Month In Miniatures: July 2021

NewsMonth in Miniatures

Welcome to July’s edition of the Month In Miniatures, all the news that’s fit to print from the world of Warhammer, brought to you by Tiny Plastic People. This month’s news is also delivered by our patented newsies technology, and so will be distributed to you by a gaggle of ragamuffins in flat caps (it’s customary to tip the urchin). What Was Released The biggest release this month was the Beast Snaggas box, and with it an early look at the new codex for Warhammer 40k’s favourite green hooligans, the Orks. Similar to the boxes released for the Lumineth Realm-Lords…

Month In Miniatures: June 2021 (Part 1)

NewsMonth in Miniatures

Welcome to the June issue of the Month In Miniatures, your monthly Warhammer news roundup from Tiny Plastic People. I’m your host, Large Flesh Person Tom. The biggest news this month was unquestionably the preorder of, and lead up to, the release of Age Of Sigmar’s 3rd Edition, including a core rulebook and the launch box, Dominion. In fact, that was so completely the biggest news that we’re going to dedicate an article to it, which you can perhaps expect some time later in the month. For your regular news this month, I’ve chosen to focus on the other news…

Hobby Roundup: June 2021

Hobby, Hobby Roundup

Welcome to the Hobby Roundup for June, a look at the hobby that our Tiny Plastic People contributors have been doing. It’s been a bit of a quiet month for most of us this time, so this will be a briefer article than most - but that’s alright, isn’t it? There are no prizes for this hobby. Unless you enter a contest I guess, but then that’s true for everything. Tom F (LeSwordfish) @LeSwordfish So I didn’t go as deep into vampires as I was worried last time round, just picking up a single unit of Blood Knights - they’re…

Month In Miniatures: May 2021

NewsMonth in Miniatures, News

Welcome to the May edition of the Month In Miniatures, all the news that’s fit to print in the world of Warhammer, from your friends at Tiny Plastic People. This month’s news is a bit of an odd one, since the most major event has gone from “not officially announced” to “everything to know is available” within the last thirty days, so bear with me as some of this will seem much faster in retrospect than it was as it was released. I refer of course to those radical Imperial Fist models that are exactly what I've been waiting for,…

Hobby Roundup: May 2021

Hobby, Hobby Roundup

Welcome to the May edition of the Hobby Roundup, a look at the hobby being done by our contributors in the Tiny Plastic People bunker. There’s no bunker, that’s just how White Dwarf always used to describe their offices. I’ve never visited where White Dwarf was printed, but they set it up in the early eighties when Reagan was restarting the Cold War, so who knows - maybe they felt a bunker was the safest place? Also here at TPP we don’t even have offices, just our respective devices, but that’s one of the challenges facing new media: a lack of…

The Month in Miniatures: April 2021

NewsMonth in Miniatures

Welcome to April’s issue of the Month in Miniatures, the Tiny Plastic People news blog. My goal here is to let you keep up with the new and interesting things happening in Games Workshop’s miniatures ranges, and the culture and community around them. One third of the way into the year already! Where does the time go? Deeply Cursed City The biggest news this month is Cursed City, and it’s strange news. Cursed City, the latest in Games Workshop’s Warhammer Quest range of cooperative boardgames, went up for pre-order, and sold out worldwide within minutes. This isn’t entirely unusual for…

Hobby Roundup: April 2021

Articles, Hobby, Hobby Roundup

Welcome back to the Tiny Plastic People hobby roundup, presenting what our contributors have been working on for the past month or so. So how was everybody’s April? Lockdown has been slowly easing here in the UK - I was able to go to a Games Workshop for the first time in months (they didn’t have what I wanted ? ), and I’ve seen that some people in our community have been lucky enough to be able to play games. Though they did have to do it outside, in the snow in one case, so maybe not so lucky? Tom…

The Month In Miniatures: March 2021

News

Hello once again and welcome to March’s edition of the Month in Miniatures, brought to you by the good people (me) at Tiny Plastic People. Perhaps the biggest news this month is the release of Warhammer Quest: Cursed City, Games Workshop’s latest in the Warhammer Quest series of co-operative board games. Release is on either the next or previous Saturday depending on when this goes up, and though we didn’t receive any news as major as last month’s mega-preview, there’s a bunch of articles discussing it on Warhammer Community. Source: AgeOfSigmar.com Some highlights include a look at Night and Day…

Hobby Roundup: March 2021

Hobby, Hobby RoundupHobby Roundup

Welcome again to the Hobby Roundup, your chance to see what our community of Tiny Plastic People contributors have been up to this month. There are glimmers of light at the end of the long lockdown tunnel - surely everyone is just putting the finishing touches on their isolation project and there won’t be a scrap of grey plastic to be seen when we meet up again? Surely? Rachel (Nersh) @Nershly All through February I was fixing, assembling and basing almost my entire backlog, with the intent of getting them all primed at the end, too. Well, I abandoned that…

The Month In Miniatures: February 2021

NewsMonth in Miniatures

Welcome to February’s issue of the Month in Miniatures, the regular news roundup from Tiny Plastic People. My goal here is to write a monthly summary of all the things happening in Games Workshop’s miniatures ranges, to let you keep up with the new and interesting things that have been revealed or released, without needing to check all the blogs every day. February gave us a videogame trailer, two Age of Sigmar army books, and a whole reveals stream dedicated to AoS, which means there’s a whole mess of cool stuff to see this time. Total War: Warhammer Right back…
