When I play space marines, I usually play Iron Hands, and so I decided to read the Black Library book Ferrus Manus by David Guymer. I read this as an audiobook while mowing the lawn, so I'll likely misspell most proper nouns that I only heard and cannot find referenced online. This review contains...
Warhammer is so big that it can be hard to know where to start, or even if you want to start. Warhammer Academy is a new initiative from Games Workshop to shepherd people into Warhammer 40,000 through structured videos lessons and tutorials, in the style of a MOOC (massive open online course.) I...
I watched all 3 episodes of Aeronautica Imperialis on Warhammer TV streaming, and enjoyed it. It's a story of the Imperium against the Aeldari as they fight for control of a planet that's been claimed by humanity as a forge world. But really it's a story about revenge, obsession, and ultimately ev...
In Warhammer 40,000, an Exodite is an Aeldari who left their homeworld to settle a remote planet in rejection of the degeneration of the Aeldari civilisation. A new Exodite kill team has just been announced on Warhammer Community, and coincidentally I'd just been watching The Exodite Warhammer...
I like things that are built to last. I don't concede to planned obsolescence (one of the many, many reasons I run Linux), and I don't like overhauls for the sake of just producing something new. And that's why the new edition of Warhammer 40,000, called the 11th edition by everyone but Games Work...
Siege of Fellguard is a short story set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, written by Mark Clapham. This is my review of the story, with minor spoilers. The description on the Black Library website:
When the fortress world of Kelthorn voices its allegiance to Chaos, dozens of Imperial Guard...
I've written about how much I love a good gaming magazine before, and I've just finished the very good issue 522 of one of the few remaining gaming magazines, White Dwarf. I subscribe to the magazine, and it's a good thing I do because this isn't an issue I think I'd have thought to buy off the...
I'm one of those people who's best persuaded to try a new game not by the game itself but by the lore surrounding it. I've always been that way, since my first glance at a D&D Monster Manual back in grade school. When I bought Epic Warpath on Kickstarter, I put in a little extra to receive The ...
Midnight on the Street of Knives is a Warhammer 40,000 short story by Andy Chambers. This is my review of it, with no spoilers.
From the site description:
Xagor is on an errand for his haemonculus master, the delivery of a thoroughly unimportant package and some tremendously important news....
I've started watching Astartes on Warhammer+, and I'm reviewing each episode as I watch it. There are major spoilers in this review, so don't continue reading if you intend to watch the series yourself and want to experience it fresh.
As an aside, I don't actually know if Astartes is a serie...
This is my final review of my read-through of the Armageddon Crusade book for Warhammer 40,000. For me, it's kinda useless to write a "review" of something I've not experienced in a game, but I think the Armageddon rules are worth looking at, even if only academically (until I try them, as in...
The third chapter in the Armageddon Crusade book is Assault on the Fire Wastes. It's about the assault on the Fire Wastes (no surprise there), and marks the end of the Third Armageddon war. This is my review of the chapter and, because this is the final lore chapter, of the narrative portion of...
In the previous chapter of Amageddon Crusade: The Red Angel's Gate, we were introduced to the major players of the latest in a history of conflict on the planet of Armageddon. The greatest threat of all, it seemed, was the Red Angel's Gate, a hole in reality and blatant invitation for the arrival...
I bought Crusade: Armageddon for Warhammer 40,000 10th edition. Having finally finished my Pariah Nexus campaign, I'm reading Armageddon chapter by chapter. This is my review of the first chapter, War without end.
I haven't played any of the missions yet, so this is just a review of the...
In tabletop gaming, I often find that uniformity feels like a wargame, while inconsistency feels like an RPG. When you've got 2 units of 10 soldiers, and 1 captain leading them, you usually think of the soldiers as generically "the army" but you're likely to give that captain a name, a backstory, a...
I surprised myself by genuinely enjoying the War of the Rohirrim movie. When Citadel miniatures released a 28mm miniature for Héra, daughter of Helm, I bought it as an addition to my Middle Earth army. This is my review of the kit.
The box actually includes 2 models. There's Héra mounted on As...
