Tutorial: How to paint Nurgle Rotswords with metallic green armour
In this tutorial I’ll show you how to paint the new Rotswords of the Maggotkin of Nurgle. Quick and dirty, but the good kind of dirty. For this we’ll rely largely on a sort of Slapchop-plus-technique with zenithal basecoat and Speedpaint, plus Vallejo True Metallic Metal paints and enamel washes for a super simple green metallic effect on the armour. In this post you’ll learn step by step how it’s done.

Review: Warhammer plushies by Tomy
Today we’re taking a break from miniatures to review something that’s just as adorable but infinitely more huggable: Tomy’s official Warhammer plushies. Yes, you read that right: the grim darkness of the far future now comes in soft, cuddly form. We’ve got our hands on a Grenade Nurgling, a Gloomspite Git, and an oversized Ultramarine Space Marine to see if these plush companions are worth adding to your collection.
Review: Warhammer Quest: Darkwater
A new edition of the iconic Warhammer Quest board games is always something rather special. After Blackstone Fortress and Cursed City, 2025 sees the return of the series. But Warhammer Quest: Darkwater does quite a few things differently: A flat-lay map book instead of tiles, ability cards instead of dice, and a brand-new optional skirmish mode. Whether all these changes come together, and whether they justify the eye-watering price tag, is what we’ll be exploring in this review, along with a look at the gorgeous miniatures and their sprues.
