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.

  • Sisters and Marines vs. Tzeentch Chaos for the summer campaign?
  • o   Plastic LoC, new Tzeentch unit, plasticm CSM Tzeentch unit. New 1K Sons?
    • Rules floating around for the Wrathmongers and Skullreapers
    • Harlie Psychic Powers are called Pantasmancy

    o   #1 Shadowseer Power is a Blessing, 18″ range that grants Shrouding and Stealth

    o   Harlie detachment has mandatory 3 troops, 2 Fatst, 1 Heavy and an optional 7 Elites. Apparently no HQ, which seems weird.

  • A Harlequin army provides 4 choices for Warlord; Shadowseer, Death Jester, Solitaire, and Troupe Master.
    Solitaires get no warlord traits
    Death Jesters and Shadowseers get limited Warlord Traits
    Troupe Master can choose from 40k BRB, the rules or from the Light, Dark, and Twilight Trait tables.
  • More rumors of Sisters in plastic coming our way.
  • Rumors of Mark IX Marine armor that is more unique to protect GW’s IP and will change the way marines look.

    1. RAW it Definitely does scatter – the Raider isn’t a part of the Archon’s unit. You wouldn’t argue that stealth/Shroud conferred to a transport carrying a unit with the rule and the wording is the same.

      It gets shady because the 1st half of the rule specifically calls out “a transport he is embarked upon” to gain DeepStrike, but when it talks about not scattering it only mentions him and his unit.

  1. The wwp is actually written different in two parts of the codex. One specifically says the vehicle does not scatter. The shadow field is also written differently in two sections of the book
