Custodes Grav-Carrier, The Mighty Zug, and Mazarall the Butcher


Forgeworld today in celebration of the near year is revealing several new models and spreading out the love for the Age of Sigmar, Blood Bowl, and 40k. Definitely liking the Custodes Grav-Carrier.

The Gathering Storm: The Fall of Cadia



The following was sent to me this morning regarding the Fall of Cadia.

What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics to natfka@live.com

I'm Walter from Florence, Italy. I'm an avid reader of your website, which is way more than just a rumour blog in my opinion. I paint since the early 90s, mostly greenskins, at ridiculously low speed. 
For the first time I'm submitting something for the "what's on your table" section, feel free to use it if you like it:

Rumors on the First Primarch of 2017, An Eldar Combo Boxset and Exodites?


This rumor dives into several things we have already heard in that there are no Sisters for awhile and that the first loyal primarch will be Roboute. check out the latest rumors.

Forgeworld Jigsaw Day 5.


It's getting closer to a full reveal, but in the meantime..... guesses?

The Assault: A Look at Ranged vs Melee Combat in the Genesys Project.


The 2nd Age has been deemed the age of technology by early playtesters. While part of that is true, with several technology species modifications, powered armor, and vehicles, there is a lot more to it than that.

So a lot of what is getting discussed with in house early playtesters is ranged combat vs melee combat. As with other games we all know and play, if you don't shoot those melee specialists dead they are going to get you, but in the Genesys Project it goes a step further.

Gangs of Commorragh Pic


Finally we get a look at the Gangs of Commorragh that we have only had early rumors of and a small part of this image.

What's On Your Table: Shaltari Battleship and Fleet



What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics to natfka@live.com

While I am a big fan of 40k I am also a big fan of Dropzone and the new Dropfleet by hawkwargames.
Dropzone is not only one of the most well balanced games I have played but also some of the best miniatures about.
While I have not yet had the pleasure of getting my Dropfleet Kickstarter at this time (14-12-16) a friend who has gotten there’s gave me his spare Shaltari ships and I have gotten myself a battleship in the meantime as well. I was also lucky enough to get a space station sprue in a gift bag when I visited the hawk open day back in September.

Forgeworld Jigsaw: Day 5


Still up in the air, but here is jigsaw puzzle piece number 5. Do we yet know what is going on?

January White Dwarf Pics + Prices listed.


January White Dwarf reveals the Fall of Cadia and the Chaos Battletome Disciples of Tzeentch. Of course there are models as well, like the Truimvirate of the Imperium, which apparently is telling us that we have to purchase all the models in a single box set. Hmmm, thats a little disappointing.

New Rumour Engine – December 28th


We have been playing a lot of "What is this" lately with Games Workshop, and today's Rumor Engine is just that; another sneak peak at something we have no clue what it is.

What do you think?

Armored Assault Box Sets: GW Reveals them all.



Games Workshop has revealed all the box sets coming to pre-order this weekend. These are cool because they are covering 12 different armies. Check out the first release of 2017.

Customizing the Next Power Armor- The Genesys Project


Its a very common theme to see powered armor in movies, games (video and tabletop), and books. Even more exciting is our current world, where many different companies and governments are working on suits capable of protecting soldiers, increasing their strength multiple times, and much more.

Forgeworld JIgsaw Day 4


This year Forgeworld has thrown us for a loop. Here is Day 4. Your Guesses?

What's On Your Table: Admech


What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics to natfka@live.com

I have never really settled on an army. I've jumped from codex to codex trying to find an army that feels right. As I work in engineering, it only made sense that admech needed a bit of attention. This is the start of my army. Always open for criticism as am always looking to improve, so feedback always welcome. Hope you enjoy.

Forgeworld Jigsaw Twist..... Day 3


Day one everyone pretty much figured they knew what this model was based on the Axe. Now it's day 3 and if this is a single model, what is it?

Whispers of Future Releases. Guilliman and Cypher



Definitely rumored at the moment, but an unknown source has sent this in. The source is new, with no reason to doubt him.

Stormcloud Attack Datasheets



This morning the Warhammer Community has posted up all the Stormcloud Attack Datasheets and the Pilot Record Sheets

40k: Big List of Pre-Order Box Sets This Week



Warhammer 40k will get lots of new box sets going up for pre-orders this coming weekend. No new models, so just repacks.

Forgeworld Christmas Jigsaw Puzzle Surprise!


Forgeworld is getting back into the annual tradition of their Christmas Jigsaw Puzzle. It stasrted yesterday, and today we are getting a second peak at the model. Any Guesses?

Mantic's Look Ahead to 2017. Kings of War, Warpath, and Other Games


Mantic is giving us the latest look ahead for 2017, and just what each of their games will bring us.

Artwork Revealing Duardin?


