GW FAQs and Eratta on the Black Library site

Chaos Daemons and Dark Angels have a couple of things cleared up.

Tomorrow I'm playing in a 2,000 point 40k tournament with my White Scars. The tourney is the grand finale to our 12 week on league (or just a regular tournament if you haven't played in the league.)

Here's my list: mono White Scars

Captain - Bike, thunder hammer, storm shield, digital weapons, Strategic Warlord Trait
Command Squad: Bikes, 4 storm shields, 2 grav guns, 2 melta guns, apothecary

Librarian - Level 2 (taking telepathy.)

7 Bikes - 2 grav guns, melta bomb
7 Bikes - 2 grav guns, melta bomb
7 Bikes - 2 grav guns, melta bomb
10 Tactical Squad - plasma gun, lascannon, melta bomb

1 Dreadnought - Multi-melta, heavy flamer, Drop Pod

Land Speeder - Typhoon missile launcher, heavy bolter
Land Speeder - Typhoon missile launcher, heavy bolter

5 Devastator Squad - 4 missile launchers, 4 flack missiles
3 Devastator Centurions - Grav-cannons, Missile Launchers, Omniscope

This, or a variation of this list has served me very well during the regular league. Some might scoff at the dreadnought, but I find the disruption he adds to the list by starting in the backfield takes a lot of heat off the bikes and allows them to get into shooting range.

Also, I could split my force and get some of the same models by taking a second allied detachment, but the purist in me won't allow that kind of shenanigans. It could also be the pride of the White Scars.

I've had mixed success taking the Khan as my warlord. The scout move is nice, but it often backfires or is worthless when I play Necrons who teleport, or Orks and their damn trukks. A regular Captain with command squad or Chapter master, has worked much better for me and helps remind me that this is still a shooty army and not an assault army.

Space Marine Armorium Cherub

Out of all of the horrors in the Warhammer 40k universe, the cherubs creep me out the most... It's one of the most grimdark things in the universe. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #armoriumcherub #spacemarines #astartes #adeptusastartes #new40k

Warhammer 40k Primarch Rumors

There's are a couple of rumors floating around from Games Workshop about new Warhammer 40k rules and models releases; as well as major changes to the fluff. Rumor 1: All of the Primarchs will return, including the dead. Rumor 2: One of the traitor Primarchs will become a loyalist and one of the Imperial loyalists will become a traitor. I got into a discussion with some people on a thread on Spiky Bits' Facebook page about it and here are my theories. The Emperor will briefly return, only to be killed again. Once he finally dies, all of the pysker souls he's been consuming on the golden throne will coalesce and bring all of the dead primarchs back to life. The missing primarachs will rush back to Holy Terra like moths to a flame. Of course, this means both Horus and Sanguinius have returned as well. Horus will see the results of his actions and will repent his wicked ways, blame Ebrus/Logar and the Word Bearers for tricking him into corruption and turn to the sid

RTT Tournament results!

I played in a small RTT in Holton today and went 2-1, finishing 5th and beat one of the top players in our conference! (I sqeaked by with a 1-point victory...) I may have been able to beat my second opponent if had I made better selections for secondary objectives. In hindsight, I could have easily won but no matter how I plan for games on paper, there's no better teacher than experience. I'm tuning up my list for the Bugeater Grand Tournament next month in Omaha and I think I'm getting close to my final list. It's not anything really nasty, but it's just solid, durable units. I'm digging it.
