Jon's Tomb Kings of the Woods

It's no secret that I'm a fan of the Tomb Kings, but what I'm an even bigger fan of are cool Tomb Kings counts as armies and conversions. Jon has absolutely nailed that here with his Tomb Kings army using Sylvaneth rules. Every unit is a characterful conversion and the overall effect is amazing.

Warploque Miniatures: The Forest Troll and Interview

Warploque Miniatures has always been on my radar with their unique style and characterful hand sculpted models, but it wasn't until recently that I finally painted one.

I also was able to get in a quick interview with the man behind the sculpts, Alex himself!

Guy Haley is one of the most prolific writers at Black Library and his novels are consistently some of the best ones out there. Dante surprised me with the unique way it handled a Space Marine story, giving us something that stands out from all of the other 40k novels out there. This was followed up with The Devastation of Baal, a sequel that succeeds in continuing the story while also covering one of the most pivotal moments in the new 40k narrative. Today, Guy talks to us about everything Blood Angels, 40k, and even the Mortal Realms!

REVIEW: Black Rift

The Age of Sigmar novels have been coming out at breakneck speeds, which is great for everyone wanting to immerse themselves in the lore. One of the latest is Black Rift by Josh Reynolds, focusing on the classic match up of the Stormcast versus the Bloodbound. What could have been a rather cut and dry story ended up being one of my favorite books for AoS so far.

INTERVIEW: Ash from Guerrilla Miniature Games

Battle reports were always one of my favorite parts of the old White Dwarfs and I definitely feel their absence in the current issues. Luckily there are a multitude of Youtube channels out there now that do video battle reports, so you can watch the games unfold instead of just reading about it. My favorite channel, and in my opinion, one of the best out there, is Guerrilla Miniature Games. Recently I was able to get Ash, the creator and host of the channel, to do a small interview for the site and talk about the behind the scenes aspects of running a daily tabletop gaming channel.
