Upcoming ITC Events

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 Tau rumors:
- It looks to indeed be essentially a reprint with some minor changes. Pros and cons to that.
- Their Decurion Style formation looks pretty solid.
- Units can share Marker Light benefits, and if 3 or more units shoot at the same target, they gain +1 BS! Nice.
- Hunter Cadre gains 12″ Supporting Fire, and units within 12″ of the commander can run or flat out and shoot.
- Destroyer missiles deliver the D!
- Tons of formations, some of which look quite good, particularly the Hammerhead Formation
- Raven Guard, you don’t suck anymore! The Talon Strike Force is legit.
- Their new formations and detachment is money: anything in reserves can come in on turn 1 on a 4+, reroll the die for deployment zones and first turn, and can always fail morale checks if you want to…wow!
- All kinds of reserves manipulation, movement and deployment trickery. Entire formations can skyleap off of the table!
- They have some great Warlord traits, such as adding or subtracting 1 to the end of game roll, which is huge.
- Pretty cool Relics, nothing too crazy, though. Very characterful.
- White Scars got even better…lol, because they needed it!
- Their Decurion style detachment isn’t going to win people over from a Battle Demi Company or Battle Company, but it has some cool benefits such as rerolling failed Initiative tests for Hit and Run and the ability to twin link vs. units on an objective or move after shooting. Very powerful, but better than ObSec and free vehicles?
- Excellent Warlord traits such as +1 Jink, +/-1 to reserves.
- And ridconulous Relics. My goodness, 12″ Fleet and Furious Charge banner, Master Crafted super glaive, a special bike and of course, the crzy Hunter’s Eye. Lol, this was so not needed, it gives the bearer and his unit Ignores Cover. Le sigh, GW.

Coteaz would go with centurions, captain goes with devestators, while the chaplain can ride with a squad of assault marines. Xenos Inquisitor goes with other devestators. 7 drop pods as that is what I have to play with, and 3 rhinos for the other squads to move up and give armour to devestators.
