New Edition, New Army: Part 2

Articles, Gaming
Last time I told you about how I painted up a new Sons of Behemat army for Age of Sigmar 3rd edition. In this article I’m going to cover my experiences so far of running the army on the tabletop, and give some tips for new or aspiring Gargant players. I’ve played around twelve games with my Gargants so far I think, including a one day tournament. They’re exactly what I hoped they would be: a fun army that plays into the strengths of AoS 3, and has straightforward rules which have let me focus on learning the nuances of…

New Edition New Army: Part 1

Articles, Hobby
Over the lockdowns in the UK I painted up four Age of Sigmar armies, but when Age of Sigmar 3rd edition was announced for the summer of 2021 I decided that it would be a good idea to paint another new army to learn the new edition with. In this article I’ll talk about why I chose Sons of Behemat for my first AoS 3.0 army, and how I planned, built and painted the army. There will be a follow-up article soon in which I’ll cover playing my first games with the army and what I’ve learned so far. Why…

Hobby Roundup: September 2021

Hobby, Hobby Roundup,
Salutations, tiny plastic readers! It's been a while, but we thought we'd get back to sharing what's been on the hobby desk for some of our contributors recently. With events starting to creep back into calendars, there has been a flurry of activity as we add finishing touches, meta-chasing units, or whole new armies to the collection, whilst others amongst us to continue to devote their time to beautiful single models, metawatch be damned! Tom G (RespectableGeek) @RespectableGeek I’ve spent the last couple of months working on my most ambitious project yet: the Knight Castellan Saraneth, the Throne of Queen…

My Favourite Tool: White Ink

Hobby
My Favourite Tool A fly-by look at one tool in the hobby-space - what it’s for and why it’s good. White Ink This time: White Ink I like most inks for painting, but I love white ink. If I look at the level of all my ink-bottles, only black and white have any noticeable decrease, and the white is down by a whole lot more than the black is. What makes white ink different from white paint? It is very opaque compared to how thin the ink is, and it comes out the pot the perfect viscosity for painting with.…

Why I love: Adeptus Mechanicus

Articles, Hobby,
or, how I learned to stop worrying and make everything Skitarii Strap in your bionic eyes, give up your mortal flesh for steel and set your chronometers for fun because it’s time we talk about the Omnissiah. The Adeptus Mechanicus are both one of the oldest parts of Warhamer 40,000 lore, and are also blessed with one of the most flexible and fun ranges currently available. Do you want to ride into battle on a cybernetic hound wielding two pistols? We got you. What about robots? Tell me you have robots! Yeah we got robots, we’ve got robots that you…

Getting started with the Black Library (Part 2)

Articles, ,
What? Did you finish our last recommendations? Well, we are back for more! This time we take a trip back to Terra (twice!), punch ghosts and have Actual Feelings on the other side of the galactic rift. A Tiny Plastic Person Top Tip: The Black Library is full of text-based treats, but it’s not the only way to enjoy the schlocky delights of the Warhammer world. As a few of our contributors have mentioned, the audiobooks are of particularly good use when painting, running, working or other activities where your eyes are otherwise occupied. If you are one for the…
