More Eldar Images Leaked
Two more little gems for you from the up coming White Dwarf of new Eldar stuff. Wraithblades and the new Eldar flyer, the name of which escapes me. I’m not convinced by the distinctly human design of the flyer. Looks a little bit like the Eurofighter in Space…
High Elves up for Pre-Order
The new High Elves stuff is available to pre-order and looking at the proper photography it looks pretty nice. I love the Shadow Warriors and, I hate to admit, I actually like the silly eagle flying chariot of flyingness. Let’s just leave physics out of it when discussing a game that features Elves in the first place and enjoy the spectacle.
Indications are the High Elves will continue to have the lions spare of the stabbiest, strike firstiest special rules and we can fully expect some nasty magic to go with it.
The High Elves release is set for the 4th May – Star Wars day as it goes…
High Elves Images Leaked
There’s some pretty interesting stuff in this little leaky bundle including Eagle Chariots and a Phoenix which I think looks ace. Looking in the background of one of the shots those terrible spearmen kits haven’t been replaced. Which is a real shame.
Anyway, enjoy…
Wayland Games Announces Game Studio
Well they’ve been up to something for a while and this appears to be it; news that Wayland Games are teaming up with Well Forged to establish a game studio bring the game HOX to tabletops around the world. Anyone’s guess what it’ll be about but judging by the art it has a distinctive I am Legend flavour to it. Only hopefully not as shit.
Here’s the release:
Well Forged Films and Wayland Games are proud to announce their partnership to produce a range of tabletop games based on their own original IP.
Their first collaborative project, codenamed HOX, incorporates sci-fi and horror elements to bring an intense and fun game to the tabletop.
Brian Hassan, Head of Film Production, Well Forged Films: “I’m a huge fan of board and miniature gaming, so the chance to work with a pedigree such as Wayland Games is like a dream come true for me. The crossovers between our creative industries are obvious but rarely utilised – with this partnership and with project HOX in particular, we want to bring players the absolute best in tabletop gaming, with a very real game universe, rich in detail and bursting with personality, fantastic story-driven gameplay and of course, a beautifully crafted miniatures series.”
Richard Lawford, Managing Director, Wayland Games Ltd: “I’m super excited to be involved in this project, and I’m looking forward to the collaboration between ourselves and the amazing team over at Well Forged Films and Blitz Games Studios.

Forge World Open Day Snaps
No I didn’t go, these are shamelessly ripped off from Bell of Lost Souls. Oh and to all the nay sayers, all the information I’m hearing after the day is that there will be a plastic Thunderhawk. Boom.
Anyway, lots of shiny Horus Heresy stuff, including a completely awesome Thousand Sons dreadnought and the Fellglaive. Which I completely want…
I want this!
Apparently one of these two is Nathaniel Garro. In which case…ka-buy!
Why is the plastic Landspeeder nowhere near this cool?
Tau Teaser Trailer
Well I think we can say the…er…Kroot is out of the bag. A surprisingly good teaser trailer but once again GW has only given us a week notice. Although at least this time they waited until most people have got paid.
Megalith Previews Necromagus
Megalith Games are previewing the Necromagus for the Mortans faction of Godslayer. He’s kinda cool…
A Necromagus belongs to the Ordo Mortificarum and works in service to the state, employing the forces of undeath to further the aims of the empire.
All are required to spend at least several years assisting the legions on campaigns of conquests, during which they control the undead Legio Mortum soldiers, animate new monsters and provide defense against the attacks from spirits and higher dimensional enemies.
So steeped in necromancy are they that a Necromagus can suck the life-force out of nearby allies in order to heal themselves.
Necromagi are less experienced than the masters of Necromancy – the Mortifexes – but like them, Necromagi are battle-hardened, and able to cast spells even in melee, having become inured to the horrors of war.
Their spells and Ancestral Rites abilities increase the effectiveness and resilience of all undead models in the warband, making them an ideal support for a warband led by a Mortifex, and also an invaluable character in a mixed warband which includes some undead models.

More Tau Images Leaked
Yep, more White Dwarf snaps of the new Tau stuff. Dribble, drool, or, like me, roll your eyes at the clunkiness of Farsight and go back to your Space Marines.
Tau Images Leaked
Well another new release and another set of shoddy photos taken by someone who got their hands on a White Dwarf before anyone else.
I did actually spot these at around 3am whilst trying to get the baby to settle but I didn’t think the wife would appreciate me pausing to blog about it…
This time it’s the Tau and huzzah, some new models. However, my worst fears have been realised; the Crisis Suits and Fire Warriors have not been replaced. So the two main units of the army remain dated and uninspiring which is an absolute crime. The Pathfinders and the Broadsides have had an update though.
The Riptide, yes it does say £50, is a fucking great mech, so that’s a win. A big one. With big guns.
