Hello everyone !!!

Official preview of the Imperial Fists

For more than 10 millennia, the Imperial Fists have defended the Sol System and crushed the enemies of Mankind all across the galaxy from aboard their matchless star fortress, Phalanx.

Siege Masters

This ability is from the Space Marines Codex, but now with the Supplément you also gain :

Legacy Of Dorn

It's a good power but it's very restrictive: Devastator Doctrine, heavy weapon, targeting Vehicle. It allows IF to shred light vehicle with Sniper Bolter/Heavy bolter. Also your Heavy Bolter should be able to dmg heavier stuff with the help of some stratagems.

Warlord Trait

Surely my favourite one ^^ Also it's Lisander one ^^

Wrack and Ruin

18" is good range for an average of 3 Mortals wounds

The Eye of Hypnoth

Best used when stationed near your Repulsor Exec so you can reroll that pesky one ^^

Praetorian's Wrath Stratagem

Yea meh :/

Tor Garadon

Classic captain but: Signum is awesome and his power Fist is scary ^^

Crimson Fists

Fist of Vengeance

Better than Kantor (The Frigging Chapter Master) Power fist (i have no idea why ^^)

That's it for the preview!

I'll do a Review this weekend (even if there not much left in the codex ^^)

/Cheers.

Hello everyone !!!

Warhammer Rumour of the week.
No idea on this one but maybe the flavour text will help :

"If you could see this full picture you’d go into a shock-induced coma. That’s why we’ve very considerately decided to show it to you in very small doses, to allow you to build up an immunity to all of the awesome. You should probably still take a seat when you look at this snippet"

Ring any bell ?

/Cheers.

Hello everyone !!!

Maybe you know already, but if you look at the Blood Bowl Head Coach's Rules & Accessories Pack on the games workshop website, you'll notice there are 6 Bonehead counters!

That probably means that the Ogres are next, or at least close enough from release to be included on the Tokens Sheet!

On the other hand there are no Hypnotized counters so I guess Vampires Teams are not planned :/

/Cheers.
Bob.

Hello everyone !!

This month White Dwarf contains Syll’Esske Mini Battletome for Age Of Sigmar !!

Syll’Esske is unusual among the daemonic hosts of the Dark Gods, in that they are in fact a symbiosis of two separate entities. Syll Lewdtongue is a Herald of Slaanesh, while the towering form of Esske the Scarred is that of a mortal who was raised to the rank of Daemon Prince by the grace of their dark master. The irony is that, though circumstances conspired for the daemon and once-mortal warrior to fight each other to the death on a bloody arena floor, those same events would see their fates become entwined forevermore in a relationship born of unparalleled devotion.

Really good to see these Warscrolls Battalions focusing on the Mortals side of Chaos !!!

Big thanks to A Boyko; the unkindest cut of all !!

/Cheers.
Bob.

Hello everyone !!!

We are getting closer to the release of Ossiarch Bonereapers for Age of Sigmar and GW is gracing us with new reveal today ^^

Ossiarch Bonereapers Mortisan Soulmason

Yea the model is kind of weird but I like it ! Also the fluff is really nice :

one of the strange and sinister heroes who command the Ossiarch Bonereapers in battle. Like Stormcast Eternals, Ossiarch warriors are formed from the souls of the fallen in the Mortal Realms – but where any given Stormcast warrior is made from a single soul, each Ossiarch is formed from a rich blend of harvested soul-stuff, combined from dozens or even hundreds of different sources to make the perfect warrior.

It’s the Mortisan Soulmasons who are responsible for overseeing this process, working with a butcher’s precision and ruthlessness to find the very best spirits for their dark work.

Size Comparison

Also Arkhan have the same Hat !

Hinted : Soulmason buff the Mortek Crawlers (bones catapult).

/Cheers.
Bob.

Hello everyone !!!

I know the rules are in french so here a small translation :

This unit can't be targeted or affected by psychic power. Also Psychic Test or Deny the Witch test suffer -1 for each units from your army with this power within 18" (max -4)

Dame du Néant :
If your warlord have Imperium keywords (unless fallen) you can include this unit in a vanguard detachment with QG restriction changed to 0-2 and bonus : None.

protocoles D'accusation :

Rest of rules are standard stuff

/Cheers.

Also coming with their codex the upgrade sprues

Primaris Upgrade sets

Thunder Hammer unlocked ! ;)

Adrax Agatone

Tor Garadon

Both new Primaris Captain are awesome and their rules are very good so perfect !

Impulsor

Impulsor is very good and allows a lot of neat tricks but....Still not a %£µ%µ£% RHINO !

Infiltrators and Incursors

Both are Tech picks and could solve Meta issues and they count as troop so very good again. Even if honestly they are not very inspiring.
These models are a lot more SF than usual and even remind me of INFINITY.

/Cheers.

Hello everyone !!!

Today goes on pre-order Phoenix rising the first chapter of Psychic Awakening.
Psychic Awakening is the Warhammer 40000 campaign dealing with the aftermath of the Great Rift cutting the galaxy in two. This review will first look at the fluff and then the rules added to the differents Eldar Factions.

Introduction

Phoenix rising book is 80 pages long with hardcover. The quality is normal GW so nothing bad to say. There is a lot of illustration in it (old and new) making it a very good looking object! The rule section cover both Eldars and Dark Eldars only Harlequins are left out.

