Rant Session

Tactics Corner

• Orks vs. Knights
• Jake B from the Southern State of 40K Podcast asks, do you guys think it is worth giving up ob/sec on your troops to take the SW specific detachment for the CotW special rule?

Rules Lawyer

• ObSec is not a condition of being a troop, it is a condition of a detachment.
