In the first part of the show we re-cap last week’s talk a little bit and there is a highlight on the joy of the game.
In the second part of the show Red talks about Imperial Agents as they are very close to his heart right now.

FTN Episode 521 – How Do You Get Started As A New Painter?
Nov 10, 2024
Paul’s youngest gave a shot at painting Necrons this past week and we talk about getting started as a new painter. The models in the thumbnail are the ones he did. Check them out! Do you know any new hobbyist getting started soon?
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

Getting started as a new painter is a little intimidating. I did my best not overwhelm what might have just been a passing desire to give it a shot by telling him just how many paints he needs or what the ‘perfect’ colors are or whatever. We just sat down with some assembled and primed minis and messed around a bit with Washes a Drubrush and then finished off with a basic edge highlight. He says he had fun. We’ll see if he wants to paint anymore.
I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store! Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!
Of course I went and built 30 more models and primed them for him the next day… ha! it is taking a lot of restraint to not just try to dive in and overwhelm him with information but we are just going to take it one step at a time. He already plays a little bit but I hope to encourage him to take things at his own pace and be proud of what he makes.
In the second part of the show we talk about getting ready for the Grand Narrative here in a few weeks. It is going to be amazing. You’ll get to tune in for a lot of the coverage for the Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar championships that weekend.

FTN Episode 520 – Cool Friendly Team Events and You!
Nov 03, 2024
This is a short show this week. With Halloween and some other events happening this week we thought it would be best to get a short show out instead of having to delay. We hope y’all agree! We talk about a cool team event Tanya is heading to soon.

FTN Episode 519 – Glimpses for Foresight – Can You Force Them?
Oct 27, 2024
In the first part of the show we talk about misplays and how to make them less likely to occur. It happens, sure. But how do you make it less likely to happen? In the second part of the show we wax poetically about a neat topic.

We’re back to the FTN nitty gritty this week. In the first part of the show we talk about a Blade Guard rule misplay and how something small can make a big impact on the game. We talk about the spirit of play and try to focus on getting closer and closer to perfect games without giving any sort of pass to the misplays or folks that might seek to intentionally misplay something under the guise of an ‘oops.’
We also talk about an amazing charity happening right now. The link can be found here. They will ship all over the world.
I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store! Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!
In the second part of the show we talk about the little glimpses one can achieve to plot and plan our their moves far in advance. It may seem like magic to your opponents but we talk about the building blocks of being able to see the future.
After that we talk about batch painting!

FTN Episode 518 – Did the New Stuff Change Your List? – little tweaks
Oct 20, 2024
The game is in a good spot right now. There are a few outliers but was it wide spread? Did we need huge overhauls? We don’t think so and the designers didn’t seem to think so either. We got some nudges here and there was was it enough? Too much? I guess it depends on what army you play.

The show is mostly about the changes this week. It looks like Thousand Sons and Drukari might have been hit the most. The Dark Eldar is a bit of a head scratcher but maybe they are seeing stuff we don’t.
I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store! Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!
There may be some nice winners here depending on who you ask. We sort of think that now that some of the ‘big lists’ might have been toned down just a little the ecosystem will allow some of those lists on the cusps to feel more powerful and maybe dial up their wins a little.
We love it when change hits the game like this. We talk about Guard a little bit as well and they were great before the changes and hardly got apart from Bullgryn. A lot of lists weren’t running them anyway…

FTN Episode 517 – New Blood Angel Model Reveals and Rule 0 Game Talk
Oct 05, 2024
New Blood Angels models hit the website for preorder today and man oh man.. I am excited. Games Workshop sent us the new models to review and paint up. Wow. So much fun and basically auto includes for Blood Angel players. We review the Sanguinary Guard and the Sanguinor models.

In part 2 of the show we talk about some big changes in the Magic the Gathering world and how it might apply to our Warhammer competitive scene. I know these are not 1 to 1 comparable things but it does help to keep an eye on the other side of the fence. They have a very mature scene over there.
We go down a bit of a rabbit hole but these are the types of conversations I love to have with my buddies.

FTN Episode 516 – NEW Kill Team Review! – and How To Netlist
Sep 21, 2024
Games Workshop was nice enough to send us a copy of the new Kill Team rules and we give our first impressions of the game and some of the cool new changes. In the second part of the show we talk about how to Netlist.. Nothing wrong with borrowing someone else’s ideas sometimes.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

The new Kill Team is extremely fun and a cool way to get play a fully immersive game in a short amount of time. Each model, even a basic trooper in 40k, will feel like a hero. Tons of wounds, tons of potential and tons of fun. The game is more streamlined and has a PvE mode that seems like a ton of fun to play.
I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store! Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!
In the second part of the show Tanya asks ‘how do I make a netlist work?’ This is an interesting question and it is not as straightforward as you may think.
Too many players take too much for granted and when the situation doesn’t line up exactly then the wheels come off. We sort of highlight these concerns so you can watch out for them.

FTN Episode 515 – Will Blood Angels Dominate the Meta? Liberator Assault Group
Sep 14, 2024
Wondering what the best Blood Angel detachment is? Wonder no more. We run down the comparables and focus a little bit on the Liberator Assault Group from the upcoming Blood Angel Codex. It’s good and will likely but what current BA players try while they figure out the nuances of the other two detachments.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

I tried out the Liberator Assault Group this past weekend using Dante, Mephiston, The Sanguinor, Lemartes and a lot of standard red marines. Including some Blade Guard. It did really well and should be a powerful list right out of the gate for BA players.
I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store! Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!
The Plus 1 Attack and Plus 2 Strength combined with some unit abilities are pretty amazing. I wasn’t sure about the Blade Guard at firs but I honestly liked how they performed when accompanied by a Lieutenant.
In the back half of the show we gush over the new Skaven models. Age of Sigmar continues to knock it out of the park with release after release. What do you think of the new minis?

FTN Episode 514 – What Is The Best Army List In the Land (this past weekend)?
Sep 07, 2024
We kick off the show talking about what lists did the best at the NoVA Open this past weekend. Chaos Space Marines are on the rise but what else? Is the good stuff from earlier in the month still winning? In the back half of the show we complain a little about Blood Angels and Dark Angels.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

Chaos Space Marine hoards won this past weekend largely with their ability to dominate the board and present some interesting problems for what people are taking in lists now-a-days. Are they now the top dogs or was it just the right place right time situation?
I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store! Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!
Generals aren’t resting on old tech to crack new problems – that’s for sure. This is one of the best things about a fairly balanced living breathing meta. People get to try to attack it and that’s fun and fresh.
In the back half of the show Paul kicks it off with a slight bit of complaining and then talking about the Blood Angels. All kidding aside I don’t think it is complaining to wishlist and ‘want’ things from something you care about. What do you think?

FTN Episode 513 – NEW BLOOD ANGELS CODEX REVIEW! It’s here!
Aug 24, 2024
Oh happy day! We got our hands on the new Blood Angels Codex and it’s amazing. We jump out of the gate talking briefly about the not so great and then dive into the sweet sweet goodness that is the rest of the book. It’s different but is it more powerful? Is it the most powerful we’ve ever been?

I am loving the new Blood Angels book. There are three compelling detachments where you can make a case for most of your collection (the part of your collection that survived the cuts).
I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store! Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!
The Sanguinary Guard are going to make their way back on to the table top for sure. Different weapon options but the same battlefield role and they absolutely do it better than they used to with a 4+ invulnerable save.
The Red, Black and the Gold are ways you can sort of define the detachments in your head. Mephiston is back and in full glory almost back to the way he was in 5th edition. BA fans should ultimately love this book but it doesn’t come without some suffering. Sort of like the BA are used to, ha!

FTN Episodde 512 – All The Classified Info on the Inquisitors and Imperial Assassins
Aug 17, 2024
We run down the heavy hitting characters from the Imperial Agents book. In the middle of the show Paul is joined by a special guest to talk about Warcry. After that we’re back to talking 40k and close out the show talking about the Imperial Assassins and our initial thoughts on the Blood Angel models on the Warhammer Community site.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.
We also started a Patreon for the FTN show. This will help us a lot in the form of being able to hire an editor and a few other things. If it is anywhere within your ability to support us on that platform please consider doing so. The link is right here.
Following the show from last week we come back to the Imperial Agents main characters – the Inquisitors and the Assassins. A couple of these will be absolute mainstays in army lists. I think the Eversor is a particular stand out but we try to give them all their due in this episode.
I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store! Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!
In the middle of the show my good buddy Tim joins us to talk about a passion of his – Warcry. If you like the Age of Sigmar setting and looking to ‘toe into it’ this is a good way to do it. Lots of dynamic play, not a lot of models, and the games go pretty quick.
In the half we talk about our time at Gen Con. Enjoy!

