TUTORIAL: Jungle Bases

Basing can add a ton of character to a finished model, from framing the model to setting them in a specific location. Often this just involves some painted sand or texture paint with some static grass on top, but you can take it even farther if you want. That's what I did here with my Seraphon and their jungle bases. Find out how to make your own jungle bases today!

Why You Should Collect and Play: Seraphon

They're aztec dinosaur people riding other dinosaurs, what's not to love about that! What? You wanted a more in depth article than that? I mean, if you're not hooked by that first sentence... Okay, I guess I can go into it more, but, I mean, dinosaur people! So, what makes the Seraphon such a cool army to collect and play? Lets find out! (It's cause of the dinosaur people. Obviously.)

What's Old is New Again: The Old World and Movement Trays

It's no secret that The Old World game is coming, and probably sometime in the next year or two at this point. We've even had quite a bit confirmed about it, but there's still a lot of mystery surrounding the return to the world-that-was. A few things we know for sure is that it will be 28mm, so existing armies and models will be compatible, and that it will be on square bases again. With all of the new stuff for AoS though that will seemingly be compatible with the Old World, part of me wonders about how the square bases will be implemented. Join me, on my journey into the speculative for this new game!

Why You Should Collect and Play: Beasts of Chaos

Do you hear the siren call of the bestial wild? Then the Beasts of Chaos might be for you! These true children of Chaos have long been a staple of the Warhammer universe, and in my opinion are one of the coolest looking armies. With a new battletome, updated lore, new rules, and a brand new Beastlord model, now is the perfect time to jump in. I even have a special guest contributor today in the form of the one and only Eat Bray Love to show off his amazing army and talk a bit about what makes the models so cool!

Gray Matter Gaming Mats and Magnet Trays Review

I'm a big fan of local businesses, so when Gray Matter Gaming, based out of Metro Detroit in Michigan, asked me if I would like to take a look at their battle mats and movement trays I couldn't pass up the opportunity. This company took two staples of modern gaming and put their own spin on them to introduce elements to increase the ease of use by the average gamer. So how do they stack up against the competition?

TUTORIAL: Painting Fire

More and more often models are coming with "special effects" modeled on them, with the most common of those being fire. Everyone knows what fire looks like, but it can be a bit tricky to paint sometimes. Recently I worked on the Mawpot for my Ogor Mawtribes, and took the opportunity to make a tutorial on how I tackled this hot issue.

Warhammer+ Show Ideas: Beyond Animation

We're now into our second year of Warhammer+ and so far we've had several animations, as well as battle reports, lore videos, and painting videos, but I feel like there are some missed opportunities here. While I'm enjoying the animations, I have a few ideas for other shows that could be hosted on the platform.

Tyler's Tinfoil Hat Time: Globb Glittermaw and Greasus Goldtooth

It's no secret that at the moment the Ogor Mawtribes lack any real special characters. Sure, they have the two Underworlds models, but you can't even buy one of them anymore. While their model line may be lacking, their lore has two prime candidates in the form of Braggoth Varduk and Globb Glittermaw. The second one's name may seem familiar to you if you're a more veteran player; it did to me too, which led me to a debut article style I'm calling; Tyler's Tinfoil Hat Time!

TUTORIAL: Ogor Mawtribes

I've always been a fan of the Ogors, and have a few false starts with them, but with the newest Battletome I've decided to finally take the plunge and do a proper Ogor army! As far as I was concerned there was only one way I was going to paint them, in the colors of nostalgia.

REVIEW: Sons of Behemat - The Lore

There's more to the Sons of Behemat than just some fancy new rules though, they have fancy new lore too! Being a rather new addition to the setting, there's still tons of room to flesh out this gigantic army, and this new book definitely takes advantage of it. As much of a Death fan as I am, I always love Destruction lore because it's all just so much fun!

REVIEW: Sons of Behemat - The Rules

Fe-fi-fo-fum, the Sons of Behemat once again shake the mortal realms to their foundations with their mere tread. Everyone's favorite gigantic rabble-rousers are back with the second iteration of their battletome and they have a few new tricks up their, er, well, they have new tricks. Let's find out what these monstrous behemoths have in store!

REVIEW: Disciples of Tzeentch Battletome 2022

Back in the mists of time of the 1st edition of Age of Sigmar, Disciples of Tzeentch was actually the first god centric book to come out that encompassed all of the mortal and demonic units for said god. Now, in 3rd edition, we're appropriately onto the 3rd version of the Changer of Ways favorite army. So, what's changed in the lore and rules for everyone's favorite technicolored army?

REVIEW: Warcry - Heart of Ghur

Something wild has been stirring in the world of Warcry and it's finally been unleashed in the form of Warcry: Heart of Ghur! This is the new starter set for the brand new second edition of everyone's favorite Mortal Realms themed skirmish game. So what comes in the box and what's changed in the game? Let's find out!

TUTORIAL: Rockgut Troggoth

With the release of the new Contrast colors, I figured it would be a good idea to test them out with a tutorial. A few of the colors seemed perfect for the classic Rockgut Troggoth color scheme and I happened to have a few sitting around unpainted. After a quick test on a spare bit of troggoth it was time for the real deal.

Speed Painting with Nighthaunt Gloom and Hexwraith Flame

Back when the Nighthaunt first came out with the launch of 2nd edition, they actually released two new technical paints designed to work specifically with them, Nighthaunt Gloom and Hexwraith Flame. The legendary Chris 'Peachy' Peach had a painting tutorial video shortly after that, showing how to use these on your Nighthaunt models, so I took the opportunity to follow his guide and see how quick and easy it really is. Spoiler, it's very quick and easy!

A Brief History of Mengel's Nighthaunt Collection

If you're not aware, I'm a bit of a Nighthaunt fan. I have almost one of every unit painted, and collectively I have over 6,000 points of models painted for them, and even more waiting to be painted! How did this ghostly obsession start though?

GALLERY: Groic Muzy's Nighthaunt

Today I have another special guest article from returning super talented hobbyist Groic (Loic) Muzy, this time showing off his spooktacular Nighthaunt! The maestro is at it again, applying his unique style to Olynder's favorite ghostly shock troops and telling us a bit about what went into making such a striking collection.

TUTORIAL: The Quicksilver Dead

While I'm a big fan of the more traditional Nighthaunt color schemes, it's always cool to see some that are more unique. In the new Nighthaunt battletome we get two new sub-factions, each with a pretty cool color scheme, the Scarlet Doom and Quicksilver Dead. Today I'm going to show you how to paint the metallic Quicksilver Dead in an easy to follow step by step guide!
