I have recently painted my collection of Heretic Astartes which contains both very old models -- like the Space Crusade dreadnoughts -- and some very recent ones. I feel their design went the whole circle and returned to its roots. Excellent! »

Thousands of 40k aficionados gathered their jaws from the floor, as Forgeworld released a new Squat model, after 20-something years of GW failing even to acknowledge, that the race ever existed. Grendl Grendlsen is a model for Necromunda, with rules and fluff inside its blister pack. »

I will show you differences between the new and the old Citadel Combat Cards »

The Death Guard models released in 2017 are gorgeous, whether the ones from the starter boxes or even the "easy to assemble" ones. So are the special edition models any more special? »

A new WargamingHobby retrohammer video on YouTube about the old Chapter Approved books of all sorts. »

The first Chapter Approved, the Red Compendium, the Golden Compilation, 3rd edition Chapter Approved books and the current, 2017 one with some gadgets. »

After many years here comes a new card terrain set for Warhammer 40k Cityfight/Sector Imperialis setting. It's extremely wobbly but can be fixed and I show you how. »

Today's picture gallery celebrates one of Games Workshop's gems lost in time: the Epic (6mm scale) series of games. Thanks in large part to lower cost of introducing new models they expanded enormously the fluff of Warhammer 40k. »

Originally designed to fill gaps in failed finecast miniatures it does a really bad job at that. However it works great for adding texture to models and fixing problems with the "Chinese import" quality Games Workshop terrain »

Most fantasy and SF wargames are accused of being nothing more than glorified dice games. Whether this is true or not, dice are really the number one game pieces you will hold in your hand. They better be good then! The new dice from GW are great - if you handle them right, that is. »

Games Workshop produced an enticing-looking kit of dark future cityscape gubbinz to help you decorate bases of larger models. Unfortunately they took the low road and made a cheap rip-off of their true Warhammer 40k City Buildings line »

To have some fun, show you where my approach to wargaming comes from and share my way of using polymer glue to prevent cardboard warping I put together this short video »

Games Workshop updated their line of texture paint, adding (among other) two products: Astrogranite and Astrogranite Debris that may be useful for simulating imperial architecture. Let's see how they compare to other products I used... »

2nd edition Warhammer 40k box set came with a large set of "2-D" ruined buildings that resembled theatrical decoration more than model dioramas. I pulled some out of the basement for a photoshoot to see if they are viable on the tabletop almost a quarter of a century later... »

During the April 16-17, 2016 Weekend at Games Workshop stores you had a chance to get a special edition remake of the original 1985 Space Marine model. The new version is substantially beefier than the original and the difference is much more striking than the one between the original Mk. 4 marines and their 'Betrayal at Calth' reimagining »

As official sources at Games Workshop claim it has been exactly 30 years since the first Space Marine hit the stores. Catalogues published in the 90s and 00s claimed 1984 but its not important as every day is a good excuse to drink to the health of Imperial Space Marines! Read on to see the very first models as well as all 8 Space Marine Power Armour variants. »

A lot of time can be saved while building hills or castle walls if you use a very thick corrugated cardboard »

In my Vampire Counts army Citadel models are reduced almost to unit fillers (with the notable exception of the Terrorgheist model that I like very much) »

Back in 2001 Games Workshop had a nice Albion-themed giants as well as all the Dogs of War craziness at its height »

These miniatures from RAFM make fun proxies for various Storm of Magic monsters »
