Upcoming ITC Events
ITC Quarterly Update poll inbound! Get ready to cast your votes, everyone. And, be sure to submit any rules questions or comments you may have, here.
Sample questions:
- Do non Codex: Space Marine chapters have “Chapter Tactics” for the purposes of losing the benefits of Mixing Chapter tactics? Ie. Space Wolves, Blood Angels, and Dark Angels.
- Forge World has stated that they no longer intend for Experimental Rules to be unofficial. Should we allow them into the ITC? This would include several Tau suits, the Deredeo Dreadnought, Chaos Knights, among several other units.
- Allow the Stormsurge to be taken in units?
- Redstone Rumble, Huntsville, AL, October 2-4, 2015
- Linebreakers’ Not for the Frightful ITC Event, Victorville, CA, October 3rd, 2015

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 of new Tau terrain on the horizon? That would be very cool if true.
- Rumors floating around of a new Syanpse rule for Tyranids that supposedly grants a 6+ FnP and Fearless to units in range, and 5+ FnP and Eternal Warrior to the SYnapse Creatures, themselves. This would be awesome if true. Some rumors indicate this is coming from the new Genecult mini-dex we’ve been hearing about since the beginning of 6th ed.
- Rumored Tau Ghostkeel rules:
- Jet Pack MC, units of 1-3
- BS 3
- 4 Wounds
- T5
- 3+
- +2 Cover save to attacks outside of 12″
- Comes with 2 Stealth Drones which apparently gran the model itself shrouded.
- Fusion gun: 18″ small blast melta or Ion weapons, S7Ap4 6 shots which can overcharge for a +1 strength large blast.
- Twin flamer can be swapped for twin burst cannon or fusion.
- Rumored to be a very low price point, just over 125pts?
Rant Session
Tactics Corner
Rules Lawyer
- Trow asks: Does a Vortex suffer from the Ranged D nerf? Or is it still an unmodified D hit?
- Yes
- Lynzee asks: Do you measure vertical distance?
- Yes, with the modification of ruins and unit coherency.
- A number of questions about Tank Shocking, we will do a special video “How To” with this.
- Lots of Infiltration questions: You do everything for Infiltrators during the Infiltration phase of deployment. They must deploy during this phase.
- Blast Markers: Who is the “target of the attack?”
- KnukkaMagnum asks: Can the Culexus effect psykers in a transport?
- No, unless they target the Assassin in which case the power automatically fails.
- Zaro Asks: Do Iron Hands vehicles get IWND?
- Yes
- Brother Erekose asks: How to Super Heavies move through terrain?
- Roll 3d6, multiply the highest result by 2.
- Assault using normal rules.
For Fun:
Poison and ID on a 6 (regarding DE Lhamaean ‘Lethal Dose”) REALLY..wound on 6-up from 2+ and which means Lethal Dose ALSO- BUT CANNOT get D3 wounds..ONLY 1-Makes NO sense whatsoever given the special rule and the way poison acts in the game..So I basically have NO decent way to take out GC OR MC with my DE…. REALLY!? beginning to wonder which is worse-GW shenanigans or these ITC rules.. in messing my DE up CONSTANTLY….
makes no sense that i CAN wound somehow but lose every benefit… A reply and thoughts on this would be nice.. now my campaign is jacked,may as well forfeit against all GC/MC heavy armies if true…
