Brother-on-Brother Violence: Salamanders vs Black Templars in Warhammer 40,000
This one was exactly the kind of game we love reporting on: Space Marines deciding that the biggest threat on the table was, in fact, other Space Marines.

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’ve got another painting project rolling across the hobby desk: end3r is working through the remaining models from the Salamanders Combat Patrol for Colosseum.
Tournament evening: frustration, laughs, and objective play to the bitter end
Sometimes the best battle reports start before the first dice roll — with someone asking in chat whether anybody has the rules handy.
We love it when a game report arrives as a complete stream-of-consciousness brain dump, because somehow those are often the most fun to turn into a proper battle report. This time, end3r took his Salamanders into a King of the...
Sometimes army-building starts with careful planning, spreadsheets, and a long-term collecting strategy.
Yesterday end3r went to a Kill Team tournament at Xjoy, with a very realistic goal: learn something, survive three games, and ideally squeeze out one win. And honestly? Mission accomplished.
We had one of those very hobby-group moments this week: a quick invitation to a league game, a suspicious-looking 500-point list on the other side of the table, and immediate list-chat in the comments.
end3r kicked off his first King of the Colosseum league game for Warhammer 40,000, and honestly, this was supposed to be one of those educational beatings. You know the kind: we show up, get tabled, and at least come back...
Sometimes a format lands at exactly the right moment in a hobby journey. That was very much the case for us with King of the Colosseum.
We had one of those very Warhammer days where a post-game rules check turned into a full hobby conversation: part battle autopsy, part design debate, part league celebration. And honestly, that’s exactly the kind of thing we love most —...
Battle evening
Sometimes our hobby chat turns into three different events at once, and honestly, we love when that happens.
Too Many Campaigns, Too Little Time
Sometimes a painting project hits that very specific stage where we stop asking “is this the perfect choice?” and start asking “is this finished enough that we can keep our sanity?” This week, end3r landed exactly there with a squad...
A new Warhammer 40,000 edition teaser dropped, so of course we immediately started throwing first impressions around.
We had one of those very Warhammer conversations this week: it started with a spicy leak, escalated into apocalyptic speculation, took a detour through rules design, and somehow ended with Bretonnia, Kharadron anxiety, and a freshly finished Lammasu.
We’ve hit that very specific pre-tournament phase where list-building stops being a calm hobby exercise and starts becoming a mix of rules paranoia, calculator abuse, and saying “ok, that’s it, I’m submitting this” for the fifth time.
