Oh hey Bluesky! I'm the GamesRadar+ Tabletop & Merch Editor, which means you'll find me nerding out about board games, D&D, Warhammer, TCGs, Lego, and all that good stuff here.

"It's a real fixer-upper! Oh, don't mind her, she's just one of the neighbours. Look, she brought you soup!" I made this rather disgusting ruin diorama for my Cystwitch to live in after getting Warhammer Quest: Darkwater early. What do you think?

Yeah, I think this guy's gonna be popular (please excuse the rough paint job, it's been a busy week and I'm not quite done yet)

If you love painting Warhammer, this aura farming Space Marine model is a must-have
Suboden Khan is cool enough to make other Space Marine heroes look lame, to be honest

The brilliant @katiewickens.bsky.social put together our Discworld RPG review, and honestly, it feels like Pratchett fans like me are gonna fall head over heels for this one. (Plus, you can play as an Igor - instant recommendation from me.) www.gamesradar.com/tabletop-gam...
Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork is rip-roaring chaos I suspect Sir Pratchett would have approved of

Got a chance to grab the bull-bot by the horns and check out the Helsmiths of Hashut early. That demonfire is a blast to paint, and oh boy but is the army tough as nails. www.gamesradar.com/tabletop-gam...

Fear this new Warhammer Age of Sigmar army, because the Helsmiths of Hashut are gonna kick your ass

I am no longer with Polygon, my home for nearly 13 years. I am proud of what my colleagues and I have accomplished over that period, and I am especially proud of the role the @voxmediaunion.bsky.social and @wgaeast.bsky.social played in it all. Organize. Now. I am immediately available for hire.

I was able to chat with Loot Studios about its new wargame, Malediction, earlier this month - and honestly? I understand the hype now. This is one to watch in 2025. www.gamesradar.com/tabletop-gam...
Malediction is metal enough to make Elden Ring wince, and I can't wait to play this new wargame
