Necron Rumor Summary Debunked Part 1As far as the summary goes, they have been posted here before. However, I decided I needed to post them all together before they get addressed individually. Rumors are what they are, rumors. None of them are true or should be considered to be so, until the actual codex is in hand. Each of these ru…
Ard Boyz 2011 (link provided)I really had thought I had checked through these pages about 3-4 weeks ago and found no updates for this year. Apparently they had updated it on Feb. 21st. Regardless, the dates are in, and really most people already know of several places to play at this year. Last year I took my Guard, with this …
Counter Rumor to the switch from Metal to ResinI really do not worry about what my models are going to made of. Games Workshop will make their models, and only if the quality of the model goes away, will I switch to buying other models for my armies. So until the official announcement is made, there is really nothing to be concerned about in my…
Voidraven at the Chicago Bunker DisplayI was wondering if any of you had a couple more pics of this thing. All I have is this one shot, and while it is definitely a scratch built, I would like to see a couple more images of it. I have a file I have been building on customized and scratch built Dark Eldar models. Mostly to help spawn mo…
The Winner is..... InspirationGames Workshop recently ran the "Conquering Elites" Competition. I am if anything, always in need of inspiration in order to model work done. While my stuff pales in comparision to the skill this hobby produces, I still love to field a painted army, and the amount of work that I have to put into th…
Pics of the WeekThis week was kind of a last minute thing for the "Pics of the Week". To be honest I am not exactly sure what went into them, as I was grabbing the pics as I was heading out the door this morning. To much time spent reading this morning. I do know that the top picture is one of my personal favorite…
Metal Models Returning to StockIn an email from Games Workshop, many models were set to be returned to back in stock. While I don't know exactly how this effects the rumored metal to resin, or orders, I figured I would post this and let other people make all the assumptions and projections. Here is the list, please take it as a…
Feait 212 BlogExchange Additions X3This last week three new additions were added to the BlogExchange. You may have already seen them, since they were added almost a full week ago now. If you have not, it's worth your while to head on over to check them out. There is some excellent model work to see, as well as a very very early elda…
Necrons Will Be Back. SoonThis morning I only have a few minutes to chime in. This rumor is pretty light, but pegs those Necrons not at Halloween but before. We have been seeing rumors of the Necrons coming in August/ September for quite some time, so this is really more of a verification and yet another rumor source. I wi…
Presence of Faeit- Dark Eldar Releases, The Truth About Rumors, War Torn SkiesAnother rather slow week on the 40k front. Warhammer 40k is an amazing thing, It is a global game, and in a single week there is often enough news, rumors, battle reports etc to keep a blog like this going, even when its slow. I have this fear that I won't have anything for the next few days, and y…
Murderous Skies Artwork- Dark Eldar FlyerThanks to Dr Love for giving us a link to the new artwork for Murderous Skies. Check it out. It is definetly one of the fyers, most likely the Voidraven even though it is on the Razorwing side of the codex (same pic). The release dates is on May 28th.…
The Dark Eldar descend from the Skies in a raid on Realspace!Artwork showing the next Dark Eldar release has been seen, and it was possibly a Voidraven. This has me all fired up. In reality I want the Razorwing Jetfighter, but I want to see both. No more teasing, here is the rumor. Please take with the usual salt. (please note the above pic is the void drago…
Necron Stat LinesThe stat lines for Necron troops appeared out of nowhere. While they seem like very reliable stat lines, other apparent information that came with them from the same poster seemed a little bit out of tune. Here is the latest on necrons. …
Fridays Tau Rumor CompilationToday is Friday, incase you havent heard. While everyone is taking a close look at their elites in their armies, I saw a decent Tau rumor compilation that might have some new information on it for some people. I beleive I have heard everything on this before, however, not all of it in one place. …
