25 New Games Workshop Paints
A new set of paints? It seems Games Workshop is continuously diversifying its hobby range and adding more products to it. This bit is perhaps some early information that we will be seeing more paint coming soon.
Exploring the Possibilities of Reconquest Phase 1
With Reconquest Phase 1 now available for everyone, there was some interesting talk in the comment section about what may be really driving the different factions. Could the Shaltari be the ultimate foe of Humanity?, What is the Post Human Republic's master plan.
The Fate of Rough Riders
Rough Riders are not available, and for the immediate future will not be. Here is an email response from Games Workshop regarding Rough Riders.
The Dark Eldar Tantalus Answers?
There was a rumor last week regarding a possible Dark Eldar Tantalus, and today we have a little more possible insight to what it is. While the options of what it could be are still possible, like an alternative to Vects Dais of Destruction, this may be the answer to what was seen.
Last Chance Tickets to Win: Nova Open Charitable Foundation
The final hours are here to get your raffle tickets to win the armies for charity through the Nova Open Charitable Foundation. A very good way to get a chance to win, which btw would be fantastic to hear a reader from here winning. The thing that strikes me the most about these is raffles is that 95% of the money gained goes to vital organizations in our world, like Doctor's Without Borders, and the Fischer House. When Great People come together between our Community and through these Organizations, good things happen.

Games Workshop has an excellent new box set out this week, with which three different models can be made from. definitely an excellent model no matter which you choose to construct. The three options for the new box set, are Mannfred von Carstein, Arkhan the Black, or Neferata the Mortrarch of Blood.
Revelations On the Resistance: Starter Set Battle Report!
Last night I was up a little late, getting in a very special battle for a report today. A starter set battle report with the Resistance. I was very interesting on how this army was going to play out, and when my opponent jumped in with his Rapiers and quickly downed my Lifthawk in one of the first shots fired in the game, I was a little disappointed...... However, the Resistance gave it a good fight, and some surprising new insight was gained.
Cerastus Knight-Castigator and Hourse Terryn Upgrade Kit
A new set of releases from Forgeworld today which includes the Cerastus Knight-Castigator. These models have been seen before, but now they are available to be ordered from Forgeworld.

What's This? Something New Found in Plain View!3
A new model found from Games Workshops "What's New Today"? Quite possibly, as it looks like a new model, or one that I am not familiar with. Not my find though...... Steve the Warboss, pointed it out during the latest discussion. Check out the mode circled in the image below.
(all images are from What's New Today)

This is part 2 of what Mike sent in, as he has been working hard on several projects, including his Sicaran Venerator and Omegon conversion.
Shaltari and Allied Resistance Famous Commanders
Apparently I had one left one set of commanders off from my overviews of the new Reconquest Phase 1 book. The new expansion is due out for release this weekend!, and is a fantastic book. I have now read the book from front to back, and I can tell you its full of information on each faction, new rules, missions, and new units.
Dark Eldar Early Insights
Dark Eldar are rumored to be coming very soon. Of course this site becoming dedicated rumors started with Dark Eldar, and with that I am already digging for any early signs of where this codex might be leading.
My Dark Eldar are hungry........
NOCF Countdown! Chance to Win some Fantastic Armies
We are on the final countdown for the Charity raffles for the Nova Open Charitable Foundation. For those of you that follow the news there are many series issues that the charities supported by Nocf support, including the out of control Ebola outbreak going on. This is one of those rare chances for you not only to win some fantastic armies or cases, but to find a hobby oriented event to really make a difference in what is going on in the world around us.
What's Going to Happen with the Dark Eldar Codex
The Dark Eldar brings lots concern for Dark Eldar players. Why? There are lots of characters and some other units (like the Voidraven) with no model. Mandrakes don't work, nor does the Court. There are some things here that I just see happening.... like Vect becoming a Lord of War, and what an awesome model that might end up becoming, the final release of the Voidraven Bomber (been done from reliable sources, and a minor tweeks.

Both Dark Eldar and the Inquisition have something in common now, that they are on the rumored release schedule.

