I'll be honest: I have very little interest in Warhammer: The Old World. I didn't ever really get into Warhammer Fantasy Battles except for a small Empire army, and I was taking a hiatus from wargaming during the End Times and therefore missed out on The Big Disappointment.
And so as Games Workshop has been…
Space Marine tactics, legion by legion, are a vital core to understanding how to play Warhammer 40k. In the vast, tumultuous galaxy of Warhammer 40k, the Adeptus Astartes – better known as the Space Marines – stand as the Emperor's indomitable warriors. Each chapter of these genetically enhanced super-soldiers boasts distinct tactics and combat doctrines,…
The question of whether Warhammer and Warhammer 40k are connected has been around since Warhammer 40k first emerged. And, in the beginning, it really looked like they were. Space Orks, Space Elves, Space Dwarves. But lore and canon have changed.
The answer is really simple: No, Warhammer and Warhammer 40k are not connected. Which is…
So the NOVA Open reveals have come, and with it has a ton of new models from Games Workshop. And honestly it was one of the better reveal shows that I've seen from Games Workshop even if the actual models weren't my favorite. One problem that Games Workshop has with these reveal shows is that…

(All of the photos in this article about Warhammer 40k tactics for beginners come from the Warhammer+ battle report for the Leviathan release.)
Welcome to the grim and dark universe of Warhammer 40K, a miniature wargame of epic battles where strategic acumen is just as important as the might of your assembled forces. As a…
Let's talk about miniature wargaming obsession. A designer friend of mine I’ve known since the first day of ninth grade came up with a slogan: “Too Much is the New Enough.” It used to be good enough to have, well, enough. But now we have to have more. In fact, we have to have TOO…

Ever led a bunch of Tomb Kings into a "Warhammer Fantasy" clash, or took command of a hardcore squad of Space Marines in "Warhammer 40k"? Yup, that's miniature wargaming for you, all thanks to the guys at Games Workshop. But, have you ever pondered how…
