Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
It has been a curious experience browsing Warhammer 40K forums and blogs this weekend. Why? Because GW released two Warhammer 40K supplements – Escalation and Stronghold Assault – that add super-heavies and fortifications to Warhammer 40K respectively. In some corners of the internet, the sky is falling and “Warhammer 40K is changing forever”, yet I […]
As of today, the new 6th Edition Warhammer 40K Space Marines are available for pre-order. Without a doubt, it’s been one of the most thoroughly leaked releases from Games Workshop of the last few years. Even rules from the Space Marine Codex abound on the interwebs. Of the new miniatures, the Space Marine Centurions easily sparked […]
Will the next release by Games Workshop, in September 2013, be a new Space Marines Codex? For a while, all sorts of different predictions and rumours were floating about. Orks. Black Templars. On top of that, there’re still rumours about a 40K Skirmish Game, which superseded rumours that there would be a new Blood Bowl. […]
A late Friday night surprise from the guys over at Forge World: Legion MKIV Outriders. Or, in other words, Forge World’s take on Space Marine bikes. Unlike a lot of Horus Heresy miniatures, these bikes are (to my knowledge) not a retro-redesign of older (as in.. 1980s, early 1990s) Games Workshop miniatures, but a more […]
A review of Codex Dark Angels! Let me say up first, I am still struggling to find a good format to review Warhammer 40K Codex books (or, I suppose, game-material more general). Unlike book reviews, not everything that is good or bad or noteworthy about a given supplement is immediately obvious (at least not to […]
A few weeks ago, I interviewed David Annandale, one of Black Library’s more recent new authors. He made (some short stories aside) an impressive Black Library debut with Yarrick: Chains of Golgotha. Now, his first full Warhammer 40K novel is here. Black Library already released the eBook for the Space Marines Battles novels The Death […]
Yesterday, I was rambling a bit about the (to me) rather un-fun trend in 6th Edition Codexes of adding no new Special Characters. Ok, there might not be any new kids in the book. Therefore, I took an in-depth look at the five Special Characters that actually are in the book. Azrael – Supreme Grand Masters […]
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 […]
Forge World released a new video trailer for their upcoming line of Horus Heresy books for Warhammer 40K. These books will detail the great war between the Space Marines Legions in all its blood-soaked glory. Forge World says that the Horus Heresy books will become a regular product line. Check out the fantastic new Space Marines […]
