Hello there. My names Reece and Phil has kindly let me be a contributor to The Shell Case (the poor, poor fool). I’ll mostly talk about topics in the wargaming industry that interest me, along with the odd review, interview or tactica. To get things off to a flying start, I’m going to post tacticas […]
The Eldar Wraithknight! I can already see how that beast is going to keep my busy blogging in the coming weeks. The new Eldar Wraithknight is part of Games Workshop’s latest release for Warhammer 40K 6th Edition. It is one of the largest kits eve…
Tomorrow should see the official release of the new White Dwarf and, with it, the pre-orders for the new Eldar miniatures. Apparently, the lucky Warhammer 40K fans of France also received Games Workshop’s official email announcing the new release…
When Ferrus Manus awoke to find himself alone amidst the wilds of Medusa he, as one would expect from a child, was scared and confused. However, unlike a normal child, he was scared and confused because he assumed that he was there because he was weak. Unlike many of his brothers, Ferrus did not seek […]
Another one bites the dust! Really enjoyed painting this particular model, so much so that I bought another one straight …
Nie wytrzymałem malowania samych Persów i wczoraj machnąłem na szybko, w ciągu godziny, kolejnego trupożercę do moich ożywieńców. Malowanie jest ciut niestandardowe co do sposobu – na akrylowy kolor główny Khemri Brown położyłem farbę o…
Slitherine Games is a comparatively small British game developer. They recently launched a few games for the iPad, including Battle Academy and Legion. All appear to be turn-based strategy games or board-game simulations in some shape or another. A few…
Hello to all Warhammer 40K fans. The “A Tale of X Gamers” initiative intends to illustrate that it is possible to build an army for 40K, Fantasy or any other wargame spending a small amount of money over a one year period. …
Those that read my review of Codex Tau Empire back in April will know that I was rather taken with the grey skinned bastards. So much so that I’m doing a little 1,000 point allies force to go with my two companies of Ultramarines. And those that read my review will also remember that I […]
The Iron Daemon presented me with a few issues.I picked it up from the Forge World stand at Salute 2012. As with most things Forge World, its essentially a very nice piece of design that still doesn’t justify its price and was nowhere near as wel…
Hi, this is Spell from BloodyBrushes. Today, step by step, I will show you how to get the effect of corrosion and paint coming off on the model. A little warning here, supporters of delicate messing will find nothing interesting here… Witam, tu …
It has been an interesting few weeks. Less than a month ago, the extremely popular Warhammer 40K rumour blog Faeit212 was taken down by Google (he since returned to this temporary site). It is widely suspected – including by me – that Faeit…
The Eldar will arrive this weekend (for pre-orders at least) to the 6th Edition of Warhammer 40K. Games Workshop’s been exceptionally tight on this one, though the first images from the White Dwarf have started to appear the last couple of days.
Hello folks. This is my fourth article from a series about “A Tale of X Gamers – ToXH” where I’ll build a 2000 point Ork army for the Warhammer 40K game. On the previous article I presented my full army list and mini…
Two more little gems for you from the up coming White Dwarf of new Eldar stuff. Wraithblades and the new Eldar flyer, the name of which escapes me. I’m not convinced by the distinctly human design of the flyer. Looks a little bit like the Eurofig…
Dziś moja kolej na pokazanie epicowej dłubaniny – trójka drednotów Imperialnych Pięści. Szczerze powiedziawszy, to jedne z najgorszych modeli GW, jakie kiedykolwiek malowałem. Krzywe “linie proste”, wklęsłe “płaskie powierzchnie”, nieostre “o…
John Caboche of The First Expedition forum is running a Horus Heresy Weekender charity raffle to raise money for Swindon Children without a Diagnosis which is an extremely worthwhile and important cause to support. Because it’s for children for crying out loud. The prize is a fully signed copy of the Imperial Truth. I shit thee not. […]
The Eldar are back! After weeks of silence with only a rare few whispers on the next Codex-release for Warhammer 40K, news finally broke: The Craftworld Eldar arrive with a shiny new 6th Edition Codex and new miniatures, including the massive (allegedl…
Whispers have been about concerning the prices for the Eldar. It appears increasingly certain that the new Wraithknight will indeed be significantly larger than, say, the Tau Riptide. And significantly more expensive, priced at about the level of the c…
With my Infinity figures painted and my motivation for the Arabian Knights is rock bottom, I decided to do a project that I had in mind for quite some time now. Some of you might remember my other hellcannon, her sister actually (yes, it is a she, prob…
I’m feeling quite excited by the Mars Attacks game. It’s not so much the game itself, though the idea of 80 foot robots and giant insects is quite appealing, but more what it says about Mantic as a company.It feels significant that at the moment Games …
The arrival of the Eldar to Warhammer 40K 6th Edition is almost upon us. It appears that the new miniatures and Codex will go up for pre-order soon, possibly this Saturday, and be available for purchase starting June 8. Some details of what may (or may…
Another imminent release another batch of leaked photos. Below we have the rumoured Wraith Knight as well as a glimpse at the Codex art. The eagle eyed amongst you will also notice the Iyanden Codex Supplement which pretty much tells you what you’ll have to do if you had a specific craftworld in mind. Prepare […]
The Eldar Wraithknight has arrived. Games Workshop seems to shoot for a slightly different visual style with their new range of Eldar Miniatures for Warhammer 40K 6th Edition. Time for a first review! How do the new 6th Edition Eldar miniatures compare…
