Rumors: The Rumor Section is gathered from the web and is not in any way information we receive from  any manufacturer nor is it necessarily accurate. This section of the podcast is intended for entertainment purposes only.

• Looks like the Nids rumors are just super confused, who knows when we’ll get them but as always, as soon as you see them (or anything) on GW’s website, that is when you can order or pre-order it with us!
• Supposedly IG are after Nids, whenever that may be, and special mention is made of Mordians and Steel Legion?! Again, who knows what that means but Steel Legion will sell like hot cakes we think. Such cool models! Reecius buddy Joel has a Steel Legion army and it is awesome.
• Rumors indicating no more Battleforces or Battalions.
• Limited pre-orders for Imperial Armour 2: Space Marines and Forces of the Inquisition book rumored to be coming up.

Rant Session

Tactics Corner

Rules Lawyer

•  This comes to us via Casey K.
• Greetings Frontline Crew!I was playing in a 2v2 match up yesterday and we had a rules dispute

  come up and wanted to get your opinion/interpretation of how it should

  be run. Without any further ado here is the question:A Drop Pod filled with Space Marines wants to drop in as close as

  possible to a squad of Eldar Guardians that are behind an Aegis

  Defense line and protecting an objective. There is no room behind the

  Eldar Guardians to fit the Drop Pod so it must land in front of the

  Eldar squad. Can the initial placement, or even the final placement of

  the Drop Pod be on the Aegis Defense line itself?We know the rules state that Drop Pods/any Deep Striking

  units/vehicles can’t be placed on ‘impassible terrain’. We also know

  that technically fortifications are not impassible terrain, but it

  just seems wrong that drop drop pods or anything else can drop on top

  of fortifications regardless if they are yours or not, excluding the

  Sky Shield Landing Pad, but that has specific rules for landing on it.We were just curious as to how you guys play it and how you would rule

  it in a Tourny setting?Thanks for your time,

  Casey

List Review

necrons/ white scar allies

HQ:

Destroyer lord – 2+ mss

Troops:

3x 5 warriors/ nightscythe

Fast Attack:

6 wraiths

Heavy Support:

3x annihilation barge

allies

HQ:

chapter master- bike, shield eternal, relic blade, 2+

Troops:

2x 4bikes 1 attack bike(multi melta)- 2grav gun 1 vet Sargent combi grav reg Sargent combi grav

Total

The destroyer lord goes with the wraiths. Chapter master goes with the sqaud that doesn’t have the vet Sargent.  My goal is to give the wraiths and Dlord a distraction with the bikes and have the bikes drop the big creatures on turn 1 then bring in the night scythes to help clear all the troops.

Looking forward to seeing what you have to say about this list

Thanks

Adam S.
