Warhammer and Warhammer 40k InteruptionsWe have heard this through rumors before, but this time we have a copy paste section of a product brief sent to retail stores. It basically comes down to this, that Hobbit releases will not impact Warhammer or 40k releases, and will instead be on top of normal releases that are planned. …
Ork Model Wave in April and Tau in JuneWe have heard bits about an Ork wave coming next year, and while it may not be a codex, there does seem to be something on the horizon regarding orks.

Tau Battle Suit Tester CommentsYesterday on Faeit 212, we had posted up conflicting playtest rumors regarding a large battlesuit for Tau. Comments and thoughts on whether or not a people would rather have a Monstrous Creature or a Walker stepping into that role brought about a few playtester comments, or at least people claiming…
Dark Vengeance Chaplin to be Re-releasedThe Dark Angels side of the Dark Vengeance box was highlighted both the librarian and Interrogator Chaplin as the best models (in my opinion), and for the most part I think most people considered the Chaplin to be a starter set limited release only. This rumor bit, has Games Workshop re-releasing t…

Dark Angels Release: Asmodai, Namaan, and BelialI had not posted this earlier, simply because it was so similar to what we already had for a rumored release. However, I think its very valid to at least get post this up on what the rumored releases will be for Dark Angels coming January. …
Tau BattlesuitsRumors are fickle things, and often come from some vein of truth to them. Earlier we were discussing a walker (vehicle) for Tau. Here is the stats for what might possibly be the same unit, (although it could be a different one), since this one is a monstrous creature. …
Tau Walker RulesThere are rumors going on that a large new model coming out will be a Monstrous Creature similar to a Dreadknight. However, in today's rumor we have a an actual walker rumor. Are these two rumors talking about the same unit? Who knows, it is quite possible that both are being playtested. …
Pics of the Week: NightlordsThe Night Lords were one of my original armies from back in 3rd edition.

Pics of the Week happen every Tuesday where I share …
Quick Modeling Tricks: Converting Shredders to BlastersIntroducing Dez, and his first article for Faeit 212; I had a few minutes waiting for paint to dry, and I got a bit carried away.

Two New Flyers and Whirlwind UpdatesDark Angels will be a very interesting codex release regardless if you plan on going with Dark Angels or not. First off, they should be extremely popular just because of the starter sets, and second, it will be our first Space Marines codex in 6th edition. So it should give a lot of insight into th…
Faeit 212 BlogExchange: Blogs From Around the WorldTonight's Blogs from Around the World will not include all the new entries for the BlogExchange. I will do a part 2 later in the week, as there are just too many to get into one post without giving each its due attention. Part of this issue, was that I missed last week's, since I was in the hospita…

However, a few astute gamers and online wizards have discovered that there may indeed be a secret Hobbit release beyond what we already know is coming out. …
Tau Dreadknight RumorsFirst off, the image above is a conversion. None of the rumors below are discussing a Tau Titan, but instead a Dreadknight sized suit that has the aesthetics of the image above. That being said, a large Dreadknight suit sounds rather fun for Tau. You should heavily expect more and more people movin…
New Land Speeder TypeHere is a tiny rumor bit hinting at a new land speeder type that will make the new Dark Angels codex. I dont know if it is the same as the new flyer we are supposed to see, or something completely new. …
Presence of Faeit: Dark Angels, Chaos DaemonsThis week was a hard one, and I felt like I fell so far behind on what was going on in the world of our Hobby that it was going to be impossible to get caught up. There was a lot of rumors going on and even though the month of November looks rather weak in terms of releases, there is a lot going on…
Deathwing and Ravenwing Box OptionsYesterday we had some rumors that required quite a bit of salt and included plasma rounds for Assault Cannons and some other things. This morning we are stepping back a little bit, with some rumors that sound much more logical and very doable. Lets take a look. …
Dark Angels with "Plasma Rounds"By far the best part about this rumor set is the "plasma ammo" for Assault Cannons. However, just to be clear, is that this is one of those rumors that should be taken with a near lethal amount of salt. …
The Hobbit Strategy Battle GameThe Hobbit Strategy Battle Game is now up for Advanced Order along with all its models.

Thanksgiving with a BlunderbussBy far my favorite Thanksgiving picture. Marilyn Monroe with a Blunderbuss, and a turkey looking down its barrel. A classic.

January White Dwarf Will Feature Dark AngelsHere is a little snippet sent in to me which gives us a timeline for an exciting end the year, first of 2013 codex release for 40k. Accordingly Dark Angels will probably be released for pre-order before December is done, and up hitting the shelves January 5th. That would be a great way to start off…

What is Natfka is Reading: Are You That Guy?I do a lot of reading online and between all the various sites, there is just too much to get to everything I would like to.

The search engine beneath t…
Games Workshop's Customer ServiceWhen it comes to customer service from Games Workshop, I have always received second to none great service. It just happens that a Warpsmith (chaos space marine) a good friend of mine received, had some issues, primarily with the power axe the model comes with. The model itself was fine and usable,…
Surprise: Wall of Martyrs Fortification and More Dark Angel RumorsIt looks like the Wall of Martyrs will indeed get at least part of its terrain with rules, or perhaps they will also sell the bunker part separately. This rumor set includes a "Battle Bunker" as a fortification listing. Of course this is still a rumor. Dark Angels heavy support is listed here as we…
Presence of Faeit: Buried With No EscapeThis week has been a rough on my end, but loaded with lots of rumors regarding everything from Dark Angels to Orks.

More Eldar in the NewsThis time around though its from the Black Library and Gav Thorpe. I have been keeping up on Gav Thorpe's series of books about eldar and their background, which I think is the strongest part of his books so far, and I expect this one to be no different. The exciting part of this is its about Howli…