FTN Episode 511 – NEW Imperial Agents Reveal – Detachment Breakdown
Aug 10, 2024
Allies are a tricky subject for a lot of players – this new book will break the doors open on what is possible for Imperial Forces but also brings a whole new Imperial dimension in and of itself. There is some powerful stuff in this dex but is it on the right frame? We dive into the detachments.
Hey folks,

We mostly tackle the new Detachments from the upcoming Imperial Agents Codex. There is some really nice stuff in there. There are overlapping rules that incentivize you to take the detachment and the corresponding units assigned to it but there are also very powerful abilities on the units themselves. We talk about the tricks and Stratagems available to each Detachment and the Detachment special rule.
I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store! Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!
Red says his favorite is the Imperialis Fleet. I think my favorite is the Purgation Force. This codex borrows from some other factions to ‘hang it all together’ and seems like a nice way to include these models in your collection even if you don’t want to flesh out a full 2000 point force.

FTN Episode 510 – Adepta Sororitas – Sisters of Battle – Are They Winning?
Jul 27, 2024
The Adepta Sororitas come within inches of winning the Games Workshop US Open Series event in Tacoma. This army is a powerhouse. Is it the new Aeldari? Time will tell but in the hands of a great general – can it be stopped?

Two back to back episodes this week for your listening pleasure. The whole crew is in the house. Red and Paul got the hang out in person this past weekend in Tacoma and it was amazing. We talk about that.
I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store! Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!
A large part of the show is talking about how movement wins games but specifically in relation to knowing a finesse army like the back of your hand. It was amazing to see the power of the Adeptus Sororitas army and the absolute precise movement in every phase of the game. Peak Warhammer under the watchful eye of Mt Rainer.
In part 2 we continue to break down some of the meta and what was winning in attendance in Tacoma as well as what we’re seeing around the world over on the Warhammer Meta Chasers show.

We talk about the team’s performance at the ATC a couple of weekends ago. This event is fabulous and I highly recommend going if you can. We finished in the middle of the pack and that doesn’t bother me a bit. We had a blast and got to play some amazing folks.
In part 2 we talk about the pairing process.

FTN Episode 508 – ATC Pre-Show and a Special Guest Segment (RealmSmith)
Jul 13, 2024
We kick things off with a talk about getting ready for the NATC – 8 player event – team tournaments. We love them.. But they aren’t easy. In the middle of the show Paul sits down with Jason of RealmSmith to talk about some other nerd stuff- D&D.

Our team has had some significant challenges getting ready for this event. We’ve powered through it to get the team to the event and now we’re in the thick of it. We talk a little bit about that journey.
In the middle of the show Paul and Jason Azevedo from RealmSmith talk about how he got started, living in multiple game worlds and basically just chat.
In the back part of the show we talk a little bit more about AoS and how we are liking it and looking forward to more. It’s a mixed bag this episode!

FTN Episode 507 – Unpacking the 40k Changes and NEW AGE OF SIGMAR!
Jun 29, 2024
We open the show talking about the impact of the new 40k changes this week – Are we really in a 10.5 environment? In part 2 of the show we dive into the Age of Sigmar factions and how Spearhead works.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

The game is changed significantly and a lot of folks out there are signaling they think this is almost a revised edition. What do you think?
In part 2 of the show we discuss the new Age of Sigmar. Games Workshop was nice enough to send up copies of the faction rules and game rules, complementary #adwip #aos.
There is a LOT to unpack but it all looks incredibly fun. Tons of quality of life improvements and it seems like the factions have a real feel to them you would expect going all the way to the root and seeds of every single model and unit. Amazing.

FTN Episode 506 – New Pariah Nexus Missions!
Jun 08, 2024
The game is about to open up all over again. We crack open the new Pariah Nexus mission deck and discuss some of the new and biggest changes. New Deployment types, new missions, gambits are gone… Secret Missions are here.

Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

Do you flip mission cards or do you dictate what you play? No way is the wrong way.. I’m just curious.
These missions, both primary and secondaries, seem real sharp to us. It seems almost like the next evolution of what can be done with missions. Its not just about standing in someplace on the battle field or removing a unit. It feels similar to the current mission set – where lots of armies can stay in contention. Playing these missions might be a little bit of an adjustment to army lists. Some of the new fixed objectives, if you choose to take them, are going to be a slobber knocker for some current list templates.
Later in the episode we talk about some stuff we’ve been up to recently and some future events/projects as well.

FTN Episode 505 – Chaos Space Marine Units for Vashtor. Is Abbadon Jealous?
May 25, 2024
We believe Chaos Space Marines will hit the meta hard next week as the new codex makes it’s way into standard play. In this episode we focus a lot on the Daemonic Techno stuff in the book as we think this will be a stand out choice for a lot of players. Later in the episode we give our first impressions of the new Sigmar edition and Spearhead coming out soon from what we saw in Dallas.

People won’t be able to get enough Chaos in their lives soon. Watch out! Just like the Orks there is a ton of good stuff in this book and people will be drawn to it like a moth to flame. The alluring pull of Chaos…
We talk a bit about one of the new detachments and some of the units you might want to include if you’re leaning that direction. Even if you’re not looking to land on something specific as a go to we talk about how Warp Talons go well in just about anything.
Later in the episode we give our first takes on all the New Age of Sigmar stuff that got leaked over the last weekend from the Spearhead events in Warhammer World and the Dallas Open.

FTN Episode 504 – Chaos Space Marines Review – Get Ready for Wins
May 11, 2024
Chaos Space Marines go up for pre-order today and this will make a lot of fans extremely happy. This codex has something for everyone and delivers power no matter how you want to use your collection. We go into the myriad of detachments in this Codex. If you love CSM you don’t want to miss this.

Just like their loyalist cousins this book has a TON of detachments that look kinda like the legions you may know and love if you squint just right. The format makes it very clear that you are now meant to use the models and units however you want and not be shackled by a mere color scheme.
I love this aspect of this edition. Do you love Iron Warriors but want to play them like Word Bearers? Go for it.
The Sneaky and Tough detachments in this book are instant go-tos for me. Each one of these are packed with tricks and stuff that just ‘works’ right now in 40k. Love it!

FTN Episode 503 – It’s About Orking Time
Apr 20, 2024
The Orks are back and will be an absolute staple of the table. From the most casual to the most competitive, this book has you covered. We talk a little about our favorite detachments but every where you look in this Codex there is something fun and powerful to play. Custodes… They might need some help.

Wow. The Waaagh is gonna be super strong again. A detachment can do it TWICE. It only effects a handful of units but it is exactly the units you want it on so is that really a drawback? I don’t think so.
Nobs and Meganobs can be beefed up with some amazing character support It will be hard what to choose to stick with them. Gaz might be incredibly popular as well but it is kind of cool to say that he doesn’t seem like an auto include. What that says to me is that the replayabilty of this book for the list brewmaster is off the charts.
The Dreadmob is a favorite way to play with a lot of Warbosses. This is also back in a big way. If you like big pressure lists it might be a toss up between this one and the Beast Snaggas. Ork generals have TONS of options. We didn’t mention this in the show but Defkoptas can dish out a major amount of Mortal Wounds. Watch out!

FTN Episode 502 – The Ironstorm Detachment is Brutal! – Space Marine Menace!
Apr 08, 2024
A shorter episode this week. We talk about the Gladiator Variants and what is happening out there with the Space Marine meta at the moment. The Space Marines have a brutal list that is offering up a pretty good counterpoint to the mid board domination meta. Have you come across it yet?

Space Marines are definitely back. We are seeing a LOT of Ironstorm and merged with Black Templar of all things. In this episode I mis-say Iron Warriors when I mean Iron Hands approximately 97 times. Please forgive me.
If you’ve been sitting on Gladiator Tanks your time is now! These things are crazy good right now when paired with a Tech Marine in the right detachment. We run down the virtues of the three variants both as informational if you want to play with these and as a warning if you plan to face them.
Do not underestimate these tanks!

FTN Episode 501 – What Happens Now? Horus is Dead
Mar 30, 2024
It is just Red and Paul this episode while the other folks are traveling and recuperating. Now that the Siege of Terra is over and done we kinda ask ourselves – What happens now?
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

The Siege of Terra end is going to leave a lot of people wondering what to do next. I’ve got an Audible subscription now. What am I supposed to do with my life? ha! The answer is something along the lines of maybe taking a breath, chilling a bit and then moving on to another series.
We have ADB’s Black Legion books as well. These came out a few years ago and are phenomenal. It gives you a look at Abbaddon right after then whole shebang went down and as he is starting to take command of the Chaos Space Marines.
In this episode Paul also gives an Adepticon recap. It was another stellar event and I will definitely be back next year. The Adpeticon folks continue to deliver a must do experience year after year.

