Showcase: Dark Angels Invictor Tactical Warsuit
The Invictor Tactical Warsuit could be easily mistaken for a Dreadnought because it shares the same chassis as the Redemptor Dreadnought but it’s been stripped of the heavier armour and sealed Sarcophagus and instead has a roll cage and a harness. The Invictor is a Warsuit with it’s pilot being able to hop in and out at leisure.
Review: Aeldari Webway Gates
In this review, we’ll have a look at an army specific scenery piece, the Aeldari Webway Gates, originally released in 2018. This is an absolutely enormous Xenos terrain set, and an option for both Eldar Craftworlds, Aeldari Harlequins, and Drukhari Dark Eldar.

Showcase: Dark Angels Assault Intercessors
Charging, servo-assisted towering suits of ceramite armoured gene-enhanced humans with chainswords revving and screaming while Heavy Bolt Pistols staccato bark. Slamming into an enemy position and running straight through it. Bodies left torn and rent, screams of mercy as the heretics hold bloody stumps. This is the definition of brutal assault. This is the grim darkness of the far future.

Anger rises. Death wakes. Painting… calls.

Review: Eldar/Aeldari Craftworlds Howling Banshees kit
If you ask an Eldar collector what she*he wants, she*he will tell you this: plastic Aspect Warriors. In 2020, Games Workshop heard our plea and, after 14 years, released another Aeldari warrior aspect in plastic: Howling Banshees, harbingers of woe, arguably one of the most iconic Craftworlds units. In this (overly) detailed review we take a look at the sprues, the various Exarch options, compare the models to Jes Goodwin’s concept art and also see how they scale with the former metal Banshees and other Aeldari models.
