I own a handful of very old Chaos Space Marines models for Warhammer 40,000, and I've acquired a few updated models in the Blackstone Fortress. I also had a spare Armiger Helverin model that I decided to paint black, and a black Land Raider model I also use for my Iron Hands army, and some Warga...
Sometimes dreams do come true. When I first got Liber Mechanicum for Horus Heresy: Age of Darkness, I was most intrigued by the entry for the Arcuitor Magisterium. Many units in Horus Heresy don't have official models, which is refreshing on one hand because it means you get to use your imaginat...
This is my review of the Codex Imperial Knights for 10th edition Warhammer 40,000. An Imperial Knight in Warhammer isn't just some guy in shining armour, it's a guy in a battle mech. Imperial Knights tower over pretty much any other Warhammer miniature, with even a big Space Marine maybe reachin...
In White Dwarf issue 519, there's an article, titled The Golden Throne, about the 4-mile wide and half-mile tall "golden throne" that houses and sustains the Emperor's remains in Warhammer 40,000. It's a short article in 3 parts that cover the throne itself, Sanctum Imperialis where the throne...
I watched the second episode in Penitence on Warhammer TV, a show about the Adepta Sororitas of the Order of the Sacred Rose. This is my review of it, with only minor spoilers, most of which we got from the early trailers of the show.
This episode starts where the previous one left off, with the...
A new show's out on Warhammer TV, and it's all about the Adepta Sororitas in the Order of the Sacred Rose. Oh, and Orks. It's called Penitence and I've started watching it this week. This is my review of episode 1, with only minor spoilers.
Thesion IV is presumably a planet that was once under I...
In the early days of the Horus Heresy, there was much confusion about how widespread Horus's betrayal was. Sergeant Stheno of the Iron Hands had heard enough confirmation that the Warmaster had betrayed the Emperor to force himself to believe it that it was true, but the extent and impact of the bet...
Miniature wargames require miniatures, and the biggest wargame out there is Warhammer 40,000. The same company that publishes 40k also happens to manufacture miniatures (branded as Citadel). As a player and hobbyist painter, I appreciate the alignment between the miniatures and the rules. However,...
I backed the Battletech Mercenaries Kickstarter and have [at long last] received the box and add-ons. The box, as sold on the shelf, contains 8 mechs and 4 support vehicles. Because I was a backer, I also got a few bonus support vehicles (some tanks and airplanes), a nice collector coin (which I u...
I applied for a community grant from an organisation called Creative Communities to run a free miniature painting workshop. As the name of the organisation suggests, it's a grant specifically to foster creativity in your community, and luckily the committee agreed with me that the admittedly niche...
I tend to get a lot of use out of the game books I buy, and Pariah Nexus is no exception. I bought this Crusade book for $100 NZD and I've read 44 pages of lore and then spent a whole 2 months playing through its 15 missions in order. This is my review of the Pariah Nexus Crusade book's missio...
I'm playing through the missions in the Pariah Nexus Crusade book, in order of appearance. The fifteenth and final mission is called Final Acquisition.
After some reflection, I've decided that the previous mission was the logical and definitive conclusion to the Pariah Nexus story I was tellin...
I'm playing through the missions in the Pariah Nexus Crusade book, in order of appearance. The fourteenth and penultimate mission is called Reawakening.
In this mission, there are 5 objectives. The outer 2 are objectives A, the inner 2 are objectives B, and the centre one is objective C.
- O...
I'm playing through the missions in the Pariah Nexus Crusade book, in order of appearance. The thirteenth mission is called Into the Tomb.
Before starting this mission, I took time to assemble the archeotech my Adeptus Mechanicus army has [finally] found. I'd mistakenly recalled that you neede...
I'm playing through the missions in the Pariah Nexus Crusade book, in order of appearance. The twelfth mission is called Nullification field.
In this mission, there's a Nullification Field, 12" in diametre, emanating a from the centre of the game board. There are objectives north and south of...
I'm playing through the missions in the Pariah Nexus Crusade book, in order of appearance. The eleventh mission is called Interdimensional clash.
A designer's note in this mission advises you to use so much terrain that you create a maze of corridors. I've used this trick in the past in my own...
