Warhammer 40K
Warhammer 40K is the primary game of all the authors here. Some of us have played 40K since the beginning and others later on in its life. It’s a game we all love and thoroughly enjoy, which is why we blog about it all the time.
The articles here are all over the place. Most of what you will find is Warhammer 40K related hobby stuff like painting, sculpting and converting. We do also share battle reports of our 40K games and usually each week you can find a new one posted. Occasionally you can find strategy and tactics articles as well, though that’s not our focus. We most definitely are a hobby focused group here.
So, if you enjoy Warhammer 40K then check out all the articles we have on it. You should find something of interest to you.
