Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin demo review | Fancy sword and magical board

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin demo - WHICH WAY GHURISH MAN? You get to choose between the classic lumpy liberators and the new slimmer Thunderstrike armor variant

I was there when Kirby slew Warhammer Fantasy. I may not have been in the room when it was all decided, but I was mad when Brettonia died off screen and I was online when points were eliminated. It was heartbreaking to see an old and flavorful setting be replaced with Sigmarines fighting Khorne Blood-blooders forever.

Horus Heresy Might Not Be Dead, But They’re Working On It

Horus Heresy Is Dead

The year has not been merciful for Horus Heresy. While it started well, with a dedicated rulebook that even I purchased, it did not follow up on that.

When Forge World Prices Make Games Workshop Look Sane

Today, Forge World finally made it possible for buyers to pay in whatever local currency they have. The caveat is that the new prices were set at a fixed conversion rate as decided by Forge World.
