Dawn of War III ► Elites Units *UPDATED*


Revisiting the Elite units in Dawn of War 3 as a new batch was added when the game went live, just like my previous video on the subject (link in description) I want to show them off and give you information surrounding them. Would love to know what you think about them, has anyone played with any or has a favorite so far? Hope you enjoy the video!




New 8th Edition Teaser: "We have bred new warriors for this Darkest of Ages"


Wow, if this doesnt give us a big teaser of what is to come, I dont know what will. Really cool new teaser called Warhammer 40,000: New Heroes for a Dark Imperium

"We have bred new warriors for this Darkest of Ages"

UK Games Expo Seminar... "The New Warhammer 40k"


This was just sent in and reveals that there is a seminar coming up that ties into the release dates of the new edition of 40k. This mostly just helps us solidify the rumors of the release date until we get a more official release date from GW.

8th Edition Shooting Phase Revealed



Shooting has some cool new modifiers to it now in the new edition of 40k, and the Warhammer Community is here to share it all with us.

The New Breed of Space Marine


Guilliman has come back and the rumors are that he will be creating the new breed of Space Marine. Here are a few tidbits that have floated in.

Tomorrow is the last Day: Create a Faction Contest


Time to get your last minute entries in for the Create a Faction Contest. There has been several unique entries for the Genesys Project's new Domain, The Fey, that really show off just how diverse the new Fey factions can be.

The Create a Faction Contest ends on the last minute of the month May 30th at midnight pacific standard time.

8th Edition Galaxy Map and Trouble Spots


With warp storms everywhere, missing locations (some were said to be by mistake), the new 8th edition Galaxy map is looking sharp. Today the Warhammer Community takes a moment to take a brief look at it picking out Armageddon as one of those hot spots for the new edition.

The map above was from a week or so ago, while new images are below.

Age of Sigmar Skirmish: Pic from the New White Dwarf

What's On Your Table: Thousand Sons



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

I just wanted to share my recently finished Thousand Sons Khenetai Occult Blade Cabal led by a Legion Centurion. The Blade Cabal is out of Horus Heresy: Inferno and don't have models yet available so I decided to kitbash my own. It took a while to find all the pieces and in the end I think I have bits from at least five or six separate kits. Overall I'm very pleased with how they turned out. I hope you and your readers think so too.

The New Osiron Pattern Dreadnought



Wow, the new Osiron Pattern Contemptor is beautiful. I don't think Ive said that before in all these years about a model, and this could literally be the first time I want to start an army because of how cool and how much I like a single model.

Eternal Crusade - Elite Classes are here



New update has deployed on the battlefield, we have our first of four elite classes! Also we have a brand new world map to deploy from. This patch also saw balance updates and a lot of bug fixes.

8th Edition Starter Set Date/Contents/Price + Codex Layouts with Relics, Warlord Traits, and Formations


The new starter set is Death Guard vs Ultramarines and is coming on June 17th. We dont quite yet have a model count, but it looks like there is going to be quite a bit in the box. Also below we are being told that we will get to choose our Warlord Traits and Psychic Powers.... nice.

8th Edition Release Date and Beyond Information! + Spoilers....



This is an awesome set of details on the release schedule, what it will look like, and a lot more. A huge break for us to get a look ahead like this. Literally awesome, and its going to be a fun month of May of June!!!!

40k 8th Edition Psychic Phase and Mortal Wounds


The Psychic Phase was one area I was really looking forward to changes in..... and here it is. Also mortal wounds.... that break through Invulnerable saves (which we also know now are in)

Elysium Drop Troopers Going Away?: Details From Forgeworld


The Elysium Drop Troopers are being reviewed and combined into sets according the information I've received from the Community. We have a couple different reports on exactly Forgeworld has been saying, so check it out.,

Ep 193 Combat Phase podcast - 8th ed, Warlord w/David Annandale & Painting Gold w/Myles of Lil' Legend Studios

The no-longer-cursed episode appears! Though we are working on getting back our usual recording software we had to redo this episode due to a horrible glitch in the replacement software. Trust us, this was a tedious yet kind move. :) We talk news, hobby, games played and then have 3 segments. 1st we look at the release of info on 40K 8th ed with the daily info drops since Saturday and give our (very excited!) thoughts.

New Models Coming for Konflict 47'


There is a whole new line up of models coming for Konflict 47'

Could Elysium Drop Troopers Being Going Away for Good


It appears there is going to be a review of the Elysium Drop Troopers model line up on Forgeworld. This would mean that many models could be replaced with new ones and some may vanish for good.

I did not see the facebook post, and if you have it, send me a quick pic and we can add it here.

Dawn of War III ► Campaign (Space Marine & Ork Part One)



First part of my new series of LET'S PLAY Dawn of War 3! Since this was a special launch event this part of the series was streamed live! The follow ups will not be, just uploaded to my channel! Hope you all enjoy the stream and also enjoy the video!

