Posted by Lord Shaper on 28 March 2010 It’s that time again when I have put up some more stuff on ebay… Here’s some of the things up on offer so if you want something go over to my ebay site and make your bids! There’s a selection of Comics, Wargaming Books, RPG Books and Miniatures among other things… Most of the Miniatures are classic Eldar and with that there is one of the great old Chaos Juggernauts...

Posted by Lord Shaper on 26 March 2010 If you’ve been waiting to see everything about the Blood Angels codex and all the releases that are going to be coming out from Games Workshop over the next month your going to have to keep an eye out for the Seven Days of Blood. The Crew from Beasts of War have put up this promo showing they will be doing a special on the Blood Angels from March 29th to April 4th and after...

Posted by Lord Shaper on 25 March 2010 As I have came back into the world of wargaming with my Tau Cadre I have been thinking about what’s to come next for me. When I was looking at what armies I wanted to do originally I had first been drawn to the Dark Eldar and as anyone who’s looking at anything within the Warhammer 40K world you get online and look at what people are saying about the armies. Dark Eldar...

Posted by Lord Shaper on 24 March 2010 So after a 7-8 year hiatus of playing Warhammer 40,000 I finally managed to get into my Local Games Workshop Store at Castle Hill to have a game so I could “refresh” myself on the rules for 5th edition since the last time I played would have been with 3rd edition. As I’m still in the process of painting and developing my list I used what I had and came up with a...

Posted by Lord Shaper on 16 March 2010 I’ve had some more time to paint and I’ve found I was slacking finishing off my VX15 Stealth Team. For some reason the original inspiration that I had when I was undercoating them. I’m thinking it has something to do with the black undercoat that I was using when I picked them up since I have gone back to white and I think it helps the figures ‘POP’...

Posted by Lord Shaper on 15 March 2010 One of the goals that everyone I know into who’s into comics likes to have a room of their own so you can chill out and embrace your fandom. I’ve been working on my own ever since we moved back in December and I finally have it at a stage that I’d like to show it to everyone. That being said it’s not on the scale of everyone’s favourite room like Bob...

Posted by Lord Shaper on 10 March 2010 As I was going through some of my boxes of Blood Bowl figures I came across the last thing I had painted before I started painting up my Tau. These figures I painted around 4 odd years ago at the least with other figures being painted prior to that going back to the late 1990’s with the Mutant Chronicles: Warzone figures. So I introduce my Necromantic Team: Starting off we...

Posted by Lord Shaper on 10 March 2010 Since there has been an increase of traffic to Tales from the Warzone I though I’d mention some other project I have on board as well. Apart from my returning to Wargaming I’ve been a Huge comic book fan for over 20 years. I currently run a comic news, reviews and whatever I feel like website called The Furnace which can be found at lordshaper.com. Also I write reviews...

Posted by Lord Shaper on 8 March 2010 From boingboing: The Burntwire Brothers remodeled a room to house their collection of D&D paraphernalia as well as a place to hold game sessions. There are stained glass windows, faux dungeon walls, a metal portcullis, dragon statuettes and a rack of swords. As if the place needs more atmosphere, the Dungeon Master can control the room’s lighting, a fog machine and a...

Posted by Lord Shaper on 7 March 2010 Since I’ve been painting again I’ve been trying to relearn everything that I have forgotten. One thing that I haven’t been able to get the hang of is Eyes… I’ve been trying to avoid them but as I’ve been working on a new objective marker I decided to do a Tau tank gunner who of course has crashed landed and waiting to be rescued. With that being...

Posted by Lord Shaper on 4 March 2010 If you hadn’t noticed the website has had a change of Domain from http://wargame.lordshaper.com to http://www.talesfromthewarzone.com so if you want to follow remember to update your links and bookmarks. Otherwise everything else is going on slowly… I have some more painting plans ahead and I’m waiting on my first Hammerhead to arrive in the mail. I’ve had...

Posted by Lord Shaper on 1 March 2010 I’ve finally had a chance to do a bit more painting. After getting more in the mail, you really have to love getting deals from eBay, I have picked up 12 fire warrior, 1 Devilfish and numerous bits which included a range of Fire Warrior arms and some great magnetic flight stands from Back to Basi-ix. They have a range of stands for large vehicles from your single stand ones,...
