  • Oldhammer 40000 2Nd Edition Tournament What
    v1.0 01.26.2019 OLDHAMMER 40,000 2ND EDITION TOURNAMENT AdeptiCon reserves the right to modify, update, clarify, or change event rules in the interest of making AdeptiCon the best event possible. No fundamental rules changes will be made to the event after 02.01.2019. WHAT IS THIS TOURNAMENT? This is a Warhammer 40,000 (“40K”) tournament, using the Warhammer 40,000 Second Edition rules (“2E”). This tournament uses the rules from the 1996 Gen Con 40K Tournament, modified to make this tournament more “Oldhammer”. 1996 was the first year of official 40K tournaments in America, so this is as far back as 40K tournament rules go. Why a 2E tournament? We want to offer people an opportunity to experience our hobby’s past and its characterful games of 40K. 2E is the most characterful edition of 40K for which GW established tournament rules. One could argue that 40K’s original rules (“Rogue Trader”) are more characterful than 2E, but Rogue Trader never had official tournament rules. GW held the first official 40K tournament ever in 1995 in England, the Grand Tournament using 2E rules. In 1998, GW abandoned characterful 40K for the profit-driven mass armies of 40K 3rd and subsequent editions. How is 2E different from later editions of 40K? Like Rogue Trader, 2E is more characterful. This means that individual models matter more than in later editions. For example, units can go into overwatch. Models can throw individual grenades, each with their own blast markers. Character models’ statistics and gear raise them higher above rank-and-file models.

  • Atomic Mass Games Takes Its First Steps Into the Star Wars™ Miniatures Games Galaxy
    November 16, 2020 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Atomic Mass Games Takes Its First Steps Into The Star Wars™ Miniatures Games Galaxy Development of Star Wars X-Wing, Star Wars Armada, and Star Wars Legion Moving from Fantasy Flight Games to Asmodee’s Miniatures Games-Focused Studio SEATTLE, WA, November 16, 2020 – In a strategic reorganization of its Star Wars miniatures titles, Asmodee is announcing today that oversight of its three Star Wars miniatures titles will be moving to their dedicated miniatures games studio, Atomic Mass Games. Development of all future miniatures games will be handled by Atomic Mass as well. The move to a specialty studio positions Asmodee’s miniatures titles for even greater success in the future. “Atomic Mass is committed to bringing people together through fun games, and Star Wars has been bringing people together through the power of myth and story for over 40 years,” Steve Horvath, Head of US Publishing, said. “Combing their talent with the strength of our current Star Wars miniatures games and the limitless possibilities of a galaxy far, far away is going to lead to incredible new experiences for tabletop gamers and Star Wars fans to enjoy.” Simone Elliott, who has shepherded Fantasy Flight’s relationship with Lucasfilm Licensing since 2015, will lead Atomic Mass Games during this time of expansion as Head of Studio. Will Shick assumes primary creative oversight as Head of Product Development. Joining them will be key members of the teams involved in the creation and evolution of Fantasy Flight’s current Star Wars miniatures games, Star Wars X-Wing, Star Wars Legion, and Star Wars Armada.

  • Warhammer 40K: Orks by Aehriman
    Warhammer 40K: Orks By Aehriman The Orks are the pinnacle of creation. For them, the great struggle is won. They have evolved a society which knows no stress or angst. Who are we to judge them? We Eldar who have failed, or the Humans, on the road to ruin in their turn? And why? Because we sought answers to questions that an Ork wouldn't even bother to ask! We see a culture that is strong and despise it as crude​. -Ulthan the Perverse, controversial Eldar philosopher "Of all the races I have battled throughout the galaxy, the Ork is the hardest to comprehend. They wage war with machines that should not work, care little for strategic gains, and are just as likely to slaughter each other as the enemy. How does one battle an enemy that defies all logic?" -Captain Varnael Larik, Rogue Trader The Orks plague the galaxy from end to end with their ceaseless warring and strife. They are a race rooted so deeply in war that peace is utterly incomprehensible to them. They cannot be bargained with or bought save with weapons that they will inevitably turn against those who tried to bribe them. I pray with all my faith that some great catastrophe will annihilate them but I fear that ultimately it is they, not we, who shall rule the galaxy. -Xanthius, High Lord of Terra "​Orkses is neva defeated in battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fightin' so it don't count. If we runz for it we don't lose eva, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!​" -Common Ork Saying WAAAAAAAAAAAGH! -Every Ork Ever Alright, shut yer gobs an listen up.

