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…
Mantic Games is frantically producing one great game after another. They are now on Kickstarter for Deadzone, a Sci-Fi skirmish game promising to bring easy, fast game-play of board games to the table (read the Interview with Jake Thornton for details)…
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.
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…
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…
You’ve seen Fulgrim and you’ve seen some of the pictures for what Forge World has planned for the near (we hope!) future. As more people arrive at home and share the contents of their cameras, more pictures from the Horus Heresy Weekender a…
And They Shall Know No Rest! More Horus Heresy Awesomeness from the Forge World / Black Library Horus Heresy Weekender held this weekend in Nottingham. This time, some of larger warmachinery, including a huge Assault Claw, a yet unnamed tank, a Iron H…
When it rains, it pours. The Forge World / Black Library Horus Heresy Weekender saw not only Fulgrim unveiled in full glory, but also plenty of previews for things coming down the pipeline in Forge World’s Horus Heresy range of miniatures. More E…
The Horus Heresy Weekender by Forge World and Black Library is in full swing. For the event, the second Primarch Miniature created by Forge World for their Horus Heresy series is on pre-sale for GBP 55,- (10% more expensive than Angron, I believe). Cur…
The Chaos Daemons Codex released by Games Workshop in March for Warhammer 40K is a tough one for me. I don’t play Daemons, nor do I feel much tempted to start now. I don’t play much against (!) Daemons either. They don’t seem to crop …
Following the release of the Alpha rules for Deadzone, I thought that I’d have a play with the rules. As you may have seen in my last post, I’d dug my old Necromunda terrain out from the shed – I’m in … Continue reading &…
You are probably asking yourself why, of all things in the Tau Codex, I would want to chat about Piranhas? They’ve got no new model. They aren’t exactly a hot choice for most Tau player. They are fragile and – at least on first glance…
Playing at Mantic’s Open Day DreadBall tournament this weekend reminded me once again of what a fantastic game DreadBall really is. DreadBall is fun, fast, furious and (almost) always exciting up to the very last turn (or “Rush“, as D…
OK, next up is the fantastic looking new Alien Dungeon produced KS, All Quiet on the Martian Front. A wargame that brings together Pre WW1 earth with HG Wells inspired alien invasion. This is another 15mm scale gameset and accompanying miniatures, with…
More Eldar rumours floating about the Warhammer 40K blog-o-sphere. If a recent Reddit-post by a (self-proclaimed) GW-employer is correct, the new 6th Edition Eldar should go up for pre-order on Saturday the 25th, less than two weeks from now. Another, …
Having missed every gaming event this year so far, and still holding a Mantic Ticket from the DreadBall Kickstarter, I headed to Nottingham for Mantic’s Open Day and DreadBall tournament. The DreadBall tournament was a blast, though I’ll ke…
Signature Systems are the Tau equivalent to Dark Angels Chapter Relics and Chaos Space Marines Artifacts, unique one-per-army items that grant an HQ (mainly) cool, unique abilities. As with the two 6th Edition Codexes noted above (the Chaos Daemon Co…
I am still in the middle of digesting the new Tau Empire Codex. Despite this, Games Workshop’s recent breakneck speed seems to continue unabated, with Craftworld Eldar apparently up next. Though I have no way to back-up or verify the rumours flo…
Tau XV88 Suits – Broadsides – are one of the Tau Empire units that got both an awesome new plastic kit and a bunch of interesting new options with the new 6th Edition Tau Empire Codex. As I am tinkering around with the new Tau Codex for War…
I did not (yet) have a lot of opportunities to play games at events and conventions this year. I even had to give Salute 2013 a miss. Oh well. With a few deadlines out of the way, I thought I’d jump back in. In particular, I think it is about ti…
Mantic Games are now running a Kickstarter for their Sci-Fi Miniatures Board Game Deadzone. Deadzone is Mantic Games’ fourth game on Kickstarter and, judging by its popularity so far, their most successful one yet. Like the fantastic DreadBall (…
I keep hearing how Fantasy Flight Games’ X-Wing is a massive, massive success. The first miniatures that came with the game looked a bit grubby to me (judging solely from internet pictures). Fantasy Flight keeps releasing new miniatures all the …
Here is an interesting conundrum for you to ponder. According to recent rumours posted by the little-known blog Bit by Bit Gaming, Bioware picked up the Space Marines IP left vacant by THQ’s meltdown some time ago. Hurray! But hold on.. whereR…
