Codex: Inquisitor?
Entirely left of field we get this great snippet from Games Workshop: digital Editions
This November, you will be able to download the brand new Codex: Inquisition.
A full codex, packed with background and artwork on the forces of the Imperium’s most secretive and powerful organization. You’ll soon be able to field an Inquisitor and their retinue in any Imperial army in games of Warhammer 40,000.
We’ll be releasing more details on this book through our Facebook page as the date approaches, so make sure you’re signed up to follow us.
In fact, once we reach 5,000 likes, we’re going to reveal the full cover of the book (so get your friends to sign up to if you want to see it) Here’s a little snippet.
We’ll be back next week on Tuesday, with more Digital Editions news and more info on the upcoming Codex: Inquisition.
Thanks for reading!

One can't help but think these guys never got the memo. Who are you people? Games Workshop: Digital Editions or GW:DE have been responsible for more news and rumours in the past month than GW has been for the last 10 years... And I for one am not complaining!
It needs to be mentioned that within the last month GW:DE have released the 'Sentinels of Terra' (I purchased a copy from BL and found it to be a very good read), announced an Iron Hands supplement, previewed the Digital release of the Blood Angels Codex and of course we have the "Adeptus Sororatis" as well. Where the hell is my Adeptus Mechanicus!!?
Reading into the news snippet they suggest that this new Codex allows an Imperial player to take an Inquisitor and there retinue in any Imperial army. Does this mean it is not a stand alone Codex? Will we be receiving new models of Inquisitors soon? Will Forgeworld be supporting the releases with models? More questions than answers!
Hopefully this is a sign of the times and we will once again see GW previewing/teasing new releases again to create talk in the community. It can only be positive.
Go 'like' their facebook page now, as they have promised more information at 5000 'likes', and as of now they are sitting on 4947...

Countdown to NZTC
We are now just a few short days away from the first NZ team Championship.
Last night I spent some time assembling and basing my Chaos Dwarfs ready for the tournament, and realised that once again I have left everything to the last minute as nothing is finished... The army is so far away from being finished, and at the current rate will barely make the 3 colour minimum cut. I really hate using unfinished armies but with the ETC less than 6 months out I really need to get some experience/practice playing the army in a competitive environment, and what better place than the NZTC! Add to that I am not the best painter around, and have had painters block for the last month or so, so it has been a real chore to try get this far.
A huge preemptive thanks needs to go out to Sam Whitt from the OMEN team for lending me his BSB and K'daai destroyer for the event! Without it I would not be taking the Chaos Dwarfs to this event. So to all you other teams, you can thank him for his selflessness =P
Know now that he will not be taking bribes to 'forget' them as I am sure his cost is way out of your price range...
In the weekend that has just been I made the pilgrimage to Warclouds 2013 in Christchurch, teaming up with a friend to play in the 40k doubles tournament with some borrowed armies. We ran a combination of Raven wing Bikes and a Death Company drop pod army (format was 1250 points per player). I don't often play 40k, only owning a handful of FW marines and a few Necrons, but I did enjoy the weekend and opportunity to do something different for a change. However I did get caught sneaking a look at the WHFB rulebook half way through a 40k game... Our games consisted of action right from the word go, with 75% of our army scout moving, and those that didn't arriving via drop pods in the first turn. Highlights where people forgetting (or failing) to kill the Death Company Dread first turn, only to have it rampage through entire units, opponents not spacing out units enabling the baal predator to incinerate entire squads first turn, and single Death Company marine assaulting a tervigon and killing it with a power sword (yeah, 4 hits, 4 6's to wound...). We came out with 1 loss, 2 draws and three wins. I am now looking forward to the opportunity to paint up my FW marines and get enough to make a full force, but damn, whose silly idea was it to try paint yellow...

Damon, Mike and I got a chance to plan the demise of all the other teams attending the NZTC this weekend. Although we didn't actually manage to make a plan for their demise, we did manage to plan he demise of our other team mate Alans Empire army. Expect us to throw him under the bus at any given opportunity!
In all seriousness there has been a lot of smack talk on the local interwebs scene. Whilst our team will not be stooping to the gutter like all the other teams (obviously there is no need to lower ourselves to their levels, as we have two uncapped ETC players on the team, the title is practically ours! /end sarcasm), the banter has been amusing.

I am picking the podiums to be made up of Kapiti Krushers, NZ Hammered, Cut the Mustard, and the Vonn Trapp Family.
As for us I think we will be competing for 5th or 6th place. My reasoning simply because Mike refuses to use Doom Divers! So to all those attending, when you see mike, ask him about his doom divers, or lack there of!
