Warhammer 40,000
Warhammer 40,000 or simply Warhammer 40K is a miniature-based tabletop game. It involves building and painting your own miniature army and pit them against others' on a dioramic 6x4 or 4x4 feet table using a standardized set of game rules. Miniature armies come in various factions, from Imperial commandos to space-faring orks, each with its own background stories (what 40K players call "fluff") and combat units.

My army, a sub-faction of the Adeptus Astartes or the Space Marines, is of the so-called Dark Angels Chapter - one of thousands of regiments of bio-enhanced supersoldiers created by the Emperor of Man to impose his will throughout the grim universe of the 41st millennium.

Dark Angels of the Adeptus Astartes
The Dark Angels Chapter is first among legions of Space Marines bred by the Emperor from his own genetic imprints. Enhanced physiologically for combat operations, they are literally Angels of Death in the battlefield, sowing fear to anyone who dared oppose their mandate. Their homeworld, Caliban - now reduced to a barren asteroid after an epic battle against their traitorous Brothers - holds the Chapter's mobile fortress-monastery called the Tower of Angels. Here, deep within the labyrinthine pathways to the underground caverns, lies the key to their monastic nature. The Dark Angels hides a millenia-long secret that compromised their honor. It is with this reason that they and their Successor Chapters are called the Unforgiven.

Sydney Battle Bunker

At last, I was able to step afoot to an authentic Games Workshop store! It was here, at the Sydney Battle Bunker in Clarence Street, Sydney!



I still have to see the branch in Chatswood which is closer to where I stay in Artarmon.

I grabbed two latest copy of White Dwarf and a Tau Piranha for Garrboy and Jun, respectively. I still need to buy a couple more stuffs for the boyz back in Manila, of course while watching out for my credit line.

I brought with me my Warmachine army though and I'm looking forward to finishing painting em here.

I'm thinking to play Tau now too. I still have to think about it, so maybe iL just sell my Dark Eldar army to give way to it.

While talking with a staff there in GW, I was able to have some "inside" information:

GW Sniper Scouts will be here by June, City of Death and Eldar codices will sure be out this year, Ork models will come out but no "concrete" confirmation if it will be just to support the City of Death codex or for a revamped Ork codex, and Dark Angels Codex will not be out until early January.
