 | Orks havent been getting a huge amount of love lately, but with the current Black Library The Beast Arises storu arc happening, it looks like Games Workshop are giving them a little bit of love via a rerelease of the Sanctus Reach miniatures. Last week we saw Krom from that set being released on his own for the Space Wolf side, not the Orks get some fire support in the form of his bodyguard. These are nice minis, chunky as all Hell - as Orks should be, lets be honest. This issue, thankfully, does not dwell on this release. There are also some repackaged Tau, some very nice looking decals, a fair few books plus some very nicely painted minis. It's a bit of a collection of all kinds of things and like last week doesnt master any of them particularly. There is however a preview of a cracking Red Scorpions army from the next Warhammer Visions. + + More After The Jump + + |
As I said earlier, these miniatures were first available in the very limited Sanctus Reach boxed set. I should add that the Sanctus Reach boxed set also had Krom (released last week) and the first mini version of The Rules. Bit of a trail blazer that one...
These minis are quite nice, but they aren't totally multi -part and pretty static. Grukk is amazing though. What a mini!! In terms of value, this set is pretty good. Six minis including a character for $90 AUD.

Oh look, here's an ad for Start Collecting Orks! Surprise...
The new Codex supplement Waaagh Ghazghkull looks good. Instead of lumbering around your multiple Codex you can just take this along and be part of the largest Ork catastrophe to hit the 41st millenium.
At $56, this comes in around the same price as the rest, but interestingly more than the recent compendiums of material put together for Age of $igmar. Granted this book promises a lot more, but does it deliver? Ork fans, let us all know...

Meanwhile, here's a Tau command section in a box.
The Tau combine the power of the Ethereals with the brute tactical force of a Tau commander to lead their forces. The Ethereal model was only previously available in a boxed set. Overall $105 AUD for a command section is probably not bad. The Commander Battlesuit is very cool indeed.

Commander Farsight is The Man when it comes to Tau commanders.
He's got a flashy rred ssuit aand can go pew pew better than anyone. Tau players go nuts for the guy, so the rerelease of his Codex will have some little blue men fans very happy.
Also in terms of new stuff, these awesome new decal sheets look great.
The Tau Enclaves one also includes exclusive decals for non-Fire Caste Tau and the Ork decals have some very colourful and neat looking ones too.

You thought there was nothing new under the sun, well these new Supremacy Tactical Objectives will certainly spice up your game.
Two new Heresy era products; the new Pharos book which sounds pretty cool and Grey Talon, an audio drama centering on the Shattered Legions, the current cool kids for Black Library.

With more 'A's' than the Aaron Aardvark family reunion, Skaarac just goes to show that a bag of spikey bits has exploded at Forge World HQ. A big Khorne beastie, he's not a happy lad.
Eisenhorn: Xenos is a new game i now nothing about but looks pretty. It has Mark Strong as ond of the voice actors and he's AWESOME, so it must be good...

Now this is a damn cool army. Personally the Red Scorpions bore me silly, but the way Ben Ballard has mixed the different armour marks together here is so awesome. There is a level of detail here rarely seen to create some really individual characters. Mightily impressive. This army will also feature in Warhammer Visions very soon and will undoutably be the highlight of that issue.

Here we get a look at 3 amazing squads, James Karch's Space Wolves, Matthew Hutson's Imperial Fist (some of the best Fists I have ever seen) and Dan Harden's Skitarii
All 3 of these are truly excellent. Well worth a look.

Paint Splatter looks at Grukk and Krom in the tutorial this week. The Grukk one is a very good example of Ork skin so worth a look and Krom is pretty standard fair. Nothing special.
Grukk loves you and wants you to read his rules... sure man, we're here for you!! A great mini. BIG...
Verdict
Toward the end of this issue there is a short passage about the Tau about to encounter the Tyranids. Now that's going to hurt. Our little buddies better adapt pretty fast...

So over all this issue has something for a lot of 40K fans, but doesnt centre on any in particular.
As far as issues go, there is some nice inspiration, especially with the armies of contributors. Again, those Red Scorpions might be rivaling the best looking armies i have seen, in terms of bitz selection, with the Space Wolves force at Warhammer Sydney - and its amazing.
Pot of Paint vs WhitDwarf?
White Dwarf this week purely for the great looking armies chosen.
