For you sir ! One Alpha Legion upgrade sprue !

All in favour of calling it Warhammer New World?

I'm happy to have a WH World closer to home, but it'll be a few years before I feel like it's safe to visit the US. If it had been there in 2023 or 2024 I wouldn't have hesitated to visit.

Working on it...

That 'Yarrick' is fake, someone posted explanation on the AdMech Discord

As long as it doesn't detract from the 'real' WHW and GW doesn't forget where they came from. I really don't want Warhammer to become overly 'Americanised'. Nothing against America, from my experience they are a lovely people, just it is nice to have a bit of choice.

I still can't belive that we're getting a 4th Armaggedon war with tied-in model releases and none of them is Steel Legion themed, not even a kill team box.

FINALLY managed to finish these.

Finally! It’s high time a red-blooded American hobby like Warhammer returns home to America. Crazy they built one in the Robin Hood town, who even lives there? King John!?

Just wanted to say hello and happy to be here. Played as a teen in 90s, been out for about 25 years , and the lore and painting brought me back. I’m member of FDNY ( New York City fire department) and a fellow friend on job got me back into painting first. I find it really helps with mental fatigue and load from the job. Live in apartment, so mainly interested in playing Boarding Action for 40k and Kill team, though goal is to slowly but surely build my painting and modeling skills. Currently painting Dark Angels and Khorne 40k, I like to mix it up and not burn out. Thanks for taking time to read this.

And that's the Rhino Wreck Terrain done!

Greets, After several years I am trying to get back into the hobby that I loved for decades. First project is a brush holder/water pot for my hobby desk! I will continue to post WiP's here and I am always open to critiques, criticism, and pointers.

First two Mörderin ladies done I went for a maximalist approach, using acrylics, mica powder, inks, true metallics and more

The full report is available here. It's worth the read, at least until Brother @N1SB comes and tells us all what it actually means! My reading of it is that GW are still doing very, very well - even after licensing takes a (not unexpected) wallop. But you don't release Space Marine 2 every quarter, and it seems to be feeding into their wider sales. Amazon/Cavill show remains in limbo publicly so take from that what you will. The relevant AI section is this though: I do, genuinely, love how some of this is written by what sounds like an actual person and not Corporate Buzz Speak. How many other FTSE 100 companies would allow "to be honest I'm not an expert on it" to make it into an investor report? Honestly, glorious.

Right! It is Monday, the 12th of January, and we have a pretty clear winner. It is closer for 2nd and 3rd place. The poll will run a bit longer (for everyone in later time-zones). I will go to work now, and there are two issues- first, black-ice is forecast and the central heating in the house I live in is broken down. At minus 10 degrees centigrade. I am not sure I will return home tonight or bivuac at a colleague. Therefore- announcement of the winners could take a couple of days. Please bear with me.

So Recently i had the opportunity to play Stargrave with my Local group of Friends and ultimately we had Decided that we loved the ruleset but also genuinely loved the 40k and Necromunda Aesthetic and Rather than learn another game we made the decision to combine the 2. As someone who's always played imperium forces i decided that this was my opportunity to go against my norm and chose Genestealer Cults, converted from Cawdor Models, using 3d printed components and Minor Sculpting i came about my 10man crew and even set about Creating the Gaming board 4x4 of densely populated Abandoned manufactorum. The first game we played was, Brutal to say the least. Here's the Crew/Gang Leader: First mate: Gunner: Sniper: Hacker: Chiseler: Runner: Recruits: Grenadier (If i feel like swapping out the Sniper): Striker (using the Giant Blooded profile from Frostgrave: I really tried to sell the idea that the Abberant model is swollen and bruised using a series of magenta and Cyan inks to suggest his existence is mostly painful More Posts coming soon with terrain.

I wouldn't trust this guy if I was you.

highlights revenue and profit up about 10/11% trade sales up by a far higher amount than online or retail licensing down almost 50% We reported in the 2025 annual report that new tariffs could impact profit before tax by c.£12 million in 2025/26. We have incurred c.£6.0 million in the period reported as a direct consequence of US tariff changes. The impact on our gross margin has been more than offset by efficiencies, price rises of c.3.5% on our miniatures and books, more stable commodity prices and lower stock write offs.

Hi everyone, my name is Raedbeard and I am new here. I painted my first model as a kid in the 90s and didn't actually play my first game until 2024. Since then I have built up up multiple armies, playing as Orks for some time until shifting over to Death Guard, Dark Angels and now really hyped for the Red Corsairs. Happy to be here and nice to meet you all!

