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.
- Looks like the Nids rumors are just super confused, who knows when we’ll get them but as always, as soon as you see them (or anything) on GW’s website, that is when you can order or pre-order it with us!
- Supposedly IG are after Nids, whenever that may be, and special mention is made of Mordians and Steel Legion?! Again, who knows what that means but Steel Legion will sell like hot cakes we think. Such cool models! Reecius buddy Joel has a Steel Legion army and it is awesome.
- Rumors indicating no more Battleforces or Battalions.
- Limited pre-orders for Imperial Armour 2: Space Marines and Forces of the Inquisition book rumored to be coming up.
Rant Session
Tactics Corner
Rules Lawyer
- This comes to us via Casey K.
- Greetings Frontline Crew!I was playing in a 2v2 match up yesterday and we had a rules dispute
come up and wanted to get your opinion/interpretation of how it should
be run. Without any further ado here is the question:A Drop Pod filled with Space Marines wants to drop in as close as
possible to a squad of Eldar Guardians that are behind an Aegis
Defense line and protecting an objective. There is no room behind the
Eldar Guardians to fit the Drop Pod so it must land in front of the
Eldar squad. Can the initial placement, or even the final placement of
the Drop Pod be on the Aegis Defense line itself?We know the rules state that Drop Pods/any Deep Striking
units/vehicles can’t be placed on ‘impassible terrain’. We also know
that technically fortifications are not impassible terrain, but it
just seems wrong that drop drop pods or anything else can drop on top
of fortifications regardless if they are yours or not, excluding the
Sky Shield Landing Pad, but that has specific rules for landing on it.We were just curious as to how you guys play it and how you would rule
it in a Tourny setting?Thanks for your time,
Casey
List Review
necrons/ white scar allies
HQ:
Destroyer lord – 2+ mss
Troops:
3x 5 warriors/ nightscythe
Fast Attack:
6 wraiths
Heavy Support:
3x annihilation barge
allies
HQ:
chapter master- bike, shield eternal, relic blade, 2+
Troops:
2x 4bikes 1 attack bike(multi melta)- 2grav gun 1 vet Sargent combi grav reg Sargent combi grav
Total
The destroyer lord goes with the wraiths. Chapter master goes with the sqaud that doesn’t have the vet Sargent. My goal is to give the wraiths and Dlord a distraction with the bikes and have the bikes drop the big creatures on turn 1 then bring in the night scythes to help clear all the troops.
Looking forward to seeing what you have to say about this list
Thanks

Shut up and take my money! Where’s the link to your kickstarter! Give us a link!!!!!
It goes live tonight, sir!
okay those mats look AWESOME guys. I for one will be wanting several 😀
Nice!
I seem to remember a certain someone poo poo-ing Kickstarter.
I have one question. Does your kickstarter have a confusing video containing overly dramatic music with which other podcasts can watch and say “Well I have no idea what the rules are for Mega mats but the models….errr Mats look Awesome.”
Also, Take my freaking money. I need the blast zone and everyone else needs to pony up so I can get the alpine as well.
Haha our video is legendary and filmed with real life actors! And I hope the alpine get unlocked as well
Super awesome. What are you guys going to be pricing these at?
They will be $95 with shipping included for the first, $90 thereafter for additional mats.
What’s the Price If I want to come down and beat Frankie and take my mat from his weeping defeated hands?
Is this a stretch goal too?
It is now!
Haha, I had the same idea for giant mouse-pads about a year ago but gave up finding someone to make them at a reasonable cost. Good luck, I’ll probably be ordering half a dozen, haha.
Haha yeah I am going to sell millions to UPS to increase the productivity of our computer techs.
We had to go all the way to China to find a good price! haha
oh hey, is your black friday sale going to include painting commissions or just models?
Just models.
The sale is just on product!
Please make one of the stretch goals a sweet chaos daemon world or close enough with out gw legal firing missiles lol
Or one with a river/lake so i can use te rules for water features 🙂
Good idea!
We have talked about designs like that!
I was soooo wrong… I thought you guys were going to be mass producing LOS blocking terrain, akin to the building that’s been present in a lot of the recent battle reports!
That may or may not be something in the works!
btw I might of missed it, but if I fund the kickstarter, can I pick what type of mat I want if It makes its funding levels? IE. if I want the urban terrain 1, can I pick that once you guys have enough funding?
Yes you can pick which one you want!
10% funded on day one! you guys must be internet famous or something!
Holy crap, I guess! Barely 2 hours in and already 14% funded! wowzers!
