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.
- The big rumor currently, is that the new Eldar book is immanent. Rumor has it at Space Marine dex size, almost 200 pages! We’ve also seen the Eldar dex removed from the GW site, so this looks like a total reboot, not just a supplement. Also, looks like a new Farseer/Skyrunner kit and Jet Bikes/Shinning Spears on the way! Also, rumors of a plastic Autarch Clampack.
- Scatter Lasers no longer twin link, supposedly, but you can take them on Jet Bikes.
- Wraithknight to go to LoW, is now a Gargantuan Creature with strength D shooting and assault?
- New Psychic Powers
- All distortion weapons to go strength D?
- Composite detachment: 1-3 Guardian Type units, and a ton of other formations and such.
- Rumors that Space Marines will also get a full new codex this year, along with new Assault Marines (hopefully with better rules) and a new plastic Chaplain.
- Rumors of new brushes coming out from GW in the not so distant future.

List Review
Hi Guys
I was wondering if you could review this list for me. It’s a two detachment list, consisting of a battle forged space marine detachment and an adamantine lance formation.
Space Marine FOC
1850, and the space marines use the FW Raptors chapter tactics, so they get the bonus to stealth and also get rending when they fire their bolt guns.
Hq-Librarian with force sword 65 points
Troops-scout squad with flak missile launcher and camo cloaks x 2 180 points
Heavy Support-Stalker 75 points
Lord of War-Cerastus Knight Archeron
Adamantine Lance formation
Knight Errants x 2 one is warlord
Knight Paladin x 1
That plan is the Knights advance forward, whilst the space marines provide backfield support, and anti air cover. The librarian will also take telepathy and hopefully make one of the Knights invisible.
Let me know what you think
Kind regards
Nick

WD leaks for you including the layout of the composite detachment. Looking good…can spam WKs still
Yikes, some of the Eldar rumors sound a bit OTT a present. Lol, D weapons on Wraithguard? hahaha
enjoyable cast as always boys!~
Thanks!
Concerning “Maelstrom’s edge”
A squad based sci-fi tabletop wargame using alternating activation, custom force rules, and featuring a space anomaly called the maelstrom consuming endless worlds with survivors of said worlds struggling against eachother in the face of certain doom. Why does this sound familiar to me? …I think someone really liked VOR: The Maelstrom.
At least they were kind enough to change it from D10 to D6 /facepalm
Haha, well, yeah, that is pretty crazy, I hadn’t even thought about that.
Where’s the video?
Uploading it, working through some technical kinks on the videocast.
Looking forward to it!
Composite detachment is ok, but I prefer combi-detachment. It’s a more 40k style name and needs less explaining because everyone is familiar with combi-weapons.
Not a bad suggestion at all!
Thanks Reece!
as a black templar player a new dex can’t come soon enough. Also, technically a templar’s list could have multiple chapter masters aka marshals. Apples and cloned apples, but ya.
Marshals are Captains and the High Marshal is a Chapter Master
Iron hands have an entire council
They still have a chapter master, He’s named in the index Astartes article
castellans = captains, marshals = chapter masters, and the high marshal resides over them all. even says in the 4th ed book that the castellans lead the fighting companies while the marshals lead the crusades (which are essentially ad-hoc chapters).
Another big thing about the Wraith Knights change in status is poisen will only hurt it on 6s
Ouch. True.
Also they won’t be able to be punked out by a lucky force weapon or similar ID hit.
6mm Taco Bell is perfect for all my epic scale Demolition Man games!
Who do you think has the contract to supply the imperial gaurd with food rations lol
Lol!