  • Warlords of the Dark Millennium
    TIGURIUS ‘It cannot be considered a gift, to peer into the Warp and unravel the possibilities of the futures that are, that might be and that must be prevented. Nor can the burden of a weapon, that each of my brothers looks upon with girded revulsion, be called a gift. No, Master, I do not think my psychic prowess a gift… but a tool. Whether by a quirk of fate, or the will of the Emperor, I possess a weapon the like of which can turn the tide, not just in a battle but in the course of history. To withhold it, to flinch from its use or deny it would not just be counter-productive, it would be heresy. But if it is a gift, it is a cruel one.’ - From the journal of Lord Macragge, Marneus Calgar, quoting Varro Tigurius, 991.M41 THE CHIEF LIBRARIAN Though the Ultramarines are warriors, their Chapter is typified by a warm, generous personality. Ultramarines are of noble demeanour and regal countenance, fierce when roused to anger, but considered urbane and just towards those who are their allies. Among their ranks, however, one stands out as a man alone, an Ultramarine to whom the ready camaraderie of a brother-in-arms comes difficult, if at all. His is a soul burdened by the weight of his calling, afflicted by a power that sets him apart from those around him. He the mightiest psyker in the Ultramarines Chapter, if not the entire Imperium, and his name is Varro Tigurius. Varro is a common enough name within the Ultramar Segmentum and many of the heroes of the Ultramarines Chapter have borne it over the millennia.

(If you thought Nagash is a big model, well, the Glottkin are bigger!) Chaos is waxing strong and the three brothers Glott – Nurgle’s chosen champions – march on the Old World as the vanguard of Archaon’s invasion force. An unholy alliance of Undead and men stands against them, but can they prevail? Warhammer: Glottkin holds the answer – as do you, in your own End Times games. Like Warhammer: Nagash, Warhammer: Glottkin is stuffed full of epic stories, plus a Warshrine’s worth of new rules to enact them in your own battles. Not least amongst these are the guidelines for fielding a Legion of Chaos – a unified force of destruction that draws on Warriors of Chaos, Daemons and Beastmen. And Nagash doesn’t get all the summoning fun to himself – Chaos sorcerers everywhere can now call forth Daemons from the Realm of Chaos to fight for them.

  • White Dwarf Index
    NOTES ON THIS INDEX This Index lists the most important articles that have been published in White Dwarf from issue 68 to issue 251. There are several points that I would like to make about this Index. • The Index only lists the main articles published in each issue, it does not list the Games Workshop News, Mail Order or What’s Happening at the GW Stores (as features in these articles will be out of date and largely irrelevant). • From Issues 110 onwards all of the articles are categorised according to which game they are relevant to, there is a column for Warhammer 40,000 (commonly referred to as WH40K) articles, a column for Warhammer Fantasy Battle (referred to as WHFB or just Warhammer), one for Various Games (all of the other games WD features), one for Terrain articles (just terrain, not painting guides) and one for Miscellaneous Articles and Battle reports. For issues 102 and earlier there are only three columns. One for Various Games that are featured (including Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battle) one for Roleplay Games like Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (commonly referred to as WFRP) and lastly, one for Miscellaneous Articles and Battle reports. This is because, back then, there wasn’t always a WH40K and/or WHFB article. There was however, a plethora of other games produced by other companies as well as lots of Roleplay games that are just never seen now. If things carry on as they are, I might have to change the columns from Issues 248 onward to just include just WH40K, WHFB and Miscellaneous Articles, because that’s what White Dwarf seems to be completely dedicating itself to these days… • Since Games Workshop re-releases games every so often (generally Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Fantasy Battle), articles about such games are only relevant to the edition of the game that was around at the time when that issue was printed.
