We had one of those very good hobby days where the post finally arrived and suddenly the pile of plans became very real.

We recently fell into one of those very Old World rabbit holes: a tournament-winning list, a weird comp system, some properly nasty spell-item combos, and finally the kind of magic weapon that makes us want to play a game purely...
Sometimes a hobby purchase starts with a very normal, very dangerous question: “what model even is this?”
Every now and then we end up talking less about who won and more about whether the game itself was actually fun to play. This time the spark was a discussion about a very specific kind of scenario: one where...
Sometimes army-building starts with grand strategy. Sometimes it starts with spotting a nicely painted second-hand transport online and thinking: honestly, this is cheaper than the box, and someone else already did the hard part. This week was definitely more of...

We have been talking a lot lately about compact Warhammer games, and one topic came up that felt worth writing down properly: what happens on a 30x44 table when fleeing, breaking, and returning units start interacting with the board edge...
We recently had one of those very Warhammer conversations that starts with a small rules gripe and quickly turns into a full-on idea for how we might want to play the next league.
Last weekend’s Round 4 of Cinquecento gave us one of those games that is very Warhammer in the purest sense: dramatic on paper, brutal on the table, and powered almost entirely by absurd dice. Brave Bretonnians ran headlong into a...
