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…

Narrative Review – Leagues of Votann
Can you believe it’s been almost a month since my last 40k narrative review! Crazy! Today we are looking at the “I can’t believe it’s not Squats” army the Leagues of Votann (LoV). Army Specific Rules: It’s interesting to note that the LoV have a rule allowing Imperium players to take their units (up to…
To Secure the Future of Warhammer+ GW Must Lean on its Past
Warhammer+ has led a troubled life. Released over a year ago, it has struggled along as something of a half-finished product. It has a decent interface but not a lot of content. While GW has been slowly adding to the service, it has been at a glacial pace. Releases seem to be timed haphazardly and…
Age of Sigmar Narrative Interview – Holy Havoc Team Event
Hi all,Recently I was able to chat with one of the organizers (Steve) for the Holy Havoc event coming up this weekend in Illinois. What caught my eye about this event was that it is structured as a narrative team event. While life stuff has kept me from attending I wanted to reach out to…
What should GW do with Forge World
It’s Wednesday my dudes, and thus it’s time for a rambling article. I have long been interested in the role the Forge World plays in the GW portfolio. In years past it had a clear role providing high quality miniatures, of dubious in game ability, and spinning high-end campaign stories. Since the re-invention of 40k…
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…
New Astra Millitarum Codex – What should their Crusade Rules look like?
Hi All, As a long time guard player I am quite excited about the new codex release in the works. While all my models are third party, I still like the new miniatures and am excited to see how much more dynamic the army will look. The only thing I am more pumped for is…
Lord Paddington Recommends – Board games to play with your partner
Hi All,I wanted to take a break from some of my regular content to chat about a different topic that comes up frequently in my house. What are some good board games that work well for two people or a small group? Mt wife enjoys board games a lot (so much so I have tried…
40k Stoat’s Center – Where Have all the Cheaters Gone?
Hi all,One of the most profound differences in the tournament community discourse in 2021 vs 2022 has been issues of cheating. 2021 was a rather bleak year marred with a number of high-profile scandals. I won’t dredge them up again but it seemed every event had some issue. As Fig. 1 shows this precipitous decline…
