More Chapter Approved rumors

Okay, I have absolutely no idea where Blood of Kittens received their information from, but they compiled a huge list of rumored points changes. As usual, the salt advice applies. Like the skeptical dudes from DakkaDakka say, these may be true, or they may be 100% false. Unless you're suggesting that I don't post rumors and telling me what I should or should not post on my blog, then I'll just go ahead and share with you the Blood of Kittens' post.

Again, I don't know how reliable Blood of Kittens are, but having read through their site before...I guess I won't dismiss them out of hand completely. But yeah.

Of interest to me is the Thousand Sons and Imperial Guard rumors.

Rubric Marines down by 2 points to 16, Tzaangors up to 8 points per model, Cultists and Guardsmen up from 4 points to 5 points (I'm not going to comment on this otherwise Daedalus will hate me more than he already does), warpflamers down from 15 to 10 points. Scarab Occult Terminators down 7 points to 26. Lord of Change now from 320/330 to 245 points - a massive 85 points cut. Wow. And twin lascannons are now down 10 points to 40, especially for Space Marines. So your lascannon Predators are 10 points cheaper (unless normal lascannon drops to 20 as well) and my twin lascannon Contemptor Dreadnoughts are 20 points cheaper. Awesome, I guess? Even better, Rubric Marines (and Grey Knights) are getting Full Smite. So your Aspiring Sorcerers and Scarab Occult Terminators will become more potent than ever! Wow! Still think Thousand Sons should be an army of Tzaangors instead of Rubric Marines?

Anyway, I'll let you know if I hear more news, but that's about it! Again, one last time, I don't know how reliable Blood of Kittens are, so take this rumor with an extremely large pinch of salt, okay? And don't misunderstand, this is not a rumor blog. I'm just compiling rumors regarding my armies (Thousand Sons and Imperial Guard) because it would definitely affect the way I play them. So let's not fling accusations here and there. If you don't believe me, fine. You don't have to. You can even tell me to stop posting rumors, and we'll all go back to our boring lives of having nothing to speculate or discuss or argue over. That's fine with me too, Cephalobeard. I'll do whatever the people on the Internet tell me to do because that's how it works, right?
