The ‘Eavy Archive – Painting Library and Recipes
On occasion I come across a website that makes me sit up and go “how have I missed this?” and those were the words I uttered when first came across ‘Eavy Archive.

Reviews and “what’s in the box”
Unboxing the Cult of Paint, Harder & Steenbeck Infinity Airbrush
Something a little different from me in the form of a YouTube video where I unbox the Cult of Paint spec Harder & Steenbeck Infinity airbrush.

The other weekend I was lucky enough to attend BLACKOUT 2017 held in Firestorm Games in Cardiff and run by the infamous Chris Tomlin. It was also the first tournament in the UK that was run using the Generals Handbook 2017, so it was a bit of a gamble as to what to expect as […]
Continue ReadingGenerals Handbook 2017 – an outsiders view
So, the weekend has been full of leaks from the Generals Handbook 2017 and Games Workshop weren’t lying when they said it was game changing! Now before I begin procrastinating, I will say that I’ve not got a review copy or a special line to anybody with a review copy. This post is based purely […]
Continue ReadingThe Goretide – Battalion Breakdown
For Bristol Smash 2017, I decided to field The Goretide battalion from the Blades of Khorne battletome in an attempt to bring some exciting shenanigans to my army.

The Forge World Acastus Knight Porphyrion was unveiled at the Horus Heresy Weekender in February put up for sale last week and I can happily say that I have one of these in my hands and what a beast! Weighing in at 1.6Kg and pretty much the same height as a Warhound Titan the Acastus […]

Armies on Parade 2016 – 6th Place!
On the 15th October was Armies on Parade 2016 and I took the plunge and entered my Khorne Bloodbound into the Swindon Warhammer store. I didn’t place for a medal but did get 6th place out of 15 entries which I’m fairly chuffed about. Armies on Parade 2016 Having never been to an Armies on Parade event before I […]

This weekend saw a first for Games Workshop – live streaming of their Warlords Tournament at Warhammer World!

Hot on the heals of the Forge World Open Day, the next bit of excitement has been the release of the Age of Sigmar Generals Handbook! I headed over to my closest Games Workshop store (Swindon) and managed to pick up one of only 12 copies the store received. I’ve said it before, but I […]
Continue ReadingForge World Open Day 2016 – Event Round Up
With each event I attend of Games Workshops’ the quality and organisation continues to improve. It would appear that the events team have managed to shackle the unruly organisation beast and now making it sing to their tune. Myself and Penddraig arrived at Warhammer World for the Forge World Open Day around 9am and the […]
Continue ReadingThirty Years of Space Marines and a Small Gap
It’s been a frantic few weeks where I’ve been out quite a bit and also been frantically preparing for a game I had with my brother last Sunday. This post is sadly going to have to suffice for the next fortnight too as I’m going to Berlin with work next week. Thirty Years of Space […]
Continue ReadingSpace Wolves Players Hand Book Runebrush’s Review
If you’re a Space Wolves player you’ll likely have come across the Space Wolves Blog over on blogspot. It’s an excellent resource for all things related to the army both in terms of modelling and gaming articles and has a pretty active group of commenter’s both on the blog and over on their Facebook page. […]

I’m pleased to say that my unit of Wulfen stormed across the battlefield this weekend and caused havoc. I’ll go into more detail of how they perform and a bit of a review on Warzone Fenris towards the end of this post 🙂 Despite my best efforts I didn’t manage to finish painting the unit […]
Continue ReadingHowls of the 13th Company – Warzone Fenris
The last week has been a pretty busy one with only a small amount of time for any hobby work. There has been a fairly significant release for the Space Wolves and Daemons in the form of a new campaign pack – Warzone Fenris. This introduces some updated rules for both, some new Space Wolves […]
Continue ReadingA New Lamp
I mentioned in The Wolves Progress that I’d got hold of a piece of wood that sits between my two desks to give me an extra bit of working area and was using this to keep my Space Wolves out as I work on them. This has been fantastic and I’m really making good progress […]
Continue ReadingImperial Knight = Plastic Crack :)
Hats off to Element Games (and Royal Mail). I ordered two Imperial Knights (one for me and one for my brother) and my order arrived on Saturday morning, which means I got them on release day. Needless to say, the Knight did get opened and inspected and I have to admit, it’s a beautiful kit. […]
Continue ReadingGreat fun with the Rivets
Last weekend I finally found a bit of time to play a game of Rivet Wars. After what seemed like an age of badgering I persuaded my other half that she wanted to have a game and she reluctantly agreed. This sounds really bad, but if I say that she prefers playing co-op style games […]
Continue ReadingWhite Dwarf Changes
Rumours came out about 3 weeks back that Games Workshop were looking to get rid of their White Dwarf magazine and replace it with something different. Initially there were quite a few different rumours, but GW confirmed a week and a bit ago that they were going to be taking White Dwarf over to a […]
Continue ReadingProduct Review: P3 Wet Palette
In recent years, miniature painters have become to be more and more “sophisticated” with their painting tools and quite a few people have moved over to a wet palette as their palette of choice for painting. I’m pretty positive that the vast majority of people reading this will know what a wet palette is and […]

Review – White Dwarf November 2012 (393)
First off one thing that I’ve realised is White Dwarf no longer promote an issue number and have instead gone for a calendar month as the issue identifier. This is likely to make it easier to manage internally – I know it’s the reason we do so where I work. This issue follows a similar […]
