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.
- Aspect Warriors sound pretty cool! Lots of buffs to them.
- Avatar rumored to be getting a big boost. +2 strength in melee, his 12″ fearless bubble also now grants rage and Furious Charge.
- All Exarchs are rumored to be 2 wounds.
- No craftworld specific rules.
- Only the D-Scythes rumored to be -1 on the D table, and are strength 4 for instant death.
- The rumored Assasinorum: Execustion Force sounds pretty neat. Rumors are that it is a board game where one player plays as the Assassins and the other is a Chaos Lord with his buddies. And, it means plastic Assassins! Cool.
- Rumors of Cult Mechanicus on the way, supposedly.

List Review
Should be self explanatory. Scout up 46 wounds worth of fearless dogs along with the Nurglelord for the first wave. With the removal of daemonic instability from Flesh Hounds in the new Daemonkin codex I can join any CSM IC to them. Yahoo!
Second wave is followed it up with Be’lakor, Maulers, Bikes, and HellBlades oh My!
+ HQ +
Be’lakor, The Dark Master
Chaos Lord [Bike, Blight grenades, Daemonheart, Lightning Claws, Mark of Nurgle, Power Fist, Sigil of corruption, Warlord]

Running the Gorepack is going to be exciting with so many fast threats. Between the Hellblades and the Biker Melta, I should be able to pop open transports for some really juicy turn 2 charges.
Someone mentioned it on a previous page but I thought I would say it again . Really grateful to you guys for taking the game a looking at it from an objective point of view. The changes you guys are making is what is going to keep the game playable and our community alive. I’m just glad someone had the time and initiative to get it done.
Even in the UK the ITC rules are pretty much becoming the standard, even if the tournaments are not part of the circuit, the restrictions and changes just make sense!
So kudos on all the great work so far and look forward to seeing what new changes come off the back of the New Craftworld Eldar codex.
(p.s, would there be some sort of legal restrictions to you guys sitting down and balancing/rewriting all of the codex? i would buy into that for sure!)
Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated! That is really cool to hear the ITC is picking up steam overseas, too!
We’ve been asked that before, but, it is actually easier to work with GW and to just change things as little as possible to try to keep balance.
OMFG!! Is there anything in this new elder dex that does not sound fricking stupid OP!!
Ironically, waveserpents.
Lol, true!
Julio is a monster of a player with his tac marine spam. I played him at LVO. He is a good guy,
Yeah, he’s a really good, dude, and I love his list.
Reece, whatever happened to talking about letting 6thed forgworld army lists in for the itc format.
We can’t, they reference old rules. I asked FW, they said that only IA 13 and 14 were written for 7th ed.
Ahh, I wanted to use d99. It seems od, it’s written just like the rest of the Ia book.
oh well.
What book is IA:14?
Siege of Vraks.
