This week, Warhammer TV<\/a> spreads its shows over three entirely different corners of the Warhammer hobby, starting with a rummage through the forbidden archives marked \u2018Word Bearers\u2019.<\/p>\n

Live Now: Loremasters \u2013 The Word Bearers Legion<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably heard of the Word Bearers as those intensely fanatical followers of the Chaos Gods, but as we\u2019ll learn on Loremasters today, they weren\u2019t always the 41st Millennium\u2019s premier ideologues. Back in the day<\/a>, they directed their fanaticism towards the Emperor of Mankind, and being the understanding sort that he is, he accepted their devotion with grace and humility.<\/p>\n

Just kidding, he made them watch as he burned their perfect city to the ground for daring to go against his Imperial Truth. Ever since, they\u2019ve shacked up with gods who actually appreciate their worship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you want to learn more after watching today\u2019s episode, check out the Black Library novels Know No Fear<\/a> (which details the war at Calth), Betrayer<\/a> (which follows Lorgar and Angron as they crusade across Ultramar), and The First Heretic<\/a> (which explains the very beginning of the Horus Heresy). You can also read about their exploits in our Pages from the Black Books<\/a> series.<\/p>\n

Live Tomorrow: Victory Pointers \u2013 Warhammer Age of Sigmar: The Combat Phase<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In-depth tactical coverage of the Mortal Realms continues this week as Victory Pointers collars Matt from the Warhammer Studio to talk all about the Combat Phase in Warhammer Age of Sigmar. As one of the most pivotal phases in the game, the rough and tumble of close combat is an arena to be mastered above all others, and today\u2019s episode goes through some top tips and tricks.<\/p>\n

Live on Thursday: Warhammer Colour Masterclass \u2013 Blood Angels Intercessor<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With so many Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon<\/a> boxed sets in hobbyist hands, it stands to reason that a lot of you have some Intercessors that need painting. The new episode of Warhammer Colour Masterclass helps you to get the most out of your Space Marines, showing you how to paint them as \u2019Eavy Metal-style Blood Angels.<\/p>\n

You can watch Loremasters right now on Warhammer TV, while Victory Pointers comes out on Wednesday and Warhammer Colour Masterclass lands this Thursday.<\/p>\n