Iron Hills Chariot from Forgeworld


Forgeworld just does Dwarves right. Another amazing model, that I would love to see from some different angles. (close ups of that chariot wagon)

Release Date for 8th Edition 40k.. Plus Starter Set is with Deathguard


The release date cannot be too far off with GW releasing new information on the edition on a daily basis, but we have not really had a solid date to expect it's release. Mini Wars has a release date up that right now should be taken as rumor.

New Show-Only Models This Year



Ive been playing a ton of Dropfleet Command lately, and of course Dropzone Commander is still a great game. Today we are looking new show only models being released by Hawk Wargames for both games. 

Show only models from Hawk Wargames are variant models to existing classes of ships and other models. These are very cool, and if you can't get to one, you are not missing out on game play. 

Dawn of War III has been Released!



I got to play the beta briefly, and now the game is live! Time to dig in, and get going with the full version of the game. Imperial Knights are a ton of fun.

Being Able to Fall Back out of Close Combat and more on Movement in 8th Edition 40k



Today the Warhammer Community is talking movement for the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. Having a movement stat will greatly add some variance to each army and is a great new feature for 40k,(at least for a lot of players that did not play early editions)

Customer Service Overloaded

It makes sense with a new edition on the horizon that Customer Service is a little overwhelmed over at Games Workshop. GW sent this message along on Facebook.

Rumor Engine Teaser for this Week


With all the 8th Edition talk Ive been wrapped up in, I literally missed the Rumor Engine Teaser today.

New Teaser for 40k 8th Edition



8th Edition promises to move our storyline further ahead, and most of all, bring back the real bad guys of the galaxy, Chaos to the forefront of the game again. This is long over due, and the battle between Chaos and the Imperium is what 40k is truly about.

Id imagine in the coming days, we will get a lot more intel on this.......

Thunderlords: Create a Faction


Something unique for the Fey Create a Faction contest today is a Humanoid cross-over race using Forbidden Knowledge. Cross over factions are those that use multiple Domain Books, creating opportunities for you to advance your faction using a combination of books (like humanoids and fey).

A race of Giant/Gods dedicated to War and Combat.
Therefore remember, distant peal of thunder may not just be arriving storm. It could mean Thunderlords march to war!

8th Edition 40k Ranged Weapons: Flamer, Bolter, and Lascannon


Weapon Damage is next up for the new 8th Edition 40k. Now we get a chance to really see the new ranged weapons and how they will work with flamers, lascannons, and a bold gun.

Some 8th Edition Info: Close Combat, Cover and More


A little bit more information has made its way out to the blogosphere about how 8th edition is handling melee combat, cover, and a few more answers to our questions.

What's On Your Table: Chaos Titan Terror


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

I just finished the Warhound to go with my Reaver.  The Reaver was previously included the background of one pic I had submitted of my Chaos walkers, but I included more pics to go with the Warhound.  The Warhound has more detail & as a result was more difficult to paint & also assemble.  The sheer bulk of the Reaver made for easier drilling & pinning.

Again Heroic Intervention hits the latest topics with the 8th Edition.

New 40k Profiles and What They Look Like


There are some big changes in here, including standard to hit rolls for both WS and BS. Interesting. Also of great interest is that you can see the toughness and strength stats of a few units, and see how many wounds we will have to be dealing with.

Pricing with this Week's Releases


Earlier today we had this list, but now we have some pricing to go along with them.

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

      Following on from my pictures of the new Rubric Marines, Scarab Terminators, Sorcerors, etc. that you were kind enough to share, I thought you might like to see these, from about 10,000 years earlier.  They are mostly from the two HH boxed games, but with some bits from the old Thousand Sons upgrade pack and some left overs from the new kits.  I hope you like them.

Games Workshops Big Announcement "Not Generals Handbook II"


So I have been informed the announcement tomorrow is not about the Generals Handbook II. Not much else beyond that, but that to not get your hopes up for the new Generals Handbook.

The Rebel Forge: Create a Faction


Today we have another fun faction for the Genesys Project. This one was created by a veteran, having created factions for the previous Humanoid Create a Faction contest. This is a good one to look at if you have having a hard time making a faction, as he goes into the a lot of detail on the Rebel Forge and what they are like and lays them out in his own way. So with that in mind, I included his entire submission which includes his own forms as well as the standard ones we use from Reverie Games so that you can see how this army would look, and possibly in the future as he campaigns with it.

Big News Announcement Coming from Warhammer Community


Hey, look at that. Something big is going to be announced tomorrow. From the Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40k Facebook page. Guesses? Educated Guesses?

Space Wolves Contemptor Dreadnought + Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm on Elk
