News
- 25% off pre-order special for this week: Tau Firewarriors and Breachers, Shadow Force Solaq and Infiltration Cadre Burning Dawn! Very cool. Send those orders in to: Orders@FrontlineGaming.org or call: 1-888-781-5120
- The big news over the weekend is that the Tau Terrain sets sold out in 10 minutes and that retailers such as us, got 1 each to sell…lol. However, anyone that put money down on a kit can get a full refund form us or we can hold onto it to use towards purchasing the individual components when they are released. That should be in the very new future.
- LVO Update: We are going to implement a new judging tool: Snap Call, or Researched Call. Also, tickets continue to sell steadily, don’t wait to get yours! Also, we will not be here this coming Friday, October 23rd as we will be in Vegas getting some work done for the LVO.
- Dropfleet Commander released a second news letter about the game. It will kick off with a KickStarter soon, to hopefully raise the funds to launch the game with plastic kits to keep the price down.
- Hawk also put up new named commanders up for pre-order on their site! Cavebreaker, the Ferryman and Ramses.
- Mechanical Warhorse show off some additions to their pipe relay kits!
- Antenocities Workshop releases a new vehicle: the Hunchback.

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 rules floating around for Shadow Force Solaq sound pretty good.
- – Kauyon’s pictures show two formations: the awesome Shadowstrike Kill Team (2-4 Scouts + 1-5 Vanguards, you chose to fail or succeed reserve rolls for the Vanguards, they don’t scatter within 9″ of the scouts, they can charge the turn they DS) and Pinion Battle Demi-Company (like a demi company but with scouts that help reserves by accompanying other units to allow them to do a flank attack and can give ignore cover to an unit with 9″)
- One of our sources is telling us that Chaos is indeed getting rebooted for 40k after the Horus Heresy release, expected sometime in early 2016! BOOYAH!
- There are rumors of a Horus Heresy comic coming out soon, revolving around two chapters fighting around a Space Station. Cool!
- Tons of rumors floating out into the interwebs about the new Eldar Corsair list from IA11. WOW, some of this stuff looks pretty awesome.
- The Corsair Wraithknight is nutso! It has dual Hellstrom Warp Spider style weapons: Deathsround Cannons or it can take Inferno Lances or swap one of either for a Scattershield.
- Their Jetbikes are even crazier than normal Eldar Jetbikes, lol. Any model can take a Dark lance in addition to the usual Scatter Lasers, etc. and you can upgrade multiple models to characters and give them a variety of melee weapons available to both Eldar and Dark Eldar.
- FW to release the Raven Guard special unit, the Mor EDeytha in the near future. These are sniper style marines.
- Also, images floating around of a Garro release, which looks awesome.
- Big news from FW: a new Dreadnought Chassis! This is called the Leviathan Siege Dread and it looks bad ass and has really solid rules. This is what a Dreadnought should be!
- FW book 6 has been delayed a bit, expected to ship in February.
- Tau next week is said to be the new Crisis Suits, Commander, Data Cards, Drones and the Codex, baby!
- Rumors indicate the next AoS release will be Lizardmen!
- GW Stores to be open 7 days a week? Tough to do with a single man store.
Rant Session
- Good rules and ugly minis or ugly minis and good rules?
Tactics Corner
Rules Lawyer
- TedGrabow asks: is the new Tau Titan allowed in the ITC?
- No, it is not.
- P Folis asks: Cna a Dread in a Battle COmpany take a Lucious Pod as a free transport?
- No, only the transports listed can come for free.
- Coltinoa asks: Does the “Speed and Fury” special rule for Fire Hawks which makes Assault and Vanguard units scoring, also make those units ObSec?
- No, it was a rule from 6th ed.
- SFWF Warfare asks: If I stick a Rune Priest on a bike in a unit of Thunder Wolves, can that unit run?
- Yes, the Bike Turbo Boosts, instead. You just have to keep squad coherency.
