Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
I wrote a post similar to this one some months ago. The Grot Makari got a short mention in the most recent White Dwarf, which made it pop up again. Many people pointed out that my old “5 lost characters”-list wasn’t really up to date (notably, Cypher made it back!). Long story short, let’s do […]
Forge World Open Day is up and running. A few attendants are sending pictures, among them the first shots of Forge World’s Imperial Knight Lancer and a new Tyranid Monster. Credit for these pictures goes to MyWargame.com, who are sharing stuff via their Facebook page (a lot more than shown here, so check them out!). […]
Graham McNeill wrote the companion story for the release of the Imperial Knights – Knights of the Imperium (not the most creative title!) – a 125 page novella showcasing the varieties of Knights, their outlook on war and their relationship with the Adeptus Mechanicus. The story fulfills its purpose of showcasing the Imperial Knights and […]
Today, the second digital dataslate to go with the new Tyranid Codex went up for pre-order. It’s titled *deep breath* Dataslate: Tyranid Vanguard – Rising Leviathan I. Unlike the Tyranid War Veterans, which give Space Marines going up against Tyranids new tricks, this one is very much digital padding to the Tyranid release as it stands. […]
There was a time when, every time a new Codex was released, I first looking up the new Flyers that almost inevitably came with each new Warhammer 40K release. For the most part (Dark Angels, Tau Empire, etc….), they were rather lackluster entries in their respective Codex. Is the same true for the new Tyranids Harpy […]
No respite! The new Tyranid Codex was literally released today. Yet for those who already crave more, Games Workshop put the new Dataslate: Tyrannic War Veterans up for pre-order. #1 – Dataslate: Tyrannic War Veterans Description: The Tyrannic War Veterans are a legendary Space Marines formation. They are a specialist strike force led by Chaplain […]
Today’s the day. The new Tyranid codex is officially released and in stores along with the new Tyranid miniatures. The first Warhammer 40K codex of 2014. The first Warhammer 40K codex officially written by the “Games Workshop Design Team”, rather than a specific lead-author. Moreover, this seems to be a codex that is getting a […]
Flipping idly through the latest White Dwarf, I remembered writing a separate blog-post about the Battle Report from the January 2013 White Dwarf. It was an odd battle report, preachy in a way, in trying to convince players to get rid of point values and other constraints to embrace the idea of narrative gaming. After […]
Wow. The new Tyranids are finally here!! This one felt like a loooong time coming, given how some people expected the new Tyranid Codex in December already (and that particular rumour proved surprisingly contagious). Either way… they are here now, including as iBook pre-order (which usually has nice previews). The Great Devourer has come, unleashing new […]

Enjoy! #1 – Nothing Is Safe Teaser Video #2 – January Release List #3 – Thoughts? Gonna be a mighty gribbly January! Z.
