Honour To The Dead is a 75 minute Horus Heresy Audio Drama from Black Library, which ties into the story arc surrounding the Word Bearers attack on the Ultramar plant of Cath. I enjoyed Mark of Calth quite a lot (my Review Part 1 and Part 2), so I thought of this as a great […]
GW Signs Agreement with Zattikka for a 40k Titan Game
More tablet-games based on Games Workshop are in the making. The iPad adaptation of Warhammer Quest by Rodeo Games should be nearing a publishing date.
