It's a mostly new world! Though a few stragglers are still fighting last year's war in Leviathan, most of the metagame has moved on to the Pariah Nexus and activated all the exciting rules updates and balance changes that GW have published alongside the new mission pack. Lists have been shaken up, new challengers have appeared, and rumours of some factions/units death's might have been exaggerated. Also, there's masses of events again as players unleash all their pent-up excitement. Today, I'll be looking at: The Glasshammer GT - Birmingham Battle for...
