The next Imperial Armour cover was revealed at Games Day UK in the seminars and this is it above. I know a lot of us are waiting for this book, so its good to see this right around the corner.
What is This? Marked Work in Progress?
I am not sure what this really is, but it was taken at Games Day yesterday, and this model was tucked into the back behind some other models.
Forgeworld Seminar Information: Horus Heresy Books 3-6 Details
There is no doubt that the Horus Heresy is one of the top selling lines of books and models for Forgeworld, and since the start of this project, hobbyist around the world have been dying for any new bits of information on it. Well, Games Day UK has just passed, and now we have laid out before us many details of what is coming from the next Primarch, and information regarding the Horus Heresy books 3-6.
The Answer to Grav Weapons from the Author Robbin Cruddace Himself
Thats right, one of our readers was able to get a hold of a few moments with the author of the Space Marine codex to ask the one question that has been digging at us for week's now. This answer is good enough for me.
Dark Elf Rules and Pics from the Army Book Abound
Dark Elf rules are now flowing, and it includes pics from the Army book. Dark Elves are looking strong, and and this release is a big one that is long overdue for Warhammer Fantasy.

Wow, 3D Printer for Under $100
Times are changing, and soon games will have to come to grips with it. This is just one of the first steps in the arena of cheap 3d printers. I mean really?.... a hundred dollars?
One of our readers here saw this on his local news, and I figured it was worth sharing with everyone tonight. The Peachy Printer - The First $100 3D Printer & Scanner!

Dark Elves Confirmed 2nd Wave in November: Pics
There were lots of rumors here on Faeit 212 that a second wave of models was coming in November for Dark Elves, and it looks like we are getting confirmations.
What the @* Happened to Dark Elf Witches
OK, pre-releases are here and now official. Love or hate the models, which I do like btw, Dark Elves are here and they are a big release for Warhammer Fantasy. We have seen the prices now for a week or so, and what is being released, and like normal I spend some quality time digging through these on my own.
So what the Hell happened to Dark Elf Witches? I mean OK, the models look great, and I love the Sisters of Slaughter look, and even want them for Dark Eldar Witches and Blood Brides. But seriously, how can you justify buying them? At $60 for 10 models.
Dark Elves Are Here
Dark Elves are now up for advanced orders, and above all else, the new video has been released to youtube, showing off the models. Of course while Fantasy is not my game, there are several models here that just might be making it into my collection, as I am thinking these might mesh well with my Dark Eldar Wyches, especially for Bloodbrides.
So here they are... Take a Look

Iron Hands Legion Squad and Space Marine Castellum Stronghold
Two new Forgeworld releases are up today that will be up for pre-orders this weekend at Games Day UK. Forgeworld is going all out for the event with lots of new releases, and of course how can we forget, the Horus Heresy Book 2. Lots of exciting things, so check out the latest below, and this weekend as the pics of the event start to unfold, I will get up as much information about what is going on there as I can find.
Space Wolves, Thousand Sons, Raven Guard, and More
A few days back there was a very salty rumor that (the rumor even said so), about an Iron Hands codex supplement and its rules. Well, now you can even throw more salt on it, as someone has come in to check that rumor off our lists, and indeed let us know what is and what is not being worked on.
A New Dreadclaw by Summer, and the Kharybdis Assault Claw by Christmas
Yesterday we had a discussion and letter from Forgeworld explaining that the current Dreadclaw is done for. Lucky for us, we have some great information that a new one is being made and will be here sometime next summer..... or winter if you are south of equator. So get ready, the sky might not be falling, but you had better be watching for what is coming out of it.

Space Marine Allies for Imperial Guard..... No Thanks
There really are a lot of good reasons to ally the new Space Marines with your Imperial Guard. For myself and my Imperial Guard however, I am saying no thanks. There are three very good reasons why, and in the video and below, I will go over those.
The Future of the Dreadclaw
The Dreadclaw has not been available for a bit now, and it now appears that it is not coming back. A replacement in the works and will be released later this year. Here is the latest of responses from Forgeworld.
Games Day UK: Forgeworld Will Shine
More Dark Elf Rules: Sister's of Slaughter Stats, Witches, and Much More
More Dark Elf rules are floating around and are pouring out of the latest White Dwarf. So there is still some room for misinterpretations of what is said, but these give a very solid idea of what we will see. Take a closer look at what is being reported by a couple different people.

