Necromunda Insight from Nova
It is true that the latest incoming game will be rather flat, However the game is being demo'd at the Nova Open, and we were told that the game will include future expansions that will include moving out from the under hive to industrial areas for more vertical gameplay with existing Games Workshop terrain.
On top of those future expansions we were told that there will be future expansions going beyond the Hive Gangs possibly giving us different options to play arbites., from elite forces to over all planetary police forces.
The two forces coming to the box set are Eschers and Goliaths with more to come.
Hot News from Nova
I just want to chime in that GW has just formally announced to the Nova Open the following three codices will be released before November?

What's On Your Table: Dystopian Wars
What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics to natfka@live.com
This submission is a bit bitter sweet for me - as you might guess. I recently got into Dystopian wars and have been building a large Republique of France force (I love those heat lances). Ive been steadily painting over the year + got caught up in the recent kick starter so the shock closure of Spartan games has left me pretty gutted :(
Total War: Warhammer 2 - Serpent God Edition Unboxing
Total War II is coming soon, and Im all hyped up to play it. Here is what the special Serpent God Edition looks like.
Time is Running Out: Soon Someone Will Own These Armies Massive Armies
With only days before the Nova Open starts, its time to get any jump on any of the raffles going on for any of the raffles, and especially those very large armies that you have a chance of winning for as little as $10. You can get in on all three and really improve your chances, and you do not need to be present to win. Here is what the Nova Open Charitable Foundation says about its charities.
Nurgle Preview: The Horticulous and Beast Handler Preview
Two new models coming out of the Blightwar box set are given a preview with a first look at it's rules.
New Rumour Engine Teaser today
New Rumour Teaser from Games Workshop is up today. I always want to say Tyranids, but today it looks like a Nurgle teaser.

Rumors are going to be wild for a bit, with an image and some talk of minor races......
Interesting Package from Ebay.
This is an interesting email sent in from readers here on Faeit 212, and I can answer a little of it..... USPS apparently has been using FedEx due to forest fires depending upon where the packages have to be shipped. I would imagine the storm conditions in Texas right now will also effect shipments. The rest of it, I will leave to the community here to explain.
Preview: The Legio Custodes Orion Dropship
Today Forgeworld shared with us a look at the upcoming Legio Custodes Orion Dropship. (I wish they had previewed it painted, as the image from the bottom of the model looks more detailed than the top of the model.

NOCF Charity Raffles: The Fisher House Foundation
I tend to focus a lot on NOCF's charity raffles this time of the year, especially on the armies and models that you can win with the raffles. What I don't often spend much time on is why I spend the effort that I do here on these, and just how our hobby can make a difference in real peoples lives.

Getting to the Bottom of the Codex Release Order
The last couple days we have seen a couple rumored release orders for Warhammer 40,000, and it seems that they are not panning out. Ive been told specifically by a very good source chiming in that both lists are off. Here is what I was told.
Chaos Wins their First Planet in the Fate of Konor Campaign
Chaos takes their first victory in the summer campaign, although that leaves them a long road ahead if they are even going to make a it a good fight for the overall campaign. There are two more weeks left.
List of Codices to be Released this Year.... The last three will be released the same day.
A little insight was sent my way regarding the upcoming Warhammer 40,000 Codex releases for the year. Here is the remaining list, as well as which three will be last, but released on the same day.

What's On Your Table: Old School Chaos Predator
What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics to natfka@live.com
Howdy! It's Thor from Creative Twilight: https://creativetwilight.com/
So, this is an old school Chaos Predator that I put a lot of work into
refurbishing. I stripped the paint, tore it all apart, cleaned it up,
and put it all back together. I then painted it for my Chaos Marines,
the Disciples of Twilight.

Today's Rumor Engine Teaser: The Barrel of a Gun
"Update on this List" Possible Codex Release List and Rumored Dates through the end of the year
Ive received an update on this list from a source on Faeit 212, basically saying that this is not accurate. So please cross it off the list.
This looks like it could be rather accurate, or at least as so far as the next few releases, and those that have already come to be.
Today's Featured Models: Adeptus Mechanicus Sicarian Infiltrators
Every day the guys and gals over at NOCF are featuring one of the raffles they have going, to show off some of the best painted (Far beyond what I could Paint) miniatures around that are up on this years raffles.

What's On Your Table: 10,000pts of Craftworld Eldar
What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics to natfka@live.com
There are over 10,000 points that include each unit in the codex (and some duplicates). I started collecting them over 15 years ago and the painting technique has affected me but I'm proud of my work, especially in modifying poses or creating patterns from scratch (such as winged Autarch or Skorpion-Wraithlord).

What's On Your Table: Hellraiser
What's On Your Table: To submit your work, please send up to 8 pics to natfka@live.com
Hi there, thought I'd do up a couple Keepers of Secrets that are a different approach to the traditional...ala Clive Barker's Hellraiser. These are done at 6" to be more in line with the height of modern greater daemons.
The Citadel Paint System in your Pocket
We dont yet have many details on this, but what a cool idea, and very helpful for the entire hobby community.
