Book Review: Hammer & Anvil

So the last few Black Library books I have read haven't been the best, so I was a little apprehensive about this one, but I was worrying for nothing. Hammer & Anvil was one of the best books I have read in a while.

This book takes place following the events of Faith & Fire (that came out almost six years ago!) and again follows Battle Sister Miriya and Hospitallar Verity.  This time they are sent to reconsecrate the destroyed bastion on Sanctuary 101. For those of you in the know, you know that this was the first time that the Imperium had contact with the Necrons.

With the Necron codex still fresh, this book was a great one to publish about the same time, and if anyone wonders whether or not the BL authors have advanced knowledge of what will be in the codex, this book proves it.

White Dwarf: Even When They Win They Fail

I have been wanting to get into a new army for some time now. I love my Space Wolves, but I would like to change gears. I have been toying around with the idea of a different chapter of space marines (seeing as I am a 3+ fanboy), but I can't get over the thought that I have four or so Rhinos and three Land Raiders done up for Space Wolves, and I don't want to buy more to paint them a different color.

For a long while now, I have been saying, "if GW would redo the Sisters so that they weren't all metal and static, I would totally do a Witch Hunter army." So now here we go, GW has redone the Sisters. And they suck.

I'm not really talking about the rules, as I'm not much of a player, but the models. I don't even think that GW even bothered to redo any of the metal models as FineCast. How does that happen? EVERYTHING is getting redone in FineCast, but nothing for the Sisters. I am so underwhelmed, I just don't know where to begin.