Crassus Armoured Transport- New From ForgeworldDue for release on the week of April 26th is the Crassus Armoured Transport from Forgeworld. Also being released are two new decal sheets for the Minotaurs and Red Scorptions Space Marine Chapters. A transport big enough to move an entire platoon is definetly something special. …
Metal to Resin. ToxicityFirst off, its my Bad. Somewhere in the mess that is my rumor section on the computer, I lost who the author of this rumor was, and it's location. Regardless, I thought it was valuable enough to share, since it is about the toxicity of the rumored resin switch. Later when I get the time I will hun…
Inquisition Chimera Rear DoorsIts not very often that the a possible rumor gets sent straight to me. Most of the time its a link or a "Have you seen this yet?" A day or so ago however I was sent an email that may or may not be a news. Since I have not seen anything else on it, and cannot find the Inquisition Read Chimera Doors o…
Tournament Review and VideoThe tournament last weekend at Knightfall Games went on without a hitch. I was glad I went, despite being dissapointed about not bringing Dark Eldar. Instead I took my Imperial Guard. They are the painted ones in the video (last army shown). Chris (the owner at Knightfall) took the video. Jake ran…
Necron's Mysterious Rumors (possibly the worst rumors)I am going to be the first to shed some serious doubt on these rumors and normally I would pass on this one. However, there are a couple interesting things listed in here, so I thought I would throw down this morning. The poster of the rumor was posting for the first time (credibility sinking), an…
Warhammer 40k Dark Millennium Online First Playable Race (Video)This is a pretty cool video to watch. I for one am excited about this games release. It doesnt by any means say that I will be die hard about it, since I have plenty on my plate already, but I am excited to see the 40k universe come to life. Enjoy the video.…
Pics of the WeekIn general Dark Eldar pics are rather difficult to come by. There is just not a wealth of artwork for them. I have done dark eldar in the past several times, so finding new stuff is just a tremendous challenge. However, for the pics of the week today, I have a few. Here is what I could find that I…
Dark Eldar Battle Force, Grotesques, Wracks, and the CourtIt looks like we are going to see a decent sized June release for Dark Eldar. Rumors are all over the map on what is going to be released and what is not. Here are a few more rumors taken from various online conversations. On top of what they are discussing below, we are expected to see Venoms, T…
Faeit 212 BlogExchange AdditionsA new site was added to the blog exchange this morning. I want to keep people apprised of new additions so that they can head on over and check them out. Eldar related sites are always a plus to the gaming community. The Storm of Blades is a new blog where the authors current project is the buildin…
A Cool DreadKnight AlternativeThe mounted Dreadknight turns your monstrous creatures into Calvary, allowing fleet and 12" assaults. What is there not to like. I am of course joking, but the pic above is pretty cool. On Saturday people were talking about other Dreadknight options for modelling, and I had just happened to have s…
Presence of Faeit- Tyranids, Necrons, and Tournament FunThis week seemed like it was a little light for me in the warhammer 40k side of things. I mostly worked on models tryingto get things ready for the tournament this weekend. I was very dissapointed that I was not able to get my dark eldar ready in time. There were also the normal rumors floating aro…
Necron Summary Compilation and RumorsToday I had found a brief summary of necron units, and although it was brief it had some information in it that was new to me. So here I figured I would combine that with what we heard on Monday, and compile them into one single summary, with the new information typed in italics. Of note there are…
The Promethean Sun- ArtworkThe book is now available if you are one of the lucky ones to get the only 3000 hardback copies. If not, you will be waiting like myself. Vulcan hits home for many space marine players, as he is probably the most common HQ character out of the codex. Below is the rest of the artwork for the latest…
Eldar Wraithseer and Corsairs Now Available for Pre-OrderShown at Forgworld Day, the Eldar Wraithseer and Corsairs are now available to be ordered via Forgeworld. They are to be shipped the week of April 26th. Personally I love the look of the Wraithseer, but I am a little biased since I have always liked Wraithlords in general. …
