Dedicated Painting Tasks show how to bring rich colours to the heroes even as they wade through mud and icy water.

Battle report Intrusion in the Abbey

A full battle report, Intrusion in the Abbey, features two knights, a duardin and a mage breaking into the haunted complex. This story driven game shows how Warhammer Quest Darkwater can be used to tell tense narratives and provides ideas for terrain, party composition and scenario design for your own games and campaigns.

Warhammer 40 000 articles for the New Year

The Warhammer 40 000 section centres around the theme New Year New Army.
