Deathwatch boxed game!! 08-12-15

With the recent release of the Betrayal at Calth boxed game from GW, I feel that there is a better than average chance that we will see a boxed game release in the near future based on the Deathwatch and also if the recent rumours have any validity then we maybe seeing the deathwatch verse a genestealer cult, with new plastic multi part hybrids a rerelease of the plastic tyranid brood lord, a new plastic patriarch and magus!!! :-)

As I've mentioned in a previous post that the marines will be based off the vertain sprues and the chapter upgrade sets, I am also hoping that any game associated with this release will be hex based like BAC. hears hoping. :-)

Good things ahead!!! 16-11-15

After getting my hands on the Wonderful box game Betrayal of Calth, it seems that there is only good things ahead, and also the surprise news that specialist games are returning so to me this is the best time to be in the hobby :-) . The way I see things the creating of the specialist games department and its integration with Forgeworld we will see the spaces that used to be reserved for LOTR and the Hobbit changed to be the specialty games section with all available specialist games and a selection  of forgeworld blisters. Also I thing if the specialist games become more and more popular then we may also see a specialist games magazine prob monthly, with experimental and expansions rules for games like Betrayal of Calth.

As I have said, good times ahead :-)

Remember Remember the 7th of November (What wait!!!!).

So finally GW have revelled that the Horus Heresy Boxset is coming November 14th, with special preview on the 7th November.


The blog post title will only make sense to my british readers as the original saying is 'remember remember the 5th of November a makes reference to Guy Fawkes and bonfire day in the uk, but I thougth it was a good call as the 7th will be remembered just as long as guy fawkes. :-) 

Psychic Tuesday 13-10-15 Battle of Sisters?

Over the past couple of years we have seen the emergence of 'bucket list style' releases from GW prime and both black library and forgeworld.

These include Adept Mechanicum army, Warlord Titan, plastic blood thrister, Natasha, Horus hersy novels and army books, primarchs etc, etc. 

So all in all the last few years have been great for old school hobbyists like myself and newbies, so where is this going, well with the iniment release of the plastic Horus Hersey range, I have a stronger than not feeling that a plastic range of Sisters of battle is just around the corner :-)

With the up img release from black library of the 'beast arises' novels set in the 32nd millennium, we may see a retcon of the sisters fluff to fit into this timeline and not only from the 36th millennium onwards. 

Let me know your thought and what sort of things are on your GW bucket list :-)

Psychic Tuesday 06-10-15 Who Watches the DeathWatch!!

!!Who Watches the DeathWatch!!!

With the release of the fourth Deathwatch short read yesterday, I've come to the conclusion that we are still on course for a standalone Deathwatch box set game.

The four deathwatch novels relate to the four recent release chapter upgrade sprues in terms of one being ultramarine, blood Angel, dark angel and space wolves, also this last weekend re boxing of the stern guard and vanguard sets to 32mm this adds greater evidence that this is on its way!!! :-)

So all we need to look for is a dedicated deathwatch shoulder pad sprue than the marine forces would be complete.

Also of note is that at the upcoming 40k open days 17th and 18th October they are saying that there will be a new display featuring two army's that have never featured in a display before, could this be a Deathwatch vs (a new xenos race,) or maybe a genestealer cult army!!!

Psychic Tuesday 15-09-15 plastic Horus Heresy Zone Mortalis?

Better later than never!!! :-)

So I came across the WDW teaser for next next week and it mentions Zone Mortalis, Interesting :-)

What if the upcoming plastic heresy starter box set is in fact a stand alone Zone Mortalis game :-)

Rumours are that the box set is set between ultramarine vs word bearers and is set in space in Ultrama

So a zone Mortalis style game is not out of the realms of possibility 

See you next week!!

Psychic Tuesday 08-09-15 Horus Heresy Starter Set (Thoughts)

Macragge Honour Artwork

With the imminent release of the plastic Horus Heresy Starter Set, a thought crossed my mind that no one is talking about.

I was thinking that the Starter set will be more like the age of sigmar and dark vengeance starter sets, with models that are (snap fit) rather than multi part. many people might think that this is not the case as some leaked images of multi part model sprues are all over the internet. This is not the definitive proof that the started set is only multi part , just look at the age of sigmar release, there is the main snap fit starter set, but there is also a lot of multi part model sets that have come out since the original set.

I would like this to be the case with the Horus Heresy box set and would keep the price down to the same as age of sigmar and dark vengeance.

This would act as a good starting point for any armies.

This would hopefully lead to a similar release schedule like age of sigmar that would see multiple box set of different armour sets, contemptor dreadnoughts and tanks etc.

Looking forward to see where this is going
