Review: Ciaphas Cain gets his first model, and two new Astra Militarum vehicles join the fight
He’d be the first to tell you he doesn’t deserve a model, and the first to pose for it anyway. Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium (and reluctant one at that), finally makes the leap from novel cover art to plastic kit, joined by his ever-loyal sidekick Ferik Jurgen. In this review, we take a close look at the kit and its build options with high-res sprue images, as well as the individual releases of the Hippogriff AFV and Centaur RSV.
This Warhammer: The Old World Core Set has the best Chaos Warriors GW have ever made (review)
The Old World is getting its first true two-player starter set, and it arrives with some of the most detailed Chaos sculpts Games Workshop have ever produced. We’re unboxing the Warhammer: The Old World 2026 Core Set, which brings brand-new Chaos Warriors, Chaos Knights, and Champions alongside a sizeable Grand Cathay host, all packed in with a revised hardcover rulebook. In this review, we go through every kit in detail with high-res sprue images and a 4K unboxing video.
Who makes the best rust & patina paint? Dirty Down vs. Green Stuff World review
Green Stuff World have released six new patina paints that oxidise just like the popular Dirty Down paints. But without the solvents, without the smell, at a lower price, and with extra colours like soot and dirt. In this video, I put all six Green Stuff World paints head-to-head with Dirty Down to find out which patina paint pulls off the best effects.
Horus Heresy Maximus Battle Group & Whirlwind reviewed: big box, small compromises
MkIV power armour is perhaps the suit most people picture when they think of the Horus Heresy, the advanced plate that carried entire Legions through the war’s bloodiest campaigns. We’re unboxing two long-awaited releases: the Maximus Battle Group, which finally brings plastic MkIV Legionaries and Assault Marines to the tabletop alongside a Contemptor Dreadnought and Sicaran Battle Tank. Plus the Whirlwind Missile Tank, which seemed to be delayed in the fogs of war. In this review, we go through every kit in detail, compare the new MkIV sculpts against their classic predecessors, and bring you high-res sprue images.
My Aeldari obsession returned: Corsairs Soul Weaver, Gunner & Voidreaver showcase
The galaxy’s wandering reavers are calling me back to the paint table. Aeldari Corsairs roam the void between the dying craftworlds, raiding and surviving on their own terms, and that restless spirit has finally pulled me back into painting pointy ears after a long hiatus. In this post, I’m sharing my progress on the Corsairs Voidscarred Kill Team, picking up a burgundy colour scheme I first tested years ago and finally turning it into a full squad.
Excess on parade: Lord of Hysteria, The Decadent Host & Accursed Reflection reviewed
Excess is never enough for the followers of Slaanesh, and their revised battletome arrives with reinforcements to match that appetite. We’re reviewing the Lord of Hysteria, the only new model in this release, alongside two bundle boxes: Battleforce: The Decadent Host and Regiments of Renown: Accursed Reflection. In this review, we examine all three releases in detail, including high-res sprue images of the Lord of Hysteria.
Ultracryl review: ultra pigmented, ultra coverage, ultra disappointing?
I’ve tested the complete Ultracryl paint range – the Kickstarter sensation from Germany. Premium acrylic paint with maximum pigmentation and the finest raw materials money can buy. What could possibly go wrong? Well… this is without a doubt the most difficult review I’ve ever had to make. Read on to find out why.
