We had one of those very classic army-building mornings: one link opens, then another, then suddenly we are deep in special rules, list builder quirks, and discussing whether a flying machine is still worth it if it does not come...
We love these moments when a game of Warhammer: The Old World turns into a tiny hobby detective story.
We got one of those very Warhammer moments this week: excitement, confusion, a rules re-read, and then the sudden realization that the draft had changed in a way that accidentally matched how it had already been played at the table....
Sometimes we start digging into our hobby notes and suddenly it turns into a tiny stats project. That’s exactly what happened here.
Since Wilini couldn’t make it today, we went ahead and played next week’s round early. He’ll make up for it by playing two rounds next week.
We love how often a normal post-game chat turns into a full-on army-building spiral.
We had a really fun, really chaotic third round of our local Cinquecento event, and this one absolutely deserved a write-up. The headline clash was Skaven vs Chaos Daemons, with enough poison gas, impact hits, overruns, and rules-lawyering-after-the-fact to power...

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 —...
