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.

Review: Green Stuff World Maxx Formula

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.

In this review, we’ll take a detailed look at both new kits.

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.

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.
