  Warhammer Hobby Review - White Dwarf #518 (Nov 2025) 50 Years of Games Workshop A warm, well-made tribute to Games Workshop’s 50 years, White Dwarf #518 shines as a collector’s piece but stops short of the big, show-stopping impact of past milestone issues. Prologue Gildoren sauntered down his winding stairs with all the urgency of a treeman on holiday. The distant boom boom boom had grown more frenzied, accompanied by harsh squeals and muffled shrieks that pierced the cold morning air. Still, Gildoren’s expression suggested he was at worst mildly inconvenienced, and at best contemplating a nap. Reaching the door, he turned the key, only for the door to explode inward before he’d even withdrawn it. It slammed into the wall with such force that Gildoren made a mental note to pretend it had always been cracked like that. Framed in the morning mist stood the steaming silhouette of the Tabletop Hobbit. Before Gildoren could muster an excuse, apology, or even a greeting, the diminuti...

  Warhammer Fantasy Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus  I was always on the lookout for a model to represent the Necrolith Colossus in my Tomb Kings army. When the Hobbit spotted a 3D printed model on eBay and ran out of his hole shouting and squealing that it may be a good proxy, I thought I better take a look, if only to stop the neighbours complaining...

  Warhammer Fantasy Release The Dogs of War Chapter 2 The Giants of Albion The Giants of Albion form up for Role call  "...BOLLOGS!!!" The Giants of Albion dont have a great vocabulary, their war cry  tends to be their name with the inference being that whatever their gaze has hit, now is theirs and not for sharing with any other giants. This was during the period GW was using the minis for the box art Summary These models are now over 20 years old. To my knowledge they first appeared in the 2002 Warhammer Annual as a Regiment of Renown for the Dogs of War army. The regiment or "unit" consisted of two giants (Cachtorr & Bologs) and a level 1 Wizard of the Lore of Beasts (Hengus) that cost 450 points and they counted as two Rare Units. Giants where not very common at the time so they where really quite different.  The Giants also appear later in the same annual in an article called 'The Big Bash' although they are used as stand alone giants in a four way ...
