- RUMORS
- Last week a had new released images from Privateer Press’s Summer Campaign showing the concept art for what appears to be a new Cygnar Jack. It appears to be on the Stormclad Chassie with a spear and some sort of electric cannon. To which if it is on the Stormclad chassie it will round out the three models to make a Stormclad Cassie plastic kit (Stormclad, Reliant, this jack)

- Also unlocked was a new Cryx jack heavy that also appears to be the third jack in the new up and coming plastic Seether chassie.

- FLG Notes: So Privateer Press does annual summer campaigns where players can play games and report them on a website. (Similar to Eye of Terror summer campaign from back in the day). How it differs is the two factions (Purist vs. Opportunist) going against each other are racing to unlock thier vault images which are always a new upcoming model. (As an example the new Circle Caster Bradigus was spoiled via last seasons vault image)
- Painted TGITG model, looking cool!
- Heavy Gear shows off the new northern stinger missile truck.
- F.A.T. Mats will be in the UK very soon! The boat hits the port on the 16th, and we should be ready to ship by the end of September. Stay tuned for pre-orders!
- The outrider program is still in effect!
- LVO hotel room block is already nearly 60% full, we are running out of space on that bad boy and it looks like it will be sold out by the end of September. We got a crazy good rate on the rooms, too.
- Warzone demos on Wednesday nights at FLG! Be sure to come by and check it out! You can also pick up the minis in the webcart.
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.
- Rumors about plastic DE characters coming, Urien and an Archon, along with a price reduction, which would be cool. Rumors of the Void Raven Bomber weighing in at $81.
- A new unit rumored for the DE called an Artax or Artifex that costs as much as a 7th ed codex. Rumors of this also for Space Wolves and Tyranids. Not sure what it is yet, but sounds like maybe a book?
- Rumors about Necrons and Blood Angels getting new books coming in the near future.
- Rumors of Fantasy 9th ed this month? Wow, if so, things are moving at break-neck pace. We will have to wait and see.
Rant Session
Tactics Corner
Rules Lawyer
- Ryan L asks:
- The Inquisition Relic Liber Heresius can grant an Inquisitor and their unit Scout (amongst other special rules). Does this extend to a unit’s Dedicated Transport?
- Similarly, do the Jokaero’s Inconceivable Customisation bonuses apply to Independant Characters and/or Dedicated Transports with the unit?
- John P. asks:
- So I’m bringing my grey knights/space wolves army to the Everett ITC event and using the new nemesis strike force with space wolve allies… My question is about “rights of teleportation.”1: if I have a squad if grey knight terminator squad held in deep strike reserve they are allowed to roll first turn. What if I add a space wolf Prost in terminator armor to the squad!? Can they still roll first turn because of the grey knight terminators??
2: squad of space wolf terminators with a Grey Knight librarian, same question …
List Review
Thought id get your opinion on a list I just modified for my csm army that I usually run: crimson slaughter with csm allies:
Hq
belakor
sorcerer: lvl3, bike, aura of dark glory, melta bombs, force axe
Troops:
Csm: 5man, melta/combi melt, rhino
Csm: 5man, melta/combi melt, rhino
Fast:
Csm bikes:8man, MoK, banner of wrath, 2xmelt/combi melt, powerfist
Spawn: 5man, MoN
Heldrake
heavy:
Maulerfiend: standard
maulerfiend: standard
Allies
juggerlord: AoBF, MoK, meltabombs, juggernaught, sigil
Troop
11man cultist.
Total:1850
What I normally do is run my juggerlord with the khorne bikes who grant him furious charge thanks to the banner. and put invisibility on them, I then roll for Invisibility with the sorcerer and put him in the nurgle spawn pack. I rush everyone forward and if needed put inviso on one or two of the maulerfiends. It worked well against knights last tourney and eldar (dawn of war helped a lot) but I feel I needed faster obj secure units. So the rhinos are hopefully able to move midfield to claim obj as needed and the marines provide a threat to any knight player(tons in the houston meta) that wants to push forward into my deployment. Let me know what you guys think and as always I appreciate all the feedback.
Thank you,
Ryan
Thanks for reviewing my list guys, i appreciate it. Unfortunately the Juggerlord is not Eternal Warrior unless you upgrade him with the wargear from black legion supplement, but then we can’t take the Axe of Blind Fury(unless we can and i just don’t know about it). Although, putting him in the biker khorne squad gives him Furious Charge and re roll charge distsance (Since fleet doesn’t confer).
I would strongly consider going EW. It is so good for keeping him alive. Strength 10 attacks aren’t as prevalent as they were, but, you still don’t want him getting owned by the first Wraithknight that comes along.
This is true, i may have to do that. i love axe of blind fury but a powerfist/lightning claw combo with eternal warrior may be nice
Ok so two things. First off you put a picture of the Cerastus Knight Castigator under the Acheron. They are not the same thing. They have the same Bolter weapon however the Castigator has a power sword type sword whereas the Acheron has a double bladed Reaper Chainsaw.
Secondly the Questoris Knight is not a new type of frame. The GW plastic knight kits are also Questoris knights.
Ok I actually said something wrong based in old information. The Acheron has what looks like giant flamer.
Nicely done!
It was great to hear the big cat on your podcast. Hopefully it disn’t hit your download stats too badly ;P
Seriously though, great podcast!
Do you reckon the artifex is just a collected art book?
I think the ravenguard contemptor has an Australian Aboriginie pattern, rather than a maori pattern. Maori art is often made up of whorls, and aboriginal art of dots.
Thanks for the info on Scout/Infiltrate and Dedicated transports, that should combine for some pretty heavy early game pressure!
