9.0

Following the reboot of Warhammer Underworlds with the current second edition, the first expansion now arrives after the Embergard starter set and the individual warband boxes. Warhammer Underworlds: Spitewood shifts the setting to the Realm of Life, Ghyran, into the eponymous Spitewood forests. It includes two new warbands and Rivals decks, as well as a new Ghyran-themed board featuring a fresh hex mechanic. Let’s take a closer look at the contents – and, most importantly, the models.

7.0

A while ago, fellow paint nerd P. Knightwind hosted a big paint ranking on Instagram, and I could hardly believe the results. Apparently, one of the best red paints came from the Green Stuff World’s Maxx Formula line. Makes Green Stuff World the sleeper hit paint range that nobody talks about? For this video review, I got my hands on the entire Green Stuff World paint catalogue – and I must say, the answer isn’t that simple.

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.

8.0

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

8.0

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.

8.5

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.

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.

8.0

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.
