Review: Warhammer 40.000 & Age of Sigmar Christmas army boxes (inc. savings breakdown)
It’s that time of the year again when Games Workshop bundles up a set of army boxes offering savings of up to 40% compared to buying individually. This year, there are six Battleforces for Warhammer 40,000 and four for Age of Sigmar. Based on the experiences of previous years, they’ll sell out fast, especially at independent retailers, so preorder now. But which boxes are particularly worth it? Here comes our review and savings breakdown.

Showcase: Space Marine Terminator Chaplain (inc. painting guide)
The Space Marine Chaplain in Terminator armour seems to be stirring up a lot of discourse on the internet. Some people are saying it’s not very detailed, some are saying it’s a perfect blank canvas and then there are the people who thinks he has teddy bear ears… Well. in this post I’m going to share my thoughts on this sculpt and include all my paint recipes in a handy painting guide.
Showcase: Alpha Legion Legionary Heavy Gunner with Heavy Bolter
Here comes the next model for my Alpha Legion Legionary Kill Team: a Heavy Gunner with a Heavy Bolter. I painted this model some time ago but was never quite satisfied with it. You’ll find out why in this showcase post.
Review: Primaris Space Marines Company Heroes & Sternguard Veteran Squad
After the monopose Sternguard Veterans from the Leviathan launch box, we now get a multipart version of the Sternguard Veteran Squad.

In this review, we’ll take a look at what these two new kits have to offer. For the Emperor!
Showcase: Tyranids Genestealer from Hive Fleet Hydra (inc. painting guide)

Tutorial: How to paint Hivefleet Lotan Tyranids
Lotan is one of the new Hive Fleet introduced in the 10th edition of Warhammer 40k. In this tutorial I demonstrate how to paint Lotan’s characterful colour scheme with its crimson skin and reddish shimmering black carapace. For this I use the new paints and washes from TTCombat, but the painting guide can be easily followed with Citadel Colours as well.
