</div>This is part 2 discussing an Imperial Guard Hybrid list. It is a list that comprises of 14 vehicles, and nearly 100 footsoldiers. By far it is my favorite to play on the gaming table after these last couple years of playing in 5th edition. <br>
<br>
This post is about a set of email Questions and Answers that took place over a couple weeks.<br>

</div>I have talked about this weapon for quite some time. The Autocannon used to be my favorite weapon. I mean it had everything. My chaos armies were based on it, my IG army had it deeply entwined in its foundation (Hydra Flak Tanks), and now we have the latest version of it. Well kind of.<br>
<br>
The Words of Faeit is a weekly post, dedicated to my thoughts on the strategy and tactical side of the game. They are not to be written in stone as "No plan of operations extends with certainty beyond the first encounter with the enemy's main strength" (or "no plan survives contact with the enemy"). Quoted from Helmuth von Moltke.<br>

</div>This really caught my eye, and what a wonderful model. Valthrax Astral Claws Master of the Forge with a Conversion Beamer is very cool, and with a little work could probably be used for other chapters. <br>
<br>
Also being released from Forgeworld is the Space Marine Boarding Party upgrade. A very nice upgrade set, which was given to us via a preview earlier. We also have a couple weapons for the Contemptor Dreadnaught. <br>

</div>We are all waiting on pins and needles for more Necron information to arrive. Well, this week the Necron codex was removed from the GW site, and is no longer available, at least in the US and UK. <br>
<br>
In fact we are all expecting to see something very soon from GW, possibly like we did with Dark Eldar at Games Day UK. Since Games Day UK is coming up very soon, I will be paying very close attention to any releases of information and model sightings that come out of there.<br>