Honestly I kinda (respectfully, emphasis mine) disagree. Kinda. I would like to see an "Imperial Cold War"- not a full on civil war, but rather the Lion and Guilliman having some serious disagreements on how to proceed (though not to the point of coming to blows), which loyalists of each Primarch take to ridiculous degrees and blow out of all proportion. As a result of these tired old men being treated as gods, this snowballs into elements of the Imperium closer-aligned to one of the two Primarchs coming into conflict, albeit usually as an indirect cause- one side will refuse to aid another side over the schism, leading to some form of retribution that will escalate into a small localized conflict, which the Primarchs will try and defuse... with little success. It'd be an interesting set piece for something that ISN'T a huge flashy apocalyptic mega war, and also provide justification for intra-Imperial fighting.

Since I have been snowed in because of a winter storm, I had some time for painting and finished my vow for January. Here are my assembled Lictor models (Deathleaper, Neurolictor and 3 Van Ryan's Leapers): Right now, I am repainting all the bases of my Tyranid army, since I realized that painting the toxic algae with the brighter green outside and the darker green inside looks much better than the other way round (that was how I had started out). Since the weather forecast for the coming days do not look much better and black ice is on the way, I have some more time for painting coming up. I will use the time to finish some of the started projects, and tomorrow, I would like to make a start on the halfway-painted Nurgle herald (which I dug up last week during a stock-take of my shelves of shame).

Completed Yellow squad. Here they are alone and with their platoon. Two more squads almost done, and tomorrow I finish them. There is only red Aquilas and some metallics aren't finished. Next gonna be second castellan who also almost done and need only drab and weapon to be painted .

Said it plenty of times on here but I think they erred when they deleted the 200 year timeskip set up in the original release of the Dark Imperium novel. They could have set so many neat stories and campaigns in that timespan, which is to say *narratives with a proper resolution* like Vraks or Badab, while also moving the status quo forward/filling in the history of the Indomitus Crusade. This whole "every campaign is set in 'the present'" thing has always struck me as misguided because it rests on non-existent tension. "Oh no, angron is back!!! Could this be the end for the Imperium of Man?!?!??" Uh no, I don't think it will be Keep your scenarios and stakes local, which is to say system or (sub)sector level. Set up interesting localities and scenarios like Badab, that people find interesting and want to perhaps explore/live out in their own games. The best 40k media, in my opinion, is the stuff that fleshes out a particular place, with it's own culture, quirks, variations on established factions, etc. Dark Heresy's calixis sector comes to mind, an absolutely fantastic setting. Ecclesiarchy? Sure, how about a unique sect in the form of the ascetic followers of st drusus while we're at it? I'm rambling, but I am frustrated with the direction 40k narratives (and the setting as a whole) are going in, with no sign of even a slight change in course. In my bitterness I find myself wishing the horus heresy novels never existed. I think too much HH rubbed off onto 40k.

It has been a while since I posted - both in general, and specifically in this thread. It's good to be sort of back. Motivated by the B&C Legio challenge, I got back to working on some Black Marines. While not Templars per se, they are Firstborn and black so I think it's not a stretch to post them here: And here are some closeu-ps on my first stabs at an OSL effect - the primary light source are the wires and claws: I didn't want to overdo them - I figured that the energy field should be subtle - hence just hints of it on the gold, knuckles and just some suggestions on the skull, sides of knees and tassets.