FTN Episode 500 – The Tau are Blasting Back! – Tau Codex First Looks
Mar 16, 2024
This is the nicest army release box for this edition to date. It comes with some amazing models, the data cards and host of brand new figures. We also get a first look at the Tau Codex. Will they have what it takes to jump into the meta mix?
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

GW was kind enough to send us a box to review. There are some big changes here and you know people don’t like a lot of change right? Crisis Suits get an overhaul but they do get some cool new rules. Are more rules what is needed to offset the weapon options that used to appear in units? That utility is gone but not forgotten. Tau players will need to find it in other areas. They just might be able to though…
The close combat might of the Tau is gonna be… well, it’s gonna be possible but I’m not sure how mighty it is yet. One thing we do know for sure is that the Tau will be able to push a LOT of models to the middle of the table before the game even starts for real for not a lot of points. A ton of the game is played in the first couple of rounds and the Tau kind of have some tricks to totally lock the mid board objectives down while potentially threatening the entire table.
We also talk about the new Kroot Hunting Pack. These models are amazing. This box will certainly sell out so make sure and get the pre-orders in ASAP.

FTN Episode 499 – Are The Astra Militarum Coming Back To the Table?
Feb 25, 2024
Guard players are out there, for sure, we know that. but the win percentage has been down as a whole for the faction. There are lots of reasons why that might be the case. We talk about how to up those numbers a bit.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

Astra Militarum are tricky. There are TONs of unit options for them so it is easy to make a less than optimal army list when you don’t know who your games are going to be against. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, all the top lists are pretty awesome at taking out everything in the Guard book. Soooo.. a lot of Guard players have been struggling.
Some of those top contenders have been taken down a peg. The living breathing ecosystem that is the meta has changed and many things that used to prey on the Guard don’t work the same anymore. Does that open the door to more guard players making it deeper into tournaments undefeated? Maybe… just maybe.
It will still come down to player skill and list design. Thankfully the missions are set in stone right now at most events. You know what you’re going to have to do to win games, but it is up to you to actually make it happen. Guard are far from an auto-win faction. We inject some food for thought on the subject and hope you have some ideas of your own.

FTN Episode 498 – Where Do You Start With Dark Angels?
Feb 19, 2024
The Dark Angels are an ancient and venerable Chapter. Counted 1st among their brothers. Shrouded in mystery. Storied and proud. We give some insight on where to get started with this army if you are brand new to it or just coming back after a long stint hiding in the Rock.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

The Dark Angels codex has some folks left with mixed feelings. Some units feel into the pit of legends. There are some new units with some cool rules and then there are a few new detachments that don’t seem to be blowing people out of their seats. But isn’t that ok? I mean.. Space Marines books in the past have mostly been about synergies and combos. Allowing players to mix and match units to give certain effects or challenges to their opponents on the table top. We don’t dig too deep into that part just yet but more keep it surface level, at where to start with an army list.
I believe there is a lot of opportunity in the Dark Angels codex to build around Leader models. More so than what we’ve seen with the other books thus far as these characters aren’t just sacks of stats but they are also personalities that people have affinity for, things that brought people to the army in the first place.
If you like one of the ‘Wings’ in the lore, great… You’re back in business with this book but a lot of the first born flavor has sadly been relegated to the legends category. I think that may hold people back with a little nostalgia burn but once they get past that… Maybe there is some sweetness there that people haven’t found yet. Any time you have a book come out that leaves some legacy in the dust it seems to take people a while to find the new best stuff.

FTN Episode 497 – Is Warhammer 40k Balanced Now?
Feb 05, 2024
This Balance Dataslate changes a lot. Tons of points updated, some keyword changes, some out right new editions to factions and some subtle clarifications. This update has it all. A couple of factions are untouched… It wasn’t just about knocking the top off the heap. It seems like we are closer and closer to actual balance and proactively managing the game.

Daemons and Drukari might be the biggest winners out of all of this but that will remain to be seen over the next few weeks as these changes make their way out to the bigger tournaments. Daemons will take a knock back from just being allies but might see play as a single faction again as a TON of their units see point reductions.
Custodes undoubtedly took too much of a hit after their success after the edition drop. Now.. maybe they come back. Point alignments in a pretty big way with this faction.
Marines… its tough when Marines are good. Sometimes they are too good and with the sheer variety of units it seems clear that the game would like there to be fewer ‘easy choices’ and a good way to change that efficiency score is to mess with points. Marine lists will change and we might see those multiple Gladiator lists start to creep up to replace what’s out there now per-dataslate.

FTN Episode 496 – Age of Sigmar Recap – LVO 2024
Jan 27, 2024
I had the fabulous opportunity to stream the Age of Sigmar tournament on the Games Workshop Twitch channel. As a result I got to witness some absolutely top level Age of Sigmar play and got to hang out with one of the best communities in gaming.

Wow. Sigmar is thriving and this past weekend witnessed the largest Sigmar tournament to date with almost 400 players from all over the globe. For some it was a way to close out the ITC season and for others it was the first opportunity in 2024 to try and nab a spot in the World Championships of Warhammer.
We recap the event and sing the virtues of the competitors and the community. The entire group brings such enthusiasm to the event. It is no wonder why that event is growing every year. The entire stream team had an amazing time.
It didn’t seem like a surprise to people but there were two Cities of Sigmar players in the finals. It is the most recent book but I don’t think that explains their success. They were phenomenal players. The game came down to tiebreakers. Neither player had much left on the table and it was a joy to watch.

FTN Episode 495 – Getting Started With Old World – Unit Fillers
Jan 14, 2024
Now that folks have seen the rules and have an idea what to expect from the Old World. How do you make those large rank and file units without breaking the bank? We talk a little bit about that and continue to muse on things to come with the New/Old Game.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

There are some amazing tutorials out there on how to make unit fillers for your rank and file games. These are sometimes huge time and money savers as they all you to cut down on the number of specific models you need to complete ranks for those sweet sweet rank bonuses.
After the break we talk a little bit about what it takes to make a ‘good’ 40k army as well. There is so much talk out there on what people are hoping and waiting for from a Balance Data slate that I think some people have taken their eye off of the basics.
At this point we all know what the mission cards require us to do. We need to have units in our list that are capable of that. These are the ‘new’ building blocks of 40k. TONS of games are being played out there and the ones that are doing the best have a lot of list in their list… if you know what I mean. Actually, you don’t have to guess, you just have to listen to this show. ha!

FTN Episode 494 – The Old World is Back! Is It Better Than Ever?
Jan 06, 2024
New Year, Old World. See what I did there? We dive into the Old World rules and talk a little about what is old and what is new. The game feels very much the same but there are some big differences. Is it better? You decide!
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

The Old World rules feel a lot like the old editions of Fantasy Battles but it’s not all the same. It feels like there are honest quality of life improvements in the system but it maintains feel and nostalgia of the rank and flank game we knew and loved.
Knew and Loved? Has time passed enough to where this feels cool again? Will it draw in players from yesteryear or possibly just draw folks away from Age of Sigmar? It’s a different enough game where players will likely play both.
There is a lot of talk out there about the Legacy factions and will you or won’t you be able to play them at events. We don’t talk about that here but we certainly will on future episodes. For now… I think people will really enjoy getting their hands on a freshened up rules set with familiar mechanics All the models are fantastic. Bring on the SQUARE BASES!

I apologize that this episode is a little later coming than I expected but I was doing my annual binge of the entire extended cuts of Lord of the Rings. It just ended.. ha!
We talk about the Necrons and Ad Mech this episode.
The Necrons seem to be doing a little better than the Ad Mech right out of the gate but I honestly think that has more to do with the fact people we ‘ready to go’ with the Necrons more than the Ad Mech players have been. Ad Mech hasn’t been doing a lot of work for the last edition and half or so. Will that change?

We break down the ins and outs of the brand new game Legions Imperialis. Its fun, back and forth action with a whole new line of models.. plus some that have been out a while that you can bring in from other games. The rulebook has everything you need to know to get going in just one purchase.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.
We also started a Patreon for the FTN show. This will help us a lot in the form of being able to hire an editor and a few other things. If it is anywhere within your ability to support us on that platform please consider doing so. The link is right here.
We gush a little bit about the new game from Games Workshop. It’s an interesting new take on a venerable classic. Space Marine Epic came out a long time ago and was one of my first purchases with my own dollars in the hobby. That games brought in lots of factions and maybe we’ll see them one day but Legions Imperialis takes place in the Horus Heresy timeline with just Space Marine legions and Solar Auxliera at the moment.
With that said, you still have TONS of options and different ways to build your fighting force based. You can even bring in flyers from Aeronautic and Titans from Titanicus. Wow. Pretty neat to be able to do that and the rules seem to be pretty streamlined to expand as you grow with the game.
We gush on about the new rules and the possibilities. In the middle of the show we sit down with our main vendor sponsor for the show to talk about what’s going on with his show and how you can save on the new action. We also talk about why you might want to hit him up for pre-orders in the future.

