Forgeworld released a nice video teaser—titled, Conquest—for the Horus Heresy. It featured a dramatic image of a Knight Castigator, and an evocative quote:

Then there came a day when the sun was as blood and the very air became ashes

And men cried out for salvation but went unanswered

For the Angel of Death was with them and all was lost

The clip ends with: "Conquest is Coming, Winter 2014"

Commanders’ Corner (Tactics and Army Building):

The Orks vs. Space Wolves battle continues…

1750 Game - Space Wolves Win

The Space Wolves were able to survive the Orks’ close combat attacks with their 3+ invulnerable saves

Paying for ‘ard armor was a waste of points, as the Space Wolves had access to plenty of AP4 or better weapons, those points could have been spent on more bodies with more attacks

The Orks really struggled to deal with the Land Raider’s AV14

Deff Koptas did nothing

1850 Game - Space Wolves Win (14-0) after tabling the Orks in Turn 3 (Chris’ ass is still sore!)

The Orks should have spread out to avoid getting annihilated by the Space Wolves’ Whirlwind. Who loses to a whirlwind….?

The Space Wolf Venerable Dreadnought was able to hold it’s own against 4 Killa Kans, relying on its superior AV12 front armor to protect it from their relatively weak STR7 attacks

Deff Koptas did nothing

Lootas, Meks, Tankbustas, and other Ork units with high strength shots would have likely helped

The Orks struggled to deal with the Space Wolves’ greater initiative in close combat; often times, the Orks were completely wiped out before they had a chance to strike back -- more bodies would have helped to prevent this