Yeah, absolutely agree with this. The rumoured Armageddon supplement is a perfect example of what could be a cool thematic look at the 2nd/3rd Aramgeddon Wars; one of the key historical events of the 41st Millennium, and one that I've got a lot of personal nostalgia and enthusiasm about. +The appeal of Armageddon+ There's a strong narrative: Ghazghkull's rise and attack, his first defeat and return; and his personal rivalry with Yarrick. A modern take on that could be amazing, with space for Orks, Imperial Guard, Space Marines (particularly BA, SW, UM, Salamanders and Black Templars), and also Leagues of Votann. Just picture it – character kits for Yarrick, Tu'Shan, Nazdreg and Mad Dok Grotsnik; Mark VII upgrade sprues and splash releases for Marines; kits for Steel Legion infantry and command squads... ... but as it is, I'm expecting the narrative to be slightly frustrating; retreading the broad strokes but not building on them, and focussing on stuff that's cool, but not really to do with the 'Orks versus the Guard on Armageddon'. I really like Yarrick as a character, and agree that his being killed off felt weird, but prefer that to him being reincarnated or dragged out a third time. He was pointedly an old man during the Second War of Armageddon, but he's a symbol more than a genuine threat to Ghazghkull – the Ahab to Ghazghkull's great white (void) whale. If you want a new Yarrick figure, build one properly. Look at how the character was developed, rather than dressing a new model in a corpse's robes. A talented Steel Legion character stumbling under the weight of expectation to 'be the new Yarrick' is far more compelling than 'that guy's son/daughter, who is just like that guy'. Apart from anything else, it'd be a great tongue-in-cheek nod to the audience – no-one's going to live up to Yarrick in-universe, so why not play on that out-of-universe for a bit of fun with the fans? The key thing is that there's still loads of room for innovation right in the material as already told – there was an entire orbital war that gets a few vague mentions. Ork Gargants fought Imperial Titans. The Officio Sabatorum and Templars Psykologis got their first (and so far only) mentions there. Ork Blitz Brigades and the innovations and advancements of 'Orkimedes'. There are entire continents to populate with warring troops and events. The Steel Legion, despite appearing in (presuamably) all four wars, have languished untouched since the days of white metal. How about a new Chimera – or a fleet of ork tanks? +Brave new worlds+ Beyond my personal hobby horse of Armageddon, I actually quite like the fact that the narratives usually trail off in GW's events like this. It's narratively unsatisfying not to know whether Cadia fell or the orks conquered Armageddon, but that's rather the point. GW's expansions used to live in a setting, where the expansions and events were a call for you to answer the questions of who won, what happened and how. Whether characters lived or died was down to us, the players. With an evolving timeline, that's not a good option. GW have proven with Age of Sigmar that an evolving setting can work (albeit with its own problems), but 40k seems caught in a situation where GW want to have their cake and eat it – and its this that's causing the lack of perma-death in 40k. Personally I prefer the setting approach, but I think the horse has bolted on that. For me, the best balance would be to have the expansions, events and supplements focussing on particular worlds or regions, with everything laid out like historical wargaming: 'such-and-such happened, so-and-so died – but here's your chance to see if you can do better, or explore what-ifs.' These would have their own unique characters – the sort of splash release which GW seems to do with things like the event exclusives or made to order – who you can use in other games, but are understood to have lived and died in one particular region and period. These special characters should emphasise the character, not the special. Prince Yriel, the Tyrant of Badab and (more recently) Haarken Worldclaimer and Titus are great examples of characters that feel like they can drive a world-shattering story, but don't really have a place in deciding the fate of the galaxy. Meanwhile, the ongoing 40k Grand Narrative should be less character-focussed, but provide a backdrop for these focal areas. Genuine immortals. mythic beings and galaxy-wide players like the Primarchs, Silent King etc. would have a good place here, but should stay largely out of the stories in expansions, events and supplements. They are 'big' enough not to need introducing in the same way as 'General One-world' does, and have an excuse to turn up wherever and whenever GW wants, and weather the storms of an ongoing narrative – just like the playable gods (Nagash, Teclis etc.) in Age of Sigmar do. They are great archetypes of factions, but overshadow anything that individual players or gaming groups do: you might kill Tycho, but you'll never kill Guilliman. Ghazghkull was a great character: an ambitious boss who may or may not have started hearing the voices of his gods after a bolt shell pulped part of his brain. He never needed to get bigger than he was on Armageddon. It doesn't improve or expand his character in a meaningful way – and the difference in narrative between Ghazghkull's earlier incarnation and his current one reduces his character to 'bigger and nastier'.

Painted the character conversion I showed off here last spring - here he is: This is the "meme" 3-pistol Exultant conversion I did mostly for the LOLs. I intend to use him in a variety of roles - for now, as a twin screamer Lord K until the actual GW model becomes available for sale again, possibly as an Exultant after that, and as my Cypher stand-in in my CSM army... that's why I went with the split colour scheme, the hooded head and the sword on the back. The model is more static than I might like (more Last Man Standing than Hard Boiled, for those familiar with those movies), but I'm still pretty happy with him.

I, Brother Christopher, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete 3 Terminators by month's end.