FTN Episode 491 – PAX Unplugged Recap – Teaching 40k and Painting To New People
Dec 09, 2023
Paul had the privilege of going to PAX Unplugged this past weekend to demo games of 40k Combat Patrol and got to meet a TON of new players/hobbyist. PAX is definitely growing and one of the biggest draws of the entire convention was Games Workshop’s paint and take activity. SOOOOOOOO much painting done by people brand new to miniatures over the weekend.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

Paul had the opportunity to teach 40k to a ton of new people over the weekend. Hundreds… it was amazing. People who might have been familiar with rolling dice or using figures for another game like D&D or something but not too many of them had done any wargaming in the past. It was so cool to see their eyes light up when models started getting destroyed or they would land a successful charge.
Pew Pew and Crunch noises were definitely made by one and all. Some folks just wanted to see what it was all about and it was clear that some folks were looking for an excuse to dive right in.
A lot of folks that came by the booth did so after swinging by the Paint and Take hobby area GW had set up in the middle of the convention floor. This allowed new people to take their first shot at painting an Infernus Marine using contrast and layer paints. It was pretty amazing to see their faces light up when they held something in their hands they could be proud of. A big percentage of the people blew past the examples given to them to create something truly unique to their vision.

FTN Episode 490 – Chaos Space Marines Take Home The 40k World Champs!
Nov 26, 2023
We give a broad rundown of the Warhammer World Championships and Grand Narrative Event that happened last weekend in Atlanta, GA USA. It was amazing. Some of the best 40k ever to be played by some of the best players of all time in a competition setting. On the other side of the doors were hundreds of 40k players having the time of their lives in the Grand Narrative. A true event to behold.
Hey folks,

Paul and Adam were on the mics live streaming the whole weekend while Red and his fam were playing in the Grand Narrative. We run down our experiences this episode. You owe it to yourself to put this event on your bucket list.
We definitely expected Chaos Space Marines to do well but it was difficult to call them out as the winner. There were top tier players piloting almost every faction in the game over the weekend. Leagues of Votann came out of obscurity, Aeldari almost kept their top spot, Space Marines came in second with Marnues Calgar of all people in the list!
A Hoard style CSM list took it down in the end by being able to choke the primary and causing bad trades with their Space Marine opponent. That is the extreme high level take. The games played on stream were spectacular and you should check them out over on the Warhammer twitch feed.

FTN Episode 489 – World Champs Preview! Get Hyped!
Nov 12, 2023
A bit of a short episode this week as we get ready for the World Championship of Warhammer and the Grand Narrative in Atlanta GA. Players from all over the world will be coming to play for their country’s glory or to be enshrined in the lore of Warhammer 40,000. It will be amazing.
Hey folks,

We talk a lot about what to expect from the Grand Narrative based on what we think will happen this year and from last year’s incredible event.
The back part of the show is all about hobby stuff. This comes up for us as we get ready for events too. It’s cool how this stuff goes hand in hand.
We’ll be back to the normal format for the show after we return from ATL and get back to it leading into the holiday season. Stay tuned!

FTN Episode 488 – Is There Life In Assault?
Nov 04, 2023
Assault is dead, Long Live Assault! There was an overwhelming amount of shooting in the game just after the edition launched. Has that changed? If it hasn’t changed for you, maybe you haven’t seen what’s coming from Space Marines, World Eaters and the like. We think it’s back, baby.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

In the last episode we talked about how World Eaters took second in other episodes how terrain can be such a factor. At more and more events we’re seeing them with better terrain layouts and more variety being an option for what generals can take. With the release of the Space Marine book the doors are blown wide off. We talk just a little bit about using them as Blood Angels but they are by no means limited to that path.
There are at least two, and arguably three, detachments that breath a ton of life into assault based armies. They give them tricks we haven’t seen since the edition flip and players are start to turn on to them. Advance and charge, reliable hitting and wounding in any phase of the game, etc.
We are seeing assault armies like World Eaters and Space Marine variants get a ton of support from Character/Leader models that quite literally give them the juice to get across the table and maximize contact with the opponent. We hope this is a thing that persists through the codex releases.

FTN Episode 487 – Sisters Take Gold! Is it a Fluke?
Oct 22, 2023
A phenomenal general took gold at the Games Workshop US Open event in Tampa last week with amazing play and doing it with none other than the Sisters of Battle, Adeptus Sororitas. No one would have expected this. We break down the top two lists.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

Wow. World Eaters being 2nd place in the edition where everyone says assault is dead blows my mind. This speaks to the pilot of the list, of course, but also to the fact that there is plenty left to uncover in the early days of 10th.
Jeffery K taking the top spot with an army that EVERYONE seems to have counted out is spectacular. He took his collection to the big show and came out with the gold. I hope I get to see him in Atlanta.
When we talk about solid play making up for some list efficiencies this is what we mean. The balance dataslate did a lot to level the playing field and now we’re seeing what players can do with it. Still.. I don’t think anyone would have predicted these two army lists topping the charts without being familiar with the players. Congrats to Jeffery and Jack, well earned and well fought.

The Hobby segment is about how and when to remove mold lines. It is when you see them. You primed that figure already? No worries, do yourself a favor and scrape that line anyway and spot prime/paint that area.

FTN Episode 486 – Space Marine Codex First Looks – What Is The Best Unit?
Oct 08, 2023
We have the new Space Marine Codex in hand and it’s awesome! This codex delivers on form and function. The detachments within let you build out any Space Marine chapter you know and love but does not really force or even imply you need them painted a certain color. What do you think about that?
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

There is no doubt that this is a must have for any Space Marine player. More than just the detachments letting you mimic Space Marine chapters you know and love you have a lot of options when it comes to using your own personal collection.
We talk about a couple of the stand out units like the Company Heroes and Aggressors making their way up to one of the top units. We think this codex with breath a lot of life into the collections some Space Marine players have 100%.

FTN Episode 484 – What Does The Balance Dataslate Mean To YOU?
Sep 10, 2023
The balance dataslate dropped last week with huge quality of life improvements on both sides of the table. What does this mean to you? I know a lot of players found themselves with a couple of hundred points to spare. Some other players.. Not so much.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

Aeldari definitely take a bit of a hit in this dataslate with point increases and changes to devastating wounds. The dev wounds thing is still hugely powerful against vehicles and large models but how hoards are a little more insulated from the effect. The point changes will no doubt cause some generals to have re-think about their lists but we theorize the night spinners and fire prisms will still make it into lists but we might see a fewer Warp Spiders and Shadow Specters.
Several units saw their sizes messed with. This can be an increase or decrease. Balance comes in many forms…
Armies like Death Guard are getting a whole new lease on life but is it enough? We don’t really cover the nuances of Death Guard on the show but you can expect that and some army lists for several factions coming next week!

FTN Episode 483 – Tyranids Incoming! How Nasty Are They?
Sep 06, 2023
How much can the first codex of the new edition tell us about where the game is going? I think we need more data. The Tyranids book brings us a lot of detachments, new units and new abilities. It stacks up really well against a lot of what we see out there in the field right now. Triple Norn Emissaries might be a real thing.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

We cover the new units currently up for preorder and spend a lot time on the Emissary itself. It’s pretty nice with the ability to shrug off damage and put a lot of OC right where you want it.
We don’t get too much into the strategy of Tyranids with this show but we do ooh and ahh over some cool abilities and what sort of power opponents might expect to see right out of the game.
OC and Battleshock are becoming more and more of a thing as the game develops. I like to see this. A meaningful morale mechanic and units being able to compete for points is an excellent additional layer or two of balance.

The Hobby segment is about how to paint Tyranids for folks not experienced with the faction. Paul went with a Leviathan like scene. Primed Grey Seer, heavy drybrushed White Scar all over, applied a very thin downed Vulpous Pink to the body, then purple for the hard exoskeleton bits. For the Claws, Rhinox Hide based, shaded with thin downed Basilicum Grey, highlighted with Doom Bull Brown then a final highlight of Deathclaw Brown. Deathclaw is what Paul couldn’t think of during the show. Let us know what works for you! We have some t-shirts a really cool sticker up for sale to celebrate us being nine years deep into this show.

FTN Episode 482 – Making The Most Against Aeldari. Is it Possible?
Aug 20, 2023
We are re back! All of us can feel that sinking feeling when we line up against Aeldari but never fear. There is hope! Terrain, Tactics, Good Luck, Good Draws, it can all help. The faction is tough but it is far from unbeatable. We talk about some of the things that’s been working for us.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.
We also started a Patreon for the FTN show. This will help us a lot in the form of being able to hire an editor and a few other things. If it is anywhere within your ability to support us on that platform please consider doing so. The link is right here.
We welcome Adam back from commenting on the WTC that recently happened in Europe. We kick the show off talking about an Astra Militarum list Paul took recently. The list preformed really well. It had a Tank Commander with a Demolisher cannon, 2 Wyverns, 2 Manticores, 2 Earth Shaker Carriges, 3 scout sentinels and 3 Hell Hounds. It sort of seemed weird not taking Lord Mecharius but Ursla was all this list needed to rock the house.
We discuss the finer points of things to consider when forming your anti Aeldari strategy. We certainly aren’t singling Aeldari players out by any stretch but they are the most winning faction in the field right now and a lot of players are flocking to them if they weren’t players of the faction before. Aeldari are awesome, I love the faction as well. Its just a nice opportunity to take a deeper look at what ‘can be done.’
In part 2 we talk about Yncarne management. Wowzers, this model can create quite the problem for some players.

