Mack makes his return to the airwaves! … as our guest!

In this episode, we take a drive down memory lane and then get into an army building plan followed by how to build a good display base. Then we talk about the coming Blood Angels codex and how deep striking Land Raiders are a bomb. And we close out the segment talking about the armies we’ll bring and what events we are taking part in over Adepticon weekend.

The second segment starts out with some Black Library books and then we announce a contest. Mack then takes us through his day at Fantasy Flight Games and some of the RPG games that are out now and what’s coming up.

We take a small Anus McFearsome break and then finish the show talking about the Combat Patrol ideas we came up with during the break.

Hello Guys and Dolls, its me again … Bestia, here with my weekily wrap of news and rumours. Rather then flapping my gum, let me get straight to it

Blood Angels Commander Dante

Commander Dante is to have a jump pack, a special pistol, with a 2+/4++ and a Death Mask (Alledegy gives an extra attack in assault for each enemy attack that targets him and misses, capped at 4), His super Axe that gives him a +1 to his strength and a special rule that affects reserves.

For More information, check out the rumours here, on Bell of Lost Souls.

Is it a Rhino, is a Valkerye ….

The cover of the upcoming Black Library novel “Hunt for Voldorius”

Over at WarSeer, there was a smart cookie who desided to give us a look at what he think the flying Landraider will look like. His name is Scryer in the Darkness, and I think he could be on the money.

See the orginal post from warseer here.

Mr GW makes a statement about his health

Black library published a statement from Dan Abbott about some health problems he had late last year. But the great news is that he is feeling better and talking about Prospero Burns , and how it has been pushed back to 2011. And a quote from Dan himself “ I’ll do everything I can to make sure that Prospero Burns is worth the wait.”

Astronomican goes bug crazy

So far this month the GW Astronomican has gone bug crazy. To date there is 13 articles with everything from how to paint the nids, through to putting them together, and tactics and how expantions such as COD and Planetstrike affect them. It is a great read, check it out here.

I’d Pork her

The Argentina’s Presenident Cristina Fernandez claims that pork is better then Viagra, after having a dirty weekend with her husband that included a bbq pork. She said she recently ate pork and “things went very well that weekend, so it could well be true.” Now that is more then I wanted to know about any politican. You can read the story here

Fairwell and Goodluck

I am sure I am not alone, when I say farewell and goodluck to Mack, after hearing that he has gotten his dream job with a game company. Mack, we will miss hearing you keep Ian in line, and would like to express my thanks for starting this great community and expanding it. When ya become a famous game designer, dont forget you can hook an Aussie up and send me free stuff

And that was something completely different … and I welcome my new overlord …

Good Morning/Evening Ladies, Gents and Gamers, it is I Bestia from the Forums once more bring you the weekily wrap up in the news of mostly 40k at the moment (I`ll expand out later on)

I am going to start with the biggest announcement of the week …

The Hobby Talk Network

DLT, IVC and the War Banner have all joined up at the Hobby Talk Network. Now what this means for the fans is more cross promotion, more infomation, and more opinions from a range of people from the Newbies to the Grissily old Vets (I`m looking at you TD) to the Lady Gamer. So after listening to this weeks DLT Episode, go over to IVC and the War Banner and give them a listen.  And maybe between the 3 of them, they could afford to fly an Australian who reports on 40k News to Adepticon

GW Changes Spacewolves FAQ ..

As of the 20th of Jan, GW removed the bonus of furious charge from Counter attack, bringing it into line with common sense.  Now it could be said that GW just bowed to pressure, but I like to think that who ever wrote that FAQ, was given a chaos Dreadnaught in a sock for his Mistake.

Blood Angel Rumors, They keep coming

Over at Bell of Lost Souls, two new batches of rumours have come out. One is just an army wide list, and another is about the Exalted Assault Squad. Now if these are true, I might have get to get me a space marine army …. Nar I would never sink that low ….  You can check out the rumors – Here for the Army Wide,  and Here for the Exalted Assault Squad

Sweaty Stack of Pancakes can kill

And not go to Jail.

Fat V Skinny

A Woman in Cleveland, has killed her partner, by sitting on him. Apparently they were having a bit of a lovers tiff, and she had enough of his skinny crap and SAT ON HIM. She was sentenced to three years probation and 100 hours community service on Wednesday the 20th of Jan, after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter. The Skinny Guy’s Family was not impressed with the sentence. “So basically you can say that I can go sit on somebody and get probation?” said one of the victim’s sisters.

Now just to prove I`m not making this stuff up, you can read about it here, or watch the 40 second clip, below

BoSL HOBBY CHALLENGE: To Build a Tervigon/Tyrannofex

BoSL is running a hobby challenge that sounds strangely similar to the one I started last week. But they are offering REAL PRIZES. So why dont we have a DLT enter both, win mine so I can run the story, and win Bosl and get the below. For more information click here

And that was the News

Good Day Ladies, Gents and War gamers, this Bestia from the DLT forums, bring you the weekly news wrap up

Release of the Tyranids

To start with, this week has the official release of the Nids codex. Now first things first, I think Gw needs to be congratulated for the lack of rumours and “Official” scans out before the official release.
What ever leaks they had, they seems to have been plugged.

With the release of the Nids codex, there is a world of new modelling opportunities for the converters out there. The boys over at the BoLS are already hard at work with 2 step by step process articles on creating a Tervigon

Goatboy's Tervigons

Aventine's Tervigon

And as this is my first “Broadcast” I am going to throw it open, (With out telling Mack, Dan or Richard) a small contest, Post your best walk through in creating a Big Bug, that doesn’t have an official model, and I will feature it in an upcoming news cast. Make sure you have photos.

Upgrade pack for the Tyranids

And on the topic of Nids, the evil hiveminds over at warpshadow.com have release rumours that an upgrade pack for the Nids will be released “Perhaps as early as Feb we’ll have upgrade packs out to help us fill holes we have for options “ – Conqueror Warpshaddow.com

GW Projected Profits

This week also saw a report in BusinessWeek saying that Gw’s projected profit before tax is going to be approx 8 million US dollars. What does this mean for us gamers, well unless you own stocks in GW, not a lot. I don’t see a price cut. Though a suggestion to GW, use some of that profit for either a better pre release codex play testing team, or better FAQ writers . Do something to prove to your loyal fans that spend their hard earned cash on your products that you listen and care. See the full report here

Blood Angels Rumours

In other news, Bell of Lost Souls, have posted a list of “Tid bits and rumours” for the Blood Angels, as with all rumours I report, these are unofficial, and have not been verified, but you can check them out here

Also with the release of the Space Vampires, GW is going to release a new paint. “Moonlight Red” with be a nice deep red, and when placed in sun light glitters. This should bring in all the Twilight fans … *This isn’t true, just a joke

And now for something completely different

If you left your baggy of Coke at the kennedy space station, there are some daemons of Slaanesh waiting for you.

The baggy of Horse, was found outside of a restroom on Tuesday morning. And the squares in charge will start drug testing the employees on Wednesday

Read the full story here ….

Congratulations

And for our final story, congratulations goes to Richard, of the Chi town boys, for finally completing his Space Marines company. Richard refuses to buy Space Marine bikes because and I quote “are for pussies” and a thunderfire cannon, because while he believes it is a great looking models, he doesn’t like the rules and cant see a use for it in his play style.

And that is the news ………..
