The big news in the Wargame's blogging world is the disappearance of Faeit212. This is apparently due to the blog displaying unreleased images of content from the White Dwarf magazine.

The question is what/who will GW target next? They seem to want to destroy their own company by firstly forcing customers to buy direct from them and now slowly shutting down the internet community that supports their products.

I can understand GW's point of view but I don't think this will do anything for their already tarnished public image. Interestingly, it appears that Faeit212 has not been the only blog targeted by GW, with Apocalyse40k amongst others also receiving a DMCA complaint. BoLS also went down but it is thought that it was probably due to a Google error.
