genuine question, where do you see skill coming into warhammer? I ask bc goonhammer 'n' them really just talk about list construction and grinding your math into someone else's math until something breaks. I've lost touch with how skill is expressed in modern 40K and wanna know!

The author Evan Dicken grew up with Ursula K LeGuin and has already published multiple wuxia ninja omyoji samurai novels set in the Age of Sigmar and Legend of the Five Rings worlds.

So Warhammer Fantasy Cathay is in experienced hands that have written characters from high-context cultures well.
Goonhammer Reviews: Shade of Khaine, by Evan Dicken by Jay "Lorehunter" Kirkman | Sep 05 2025 Getting By with a Little Help from Her Friends Malaneth may by the main character of the story, but hers is a tale very much enriched by the supporting cast Dicken weaves for her. From Splendid the Ogor to anarchist trapmaker Stromund Goldless, voice-in-her-head Mistress Sybelline to friend-turned-enemy-turned-friend Xarissa the Shadowstalker, she has no lack of company along the way. Splendid was an interesting contrast deserving of a mention, a brute savage of a gourmand who was amiable and charming (as Ogors go). While I enjoyed how he was written, he didn't quite capture the same element of other-ness that Adrian Tchaikovsky did so masterfully with On the Shoulders of Giants (review here). Splendid is a character who happens to be an Ogor, while Tchaikovsky's Slobda felt more like an Ogor character. When Tchaikovsky's very human lead character notes that his Ogor companion was "a child of a different god entirely," you feel that in a way I didn't really pick up on in Shade of Khaine. There's one more steady companion who has a significant impact on Malaneth, yet never actually appears in the novel. As Dicken reveals in an early passage, Malaneth still dreamt of Gotrek Gurnisson. The Slayer hung like a stone around her neck, dragging her into a sea of shouting violence, rune glittering, his axe as bloody as any Khainite altar. He cleaved her memory like a blade. There was a time before she had met Gotrek... sure of her purpose, her duty, herself. Then, she had been set upon that damnable Slayer and everything had stopped making sense. Archmage Evan Dicken 3.46 24 ratings2 reviews A Broken Realms short story Living among a profoundly magical society while having no arcane aptitude can be tough, doubly so for one of the proud Lumineth aelves. When Cerith Anlethir, a scholar of magic with no power of his own, is contacted by the Mage God himself, can he turn his source of shame into an advantage and save the Realm of Light? READ IT BECAUSE View Teclis' plans from the eyes of a lowly figure in the Mortal Realms, and discover how those schemes affect the people around him.

The dark sorcerer Iuchiban has escaped his tomb, and desires dominion over all. Unicorn samurai Iuchi Qadan has been welcomed home and celebrated for her part in destroying the Blood- speaker rebellion. Yet she is not herself… Possessed by Iuchiban, Qadan can do nothing but watch as the undying sorcerer lord draws tight the noose he has wrapped around the throat of an unsuspecting empire. And hope that someone will realize she is not who she seems. But the other survivors of Iuchiban’s tomb are few, and made speechless by the horrors they’ve endured. To stop Iuchiban’s evil, new alliances between old enemies must be formed. They will be brittle, untested, and marred by mistrust. Should these alliances fail, there will be no Rokugan.

light mechs are on the menu after putting all of my chips in the Funny Missile Mech basket last time. This time it's flamethrowers that punch you and disco lasers
Panther 13K, Spider 9M, Stinger 6G, and Javelin 12N. I just went on Goonhammer and looked up what Panther was good and went from there, i'm not proud

I'd rather have goonhammer than 1d4chan as an independent resource for warhammer stuff, but sometimes it makes me sad to see where the money goes in this hobby. five figs a month patreon for math articles, while anyone who teaches scratch-built terrain on youtube is likely living in poverty

Goonhammer usually posts gang guides, but I doubt you'll see their first one until the gang journals start getting released.

It made more sense than trying to do it with anything hell, let's put it that way, haha.

That said, I think the likely competition scene will evolve out of the Goonhammer/Tabletop Battles stuff which I believe is not WYSIWYG for a bunch of reasons. But not being WYSIWYG is probably up there.

Layering!! Start with black primer, paint the *darkest* colors that the shadows would be, then dry brush and highlight your way up.

The goonhammer post I linked has a solid breakdown of how to do it on blue objects. I didn’t have the paints in question so mine looks a little different.
