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.

YAY!!!! Guys, Sign me up for PHR. I love those guys.
Also, I think the art guy is actually a girl.
No, it is a guy, he used to work for an airline, IRRC.
Huh, on the Interview he mentioned a girl doing all the art for him.
Also, Those new commanders are special Characters. With special command vehicles.
Yeah, I saw that, and special rules, too.
Maybe it is a girl, I thought it was a guy? Huh, we will have to wait and see.
His name is Pierre iirc, a Frenchmen.
You thought it was a girl, because his name is Patrice. He’s french. They got a heap of other people to help with art too, but most of it is Patrice.

PHR are awesome, come by on a Thursday and get a game in!
I really like that infiltrate confers outflank if you put the unit in reserve so if you roll the warlord trait that gives you 4 units of infiltrate, well there you go. There’s your outflank.
Desperate for a gaming mat. Is the UK eta within the next few weeks? Or am I better off importing from you tomorrow?
