Apocalypse Rules Leaking!
From FodaBett on the Apocalypse40K Forums .
A Rare Emperor resin and metal model leads my latest week of eBay auctions. There are 21 great Warhammer 40K items on eBay now and you can find them here .
Finished some great reading this week in the shape of my two latest purchases from the Black Libary Horus Heresy series and like the earlier novels in that series these were a great read.
More Eldar rules and notes. Something new that’s been overlooked in White Dwarf: The new Eldar transfer sheets have the rune for Craftworld Lugganath and Craftworld Lybraesil.
On the Saturday the Battle Brothers organisers run a painting competition for individual models with the full army competition on the Sunday. One of the things I’ve always liked about the doubles events is that armies have to be fully painted which makes for some great looking battles. This time the Legends competition had very few entries in all but the “Hero of Legend” category which I think is a shame since I’d seen plenty of suitable candidates as I wandered around. Here’s a selection from the cabinets. Beast of Legend This was the only category we entered using one of our dreadknights. The eventual winner was the minotaur chaos daemon thingy (I really ought to know the name). Monument of Legend There really wasn’t many entries in this category and the stand-out piece and eventual winner were these fantastic objective markers. Engine of Legend Again, very few entries but the winner was the mauler-fiend and deservedly so as the panels were stunningly painted.
Forge World will be releasing to new Realm of Battle Boards at the Forge World Open House tomorrow. The Crashed Thunderhawk board clocks in at 90GBP (about $ 135).

I’ll throw up battle reports on our progress at this weekend’s Battle Brothers event and the best painted stuff over the next few days. For now I just wanted to give me general thoughts about the event. The battle reports will have some proper pictures but for now I’m too lazy and tired to put them in! Tournament Format Battle Brothers is the new name for the GW run 40K doubles event at Warhammer World. The format has changed a little this year in that rather than 2x 750pt armies you instead share 1500pts however you see fit between you. You can either take a full FOC from one codex or else use allies. It’s a bit less restrictive than the old way but it does feel like it stops it being doubles. Still the joy of it is having 4 people around a table which makes for a much more enjoyable experience. Not being any sort of tactical genius means that when I play solo I tend to not put too much effort into winning. When I’ve got someone to bounce ideas off I tend to find we perform better together. In the past we've had some issues with the scoring system
So the fight for the Icarus Platform has ended and now it’s time to move the violence to the planet surface!
James Bell The Big Game III will be held on Saturday, March 16th and this year, the home site of The Big Game will be moving from the Los Angeles Games Workshop Battle Bunker to the Memphis TN GW Battle Bunker.