Lord Tristram d'Lyon, the Lion of Lyonesse, Keeper of the Gate, Captain of the Ardent Swords 1st Company. He's a proxy for Arjac Rockfist for my homebrew Chapter rules-wise and is made of bits from Abaddon, the Lion, Saturnine Praetor, random bits I had and greenstuff. Digital backdrop doing some heavy lifting

That is three crates done in 6 hours!

GW reasserted that they don't believe in using generative AI for Warhammer products as it should be Human Centric.

31 to 40 of Project 2025 #31 - Novamarines Bladeguard Veteran #32 - Imperius Reavers Intercessor Sergeant #33 - Death Strike Aggressor #34 - Lamenters Company Heroes Veteran #35 - Red Templar Outrider #36 - Pale Saints Company Heroes Veteran #37 - Black Talons Company Champion #38 - Ultramarines - 4th Company Ancient #39 - Angels Redeemed Heavy Intercessor #40 - Mephiston - Lord of Death - Blood Angels Chief Librarian

Well finished the contemptor more or less, the scheme is a work in progress still. Can't configure well the camera, the mini is of a darker blue, but the camera makes it look more vivid. I should do better transitions for the glow of the lightning, still a wip. Next I'm gonna do a Rhino and a test Night raptor before I tackle the full squad.

So with the launch of Saturnine I decided to break away from my Blood Angels and start a new legion, Iron Warriors. And why not start BIG! With a repaint of an OG Baneblade. I practiced on the rhino and home made whirlwind launcher (you can see the metal difference in the launcher, didnt like it ) then I painted the Baneblade. I bought the Baneblade way back in the day when it first released and it has been sitting around painted green and black camo (Catachan scheme) for several decades. I am keeping my Iron Warriors paint scheme simple and relatively quick. Only thing I want to do to these tanks is add pigments to the tracks but I am waiting on an order of some AK liquid pigments to try out. On the painting table is the 40 marines from the Saturnine box. They are built and airbrushed metal. I will try and get a step by step of the paint scheme as I paint my first batch of infantry.

January I, Strikemaster JuliusAgricola , embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete 1 x Lieutenant w/ Combi Weapon, 5 x Deathwing Knights, and 5 x Incursors by month's end. The incursors are half done, but I need to get them over the line. Might be pushing it for 18 days but I'll give it a go!

I imagine they realized they’d have to hire local New Yorkers to staff it if they put it in New York and didn’t want to deal with the inevitable problem of Warhammer World staff fist fighting tourists.

Hey Loyalist and Heretics! I'm BrassClaw, I have been once an more active member of this forum back in 2022. Now I'm back again. I'm a bit more involved with writing fiction now. Although I still collect Worldeaters, Tyranids and Traitor Guard. I have added my own homebrew Space Marine chapter to my collection since I have been gone. Cheers, Brassclaw

I live in the WV panhandle and my job is in the government contracting Mecca called Fairfax County. I can get to anywhere in the greater DC metro area in 90 minutes or less. I've seen the old battle bunker spot in Glenn Burnie mentioned some here and elsewhere, and I don't think that's going to be the location. The coastal stretches of Maryland are too crowded in both population and traffic to make access easy. Try driving on the Balitmore-Washington Parkway and you'll be pulling your hair out. Baltimore itself hasn't been the murder capital of the country in a few years (I think...St Louis holds the crown right now?), but it's still up there. Not exactly conducive to attracting hobby tourists. But NOVA? Fairfax County is primed for this. It's one of the wealthiest areas in the country, and that stretch from the DC line down the I-95 corridor to Richmond is rich in wargamers. This entire area, you have to remember, is where 90% of the major battles of the US Civil War happened. Gettysburg is slightly farther afield, but I can get to Antietam in about 25 minutes from my house. Manassas (aka Bull Run), Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville -- you can't throw a rock without hitting a road sign directing you to one battlefield or another. I don't know if it's causation or correlation, but there's loads of gaming that happens around here. When I lived in Daytona Beach, FL I had to drive 45 minutes into Orlando to find a game store. Here, I'm literally spoiled for choice. Martinsburg, Fredricksburg, Alexandria, Ashburn, Richmond, Hagerstown (two there), College Park, Winchester (there's a GW store there), and even down to Harrisonburg, VA. That's just off the top of my head, and not even mentioning any place in Pennsylvania! And the idea that there's no crossover between historical gamers and 40K players doesn't hold true, at least around here. My point is, NOVA is a good choice for attracting business. It's wealthy, it's heavily populated enough, the DC metro lines run out to places like Fall's Church and Reston, and the saturation point of potential customers (i.e., gamers) will definitely be hit.

