When the XIV Legion mockingly left the Youngblood behind to “prove his tactics right” by pacifying the toxic world of Kuzmin’s Pendulum, Abraxus was just a Breacher sergeant. After years of spearheading attacks on insurgent strongpoints and fortresses, his heterodox praetor was promoted him to centurion. One of his first triumphs as a full officer would be the boarding of the cruiser leading the small traitor detachment came to retrieve the Death Guard forces from Pendulum short after Drop Site Massacre.

The 9th Age | Fortified Niche playtest!
Hard to say if Warhammer ever had the good edition. If memory serves, the recommendation for Warhammer Fantasy Battles is playing 5th edition with 6th edition army books. Still, a lot of people agreed that changeover to Age of Sigmar was not it, chief. Some of those people made The 9th Age, a game of rank-and-flank fantasy battles!

One of the most persistent images of humanity past its fall involves flooded cities that have been reclaimed by the jungle.

There aren’t that many female models in Warhammer 40,000. Therefore, it’s usually up to 3rd-party designers to fill that gap. However, many of them seem to be sculpting with one hand under the table. At least the Heresy Girls 2 Kickstarter seems to be breaking from the trend of horniness!
Forge World Messes Up, Teases Torsos
The biggest news in Horus Heresy this week were the leaks the leaks of Book 8. Apparently, the pre-orders dropped unexpectedly, so now we have some inkling over what to expect from Blood Angels and White Scars. Everyone was waiting for the Friday newsletter with baited breath.
Forge World, of course, was happy to disappoint.
Forge World, Make Horus Heresy Shadespire
Look, we all know that Shadespire is going to be the real name for Warhammer Underworlds for at least a few years. You know what else is unlikely to change? Forge World’s unwillingness to engage with these smaller Games Workshop projects. Which is a shame, since Horus Heresy Shadespire would be entirely boss.

Renegade Scout review | Oldhammer Done Right
Rogue Trader, when it came out in the twilight days of the ’80s, was a very different beast than Warhammer 40,000 of this day. 8 editions later, the biggest miniature game in the world struggles to actually be a good game. That’s why some grognardy veterans play ‘Oldhammer’ – editions that are no longer supported. And maybe that’s the reason why there is a place for Renegade Scout in our hearts.

Infinity of Robots
I took part in an Infinity tournament last weekend. Didn’t win much (or at all), but the discussion afterwards gave birth to this zany list of all robots, all the time.
Raven Guard Sneak Into Horus Heresy: Legions
The first Istvaan V event on Horus Heresy: Legion has ended, and so a new Legion is introduced. Raven Guards are now here to wreck everyone’s faces. As it was when Salamanders made their first appearance, players can pay Real Actual Money for a pre-built deck, while Raven Guard crate (3 RG cards, 2 cards you probably already have) has replaced the Sally crate. But what does this shadowy Legion do?
