These true children of Chaos have long been a staple of the Warhammer universe, and in my opinion are one of the coolest looking armies.

REVIEW: Arks of Omen - Grand Tournament Mission Pack (From an AoS Perspective)

Although I started out this hobby by playing 40k back in the mists of time known as 3rd edition, I've been primarily an AoS player for the last few years. Since 9th edition launched I've been slowly dipping my toe back into gaming on the 40k side and went to my first tournament this past Fall using the Nephilim book. Now a new Grand Tournament Mission Pack is upon us, with changes to how the Matched Play version of the game is played. Instead of a standard review of the book, I'm going to instead look at it through the lens of an AoS player. So, what does the Arks of Omen pack contain?

REVIEW: Arks of Omen - Abaddon

So what does this book contain within its damned covers and what evils does it portend for the Imperium of Man?

Gray Matter Gaming Mats and Magnet Trays Review

I'm a big fan of local businesses, so when Gray Matter Gaming, based out of Metro Detroit in Michigan, asked me if I would like to take a look at their battle mats and movement trays I couldn't pass up the opportunity. This company took two staples of modern gaming and put their own spin on them to introduce elements to increase the ease of use by the average gamer. So how do they stack up against the competition?

REVIEW: Redgrass Games V2 Wet Palette

Why You Should Collect and Play: Ogor Mawtribes

With the release of the new Ogor Mawtribes book I decided I would take a new approach at covering it on my Mengel Miniatures. Since I caught the Ogor bug myself with this release and started my own army of them, I figured why not cover the reasons to collect and paint them?

REVIEW: Citadel Tools

While we all love our miniatures, we sometimes forget about the importance of the tools we use to assemble them. Where would our stalwart Space Marines be without the clippers and knives used to put them together? Games Workshop has refreshed their own line of hobby tools to help you accomplish just that, so let's take a look at them!

REVIEW: Sons of Behemat - The Lore

There's more to the Sons of Behemat than just some fancy new rules though, they have fancy new lore too! Being a rather new addition to the setting, there's still tons of room to flesh out this gigantic army, and this new book definitely takes advantage of it. As much of a Death fan as I am, I always love Destruction lore because it's all just so much fun!

REVIEW: Disciples of Tzeentch Battletome 2022

The Magic of Micro Set and Micro Sol

This is a repost of an older article, but with the release of the Horus Heresy and the importance of transfers for all of those shoulder pads, I figured it was worth revisiting! Micro Set and Micro Sol really do make it 1,000,000,000 times easier to apply transfers to all of those rounded surfaces on Space Marines. So without further ado, take it away me from 2016!

REVIEW: The Horus Heresy - Age of Darkness
