Join me as we unbox the Grand Cathay Battalion — a brand-new faction for Warhammer: The Old World.

Review: Horus Heresy Tarantulas & Rapier Batteries
In this post, I unbox and review four new heavy support kits for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy – the Tarantula Sentry Guns, the Tarantula Missile Battery, and both Rapier Weapons Battery sets. With redesigned sculpts, a generous array of weapon options, and some clever design touches, these kits aim to bolster your Legion’s firepower in style. Let’s take a closer look at what’s inside the boxes.
Review: Kill Team: Typhon
Kill Team: Typhon is here, and it’s a return to the large-format expansion boxes– c omplete with sprawling campaign content, thematic new terrain, and two brand-new Kill Teams. This time, it’s the long-awaited plastic Servitors for the Adeptus Mechanicus and an elite team of Raveners for the Tyranids. In monstrous unboxing and review, we take a close look at the new sprues (with high-resolution images!), dissect each team’s gameplay and build options, and explore what the Typhon Dossier brings to the table.

Review: Warpaints Fanatic Historical paint sets
The Army Painter just released three new paint sets specifically for historical miniature painters – and they claim to offer historically accurate colours developed in collaboration with a respected military historian. But are these just repackaged Fanatic paints or do they offer something new, something useful for painting WWII armies with authenticity?
Review: The perfect match(es) for 90s Goblin Green
There is something special about the 90s version of Goblin Green. It’s the colour of our childhoods, when garishly painted armies clashed on green flocked tabletops. But replicating the exact shade of classic Goblin Green seems surprisingly difficult. In this video, I test and rank similar green paints from over 14 old and new paint brands. Let’s determine once and for all which modern paint is the perfect match for the classic Goblin Green of the 90s.

As usual, our review is loaded with high-res sprue images and size comparisons.

As usual, with high-resolution sprue images.
Review: AK Playmarkers
Painting miniatures as easily as holding a pen? Well, AK Interactive has developed a range of markers specifically designed for painting miniatures. Might their new Playmarkers be the ultimate beginners product? I’ve tested the entire range of 34 colours and have some thoughts. I’ll tell you what I think of AK’s Playmarkers and whether they might even be worth a look for experienced painters.
