In addition to my Angmar army, I have also been refurbishing my Nuln Army – rebasing, repainting, rethinking. I was fond of my old concept of an Expeditionary Force led by a With Hunter – especially because of the campaign a friend and I played which f…
As would be expected I’ve spent a lot of time since Wednesday coming up with new High Elf army lists from the new book all with the intent of re-creating my 2400pt Tournament list to make best use of the new toys. The new book creates a huge numb…
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…
First up big props to GW Australia for some excellent customer service. A new High Elf army book is already on its way out to me to replace the damaged one I recieved the other day, and I get to keep the damaged one which saves me the cost of returnin…
Hello!!!This week i was very busy because of work, but no one can prevent me to do some conversions on my miniatures!!! ahaha!!!As i said on my previous post, i wanted to realize a shield in front of crew compartment.To do this i used some plasticard a…
I’ve just been reading a rather interesting post over on House of Paincakes. The author Cedric is talking about the current proliferation of new games, at least in part driven by Kickstarter. He talks about what happens when you want to try something n…
First up GW Australia got back to me extremely quickly and have already dispatched a replacement army book for me which is just awesome. Damage to the book aside I have to say its pretty damn good. Now I know there are bundles of reviews of the b…
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…
Got to work this morning and found a package from GW waiting for me containing the new High Elf book army book and the High Elf High Magic cards. Started flicking through the book from the back and it was looking great until I came to pages 17-32…
Well this is monster number one for my ogres, I am busy with the Thundertusk. I love this model, I really do it is just cool! Its just a shame that monsters are so easy to take out of the game if they are not protected, suppose they are in the best fac…
Hi all!In many years dedicated to the hobby, the Imperial Guard is one of the armies that is giving me the most satisfaction from the modeling point of view.As I said earlier i’m a big fan of military vehicles and nothing better than the imperial guard…
I made it Ok it is only a small conversion when it comes down to it just a mixture of Stonehorn bits and green stuff onto an old giant I have. But still I am pretty happy with it and now I have something that fits in the rest of my army
This week I’ve been finishing my giant for #bitsboxchallenege for tomorrows #miniaturemonday, when I get the dates right anyway. I even have pictures Collection run-down/State of Hobby So I though I would do something silly or maybe therapeutic t…
Another late night as both Lorna and I make the most of the bank holiday building our armies. Proof yet again that I am as slow as a one toed sloth, I have only managed half a figure over the last two days, while Lorna has completed a massive two and a…
Fire Caste by Peter Fehervari – a television script-writer who has not written a book for Black Library before – is a strange, strange novel. Some things should be stated up-front. Fire Caste certainly isn’t much of a Tau novel, and f…
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…
Things are heating up in my mini Warhammer Fantasy campaign. Lorna has steamed ahead on her Vampire Counts building and has actually overtaken me in fully built units, for those wondering about the Halberdier unit I build last week, they are scrapped. …
Can a 1500 pts. Tau Empire army list bring two XV104 Riptides? I’ve been asking myself this question ever since I did my write-up on the new Tau Riptide. It is an awesome miniature with lots of options, asking you to choose between a the more agg…
Been spending some time over at the Ulthuan forums since details of the new High Elf book have been released and confirmed across numerous websites and blogs. One of the threads on Ulthuan details how non-High Elf players reactions to the B…
One of the biggest, most talked-about releases for Warhammer 40K last year was Forge World’s first Horus Heresy book. One feature that got a lot of attention was the inclusion of game-stats for Space Marine Primarchs. Of course, there was also th…
The ogres are coming along at a fair rate now. I do love my leadbelchers how could you turn down those crazy guns Although to be fair I am always disappointed by the shooting SO many dice should do better Anyway I will keep using them..
Games Workshop has filed a DMCA (Copyright) Complaint to Google about prominent Warhammer 40K Blogs that published leaked White Dwarf pictures – most notably nafta.blogspost.com (also known as Faeit212) and, it appears, Belloflostsouls.net (?). H…
The new Tau Codex for Warhammer 40K is a great book to delve into. There are endless combinations of different units, equipment-options and abilities. Great fun. I found it far more difficult to pick a “definitive” best-off-list for the Tau…
This week I have been busy getting my giant done so I can claim my first #bitsboxchallenege for tomorrows #miniaturemonday. Just need to remember pictures :S High Elves So the next book is going to be the high elves, I always had a soft spot for the el…