The Hobby segment is about how to paint Tyranids for folks not experienced with the faction. Paul went with a Leviathan like scene. Primed Grey Seer, heavy drybrushed White Scar all over, applied a very thin downed Vulpous Pink to the body, then purple for the hard exoskeleton bits. For the Claws, Rhinox Hide based, shaded with thin downed Basilicum Grey, highlighted with Doom Bull Brown then a final highlight of Deathclaw Brown. Deathclaw is what Paul couldn’t think of during the show. Let us know what works for you! We have some t-shirts a really cool sticker up for sale to celebrate us being nine years deep into this show. Check them out here.

FTN Episode 481 – Is Base Size Important? Yes, It Is.
Aug 12, 2023
We are re back! Red, Tanya and Paul jibber jabber about recent tournaments, Ork lists and base sizes. Tanya pulled down best painted, player’s choice, at an event recently and Paul is back from the ATC and GenCon.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

Tanya opens the show talking about her recent tournament experience. She took her an amazingly painted army out for a spin. The list was unconventional but she got a few wins and brought home some hardware.
Paul and the Wrong Way Kids had a blast at the most recent ATC but they didn’t do near as well as she did… ha. That’s ok. The event was extremely fun and it’s exciting to play as part of a team. You win and lose as a group. Spending time with your best buds playing 40k is a great way to spend a weekend away.
We do talk about base sizes and how these types of things are becoming more and more of how to play the game in an expected way against opponents. In home games you can make a lot of allowances and all that but when you travel and play against people you might not know the ‘social contract’ and tournament rules/restrictions matter a lot.

FTN Episode 480 – ATC Lead Up and LSO Recap – We’re Talking Tournaments
Jul 31, 2023
We are re back! Season 2 is in motion and we hear from Red and his recap of going 5-1 with World Eaters of all things at the LSO the weekend before. We talk a little bit about the America Team Championship as well. That event was last weekend but we recorded this before and it’s a bit of a lead up.

Aeldari continue to dominate the win rates and tournament wins week after week. I am actually cool with factions and lists being powerful but is this too much? If you could tweak anything about the Aeldari and how they work now what would you choose? Fate Dice certainly seem to be a culprit.
We welcome some new patrons on our brand new Patreon and it is amazing to see folks be a part of the show and help it keep going.

FTN Episode 479 – Getting to Know The New 40k – Season 2 Starts NOW!
Jul 20, 2023
We’re back! Season 2 starts officially with this episode. The whole gang is back together and we’re getting our heads around the New40k. It is the wild west out there right now with a couple of incredibly dominant lists getting all the attention.

Aeldari and Genestealer cults will be what everyone else is talking about – with good reason – they are incredibly strong right now. On this show… we talk about other stuff, ha! We are sharing our initial thoughts as we get our first games in and start to settle into army lists we like. Over the last couple of days my Knights have been absolutely annihilated by Aeldari…

FTN Episode 478 – Towering Might Be The Best Keyword In 10th
Jul 01, 2023
It’s just Paul and Adam this week. We use the time to talk about Towering in the back half of the show and just what an impact the big toys are making on the game right now. Is this too much or just something we need to adjust to as the edition matures?
Hey folks,

We have seen a few tournament results from the first few events in 10th and wow… Knights and Wraith Knights are making a big impact. Maybe it’s Fate Dice. Maybe its Towering. Maybe it is just folks getting used to the new rules set. Right now everyone is familiar enough with the game but there are still a few little twists and turns that work differently than they used to.
We welcome some new patrons on our brand new Patreon and it is amazing to see folks be a part of the show and help it keep going.

FTN Episode 477 – Don’t Get Gotten By Deep Strikes – Leviathan Has New Rules
Jun 28, 2023
Revenge of the 5th Vacation episode. This new edition of Warhammer is shaping up to be really nice. We are seeing Games Workshop’s vision for how they want to layer the game between the base game that comes in the box and the organized play events.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year. It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

Everyone is sort of waiting on the ‘day one FAQ’ but do we honestly need that sort of thing? We’ve gotten several games in with the new rules and once you look at the core game and then merge it with the Leviathan Mission leaflet that comes with the box set you’re set up for a ton of fun games with a LOT replay-ability. I got the chance to demo a ton of games over the course of the last weekend and the game was extremely easy to explain and potential new players were rolling dice almost immediately.

Vacation Episode Episode IV a new hope for 40k. We run down the new Stratagems with the full crew. We’re all very excited for what the new 40k brings and can’t wait to get models on the table. We’ve played a few games with what we know so far and it’s fun!

I kinda feel like Grenades is meant to replace a unit’s shooting attack and we don’t mention that in the show because it doesn’t say that in the book. It’s hard for us to determine the intent with no sort of FAQ or commentary at the time of recording but hey.. we just read it like we read it. In the right situation this seems strong.

FTN Episode 473 – Vacation Tapes Entry 1 and Dan Abnett Interview
Apr 16, 2023
Its been a bit and I had to remember how to do this. Ha! Thanks for your patience with us while we’re on vacation. In this episode we talk a little bit about the 10th edition confirmations we’ve had on the Warhammer Community site and a wonderful interview with the legendary Dan Abnett.

The floodgates are open for what we’re seeing come through for 10th. We don’t know ‘when’ or ‘how’ but we are definitely starting to get excited for the next edition of Warhammr 40,000.
In this episode we gush over the Dante and Lion releases. These models are gorgeous.
In the middle of the episode Paul sits down with Dan Abnett to talk a bit about Marvel comics and his work on the most recent release from the Siege of Terra series. As always, Dan’s excitement for the stories comes beaming through. We hope you enjoy it!

Believe me when I say this is not goodbye. We love what we do and the team is anxious to get into season 2 of the FTN show but we are going to take a short break. Vacation time… We’re already planning the vacation vlogs or whatever we end up calling them. It might be paint and chats or silly live streams or something. Just something to bridge the gap over the next short while to recharge the batteries. Please please please don’t hesitate to hit us up on the socials. I completely understand we’re a weekly show and I am going to miss the back and forth. If you’re in the same boat please know the invitation to hit me up on twitter or instagram or the facebook page is sincere.
We reminisce about how we all came together in this incarnation of the show and what it means to us but not in the ‘final’ way because believe me when and if that day ever comes there will be a LOT of other people to thank – including my wife and kids for their support over the years. The group is already missing getting together every week and we aren’t even sure on what we’ll do with our time next week, ha!
We talk about Adepticon coming up, hot dogs and pizza. The culture of the event venues is so important and a huge part of what we’ve come to enjoy from these experiences.
Red talks about a recent win at a local tournament with his World Eaters. Sincerely, no matter how long or how many times you’ve listened to the show it means so much to us. We absolutely will be back in a couple/few weeks with more content from the cast and a fresh start on some other projects. Keep your eyes and ears peeled.

FTN Episode 471 – Will You Be Getting The New Marines? Not Everyone Thinks So.
Feb 25, 2023
The memes of these Desolation Marines have been outstanding. I’m sure we’ll continue to see them pop up but that might change a little once hobbyist get them in their hands and have the opportunity to paint them something other that Ultramarines Blue. We’ll no doubt see head swaps and custom bits and all that jazz. The absolute winner for me is the new Brutalis Dreadnought. It’s a beast!
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
These new marines have been all sorts of up in arms. Some folks don’t know how they even made it past the design phase. Some folks are scratching their head trying to figure out how they will make it into army lists. Some folks are just asking why? To me, a lot of those questions will get answered in time as players choose to give them a shot and start to layer on the best Chapter Tactics for them. There are other things in this box too though…
I will absolutely be looking to play with the Brutalis Dreadnought. It has all the sorts of things that makes my Blood Angel heart sing. The claw variant is the one that jumps out to me but you can make a case for any of the configuration. I am also starting with the multi melta hip guns. I plan be getting up close and personal.
At the back of the show we revisit the topic of not showing up to the table beaten. Approach every game like a winnable game and with that mindset you will absolutely win more games.
Adam is playing in the Cherokee Open over the weekend and bringing Grey Knights. How will he do? Find out next week, ha!

