Troop & Transport Box Sets Being Released This WeekAlong side the Necron Battleforce, it looks like we will be seeing Space Marines & Drop Pod and some other troop + transport box sets.

The Words of Faeit: Mordrak and His Ghost KnightsSince last tournament I have been contemplating how I felt about fielding such an expensive and what looks like wasted points in the list. So I decided to get another game in, to see really if Mordrak and his ghost knights are tactically a smart option. I have not done this for too long and am resu…
6th Edition Leak is Real and NotJust when we thought the issue of the 6th edition leak was starting to be behind us, it resurfaces once again. This time not claiming to be fake, real, but something in between. Logically it makes sense that this would occur. I am hoping this is it for awhile, until we get some solid information. …

Rules of Our Game: The Within 1" ruleLast weekend, I had played a Chaos Daemon player roll three ones to assault through cover. He was able in the movement phase to be one inch away, so I assumed it did not matter what he rolled. However, he claimed he did not make it. I told him, you were one inch away, but he said the rules claim yo…
Warhammer 40k Event: This is ItIt looks like this is our Warhammer 40k event, Ultramarines vs Word Bearers in celebration of Dan Abnett's novel release, Know No Fear. Not quite what I was expecting, but still nice to see something for 40k...... The event is set for February 18th. It's starting to feel like our hobby (40k) is bei…

Paying the Crowe TaxThis last weekend I was able to play several games with Castellan Crowe in a row. Of course it was a tournament, but I finally started feeling comfortable with fielding him, not to mention..... started liking him and how he plays on the tabletop. First off, he is considered to be the Crowe tax, bec…
Necron Battleforce and LotR February ReleasesWith all the disappointment of LOTR releases this month, yesterdays mornings rumors were forgotten, but apparently accurate.

GW Response to Platoon DeploymentsFor many this debate has been a mind-numbing one. Is a chimera part of the unit it is bought for? Do chimeras deploy with the platoon during limited deployment missions like Dawn of War? We all know they act as separate units for pretty much everything, just like any other dedicated transport. So t…
February/ March Rumors: 40k Event and ReleasesMany people are waiting on pins and needles for a February release. Is one going to happen? This rumor sounds rather logical, so check it out. …

Grey Knights: My Tournament ListThis is the list I fielded over the weekend, during the 2500pts tournament down at Knightfall games. Normally I do not like to post the current list that I am fielding. This list is different, simply because I do not care for it. It was the Mordrak and ghost knights that I felt would not hold their…
Presence of Faeit: Tyranids + Necrons, 6th Edition Ruleset, FAQ's.This week has been very tiring. Between new FAQ's, coming up with a list for the tournament, and family commitments. I think most of all the tournament finally kicked me. Presence of Faeit is my weekly editorial. I generally report during the week what is going on, and today is my day to comment o…

Knightfall Games: Supporting Your Local ShopWe all know we should be supporting your local game stores, so it was time post up on the best store for warhammer 40k in the Portland area.

Presence of Faeit: 6th Edition Leaks, Tyranids and Necrons ReleasesWe have had an unusually high amount of rumors come out this week. Starting of course with a Tau rumor that went south. However a very detailed 6th edition leak shortly followed alongside rumors or Tyranids, Tau, and more. Also on the agenda which I have not really yet mentioned, is tournament pre…
Twilight Imperium: Review of Last Week's GameTwilight Imperium is a beyond fantastic board game, with all the depth, tactics, and strategy you could want. Even with all this said, there are some downsides, and the time to play it is not one of them. Last Saturday was game night at the house, and while I meant to take a picture of the game bo…
Lord Inquisitor the Movie, Recieves a GW ResponseThe fan based cgi movie project seems to have recieved a Games Workshop response, and a very positive one at that. Now that has me all excited, because this is an excellent project, and already from the looks of it, is going to be better than the Ultramarines movie we already endured. (now dont get…
A Fake Tau Pdf LeakAnother pdf hit the online community, and this time its a pretty obvious one for Tau. There are just tons of vehicles and even a stolen valkyrie with Tau weaponry on it.

Tyranids and Necron Waves Imminent for FebruaryAs if carrying on yesterday's post, we have more rumors that I have put together pointing towards what we will see in February and March of this year for Warhammer 40k.

6th Edition Pdf RumorsWell, a 6th edition pdf is now floating about is making all the news. I am not going to go into it all, simply because I don't find it interesting enough atm to read the whole thing and the chances of it being real are almost none. It is not hard to find and includes two files, the rulebook file an…
Pics of the Week: Natfka's 2011 FavoritesLast year there was one week to me that really set apart all the other Pics of the Week that I post up here on Faeit 212. It was the eruption of Puyehue-Cordon Caulle. I know it is not necessarily warhammer 40k material, but these pics are by far the best pics of the year in any category. They are…
Tau Recieve Another Rumor BatchThis mornings rumor set once again features Tau, with a very decent summary of what is expected. Some of this seems to correlate to what we already have heard, and some of it seems to push the envelope a little. It is getting closer and closer to a 40k release, so I am expecting rumor batches like …

Eldar Dark Reaper Options in Next CodexDark Reapers used to be a much more flexible unit back in 2nd edition, and this rumor pushes them in that direction with the addition of Eldar Missile Launchers. The rumor actually states that they will get these missiles instead of, but personally the rumor below is highly suspect because of its …

Tonight is Twilight Imperium, and it is the first night of this game that we will be using most of the optional rules for the game.…
Warhammer 40k: 25th Anniversary ModelIt is being said that Games Workshop is going to release a 25th anniversary model. What I wish, is that we had a picture of it, but then again the way things are now it would be quite the scandel to have that pic already. The speculation is in on just what the model could be. A large number of peo…
