There are so many possible armies you can build for the 10th edition of Warhammer 40,000 that it can seem almost impossible to understand at first glance. In this post, I decipher the rules for army building in Warhammer 40,000.
The first thing to know, if you're completely new to wargaming, i...
Some time ago, I thought that it would be nice to have spaceship miniatures for Starfinder space battles. I developed a simplified system for Starfinder ship combat, which is currently a Copper Seller on DrivethruRPG, so I do actually do run ship combat pretty frequently. So I got some (more about...
I read Knights of Macragge by Nick Kyme, partly because I'm mystified by Black Library's sequencing, and this is my review. This review contains spoilers.
I thought Knights of Macragge might be part of the Indomitus series, which is weird because Indomitus (I think) isn't a series but a si...
My 1st edition Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team is one of those books that I actually feel lucky to have purchased. I could have easily not purchased it. But I did, and I still have it, and that's good because 7 years after its release it's still one of the best introductory products into Warhammer 40,...
I read the Warhammer 40,000 novel Indomitus by Gav Thorpe, and this is my review. This post contains spoilers.
You know how there are episodes of Star Trek (TOS and TNG) where our heroes beams down to a planet to save a civilisation in peril, and then there are episodes of Star Trek where our...
I hear a lot about the Warhammer 40,000 skirmish game, Kill Team, and people seem to really love it. In fact, there's a significant player base out there who seem to like it more than 40k. I was curious enough to investigate, but not $145 NZD curious (the cost of the Kill Team Starter Set, so...
I have a handful of early Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Space Marine miniatures, which I purchased on TradeMe just to practise painting back when I was just starting to explore the wargaming hobby. I don't intend to play the 3rd edition of Warhammer 40,000 but nevertheless I thought it might be fun to...
I recently listened to the Eye of Night audio drama, written by Gav Thorpe for the Warhammer 40,000 Black Library. It's a pretty short production, consisting of three files that total about 60 minutes in total. It's a proper audio drama, like an actual radio play, and it's a lot of fun to hear....
I recently read the Warhammer 40,000 novel Ephrael Stern: The Heretic Saint by David Annandale, and this is my review of the book, with no more spoilers than you'd get from the back of the book. I picked this book up based entirely on its title (a heretic saint? How does that work??) and cool...
Like many hobbyist game designers before me, I recently had the idea of taking photographs of beautiful fantasy-like settings, for lack of a reliable source of custom illustration, and use them in a game book. No matter how hard I tried though, I just couldn't make the photographs feel like a fantas...
I'm re-reading the Horus Heresy, and this is my review of The Buried Dagger by James Swallow, book 54 in the series. It's also the last book in the series, or at least the last book before the start of the Siege of Terra series. This book (weirdly?) splits its time between two distinct stories,...
I'm re-reading the Horus Heresy, and this is my review of Titandeath: The God Machine Cometh by Guy Haley, book 53 in the series. The book's primary story line is about, obviously, Titans, the battle mechs (think Neon Genesis Evangelion) of Warhammer 40,000. I consider myself a moderate fan of...
I'm re-reading the Horus Heresy, and this is my review of Heralds of the Siege , book 52 in the series. Heralds of the Siege is an anthology, consisting of several short stories, and I'm going to review each one. The Board is Set is the sixteenth and final short story in the book, written by G...
