The first of my Inquisition stormtroopers have marched off my painting table—but a few reinforcements are needed before they hit the tabletop. My desire for a military arm to the Inquisition stems from a series of scenarios that I’ve developed for Inquisitor Serillian of the Ordos Xenos, who […]
When I wrote the history of the world of Morkai, I included a story of how House Fenring—an itinerant Imperial Knight House—arrived on my beloved desert world with an offer to Imperial authorities: The Imperial Knights would end the decade-long chaos in the hive city of Charcharoth in exchange […]
There are so many boxes of 40K figures on my shelf that buying more seems irresponsible. But I’ve never known that logic to stop a fanatic hobbyist before, and it hasn’t stopped me. So when I had a hankering to buy some Tallarn warriors, I checked out the […]
As with the rest of the Warhammer 40K universe, the Corvus Cluster is a dangerous place–filled with all manner of evil-doers. So when I had the opportunity to pick up a collection of Forge World cultist bitz at a recent convention (at a great price), I jumped at […]

The Gaffer found a handful of old Games Workshop Ratlings in his bitz box and shared them with me, as I’m building an Imperial Guard army. Much of the paint had been stripped off, but there were a few patches where the paint had stubbornly refused to fall away. […]
One fun thing about learning a new wargame is to gain a good understanding of terrain rules. In Warhammer, scenario objectives are clearly built into the rules and players get to lay down their objective markers. For our first couple of games we rolled “the Scouring” three times! The […]
I’ve always known I was a paint-by-numbers kind of guy. Give me a miniature with well-defined lines, and I can put the right color in the right area. I can even hold my paintbrush steady enough to do a fairly decent eyebrow. But I won’t win any painting […]
