Gargoylian Alert!
More of my favorite little creatures are coming out! The 2026 AdeptiCon preview has a trifecta of critters! Check these things out! I’ve taken the liberty to provide them names.
White Dwarf 522 – Idoneth Deepkin in Darkwater
The March 2026 (White Dwarf 522) has card inserts for 3.5 Idoneth Deepkin heroes in the Jade Abbey (Icthil and Dorentar are alternate assemblies of the same model). Don’t miss Always Board Never Boring’s video: The Heroes: For a grand total of: $150.00 U.S. (plus tax). Ummmm… What? Four minis. $150+ Icthil The miniature is an Ikon of the Sea $40.00 U.S. Dorentar The miniature is an Ikon of the Storm $40.00 U.S. Narind The miniature is an Akhelian Thrallmaster $35.00 U.S. Vahadris The miniature is an Isharann Soulrender $35.00 U.S. As much as I love “official” minis… These expansion characters are pretty steep (deep?). But remember! You can use any minis you want. There are some decent 3D proxies available at myminifactory.com Alternatively, you could pick up the Warhammer Underworlds Direchasm Elathain’s Soulraid box for around a quarter of the price of “official” minis and get a reasonable assortment of…
Sci-Fi or Fantasy?
They’re both fantastical non-reality settings where magic may or may not be real (but probably is). For a long time I was a bigger sci-fi fan than fantasy, though I never viewed them as mutually exclusive. And I’m sure there was a time that I didn’t really think of them being separate things. I’m pretty sure my perception of these things was a fiction/non-fiction viewpoint. With modern Games Workshop games, the line has really blurred. A picture of a GW game table could really go either way. It takes closer examination to make a sci-fi/fantasy determination. <– Here’s a typical scene There’s power armor, blasters, monsters, mysticism, and an otherworldly landscape. To the uninitiated, this sure could look like sci-fi. But no! It’s fantasy! …with blasters and power armor… So, I’d say that what Games Workshop is doing now very much blends sci-fi with fantasy. That’s probably smart considering how…
White Dwarf 521 – Lumineth in Darkwater
The February 2026 (White Dwarf 521) has card inserts for Four Aelven heroes, ready to delve into the Jade Abbey. Don’t forget to check out the video from Always Board Never Boring: The Heroes: For a grand total of: $148.5 U.S. (plus tax). Ummmm… What? Four minis. $150+ Iladrein Sunblande The miniature is a Vanari Lord Regent $43.50 U.S. Taysha of Tor Limina The miniature is a Scinari Enlightener $35.00 U.S. Zenthil Taior The miniature is a Scinari Loreseeker $35.00 U.S. The Lady Mylathir The miniature is a Scinari Cathallar $35.00 U.S. As much as I love “official” minis, I’m all about proxies to make games more affordable. I haven’t looked too hard, but I didn’t really see any good free or cheap STLs online. A pretty good option is Myari’s Purifiers from the Order Warbands: Heroes and Hunters set. These can be purchased from shuckers on eBay (or similar)…
What’s on the Table?!
Star Borg! One of my amazing game buddies ran a session of Star Borg. It was a blast! We all survived, though we’re slightly dismembered. We picked up a pilot, grabbed a data cache, stole a ship, and blew up the base on the way out! It was really fun. All our characters are very “characterful”, though a bit wimpy. We also played Let’s Dig for Treasure twice. Always good for a laugh!
White Dwarf 520 – Ghouls in Darkwater
Warhammer Quest: Darkwater has its first expansion content. Ghouls. I’ve been a little slow making posts about Darkwater updates because they’ve been coming out in White Dwarf magazines. I’m incredibly fortunate to have a subscription to White Dwarf, however, that means that my issues aren’t delivered until midway through the following month. So, I’m a bit delayed. No big deal. As always, check out the video from ABNB: So, I just received my copy of White Dwarf 520 and will soon check out what the Flesheater Courts bring to the labyrinthine corridors of the Jade Abby. The Heroes: For a grand total of: $168.00 U.S. (plus tax). Ummmm… What? Four minis. $170+ Rawthroat Gorse The miniature is a Marrowscroll Herald $39.00 U.S. Porvyle the Bold The miniature is a Royal Decapitator $39.00 U.S. Friar Skinseam The miniature is an Abhorrant Cardinal $42.00 U.S. Bledivir Blackwing The miniature is an Abhorrant…
What is time? And why there isn’t enough of it
I’m not entirely sure I think about time the same as the typical person. There never seems to be enough time. Not enough time to get projects tone, Things take longer than expected. Rushing from one thing to another. Suddenly finding time on your hands, but not being able to do the thing you’ve been meaning to do. Or, have some time, but not enough to dig into a bigger project. Transitions from one activity to the next. That can really chew up time too. Why does it go by too fast when you’re having fun, but is painful torture when you’re in agony? Should we all be miserable to make our perceived lives longer? I’m asking these questions as someone who wants to play more games, paint more minis and have more fun, but is just kinda busy. Sure, yes, I’ve been waylaid with a pretty nasty cold the…
OMG WHQ!!
Check out these WHQ minis!!! 😍 😍 😍 Someone loved this set!! This is a new listing at Noble Knight games.🤩 🤩 🤩
What’s on the Table?!
Warhammer Quest: Darkwater We defeated Foulhoof with our last hero! Whew! It went from easy, to nearly impossible, to just squeezing it out! Drolf was pretty beaten up, but still ran some interference for the rest of the team. We’ve finished Act I and have now unlocked the bonus heroes. We’re interested to see where this goes next!
More Thoughts about Warhammer Fantasy Battle
So, if say, I did actually pick up and start playing WFB, do I tell people that I play “Warhammer”? Because that’s what the game is. People will think I play 40k though. Jordan Sorcery has a great series on WFB. I really recommend checking it out. It’s made me think about what I’m looking for in a game. I’m not positive I’m really looking for a mega-tactical war simulation. A mild and friendly herohammer experience actually sounds kinda fun. Plus, I wouldn’t have to field massive battalions of troops. I can get by with a few sets of guys with some heroes added in. We’ll see, I still haven’t assigned much time and zero money to making this happen. I think I’ve always been reticent is that I figure I’ll get trounced. My general “game strategy” is to dive in headlong and swinging as hard as I can. Turns…
