Review: Aeldari Eldritch Raiders Battleforce & new Vyper
The Aeldari Corsairs raid the galaxy with style in the new Eldritch Raiders Battleforce. After literal decades of waiting, the ancient Vyper jetbike finally receives a plastic update, now buildable as either a Craftworlds Vyper or the baroque Corsair Starfang. Alongside it comes Prince Yriel in his new Corsair garb, the first-ever Void Dreamer model, the winged Skyreavers, and the returning Voidreavers. In this comprehensive review, we unbox the entire battleforce in a 4K video, examine every build option with high-res sprue images, and let you know whether these swift raiders are worth adding to your collection.
Review: Huron Blackheart and the Masters of the Maelstrom & Lords of the Maelstrom Battleforce
Huron Blackheart’s reign of terror expands with not one but two new boxed sets. We’re reviewing Huron Blackheart and the Masters of the Maelstrom, featuring the Tyrant of Badab himself alongside his sinister inner circle, as well as the Lords of the Maelstrom battleforce, which introduces the new Red Corsairs Raiders and Reave-Captain. In this comprehensive review, we unbox both sets in 4K, share high-res sprue images, and examine all the build options.
Showcase: Decimator Daemon Engine & Space Wolves Contemptor
Hi folks, I’m back again with some cool models for your viewing pleasure. I’ve always enjoyed the Warhammer 40k Forge World kits, and sadly, with the way things are today, these more specialist and complex kits are far less common and seldom seen on the tabletop. However, I do believe you can still use them as “Legends”, treat them as “counts as”, or, if you’re a filthy heretic like me, you can simply create your own rules (EVIL LAUGH!!!)-
Review: Kill Team: Shadowhunt
Here comes the Tale of Painters review of Kill Team: Shadowhunt, with an unboxing video in 4K, high-res sprue images, and a list of all build options. On the industrial world of Garranox, the feral Murderwing searches for dark malefic energies, and clash with the witch-hunting Celestian Insidiants of the Adepta Sororitas. Alongside two new kill teams, Shadowhunt also contains rules and missions for the Descent killzone, which links the Volkus and Tomb World settings on a two-part game board. All that and more in this post.
Review: Necrons C’tan Shard of the Nightbringer & Nekrosor Ammentar

High-res sprue images are included of course, so read on.
Review: Captain Titus and the Wardens of Ultramar
The “Ultramadness” continues – after all, we hadn’t had new Ultramarines models for four whole months! But relief is at hand with Captain Titus and the Wardens of Ultramar. In this review & video unboxing we’re taking a very close look at the main protagonists of the 500 Worlds campaign, including high-res sprue images and all possible build options.

Review: Warhammer plushies by Tomy
Today we’re taking a break from miniatures to review something that’s just as adorable but infinitely more huggable: Tomy’s official Warhammer plushies. Yes, you read that right: the grim darkness of the far future now comes in soft, cuddly form. We’ve got our hands on a Grenade Nurgling, a Gloomspite Git, and an oversized Ultramarine Space Marine to see if these plush companions are worth adding to your collection.
Showcase: Aeldari Saim-Hann Scorpion & Hornet Grav Tanks
Hi everyone, today, I’d like to share a few thoughts and musings on gaming in general together with some old Forgeworld Aeldari kits the Scorpion Grav Tank and Hornet I painted a while back.
Showcase: Goff Orks Stompa
Even though it’s a bit late for “Orktober,” I have the pleasure of presenting one of my favourite models in my collection: my Goff Stompa! This model is now over ten years old. In previous articles, I’ve touched on the fact that I’m an “old timer” in the hobby, with more years under my belt than I’d care to admit. That said, the journey I’ve taken as a hobbyist is one that only gets better with time.
