Review: Aeldari Eldritch Raiders Battleforce & new Vyper
The Aeldari Corsairs raid the galaxy with style in the new Eldritch Raiders Battleforce. After literal decades of waiting, the ancient Vyper jetbike finally receives a plastic update, now buildable as either a Craftworlds Vyper or the baroque Corsair Starfang. Alongside it comes Prince Yriel in his new Corsair garb, the first-ever Void Dreamer model, the winged Skyreavers, and the returning Voidreavers. In this comprehensive review, we unbox the entire battleforce in a 4K video, examine every build option with high-res sprue images, and let you know whether these swift raiders are worth adding to your collection.
Review: Huron Blackheart and the Masters of the Maelstrom & Lords of the Maelstrom Battleforce
Huron Blackheart’s reign of terror expands with not one but two new boxed sets. We’re reviewing Huron Blackheart and the Masters of the Maelstrom, featuring the Tyrant of Badab himself alongside his sinister inner circle, as well as the Lords of the Maelstrom battleforce, which introduces the new Red Corsairs Raiders and Reave-Captain. In this comprehensive review, we unbox both sets in 4K, share high-res sprue images, and examine all the build options.
Showcase: Decimator Daemon Engine & Space Wolves Contemptor
Hi folks, I’m back again with some cool models for your viewing pleasure. I’ve always enjoyed the Warhammer 40k Forge World kits, and sadly, with the way things are today, these more specialist and complex kits are far less common and seldom seen on the tabletop. However, I do believe you can still use them as “Legends”, treat them as “counts as”, or, if you’re a filthy heretic like me, you can simply create your own rules (EVIL LAUGH!!!)-
Review: Kill Team: Shadowhunt
Here comes the Tale of Painters review of Kill Team: Shadowhunt, with an unboxing video in 4K, high-res sprue images, and a list of all build options. On the industrial world of Garranox, the feral Murderwing searches for dark malefic energies, and clash with the witch-hunting Celestian Insidiants of the Adepta Sororitas. Alongside two new kill teams, Shadowhunt also contains rules and missions for the Descent killzone, which links the Volkus and Tomb World settings on a two-part game board. All that and more in this post.
Showcase: Night Lords Nemesis Claw Kill Team
Building a main force of the Black Legion is a great foundation, but the real fun of being a Chaos Space Marine player is the narrative freedom to include other warbands. Today, I present you a new addition to the ranks: a Nemesis Claw Kill Team of Night Lords, ready to bring fear and psychological warfare to the enemies of Chaos.
Showcase: Black Legion Chaos Cultists & Beastmen
Hi everyone, I’d like to take the opportunity to talk about my Black Legion today. Rather than focusing on the key characters and major players in the force, I want to share some of my favorite units—those often considered the “weakest” in the game. I’m talking about the villainous Chaos Cultists and Beastmen.
Showcase: Black Legion Daemon Prince
Sometimes, a model simply demands a place in your collection – no questions asked. A few years ago, while working on my Black Legion force, I was inspired by Garfy’s brilliant painting guides. So, when the plastic Chaos Daemon Prince kit debuted in 2022, I knew it had to be part of my army. But then came the challenge: choosing his loadout!
Review: Kill Team: Nightmare
In the 2nd boxed expansion of this season of Kill Team, two dreadful factions clash amidst the chaos of Gallowdark’s collision with the forge world of Bheta-Decima. Featuring the dread-inducing Nemesis Claw of the Night Lords and the enigmatic Drukhari Mandrakes, this packed box is accompanied by an imposing Generatorum Hub terrain piece and enhanced by nine new missions and narrative twists. Find out more in our review of Kill Team: Nightmare.
