AAR- Exploring 8th Edition 40K

With nearly all my terrain coming from used resale shop toys, I inevitably end up with some extras that don’t exactly fit ... Read more

US forces heard rumors of an abandoned German military base deep in the Białowieża Forest. German scientists had apparently been performing rift experiments on bison local to the area.
