Blood Bowl: Chaos Dwarf team!

 Hi all

This has been a really exciting release for us, especially Phil (@engine_phil) who has always had a soft spot for Dwarves with big hats.

So we were fortunate enough to receive most of the Chaos Dwarf team for review. Have a look below.

The Team look absolutely fantastic and up to date. The hats actually look good too! 


The markers look brilliant too. Phil has painted the lava effect fantastically well.




Zzharg Madeye looks brilliant too. His beard is really well textured, and we think the cannon firing effect is great.

The Blood Bowl pitch itself is brilliant. It is set on an active volcano! So as you can imagine, it can get quite hot tempered on the pitch.




The Choas Dwarf Bull Centaurs are fantastic kits too (cast in Forge World Resin for extra great detail). 






We hope to get a game in with them some time soon. so check back regularly!

Space Marine VR - Defenders of Avarax review. WE PLAYED THE PRE-RELEASE PILOT!

 Hi all

Its one of those things that you have always wanted to do since you were a kid: Fight in the Warhammer 40K universe in a horde survival mode against Tyranids, whilst donned in the finest Space Marine Power Armour. . . . Now you can!


We were fortunate enough to get early access to the Space Marine 2 Defenders of Avarax free roaming VR Shooter yesterday, and it was incredible! Massive shout out to the Zero Latency VR company for doing such a good job.


Before we went in Rob lead us in a prayer to the God Emperor:

I have been to Zero Latency before and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The equipment is good and very reactive.



Unfortunately as it was Pre-Release we were not able to get any footage or stills of our experience, but it was phenomenal. The setting was great and as vast as any Warhammer Artwork you may see.

The Bolt Rifle was just perfect too. It fired at just the right rate to feel deadly, None of this 10 shots on full auto to down a Hybrid malarkey like in Deathwing. A single shell is enough to kill a Hormagaunt :)

There was even a train!

We won't spoil too much but lets just say it was a great experience and we sincerely hope they make a second part so you can play for another 30 minutes off the back of it.

We went to the Birmingham site which only allows 6 people to play instead of the 8 that you can have in London or Nottingham, but it was perfect. We went with some proper VR virgins too, as well as 2 people who often get migraines from sitting down whilst gaming in VR, but due to the freeroam nature no one was sick and the noobs quickly picked it up with no issues.

Just look at the happy faces below!!



The Graphics were great as you can expect, and the movement of the Space Marines as well as that of those you game with, was phenominal.

The Power Armour is not just standard factory stamped Power Armour either. Each Marine had extra detailing, from ropes on the chest, chains across armour sections, Purity seals and one even had a MK6 Studded shoulder pad.

We will be going back for a second visit asap!

Kill Team: Hivestorm review and unboxing video

 Hi all

We were fortunate to get a copy of the new Kill Team Hivestorm game. Its a great new edition and I am very grateful to see the back of the Shapes which apprear on the measuring devices. Inches will do fine :)

The tokens themselves are also a lot more user friendly. You can leave the toke in place until the target model has finished its whole activation. If it can't complete the action for some reason, you can reset it back to where it was really easily this way.







The scenery in the box is probably the best content since Chalnath's box. It is all you would ever need to play through this new season of Kill Team and can be used on most other Warhammer 40K boards. Our terrain was painted by our contributor Fish (@the_viking_fish). 


There is tons in this new box. Have a look at the unboxing video here:



The new Universal assets are great bits of equipment too. My favourites are the Barbed wire and the Ladders which have been designed so well.

1" , 2,", 3" and good ol' 6". No more shapes!!


The tall barricade piece of cover and ladder in action.

We decided to also film a Necromunda game on the new board:

Necromunda Hive Secondus: Orrus Spyre Hunter and Van Saar Tek Hunter gang

 Hi all

So today we look at the new Tek Hunter Gang and Orrus Spyre Hunter from Necromunda Secondus.

Baroness Alita Helmawr.

Baroness Alita Helmawr


I utilised Greenstuff World's Colourshift paint Pinky Blue for this model. I think it has come out really well.

I then used Greenstuff World's Chrome for claws and Hydraulics (because lets face it, it is a really well maintained /sought after suit).

I went for Volkites for this model, but made sure I just blu tac'd them on.

Its a damn great gang.


We went for a dark grey scheme with blue eyes, orange pipes and light grey stripes.


You can see more of this gang on Matt's Instagram @Battle_Bunnies_Drake_Seta and the Battle Bunnies Tik Tok.



Also, don't forget to see it in action on our YouTube channel where we did a battle report.

Necromunda Hive Secondus: Battle Report and box review!

 Hi all

We are continuing our Necromunda Hive Secondus content with a Battle Report today! So we pitted the new Orrus Spyer hunter Alita Helmawr in her snazzy Colourshift rig, against a Malstrain gang.

We also shared our views on the new box at the end too!

To summarise though.

  • The game is excellent. The rules really complement the setting.
  • The campaign in the book looks like a great thing to run through, so we are hoping to dip back into this over the next few months when we have some spare time.
  • The new Malstrain gang is just a fantastic looking set of minis.
  • The Spyer Hunters are brilliant to play with. Double activations in a turn makes them fantastic (but a Malstrain Genestealer can still eat them).

Hope you enjoy. It is likely there will be more Necromunda Hive Secondus content coming soon, so please like and subscribe.

Skaventide - The good guys return'd

 Hi all

The grim warriors of the Ruination Chamber have been unleashed! 

Painted by Rob Caldicott (@the_gory_crow). Rob C. decided to paint them in a dark green and red scheme. He felt the models were very dynamic, and that they would go very well on a diorama scene!


Its great that the Skaven are not the only great new models in the new Skaventide box.

The Stormcast gather around the relic and face on the onrushing Skaven!

That time is now, and he was sooooo happy to get his claws on them!

Skaventide is out soon!!

Rob decided to add a big old scenic base for this great model.

Lots of Verdigris!


Rat Ogors:

More fantastic sculpts!

Clanrats
We have needed these for sooooo long! They look brilliant.

Warplock Jezzails


The Jezzails with their new Rifles really fit in with the aesthetic of the new range!
