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.

Review: Ultramarines Marneus Calgar, Cato Sicarius, Victrix Honour Guard & upgrades
In the past, the Ultramarines have often been given somewhat stepchild treatment when it comes to model support compared to the other big four chapters. Not anymore. Alongside newly redesigned characters such as Marneus Calgar in Terminator Armour and Cato Sicarius, we’re also taking a look at the brand-new Victrix Honour Guard and the Ultramarines Upgrade Set in this review. Courage, honour, and high-res sprue images!
Review: Space Marines Battleforce: Crux Terminatus
The 10th Edition of Warhammer 40,000 will go down in history as the “Terminator Edition”. Following the first wave released last year, the Crux Terminatus Battleforce has now arrived. Packed to the brim with plastic, this army box includes a total of 21 models, from the brand-new Ancient and dynamic Assault Terminators to the multipart Captain, Chaplain, and core Terminator squad. In this review, we’ll take a detailed look at all the kits, complete with high-quality sprue images.

Having only recently (and quite belatedly) finished painting the last Hormagaunt, my Hive Fleet Kraken Kill Team is now finally complete. This is several years after the current edition of Kill Team came out, which doesn’t even include Compendium Kill Teams anymore. I know. Still, I wanted to take the opportunity to shoot some atmospheric group photos for you in front of my Gallowdark terrain, so please enjoy.
