One of the more interesting things to watch unfold is to see how GW has tried to develop the lore of Age of Sigmar. In the seven years since its release GW has tried to fill out the shell of its world through a staggering amount of development of its key characters. They have introduced…

Hi All, Steve from Holy Havoc was kind enough to come back and give a wrap up interview about how the event went! 1. So how did the story go! What was the epic conclusion of the narrative? SH: Better than 40% of the 30 teams were able to have their Warlord of Havoc ascend…
Narrative (Mini) Review – Soulblight Gravelords
Hi all,It’s time for our weekly review of the Age of Sigmar Path to Glory rules. Today we will be examining the Soulblight Gravelords.

Reflections on the Demise of the Cursed City Game
With the announcement of the release of the final Cursed City expansion going up for order this weekend we can finally start to assess this game. Released to a lot of fanfare in 2021 it now appears GW is giving up on the game. In many ways this is an odd event. Other boxed games…

Is any unit ever truly gone?
As with many other players I eagerly applauded the re-release of the Rough Rider models by GW. I was a bit surprised to see them focused on the Attilans (who knows if a more generic kit will also be available). It does get me thinking about several other units and types of units that have…
Narrative (Mini)Review – Cities of Sigmar
Hi all,Today we are looking at the short, White Dwarf Path to Glory rules for the Cities of Sigmar (CoS). I can’t believe these rules have been out so long, has 3rd ed. of Sigmar really been out for over a year? Army Ability and Quest: As this was a fairly early release the CoS…
