Tomb Kings Diary – Resurrecting the Desiccated Dead (and This Blog)

Hello, brave adventurers, and welcome back to When Cannons Fade. You may have noticed (for the couple of you who read this) that it has been radio silent for a long time. This has been due to (mostly) my lack of inspiration to write anything, and opting instead to posting things on our Instagram page instead. It would seem I’ve fallen foul of the Tik Tok generation’s diminishing attention span – it’s so much easier to post a picture and send it out into the ether in mere seconds versus spending actual time to plan and write out blog posts. Are blogs still a thing? are they still relevant? I hope so, because we’re (me and Matt Crump) going to make a concerted effort to invoke the necessary incantations over this one and reanimate it. The Liche Priests have their work cut out or them, that much is certain. So please bear with us as we work to make this page look a little more snappy over the coming weeks as we’ll be tweaking, adjusting, moving, editing and whatnot. Please pardon our dust…

Bandai Space Marine! Games Workshop finally makes TOYS!

Many of us in the gaming world are also collectors of toys (myself included). For many years a large majority of us were scratching our heads as to why GeeDub hadn’t jumped on the action figure train. Well, as many of you know, last year saw the unveiling of a collaboration between Japanese toy giant Bandai and Games Workshop to unleash a Space Marine action figure, followed shortly thereafter by McFarlane Toys who would bring it to store shelves.

Our intrepid reporter, Matt Crump, took one for the team and wrote up a review for your reading pleasure. So get some Marmite and toast together and a cuppa and lets get started. Matt, over to you sir.

Quick paint drop! Slaughter Queen

This rather angry looking young lady is the first completed model in my new nerd bunker. Not 100% happy with the face, but I think she’s a good tabletop standard.

Skol!

See y’all again very soon!

Crazy days – all hail the hobby lifeline. #shelterinhobby

It is though the Plaguefather himself has set his sights on Holy Terra for his next incursion, right? In all seriousness though, these are some interesting times we’re all currently living in. First and foremost, I hope that you are all happy and healthy, and observing the guidelines we’ve all been issued regarding social distancing and whatnot. We can all get through this together, and get through it we shall.

As tabletop wargaming is a very social hobby, spending weeks shut in can be a very daunting prospect, but that’s where we’re at.

So how are we focusing on the hobby at the moment?

Daughters of Khaine – Kraith test mini

As I had mentioned in my previous post, I’d picked up the army book, cards and miniatures for the Daughters of Khaine forces of Age of Sigmar. I’m not sure why these hadn’t caught my eye earlier, but I’ve got to say, the movement and posing of these Aelves is just gorgeous. The miniatures really get across the message that these are lithe, brutal killers, and bloody scary to boot.
