Fallout Wasteland Warfare

War Never Changes, except now it's coming from your PC or Console to your tabletop.  Modiphius are currently producing a tabletop miniatures game for the Fallout universe.

I love the Fallout games and have always been a little disappointed that there aren't more games out there based on the IP, I have looked for a Fallout RPG in the past but there aren't any official ones out there.  But now we are getting a official miniatures game.  The game is currently in closed Beta so we don't know loads of details but I thought I'd talk about what we do know and why I have decided to follow this closely.

8th Edition First Impressions

Yesterday I picked up the new Warhammer 40,000 Rulebook and Index: Imperium 1 (plus some command dice).  I thought I'd share my first impressions of looking through the books and a few things I have noticed.

I will not be talking about the rules much, I have already talked about them a bit when Games Workshop started posting teasers of the new rules and every other blog and news site has already covered them.  I'm mainly just going to talk about my thoughts of the books themselves after I had a quick glance over them yesterday.  I haven't read everything yet so I will have missed some bits.

8th Edition Pre-Orders

The latest edition of 40K is just one week away.  Pre-orders have been up for a while and it will be released this Saturday.  There are already plenty of forums, blogs and pages talking about the rules or whats coming and with the leaks and reviewers and stores already having copies and running demo games there isn't much point me just repeating what has been written about already, instead I though I'd write about the pre-orders and how I'm planning to get into 8th Edition.

Unboxing Urbanmatz Folding Table, Game Mat and Terrain Package Deal

I needed somewhere new to play tabletop games.  I only have a small(ish) coffee table that I can play on but I needed a bigger area to play games like Malifaux, Shadow War or Warhammer.  I don't have much space in my flat to keep a full sized table so was looking for something that could be folded up and stored somewhere.  I started looking around and found a package deal from Urbanmatz.  I brought a folding 6x4 table, a 3x3 gaming mat and their pre-painted resin Ruins terrain pack.

The delivery turned up the other day so I thought I'd do another Unboxing post.
