Chaos Daemon QnA: Its Time for Some Questions
Now we can finally get to some answers, as someone with the codex is has been gracious enough to come on board and do a QnA to answer many of the questions that are still plaguing us. So remember the number one rule, please do not ask for the following, and be courteous.
Tyranids: Carnifexes, Deepstriking Emplacements, and a New Psyker
A Tyranid codex is being worked on, and it looks like it will be sometime next year at the earliest. This does not mean that there will not be any updates for our favorite bugs before hand, but that a codex is at least a sometime around a year+ away.
Tau and Eldar Hints. Whats Missing?
Even though we have rumors that Tau are next, and Eldar after that, we have more hints that something is under way. At Warhammer World the displays are once again missing portions of the armies on display there. We had this once before that I can recall off the top of my head, when Chaos Marines were missing, so perhaps there is something to this.

Tearing Through the Veil: Lots of Daemon Rules
There are lots of daemon rules here, and while some duplicate, there is a ton more here to digest. It seems a lot of work into these rules, and even from a fluff perspective, they are looking pretty tight from first glance. For example a Keeper of Secrets getting preferred enemy against Eldar and Dark Eldar.
An Introduction and Words on Winning with Tyranids Part 1
Howdy Faeit212 readers! My name is Reece, or Reecius as I go by on the interwebs here to introduce myself and to talk competitive bugs.
The Definitive Answer About What Is Going On At Forgeworld
While a lot of Daemons are being discussed, its time for a brief break, as we get to the bottom of exactly what is going on over at Forgeworld regarding a move to going more mainstream. This is very detailed, and should answer most of the questions we have had over the last 6 months or so on the issue.
Daemonic Psychic Powers, Gifts, and Artifacts
Daemons of Chaos are getting psychic powers now, which brings them on par in the psychic battles that can rage across the tabletops. Here is a new set of information just in concerning Daemonic Psychic Powers, gifts, and artifacts.

Inside the New Codex/Armybook Are Here
There are many pics now floating around with images of the inside of the codex and army book. Take a look around if you are interested in them.
Chaos Daemon Rules: A Better Translation
The bits of rules we have been getting today were in German, and now we have an even clearer translation from one of our readers here. I thought I would share this before we move on to more information.
Chaos Daemon Rumors:Translated
A massive rule dump has been made. The translations for them are below, as well as the original text.
Warpstorm Table
The new Chaos Daemons are going to have some randomness thrown into them, in the form of the Warpstorm table according to the latest White Dwarf battle report and current rumors. This was found on GW fanworld and posted up across the forums. Thought I would share it.
Forgeworld Going Mainstream?
My email has been full today, and here is another bit from a reader regarding Forgeworld. I do very little ordering from Forgeworld, so I have to rely upon readers. Are these clamshells new?

Faeit 212 BlogExchange: Blogs From Around the World
This is bound to be a busy week for everyone regarding the latest codex release for 40k. So make sure you take a few minutes to sit down and relax with a little bit of casual reading., There are 5 new blogs again this week for your reading so check them out.
Chaos Daemon Information: Instability, Point Costs, and Blood Thirster Stats
We are getting almost no codex information yet, but lucky for us, we have our first real bit of information from someone that has spent some time with the codex. It might be later that we try and get a QnA session going, but at the moment we, at least myself, are grateful for what we get.
Chaos Daemons: Dedicated Transports?
We have been granted nothing really solid as far as the new Codex is concerned. However, the community is finding little hints here and there. Of course the biggest source we have seen is the latest White Dwarf, but other bits are starting to crop up.
Daemonic Instability
Daemonic Instability is coming. A lot of players are very worried about exactly what daemonic instability will be, and a lot of us, like myself do not know that currently there is daemonic instability on the fantasy side of things. So here is a what I could dig up about how it works currently, so that we can get an idea on maybe how it will be working when the new codex/army book is released.

Presence of Faeit: Dark Eldar, Chaos Daemons, and Craftworld Alaitoc
This week Daemons were revealed, and Chaos Daemons as we know them are on their last few final days.

Fall of the Daemon Prince?: New Stat Line
A new stat line has been posted on the Games Workshop website for Daemon Princes, and wow, is it low. If rumors are true and Daemons are losing Eternal Warrior, all you can do is hope that Daemon Princes get to keep it. T4?

Tyranids Next:For April's White Dwarf
Earlier today I received an email that the next White Dwarf (April's edition/ released in March) was seen, and in it, Tyranids were spotted. Exactly what it was that was seen is still a mystery, but its still exciting to think that our favorite bugs might just be next for some sort of an update or release.
Daemon vs Dark Eldar Battle Brief
A Couple nights ago I was able to squeeze in a game against the old Daemons, a sort of send off for the old codex, since the new one is right around the corner. So playing againt the now old codex, I sent in my Dark eldar to see what would occur.
Chaos Daemons Release Video
For some time I have been enjoying these videos, as it gives us our first real good look at the models. I always find the pictures that we get, or the first leaked images to be rather limiting and sometimes not flattering.
Today Daemons Are Up for Pre-Orders
Even if you have been sleeping under a rock, you know that Chaos Daemons are now up for pre-orders. Its a very nice book release this time around, with one limited edition book being released for each Chaos God in both gaming systems (fantasy and 40k).

Chaos Daemon Rules: Valuable Information
The White Dwarf is basically out now, and rules are being gleaned from it and the battle report therein as we speak. Here is the latest information on the latest Codex Chaos Daemons.
March Releases: The Full List
March Releases are Full of Daemons, limited edition releases, and even a selection of Hobbit models. The most fun of course is that the codex/army releases are full of limited edition releases, one for each of the chaos gods.
I wanted to include the entire pic, so you may have to double click or download the pic to see what is on it.
This image of course is from the Faeit 212 inbox, from an anonymous source.

A few brief snippets of rules are appearing over the internets. We are looking at a 36" S8 AP4 Skull Cannon, and possibly more. It is confirmed through pic leaks that plague drones are Jet Packs of some sort. (everything is still very fuzzy)
Getting the Jump on Death From the Skies
Death From the Skies has been one of the most difficult supplements to figure out exactly what is in it, and more importantly if I want it. (of course I do). First off, I do not have the book, and I will probably get it down the road as it becomes available again.
Confirmations on Daemon Authors
OK, we now have a confirmation on authors. Its Phil Kelly for 40k's Chaos Daemons, and for Fantasy its Matt Ward.

Pics of the Week: Ultramarines
The Ultramarines at one time were found at every game store, and to be honest, I miss them. They are very rare to see around anymore, but there are some big Ultramarine armies out there. Its just now that Dark Angels are the latest marine codex and were in the starter set, it is a fact that Dark Angels are the new GW poster boys. So taking a look back at the only marine chapter to get their own movie.... Ultramarines are the these for this week's Pics of the Week.
Direct Only Release and Retailers Respond with Bans
Some independent retailers are taking a strong stand against Games Workshop's new release "Death from the Skies", and banning it from their stores. Its not what is in the book that has become the issue, but rather that the release is direct only.

Death From the Skies has just arrived, and already Games Workshop has put out an errata for the new supplement. If thats not trying to keep up on it, than I don't know what is. Here is the relevant information that is in it regarding Grey Knight Stormravens.

Public Service Announcement from the GW Dev Team
There is one thing for sure: 6th Edition 40k thus far has had a flurry of releases, updated FAQs, and waves of models. Things are changing for Games Workshop, and in my opinion its a welcome change.
