Do you horde toy soldiers? If so there is help.I saw this article pop up the other day over on White Metal Games, and I gotta admit it really hit home to me. So I realized I had a “problem” when my movers told me I was 5000 lbs over the estimated weight for my […]

It’s weird how many different opinions there are out there about the new Dark Vengeance box set.Most people love it, as all the models seem usable.  They look to be the best in the two part format figures Games Workshop has ever produced. I would even be willing to be they will win some sort […]

I woke up this morning to an absolute fusillade of text and email messages about an apparently leaked list of new 40k releases for 2012/13.Story goes someone was data mining info for the new Hobbit movie and stumbled upon Games Workshop’s miniature releases, which also happened to contain their 40k releases as well. The posts […]

Apparently soon we’ll be seeing regular FAQ updates in an unprecedented move to “maintain balance”.That very thing was reported today out of the UK, that starting with the release of the new starter set, we’ll see some possibly groundbreaking FAQ’s. While I’m all for restoring balance (that worked for the Jedi right?), I’m not sure […]

A long time ago (or so the story goes), I painted up the first Forge World Warhound Titan, and was very proud of it.Just building the model itself took considerable effort on my part, as I had never really dealt with resin before. Plus the sheer scale of the model was quite challenging as well, […]

This little diddy popped up over on the BoLS lounge, summarizing the rest of 2012’s releases.It seems to coincide with a lot of the assumptions I was making earlier in the year using previous releases and sales data.  I also had a gut feeling that the Chaos release would precede any 6th Starter box after […]

Today we have another guest post by TPM, that addresses what to do now with the rumored legalization of Imperial Armor units in 6th! From TPM A buddy of mine asked me what list I would build for a tournament that allowed these units and below is what I came up with. I am pretty disappointed […]

If Christmas was in July, all I would want, would be Sixth Edition. After seeing the way the Flyer rules were thoroughly written, I have a ton of hope for this rules set. As a player, I think I was rather successful (competitively speaking), during the reign of 5th Edition.  So to that end I’ve come up with a a few possible […]

Brace for Impact! Sixth Edition is almost here?!! Hot on the heels of all those 5th Edition books disappearing from shelves and Games Workshop’s main site over the weekend, we’re hearing more and more rumors as the release is seemingly imminent! So what’s next?  Well let’s take a look back to the summer of 2010, when 8th Edition Fantasy […]

Voting is almost over in the first Maxim Gamer Girl contest….If you need help selecting a young lady to vote for, look no further. Read on for my top pick, Jillian R. Original Post:So the heat is on. Maxim Magazine is running a contest to find their very first “Gamer Girl”, and you can help. You see this thing […]

Well I just got all the details on the new Price Adjustment from Games Workshop and well I’m still on the fence.Most items that saw an increase last year, did not receive one this again. For the increase apparently it’s only 4% when averaged across the board. However some items spiked sharply; like the Stormraven […]

Just like Christmas and birthdays, the Games Workshop Annual Price Adjustment usually happens in about two weeks, around the first of June. Why? Well GW’s Fiscal year starts then, and it sets in motion their Q1 plans. What does that mean for us? Well besides hopefully 6th Edition in June, probably higher prices on some items.  Now, […]

So the heat is on. Maxim Magazine is running a contest to find their very first “Gamer Girl”, and you can help.You see this thing is a big voting contest, where the would be gamer girls post their profile, pictures, and a few short videos about who they are and why they deserve to be […]

While I’m not prepared to spit in the face of Games Workshop and players across the world by leaking actual pictures of  the new Flyers, I did make a video on the newest flyer to date, the Storm Eagle Assault Gunship. Let’s pause on talking about the new Storm Eagle for just a second- I […]

This little diddy popped up over on White Metal Games’ (WMG) blog the other day, comparing Spikey Bits and Horde of Bits’ servicesI’ve featured WMG’s conversions on here before, as they seem to make some really great stuff to fill the gaps that Games Workshop leaves us, from time to time. I guess they may […]

MBG back again with the last, for now at least, of my Games Workshop 2012 Release Schedule musings.Last time I talked a lot about the all the rumored upcoming releases, but what about post 6th edition? What do we have to look forward to this fall? So today’s rant will be about late year releases. […]

Finecast miniatures are either a blessing in disguise or a disgrace to the community, depending on who you talk to. Personally I have never had an issue with the models, and any of our customers that have had issues were taken care of by Games Workshop Customer Service ( 1-800-394-GAME). One thing is for sure, […]
