REVEAL SHOW: Warhammer Games: How were out Guesses? - Games Workshop and Totally Pawsome

Hail Mighty Readers, Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks, 

Well with last nights show, lets see how we managed to do with our guesses for the various grafitti shots, what we're going to do is give ourselves 1/2 point if we got the faction right, and half a point if we got what was released.  So this is how it worked out for us:


Game: Horus Heresy

Faction: Adeptus Custodes

Points:

Yep, we got Horus Heresy and Adeptus Custodes right for this, however what was shown were new Adeptus Custodes Terminator type of warriors.  Also they've announced that you'll be getting less miniatures for your points, so its going to be interesting to see how exactly it'll work out in the long run.  In addition these are also fully useable for 40K too.  
Points = 1
Total= 1 point




Game: Kill Team

Faction: Legion of the Damned

Reason:

Yep we got this one 100% right, Legion of the Damned Kill Team box set.  Whilst we were hoping for new sculpts these look a lot like the ones from 2nd/3rd edition.  We were hoping for a more supernatural look to them but sadly that was not happening.  Also its a big return to land of the beakies with the helms.  We're going to be building our own Legion of the Damned Supernatural mini's as and when we can afford to get the extra accessories.

Points= 1

Total= 2




Game: Warhammer Quest

Faction:  Orruks

Reason:  Ok we completely messed this one out, the image pertains to Blood Bowl and whilst its a Goblin and Squig Team that looks fab its not one we're going to be after personally.

What did come out for Warhammer Quest was some new heroes to battle the forces of Nurgle.  These will be released as a set which is Agents of Azur, which includes a Safiya Ashcross who is a Witch Hunter, Caul Durnan is a Wildecorps Sharpshooter, Brother Belias who's a battle-priest, and  Ignus Sharn who is a Bright Wizard.

Points= 0

Total= 2


Game: Space Marine 2

Faction:  -

Reason:

Another one where we were completely wrong, this pertains to the Warhammer Plus series Astartes, of which we are now getting a second season.

Yet again another bit 0 for us.

Points= 0


Total= 2



Game: Warhammer Old World

Faction:  Tomb Kings of Khemri

Reason:

Yep we got this a hundred percent correct, brand new miniatures for the Tomb Kings, with new chariots, archers and warriors.  All are Khemri themed which I do feel is a little bit of a let down when you could have taken an older flavour from others who may have wondered into the lands on their own quest.

Points= 1

Total= 3


Game: Necromunda

Faction:  Imperial Guard

Reason:

Yes to Necromunda, no to the Imperial Guard, it was Escher Assassin, Orlock Gunslinger, Squat Fixer, and Goliath Champion, but it feels like this one is more designed as a new Warhammer Quest/RPG.  It does look pretty good to us and with a ton of foes to gun down on your adventure, its going to be a real treat to play.  We can't wait

Points= 1/2

Total= 31/2


Game: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

Faction:  Khazalite Holds

Reason:

Yet again 100 % right, ton of really fab miniatures that not only includes an absolute ton of warriors but good representation across both genders making the all super thicc.  Our personal favourite is the new throne diorama, with the King sailing through the landscape.  Another must have for us.  Plus if you already have the other Duardin that are out (the Fyreslayers) they too can be added to this force.  Really happy about this, and some new characters too.

Points= 1

Total= 41/2


Finally the one big thing we didn't notice was the new paint range that had been snuck in as a bit of an easter egg, they do look really good and at the end of the day if they do half of what is promised (especially with the tougher colours to get saturation with such as yellow), there's going to be a ton of very happy people.

So when we add it up, out of 8 full points (as we're including the paint range reveal) we came out with 4 and a half.  Not great but reasonable.  How did you do?  


All the best,


ThunderMouser

 


NEWS: New Short Story and Extra World History - Malediction




Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks,

Malediction have sent out a fab update including a short story to help whet your appetite to enter the world and for additional extra world flavour, don't forget to check out the World History additions


Here we let them explain everything in their own words:

Short Story

Our new short story, The Gaze of Molech, is live now.

Written by New York Times bestselling author Cavan Scott, it brings back a familiar face from By Shield or by Sword and turns toward the Conclave of the Spheres, where ambition, loyalty, and mastery all demand a price. We'll leave the rest for you to discover.

Alongside it, two new lore articles expand the world beyond the battlefield, from a dangerous exchange of letters to four places shaping life across Selejia.

You can read it here.


