CWF Game Cast

The new Black Gobbo issue 115 is now available. It has daemons, daemons, and more daemons. This issue is a must read for daemonic cultists. Check it out at Black Gobbo E-zine 115.

Issue #115 is decent but too heavy on the daemons. It appears to have an error with the Masque of Slaanesh but that isn’t it.  The first is for 40k and the second is for Fantasy.  It would’ve been nice, however, if they did an article on Masque of Slaanesh and another on a different Chaos God to mix it up.  Can you spot the real error?  If not I reveal it below.

That said the 40k and Fantasy Army Lists are the highlights of this Black Gobbo.  The Masque of Slaanesh is a nice peek but nothing special.

All in all Black Gobbo 115 is mediocre at best and subpar when compared to some great past issues. I think it is worth 2.5 stars and necessary for Daemon players.

Waiting for that error to be revealed?  Clicking the pictures will take you to the corresponding article.  But, clicking the picture for the 40k Daemon List will take you to the 40k Masque of Slaanesh article.  Tsk tsk tsk Black Gobbo team you made an error.  Thankfully it is an easy problem to fix.  Hopefully they read this blog so they know what to mend.

Privateer Press has issued a press release about their upcoming comic miniseries focusing on Monsterpocalypse.  It is reprinted below.

Privateer Press and Across the Pond Studios have teamed up to create a new comic miniseries, published by Desperado, introducing the world of giant monsters from Privateer Press’ upcoming Monsterpocalypse Collectible Miniatures Game (CMG).

Across the Pond Studios is working closely with the game designer and creator of Monsterpocalypse Matt Wilson to bring the world of the game to life on the comic page. In addition to creative direction from Matt Wilson, the series credits include story by Stephan Nilson (Smallville and Batman Strikes), script by Jason Avery and Stephan Nilson, pencils by Karl Waller (X-Men and Motorhead), inks by Rick Bonilla (Atomik Mike), coloring by Barry Williams (Atomik Mike), and cover art supplied by the Privateer Press stable of artists. 

This is a great way to reach out to comic fans in addition to gamers thereby expanding the game’s base.  PP is further expanding on this in two ways.  First, people who collect issues 1-3 of the comic will be able to get a FREE Limited Edition Mega Sky Sentinel.  This method has been used by PP before in conjunction with No Quarter Magazine and Warmachine (limited edition Eiryss).

Secondly, anyone who goes to the San Diego Comicon in July can get a FREE issue #0 of the comic at the Privateer Press booth.
