Review: Legiones Astartes MkII Assault Squad & Fellblade
We had to wait a few weeks after the launch of the Saturnine box and the 3rd Edition of The Horus Heresy. But now the battlefields of the Age of Darkness tremble once more, as alongside the new MkII Assault Squad the plastic version of the Fellblade super-heavy battle tank thunders onto the retail shelves. In this review, we’ll take a detailed look at both new kits.
Review: Helsmiths of Hashut army set
In the Hour of Ruin, the Helsmiths of Hashut have set out from their ziggurat fortresses to conquer the peoples of the Mortal Realms. This army set doesn’t just introduce a long-anticipated faction, it reimagines the legacy of the Chaos Dwarfs with a fresh yet recognisably sinister aesthetic. In this review, we’ll take a close look at the sprues of all the new models, and also leaf through the very first Helsmiths of Hashut battletome.
Review: Imperial Knight Questoris Defender
Towering war machines, bristling with weapons and heraldry, Imperial Knights embody both the splendour and brutality of the far future. Now, over a decade since the original Questoris kit marched onto tabletops, Games Workshop have refreshed the model with a new release and a brand-new Knight Defender variant. In this review, we’ll unbox the new Questoris Knight, take a close look at the sprues, and see what makes the Defender stand apart from its predecessors.
Review: Raven Guard Aethon Shaan & Imperial Fists Darnath Lysander
Today we’re unboxing and reviewing not one, but two brand-new Space Marine character kits: Raven Guard Chapter Master Aethon Shaan and Imperial Fists Captain Darnath Lysander. Both miniatures bring their own distinct flavour to the tabletop. Shaan is a striking, maximalist centrepiece bursting with Corvidae iconography, while Lysander is a modernised take on an old fan-favourite. Let’s take a closer look.
Review: Speedpaint markers by The Army Painter
Painting miniatures is now easier than ever – no brush required, just a single application and done. That’s the promise of the new Speedpaint Markers from The Army Painter. I’ve tested them to see whether they’re the real deal or just another hobby scam. In this review, I’ll also tell you all you need to know to get the best results, how to avoid damaging the tips, and compare them to their predecessors: the Speedpaint Markers from Deep Cut Studios.
Review: Legions Imperialis Mastodon, Cerberus, Typhon, Vindicator, Whirlwind & Scorpius squadrons
The Legiones Astartes are getting new tactical reinforcements in Epic Scale. Six new tank types will thunder across the battlefields of the Age of Darkness. In this review, we’ll take a look at the five new box sets, including high-res sprue images and all possible building options and bits.
Review: Nighthaunt Lord Vitriolic & High Falconer Felgryn
This month, the Mortal Realms welcome two distinctive new characters – one haunting, one deranged. The Nighthaunt’s sinister Lord Vitriolic and the Flesh-eater Courts’ beast-bonded High Falconer Falgryn both arrive with new battletomes and Spearhead box sets. I’ve taken a closer look at both kits to see how they measure up in the flesh – or ectoplasm.
Review: Salamanders Vulkan He’stan
The Primaris reimagining of Vulkan He’stan leads a line-up of new First Founding character models unveiled at the latest Warhammer Preview. Unlike some of his newly announced brothers, however, Vulkan is available on his own rather than being bundled into a Combat Patrol or Battle Box. In this review, we take a closer look at the sprue and the available build options.
Review: Leagues of Votann Ironkin Steeljacks, Kapricus, Cthonian Earthshakers & characters
Time to return to the rugged expeditions of the Leagues of Votann, as we jump into a mega review covering no less than six new releases. From heavy-hitting Ironkin Steeljacks to stoic heroes like Buri Aegnirssen, and the imposing ordnance of the Cthonian Earthshakers, the latest release wave has it all. In classic Tale of Painters fashion, this review is packed with crisp high-res sprue photos and a comprehensive list of every single build option.
Review: AMP Cosmic paint sets 1 and 2
There are two new paint sets from Monument Hobbies and Atomic Mass Games – and there’s quite a bit of confusion about what these AMP paints actually are. An expansion to Pro Acryl, or are they an entirely new standalone paint line? And is the formula different from the Pro Acryl main range? So many questions – and in this review, I’ve got the answers for you. I’ve tested both sets thoroughly and will explain the similarities and differences with Pro Acryl, and whether these AMP sets are worth a spot in your paint collection, or not.
