Yes that was a long winded title but it pretty much sums up the story. Diaz has been with GW for 16 years and will be departing the GW team for his home in Spain and the new company Zenit.

Wargaming Convention

Summer Valhalla is coming. Valhalla is a six day wargaming convention paradise (August 26-31) set in the scenic mountains of Utah, hosted by Blue Table Painting. You pick up your ticket and we take care of the rest.

On top of the regular day and night mini wargaming and food, this August we are featuring the following guests and activities:
• We will have boardgame give-aways from Coolmini as well as demos of their popular games, painted up by BTP.
• Corvus Belli, the makers of Infinity, will be out with swag models, demos, and specialty scenarios.
• Nathan McDyer, a producer from Bethesda, the makers of Skyrim, will be out with give-aways and a mini-seminar on how to break into the video game industry.
• Battlefoam will represent with swag and demos of their new game Wild West Exodus.
• We will be holding a painting clinic with BTP’s own Ben and Karen as well as a guest Golden Daemon winner (TBA).

We have a special running: a two room deluxe suite kitted out for a gaming group of six friends at a special rate.

Google gave Faeit his site back. The Rumors, news, old posts, old images, all of it. Back in action. He mentions in the video that he and the GW legal team are currently on good terms. Do you think that means they have backed down a bit? Hard to say, but it’s good to see him back in action. It seems the new site will be up sometime this week.

Even check out these awesome new Apocalypse Rumors he got.

via an anonymous source (from the Faeit 212 inbox)
I am getting small bits of information regarding the Apocalypse Supplement release.

Apocalypse
Only the Imperial Guard and Orks are not getting an a new Apocalypse vehicle, but they could be getting new apoc aircraft. It seems so that all armies will have 1 apoc vehicle and 1 aircraft.

Forgeworld
We should be seeing a FW apoc book same month as GW apoc release covering all vehicles and aircraft from previous apoc books

UPDATE: Oh, and then there were videos.

As I said earlier, let the rumors swirl. Here we have a roundup of some of the things floating around on BoLS.

**All the photos in this post are via the BTP Flickr Page. Just beautiful work guys.**
