Trazyn the Infinite is getting in on the action on Cadia:
Thief or Savior?

Of all the protagonists who are fighting on Cadia, Trazyn the Infinite is without a doubt the strangest. It is curiosity that drives him to Cadia, but he plays an important role in the first volume of the saga, Gathering Storm. Of course, some people are none too happy to see him, such as Belisarius Cawl. In spite of this, the Archmagos understands that the arrival of Trazyn in these dark hours is no mere coincidence. The Necron knows (or claims to know) the secrets of the pylons of Cadia. He also has another role to play, especially when he opens his tesseract crypts and releases his Imperial prisoners to fight the armies of Abaddon. But in this case, how will he make up for his rare collection?

I got the Army Painter mega paint set for Christmas so I spent all day today laying the layers on Carl, Shane and Carl from The Walking Dead: All Out War. I don't have much experience really but I'm really enjoying painting them. The models feel chunky with areas where you can block in colour really nicely but they still have plenty of detail to them. I think I'm ready to lay down some shades tomorrow but I might touch up one or two of the layers first with an extra coat. I think I'll use a flesh shade for their skin but just go for a dark shade for everything else, rather than coloured shades. Although I haven't yet decided. I like dark shades but now that I have shades of every colour I feel like I should maybe experiment.

The new Lord of Change:
Image
Get your first look at the incredible new Lord of Change miniature sculpted by the very talented Mark Harrison (though miniature is maybe not quite be the right word) on its way later this Tzaanuary.

This towering Daemon of Tzeentch stands as tall as a Bloodthirster and sits alongside Magnus, Nagash and the Imperial Knight as one of the most iconic and imposing centerpiece miniatures in the whole Citadel range.
Every inch of this model is dripping in detail: esoteric runes, staring eyes, magical books, arcane scrolls and more besides – it’s a painter’s dream, especially when combined with the myriad colour schemes that Tzeentch’s greatest daemonic champions lend themselves to.

The kit can also be used to create Kairos Fateweaver, the notorious and fickle two-headed Daemon of past and future destinies. We’ll have some shots of this build for you very soon.

You can, of course, use this model in games of Warhammer 40,000 or Warhammer Age of Sigmar. For battles in the Mortal Realms, an updated Warscroll for this arcane behemoth will feature in the upcoming Disciples of Tzeentch Battletome.

In Warhammer 40,000, his rules remain unchanged from those in Codex: Chaos Daemons, though the recent War Zone: Fenris books, Curse of the Wulfen and Wrath of Magnus do both contain some new spells, artifacts and Formations he can use, as part of a standard Daemon force or a pure host of Tzeentchian warp-spawn.

The Lord of Change will be available to order later this month.

Change as they say, is coming.

Beautiful.

I visited Dice Saloon in Brighton which is a great independent parlour/shop/cafe with loads of different games and boards and scenery for all to use.

There was this sweet ship based looking game. Affordable resin and soft metal minis with boxes of plastic larger ships.

A combination of good decisions by the new boss, great new products and the falling pound have really boosted GW:
Profits soar at Games Workshop as fantasy model retailer battles back from slump

Games Workshop has battled back from a tough 2015 to post much-improved figures for the second half of last year, with revenues soaring and pre-tax profit more than doubling.

The Nottingham-based company, which is known for its model figures, saw profit before tax leap to £13.8m in the six months to November 27, compared to £6.3m for the same period in 2015.

Games Workshop also saw revenues jump 28.2pc from £55.3m to £70.9m, with chief executive Kevin Rountree saying the business and the hobby is in “good shape”.

The company’s share price climbed nearly 5pc in early trading on Tuesday morning.

Pour some of that dosh into new videogames or other media endeavors, will you? I could use some games set during whatever maelstrom is about to engulf the 40k universe, or the Horus Heresy.

Allowing small squad play won't diminish the big battles, though. In fact, allowing bite-sized skirmish warfare could be a great gateway for beginners who could be drawn into building larger armies.


This is why things like Kill Team exist.

Videogames are entirely a licensing endeavour. Get some decent companies to pay for the IP and you can have whatever you want.

Not great but here's my attempt at Rick, Carl and zombie Shane from The Walking Dead: All Out War.

Any tips for painting eyes? I can't do them very well and they look pretty derpy.

Try painting them black first and try to just highlight the white of the eye with the brush at a sideways angle. You can use a very light grey for that - eyes aren't actually white. Then use a treble gauge hairpoint brush to make the pupil with some black.

We have a tendency to paint eyes much bigger than they are. Make sure they're not too close to the bridge of the nose and that the pupils are symmetrical, it's hard but you can pretend they're looking at something.

Eldar are getting some love now too:
A new god is born as a dying race awakens their chance for rebirth…

We’ve already seen some pretty epic events in the Gathering Storm series in book I, Fall of Cadia.

Well, you haven’t seen anything yet.

Check out this trailer for the second part of the Gathering Storm and see the miniatures that herald the awakening of a new god in the 41st Millennium…

Anther Warhammer Quest box set coming:
Image

Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower was one of the highlights of last year’s Warhammer Age of Sigmar releases (and that’s saying a lot, because there were some great ones). The return of the classic format, but set in the Mortal Realms, was an instant hit, and we’ve been bombarded ever since with questions about a follow on game.

Well, today we’re delighted to reveal that one is on the way.

Warhammer Quest Shadows over Hammerhal will be an entirely self contained game with a whole new cast of heroes and villains.

We’re very excited about this for all sorts of reasons. The game will obviously see new quests and challenges for gamers, but perhaps just as excitingly, this set will have an even more involved narrative, and will explore the dark labyrinths beneath one of Sigmar’s new Free Cities: Hammerhal, the twin-tailed city – a metropolis that is built around a Realmgate and sprawls across two realms!

This new set is a little ways off yet, but we were super excited, and we just wanted to share it with you.

My current job is up for grabs now I'm leaving GW, if anyone's an editor. Come work for Black Library!
