Are Cadians the most badass Guardsmen? Sure Catachans live on a death world but Cadia is constantly attacked by Chaos so they see more disturbing shit and face tougher opponents. I still prefer Savlar Chem Dogs though.

All Imperial Guardsman are of such a high badass level, it becomes impossible to rate them against one another. Cadians also have the benefit of showing up in adaptations more than any other regiment, so they're badassery is on display more often than everyone else.

Krieg will probably always be my favorite, but I haven't seen a Guard regiment I didn't love yet.

Cadians are, unarguably, the most badass Guardsmen. Even their civilians are trained to shoot and probably as good as the PDF forces of most worlds. Their entire world is constantly prepared for war, from the buildings to the landscape to the endless numbers of its population, and they're prepared to war against the most ancient, worst enemies the Imperium has to face. They're a rather dour lot, prefer experience to doughty rank or title, and prefer plain and serviceable to the ornate, but they're good for quick, decisive action, and are prepared to die well, but not needlessly - perfect soldiers.

It's too bad they've become the generic guardsmen since they're default model.

>Black Lantern Power Battery
The wording seems ambiguous here. You're exiling multiple cards and creating multiple tokens, but you refer to the exiled cards and to the power/toughness of the tokens in the singular. Which might not be technically incorrect, but is certainly confusing, especially at a glance. Maybe consider a flat p/t across all of the tokens?

Exiling creatures like this makes me raise my eyebrow, and strikes me as something Blue is more likely to do. I'm actually having some trouble picturing exactly what's going on here. A Human that makes Elementals from exiled creatures? What?

>UR02
Nice.

>UR03
I feel like this could be really strong, but only in the right deck. Kinda reminds me of the second Rakdos card.

What a shit legend.

When are we going to start getting legends that explore new design space again?

That being said, this card is going to allow g/r/x decks to generate a shit ton of mana. Azuza/summer bloom/exploration and bouncing Gaea's Cradle comes to mind.

I have a G/B/R Eldrazi deck but with the advent of blue Eldrazi in BFZ I seriously considered making it five-color, partly so I could have flying, but also so I could use Herald of Kozilek and Sire of Stagnation. Sire has a special place in my heart after I pulled it in a draft with some friends and fucking curbstomped because all my friends had built around landfall to some degree.

Anyway with the one white Eldrazi that was spoiled I feel even more incentivised to go five-color, but of course my commander selection is limited and I certainly can't have an Eldrazi commander. Any suggestions?

I seriosuly doubt it. There has been discussion as to what happened to Gotrek that is still going on. I think all we know from rumors is that the Fyreslayers are trying to resurrect Grimnir. I think. Won't know until I get my hands on the battletome.

The rumor mongers just say maybe a couple more Fyreslayer heroes and that big magma beast (forgot what it's called, but it's not a salamander)

It is 76 years since the Battle of Raate Road, fought during the Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland in January 1940, as a part of the Battle of Suomussalmi.

During the battle of Suomussalmi, the Finns cut the Raate road on December 11, 1939. The action blocked the second, southern supply route to the Soviet 163rd Rifle Division in the town of Suomussalmi. The Finns also cut the first, northern supply route on 13 December, and the Soviets were forced to open a new supply route through Lake Kiantajärvi. The 163rd Division was nearly surrounded and suffered major casualties in Suomussalmi. The situation was getting worse, and on 20 December the commander of the 163rd Division, Andrei Zelentsov, asked permission to retreat from Suomussalmi. In response, part of the 44th Division, the 1st Battalion of the 305th Infantry Regiment, and the 3rd Battalion of the 662nd Infantry Regiment, were sent to reinforce the 163rd Division troops near Suomussalmi. Zelentsov's concerns were not understood at Red Army headquarters, as the entire 44th Division was about to move along the Raate road.

Most military historians date the battle of the Raate road from 1 January to 7 January 1940. The Raate road was though a battlefield during the entire Winter War. Before the main battle against the 44th Division, the Finns fought retreat battles against a part of 163rd Division on the Raate road. Furthermore, some battles were fought on the east side, near the border, on the road during the rest of the Winter War.

At the start of the battle of Raate road, Siilasvuo's 9th Division had already destroyed the Russian 163rd Division. After that, it received orders to destroy the Soviet 44th Division, which was stopped on the road near Haukila, 12 kilometers from Suomussalmi. The Finnish 9th Division was split in four squadrons, each named after their commanders. The decisive battle was ordered to begin on January 5, 1940, 08:30.