Fluff

To me, the fluff is the most interesting part of the book and Games Workshop hyped it quite a lot. I don't want to copy all the story in the book but here are the juicy info, skim down if you don't want to be spoiled

• Book confirm that you need the 5 Crones sword from morai heg or kill all Eldars to revive Ynnead


• Last (5th) Crone sword has been stolen by Slaanesh and stocked in his palace


• Yvraine admit the mass suicide is now the only way (i am not sure yet)


• 5 or 6 pages of details on what are doing famous Craftworlds


• Shalaxi Helbane and Syll lead a Slaanesh Hunter party to kill Yvraine and the Avatar


• Dark Eldar are close to civil war as a lot of them join Yvraine


• Vect sent Drahzar to kill Yvraine and was very very close to succeeding but Jain Zar saved her


• 1 harlequin exiled from Cegorath join the band, accompagnied by a Human Female Psyker in Black power armour (and white hairs). The human has super strong psychic power, they also warn Yvraine of a new foe



• Yvraine group is now 5 Champions: Jain zar, Visarch, mysterious exiled solitaire, Lelith Hesperax


• Multiple fights happen on Exodite Worlds to save them from chaos (3 Phoenix Lord fight together there)


• Lots of Eldars are gaining more psychic power since the big rift


• Dino riders are mentioned multiple time


• Exodite ride to wars with the Eldars now



• the Last Stand happen on Iathglas a Hexodite world with a lot of spiritual power


• Big fight Dnd fight happen, the 5 champions vs Hellbane, while a bunch of other Eldars sacrifice themself to hold the Slaanesh horde


• Jain Zar start using the power of the dead to buff her now


• , In the end, Shalaxi Helbane is banished but it was only a shard of his power and he was only having fun.
  Wtf? he was super close to winning vs Jain zar, Vizarch, avatar, Lilith, solitaire (KIA) and Yvraine and it was only a "glamour of his real self". Yea sure, why not just coming for real and delete reality


• Story close on Eldars factions blaming each other

Fluff Conclusion
The story was nice even if the ending was a bit of a letdown, still not sure about the Title "Phoenix Rising". Still It gives a good idea of what Eldars have to do now. Also, I am pretty sure that the mission "Save the last Crone Sword from the Slaanesh Palace is happening onde day"

Rules

3 parts here, Craftworlds, Dark Eldars and Ynnari

Craftworlds rules

• Updated Datasheet for Jain zar and the Banshee

Banshee are 13 points , jain is 115
• Each sort of Aspect Warrior Exarchs get to choose new powers. You can exchange the standard power against a different one from a list of 6. All temple also have stratagem to stack 2 Exarch power .
• Rune of Power: New Psychic Discipline representing Eldars getting new minor powers that are easier to manifest
• Create your own Craftworld with these new attributes. Choose 2 from a list of 22 and build the one you like the most



• Runes of Fortune

Instead of Smite, you can choose one from the table below :
-Reroll one roll
-add 2 Dmg to one psyker weapon (oO)
- Bonus + 2 charge rolls (hello Banshee !)
-Roll 3 dices on a 5+ deal one mortal wound (characters only)
-Bonus 2 for unbind spell
-Force one enemy unit to shoot at closest target unless the target is within 18" (trash^^)

Drukhari rules

Dark Eldars get updated Datasheet for Drahzar and Incubi. Like the Craftworlds cousins, they get traits to customise their: Kabals, Cults, Covens.

• Drazhar and Incubi

They are now at 16pts and 120pts. Drazhar was already spoiled and he's a beast in melee if he can connect.

The master of Blade power is super strong allowing Incubi (and Drazhar as well) to wounds more reliably

• Obsessions

There are 3 lists of 8 Obsessions to choose from and you select 2. One list for Kabals, one for Covens and one for Cults.

A bit of everything in these lists, still i think you'll be able to customize your force to your liking.

Ynnari rules

Children of Ynnead allow you to field a mixed force of Eldar under the banner of the God of Death! Or mix the Trio into a Craftworlds, Harlequins, Drukhari army!
The rule is so complex that I prefer to post a full image of it (have fun ^^)

Good luck with that one ^^

Also you gain :

• Objective Secured for troops


• Strength from the death : +1 to hit and fight first in a turn you lost an unit.


• 6 Ynnari Warlords traits

*Fnp5+ and heal 1 each turn
*+1A & +1S while Strenght from death is active (yvraine)
*5+ cashback on CP spent and 1 rr per turn
*-1 or -2 to LD within 6" (Ycarne)
*pile in 6"
*6 to hit score 2 hits (visarch)

Decent list, Fnp5+ is interesting or maybe warden of soul to 1 A and 1 S on your general (Solitaire ?)

• Revenant Discipline, all psyker in this army must select from this list

Gaze of Ynead : 1 , 1D3 or 1D6 mortal wounds
Storm : 3d6 per enemy psyker around on a 6+ 1mw
Word or the Phoenix: Heal D3 or revive one model on a 4+
Unbind Souls : Debuff one target unit, reroll wounds against it for friendly Ynnari
Shield of Ynnead 5++ for units within 6" (ho yea!)
Grace : Buff, target friendly unit reroll 1 to hit.

Gaze, Shield and Unbind souls are very strong and will help a lot.

• 2 pages of stratagems

The Ynnari army looks interesting but to be honest, my Eldar List Building is quite weak. I have no idea on how to build an Eldar army (except Flyers spam of course ^^)

That's all for the review of this small campaign book. It is a must-buy if you play Eldar and still quite a good read if you are interested in the fluff.

ps: There is very little fluff in this book about Drazhar and Jain Fight. So I don't know if she was raised from dead by Yvraine if she won or if the fight was interrupted and the fluff didn't progress (like usual ^^)

ps2 : I'll complete the review tonight with more infos, (running late right now)

/Cheers.
Bob.
