Codex Pictures released the first full length CGI film for Warhammer 40K just this last December. Some minor production hiccups delayed most international shipping to those of us fanboys here in the States. But I can say that for this 40K-Space Marine Playing-Movie Loving- enthusiast the wait was well worth it. One of the things [...]
This is perhaps my favorite kind of list to play as I’m a very cinematic gamer. I love setting up huge game boards with all kinds of terrain that tells a story, not just haphazardly thrown on the table. My most enjoyable games are usually when one side or another is functioning at a disadvantage [...]
I’ve been collecting 40K armies as a gamer for well over 20 years, but it has only been over the last 5 or 6 that I have started collecting old and limited edition models purely for the enjoyment of having unusual figures in my collection. A lot of collectors of old Games Workshop models tend [...]
Continuing the Intro to 40K series, we now are looking at the first of three examples of general list categories for Warhammer 40,000. For simplicity and continuity we will be using a 1500 point Space Marine list in all the articles, since that is a manageable point size and most people’s introduction to 40K comes [...]
We’re back with another installment in the Intro to 40K series! Today, we’re talking about list building.

The forces of the Empire are serving the divine will of their God-Emperor in preserving humanity against all those baddies we mentioned last week. The forces are broken into three basic groups: the masses of the Imperial Guard, the superhuman Space Marines, and the militant forces of the Inquisition\Ecchlesiarchy. The backbone of the Emperor’s forces [...]
Let’s start out with some fluff: The Ultramarines were the 13th of the original 20 Space Marine Legions. Their Primarch was Roboute Guilliman, whose leadership (not to mention the Codex Astartes) were instrumental in humanity’s survival following the Horus Heresy. The Ultramarines are possibly the most important Imperial organization on the Eastern Fringe. The Ultramarines [...]
Welcome wargamers. If you can spare a few moments of your time, I’d like to request your help in learning more about the thought processes behind your passion for wargaming. The first thing that I want to make clear here is the term Grognard. Grognards are wargamers. Grognards are not, by definition, roleplayers. The term [...]
The Army Painter is a small enterprise in Denmark, spearheaded by two guys to been heavily involved in the industry: Bo Penstoft (who worked for 10 years for Games Workshop – the last 6 years as their Northern European Head of Marketing) and Jonas Faering (a former Games Workshops ’Eavy Metal team master painter.)