Special Ops Team: Shawn Saves the Day
In a conversation with Shawn from Blue Table Painting, and the Host of Valhalla, Shawn has came up with a solution to one of my problems here on Faeit 212, Special Ops Painting.
Rules: Grav Weapon Issues: Majority Toughness?
Grav Weapons have all sorts of rules questions, which of course creates all sorts of fun for us gamers when we hit the table. Today's Rules look comes to us from a reader with questions. So lets see if we can solve them. The question comes down to resolving hits in multi-armoured save units.
Dark Elf Rules: Murderous Prowess, Witches to Core, Some Points and More
New Zealand is the first to get their White Dwarf it seems, and of course they were gracious enough to post up a run down of what they have seen. Rules and more are below.
Faeit 212 BlogExchange: Blogs From Around the World
I had fallen a little behind on the updating the Faeit 212 BlogExchange, so here it is, with a full house trying to get caught up. This week I am showing 6 new additions, which is one more than I normally show, just to make sure I am caught up with new additions. So sit back, relax, and check out some new sites you may have not seen before.

Iron Hands Codex Supplement: Rumored Rules
Iron Hands, one of the top new Space Marine Chapter options in the newly released codex, now has some rumors to what we might find in a codex supplement.
Sister's of Battle and Blood Angel Digital Codex Releases
Many of you have already seen that Sister's of Battle are getting a digital codex release, but what you may not have heard..... as its getting left off of scans, is that Blood Angels are also getting an ipad edition this month alongside the Sister's of Battle.
First It Was Leaked Pics, Now Some Rules
First we had the Pics this morning, and now a few rules for all the Dark Elf kin that are going nuts this morning. This is turning into a very expensive month for many, (its too bad we did not have leaks earlier, so people could save for it), as the Dark Elf model line up looks to be one of the best I have seen.
Leaked Dark Elf Pictures at Last
Pictures have finally leaked, although they are quite poor in quality. The new Cauldron of Blood looks quite amazing, as does most of the models so far that I have taken a closer look at. Now I just cannot wait for the weekend were we should get some very close up and better pics.
Laser Cut Acrylic Templates for Dropzone Commander
Now the last time I talked to David Lewis of Hawk Wargames, there was still a question of some production issues with these. The producer of them makes very high quality products, and David was still not completely sure when these were going to be available for the game. I did get to see his set of templates though, and they are very cool. Just check out the pic above, as these are ready now for pre-orders!

Dropzone Commander: Plastic vs Resin Comparison
Dropzone Commander is coming out with an amazing deal Sept 28th...... right around the corner, its 2 Player Starter Set. This set comes with two starter sets, for the price of one, and includes rulebook 1.1, reference sheets, 10 buildings, urban street posters, and more.
One of the new things about this set, is that you get two starter sets for the price of one, and the above mentioned items. How did Hawk Wargames do this?, they made these starter sets out of plastic. We already know that the resin models for Dropzone are just incredible, with amazing detail, so how do the plastic models compare?
Here It Is: October's Full Release List-Dark Elves, Farsight...
No longer a mystery, we now know what we are looking for October's releases. Dark Elves, Farsight and much more. The Dark Elves release is Dreadspears, Witch Elves, Kharboyss, and Cauldron of Blood. Most likely remember that we are looking at a two month release on this. Very exciting for Dark Elf fans, and my codex supplement.
Video Teaser Reveals Dark Elves
For those of you that just cannot believe that pics are being held back this successfully, and that question whether or not Dark Elves are coming..... Here is a link to the video trailer revealing them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4FkKf98Z2o
The video itself is better than other teasers we have seen in the past, and reveals Sept 28th as the day for Advanced Orders.
Updated Dark Elf Releases for October
Here is the short list, and I am not sure if these are the final prices or discounted. These of course are in Euros.
Something more solid should be here today or tomorrow. If anyone has a release list, its natfka@live.com. This release is under such lock and key, its a amazing that we still do not have pre-order information yet.
A Weekend Full of Games, 40k and Dropzone
Spent the night demo'ing Dropzone Commander with some willing gamers. Fun night, and had Justin there from Cipher Studios..... who by the way just turned in the new Helldorado rulebook (coming very soon). Got some small point games in, and then talked shop for a bit. Yes, we had two tables going at once.
Also I was able to get in a game with a pure Dark Eldar list against a much more current meta, Taudar, Saturday evening. I did not win this game, but the Dark Eldar did exceptionally well considering. I will definitely get a brief battle report in on this tomorrow when I have had more sleep. Big 2500pt game where my Archon of course failed a look out sir on the first shots coming his way, followed of course by a failed shadowfield save. Two ones again.....

