Warhammer 40K – Spirit of the Game – The Retro 1996 Edition

White Dwarf 1996

One thing that always stirs up some controversy in 40K are the “Spirit of the Game”-boxes  included in the rulebook, which emphasise players – not just game designers – doing their part to make sure a game of Warhammer 40K is fun, enjoyable and “reasonably balanced”. Love it or hate it, the philosophy has been […]

White Dwarf Weekly #20 – Mek Gunz & Shokk Attack Gun

White Dwarf Issue #20

I’ve seen people remark how Games Workshop’s current release for Warhammer 40K Orks seems slow. It certainly feels a bit like a shift to a lower gear after some of the crazy weeks we had in the past. To be honest, I like it a bit slower. The current pace is still breakneck madness compared […]

Ork Releases Week #3 – Mek Gunz, Still No Codex

Warhammer 40K Ork Rumours

The third week of Ork releases is coming in the form of Big Meks and some of their favourite toys, including the Shokk Attack Gun in plastic. Again, there does not seem to be a Codex in the mix though, meaning the Ork release will (at least) be spread over 4 weeks, making it the […]

Flash Gitz on Pre-Order … Those Sprues Are Insane!!

White Dwarf 19 cover

As it says on the tin… Games Workshop put up the Warhammer 40K Ork Flash Gitz for pre-order. They aren’t cheap, 5 miniatures for £32?, but those weapon sprues are pretty insane. Have a look! #1 – Flash Gitz Sprues #2 – White Dwarf Sprues & Glue Even the White Dwarf has a Sprues and Glue […]

White Dwarf #18 – Gorkanaut & Jokes

White Dwarf 18 Gorkanaut

White Dwarf Weekly #18 is here – introducing the Gorkanaut and kicking off the new Warhammer 40K Ork releases (which, it seems, will continue with Flash Gitz next week). Still, this week is all about showing off the Gorkanaut (and Morkanaut). Despite the model’s size and plenty of Ork jokes, it feels like GW are […]

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 […]

Dark Vengeance Returns….

Dark Angels vs. Crimson Slaughter

More evidence appears that the starter-set for Warhammer 40K 7th Edition will indeed be the same that it was for Warhammer 40K 6th Edition… Dark Vengeance. #1 – White Dwarf Preview #2 – 40K Radio Rumour Confirmation Via 40K Radio. Another 40k fact about 7th. Stick with 40k Radio for facts not rumors and fiction. […]

Warhammer 40K 7th Edition – Everything Is Scoring!

Everything is Scoring

More details about Warhammer 40K 7th Edition are appearing. This time through the Facebook page of the Overlords Podcast from London. This one is interesting, as it sheds a bit of light on how “unbound armies” in Warhammer 40K 7th Edition will be able to work (especially if they have no troops). In a nutshell, […]