Additional World History:

The Malediction may define an age, but most people in Selejia will never step beyond the Wall of Galdrun.

Journey through Sanctorum, the Moonstruck Hills, Drav, and the Gardens of Neverlight four places shaped by pilgrimage, spectacle, sacred ground, dangerous ambition, and disasters that refuse to stay contained.

Together, they reveal a continent with rivalries, wonders, and horrors of its own far beyond the expeditions entering the Malediction.

If you've been waiting for another reason to go deeper into this world, start here.


Call of the Husk:

Some discoveries should remain buried.

Fragments recovered from the remains of a Poldarian Husk reveal correspondence between two scholars and an obsession that should've gone unanswered.

Call of the Husk adds another dangerous thread to Selejia’s history, revealing how curiosity, doctrine, and ambition can make the dead far from silent.


All the best,

MONTHLY MINIATURES UPDATE: What Sovereign Tier gets you with Blood Tribes: Furiann Raiders - Heroes Infinite and Raging Hereos

 





Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Maths Rocks,

Heroes Infinite have just sent a new video of all the extra miniatures that you get when you sign up for their Sovereign Tier.

And whilst we always go for the sovereign tier ourselves, we wanted to let you know what it brings, all for an extra $8 over the lowest tier.


Firstly you double the amount of miniatures that you get. For example, newly posed heroes like Skathi Blood-Scythe, the Executioner, the Sorceress reborn as a Champion wielding a heavy weapon, with a faithful raven of ill omen at her side.

Or the deliciously dark Valka Stormsinger, who whilst originally released a few years ago, as part of the Celtic series is reimagined and posed to work wonderfully well for the Blood Tribes series. (Pictured below.)


But thats not all, they have also created extra troops for your battlefield, which is best left to their own words: "Naturally, the units from this month's release all get their reinforcements. Then, to go further, we went back to the original Blood Tribes release. The Doom Hounds, those bloodthirsty supernatural hounds, now number ten. That should be enough to make any battle line think twice. The Oriniax from that same release are back too, and this time they're ridden by archers, giving you a whole new cavalry variant for your forces. We also dug out our Celtic warrior troops and gave them a full makeover, turning them into the Blood-Skorn Huntresses, a band of Blood Tribes scouts. And finally, we built something entirely from scratch: a brand-new unit of shock warriors, the Furiann Juggernauts. An elite troop armed with large axes, to give your close-combat forces even more bite."

As usual we wanted to also remind you of the other tiers and their cost so you can make your choice if these miniatures have tickled your fancy.

As usual there are three price tiers and this is what you get under the Leader Tier ($10)

9-10 Heroes
3 Dynamic Troopers
1 Epic Centerpiece
14+ Scenic Bases
2 Monsters

Whereas if you take out the Overlord Tier ($16) you will get in addition to the above:
Additional 15-20 new Troopers to create 5 different units
Exclusive alternative versions of Heroes and Monsters
Mind-boggingly extensive Modular / Scatter Terrain
Exclusive additional models for our Heroes Infinite Overlords, such as Mounted Heroes, Monsters, and more.


Finally there is Sovereign Tier ($24) where you'll also get:
Additional 15-20 new Troopers to create 5 different units
Exclusive alternative versions of Heroes and Monsters
Mind-boggingly extensive Modular / Scatter Terrain
Exclusive additional models for the Heroes Infinite Overlords,
such as Mounted Heroes, Monsters, and more.
And on top of this, you ALSO get 40+ models:
Additional 30-35 new Troopers to expand 6 existing units
Exclusive alternative versions of Heroes and Monsters
Exclusive additional models such as Mini Dioramas and more.
BONUS: Get special discounts up to 71% off past collections (until end of month)


And before we leave, there is also the addition of two diorama's that will not only challenge your painting skills but look fab when not in use on your shelves.  Just look at these fab two images to see what you get.  Firstly A Bad Day to Hunt, which features a band of little Goblins squaring up to a Gorekin Yeti, which is quite light hearted but if darkness is your jam, the second piece will be right up your alley.  The Judgement of the Hunt, where Queen Morrakha stands with her Bloodhounds as they savage an unfortunate female 0rc.







We hope you'll love these as much as we do.  The paint scheme we think is pretty cool and has definitely given us some idea's for something a little different for some of our own troops.  Can't wait to see what others do with them.  


