Awsome 40k Fan Art.
I realize that I’m turning this blog into an all things Warhammer 40k blog, but that’s ok. Because I really like 40k and find it’s universe to be broad and engaging, while I find the fan base to be incredibly creative and resourceful, from producing fanzines and homebrew codex, building crazy mini conversions and magnificent DIY titans. The community is the real heart of 40k. Every time Games Workshop has to clip away another bit of their universe or drop another specialist game miniature range due to monetary and resource constraints, the fans are right there, filling the void and going above and beyond. Soon, I believe there might be more fan authored materials for the game than official products. But I’m straying off topic. I just found this photobucket album full of beautiful 40k images and comics, created by Aerion the Faithful. They are inspiring and fun, and just another example of how the fans of this game really work hard to bring it to life. Enjoy.
Firebase #7 is out.
The 40k fans favorite ezine has another glorious issue. This issue is a huge 163 page monster, jammed full of battle reports modeling articles and convention coverage. The team at Firebase has been growing and it seems the talent pool is getting really crowded this summer. Having seen some hard times in the past this free and entirely fan produced zine is a real labor of love and it seems to really be hitting it’s stride. Go grab yourself a copy right now!

Macharian Crusade.
Welcome to Christmas in July. The fine gents at Bell of Lost Souls, known as the Fly Lords of Terra, have worked long and hard on a very professional home brew book for the Macharian Crusade, a rules set that allows players of Warhammer 40k to engage in battles during, “greatest Imperial Crusade in the last 10,000 years.” The incredible quality and workmanship make this free pdf a visual joy to behold. Formatted to be printed it can easily be manifested in the pulp for you tactile pleasures. These folks work hard on these books and it truely shows.

Giant Robots, Martians, and Lovecraftian Horrors.
Privateer Press has a new miniature board game coming out this October, Monsterpocalypse, and it looks like fun. Prepainted minis of gargantuan beasties and robot death machines thrashing it out in downtown, brings back fond memories of lazy Saturday afternoons watching back to back Godzilla movies on TV. This game has been brewing for a while I’ve just been slow at posting it here. They have a really well developed site with lots of updates and pretty pictures. Besides the minis being released in blind booster packs, so you don’t knw what your buying till you’ve already bought it, I might have to get this one. It reminds me alot of Gammarauders. Why doesn’t somebody do an updated version of that game with minis?
