Guide to Legions Imperialis / Adeptus Titanicus bases

Here is another quick basing guide, this time for the stompiest GW game, Adeptus Titanicus. Even with the introduction of some brand new titan options, basing your god-engines remains a simple affair compared to the mess that is Warhammer 40k or even Wasteland Warfare. All that is bound to change, however, if the studio ever comes around to releasing a new edition of Epic Armageddon. Fingers crossed?

Guide to Wasteland Warfare bases

This is a list of base sizes for Modiphius line of Wasteland Warfare miniatures, made in the same vein as a previously published guide for Games Workshop figures. My hope is for this article to serve as a size comparison to keep at hand when converting, searching for alternate models, scaling your 3d prints and the like. Note that, unlike Games Workshop, Modiphus does not list base sizes on their website and thus this guide is only possible due to imput of hobbyists like you. Make sure to hit me up with any corrections or questions you might have!

Deathwatch Overkill review — part 2

As a proud owner of Deathwatch Overkill box I've already gave you my impressions on the base game, as well as its units and missions. However, it's just a half of the game's full potential: I was pleasantly surprised with all the expansion support Games Workshop provided for the game in White Dwarf magazine and on the Warhammer Community website. So let us examine the expanded edition of Overkill and take a look at all the new rules GW treated us with over the year the game has been out.

Deathwatch Overkill review — part 1

Arguably, the most notable 40k releases in 2016 were the long-awaited codices for xenos-hunting Deathwatch and hybrids of Genestealer Cults. The miniatures for the two factions were first shown in a Deathwatch Overkill boardgame. After the release of Shadow War: Armageddon and general rise of interest in skirmish-level games in 40k universe it's interesting to see what Overkill has to offer. So let's finally get past the cool miniatures and take an in-depth look at the game.

Guide to 40k bases

When it comes to scratch-building, kit-bashing and deep conversions it is often necessary to know a size of a base the finished model is supposed to be put on. While it wasn't a big problem up to a while ago, many recent GW models use unusual (and often unique) bases. Thus I've had a feeling that some king of basing guide could be useful. Maybe some fellow hobbyists might find this helpful as well. So let's see what each base is used for.

Myth-busting 40k — part 3

It's about time to finish my war on 40k misconceptions. And the last but not least come myths about xenos races and followers of Ruinous Powers. A lot of notions regarding these factions often end up incorrect, because they are more commonly used as antagonists, which way too often results in their lore being left underdeveloped. A lot of myths regarding Chaos and xenos are also born when other factions' fans try to show their opponent's faction's inferiority, often twisting the lore in order to achieve this. In retaliation even more misconceptions are made, complicating the situation even further. So let's separate the real lore and the mistakes.

Myth-busting 40k — part 2

Let's get on with myth-debunking. In the second post I gathered all misconceptions surrounding the Imperium of Man. It suffers from the excessive grimdark treatment more than any other faction: a lot of sources give a one-sided picture of wars Imperium wages and conditions, in which most of its subjects live their day-to-day lives. Another problem is that a lot of times the lack of writers' imagination leads to Imperium loosing its most important feature - infinite variability of 40k-era worlds and societies. So let's have a look at the most common mistakes.

Myth-busting 40k — part 1

Warhammer 40000 lore doesn't seem all that complex at the first glance. But 27 years do count for something and the more you dive into the universe, more complicated and tangled it becomes. With all the various canon sources constantly adding more lore to the already well-detailed universe, it becomes ever more easy to make mistakes where the background is concerned, and the number of wrong conceptions about the 40k lore is ever-growing.

I decided to put together a list of the most widespread and misleading of those misconceptions. It should be noted that 40k fluff is open to interpretation more often than not, and so I tried to avoid the areas that are made from the start to be dependent on reader's opinion, leaving only those where the lore is pretty much set. I also avoided small misconception devoted to small sub-factions. But the number of myths ended up being too high anyway, so I ended up dividing one post to three. And in the first one I've listed all general misconceptions, not really connected to a single 40k faction.
