INTERVIEW: David Guymer

Today I managed to talk with David Guymer, the author of the final two books in the Gotrek and Felix series amongst several other Warhammer Fantasy novels. We discuss about what it's like writing for the Black Library, how the doom of Gotrek came to be, the End Times in general, and much, much more.

EDITORIAL: Setting vs. Storyline

As wargamers we talk about progressing the storyline of our game systems pretty frequently. Do Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 really have core storylines though, or is this something that we are trying to enforce on it. Something akin to a square peg in a round hole?

GALLERY: Black Templar Marshall

This has to have been one of my most enjoyable commissions to do in awhile. The Black Templars have always fascinated me and I really like their color scheme. I had already painted a mostly black and white marine army though with my Sons of Dorn, so I had never really wanted to take the dive again. Now with this commission I got to scratch that itch and give the Templars a try.

REVIEW: Slayer

The final chapter in the saga of Gotrek and Felix has come and passed. Was it everything it needed to be to wrap up such an iconic storyline from the Warhammer universe?

GALLERY: Tomb King Chariot

It's always interesting to paint a new model for an old unit. I had painted my original three chariots several years ago, but lately have been using four in my games so I decided it was time to start painting more.

OPINION: Top 5 Horus Heresy Books

Since I just posted a review of Betrayer on Monday and recently picked up the latest book in the series, Legacies of Betrayal, I have been thinking about the Heresy series lately. I immediately thought about my favorite books from the Horus Heresy and came up with my Top Five. Take a look and see if you agree.

REVIEW: Betrayer

When I finished up Betrayer by Aaron Dembski-Bowden back when it first came out I described it as suffering from what I call awesome book syndrome. I finished it way to quickly and just wanted more.

HOBBY: Converting a Black Templar Marshall

It's not often that I have a reason to do such an elaborate conversion outside of a competition. This Black Templar Marshall (or captain) is a commission I picked up recently and it really let me flex my sculpting muscles.

TUTORIAL: Photographing your Miniatures

Model photography is something that takes some trial and error. There are plenty of guides out there, and they are all helpful, but unless you are a professional studio photographer you will probably have a bit of a learning curve. It's okay though, lets take a look at a bit of what I have learned.
