Freebootaz Toys for Tots 2011!

Hello everybody! Once again the Christmas season is upon us. And once again, the Freebootaz, of the 40KRadio forum, are continuing their annual tradition of support for Toys for Tots!

Every year, since they have started, the Freebootaz, the 40KRadio forum members, have been running charity drives in the form of donating, building and painting Warhammer 40K armies to auction. This activity actually takes place all year long, as members decide what new army to do, dedicate units and models, decide on the painting schemes, and then spend the rest of the year up to the very beginning of December assembling, converting, and painting their donations.

Editorial: 40K In The News? Another Perspective.

Recently, I talked about an article written about 40K, the hobby, and the people, by a journalist in Greece, and the negative attitude that journalist took towards the hobby and the people.

Well today I offer an alternate perspective. This wonderful little video by students in the Film and Video Production program at SAIT Polytechnic, is chock full of interviews, sweeping scenic views of wonderfully painted armies and miniatures, and showcases a very interesting event that was run in Calgary in 2011, depicting the opening campaign during the Horus Heresy, in the Istvan system. All of this wrapped around with excellent production value.

Forgeworld News: Video History of the Rhino and Land Raider

Today, Forgeworld surprised the 40K community with an excellent new addition to their YouTube Channel, Forge World Visual Feed.

Land Raiders Being Painted in the Forgeworld Video

In this video they discuss the long and dedicated history of both the ubiquitous Rhino, and the Space Marines' heavy tank of choice, the Land Raider. They present a variety of models detailing the different marks of both vehicles, and revealing what Forgeworld has in store for the near future of their Land Raider Line.

Editorial: 40K In The News? Journalist Amok!

Is all publicity good publicity? Image courtesy 122nd Cadian Blog.

It's not often that our hobby gets coverage in the main stream news, so you would think we hobbyists would appreciate the press when we do get it.

Unfortunately, not all journalism is created equally, as the Warhammer 40,000 community and 40K enthusiasts who were interviewed for a news magazine article, learned yesterday in Greece.

Trailer: The Lord Inquisitor

Every so often, somebody comes a long and turns the world on its head.

In this case, it just happens to be the world of 40K in cinema.

Below is a trailer from a 40K Fanatic (that is all he can be to put all his heart and soul into such a project) who goes by the name of Warpgazer on Youtube.

It's obvious he has a severe talent for CG Animation, as well as an eye for cinematography. I think he has the makings of something glorious, and wish him all the success in the world on this.

Good luck Warpgazer, and thanks for this awesome trailer.
