Waiting for Dreads on XBL.
As we all know, on January 24th, THQ is going all out with its space marine game and adding dreads.
I for one can not wait.
THQ Announcement:
AGOURA HILLS, Calif. Jan 18, 2012 – THQ Inc. today announced the second downloadable content pack for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is scheduled to release for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Playstation®3 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC on 24th January (US) / 25th January (EU).
The premium add-on pack called The Dreadnought, adds a new multiplayer mode called Dreadnought Assault where both teams battle to capture a central location on the map and the winners spawn a player controlled Dreadnought. The Dreadnought is armed with an Assault Cannon / Auto Cannon, a Meltagun and a Power Fist / Power Claw and must capture points across the map to score points for their team. Once the Dreadnought is destroyed a new spawn point will appear.
The Dreadnought DLC also includes three new multiplayer maps Desolation, Dome Mechanicus and Chem Refinery, as well as new achievements / trophies and has a suggested cost of 800 Microsoft Points / US$9.99.
In addition to the premium add-on content all players of Space Marine will receive a new multiplayer Capture and Control Mode for free. Playable on all the game’s multiplayer maps, this team based mode challenges players to capture and defend locations around the map to score points.
Jim Huntley, Vice President of Global Brand Management commented, “Fans of Space Marine have been asking for vehicles for a while so we are delighted to be bringing the iconic Dreadnought and Chaos Dreadnought to consoles for the first time in this DLC content.”
Alongside this add-on content THQ will be releasing two new player skins for sale on the Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network, Playstation® Network and STEAM. Players will be able to purchase unique Iron Hands and Death Guard skin packs for a suggested price of 240 Microsoft Points / US$2.99 each.

Attempting a scarab factory so I can play scarab farm!
Hello everyone. I must confess, I was really sweating playing my Necrons under the current edition codex....I love these guys, but it seems I would not be able to get models to play the way I wanted.
You see, I have a fun Necron army....a classic all metal raider army. Luckily, I came across Fritz who was also playing and this lead me to From The Warp. Ron had a very cool idea to do scarab bases in line with the way Forgeworld had their ripper bases. That is all well and good, but I use slightly larger scarabs. So, I had to adapt...

Predictions based in nothing more than madness

| Carnac the Magnificent. by Victor McCay |
So one thing I've noticed, among the blogs I read, is the scatter shot prediction method.. Basically, you have a list of hugely crazy predictions and when one is right you seize on that one to back up your future crazy predictions.
Now, generally, I see people taking predictions from noteworthy sources(such as the TEW with their necron leak), changing just a bit and then claiming you were right.
Now, with that in mind, I think I'm going to start my own predictions and please feel free to add your own.
Lets start with an easy one, sixth ed boxed set!
A lot of people have argued you can not have a boxed game without space marines, and while that has been the case, my wild speculation for the sixth ed box will be : Tzneetch marines vs eldar, black library battle...and optional tie to the black library books,
Oh come on, we know chaos is coming and including them in the 6th ed would allow the company to drop the boxset that much faster...and eldar...sheesh, they'd be ok in there. Besides, ahriman vs eldrad would be epic.
Next stop 6th ed rules: I'm gonna predict more models used per game....and models that have not sold well will be great in the new edition....snarky and cynical, perhaps, but I need at least one prediction to come to fruition so I can back up my other wilder ones,
Anyone else wanna play?
