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 […]

A First Look at 40K Warhammer 7th Edition – A Galaxy of War

Warhammer 40K A Galaxy Of War

Warhammer 40K 7th Edition is upon us. The overall vibe, over the past few weeks, seems to have become more positive. But what are the three (!) new core books of 40K really like? I’ll be looking at each of the three books in the new edition of Warhammer 40K: A Galaxy of War, Dark Millennium, […]

White Dwarf Weekly #17 – Terminators & Paint

White Dwarf Weekly 17

This weekend sees the release of Warhammer 40K 7th Edition. If you’re getting your copy from a Games Workshop store, the staff will likely be offering you this issue of the White Dwarf weekly. It’s an odd mix of releases for next week, with two new (temporary, I guess) boxed sets and new sets for […]

Space Marine Strike Force Ultra … with First Captain Agemman

The cover of next week’s White Dwarf Weekly previews a new Space Marines boxed set – Strike Force Ultra – including the new Terminator Captain, Ultramarines First Captain Agemman. The details on the miniature are generic enough that he should make a fine non-Ultramarine Terminator Captain. But the little ‘U’-shaped laurel on the shield and […]

Mystery Terminator Is Ultramarines First Captain Agemman (?)

white dwarf terminator cap093

An interesting titbit from the new White Dwarf. The “mystery” Terminator Captain Miniatures, included as an easter egg (intentionally or not) in the last of the Jervis Johnson videos on Warhammer 40K 7th Edition also makes an appearance in the White Dwarf (leading me to believe that he likely shows up with full intent). The […]

Honour To The Dead – Audio Book Review

Black Library Honour To The Dead

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 […]

Mark of Calth – Book Review – Part 2

Mark of Calth

Black Library’s Horus Heresy short story anthology Mark of Calth is themed to revolve around the aftermath of the Word Bearers treacherous attack on the Ultramarine planet of Calth, as detailed (among others) in Know No Fear. This is part two of my Mark of Calth review. Here you’ll find part one. The second half […]

Mark of Calth – Book Review – Part 1

Mark of Calth

Black Library’s Horus Heresy short story anthology Mark of Calth is themed around the aftermath of the Word Bearers’ treacherous attack on the Ultramarine planet of Calth, as described (among other books) in Know No Fear. This is a dark book. Warhammer 40K (or 30K) at its most bleak and grim, full of atrocities, 9/11 […]