FTN Episode 470 – More Guard Is On The Way!
Feb 18, 2023
We talk briefly about the new AM stuff hitting the pre-order sites this weekend. I made sure to be quick on the draw to get the Rough Riders in my cart after I saw how quick the Kasrkin went last week. I hope everyone gets what they are looking for. We also talk about – how to maximize your Blood Tithe Points. Everyone wants to see Angron more than once.
Hey all,

BTP management seems like it will be critical to the success of the World Eaters. We talk a little bit about units to include in your force that are, of course, good but also help your rate of Blood Tithe Point generation. Chaos Spawn and Helbrutes might be on the table a lot more in this faction than with regular CSM or Thousand Sons.
It seems like the pre-orders from last week sold out SUPER quick. We know that will be the case with the limited edition Black Library books. May the odds be forever in your favor if you’re trying to get one.
We don’t talk specifically about the BL things coming out this week on the show but this series is something near and dear to all of our hearts.
Adam is traveling around North America at the moment and we get to hear about some of his travels.

FTN Episode 469 – The Whole Crew Is Back – LVO 2023 Recap
Feb 11, 2023
Yay! Everyone is back on the show this week after travel, recovery, etc. We recap the LVO 2023 and come at it from a content creator perspective and reflect on the good time that it is. At the end of the show we talk a little about the design of the World Eaters Codex.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
We kick back and relax this show. Recapping the LVO 2023 and how good it was to hang out with each other and see listeners and Warhammer fans from all around the world.
At the end of the show we talk about the design of the World Eaters codex and how there may be some real intentional things here and how maybe it’s a look at what we can expect from specialized codexes in the future? Who is to say?
It’s nice to have everyone back and it was even cooler getting to meet folks in person. That is the first time that a couple of us had met face to face. That’s hard to fathom as we hang out and talk every week…. Ha. On site it was cool to reflect that it doesn’t feel like it’s been forever since we’ve seen each other. I’m really glad technology does bring us together.
Back to 40k… A lot more armies are going to get up close and personal. Does that mean shooting will take a back seat? Doubtful. Custodes are coming back in a huge way from what we’ve seen from tournament reports and faction choices. How nice it must be to travel with a small army box, lol.

FTN Episode 468 – World Eaters Will Take a Huge Bite Out of The Meta
Feb 04, 2023
Eightbound will be the story of this codex at the moment. They are positioned to get up close and personal with a lot of armies. Some won’t be able to handle it. This is good though… if the game is too shooty its one dimensional. Will this codex push it too far the other way?
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
We kick the show off talking about Blood Tithe Points – the BTPs are an interesting mechanic that gives you options. Do you save for a rainy day or do you burn them as soon as you get them? You can basically spend them as soon as you get them and they seem to come to you quite plentifully. Khorne cares not from where the blood flows. You can almost create your army in a way that funnels BTPs to yourself.
The big stand outs in the Codex are the Eightbound. They will shine pound for pound more than terminators, I think. Terminators are still great though! We might find ourselves in a world where that extra save really matters over the aggressiveness of the Eightbound but I don’t think we’re there yet.
This army doesn’t have any jump packs but it is still FAST. There are pre-game moves and extra movement bonuses and ways to improve charge rolls and all the good stuff you might expect from an army that is renowned for doing one thing well – getting into combat.
It feels ‘nice’ in a way that makes sense but not overly pushed or forced into the codex. You can look at the models, look at the lore and just kinda smile and nod – that’s a hallmark of good design.

FTN Episode 467 – Send In The Second Wave – Of Astra Militarum
Jan 21, 2023
I would have posted something about preordering Rogal Dorn but I don’t want to get anyone excited about a Primarch. I do want to get folks excited about these tanks through! All sorts of good Astra Militarum stuff goes up for pre-order this weekend. Tread Heads rejoice.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
We do talk about the stuff going up for order today on the show and we also talk about what we’ll all be doing at the Las Vegas Open. Links to all the streams can be found here. Most of us from the show will be helping out with one stream or another but have no fear.. we’ll make sure Red comes on when he can to chat. ha!
The end of the ITC season draws nigh… Who will take the top slot? This is one of the first years we have so many folks from outside of the US to take the whole thing. Warhammer has and will also be international but it is so cool to see just how connected the world is.
Back to the tank… The Rogal Dorn goes together like a dream. A nice feature is that you don’t have to commit to any of the weapon options. If you so choose you can keep the options open and just slot on your weapons with a little blue tac or a magnet to basically future proof your big guns.
I’m a big fan of whatever gives you the highest rate of fire. There are tons of options and this thing comes with the ability to adapt to any tabletop situation. Everyone is executed about the potential of what Marines might bring to the table. What will be the best load out to deal with them?

FTN Episode 466 – Horus is Back With A Brand New Set of Legs – S and T 10!
Jan 16, 2023
This episode is largely about one of the biggest models to hit the table in a long time. Horus, the Man, the Myth, the Legend, the Ascended. We’ve seen the rules in the main Liber book but the model is an all together different thing to behold. If you play Sons of Horus this is a must have.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Sometime you just want to invest a 3rd or more of your points into one model and I’m okay with that. The Horus Heresy setting is one full of myth, destruction, despair and heroic moments. The namesake of the whole thing is a guy named Horus and his unprecedented betrayal of the leader of the human race.
There are a few books on the subject and if you aren’t familiar with them we highly suggest you check them out. We’ll wait while you do. To get the full appreciation for this character you do want to start at the beginning.
Horus Ascended is an amazing model. It can be intimidating to think about putting it together and painting it but don’t let that stop you. You start like any other project and do it bit by bit, one step at a time. Clean the model, assemble the model to a stage you’re comfortable with and then prime. Prime lightly, my friends, you don’t want to lose any of this spectacular detail.
We go over the rules for this guy while talking about what he means to the overall landscape of this entire game.

FTN Episode 465 – The Balance Data Slate Kicking This Year Off With A Bang
Jan 07, 2023
Wow – er body gets free wargear. Well, almost everyone. The Balance Data Slate is set to take the meta by storm as soon as it is adopted by the crowd at large. There are a few big tournaments coming up soon that may put the breaks on it due to it getting released near their rules/army cut off dates.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Due to some leaks there was quite a bit of hysteria around what might have been with the points adjustments but now the news is out and in people’s hands they can see it’s really not so bad.
Adam walks us through a lot of the changes from a purely competitive standpoint. IE, the things that might matter the most to you if you’re making a matched play list and heading to a tournament soon.
This will absolutely shake up the meta a little bit. I say a little bit because I don’t think this really changes the factions people have been playing recently, if they weren’t just fair weather fans. It will certainly change what some of them take in the faction but nothing that wholesale warps someone’s collection.
Flamers got a massive change but I seriously doubt it will change the amount people take or the frequency that you see them. You’ll still need to prepare for them. Marines… Marine player rejoice. You have a LOT more options in your list now. I’m getting players all around the world writing in saying how much fun they are having writing new Marine lists on the back of these changes. But what no one knows yet – will it actually matter? Will we see Marines start to circulate in the top tables?

FTN Episode 464 – What a Year – Let’s Wrap it Up
Dec 31, 2022
We slide our way to the end of the year and ease on in to 2023 with this episode. We definitely let Adam gush over the Azrael leaks but also spend a brief amount of time reminiscing about the figures we painted this year while look forward to hanging out with each other just after the New Year rings. Thanks for listening.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
2022 is coming to a close. I know everyone has challenges each and every year but we sincerely hope yours have been manageable. The New Year means different things to different people and as I get older sometimes it feels like ‘just another day’ but I try to look at this time as an opportunity to reflect on positive things and be hopeful about what the future holds.
I had an awesome time being a part of the warhammer community this year. We talk about it on the show but 2022 is the first year in three years where the players got to ‘get back out’ in full force if they felt called to do so. Tournaments and games were in full force all over the globe. We’ve seen player bases thrive in all areas of the globe.
We’ve even heard news of full on actual celebrities playing this game and loving the hobby. Wow… I think we all wanted this to happen for a long time but no one knew how or when it was going to work. I’m extremely hopeful for the future.
Oh… and another Chapter Master has stormed across the Rubicon. We talk about that too. Ha!

FTN Episode 463 – Do The Models Play Like You Expect?
Dec 24, 2022
We have a chill talk about if we think the way the models play match what we expect from the lore. This is very much a finger the the air type conversation but was fun to have. We compare 40k to Sigmar a bit as well. We’re winding the year down and looking forward to the next one.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Do the rules match the lore? It certainly seems like they try. We don’t talk about the ‘power level’ really but more keep the conversation to – do we think the rules for the model line up pretty well to the way the model looks or what we have come to expect to what has been written about the model.
We have brief bit where we also discuss if our own perceptions or biases filter through and if we’ve invented some of this along the way in our heads. We spend so much time fantasizing about 40k that is a huge possibility.
Its kind of a fun talk as we wrap up this year and look forward to the next one. One more episode this year! Do you bring any bias to the way you think a model should preform to the way it actually does or how you feel the writers have interpreted it.
We don’t talk about how we might have been wrong about that really on this show but it’s a fun exersize to think about for future shows for sure.

