Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
The day has come. Games Workshop is offering their latest edition for their flagship game – Warhammer 40,000 – up for pre-order, roughly 22 months after the most recent “6th” Edition of Warhammer 40,000 was released. Not much I can say at this point. There is a wealth of info on the new edition on […]
I have fallen a bit out of the 40K-loop over the winter. Both the Space Marines and the Tyranid Codex seemed … well … a bit bland at times. Neither really roused my interest. Now that Imperial Knights are about to hit the shelves, I am tempted to give it a try. So I picked […]
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 […]
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 […]
Gold is a surprisingly common colour for Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40K. Not all miniatures are completely in gold, like the Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard but, but there are small gold-sections on a lot of miniature. In this tutorial I present a short guide to painting gold with Citadel Metallic Paints. There are different ways […]
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 […]
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 […]
Oh boy… The Primarchs are here, and no, they are not from Forge World. Polish miniature painting studio Den of Imagination has been sculpting and showing off their version of the famous Warhammer 40K Primarchs, exquisitely sculpted in (mostly) green-stuff and to match official Games Workshop artwork of the Primarchs to boot. They are not […]
Games Workshop’s Digital Advent Calendar is closing in on the final few days, with a few interesting additions lined up. Today is an interesting one, the Warhammer 40K Kill Team rules Digital Edition. A low model-count skirmish “entry” into Warhammer 40K, to me and many other people, seems like the most obvious addition to the […]
Once upon a time there was a campaign for Warhammer 40K, which pitched Dark Angels Space Marines against the might of Ghazghkull Thraka himself: Storm of Vengeance. To my surprise, my (rudimentary) google-fu still found a pdf for the Storm of Vengeance campaign on the GW website. More recently, game developers Eutechnyx dropped the news, that […]
