Blog & Podcast Updates

So I have been out of the loop, sorry but I have been travelling. I am currently visiting family and attending a wedding and thus my absence. I'll be mostly taken up due to that for the next week so have no worries, I have not disappeared and I will still post when I get a chance. I have another history post in the works that I am trying to get out in a couple of days if time allows. So I just wanted to take this time to give an update on things, mainly the podcast.

What is Militarum Tempestus Going to Look Like?

So a lot has been leaked the last few days, looking like someone got a hold of the next white dwarf. It looks to pretty much have all the rules for the new storm troopers as well as Taurox. Now there may be more to see that has been yet to leak. It is time for a dose of reality though, just to make sure we are not getting too many hopes up, even though things are looking to be good so far. So I am going to cover my thoughts on what the Tempestus Militarum codex is going to be, note this is not the main IG book.

Knight Battle Report: Knight/Inq vs SM & Necrons 500pts

So here is game 2 & 3. I kept the same list, my brother brought two tac squads in drop pods with meltas, and a librarian with drop pod to get the two tacs in round one. We got the scouring for mission with dawn of war deployment. I got first turn. He failed to seize. I deployed in the corner, he had his libby in his behind some terrain.

Alright, so finally got a game in with the knight to test it out. We did 500pts just to check it out and see what the smallest army you could take this guy in. Both lists are legal. My brother was kind enough to be my punching bag, thanks for being a good sport and humoring me. Both our list are extreme, basically we are going to either win or lose totally. Played annihilation with standard deployment. The board was 4x4, at 500pts its hard to play on a large board.

Militarum Tempestus Rumors & Pics

Big rumors have broken for IG, more specifically on the Tempestus. The full line up of pics are here and here. I am really liking the new models more and more, they just look cool. I like that they are not just a redo of the old models either, they have nods to older models but they look different and are not a rehash of the old. The weapons look awesome and I am really excited to see the full stats on them, especially the hot shot volley gun. What also is cool is a laspistol chain blade!!!

Bulwark Against the Tide: A History of Armageddon

Continuing with my previous post on the History of Cadia, I'll be going into the history of Armageddon and its famous Steel Legion Imperial Guard regiments. I'm thinking this may become a full series of articles on the history of the famous Imperial Guard worlds and regiments, if you all enjoy these and want to see more of them. As a note these are meant to provide consolidated information on these worlds/regiments as well as a fun read. These are not meant to be taken too seriously either, think of them being written from the perspective of an Imperial historian, so naturally they will have some hyperbole that 40k propaganda is known for. Enjoy!
