It’s a good time to be working on 40k. The new 8th edition books are being released and new kits seem to come out weekly. I’ve primarily focused on my Black Templars, but I can’t resist a new toy, so over the weekend I grabbed a Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought along with a Space Marine codex.… Read More Primaris Redemptor Dreadnought

During the Thanksgiving weekend I assembled a pair of the new plastic M18 Hellcat kits produced by Italeri for Warlord Games. I had already completed and reviewed a pair of the fantastic resin Trenchworx Hellcat kits, and I wanted to write up a comparison of the plastic versus the resin kits for anyone deciding on… Read More Warlord Games plastic M18 Hellcat

Andrew ordered a Jagdtiger, Jagdpanther and a Marder III, which he’ll review when he gets them assembled.
