Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
A little rules conundrum I came across in Warhammer 40K, which I thought I’d share (not least to get some opinions). Can a unit in Warhammer 40K with the Interceptor special rule fire its weapon twice during the opponent’s turn, once using Interceptor and once using the Overwatch rule? #1 – A Day in Warhammer […]
I have been leafing through the Dark Angels Codex for Warhammer 40K 6th Edition a bit more. Being a new book, a new edition, a new codex author, etc.., I am trying to let it sink in a bit before making any attempt at a review or judgement call. Last week, I posted my musings […]
As many of you will know already, Rick Priestley is on Kickstarter with his vision of a comprehensive science-fiction wargaming universe: Beyond the Gates of Antares. Beyond the Gates of Antares is a rather unusual Kickstarter-campaign, one that I have given a tough, critical look recently. In Rick Priestley’s impressive CV as a game designer […]
With the Warhammer 40K 6th Edition Dark Angels codex released, now seems a good time to see how Games Workshop is tinkering with point costs to influence the meta-game. More than any other unit, the basic, most common Space Marine units offer an excellent rough indicator to comparing different editions of Warhammer 40K. They are, […]
The latest White Dwarf from Games Workshop. I already forked an article about the controversial battle-report found in this White Dwarf. Time now, to run through the rest of the magazine. I clearly wont be able to cover every bit, which is arguably the reason I find reviewing the White Dwarf tedious.. it’s very hard […]
Time to take a peek at the limited edition of the Codex: Dark Angels. I’ve wondered what these new limited edition codexes for Games Workshop’s 6th edition of Warhammer 40K were all about. I missed the Chaos version, limited to 1000 copies worldwide, which was gone before I even knew that a limited edition Codex […]
Summary: The latest White Dwarf’s battle report really pushes the idea of “narrative gaming”. Yet it does so in an oddly uneven manner. No narrative is actually shown. No hooks are given to inspire people to make their own narratives for their battles. I don’t feel the heart of the writers (or Games Workshop in […]
Summary: Flight of the Eisenstein isn’t the finest book in the Horus Heresy series. Most of it feels like padding, re-treating already covered ground without adding anything relevant. Poor characters and implausible turns make it an unsatisfactory read. The final chapters improve on the bad start, however, and offer some great Nurgle-thick action. I have […]
It is time! The White Dwarf pictures have circulated on the internet. Now it is official. The Dark Angels are here. Check out the latest release for Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40K: the Dark Angels in all their dark and gothic splendour. Deathwing, Ravenwing, new sculpts for Asmodai and Belial, and the new Dark Angels Codex, including as (slightly […]
Happy New Year! I hope everyone got through the New Year’s festivities alright. If you missed it celebrating, Games Workshop released the official word for the upcoming Dark Angels codex and miniatures in the form of a brief teaser YouTube trailer. Reason enough to take a closer look at the Dark Angels’ classic background, rich with […]
