What you'll find here
Releases & News
New model drops, edition updates, FAQ breakdowns, and everything Games Workshop announces — translated from corporate High Gothic into plain language you can actually use.

The 40K universe is vast, ancient, and gloriously contradictory. Our lore coverage goes beyond wiki summaries to tell the real stories — the characters, the campaigns, and the catastrophes that make this setting legendary.
Hobby & Workshop
Painting guides, terrain builds, kitbash inspiration, and showcase galleries. From basecoating your first Space Marine to blending OSL on a daemon prince — the Underhive workshop is open.
Why Hive City?
We write from the ground floor.
The Warhammer 40K content space is crowded with excellent sites. So why are we here? Because most of them write from orbit. They analyze the meta from a spreadsheet. They review codexes like academic papers. That content matters — and we respect it — but it's not the whole hobby.
Hive City writes from the ground floor. We're the blog that remembers what it felt like to open your first box of models and have no idea where to start. We're the site that treats a beautifully painted Cadian squad with the same respect as a GT-winning tournament list. We cover the entire hobby — the lore, the game, the models, and the community — because that's what makes 40K more than just a game.
"For the Emperor!"— Titus
