Breaking: Necrons Do Not Take Damage After A Night Scythe Is Destroyed



Credit: Blood of Kittens

I don't normally post "news" as typically it would just be a repost from every other blog, but this is huge and has not spread much yet. The image to the left is from the Blood of Kittens facebook page and shows a very clear change from the previous wording as to what happened when a Night Scythe is destroyed.

Old Rule:  “If the Night Scythe is destroyed, the embarked unit is not allowed to disembark, but instead enters reserve (when they arrive, they cannot Deep Strike).”

New Rule: "If the night scythe is destroyed, the embarked unit suffers no damage."

This should end all the debates, all the arguments, and all the blood feuds...except for one little detail - it does not appear in a GW FAQ yet. I sincerely hope they make that change soon though. As Reece (i assume) from Frontline Gaming said, "I am just glad they're actually addressing this stuff, who cares if the RAW or RAI is correct." I agree, a definitive answer is what I will always prefer.

Either way, this is a clear statement by GW of their position on the matter, and I think that is very much worth noting.


Caveat - I do not own the Necron eBook (or an iPad for that matter), so if anyone who does could comment here, facebook message me, or email me a confirmation of this image's validity that would be awesome! I have now received independent confirmation which verifies this change.

Missing Dark Vengeance Rant

So I ordered Dark Vengeance from Games Workshop as soon as I saw it had gone on pre-order. I knew I was paying a little more this way than if I bought it from another retailer, but since I was tied down at work Saturday I figured this way I would be able to have all of Sunday and Monday of the holiday weekend to play with my new toys. It didn't come Saturday.

Bummer I thought. I mean, GW sent me an email that said they had sent it Wednesday morning, plenty of time to move the goods from Tennessee to Minnesota, so this obviously was not their fault. Then on Tuesday I checked the mail and there was no wonderful package waiting for me. This is where I started feeling slighted. I paid 25% more to have the limited edition come from GW rather than elsewhere, and $8 more to have a limited edition in the first place so that I would have it a week earlier than the regular release. So I pop open my email and I check out the tracking information.

My package is currently in Illinois. That is some bad work on FedEx's part right? My precious game is only halfway to me after 6 days of transit. Then I noticed when GW gave FedEx my package...Friday night.