All the best,


ThunderMouser



UNBOXING REVIEW: The Barons' War - Wargames Atlantic



Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Math Rocks,

We have been lucky enough to receive a review copy of The Barons' War by Wargames Atlantic.  As such we couldn't wait to bring you the unboxing video and have it ready to roll today for you especially.  We currently have other projects in the works for our own scenery (including painting a 3d printed Castle) for our troops to fight over and of course we are going to bring some mini features on how we painted our troops.

And now, without further ado, our video.  We hope you'll share it as we are working hard on trying to increase our online presence and would love to help others discover fab fun Wargames and TTRPG's alongside us.



We hope you enjoy the review and the chance for a good look at what secrets are held within and if you want to learn more please check our our interview with game designer Andy Hobday here.


Thank you,

NEWS: Warmachine: Pre-order and New Faction coming, Rules Reveal plus next years Lock and Load Europe Date/Location Announced - Steamforged Games




Hail Mighty Readers and Followers of the Luck Gods Rocks,

With Warmachine Tuesday and Wednesday, Steamforged Games, have given us a good few updates, one of which we're really excited for.  Here's what they had to say:


Europe Lock and Load 2027 Date Announced

Lock & Load EU is coming back, and we’ve got new dates! We’ve updated the dates for our next European Warmachine weekend, so mark your calendars for July 16–18, 2027. Three days of tournaments, events, hobby, lore, reveals and plenty of time to roll dice with the Warmachine community. We’ll have more details to share as we get closer, so keep your eyes peeled and start planning your trip to Lock & Load EU 2027!


The Gathering Darkness is available to pre-order.Harasheth and his followers are ready to descend upon the battlefield, bringing the Fane of Nyrro’s ancient eldritch horrors to life in a force built around attrition, dark magic and the rather unsettling idea that death is just another resource.

Harasheth feeds on the essence of friend and foe alike, dragging fallen warriors back into his service and turning every casualty into another opportunity to keep the pressure on. Check out the preview of how Harasheth plays.

Built for both Command and Skirmish games, The Gathering Darkness gives you a complete force to start exploring his brutal playstyle, while existing Fane players can add even more horrors to their collection.

The time for lurking in the shadows is over. Pre-order The Gathering Darkness now and get ready to unleash Harasheth’s forces when they arrive.

While Harasheth’s forces swarm the battlefield, someone else circles above...

Nymara the Shadowblade — Into the dark

The newest warcaster to join the Fane of Nyrro, Nymara the Shadowblade brings a deadly, warbeast-focused approach to the battlefield, and she is out now! She moves through the shadows with deadly precision, striking where her opponent least expects and turning the Fane’s terrifying creatures into weapons of sudden, brutal violence.

Whether you’re ready to follow Nymara into the darkness or simply want to know what makes the Shadowblade tick, there’s plenty more lurking beneath the surface. Discover how she hunts in her rule preview, then uncover the story behind the huntress in her Heroes and Villains lore

 

Thornfall Alliance — Doctor's orders

Dr Arkadius is back in the lab, and frankly, Emperor Carver should be keeping a tighter leash on the good doctor.

The new Thornfall Alliance Core Expansion brings the infamous doctor back alongside a suitably unhinged collection of farrow firepower, including Road Hog, Farrow Brigands, Commandos, Sapper and the brand-new Chainbelchers.

Dr Arkadius has spent plenty of time reshaping flesh and bone into weapons, and his latest experiments are ready to hit the battlefield. Road Hog tears ahead of the main force, torching fortifications and smashing anything that gets in its way, while Brigands bring reliable… ish firepower and stubborn frontline presence.

Then things get properly messy.

Splatter Boar deliver volatile alchemical bombardments into enemy lines, Commandos strike from unexpected angles, and the new Chainbelchers charge in tusk-first with mechanikal fists ready to turn anything unfortunate enough to be standing there into pulp.

And, naturally, there’s a Farrow Brigand Warlord to keep everyone vaguely pointed in the right direction. Available to pre-order now in all of their piggy glory. Don’t want to wait? Print your own at home with STLs available on Warmachine 3D, along with loads more Thornfall Alliance, and bring the Iron kingdoms to heel under the might of hoof and tusk.

It’s a lot of Farrow. It’s a lot of machinery. And it’s almost certainly a terrible idea.


Rules Reveal

Today, Steamforged Games announced the new rules for two of the Dusk Fane of Nyrro Army, the Styrge Abhorreth and Hysene the Executioner, .  To read the full article please go here.