FTN Episode 462 – Angron Is A Beast. Can He Survive The Meta?
Dec 18, 2022
Talk about the season of the Red? He finally makes it back from the field to be on the show and we celebrate by talking about Angron. The Primarch, the myth, the legend. People are already decrying the fact that they don’t think he is tough enough. I argue, he is more than tough enough.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Red is back. Yay! This series of releases has been right up his alley even more than the rest of the folks on the show so we’re happy his schedule allows him to join us.
A lot of the show is talking about Angron.
He’s an absolute beast with all the destructive power you can ever ask for but folks are already thinking he’s going to live on the shelf and not tip the scales of the meta at all.
We argue that maybe… just maybe.. not matter how many points he is he acts as a fire magnet for the rest of you army. This means that sure, he might take a dirt nap but the rest of your army – tons of it – will make it all the way across the field to mix it up with the opponent. 40k is about trading. Trade up! Your primarch for their entire army. Angron would want it that way.

FTN Episode 461 – Astra Militarum Army List Talk and Pax Unplugged Recap
Dec 10, 2022
Adam got to take the new guard for a spin and we talk about his list- Even though it is Cadian and Catachan, ha! Its still early days as some of the new models aren’t out yet and we don’t know when that’s happening but it is cool to get some of the new mechanics on the table. We also talk about Pax Unplugged and give a recap of the Games Workshop presence there.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
If you’re looking to get hobby stuff for folks you might be gifting to over this holiday season please please please check out our sponsor Discount Games. They have a great selection and awesome customer service.
It’s hard not to take Born Soldiers as your army trait for the new Astra Militarum and that’s where Adam starts as well. The automatic wound on 6’s to hit seems pretty punishing when combined to the staggering rate of fire for most of this army.
The army seemed to preform well against one of the meta’s big contenders – Daemons. That is sort of what we might expect since volume of fire is what it takes to pound through the Daemonic Save. It sounds like he comes up with a cool tip for Ogryn as well. Tune in!
Paul demoed Blood Bowl over the past weekend and had a blast. Its so cool showing this game to folks who haven’t heard of or seen it before. The game has truly stood the test of time and not lost one bit of it’s charm. Pax Unplugged is much more of a board game show than it is a tabletop mini convention but there is a ton of overlap between the fans.

FTN Episode 460 – Is Astra Militarum Boom or Bust?
Dec 05, 2022
A large part of this show is about Lord Solar Leontus. We believe he will be in a lot of lists and if you aren’t taking him you really need to ask yourself why. There are lots of other compelling options in the book but it starts with this guy.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
We still don’t know when the new Astra Militarum Codex will be out in the wild and available to everyone OR when the hot new models will hit the shelves. Doesn’t stop us from talking about it… We are all Guard players on the show.
Lord Solar and Rough Riders are getting a lot of press right now and rightly so. They are heavy hitting impact pieces that are sure to flood the tables once folks have the opportunity to buy them. Who knew the IG had so many horses?
With 5-600 points wrapped up in cavalry you will still have a ton of points left over for tanks. I haven’t gone too deep down the rabbit hole creating a list yet because since we don’t know release dates and don’t have an FAQ yet (although I don’t think the book lends itself to any big changes). I’m sort of still in the ‘drool’ phase looking at all the new units and options. Trying to figure out how I’m going to convert everything to look like it’s Catachan.
Once again I want to apologize for getting the show out late. The convention schedule really threw me off. Pax Unplugged was a blast! I hope I get the opportunity to go again next year.

FTN Episode 459 – Grand Narrative Lead Up AND Wrap Up – Was it Awesome?
Nov 24, 2022
Very sorry for the double episode in one download. I hope it doesn’t mess up your data plan. Last week was so jammed up with 40k goodness this had a delay. We leads up to and talk about how the Grand Narrative was and also the 40k and Age of Sigmar US Open Series Finale.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Wow! In the first part of the episode we kick it off talking about how this will be two episodes in one. That is totally my fault (Paul) and I apologize. The Grand Narrative took up a ton of well deserved time. In this episode we tack on this week’s content to the episode we recorded the week before. Thanks in advance for the understanding.
Please check out the Twitch stream replays for all the amazing live and pre-recorded coverage. We talk to players, cos players and tournament attendees and it is awesome.
Our very own Red Powell got to play in the Grand Narrative and in this episode we talk about his expectations leading up to it and his feelings after the fact. Spoiler Alert – it’s awesome.
The 40k and Age of Sigmar finale for this event turned out to be nail biters. Three of the Four events went to Sudden Death rematches where the participants got to play each other three times to decide who took the crown. None of us expected that and it was incredibly cool to watch. You get to hear about here.

FTN Episode 458 – Astra Militarum Codex First Looks – Wow! Big Guns Never Tire
Nov 13, 2022
There is no easy way to put this – you’ve been conscripted into the Guard, Soldier. This book changes a LOT about what we knew before but still manages to stay familiar. We might see a different look, visually, to what we’ve seen on tables past but some generals might not like mixing up Regiments. The book is modernized and brings power to the faction.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Games Workshop is not afraid to mix things up when it comes to core factions. I’m still trying to process it a bit but I do like the idea of being able to choose to mix in some different visual themes on the tabletop and that be ‘ok.’
Units in the book received a much needed power adjustment to bring it into modern standards. We highlight a couple of core things about the Blast rule later in the show too. What does this keyword actually bring to the AM now? Is it a liability? Are you paying points for it or is it just something thematically tossed on to the weapons that look blasty? How generals rationalize this will be something to examine as players get reps in with the book.
There are big changes to the Psychic Powers and these seem cool. I can see a lot of lists packing in a psycher now or at least taking a really spicy relic that might help protect against the opponents scoring secondary points.
The epic Rogal Dorn tank is good, really good. There are ways to make it and the Super Heavy tanks an Officer. I’m not sure if this just sounds good or if it will really be a force multiplier. These vehicles already have giant targets on their backs. Is investing more points into them the thing to do? I hope so…

FTN Episode 457 – The Heresy is Turning Gold – and BLOOD ANGELS TAKE KANSAS CITY!
Nov 05, 2022
The Libre Imperium is up for pre-order this week for the Horus Heresy game world. This book adds 4 new playable factions back to the game for this edition. The book looks and feels elegant with tons of flavor ready to hit the tabletop.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
We talk a bit about the new Horus Heresy book in the front part of the show. If you haven’t checked out the Horus Heresy game yet you really should if you have a craving for ‘historical’ battles. There is a gritty feel to the entire game that feels both nostalgic and new at the same time.
After that we just have to talk about Blood Angels taking the top spot at the Games Workshop US Open event in Kansas City MO last weekend. Zaak K put on a clinic with a fresh army list beating out Mani C in the finals. Zaak will no doubt be giving inspiration to a whole new raft of Blood Angel players. Mani also showed the world exactly what the Thousand Sons are capable of when paired with powerful new daemon allies.
After the break we do a little Astra Militarum wish listing. We know the codex is just around the corner and since we’re all Guard players it is hard not to have our eyes focused on that.
Is there anything you’re hoping for as a player or possible opponent? All the new artillery has me licking my chops. I’ve always enjoyed painting tanks and armor pieces.

FTN Episode 456 – Warhammer Tournaments All Over the World! Is the Meta Healthy?
Nov 01, 2022
There has been a lot of chatter on the internet on how some folks don’t think the meta is healthy, balanced or diverse enough. That’s really subjective and I don’t want to say tournaments, traveling or organized play is for everyone but I can tell you there is a WIDE variety of what people are having success with out there.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
This episode is a little late but please go check out the coverage from the Kansas City Open Event from games workshop on the Warhammer TV Twitch page. TONS of interesting games to showcase.
Some of you know that Adam and I do a show on the FLGN where we talk about tournament meta and attendance. Attendance is going up and up and the diversity of the field is on the same trajectory. The faction make up is all over the map. It’s great!
Of course this way to enjoy the game isn’t right for everyone. This leads us to the question of – what makes someone a Warhammer fan.
We break it down to the smallest part. Any and all enjoyment from any bit of Warhammer from any sort of property – comics, games, an old codex, a one off game or whatever, can make you a fan of Warhammer and that’s ok!

