Games Workshop Appologizes for Leagues of Votann!?

Oh man, GW actually apologized for how strong League of Votann rules are written.

This is amazing. I can't understate how important this is to the community and the hobby.

Could this be a knee-jerk reaction? Sure. Is this the result of a few vocal Youtubers, bloggers, Redditors, and public whining? Absolutely.

I have no inside information, but I do consume Warhammer content like a Tyranid at a Sizzler, and it does appear to my eyes that there was a lot of negative feedback from community posters and some feedback from former (nay recently fired play testers) that has lead to this pre-release nerf.

It's not that big of a nerf, if I'm honest, and it keeps the LoV in line with armies with similar abilities. With the Nephilim changes in secondaries, it just goes to show how each army can be teetering, and a slight tweak can upset the balance of power in the game. Necrons went from zeros to heroes just by getting great secondary objectives without changing the army or points. The tiny LoV rules change was for the better and it makes me happy to see this implemented. *Grain of salt* I haven't played them, or against them yet.

Now if James will just fix Nephilim missions...

My favorite part of the video: "They haven't won a tournament in 30 years."

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

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.

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...