What's On Your Table: Thunderhawk Gunship
The Thunderhawk Gunship is one of those models many people hope to get some day and put together. Here is Ben's new Thunderhawk Gunship!
Details on This Week's Pre-Orders
Here is an inside look at this week's pre-orders, with Mortarchs of Nagash, and several webstore exclusive bundles. Of course we saw these on the leaked images, but here are the release details as retailers often get to see them.
Leaked Images for This Week's White Dwarf
There are of course more leaked images coming for this weekend's White Dwarf release. The next few weeks will have some very nice looking models coming from Games Workshop.
The Four Books to the Endtimes: When They Will Be Released
There are 4 books that are coming for the End Times in Warhammer Fantasy. These will lead us right up to a new rulebook, most likely heavily effecting the background and storyline for Warhammer Fantasy. Doing this really puts some excitement into Fantasy for myself, and others, who would like story lines to move forward with major events such as this.
What's On Your Table: Inquisitor Van Helsing and Retinue
An excellent second half to start off the week for What's On Your Table with Van Helsing and Retinue

Leaked: What is Included in Undead Legions
The Nagash book is leaking, and what units from both Tomb Kings and Vampire Counts that can be used in the new Undead Legions is being revealed.
Dataslate: Officio Assassinorum
The new Officio Assassinorum is out now, and by now everyone has seen that the assassins for the most part have gotten a slight boost here and there. In fact, some of my favorites from the novels, the Culexus by all looks will now see some light of day. Of course over the years I have always been trying to field these guys, but in the end they just have never really made the impact that they should.

What's On Your Table: Maulerfiend
It's been a few nights since I have returned to What's On Your Table, and the biggest reason is because of hardware issues I am having. No matter, it will all be figured in no time. Back to the show...... First up is Bonefish's Maulerfiend.
Faeit's Tarot: The End Times are Here.
This week we saw the release of Grey Knights and the Assassin dataslates. While this was expected, Grey Knights ended up being one of the shortest releases we have seen in a long time, with almost no real attention to them. No new model releases. While disappointing, its easy to see where all the sculpting effort was put, as we saw leaks of new Warhammer Fantasy models arriving for the campaign, The End Times, starting off with Nagash.
Leaked Information Saying Crom the Conquerer is to Return
We have had notice of a couple characters in the new Warhammer Fantasy Nagash book. The End Times looks like it will bringing in many characters, including Valten and Vlad von Carstein. Now there are rumors that Crom the Conqueror is coming as well.
Release Schedule: The End Times Week 2 and 3
We have seen a lot of beautifully done models that will follow the Nagash release that just went up for pre-orders. Games Workshop models for Warhammer Fantasy are often just amazing, and the leaked images for future releases just reinforce that. So what are the next couple weeks going to look like?

M20 Zhukov, The Ultimate in Resistance AA
There is a new boss in town, and its the new Resistance AA tank the Zhukov. Its a rare tank, and expensive in point costs, but in its role of AA Zone Control, this is the new master of the table.
The Latest on the Nagash Book: Pre-Orders
Now already up for pre-orders, Nagash Book 1 will include rules for Valten, and a Chaos Warrior Champion. By far, Nagash is a top notch model with amazing detail. I have the old one, and there is just no comparison.
Lord of Change Spotted?
A reader here on Faeit 212 has spotted something interesting. I have not been able to confirm or check to see if I can find it myself, but a Lord Change release would be a long time waiting for new greater daemon models.
Please consider this a rumor. I am working on some technical issues (computer crash), and will look into this more ASAP.
Via a reader on Faeit 212
I thought you might find this interesting. I was checking out GW's mobile site (can't confirm on the full site at the moment) and under Special Availability / While Stocks Last for Warhammer Fantasy what appears but the Lord of Change. Could be a fluke but perhaps we'll be seeing plastic greater daemons sometime soon.
Night Lord and Iron Warriors Contemptor Dreadnoughts
Up for pre-order are two new Contemptor Dreadoughts from Forgeworld this morning, with a release date of the 28th. The Contemptor Dreadnoughts have always been some of my favorite models from Forgeworld, and now they have finally released these two dreadnoughts for two very cool legions.

The Reign of Millions of Years.........
An Easter Egg left behind on What's New Today on the Games Workshop site left everyone with a message..........
"The Reign of Millions of Years will end, the great exodus will begin."
The Question now lies....... What does this mean!!!!!!!
Resistance Fighters.
Resistance Fighter are the standard infantry choice for the Resistance, and they are going to be a force to be reckoned with. In CQB =close quarter combat these infantry very much equal the UCM or Scourge with an armor of 2 and CQB of 1. They do have the subterranean rule which is fun, but it's their gin that are exciting.
Their assault rifles have the small arms-6 rule, but they also come with 5 E6 shots that have sc and focus -2 rules. Of course their range is limited, but with focus -2 you can quickly get a high strength shot with some punch.
Load them up on a battle bus and their MOve Fire of 0 now becomes 6" and they can fire our of the bus.
Balance is key though in Dropzone and those rpg's are only L-1. Not to mention firing out of a battle bus gives you a +1 accuracy penalty. However apply those concepts to the exotic occupation veterans and you have some very deadly battle buses running around with captured Scourge Plasma Rifles.
I am seeing lots of fun and exciting ways to build a Resistance list. We will be talking a lot more in the coming days on more fun with DzC.