Dark Elves and Innocence (40k Skirmish game)
A couple new rumors today are pointing towards the 2 month Dark Elf release that we have been talking about earlier this week. This very much sounds like a separate confirmation (and not a repeat of rumors here). So here is the latest, on two things.........
Dark Elf 2 month release
Innocence (40k skirmish game)
Faeit's Rumor Tarot: The Release Schedule and Dark Elves
No, the Dark Elves have not been eaten by the Tyranids. Even though there is very little out there in leaks, Dark Elves are still coming. So maybe the bugs just ate the leaks? This week we heard a lot of rumors, delving into release schedules, Dark Elves, Tyranids, and even the Imperial Guard.

Don't Know Jack Trammell? An Introduction is Necessary
His music is dramatic, grinding, and perfection when it comes to futuristic warfare. If you have not heard of him, consider this your introduction.
For those who do not know who Jack Trammell is, perhaps you have heard his music on the many movie trailers we see. Oblivion, Ghost Protocol, Total Recall(2012), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Underworld: Awakening, The Dark Knight Rises, In Time, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, and Soul Caliber V among many others. Its no wonder that many more movies will include his work in the future.
Here is a link to his site where you can hear his latest two albums.
http://www.jacktrammellmusic.com/
Just the perfect intro for a my game tonight.
Independent Characters Embarking Into Allied (BB) Transports
A rules debate, I thought I would post up on. These things are always good to get out in the open, and get them settled.
Can an Independent Character join an allied unit in their transport, assuming they are battle brothers.?
Ferrus Manus, Primarch of the Iron Hands Revealed
Another Primarch by Forgeworld. These are the gems of collectors out there, and the Primarch models are literally things of legends.
I personally would be afraid to paint one, and this might be one of the rare times that I would consider getting a pro involved for a model. These are just fantastic pieces of art, and a must for collectors to own.
Tyranid Confirmations and the Tyranic Wars
I have been getting many source confirmations of Tyranids for January, with pre-orders in December, so it seems the information is wide spread. So while this is another confirmation for a Tyranid codex, there seems like there could very well be something else for November coming.
Hordes and Warmachine Releases
Privateer Press has some new releases on the table for both Hordes and Warmachine. Of them, I am really liking the Obstructors for Warmachine. Check out the following releases.

Dark Elf Compilation
This wont last long, as I am sure we are about to get flooded with Dark Elf information any day now. And while it does not include yesterday's rumors that were posted up today and yesterday here on Faeit 212, this is a very comprehensive compilation.
The Two Month's of Dark Elves!
More information coming in, that indeed Dark Elves will be a massive release. Not only will there be many new plastic kits out, but there will be a second month of releases as well for the Dark Elves. Its going to be an exciting two months as most of the Dark Elf line looks like its being redone.
Imperial Guard Whispers
Imperial Guard, one of the armies that people knew me by for years, is starting to come around. In 5th edition I had 100's of games in with the army, and now in 5th the army has sat mostly idle, as I have returned to my Dark Eldar. So its exciting when the Imperial Guard start getting rumors, here is the latest.
Dark Elf Rules Appearing
Dark Elves are right around the corner, and yet there has been a great silence about them hanging over the internet like a bad cold. Yesterday some rules appeared, and while these are rumors with salt required, they are still worth mentioning.
Supplement Releases, and New Units with Rules in the Box
Codex Supplements are one of my favorite things going on right now in 6th edition, of course I want print copies to catch up with digital releases, but that's another story.

Tyranids, Dwarf's and the Imperial Guard
There might be some contention on whether or not Tyranids were ever really slated for November, as sources battle it out on who is right on what, or if November was just being discussed as a release date. The one things that keeps popping up is that they are appearing in more and more rumors as being released in January. So here is the latest release schedule that is floating around the web.
Dark Elf Sightings, Prices, Cover Art, and a Few Models
Dark Elf sightings are starting to increase, and I have collected several, including a pricing list, which shows 7 plastic box sets.
Space Marines Reviews: Kor'Sarro Khan
Tyranids Pushed Back, Dark Elves Oct-Nov, and Codex Supplements Ramped Up for 2014
There is a sad rumor, and this from a good source on this side. That is that Tyranids are delayed until January. I will be trying to see if I can find more information on this today, and I can only hope that somewhere, someone was mistaken.
