So James Orkshop (now know only as Warhammer) has live streamed the first ever 11th edition battle report. On Twitch and on YouTube.

Since it was a holiday and I had literally nothing to do I thought „why not watch it“. Oh boy.

Now W’hamster TV is not new to the streaming game. By no measurement. And yet they still fail at the basics.

Stream started on time? Haha, you wish. And when it started we only got audio. Which was a nice exception because usually you get video and no audio and also that was fixed in a relatively short time.

But the audio we got was very quiet. At times barely audible because some background music was running on 11. Very annoying.

Then the game started although only as a small window in the lower right corner while the two commentator blokes kept on yapping about the lists. Come on, it’s a live battle report, let me in on the action.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, we got the playing area in big mode. Did we get table banter? No, still the two lads in the off talking about everything.

I continued to watch for about 5 to 10 minutes and then got bored to death. Miniatures didn’t seem to move at all, comments where abysmal and for such a big company having only one camera angle was really disappointing. You’d thing to promote your new hot stuff they would do more then the usual but no.

Well, if you enjoyed the stream more power to you. I’m not showing up for another until 12th edition or so.

Cain in miniature

Ciaphas Cain, hero of the Imperium, now has a tabletop miniature. The star of many books written over the past …checks notes.. twenty years?!!? I am old. Anyway, if you haven’t read the Ciaphas Cain novels I would recommend them. They manage to be accessible to both newcomers to the 40K universe and experienced players and lore enthusiasts.

The miniature featured Cain in a suitably heroic pose, along with his faithful, malodorous sidekick Jurgen.

As a fan of Warhammer 40,000 and Horus Heresy novels, I always enjoy when a character makes the leap to the tabletop. You can read more on this release at Warhammer Community.

Speaking of reading, if you haven’t read any Ciaphas Cain novels as yet, pick up the Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium omnibus. You can thank me later.
