Warhammer 40K Tau Empire Sun Shark Bomber

The new 6th Edition Tau Empire Codex is the second Warhammer 40K Codex written by the “new” kid on Games Workshop’s Codex writer-team: Jeremy Vetock. Codex Dark Angels was his first.

Oh So Many Wasted Pages… Death From The Skies

February 21, 2013 10 Comments

From the moment it was announced (and before), Death From The Skies sparked controversy. All the fuss about not getting the book in stores, needing to buy a 20,- quid FAQ, etc.. is only made worse by the fact that Death From The Skies is – truly – a very bad product.

Games Workshop has always been a divisive company, even more so for those independent retailers that build a part of their livelihood on selling Games Workshop products in their stores. Yesterday’s “surprise release” of the Death From The Skies rules-supplement for Warhammer 40K sparked angry outrage among a number of small, independent american hobby stores, mainly [...]

The second part deals with the three additions in the book that go beyond the Crusade of Fire campaign itself: The flyer rules of “Burning Skies”, the rules for playing on “Daemon Worlds” and the mini-game “Arena of Death”.
