Default Radeon meets Jervis

Alright, I already posted this up on the B&C, but here we go again!

I know that the comments about DA belong in the DA section, but it is news so I figured it should be put here.

Anyways, here it is:

We had a few unexpected guests show up at my local Games Workshop today: Jervis and the Regional Management Team for Baltimore! We got to play some fifth edition games with him, learn about new rules, talk to him about his concept ideas, it was great!

Being that I am a DW player, I thought this was AWESOME: The Apoc Reload book (he brought us a copy) has a Deathwing Strike Force Formation. You have either Belial, Termie Libby, or Termie Chappy lead 3 or more terminator squads. They must Deathwing Assault and all squads attached to the Formation come in on turn one, they count as one squad. I asked JJ about an idea and he said it was ok. Here is the idea:

I have a Chaplain lead about 10 Deathwing squads in this formation, then I have another Deathwing squad in deep strike as well. On the first turn half my termie squads DS, and since the formation counts as one squad, I get to drop those 50 termies in DWA (turn one) and just leave the other 1 squad in reserve.... pretty sweet huh?!?

Also, JJ is working on publishing a book full of missions, each mission is designed for a specific army. Eldar missions, SM missions, Tau Missions, and hopefully SW, BT, DA, BA as well! 33 Missions in total.

Well, I'm very tired, I hope you enjoy reading this.

You...met...Jervis?!?!?!! That in itself is cool 'nuff, the book sounds awesome! Is the scenario book just for Apocalypse, or for all 40k games?

The Apoc Reload is just for Apoc, but if you have a friendly opponent, I don't see why you couldn't use a few Apoc formations in a standard game The scenario game is for 40K, however he said publishing will take about a year, cause that's just how long publishing takes...

I also forgot to mention that I saw the new green sprue that comes with the Gamer's Set, its awesome! Also, the space marines and orks that come in the starter set look amazing, once they are put together you would NEVER think that they are snap together. I'll probably buy the set simply for the terminators and dreadnought, pass off the other stuff to a person new to the hobby.

Looks like we are going to have some great things happening later this year.

As a side note, the regional staff that showed up seemed to like me, said that I should apply for a job while I'm in college... WOOT!

That is cool, when the regional management tells someone to apply, you probably should.

I'm also jealous that you managed to meet someone like Jervis Johnson...

Glad to see people enjoyed the info. If you have any specific questions about new releases, I might have heard something about it and just forgotten to post it.

Also, the regional management team for Glen Burnie told me with a wink and a nod that the new Space Marine models would be out not only in time for Christmas, but in time for Thanksgiving as well.

No pics I'm afraid, I think the regional team would of been ticked if I took pics of there unreleased and unleaked book.

Shonuff, I live about 25minutes away from the Glen Burnie HQ, I live in Baltimore, or more specifically... Perry Hall/White Marsh area.

Jervis dropped in because he was at Baltimore Games Day and is a friend of our Manager, he is British and used to be on the terrain design team over there.

Trust me SteelLegion, my feelings were mixed, but since the crowd was excited, I just went with the flow of things.

Besides, I got to see a lot of unreleased stuff, so I'm not complaining to much.

Should've back handed him and said, "Dusk Raider wants his Legion codices out NOW!"

Other then that, cool stuff. Any clue when they intend to redo the outdated Chaos Legion troops? Metal minis suck.
