Upcoming ITC Events

- Brawl in the Fall is the next ITC event coming up in the beginning of October. It is sold out, and will be a ton of fun.
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.
- Space Hulk coming out soon? We’ll see.
- Rumors that Dark Eldar are indeed on the way to us in the very near future!
- Iron Warriors coming out next with Perturabo, Siege Terminators, a special Rhino and Erasmus Golg.
- More awesome pics of crazy new FW Knights from the Euro Open day, too. Crusader Robots? Solar Auxilia? More AdMech?! WOW! You go, Forge World.
- We can expect more models of other factions aside of the Legions, such as Solar Auxilia, Dark Mechanicum, Traitor Imperial Army, Knights Errant and early Inquisition, Sisters of Silence and Custodes.
- Rumors about Fantasy and what the future holds. Supposedly the End Times story arc is going to radically change the story and setting of Fantasy. There was talk of dropping the line entirely, changing it to a skirmish style game with miniatures on round bases, etc. But, it seems that they are going to advance the story with a cataclysmic story, and many races are going to change, merge with others, etc. The end result is rumored to be a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting with a new look and feel.
- PP RUMORS
- Last week new released images from Privateer Press’s Summer Campaign showing the concept art for what appears to be a new Cygnar Jack and a New Cryx Jack. It was later confirmed in last weeks Privateer Press Prime (the companies official Podcast) that these were new Character Jacks and that the Cygnar jack was Nemo’s Character Jack called “Dynamo”

- 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 (which was released at GenCon) was spoiled via last seasons vault image)
- FLG Notes 2: Character Jacks can be used by anyone but when used by the caster they are assigned to they get an added bonus to their abilities.
- Eldar Supplement inbound for Ulthwe! This will supposedly be accompanied by a multi-part plastic Warlock kit.
- Dark Eldar next! We’ve heard that their book is indeed done. Exciting times ahead for the Dark Kin!
- Supposedly a new Space Hulk inbound?
- The new paints rumored are glazes, shades, pink base, green/metallic base, and some technical paints.

- Is a Wolf Lord on a Thunderwolf Strength 9 or 10?
List Review
Ryan L sends us the following list:
List Review
1750 Inquisition/Assassins
The number of units are limited due to the Inquisition FoC and aren’t very durable but put out a lot of offensive power!
Henchmen unit 1
[Warlord] Xenos Inquisitor – Rad, Psychotroke, Psyker (ML1), Force Sword, Power armour, Liber Heresius (hopefully Scouts the Redeemer with the unit, provides special grenades plus Divination or Telepathy)
Landraider Redeemer – Multimelta, Psyflame, Psybolt (two S7 AP3 Templates, S7 TL Assault Cannon and Multimelta will do work)
3 Acolytes – 3x Melta, 1x Meltabomb (cheap Melta to pop transports)
3 Crusaders (to soak some shooting on their 3++)
4 Deathcult assassins
1 Ministorum Priest – Eviscerator (for some AP2 since Crusaders/Assassins are limited to Power Swords, plus Zealot and rerolls to wound from Hymns)
Henchmen unit 2
Valkyrie – Las cannon, side sponsons (anti-air and drop the unit where they’re most needed)
5 Acolytes – 2x Stormbolter, 3x Melta, 1x Meltabomb
2 Jokaero (hopefully provide +12″ range and Rending!)
1 Psyker (10 points for some Divination)
Henchmen unit 3
Coteaz (babysits the Servitors and provides Divination)
Chimera – 2x Heavy Bolter, Stormbolter, Psybolt (providing mobile LoS blocking, S6 Heavy Bolters and mobility for the unit if needed)
2 Acolytes – 2x Plasma
2 Jokaero (again, hopefully provide +12″ range and Rending)
3 Servitors – 3x Multi-melta
Formation – Assassinorum Execution Force
The Assassins eliminate the biggest dangers to the henchmen, with the Culexus shutting down psykers obviously!
Vindicare
Callidus
Eversor
Culexus
