Here’s Russian cosplayer Polina Vishnevskaya with some absolutely incredible Warhammer 40K work.

This week, action-RPG Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr came out of Early Access on Steam, the latest in a long line of incomprehensibly titled games inspired by the Warhammer miniatures series. It’s a decent spin on the kill/loot/explore formula popularized by Diablo, but what it’s especially good at is making…

Killing the player is easy. Games do this all the time, often by surprising them with something unexpected and lethal or by simply ramping up the difficulty and pummeling them into submission. Vermintide 2 offers a third option, taunting your four-player squads without outright destroying them: the Packmaster.

Crunch is one of the gaming industry’s biggest issues. Devs work countless extra hours to get games out the door, wringing themselves dry of blood, sweat, and tears for weeks or months at a time. It destroys people. Development studio Neocore was reminded of this when it announced earlier this week what it planned to…

For his work on novels like War of the Worlds and The Island of Doctor Moreau, British author HG Wells is rightly lauded as a visionary. What often gets lost amongst the applause for his ideas on science fiction, though, is another area he was a pioneer: the field of tabletop wargaming.

There are far too many Warhammer 40K games out there at the moment, most of them forgettable, but even through that fog of bore I’m still a little interested in the upcoming Gladius – Relics of War, the franchise’s first attempt at a 4X game.

Total War: Warhammer II is a great strategy game. In no small part because it looks amazing.

Nearly every piece of Warhammer 40K cosplay you see is some kind of human character, being all grim and gruff and shouting something about heresy. So it’s nice to see Russia’s Narga show the Eldar’s Howling Banshees some love instead.

Erasmus Brosdau, an art director at Crysis developers Crytek, has been working on a Warhammer 40K short film (in his spare time!) for the past six years. It’s now done, kind of, and it’s been well and truly worth the wait.

Decked out in armour and weapons made by Wulfgar Weapons & Props, this group of fans hit Gencon last week with some of the best 40K cosplay I have ever seen.

There are too many damn Warhammer games. Anyway, here’s one more, and it actually looks OK.

I’m as much a fan of Games Workshop’s fantasy and sci-fi settings as the next person, but over 20 games released since 2014 with at least three more due this year is way too much Warhammer.

It’s all fun in games in the PC version of classic Warhammer tabletop game Mordheim until somebody loses a limb—or their life.

Holy shit that’s a lot of rats.
