The Adepticon 2024 Warhammer reveal show was last night, and it was a hot mess. There was some very cool stuff, and there was some very mediocre stuff, and all of it was wrapped up in a bundle of a ton of unnecessary talking. Overall review: Not Enough Models, Please Shut Up.
I don't know…
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…
If you're a tabletop gaming enthusiast looking for a new game to sink your teeth into, Necromunda is definitely worth checking out. Set in the dark and dangerous Underhive of the Hive City of Necromunda, this tabletop miniature wargame offers a thrilling and immersive experience that combines strategy, skill, and luck in equal measure.

I have been painting everyday in accordance with the Hobby Streak, but I have been very bad about posting my progress. This has been in part because I have been in-between projects, and in part because I've not wanted to post pictures of things until they're done. I KNOW this is against the point of…

Finally! After a lackluster couple of days we got a bunch of announcements that were almost entirely great. Even the least of them was good (if unnecessary).

Will There Be Any Big Surprises? I'm Not Sure
I'm looking forward to WarhammerFest this year for two reasons. The first is because I'm always excited to see new products and games, but the second is because WarhammerFest 2022 will mark the one-year anniversary of The Wargame Explorer. WarhammerFest 2021 was the first thing this…

UPDATE: SQUATS ARE BACK—FOR REAL!
So it wasn't an April Fool's Day joke after all. Squats are back! But I don't know what form they're going to be taking. The trailer looked very Space Hulk and the outfit of the Squat that they showed looks much more like a space suit than the traditional Squat…
There has been a lot of talk about Games Workshops FOMO strategy for new product releases. Not only have they been doing this strategy for several years, but it seems to be accelerating: more products coming faster--and disappearing faster. Hence the fear of missing out.
Why does Games Workshop's FOMO strategy work? The…
