Games Workshop stores will be staying open late and hosting all sorts of dark future fun and games, on July 11th for the big release of 5th ed. Check out this flier I found on Bell of Lost Souls.
I hope I can make it out for this one. I went out to our local Stony Point store, for the midnight Apocalypse release and had a pretty good time, blasting on 10,000 points of Imperial guard and Space Marines with my new custom Big Mek Stompa.
Avatars of War, a small miniatures company from Spain, has a small but incredible selection of generals and warlords for you fantasy army. Their newest release is the Goblin King, a great big champion mini with a wagon load of character. Armed with a stolen Dwarven axe and sporting a Dwarven crown this fella is really looks the part of nefarious Goblin King.
The other minatures in their shop are all brilliant scuplts too and would make get center pieces for any army. Check out their site at avatars-of-war.com. You can order them from coolminiornot.com which is were I found the above pic.
This September Games Workshop is releasing their new 5th edition rules box set, Assault on Black Reach. Here are some scans of the packaging that have been posted at Warseer.com.
Perfect for beginners, this set looks to be the best one yet. The plastic minis are very detailed and attest to the success of GW’s new molding procedures. The set comes with templates, dice, a mini version of the full rule book and all the models seen pictured. Since I’m a particularly biased Ork player, I’ll be getting it for the deff coptas alone! Oh but don’t forget the plastic nobs, and the warboss, and the boyz. This big ole box set might just leave me with a lot of Space Marine models that need to be traded off here at Goblin Mini-Mart come September so all you beakies stay tuned.

Lock your doors and hide the women and children. Games workshop is taking preorders for their big summer fantasy release, the Dark Elves army book. All sorts of fun models are coming out in support.
Check it out here.
We will be seeing a lot of the Tech Priests of Mars and their God Machines later this year. Pre-orders are up at Amazon for Titanicus, Dan Abnetts new Sabbat Crusade book. Set in the same theatre of war as the Gaunts Ghost classic series, the book follows the story of the Adeptus Titanicus Imperial War Machines. Also on pre-order status at Amazon is the new Horus Heresy book, Mechanicum, by Graham McNeil. The 9th book in the series after Ben Counters, Battle for the Abyss. I’ve been really enjoying both the Horus Heresy series and Dan Abnetts Sabbat Crusade books, they bring the Warhammer 40k game to a new level for me. The models and rule set bring lots of table top fun, but it is the background stories and epic tales that have kept me coming back since Rogue Trader days.
Preorder some books!