Black Templar- Whispers in the WindThis morning, while packing up for the tournament, I happened across a discussion going on about the Black Templar. They are a little vague, and some of it conflicts with the order of things to come, but its a rumor nonetheless. If anything, I still think the order of things will be Necron, Sisters…
Release the Monsters Deadline Missed= FailureThe timeline for me to field my Release the Monsters Dark Eldar Portal list is past. There is just no way of fielding it properly in the tournament tomorrow. The primary reason it has to be completed, is because battlepoint wise, a fully painted army is worth a full massacre in points. Not to menti…
Salvage Operation- Missing Land RaidersApparently someone from Forgeworld at Adepticon mentioned something about a Barge going down with GW stock on board. Apparently insured, no official recovery effort was involved. So my question is, where are all you psychotic gamers and your scuba gear? This one is fun, please remember that this i…
Dark Eldar Release in JuneThe phsyical dates really do not matter to me as much, I want certain models released, and it looks like I may be waiting a while since they were supposed to be metal. Either way, any information on what is coming and when is still decent information. The rumor below gives two dates, basically mid-…
US Navy successfully tests a Laser Prototype- VideoToday the Office of Naval Research and their industry partner Northrop Grumman successfully disabled a small target vessel using a solid-state, high-energy laser (HEL), mounted onto the deck of the Navy's self-defense test ship, the former USS Paul Foster (DD 964). Previously lasers have been test…
Tyranid Second Wave and Summer of FlyersOK, seriously, it is about time we hear something about tyranids. Granted I do not play them, but information has been 0 of late and rumors had it that a second wave was coming this fall. Well, the rumors are back, as well as the rumored Wartorn Skies (summer of flyers) White Dwarf release for this…
The Xenos Must Be Purged- Promethean Sun is HereTomorrow at this time, the latest from the Black Library will be released, The Promethean Sun in a limited run. Vulkan will lead the Salamanders into the fires of war. http://www.blacklibrary.com/…
Portal Block- Preventable?The infamous portal block is a bane for quite a few Dark Eldar players. I am going to say apparently, because I haven't yet had someone successfully stop mine yet. There are some very good ways to block a portal, and I figured doing a post might just get some of these methods people are using out o…
Tau Faq. SorryI know this is not new. I first saw it posted on Yes The Truth Hurts.com two days ago. The Date on the faq was March 10th, a month ago? Really this is more about internet failure that no one noticed, than about the actual faq. Perhaps they dated the faq when they started it, and it just came out? R…
Pics of the WeekThese are relatively new pics for me, since I was having trouble with my back drives this morning. Pics of the Week is a weekly set of pics showing off the 40k universe. …
RTT 2500 Tournament- My List (Release the Monsters)I had those Haemonculi locked up since their last bloodthirsty battle, but once again it is time to release them. Tournament on Saturday. I plan on taking my Dark Eldar for their first tournament showing, assuming a couple things. First that I can wrap up the models that I am working on to do so. …
Release Schedule through 2012? Wartorn Skies Summer Expansion (summer of fliers)Here is an updated release schedule for what may be coming out. Most of it is very similar to what we have been seeing since the beginning of the year, so it seems likely that 3 codexs are due on the very near horizon. At the beginning of the year we had predicted the following- Necrons (Sept), Sis…
Necrons Are Back- Trying To Save We'll Be Back (New Necron Rumors)Way to start off our Monday morning with some Necron Rumors. It will be a good rumor day, as I already to go is the next set of rumors for the day, followed up with some Dark Eldar tournament lists as I prepare for this coming weekends tournament. Necron rumors are turning into high gear and shoul…
Faeit 212 BlogExchange - New Additions.These couple were added to the blog exchange about a week ago. I wanted to keep people apprised of new additions so that they can head on over and check them out. These were meant to be posted a week ago, but somehow with games, and modelling they somehow didnt get their post. If you have a blog y…
