The voting is open for the best Warhammer model of 2023 (you can vote here). The thing that I was surprised by, when I looked at the voting, was the sheer number of models that have been released in 2023. I have no idea how many sculptors they have at Games Workshop, but when you…
Some of you have commented that there has been a drop off in articles over the last few weeks, but in reality it's been the last few months, and I feel like I just need to rip off the Band-Aid and explain what's going on--it's catatonia.
As I have mentioned before, I suffer from a…
It's the Christmas season, and even though you may have done a bunch of shopping around Black Friday, if you're like me you still have a lot to do--that's where this Christmas wargame gift list comes in.
While I have posted affiliate links to these products (I've gots to pay the bills) know that I'm…
I am a sucker for these Warhammer Preview hype shows and I look forward to them eagerly. This time around I didn't know what to expect except I had seen the leaks about the Deathwing Knights and I figured that we were going to need to see some Tomb Kings if The Old World is…
I am thrilled to announced that I am having a wargame retreat, the First Annual Convocation of the Wargame Explorer's Society, in the summer of 2024.
The retreat will be a week long, from June 9th to June 15th, in sunny Salt Lake City, Utah. We've rented a great big house with a ton of…
After my failure to make it all the way to Hobby Streak Day 1000, I am proud to now be back up to Day 100. And this hobby streak report is a little different than some of the recent ones. Here I undertook a project for the holidays, as well as started playing a couple…
Who Is The Wargame Explorer?
Hi! I'm Robison Wells, the Wargame Explorer. I have been running this website (with a little help from a handful of freelance writers) since May of 2021. But unless you've been to the About page, there's a good chance that you don't know much about me, what I do, or…
Picture this: you're surrounded by fellow enthusiasts in a serene escape from the everyday hustle, your favorite miniatures poised for battle. A wargame retreat promises just that—a fusion of intense strategy and relaxation where Warhammer, Age of Sigmar, and Bolt Action come to life.
But how do you ensure that you're not just rolling…
There are a lot of problems with miniature wargaming if you are to get most of your news from the internet. (Which, it should be said, I think we all do.) Games Workshop has a horrible website. Angry Tweets accuse people of being hobby tourists. Paints don't work right. Models cost too much. Prints fail.…
The Warhammer 40k Christmas boxes for 2023 have been revealed and there's some really great boxes (depending on what you're interested in) but which boxes offer the best value? As always, these kinds of things are dependent on whether you would really be buying all of the models in the Christmas boxes separately, but if…
