This Month in Warhammer History – Nov. 2012
Hi All,I think it is important, and helpful, to remember how the 40k/Sigmar/WHFB hobby has changed over the years. It can be surprising to learn just how old some sculpts are (the current Dark Eldar Venom model would be in 6th grade right now if it were a child, and it still holds up! )…
