Games Workshop and the Golden Tickets

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this giveaway from Games Workshop..... is that they just might be giving the factory over to one of the 5 golden ticket holders. Joking aside, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was my first image and not a bad thing when its replaced by 7' of Citadel Miniatures. (although if given the choice I would prefer the Factory).

Midnight Sorrow- More Hints of Harlequins Coming

Harlequins went up for pre-orders today, and and with it came the new White Dwarf with a hint of what is coming next week. Of course this just could be the codex, but to me it sounds like a new unit for the Murder Clowns. Very cool.

Eternal Crusade Giveaway- Less than 24 Hours to Go

There has been an amazing response to the Eternal Crusade Founder Pack Giveaway. In fact we are well over a hundred entries now, and we are less than 24 hours away from closing the giveaway.

Pre-Orders and Hints of More Kits to Come: Harlequin Video

Flyers Everywhere!

Hey everyone, Reecius here from Frontline Gaming to talk about a trend we've been seeing in the meta: Flyers are back in a big way!

Stats Included With the New Necron Overlord

This looks new, or at least I had not seen it before with the last clampacks I have bought. Stats and modelling instructions? Definitely an interesting twist and the direction that a lot of miniature companies seem to be going.


This pic was sent in by a reader.
Just wanted to give you the heads up, I've managed to get my Necron overload early and inside the clampack are the basic stats! As fa as I know this is the first time this has happened?

Smaug is Back!!! For Another Limited Run

Back with another 500 miniatures available, Smaug is back on the Games Workshop webstore again. Of course I know there are not 500 left.... at least one reader has already picked one up. Its a massive model, that sold out the first time, and $490 it will be interesting to see if they sell out again.

Sevatar: First Captain of the Night Lords- Pre Orders.

Sevatar the first captain of the Night Lords is up for pre-orders today. A huge fan of one of my first 40k armies, any Night Lord release always has my attention. This one is aggressive and violent, and fits right into the images I have of the Night Lords. I particular I love the weapon design of this model.

Leaked Images: Necron Codex

There are now also leaked images from the Necron codex floating around the internet, which of course always happens anytime I am away from the desk. So just to keep everyone up to date as much as I can, here are some links to the latest Necron leaks.

Necron Codex QnA and Harlequin Confirmations

There is a Necron Codex going on, and has been now for some time over on the Tyranid Hive. I have have been very sick all last night and this morning, so I have not had the chance to get in there and wrap all the information into one nice overview. I will after I get back from my appointment this afternoon.

Bits and Pieces: Nightbringer Points, IA8, and More

I am not on top of my game today, and fallen a little sick. However, that does not mean that interesting rumor bits and pieces dont come in. So yes, while I am calling in sick, I am putting together a quick post showing some of the interesting things that have come in that I have not had the time to investigate further, but were on my list to look into today.

This Year 2 Forgeworld Event Only Miniatures

This year Forgeworld is doing two event only miniatures for the Horus Heresy Weekender, and these were revealed today in their bulletin. Last year was a nice model as well, the Imperial Navigator. I think these ones look nice, but it always saddens me that these will only be available to most of us through ebay. That is the crux though of event only miniatures.

The Art of Death: Harlequins Officially Announced in Teaser Video

The Art of Death is the name of the new Harlequin Teaser from Games Workshop. If you had any doubts, they should be gone now, and get ready for some great fun with the new Harlequins!!!!

Necron Codex Rumors

There has been lots of rumors over the last few weeks regarding Necrons, and many of them directed towards leaks from early looks at the White Dwarf. However, I wanted to make a distinct difference in some of the leaks we have lately, because these are direct codex leaks instead of information from White Dwarf, and are very solid. 

Leaked: Next White Dwarf Cover Pic and Harlequin Rumor Compilation

Harlequins really are looking to be a multi-week release, and it will be a ton of fun to see just how far it goes. I have heard someone saying 4 weeks, but I think it was speculation and not based on anything. 2-3 weeks seems very doable right now at this point, and I have already dug out my old metal Harlies.

