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.
- New Firewarriors are rumored to come with 10 to a box, a DS8 turret, 2 Drones, and the Strike Teams can have either pulse Rifle or Carbine and the Breachers have Pulse Blasters. And yeah, they look awesome.
- Campaign book rumored to be coming out for Tau, too!
- Tidewall Rampart is the awesome new Tau Terrain kit we’ve been seeing floating around the web. It comes with a twin-linked Rail Gun, 4 detachable Drones, and defensive lasers. They come as a terrain formation or can be used individually.
- The rumored new Burning Dawn Tau box set also comes with a new Ethereal and the Space Marine Shadowforce boxed set comes with a new Captain.
Rant Session
- Tau Supremecy suit: definitely not a Titan =P
Tactics Corner
Rules Lawyer
- C Gaillard asks: does my fortification benefit from the War Convocation “free stuff” rule?
- This one has been coming up a lot, will definitely need to address it in the FAQ. We’re going to have to go no on this one as otherwise it would benefit from other special rules too, such as getting scouts and other silly things.
- Thorn Walker asks: If I take a flyer in the Ravenwing Strike Force detachment, then must everything go into reserves and if so, do I automatically lose the game turn 1?
- Yes to both.
- Thorn Walker also asks: if I take a Land Raider dedicated transport for a Deathwing unit in the Deathwing Strike Force detachment, does this mean they must Deep Strike as well? If this is my only detachment, do I automatically lose the game on turn 1 as everything is in reserves? If I take Characters that are Deathwing that do not have Deep Strike, do they gain it in this detachment or can I not take them?
- Yes, yes and yes.
- Can the Blood Oathe Campaign formations be used in the ITC?
- Yes.
- B Berman says: I think you guys are wrong on how you read the mastery level and number of psychic powers you can cast issue, dependent does not mean equal to.
- Sure, dependent does not mean equal to, but in what other way do you define determined by? Any reasonable person will look at that and assume a 1 to 1 ratio. Dependent upon does not mean equal to but that is closer to the case than saying there is no relationship at all or infinite being the dependency.
- B Vaun asks: Does the Sanctuary Heirloom combined with the High King of the Exalted Court result in a 3++ Ion Shield and a 5++ on all other facings?
- Yes, and would combine with something like Forewarning as well, if available.
