Sometimes the best hobby side-projects start with a simple idea and then, somehow, turn into a whole thing. That is pretty much what happened here.




One Tiny Rule, One Big Debate: Rank Bonus Before or After Combat?

We love those very normal hobby moments when a quick rules question turns into a full-on design discussion. This time, we ended up deep in the weeds over a classic Warhammer Fantasy problem: when exactly should rank bonus and Unit...


Big Games, Small Games, and Why We Like Different Warhammers

We had one of those very familiar hobby chats recently: a little bit of rules talk, a little bit of list-building pain, a little bit of wishlist planning, and a lot of comparing which Warhammer systems actually click for us....




Wait, Have We Been Spilling Damage Wrong in Age of Sigmar?

We had one of those very Warhammer hobby moments recently: a quick rules chat suddenly turned into a full-on “wait… have we been playing this wrong the whole time?” discussion.

We had one of those very classic Warhammer hobby moments recently: a short rules question turned into a surprisingly interesting discussion about terrain, line of sight, and what the wording is really trying to say.



A Possible Way Into 40k Without Actually Playing 40k

We had one of those very Wiatry Magii conversations recently: starting from “40k has cool lore” and ending with “what if we just played something else with the same vibe?” And honestly, that may be the most sensible approach to...


A Seriously Great Battlefield Terrain Set

Sometimes a few photos are enough to make us stop scrolling and immediately think: yep, this would look fantastic on the table.