More Necron Information Flowing

Here is another set regarding Necron rules and changes in the new codex. These come off of Warseer, where the source showed a brief tiny pic of part of the codex (to prove his information). The only things here is that it was all translated, but should give some good insight to even more Necron insights.

Necrons: The C'tan

Earlier we had the powers of the C'tan. That left lots of questions about many things, like stats, points, powers, of which some are being answered as we get a closer look at the C'tan from the new Necron Codex.

Necrons: The Powers of the C'tan

The Powers of the C'tan have been hotly contested and looked at since it was revealed that the powers are randomly generated on a dice (or drawn from the deck of cards). So this morning we have a look at the powers of the C'tan.

Necron Codex: Stat Changes

Most everyone is concerned and looking right away for any changes to their current models they field. With that our source has provided some of those changes from the new Necron Codex release that will happen next week. This should really help those that are looking to find the biggest changes.

More Necrons: Army Special Rules and Warlord Traits

More Necron information leaks are here, this time looking at Special Rules and Warlord Traits. While Warlord Traits are always hit or miss in my opinion, its worth taking a look at the Reanimation Protocols and Living Metal rules for the new Necron Codex.

Necron Codex: The Decurion Detachment Rules!

The introduction of a new type of Detachment has brought up many questions, and is the first bit of information from the Necron Codex that is due for release next week. This opens up a lot of new options, and of course comes with its own restrictions. The biggest advantage here is that the Decurion Detachment is a Battle-Forged army composition, not unbound.

Deredeo Dreadnought Pre-Orders are Up

The Deredeo Dreadnought has been revealed today for pre-orders on Forgeworld. It has seperate weapons detachments that have to be bought separately, and the experimental rules for the new Dreadnought are already up.

Necron Pre-Orders are Up!

Necrons are up for Pre-Orders right now, which appears at this time to be a one week release. There are many things that we are looking at, like the Decurion Detachments, and anything major that changes with this release. With the exception of a Necron Overlord model, there is not much in the way of new models.

Overlord Stats Revealed by Games Workshop!

I am getting lots of emails on this, and here is the image that everyone is talking about! yes, you have to zoom in close, and you can do that on the GW website relatively well. Here is also what other readers are picking up off of this.

Harlequin Troupe Rules- New Dedicated Transport......

A new vehicle is coming out for Harelquins, the Starweaver. Here we had thought the Venom would be the transport of choice.... Perhaps the new Starweaver dedicated transport is a Venom Variant, or something else entirely. The listing for it puts this as a dedicated transport for Harlequin Troupes.

Of course there is more, lets take a look at the rules for next week's Harlequin Troupes.

Solitaire Rules and Hints of What's to Come

By now you know that he Harlequins are coming next week. The Solitaire release is awesome, and now we have some really cool rules to match. He is fast, has eternal warrior, and looks like he can be deadly in close combat. Definitely on my wish list for models now.

Harlequins are very much looking like a next week release. This has been a long time coming, and already I am dusting off a crate full of older Eldar models to find my old Harlequins. Here is another hint that reveals Harlequins are just a short hop, skip, and jump away from being revealed.

Rumors: The Future of Detachments

The latest Decurion Detachment for Necrons that has just been revealed this week, is shedding light on what may very quickly become a way for Games Workshop to specialize armies to fit into a quick narrative. While codex supplements were doing this in a bigger way, with new warlord traits and artifacts, this way of quickly restructuring a codex's forces into specialized detachments, may become a very regular occurrence.

The Powers of the C'tan, and More Leaked Pics

More information is out, and its just a matter of digging it up, or in this case, going back over it (I missed this one the first time I read it). This reveals a little how C'tans powers work, and the leaked iamges below show off the new Necron Overlord model.

Endtimes: Archaon- The Forces
