Faeit 212 Blog Exchange - Just AddedThe Blog Exchange is simply put, an exchange of warhammer 40k related blogs links. The idea is to get them all into one place so that blogs out there are a little easier to find. With FTW being put on hold, other means to search the thousands of related blogs is going away. Placing a listing of 40k…
Excuse the MessI am redoing the layout of the blog, and am seeing what currently will work the best. It will probably be this way for a little bit tonight and possibly into the morning.…
Presence of Faeit - Psycannons and NecronsThere have been a ton of rumors this week, including the dreaded Psycannon's stats and the rebirth of the rumor that Necrons are indeed on their way. I beleive those two things are on the highlight reel of the week, although not the most important by any means. Presence of Faeit is a weekly editori…
Necron Rumor CompilationOn the Necron front, the recent rumor mill has put Necrons back on the map.

You can read that post here. 2011 Release Schedule. Thus far the…
Dark Eldar Tactica - RaidersDark Eldar are overall the most fragile army out there. You have options to make yourself tougher, but you really cannot deny having your transports armor 10 and open topped that you are going to lose them. Probably all of them. When that happens you are going to lose your warriors and wyches on boa…
The Black Crusade - New RPG from Fantasy Flight GamesFantasy Flight Games has just announced the Black Crusade RPG game. Here you get to play a servant of Chaos, either Chaos Space Marine or Heretic. It is too bad this did not coincide with a new 5th edition Chaos codex, but since that is a ways off, I am glad to see GW exploring the dark side. Even t…
Necrons Are BackThere is just something about Necrons that I am looking forward to. I feel they their codex is the most rule broken 4th edition codex out there. We'll be back really has a hard time working, and often necron players play it wrong. (I am being nice because some are making things up and often need to …
Psycannons, Psilencers and Incinerators of My! Grey KnightsNow that we have an idea of what a Psycannon is alongside some of the other weaponry of the Grey Knights we can make a couple comments on them.

Release the Monsters - Battle BriefMost of you have read Woes of Dark Eldar that was posted a couple weeks ago. If not here it is. Link. Basically I lost 900 points round 1 with my Dark Eldar MSU list. It was rematch time, and I can safely say that the battle started horribly. …
Grey Knights - Unbreakable Venerable DreadnaughtsWhile I generally do not get into specifics or rumors or project what is coming, this one had me thinking. It looks like from rumors that venerable dreadnaughts are going to get fortitude. This is all a little ahead of what we know for sure, since we do not have the codex in hand. Now we all know th…
We'll be Back. Maybe.The Necron rumor mill have been very quiet of late. So when something pops up, even if it is very very faint, its time to post it. Necron players I am sure at the moment are hanging on every thread just hoping to get a glimpse of when their codex is getting the 5th edition treatment. While necrons d…
Presence of Faeit "Leaked Grey Knight Codex"This week was dominated by the leaked copy of the Grey Knight Codex and the release of the reinforcements for Dark Eldar.

Grey Knights Codex Rumor CompilationThe old compilation I was using is definetly out of date, so I found a better one. It seems more precise and has more information than the others I have dug up with point costs and stat lines. The last compilation was on Feb. 6th. Apparently people have been digging through the codex and we have a t…
Release the Monsters - Dark Eldar Haemonculi ArmyIt's time to once again unleash the Haemonculi, full of webway portals teeming with monstrous minions waiting to unleash straight into the enemies lines.

Beasts Masters and Beasts Now Available for Advance Order! (link provided)They are here, Beastmasters and their Beasts! Release the Hounds!. They are due to be released March 19th but are up for order now on the GW website. The Clawed fiend I think is the most suprising model. Really did not expect the look of it, and I am drooling to get a hold of them. I was hoping for…
Tactica of Commorragh - WracksThe biggest problem I have had with wracks is their inability to shoot. While they are good at standing still, and absorbing small arms fire, they really did not shine on me until they hit the table a few times. There are a few problems when trying to get special characters into wrack units. It rea…

The results really defined on how this piece of arcane wargear really work. Not only did I start the thread here, I also hit up some rules forums as well, to get other insights. Learning ho…
Secrets of the Dark Eldar - Denial of Wound AllocationThe Dark Eldar are insidious. In warhammer we are often trying to throw down enough wounds on a unit to take out either those special/ heavy weapons, or the leader/ independent character attached to the unit. As players to of this great game, we all know the basics of wound allocation, and how to us…

It is a copy paste from various forums, mostly "Bolter and Chainsword" and "Heresy Online"of Ciaphas Cain answering questions from the codex…
Grey Knights Questions Answered Part 1This is a lot of information being put into forums, it seems almost enough to put together the codex in many instances. That is if everything pans out, and the people answering questions on different forums have the correct information. Rumors are rumors though, until I have a codex in my hand. …
Tactics of Commorragh - Unique Opportunities Ravager/RazorwingWe all know that the Dark Eldar can blow up tanks, and do it well with most of us take a ravager with three dark lances in our heavy support choice for that part of the role.

The Inquisition Reigns Supreme - Grey KnightsThere are lots of rumor compilations running around for the new upcoming Grey Knights codex.

The latest talk pretty much just says that the rumors we have been reading …
Pure Kabalite Dark Eldar 1500 ReviewI have always avoided posting reviews for any lists sent to me, but I decided that I would start. First off a couple guidelines. 1. I will not post the senders name. If you want to be known, please post it in the comments. 2. Any rude comments to the poster will be removed. Be constructive. 3. If y…

Dark Eldar Panic and MayhemThis is a list I have been fielding. While it is now a couple generations old, its been playtested quite a bit, and it does pretty well. It is a dangerous list, both for you and your opponent, as it was the list that got pummelled after a bunch of failed assaults and bad shooting last weekend. (900p…

Blood Angel Reinforcements ArriveThey are here today officially. The long awaited Stormraven hits the shelves, along with our new Furioso, and Blood Angel Battleforce.

Testing the Limits of Dark Eldar - Extreme Target SaturationEarly on when you are just starting a codex, preferably before you start buying models, you should be seeing what can be done with your new shiney codex. I do it a lot. By a lot, I mean I probably made and scraped 15-20 lists before I hit the tabletop with my dark eldar. That might of been a little …
Dark Eldar Whispers (April)Not solid defined rumors, but are parts of forum conversation about Dark Eldar releases between two great rumor sources, BramGaunt and Harry. Take it for what it is, as the Dark Eldar rumor mill has been rather quiet. What we thought might be planned for March, could actually be April. This conflic…