Interestingly enough, Warhammer Community released some wallpaper images for everyone for Christmas. However, most of us had seen this artwork before with the exception of looking at this image in a Portrait pic instead of the standard Landscape image. The portrait has Duardin along the bottom, possibly giving us a hint of what is to come.

Games Workshop New Made to Order and a Free Wallpaper from Forgeworld


From Games Workshop there are new Made to Order items as well as a free download from Forgeworld.

Merry Christmas from Faeit 212


By now most of you are up and hopefully having a good Christmas, or at the very least taking the day to relax a bit. Be safe, and enjoy the holidays.

Hopefully there will be a model or two for you under the tree this year.

What's On Your Table: Tau



What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics to natfka@live.com

I have finished another wave of turquise TAU. This time I clashed against some Forge World miniatures as well as GW's. The colour scheme was expanded with use of orange and it totally buffed the visuals. I also improved the setup to take pictures so now colours look almost like a real deal thing. 

What's On Your Table: Tech-Priest Dominus


What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics to natfka@live.com

I picked up a paintbrush for the first time in 2 years, got the painting itch and went out and bought the Skitarii Start Collecting set. I'm a sucker for HQ models, so I started on the Tech-Priest Dominus and used it to come up with a paint scheme. I looked to the art of John Blanche as inspiration, and I'm really happy with the result! I've also included a WIP shot of the Onager Dunecrawler I'm working on now. Hope you enjoy it.

What's On Your Table: Storm Eagle


What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics to natfka@live.com

After my first trip up to WHW last month I picked up a storm eagle. I wanted to try out some freehand, this is the result. Pretty happy but as always, c&c welcome.

What's On Your Table: Mortis Engine and Wight King


What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics to natfka@live.com

Finished up my Mortis Engine and Wight King for my Death army recently, thought I'd share.

Andy Chambers: Unit Design Theory



Andy Chambers, the master of creative game design talks about Unit Design Theory. This is a good watch, and interesting from a man who has worked extensively with Games Workshop on 40k, Blizzard on Starcraft 2, and a myriad of different projects.

Dark Angels Codex Sold Out and No Longer Available



We are eagerly anticipating January releases and exactly what that will bring us. The Dark Angels codex is sold out and not available in the US and Australia, although a soft cover is readily available in the UK, Germany and elsewhere.

Since I've gotten plenty of emails about the hardcover codex being sold out, I wanted to make certain readers are aware that this most likely is just the codex moving over to a soft cover codex in your region.

Dropfleet Commander Teaser and Updates



Hawk Wargames has shared its final Corvette teaser, the PHR. Can't wait for these to get here.

On a personal note, I just got my Battleships now, and am working on getting them together over the next couple of days. (I also picked up some new starter sets since apparently I should of ordered more during the kickstarter.)

The Genesys Project HeroPlay and Events


The Genesys Project is a game where you can create your own army, its rules, weapons, and powers. Progressing your faction through the three Ages of Genesys during campaign play is a lot of fun, but there is something we have not talked about yet openly to everyone. The single missing element are those major events in history that can really turn things around or spell doom for your race. These are Events.

What's On Your Table: Dusting Off Some Chaos Marines

What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics to natfka@live.com

Digging out and dusting off the chaos army I haven't really worked on since 5th edition.

Ever wonder why is there not a chaos variant Land Raider?  What I wouldn't do for a Landraider that can take both Typhus AND a 5 man unit of terminators?  Personally I would give it the ability to swap out the twin lascannons for either hades auto-cannons or ecto-plasma cannons.

What's On Your Table: Perturabo, Iron Warriors

What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics to natfka@live.com

Here's my Perturabo, for my Iron Warriors. First time painting a forgeworld character, learnt lots and first time attempting some kind of weathering. Typhus Corrosion and Ryza Rust are the MVPs here! Thanks:)

Create a Faction Contest: Community Favorite


It's been a while, and I have had the chance to get many of these races in front in in-house playtesters and a couple on the on the gaming tables. There are a lot of very fun and exciting factions that were created with the contest, and narrowing it down to just a few is where we are at right now.



In the latest newsletter from Warlord Games they reveal some sneak peaks of what is coming in 2017. It looks like its going to be a good year, adn the Test of Honour Samurai Game looks promising!

Ep 176 Combat Phase podcast - Reflections on a Decade of Horus Heresy w/22 authors

This massive episode is over 8 hours long, but SO WORTH IT! Below are the guests in order and at least one form of contact information to follow further (more given in the interview).

Canoness Veridyan Letters from GW


The Canoness Veridyan model is currently out of stock, and those that got them had to be quick to get in their orders when they went up. Apparently some early people that got their orders in almost immediately are still are not getting their Canoness yet. I think at this point any Sisters of Battle models are going to be extremely popular.
