Warhammer 40K – Spirit of the Game – The Retro 1996 Edition

White Dwarf 1996

One thing that always stirs up some controversy in 40K are the “Spirit of the Game”-boxes  included in the rulebook, which emphasise players – not just game designers – doing their part to make sure a game of Warhammer 40K is fun, enjoyable and “reasonably balanced”. Love it or hate it, the philosophy has been […]

A Review of the Space Marine Strike Force Ultra Dataslate

Space Marines Strike Force Ultra

Dataslates first hit Warhammer 40K during last year’s Digital Advent Calendar, leading up to Christmas. Like any of the pre-Christmas digital dataslates – say the Tau Fire Support Cadre – the Strike Force Ultra dataslate was written to match the box of miniatures of the same name. A Strike Force Ultra is considered by any Chapter […]

White Dwarf Weekly #17 – Terminators & Paint

White Dwarf Weekly 17

Interesting fluff too, which reminds me a lot of the old Chaos Space Marine Dreadnoughts! #1 – New […]

These Terminators from Space Hulk have a lot of details like this sculpted on. Painting them, I decided to paint gemstones purple, contrasting nicely with the red armour. This […]

Dark Angels Blues – What Is Wrong With The Unforgiven?

Deathwing Terminator

I am running a small poll on what people perceive to be the best Codex released in Warhammer 40K 6th Edition. The tail light of this poll is the Chaos Daemons Codex. While this may be unfortunate, it isn’t all that surprising. Though Daemons have a small, but devout following of fans, the Codex received […]
