Clan's Cynic

Skaven fluff article, mostly on their history until now.

Combat in 4.0 preview. It's a pretty long (for WarCom) article, so you should give it a looksie.

More Stormcast.

Rules preview for the new Darkoath. May be kind of redundant with 4.0 coming buuut...

More pre-orders for Bretonnia, Tomb Kings and Orcs&Goblins next week. Also a new (?) transfer sheet for Bretonnia.

And it's DARKOATH! As well as more Bretonnians, Tomb Kings and Orcs & Goblins. New transfer sheet for Bretonnia as well:

Auric Hearthguard have their Magmapikes, so a bigger version of that isn't a stretch in my opinion - even if it looked more 'primitive' than a fancy Kharadron steampunk or ye olde Dispossessed cannon. In the lore, Fyreslayers are said to be just as good at engineering as the other Duardin, they just go about it differently.

The core rules dropped on the first week of June, followed by the Indexes a week later, over the course of a week. If it's anything like 10th was, they'll probably release them in order of Core Rules -> Boxset units -> Stormcast -> Skaven -> Order -> Chaos -> Death or Destruction -> Death or Destruction.

I think it's more of a 40k thing, where some (but far from all) tournaments wouldn't allow you to say... run Iron Hands if your army was painted as Ultramarines,

Battle Traits and Formations rules preview for 4.0. Best Day Ever now seems to be Stormcast-exclusive, once again proving that Sigmar is a thief.

Sigmar Thursdays maybe?

Another 4.0 rules preview, this time covering Command Abilities and Reactions. There's a lot of pictures, so I won't post 'em all. As usual the article is worth a read.

About the 4chan """leak""", I remember watching the recent Metawatch for Underworlds and them saying that it's never been more popular. It could just be marketing talk coming out of their mouths, but it's not like GW say things like that overly often despite all their PR chatter. It's also not the wildest statement if they're going off model sales - we know that even if the game itself isn't being played, people generally love UW for paint projects. It would be a strange move to suddenly decide to take it out back if it's doing as well as claimed. Plus, it's already had an established 'rotation' for semi-old sculpts in a way that most other systems don't, which would be a point in it's favour already if GW's concerns are with trimming down the amount of models they produce and store in a warehouse. Finally it's 4chan slash /tg/ and how often are leaks from there ever actually reliable? 1/10 times, if that?

FAQ and Errata update.

Bretonnians or Sisters for this week's Rumour Engine? Terrain? A filthy heretic's base decoration?

Never know where a sneaky-stab might come from.

Somehow I only just noticed the pet rat the leader has on his arm. Different sizes, equally vicious. Edit: And another bunch! There's loads!

If people haven't already, I highly recommend watching Vince Venturella's videos on speedpainting and Skaven.. although given how much he loves Skaven, I'm fairly certain he'll have new ones coming for the new edition anyway.

Behold... RATS!

Just 40k for models I'm afraid, but the novels Dead Kingdom and Children of Teclis are dropping as well.
