Competitive Innovations in 9th: Our Metagame Yearns for Freedom pt.1

...please send Q12023 Balance Dataslate. In some ways I jest - Arks continues to be good fun, and there are a couple of interesting new builds on show this week, so there's certainly some stuff to dig into. However, at...

Competitive Innovations in 9th: The Desolation of Manchester pt.1

The Wraithbone Phoenix: The Goonhammer Review

Wraithone Phoenix is author Alec Worley's first full-length novel for the Black Library, after a series of shorter stories in the 40k universe. It's also the first full length outing for Baggit and Clodde, our Ratling and Ogryn protagonists for Wraithbone Phoenix after an outing in audiodrama Dredge Runners. Wraithbone Phoenix is a fun, pulpy crime caper that manages to balance a series of homages, set pieces and a wild cast of underhive style criminal elements with the flair and verve of a hardboiled detective novel.
