  • The third and final easter egg is the one I will relish the most. It’s a box of War of the Roses infantry by Perry Miniatures. They have been available for a couple of years at least, but I have resisted for a long time because I figured I just...

  • So there I was, browsing the Bugman’s Brewery to catch up on dwarfish gossip, when I stumbled across a most interesting little titbit. It seems that the next Warhammer source book from the Warhammer Forge will be The Battle of Black Fire Pass. A few details came out from the...

  • Can you tell what is it yet? No, it’s not some new super mutant Empire chicken, but a slightly more realistically proportioned member of the avian family. It’s an eagle from the Gamezone range of figures. I have liked their figures for some time, but I have always been a...

  • Easter is a great time of year when you are a kid. You get time off school and lots of chocolate to eat. For even bigger kids like us gamers it can be a good time too. It’s a long weekend and maybe, if you can escape the inevitable list...

  • Imagine you are a postman delivering mail to a small hamlet in the Warhammer world. You are unfamiliar with this particular village and have a parcel to deliver but don’t know which building it is. It’s obviously not one of the little hovels with an address like The Tower on...

  • Did you know that it takes the earth 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes and 16 seconds to revolve around the sun? Neither did I. But you probably did know that calendar years are measured in 365 days, and thus that each year there is a bit of extra time...

  • I have never really “got” the space marines thing. For the first 10 years of being involved in the hobby, it was purely Warhammer Fantasy Battle for me. The background, the game, the miniatures, it all slotted nicely into the things I was into, like Tolkien, mythology and fantasy art....

  • Another year gone by, more miniatures bought, sold and some even painted. A quick look at my painting log for 2011 shows that it was a patchy year. I started by painting a couple of units and a character for my chaos army, then switched to orcs and goblins when...
