HOBBY: Magical Effects - Skullstorm


I have been wanting to make this model for awhile now, pretty much ever since I saw the Balewind Vortex after I started playing Tomb Kings. There is just something about creating a visual element for the action elements of our games, from explosions to spells, that takes them to the next level.

REVIEW: The Return of Nagash


What could have been a lazy, by the numbers recounting of what many of us have already read in the Nagash book, instead delved deeper into the psyches of some of Warhammer's most infamous villains, delivering a thoroughly entertaining story.
