Hobby round up for the week.

Good week for Empire generals as the upcoming GW release hits the shelves. The secret service was working over time with very little leaks prior to the White Dwarf pics on the internet a week ago. As with most of the new 8th ed armies this version of Empire features some superb sculpts and moulding tech and we get Karl Franz in a plastic kit. There is going to be mixed opinions out there but I really like all the new models even if Franz is using a hammer on top a giant elephant sized flying chook.

The Kit gives you the option of building a mounted Amber Wizard as well and the dual kits seems a great standard option. As always superb paint work from the Eavy metal team too.

With the various other new Magically trolley contraptions and the release of Monstrous Cavalry for Empire the army looks like it will be a popular choice for upcoming tournaments. Especially with the inclusion of the brand new Witch Hunter to the rules and a very kik ass sculpt below.
