Nagash - The Spoils of War

Hey guys, Learn2Eel here with a more personal update than previously. Today I participated in my local Games Workshop stores' birthday - the staff are awesome and the shop is great! I had a pre-order to claim including the Nagash model, the Limited Edition Nagash and End Times set in addition to the Lore of Undeath Magic Cards. This was all purchased as a result of having stayed up until 4:30am in the early hours of Saturday morning so that I wouldn't miss out, and suffice it to say that I lucked out - heavily!

Nagash Model and Rules Review

Hey guys, Learn2Eel here with an early look at the Nagash model, his prowess on the battlefield and what they could mean for competitive Warhammer Fantasy gaming. This is easily one of Games Workshops' best Warhammer Fantasy releases in the last decade and ranks as one of the most important by far; if the return of Nagash wasn't enough, we also have classic heroes and heroines of all kinds returning to the fray. From Neferata - the original Vampire - to Valten - oft described as Sigmar reborn - the End Times is shaping up to be a truly epic and tumultuous rule-set for Warhammer Fantasy and will surely give it the revamp it needs to gain the popularity it deserves as a game system.

Tactica Astra Militarum - Ogryns and Bullgryns

Greeting ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the latest entry in my Astra Militarum Tactica series! Today is a special day dedicated to all those players that have ever inducted mercenaries or subhumans into the ranks of their Imperial Guard regiments; all may serve the Emperor faithfully even if His blessing is not meant for them! I speak of course of the lovable Ogryns - and the newly formed Bullgryns! - the huge and brutish soldiers in the employ of the Astra Militarum, proving that even those lacking in intelligence can use their strength or other assets for a good cause under an able commanders' leadership. I hope you enjoy this article!

Tactica Astra Militarum - Taurox and Taurox Prime

Hello there everyone, my name is Learn2Eel (also known as "the Merciless") and today sees my first full review of the all new Taurox vehicles. Billed as competitors for the Chimera as a wide-spread Dedicated Transport, the Taurox variants are certainly interesting attempts at pushing the aging Chimera out of the fore-front but ultimately fail in that regard. Still, as an intriguing new option with a few unique traits to distinguish it from the mostly superior Chimera, the Taurox - and the Taurox Prime by extension - are worth a try even if only to break up the monopoly the Chimera chassis has in mechanized Astra Militarum army lists.

Tactica Astra Militarum - Chimera

Hello there everyone, my name is Learn2Eel and welcome to the first of two Dedicated Transport articles for my ongoing Astra Militarum Tactica series! Today sees the first fully fledged review of the famous Chimera that has been a staple of Imperial Guard army lists for several years, a tank that is only outshone by the Space Marine Rhino as the archetypal "transport tank". Even with a significant change in how the Chimera functions with the new codex, this is still the premier transport option for Astra Militarum armies and well worth the price.

Nagash and the End Times

Hey guys, I've got a quick update today with some exciting news. Obviously by now I think everyone will have seen the new Nagash model, his rules and possibly also the leaks concerning future releases - the Blood Queen, progenitor of all Vampires, is returning! As a Vampire Counts player following the Lahmian blood-line this is irresistible news for me and it means my Undead army is coming back in full force after several months of inactivity. While Warhammer 40,000 is very much my focus at the moment with Astra Militarum, Orks, Space Wolves and now Grey Knights still to sift through, my attention will be somewhat diverted to Warhammer Fantasy during these exciting few months.

You can expect a full review of the Undead Legion army list, Nagash himself and the various characters within the coming weeks - seeing as there shouldn't be too much to discuss in terms of full rules I feel I can get this particular review finished in a short time and then move on to other projects. We will see how it works out though as I am notoriously terrible when it comes to fulfilling blog-related promises! As a side note, at 1000 points Nagash may seem prohibitively expensive but from what I have seen the Great Necromancer is easily the most powerful special character in Warhammer Fantasy now and his points cost reflects that! With all that said, have a nice day and I hope you enjoy my Astra Militarum: Chimera article to be released later today!

Tactica Astra Militarum - Veterans

Greetings my fellow hobbyists and war-gamers, may your day be blessed and your aim true in the face of adversity. It is such deeds that bespoke the Veterans of the Astra Militarum, soldiers that have amassed a wealth of experience through countless conflicts and close encounters with the jaws of death. These well trained Guardsmen and Guardswomen are among the finest warriors the Imperial Guard has to offer for they have the distinction of surviving past the horror of a humans' first battle in this Age of Darkness. For the Emperor and the glory of the Imperium!