Presence of Faeit - Fast Attack Dilemma, Repressor, and DemuirgThis week started with a Bang. Had games scheduled, new exciting rumors or Tau and Sisters models, then it died. It didn't really die, we had tons of new Fantasy releases and information out there. The Tomb Kings new release was all over, and showed off some very cool models. Wait a minute, this is…
These Dark Eldar Are Not Coming In JuneThere are now some things we might not be seeing for awhile, however we are still supposed to be seeing models released in June. It seems that the Voidraven is pushed back. I have heard vagues about them not being ready, and needing to be pushed back. Others we will not be seeing were originally g…
Forgeworld Day 2011. Pics and Winner of the Painting Comp.OK, this model won the painting competition, and wow, it is amazing. Major kudos to Conrad Mynett with his renegade rough rider. I am just in awe of this model. If I had say, 10 or more of these, I would field simply on the coolness factor. Forge world Open Day 2011 Coverage via Forgeworld. Warhamm…
WH40k Space Marine "Behind the Scenes of the Universe".Here is a behind the scenes look at the new and upcoming video game Space Marine. It is alway a lot of fun to see the Warhammer 40k universe come to life, and get great visuals on just what the 41st millenium looks like. Very easy and fun to watch with your Saturday morning coffee.,…
Necrons and the Fall of Damnos (new fluff and rumors for July)It seems that we can sometimes gain some insight to new a new codex when checking out new Black Library releases. The Fall of Damnos is no exception. While I have not read the book as of yet, I just finished Soul Hunter, I do expect to get to it soon. Perhaps though some insight from the new Necron…
On the Tau Front (more rumors)Yet another set of Tau rumors. The first two come from novels, possibly indicating possibly some new units amongst the Kroot. While Novels I am sure have a certain liberty, its worthwhile to take a look. The rest is a full set of rumors without much detail. Here's to the Tau, and please take with s…
The End of Days for Metal. The Birth of Resin (compilation of rumors)This was supposed to go live yesterday, however, someone on staff made a mistake. Now that the staff member has been reprimanded, demoted and given a strict warning to not do it again, we can get on to the rumor. This rumor was has been circulating awhile, and been gaining strength this last week.…
Dark Eldar June ReleasesThis rumor conflicts with a few others on the time line for our next Dark Eldar releases. That's OK though, because these are rumors and not announcements. The latest gives pushes the venom out of April and into June. This is the biggest change (which could just be GW altering release plans, or the…
Pics of the WeekFinally its Tuesday. I found it quite funny that last week was the most popular Pics of the Week ever. Of course it was women in Sisters of Battle costumes, so apparently that was what it took. Regardless, this week is not Sisters of Battle costumes, but a trip down the Daemonic path. I hope you en…
Thunderwolf Cavalry Release ScheduledSomething Spacewolf players everywhere want more than anything, Thunderwolf Cavalry. Personally I cannot wait to see them on the tabletop. Not having a model makes it difficult for a lot of people to get them, and there are a lot of people waiting to spend money on this model. I hear it all the tim…
Sisters of Battle Models- What is on the HorizonHere is another rumor regarding the Sisters of Battle. Its a nice one that seems to mostly be about the models taken from computer images of what they are going to look like. There is a big discussion with this one about inquisitorial symbols, and the most logical conclusion is that the author just …
(Just Updated with more rumors) Tau Crisis Suits with Three Wounds Each?One of the bad things already this week, is how far behind on the rumors I am. I literally had to choose between 5 different choices this morning. So I started with the most reliable of the sources and authors. So the First will be a small one on Tau crisis suits and HQ's. There is a lot to do, wit…
Presence of Faeit- Sisters of Battle Leaks, Grey Knights are ReleasedThis week really was rather crazy. You have to contend with Aprils Fools Day, and the rumor mill. We had a leaked play test copy of the Sisters of Battle (4 pages long), and the rumors that Necrons, Sisters of Battle, and finally Tau will be out in short order. This weekend is also special, The Gre…
