INTERVIEW: Gav Thorpe on Dark Angels


I recently finished reading the Legacy of Caliban trilogy by Gav Thorpe and I knew I had to try and pick his brain a bit about some of the world altering events that occurred in it.

If you haven't read it yet and don't want to have the surprises ruined for you then turn back now, otherwise, welcome to the secrets of the inner circle.

GALLERY & TUTORIAL: Imperial Fist Cataphracti Terminator


Having a Tactical Marine under my belt I figured it was a good idea to tackle one of the other model types in the Betrayal at Calth boxset. After debating between one of the characters, the contemptor or the cataphracti, the terminator won out in the end.

GALLERY: Heresy-Era Imperial Fist


As soon as I got the Betrayal at Calth boxset I started thinking about what legion I would paint it as. I went through several options, World Eaters, Word Bearers, Ultramarines, even adding the models into my Astral Claws. In the end though I decided to do the 7th legion, the Imperial Fists.

The Horus Heresy: Betrayal at Calth - Gameplay Review


As soon as I got the new boxed game I knew I wanted to try out the gameplay itself. A lot of people are understandably excited about the miniatures, which I am too, but GW also produces some great board games. So with some proxy forces and my friend Adam in tow we played through the first two scenarios.

GALLERY: Bushido Commission



This guy was the second part of a commission for me and was a little out of my normal repertoire being non Warhammer. While I was a little unsure of it at first, I ended up really enjoying it. I got to try a few colors and techniques I don't normally do, which is always a plus as a painter.

REVIEW: Ghal Maraz


Ghal Maraz is the second novel in the Realmgate Wars series, and just like it's predecessor it acts as a companion pieces to a campaign book, this time The Quest for Ghal Maraz. Composed of two novellas it carries on the stories from the first book and brings them to their conclusions. So how does the second installment fare?
