E3 is among us and THQ is showing off Dawn of War 2. So far we’ve seen the gameplay trailer that has shown off the new Eldar as a revealed race. Dawn of War 1 had an amazing (award winning) intro video that really brought Warhammer 40k to life, now they’ve done it again, prepare your jaw to drop:

As well on Gamespot they have a new developer interview that talks about the game and its modes. Thanks to steve-o194 for the find!

“Welcome to the first of our Games Workshop Podcast, the first of an irregular series that will allow the designers from the Studio to discuss the concepts and philosophies that go into their projects.

In our first episode, Studio veteran Jervis Johnson and Warhammer 40,000 rules designer Alessio Cavatore talk about the changes that were made to the new edition of Warhammer 40,000, focusing on the new rules and their impact on the game.”

Im glad to see GW is noticing the podcast community, shows that this site hosts as well as other podcasts from other sites have really pushed the community and has shown GW that there is an audience for this. The episode was really good, Jervis has a very entracing voice, and is interesting to see the insiders view of the hobby. This will be GW’s second podcast, first being the VOX Casters, the GW Canada podcast and this one being the GW USA podcast.

We’re studying the new book hard and we will have our full review on episode 47 of The Drop Pod Cast as we’re dedicating the episode everything 5th edition, the episode will be out this coming week. We still got a few days to go so we’ll be constantly reading and have a few games up shortly. If you haven’t ran out yet and grabbed your copy, do so now.

This is just a reminder that we are still currently taking entries for our Games Day Swag Give away contest. Here are the juicy details:

“How does one win these great items? Simple! Since we made an announcement for the new User Segment on The Drop Pod Cast, we want you to create a segment to be aired on the show. All you got to do is create your own audio segment to be aired on the show, send it in, and which ever we deem our top 3 picks will win the prizes, the better the segment, the better prize lot you will get. Now, for all those who enter, even if you do not win the prize lot, we will still air your segment on the show in a future episode, either way you win (in a sense).

Today I present the first of hopefully many original editor columns. This is one I had interest in doing, the idea of this weekly column (that’s right, every Friday) is to find the best the web has to offer in wargaming, let it be some amazing miniature that’s blast from the past or something new and creative, etc. Just a fun new way to bring some more uniqueness to the site and something you can count on being updated weekly.

So to start us off, lets go with something crazy.

As first seen in our pictures taken from Games Day, Forge World has put out nice clear pictures of unpainted and painted versions of the new Nurgle Dreadnaught and Sorcerer.
