Battletome Vol 1: Warcry Review and Our Miniatures Gaming and Hobby Projects
Enter, Ye Gods of War! In Volume One of Battletome, a podcast about the miniatures gaming hobby, Bender, Aaron and Jamie discuss all the games and hobby project they've been getting into lately including Aeronautica Imperialis, Kings of War: Armada, Warhammer 40,000 9th edition, Aaron's Kharadron Overlords Age of Sigmar Army, Don't Look Back, Blood Bowl Second Season and the Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy. Then Aaron and Jamie give a full review of Games Workshop's small model count, fantasy skirmish miniatures game, Warcry!
Age of Sigmar: Warcry
This is Warcry – a new skirmish game from the makers of Kill Team and Warhammer Underworlds that allows you to experience the visceral carnage of battle in the Mortal Realms in a whole new way. In the game, you’ll follow the myriad tribes of Chaos – reavers and despoilers from every corner of the realms – as they make their dark pilgrimage to the Varanspire. Warcry explores a never-before-seen side of life (and death!) in the Age of Sigmar. Every model for this game is brand new, reflecting on the dizzying diversity of Chaos on a scale never attempted before and rooted in rich lore that realises the servants of the Dark Gods as deep and varied cultures.
Aeronautica Imperialis
The Aeronautica Imperialis: Wings of Vengeance boxed set includes everything you need to play exciting games of aerial combat between aircraft from the Imperial Navy and the Ork Air Waaagh! The Aeronautica Imperialis: Skies of Fire boxed set includes everything you need to play exciting games of aerial combat between aircraft from the Astra Militarum and the T'au Air Caste.
Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition
Welcome to Warhammer 40,000, the thrilling hobby of tabletop wargaming! The game is set in the grim darkness of the far future, where mighty armies clash on countless war-torn worlds and Humanity stands alone, beset on all sides by the threats of the heretic, the mutant and the alien. There is no mercy. There is no respite. Prepare yourself for battle.
Kings of War: Armada
Armada is a tabletop game for two or more players. Choose your side and then command a fleet of Mantic miniatures to represent powerful navies such as the stoic and pious Basileans, or plot carnage and destruction with the rampaging orcs. With a range of beautiful ship models to choose from and many stories to tell, Armada is truly an amazing spectacle to play and witness. The 96-page rulebook contains the core rules, 10 action-packed scenarios, and advanced rules for potentially devastating weather effects.
Don’t Look Back
Written by Matt Burns and published by Black Site Studios, Don’t Look Back is a solo or cooperative tabletop miniatures game where you create a cinematic experience in a world of suspense and terror. Players control four heroes against a randomly generated AI Killer on a 3×3 foot playing surface. Designed to be played in under an hour, this simple tabletop experience is perfect to play with friends or family. Fans of horror cinema will love recreating their favorite cinematic gore-fests in this fast paced and easy to learn game.
Blood Bowl Second Season
The latest in a long and glorious line of Blood Bowl seasons, this represents the next step in three decades of evolution. With new and improved rules, streamlined gameplay, and a refined campaign system, everyone's favourite game of fantasy football is back and better than ever. Play as the coach for a team of Imperial Nobility or Black Orc Blood Bowl players who battle it out on the gridiron in great arenas. Play riches, pride and to entertain hordes of your team’s devoted fans. You decide the line-up and choose the tactics, but remember …. “It’s not the winning or losing that matters, it’s the mayhem and violence that count!”
Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy
Here at the Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy we have one simple aim. To give you the skills to paint any miniature you want. We believe that anyone can paint and get a result that they are happy with. The only thing it requires is patience and someone to point you in the right direction. Between the two of us, we have a wealth of experience and knowledge to help you on your journey. As a team, we have been producing and pioneering miniature painting tutorials for many years. We have taught thousands of people to paint by breaking down that one simple barrier….”I can’t do it.” Well, we believe you can. We hope you decide to join us and our growing community and we cannot wait to see what you can achieve.
