Guilliman Returns!

Games Workshop have gotten ahead of the rumour-mill and announce that for the first time in 10 millennia a true son of the Emperor will walk the stars. Guilliman returns!

Gathering Storm III is going to be the latest release in a major advancement of the 40k universe narrative. It is big news for the Ultramarines, but I am left looking at the horizon with a little trepidation. Guilliman being the first to return to the loyalists leaves him open to a fast power creep and the end time narrative also heralded the literal end of the Warhammer franchise.

Leaping over this trepidation though, it is monumental news and exciting enough to get me back to building, painting, playing and (when I remember) blogging.

Battle for Mcragge

On the 25th of Jan to celebrate the release of the new Tyranid codex Hulls Angels are having a 40k game of 40k. I am providing 20k of Space Marines who will be duly butchered as they hunker down in trenches and try to repel the gribbley invaders. This epic undertaking requires that I complete 5 companies of Marines in just 2 weeks. I am finishing the 1st, 8th, 9th and 10th and building the 7th from scratch. It might not all be painted, but I am looking forward to some time off work and this epic undertaking.
