We do this with respecting the characters in every way we interpret them. Whispers from the Warp (News & Rumors): New Fat Mats Space: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/2014/11/06/f-a-t-mats-in-spaaaace/ Hi-Tech: http://www.frontlinegaming.org/2014/11/05/hmmm-what-could-this-be/ Vect coming to a White Dwarf near you? I've also been told DE will receive a LoW in the form of a new Vect/Dais with a WD rules release though the time frame is uncertain.. I've personally seen pics so i know for a fact the model has been produced. DE will be getting their LoW well before you see any of the hardcover dexes getting updated/reprinted... id wager they decide to release vect sometime soon after christmas. http://natfka.blogspot.com/2014/11/lord-of-war-asdrubael-vect-coming-after.html Shield of Baal: Coming! Shield of Baal is the first release for the campaign. There will be more. It comes in two hardback books and in a slipcase. book 1 comes with all the details on the invasion- background includes the invasion of the Cryptus System, called the shield worlds of Baal. the astra militarum, blood angels and even the sisters of battle are mentioned here. book 2 is rules including, Echoes of War scenarios (6), a cities of death expansion with 6 new missions, death from the skies rules for aerial combat. Forces of Leviathan: a new detachment for Tyranids with warlord traits, datasheets for new units, and new formations. http://natfka.blogspot.com/2014/11/shield-of-baal-leviathan-details.html NueroThrope http://imgur.com/a/fgaiE I have some more details for you on the Neurothrop. The Zoanthrope and Neurothrope have the same stat lines, and unit composition is 1. The unit may include up to 5 additional Zoanthropes, and if the unit is 3 or more, you can upgrade one model to a neurothrope. Both are psykers mastery level 2, with the obvious shadows of the warp, synapse, and come with the standard warp field 3++. In addition to warp blast, t\a brood with a neurothrope knows spirit leech. The leaks are out, but the primary difference for the models is a large horn above its head, and some spiked blades or horns coming off of a protruding spine that arcs above the back of its head. Cheating in 40K: the Feast of Blades Fiasco http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/618866.page Both the winner, and runner up, were caught cheating. The winner, Kenny Boucher, of Forge the Narrative, and Next Level Painting fame, was found to have been using dice with the 2s drilled out and painted to look like 5s. He plead ignorance, claiming to have purchased the dice as part of a “pound of dice” deal on EBay and/or Amazon. Apparently, the runner up was using an invalid list, with Red Scorpions Chief Librarian Sevrin Loth included as part of a White Scars Detachment. “Sevrin Loth is a HQ choice for a Codex: Space Marines army or a Space Marines Siege Assault Vanguard army with Chapter Tactics (Red Scorpions). A single Honour Guard squad may be included in an army that included Sevrin Loth - that unit does not count against the army’s HQ allowance.” - Games Workshop Statement on the Feast of Blades Facebook page: We have reached a resolution regarding the 40k Invitational- Please read below. We feel this is the absolute best solution for all involved. From Josh D: To anyone involved in the 2014 Feast of Blades Invitational, I have watched the backlash over the past 24 hours in regards to the Feast of Blades Invitational this year and feel that at this point I needed to step up and say a couple of things. I contacted the FoB staff in regards to what I was going to run for the invitational this year a couple of times to make sure that I was running my list the way they wanted. I know that 7th edition has created a situation where there is an exorbitant amount of information and sources out there to choose from when building a list and it can get confusing. When in the 6th round the head judge brought it to my attention that the list I was running was not a valid list as per their rules, I asked what they wanted me to do about it. I was told that I would need to modify my list to make it legal. I asked how they wanted me to modify my list that they would be comfortable with the changes and was told to remove enough from the list to add one troop choice to the list from the Red Scorpions chapter to make the Red Scorpions character I was using a legal allied detachment. So I made the appropriate changes to my list. I took a couple of minutes to ask the head judges whether they felt it would be better overall for the tournament if I stepped down and forfeited right then and was told that the changes that were made were done so I can play it out, and that I should play if I wanted to play. I am not going to lie when I say that I really wanted to play and so with their endorsement I played on. I came to this tournament with the intent to play a legal list and thought I was. Obviously there was a miscommunication somewhere before the tournament occurred as I thought I was doing so. It was never my intent to take advantage of the tournament or to "cheat" in any way. The fact that now the integrity of the Feast of Blades staff has been called into question along with myself, my team, and others has made if very clear to me that maintaining that integrity and the integrity of this community is far more important than a pretty trophy (and it is pretty) and a couple boxes of Eldar that I got as a prize. I feel that the only thing I can do to assist in trying to fix the issue that has arisen as a result of this past weekend is to step down as the winner of the Feast of Blades and give my prize support to Vince (I can't remember his last name) from El Paso, TX. He was running a beautiful Daemon list led by the Forgeworld Lord of Change (the 999 point one). If by chance anyone on any of these forums knows how to contact Vince and let him know to get in contact with me I would be more than happy to send him the trophy and prize support from the event. He fought well and played hard and is truly deserving of the prize. The only other thing I can do is offer my deepest apologies to any individuals that came to this event and felt they didn't get their fair shot. I sincerely do apologize to you for any wrong you feel victim of. I know it costs a lot to go to these events, I spent a hefty sum myself coming out to this one. And I know that feeling like you got cheated hurts and can even make some question whether it is worth making the trip again. I can only pray that what I am saying here will fall on open ears and hearts and you will know that these events are still worth going to and such a great time to have been able to experience. I have held to the motto for years in my life that "I don't judge people by the mistakes they make in life, but how they deal with those mistakes." I am hoping that I have dealt with this mistake as best I can. I hope to have a chance to come back next year and make a good showing for both my team and the Feast.
