Space Marine Equivalency!

Space Marine Codex's have had their errata's updated!!! Black Templar and Dark Angels now have various changes bringing them more in line with their 5th edition counterparts.

Grey Knights Inbound

Grey Knights are coming out in April!!! I wonder if this means we will see the release of the Storm Raven?
From Games Workshop:

As the Emperor prepared for his final confrontation with the traitor Horus, he granted one final gift to Mankind, a safeguard and protection against the horrors of the Warp - the Grey Knights. A brotherhood of warriors as elite as they are secretive, the Grey Knights are a shining line of silvered steel that stands between humanity and the Daemons of Chaos.

Trained as the mightiest paragons of mental fortitude and martial discipline in the Imperium, the Grey Knights maintain a vigilant watch for daemonic incursion, responding wrathfully against the scions of the Dark Gods, and those who dally with them.

Clad in baroque Terminator armour and wielding powerful weapons such as storm bolters and Nemesis force weapons, the Grey Knights tear through the enemy, unleashing an onslaught of psychic powers and sorcery to sunder the foe.

The Grey Knights are an unstoppable force, the manifestation of the Emperor's will, valiant warriors who willingly sacrifice their own humanity so that Mankind itself can endure.

This April Games Workshop releases Codex: Grey Knights, alongside a comprehensive range of fantastically detailed Citadel miniatures. Although details are being kept firmly under wraps for now, you can expect an exciting selection of plastic kits to enable you to build your own Grey Knights army.

Over the coming weeks we'll be releasing more details both here on the Games Workshop website and also in the pages of White Dwarf - to ensure you're the first to get the news, make sure you subscribe to the Games Workshop newsletter and keep an eye on the What's New Today blog.

Black Library Podcast Interview

40K Radio interviewed Vincent Rospond which I believe is Black Library's North. American Sales Manager in the Dec 16 episode. Interesting stuff about the Horus Heresy and how it was planned as just six novels. Check it out.

Modular Baneblade

Foreword

Hi there, Z|insane giving you a How To make a Modular Baneblade! Now this isn't my model this is my thirteen year old brothers for Apocalypse Space Marine army, I play Tau so I will do my best to get the proper names on the parts if I get any wrong let me know I'll fix it. Also I used all 1/8" by 1/32" magnets but for the cannon I recommend something bigger. The magnet works but I would prefer something a bit more beefy personally. I am also using magnet to magnet contact on this as I like the feel better but you could use a strip of ferrous metal that the magnets can attach to.

400 Point Tau Combat Patrol

The Adepticon Rules:
Armies will consist of 400 points or less, and must conform to the following Force Organization restrictions:
⇒ 0-1 HQ
⇒ 1-3 Troops (you MUST bring at least one Troop choice)
⇒ 0-1 Elite
⇒ 0-1 Fast Attack
⇒ 0-1 Heavy Support
⇒ 0-1 ‘Swing Slot’ (this maybe be used to field one additional Troops, Elite, Fast Attack OR Heavy Support choice)
• Armies are not required to take mandatory unit choices. All other unit restrictions (i.e. 0-1) apply.
• You may spend remaining points on units from anywhere in the Codex.
• With the exception of Troops and models with the Swarm Universal Special Rule, No model can have more than 2 Wounds.
• Psykers may be used, but may NOT use any power requiring a psychic test.
• No model may have a 2+ or a 2+ invulnerable save.
• No monstrous creatures.
• No Special/Unique/Named Characters are allowed in the Warhammer 40K Combat Patrol event.
• Aside from Troops choices and dedicated Transports, only vehicles with a maximum of 11 in any armor facing may be taken. Dedicated transports and troops may have a maximum armor facing of 12. Vehicle Squadrons and Artillery units at permitted provided every unit within the unit individually would be permitted.

The List:
400 Pts - Tau Empire Roster

Troops: Kroot Carnivore Squad (100 pts)
10 Kroot Carnivore Squad
5 Kroot Hounds

Elite: Crisis Battlesuit (150 pts)
3 Crisis Battlesuits(Burst Cannon; Missile Pod; Multi-Tracker)

Elite: Crisis Battlesuit (150 pts)
3 Crisis Battlesuits(Burst Cannon; Missile Pod; Multi-Tracker)

Total Roster Cost: 400

Reasoning/Related Articles:
Taking Firestorms instead of Fireknives saves 36 points allowing me to get another suit in plus Kroot hounds, while really not affecting my the effectiveness of my army since there won't be any crazy terminators. See here for math.
