I must say, overall I have been impressed with Forgeworld’s revamped walkers. First the contemptor, which I thought looked rather amazing, and now the Decimator Daemon Engine. It has a rough, brutish look, something that I think several of the Chaos space marine models are missing. While keeping in proportion of its imperial counterpart. I …

Protecting your models during games
There is an interesting discussion over on Dakka that has gotten me thinking a bit. First from experience of having something like this happen, and from the perspective that I am soon to have an all Forgeworld Death Korps army ready for play. Which if you did not know, has millimeter thick lasgun barrels, which …

Recasting, and the ethics of using it
So BOLS did an article attempting to vilify a site called Miniatures Hobby, and the fact that they are a recasting site. I thought I would throw in my opinion of them. I have purchased from them a couple of times now, and aside from the time it takes to get the items from them, …

Thoughts on the playability of apocalypse 2
These are official units suitable for standard sized games of Warhammer 40,000 as well. So to get that out of the way. Even before I was able to start reading into these I had a friend immediately going “omg I can run such and such now” and I was pushing back on this idea because, …

Forgeworld masterclass book
I have had a few people mention this to me recently, and I was interested in hearing some others thoughts. More specifically, people who have bought it, used it and found it informative, or people who thought it was rubbish. I know it goes deep into techniques used to get some of the looks that …

Some new Forgeworld stuff
I have been a fan of the forgeworld stuff for some time, and they keep producing some ace products. Below are a couple of the new items coming out of their studio. First, the Graia Pattern Rapier Laser Destroyer. This little guy is an excellent model, that looks very refined. Although I cannot think of …

Proteus Landraider
I think forgeworld has out done themselves this time. They have recreated one of my favorite space marine tanks in a really nicely remastered kit. It will be nice to see more of this style one the boards, and they have fixed a few of the weaker points of the Games workshop version of the …

Project updates Imperial Guard, Chaos Daemons, Legion of everblight
I spent most of Friday night out playing games of 40k, so I was able to get very little finished. Part of my imperial guard is on hold awaiting replacement parts from Forgeworld. I was given 2 left inner sides to one of the imperial bombards instead of 1 right and 1 left piece, so …

Project Log: Imperial guard, daemons and more
I ended up putting together my new laptop last night, but I had time to build 2 heralds of tzeentch and 2 daemons princes. I decided on a whim, which always end expensively, to buy up the last few items I needed for my daemons. So yesterday at lunch I picked up 4 heralds (the …

Considerations with necrons
Of all armies out there, I think this is going to be one of the biggest flavor of the month armies yet. I know at least 4 people locally who are jumping on to them, and I am sure most of you out there know several as well. Why would you see this? Well, they …
