You’ve clipped, trimmed, filed and glued and you’re all set to start putting paint on plastic. You obviously want to make sure you get the best possible result for the tabletop, so make sure you’re getting the foundations right. Priming minis might not be the most glorious aspect of painting, but without it your finished... Continue Reading →
There's another free warhammer miniature available this May. To celebrate the release of Killteam this month's model is an Adeptus Arbites Arbitrator, available from the 13th of May.

The Handful of Points Escalation League is back! After a month off where we relaxed and played skirmish games we jumped into our 1250 point games. Now we can start bringing out the big guns and synergies that are throttled at lower points values, and my scary Slaves to Darkness start getting a little less... Continue Reading →
Welcome back to our monthly escalation league update. The escalation league has taken April off so everyone can catch up on painting projects or take a short break if they're all done and ready, but this doesn't mean games weren't had.

Sure, there are funny moments in the forty-first millennium. There's capers and one liners throughout the lore and books. but what the setting really lacks is some straight up Warhammer 40k jokes. The classic style of comedy we all knew as children. But we're here to help. The Handful of Dice team have taken an... Continue Reading →
The Imperial Guard may be built on the backbone of countless ranks of infantry, but it's hard to argue that a lot of the glory (and fun) come from the roar of advancing tanks, and the big guns that never tire. Steel Tread puts you firmly at the centre of all of the armoured action.... Continue Reading →
The Handful of Dice team have a problem. We don't actually play a lot of Warhammer... We play a fair amount of Underworlds and the occasional online game, but with a team spread out along the south coast and around London we don't get to play a lot of physical games of Age of Sigmar...