The 95 corridor, which DC is on, is the most densely populated part of the country. DC is small, but NoVA is huge and has millions of people. DC also has the most resources for foreign travelers like a high number of hotels with multi-lingual staffs in languages besides English and Spanish. It’s got two major international airports and believe it or not, the last of our actual trains that go places. You can also get cars with minimal fuss. DC itself is very small, and there’s no chance they can afford to put it there so they’ll put it in NoVA if they’re smart or Maryland if the person spearheading this doesn’t believe in going somewhere to check it out before making multimillion dollar decisions.

Now we need one in Tokyo, Canberra and Cairo to complete the secret intercontinental scheme by GW to rule the world!

Ayanga, Mehrig Khan of the Storm Lords on his mount, Khums: Pretty chuffed to finally have a proppa mounted Captain for the 5th, and he was wicked fun to paint. Cheers, The Good Doctor.

Argh, clubs, what is this tech heresy, Why can't I see what I'm trying to do? (end old man fumbling). For plodding along (should we have a separate tab/thread/doodad/whatever it's called for plodding alongs?) I have my two: 1 - Complete all LI stuff I owned at the start of the year (and the bits I failed last year). This is: approx 3/4 of the large industrial terrain box 3 Malcador Infernus 4 Leman Russ 8 Sabres 1 Saturnine bulk box And the 'true' HH scale Solar Auxillia Leman Russ. 2 - Stop collecting unpainted kill team stuff - this is paint a minimum of six things more than I buy. Each team or terrain set from a box or stand alone team counts as one. For January (as I doubt we'll have any undercoating weather in time to achieve anything) I'm just looking at finishing off the in flight terrain bits I didn't complete January and then getting ahead on the builds

Well that explains that then! Quite a convincing edit, though I will say even aside from the eye being on the wrong side, that power claw is far too small! Either that or Yarrick got absolutely yoked between Armageddon Wars so he can bench-press Ghaz. "Zog me, you'z gotten big!" "Says the ork whose base has more than doubled in size since last we met!" "...You know wot, dat's fair, kan't argue wiv dat. I'm still not sure wot ol' Grotsnik wuz finkin' wiv da serjery. "You'll look so intimidatin'!" 'e sez. "You'z gonna be da biggest, baddest boss in da galaxy!" Well dat's all very well an' good, but I kan't fit in me battlewagon now! Zoggin' skale kreep..."

I, Llagos_Tyrant, embark on the 12 Months of Hobby Challenge, and for the month of January pledge to complete 5 Vanguard Veterans, 3 Crates, and one Rhino Wreck terrain piece by month's end.

I, Tallarn Commander, vow to paint for the month of January: 3 Chaos Possessed Karneth, Saul, and Asmund, members of "Squad Bloodhowl," Warborn Khornate Chaos Space Marines warband The Blood Wolves, "We answered the call"

A fair amount of this work was done during the holiday season and I am just getting around to logging the progress. Here are some shots of in progress units I have been working on. Tactical Troop Squads Herald and Siege Breaker Consuls (the Herald will have Dusk Raider legacy Power Fist and Pauldrons) A few tanks that I am starting the weathering process on adding brown/ black chipping on the edges. Spartan Assault Tank Typhon Heavy Siege

Love the idea of a warp talon trying to get a grenade from his pouch whilst trying not to lacerate himself with his own talons.

Dawn of fire may have been a wet blanket of a series, but Sea of Souls from Chris Wraith was a fantastic book and is near totally focussed on the Navy, tho mostly the mission of a single ship. Great read.

Watch we'll go full circle but instead of dkok being represented by a repainted steel legion mini it'll be a repainted dkok as a steel legion mini

I'm at this point. Seems like every single bit of the story "moving forward" has been some kind of re-hash. I'd say this is worse than an actually stagnant setting just getting campaign books that take place in the setting's past.

“I, Grotsmasha, pledge to keep track of 100% of my Hobby budget for 2026 from the dawn of January 1st 2026, through January 1st 2027. Whether I exceed that or turn that into savings / investments / emergency funds, I'll know where my money is." My budget is as follows: - Warhammer+ Annual Sub - Warhammer+ 2nd Sub model - <$100AU per month - Combat Patrol Sub should it launch in Oz (this will replace the monthly $100AU)
