Winter themed armies are less common sights on wargaming tables, with most
players choosing more temperate climates to take advantage of the huge variety
of basing materials available. But if you're looking at doing a winter army
there are plenty of easy techniques you can use to great effect.

Review by Ben Ruegg
Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shadows Of The Past, is a miniatures board
game for 2 to 5 players that puts you in the heat of battle,
either as one of the turtles or the villains. With incredibly fast gameplay,
discussions between players and a quick setup, this game has become one of my
top 10 games and is a great intro game to newcomers to the board
game hobby.
Published by IDW and designed by Kevin Wilson who is famed
for Doom: The Board
Game, and Descent:
Journey’s In The Dark, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT):
Shadows Of The Past has elements that feel familiar but adds some unique points
of difference to the genre. One of the standout features of the game is the
dice mechanics of the TMNTs which I will discuss a
bit later.
The game's story is made up of four comic book adventures with four
scenarios in each. In the comics the TMNTs face off against the
villains, and the outcome determines what the next scenario will be. Each of the
four comic adventures ends with an epic battle. The great thing here is that you
can just jump into any one of the scenarios without needing to have done
previous ones, though the stories have a better progression when you do.

Galaxy
in Flames: Fate of Konor is Games Workshop's global campaign this
summer to coincide with the release of Warhammer 40,000 8th Edition. GW fans
will be no strangers to big global campaigns and many of us here in the office
have fond memories of the glory days of the massive Armageddon and Eye of Terror
campaigns of yesteryear.
Over 6 weeks, players will battle to defend or to destroy Konor, a crucial
Forge World in the Realm of Ultramar. Konor could be a pillar upon which a
resurgent Imperium of Man could stand or if it falls, a rotting, rusted nail in
the coffin of an already faltering empire.
How to get involved
There are many ways for you to contribute to the war effort, from playing and
winning games through to collecting and painting new units and armies.
