Playing AoS Tournaments in Tabletop Simulator Fittsy with more than one article in a week? Well… the weather is shit outside and it’s a good time of year to stay inside playing Age of Sigmar. In case you’re unfamiliar with Tabletop Simulator (TTS), it’s a software that let’s you play board games and tabletop games on your computer.

Book Review Wanted: Dead A Necromunda novella by Mike Brooks Necromunda is a classic gaming system and - despite some changes between editions - remains mostly with its roots in old editions of Warhammer 40k. The support from the Specialist Games Studio is also superb with new gangs and models released regularly. And the stories are great fund also - including this older gem by Mike Brooks from the Novella Series that Black Library produced some years ago.nto a Book Review A Line in the Sand by James Barr.

Woehammer: Slow-Grow 2026 You may remember back at the beginning of January, we challenged our readers to paint one unit a month in 2026. With the first month over its time to see what everyone's been up to!

How to Paint – Renedra Outbuilding Wattle & Daub Outbuilding from Renedra Returning to my occasional series of How to Paint, I've picked something a little different. Renedra are a foundation of the UK lead belt - based in Cambridgeshire ... not everything makes sense! But they have been around for a long time and are known for their bases and scenery. Whilst purchasing the basing equipment for my Blood Angels from the ever reliable…

Getting started with Tabletop Simulator for AoS You want to get started in Tabletop Simulator (TTS). Fittsy is here to save the day! Or at least help out enough for you to get started and learn enough to jump into it and get going. In my adventure to try and get better, I’ve gotten into using TTS. I’ve been using it for a couple of different things. Mostly for checking out deployment and movement options but I’ve also been getting into playing full games on there now too.

Book Review Sundering of Shadows The first story of the Shadow-war from AJ Brown I often read non-fiction books on the commute to work (audio books), and until this year rarely reviewed them on Woehammer. But this year I've decided to include more non-Warhammer books on the basis that if I find a topic interesting, our readers may do so as well. So onto a Book Review A Line in the Sand by James Barr.

Getting back into it – Tournament Report for Hamburg Major Fittsy’s back at real-life tournaments! It feels good to be back too! I’ve been trying to cover improving my Age of Sigmar skill level… but have been held back a bit by not being able to play much the last 6 months. I’ve been playing a bit online using TTS (table top simulator) and I’ll cover that tournament once the results are ready but with a bit more of a focus on how it feels to play my first tournament on TTS.

Woehammer: Age of Sigmar League Online Age of Sigmar is great, but it can be a nightmare for calendars. GTs are often spread over weeks with players having to find time within a week or two weeks to arrange one game. Then they may have a long wait until the next pairings are generated. Eventually interest falls off and only a few people are competing near the end.

Bringing Our GT Stats into Discord Most Warhammer stats usually live in spreadsheets. Most Warhammer discussions don’t. They happen in Discord, Reddit threads, comment sections, and group chats. Usually fuelled by screenshots taken out of context, and the phrase “the stats says…” doing far more work than it should. We’ve spent a long time saying the same thing now: win rates are summaries. Useful ones, but only if you’re prepared to ask what’s underneath them.

Reflection on 2025 / Did I get better at AoS yet? Here is my generic intro to article where I say I’m back and sorry for the long break between articles! I didn’t realise quite how long it had been until I sat down to finish this one off and get it ready to publish. Wow, it’s been 4 months and another battlescroll in the meantime since that article. I’m so out of practice I couldn’t even decide on a title so you get two.

Woehammer Data Literacy: Same Win Rate, Different Stories One of the most misleading things about faction win rates is how convincing they look when two armies sit next to each other on the chart. Cities of Sigmar and Gloomspite Gitz are a good example. Across the September Battlescroll both faction finished with almost identical headline win rates of 53%. To many players that reads as balance. Two factions that are equal in strength.

Stormcast Eternals: Story Mode Narrative play in Warhammer Age of Sigmar often falls into one of two camps.On one side, you have full campaign systems that are deep and structured, but also time and admin heavy, as well as being difficult to maintain. On the other, you have one off narrative battles. These are fun in the moment, but once the game ends, thats it.

From the Hobby Desk: Empire of Man – Longbows This series is simple. What I've actually painted, based and is ready for the table will be shown. No nearly done here! Some of this will be for current projects, some for slow-grow challenges, some because a unit has been sat half-built since last century and is quietly judging me. It’s a mix of Age of Sigmar, Old World, 40k and other projects that refuses to die.
