8th Edition Warriors of Chaos – Shadow synergy

Having leapt into Warhammer's 8th edition, it's a lot of fun going through army books and new rules to re-invent armies and try no builds. So far I have been trying out as many different units as possible, taking advantage of any new rules. Festus in a unit of 50 Marauders, my first horde deathstar, seems to have worked up a few grudges at my local club so far!

Rattus Vulgaris – Painting Skaven Clanrats step by step

As part of our Tamworth Games Clubs "tale of" event I am currently building a Skaven army. I say building, but its built - one hundred plus grey plastic models glued together (for the most part) to practice the Skaven game plan.

Sourcing the Jabberslythe?

Today Games Workshop fully announced the release of the plastic Winged Nazgûl for their Lord of the Rings range. While a beautiful model in its own environment I cannot help but wonder where this model can see other uses.

The first idea to come to mind is the re-imagined Jabberslythe in the upcoming Warhammer Armies: Beastmen.  What is a Jabberslythe? The name and description confirm the obvious - the classic Jabberwork.

New Beastmen models preview

Images of the upcoming Beastman release have been floating around for a few days now. Games Workshop have lauched a poster displaying some of the new models. The responses I've seen on a few forums has been very negative. While I can understand some of the comments, I really think everyone should wait for official launch before making judgement.

All the following images are copyright Games Workshop. I believe they were originally uploaded by Waaagh_Gonads on Dakka Dakka.

Creating Beastmen Centaurs

As part of our club's "Tale of" project and a due to long-term interest in Beastmen as a whole, I'll be building a new army this year - Beastmen of course! The first unit I want to tackle are the Centigors. I don't like the price or the fact that they have claws instead of hooves, so set out to make something more Centaur-like and at a cheaper price.
