Warhammer in all its flavours
The great thing about warhammer and miniatures in general is that different parts of the hobby appeal to different people. You might be driven by one of the many games, you might love the lore or you might love the painting. But one side of the hobby that often gets overlooked is conversion and kitbashing....

Games Workshop's latest subscription magazine service released on the 15th of February, and on the surface it appears to be pretty darn good value for money. But is it? Having spent £2.99 on the first issue, and a whole morning crunching numbers, I am here to report my findings to you, so you can decide... Continue Reading →
Another month, another exciting day of gaming here at the HoD offices. This month saw the Handful of Points Escalation League go from 500 points up to 750 points, which means new and exciting goodies (and baddies) in our armies. If you haven't read our article about our first session, you can find it here.... Continue Reading →
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...

I recently picked up the Warhammer Underworlds: Gnarlwood box and have been slowly working my way through the Sons of Velmorn. So far people have seemed to love the bright scheme I came up with for them, so I decided to document the scheme as a guide, so you can try something similar on some... Continue Reading →
Well, that was bigger than expected. The Grand Narrative Preview came and went at 4am for those of us in the UK, and at the Handful of Dice offices we've been picking over the reviews since. We have opinions, which is of course the reason you're all here, so let's get under way. World Eaters... Continue Reading →
Right, let's start off like all good reviews should - by pointing out that the author is probably significantly biased towards enjoying this book. Way back when I was just a teenager and first discovered Warhammer it was the Catachan Jungle Fighters that drew me into the game. While we do our best to ignore... Continue Reading →