FTN Episode 455 – Did The Balance Dataslate Help Your Game?
Oct 23, 2022
The Balance Dataslate has a few people shaking their heads and expecting more. Is that justified? Is the game in such a good spot right now that dramatic updates aren’t needed? Should the codexes routinely holding down the bottom spots at events be getting more attention and better buffs? We talk about it.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
The Balance Dataslate has a lot of players feeling like it let them down. Maybe the routine updates the game is getting is setting some unrealistic expectations. Should we be wanting our armies to go through quarterly revisions? It’s like sometimes we forget that we have to hobby around and towards these changes.
With that said it is fair for players to think these slates are coming from a place that sees and hears their concerns. This one doesn’t seem like it fits that bill for them. I argue on the show that the game is in such a good place that these little nudges might be all the game ‘really’ needs or wants to keep healthy. I can tell you without a doubt that what people are bringing to events right now is extremely diverse at the moment. We have increasingly higher numbers of factions you didn’t see anywhere near podiums six months ago.
That is just one stat though… the designers keeping this game as exciting as we want it to be are looking at multiple things like win rate, feedback, attendance and likely a host of other things.
Adam mentions that we’ll look back on this time as some of the best of this edition and I kinda feel like a lot of players feel that way too as record setting attendance is happening all over the world.

FTN Episode 454 – All Aboard(ing action) For Preview Reactions
Oct 16, 2022
The Preview last week gave us our first tastes of new Astra Militarum stuff and I personally didn’t realize how thirst I was. Yum. Gimme some of that new Guard stuff ASAP.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
There is something pretty satisfying about painting Astra Militarum tanks and weapons platforms. I continuously make pew pew and boom boom noises with every brush stroke. These new model reveals have me jazzed, if you couldn’t tell.
Every single member of this podcast plays Guard to some capacity. The army lends itself to many styles of play and basically every single one of us is on the edge of our seats with anticipation.
We get our hands on the models from the latest Kill Team set – Shadow Vaults which GW has generously provided to us for review and first looks. Wow. With the new Kill Team sets the preview also announced new ways to play with your 40k figs. I don’t get tired of that!
We recap the Chicago Open by Games Workshop and give a little details about the Harlequins list that won along with the runner up – Emperor’s Children of all things. Chaos is back, baby!

FTN Episode 453 – Should You Buy The Warhammer 40k Magic Decks?
Oct 11, 2022
The answer is pretty simple. If you like Magic The Gathering and Warhammer then of course you should! The decks are well designed and seem like a hoot to play. Pleasant Kenobi joins us to talk about it from someone who knows both of the games very well.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
When I saw these decks teased it was an automatic buy for me. When I found out they were actually good – ohh heck yeah. These are getting hard to find at MSPR at the moment so you want to make sure and pick them up soon if you expect to want them in the future.
Later in the show after talking with Vincent the rest of us get a little silly and try our best not to give spoilers on the latest book. We don’t so its a safe listen.
We talk about the upcoming US Open series events as well.
About halfway through the show we figured out it was October – where has the year gone? Later this month we’ll smash out some Orktober content.

FTN Episode 452 – Back to Basics – How To Keep Focused On The Score
Oct 01, 2022
Yep. We keep track of these things around here. Our eyes are on the prize. The Scoreboard doesn’t lie. You get the drift. When all else fails and you feel outmatched at the table its time to control what you can control.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
We lead off with a message about keeping people focused on the scoreboard. We lose the thread a little bit when we start talking about terrain but that just goes to illustrate how important terrain is. If you haven’t invented or invested in it then you really owe it to yourself. We’re at a point in the game and the lethalness of each army where it is vital that you give yourself and your opponents the best chance at having a good time.
We find the thread again in part two where we talk about how to hang onto those points and recognize when you might be falling behind too fast to keep the game tight.
It may seem risky but sometimes you do have to sacrifice units – giving them a one way ticket to deadsville – just to stay ahead or close on the scoreboard. If you can force a few rounds where your opponent only gets 4 points for Primary you are giving yourself a huge advantage even if they have a strong secondary game – like Necron players.
Each release has us going back to the drawing board but that is pretty much how the game works. Each time we rock up to the table we don’t exactly know what our opponents have in store for us. We have an educated guess about what we can expect in certain ratios – like 50% assault and 50% shooty or whatever but what each and every opponents will do is present us with a set of challenges. In some instances they are gonna have us beat at list design so what comes next? You have to get super focused on what you can accomplish.

FTN Episode 451 – Are The Leagues of Votann Public Enemy Number 1?
Sep 24, 2022
It sure seems like folks are legitimately up in arms about the power level of the Leagues of Votann or they are just piling on the internet fury. We don’t know at this point. In situations like this I don’t get pulled into the hype but instead look deep into my favorite Codexes and figure out what can I do?
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
You can clearly see the Leagues of Votann are going to rocket out of their corner with both fists flying. This codex will be strong. There is no denying that. Right now the vocal crowd on the internet think it’s too much. Is that true? Has their been enough time between the previews and now for people to start finding things in their Codexes to give them a fighting chance?
That remains to be seen. Right now folks are using their ‘old standard’ lists to try and combat something totally new. When in the history of ever has that actually worked? Not often and you’re more lucky if that’s happened at all.
We talk a little bit about that and some alternative ways to enjoy the game if the ‘Competitive’ side of things is a little exhausting or bad for you right now. That’s completely valid. Thankfully there are tons of supported ways of playing this game right now and it’s something we can’t talk about enough. We all love this hobby. Its cool to take a step back every now and then and take a deep breath.
Later in the show we talk about getting up and running with a Necromuda campaign and then later than that we close the show out talking with our second favorite Canadian Skari from the SkaredCast. He is always a pleasure. He brings some insights on Crusade play to the show.

FTN Episde 450 – Leagues of Votann Reveals! Are They Brutal?
Sep 17, 2022
What a banger we get to do for Episode 450.. The Leagues of Votann reveals are pretty exciting. Many are claiming these will instantly slot in as one of the most powerful armies in the game. Is it all hype? Come check it out.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
The Leagues are gonna be tough! They have an amazing amount of new rules and weapon types the game has never seen. Are they the best? That’s such a hard question. They are certainly going to bust out of the gate as heavy hitters. The army has powerful shooting and durability without compromising anything in the close combat department.
The League’s powerful Judgement mechanic takes a little bit of the dice rolling out of the equation. This smooths out variance by a TON!
Everything in the starter box is playable and good. You will not regret picking it up. You will use every single model on the table. Not because there aren’t a ton of kits out for this faction yet.. it’s because everything has functional rules and abilities for the tabletop.
The Pioneers are a stand out choice. For not a ton of points you get a massive amount of utility.

FTN Episode 449 – Convention ReCaps – NoVA Is a Blast!
Sep 10, 2022
After an action packed weekend we’re back to our normal schedule. We talk a little about the NOVA Open and the incredible hobby on display that weekend. The Necrons took the crown and it’s hard to even consider them being stopped at this point. The back half of the show has us asking ‘what makes a Codex good?’ What are your thoughts on that?
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
It’s just Tanya, Adam and Paul this week. Red should be returning next week. We know we’ve been missing some Chaos hot takes without him.
Paul hit Dragon Con in ATL and the NOVA Open in DC last weekend. It was a whirlwind but still amazing on all counts. The armies on display at NOVA might have been better pound for pound than you see at any tournament anywhere in the world.
Later in the episode we ask ‘What makes a Codex good?’ Like how do you judge is the book is awesome and what is your criteria? Is one good list enough? Is a unit to underpin your entire army list all you need? Do you need 4 or 5 ways to build a competitive list to tickle your fancy?
I definitely like to see books with several build options and archetypes available before I call a Codex great. With that said I know I’ve certainly been more than satisfied as long as I could play my faction and win more games than I lost and occasionally take hope a top prize at an event.

FTN Episode 448 – The Daemons Are Unleashed! Are You Scared?
Sep 06, 2022
Not one but TWO community spotlight segments this week where we talk to two amazing Daemon faction specialist. It is great to sit down and hear their thoughts on one of the most unique factions any game has ever seen.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Extremely sorry for the late release of this episode but travel got in the way. Nurgle Snurgle and Scott LaFountain join us to talk about their hot takes on the pre-release information about Chaos Daemons.
Nurgle Snurgle is up first in the show with Paul and Tanya to talk about how she’s been approaching the faction to this point and what shes looking forward to once she has the book in her hands.
Adam and I gibber jabber in the in between segments.
Next up in Scott LaFountain who you might remember from placing highly in mega events using the previous version of the Daemons. We see what he’s thinking about going forward.

FTN Episode 447 – Chaos Daemons First Look for 9th Edition!
Aug 28, 2022
The Daemons will be different but that’s okay right.. Especially if they get tons of upgrades and army wide Warp abilities to use every turn. I don’t think any unit gets what you might call a downgrade outside of overall squad size. Almost everything in this book has some utility that Chaos Daemon Generals might be looking for to give them the claw up on the battlefield.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
The next big 40k event we have coming up in the NOVA Open. You definitely want to check out our coverage in a couple of weeks. There will be some top 40k play and the smooth stylings of Paul and Nick.
We kick the show off talking about Horus Hersey and specifically the Mechanicum vs World Eaters from a game Paul played over the weekend The World Eaters had some serious lop sided rolls so the outcome wasn’t totally their fault. The Mechanicum has some tricks for sure but might struggled due to their lower Init score.
The Daemon players will have to come to grips with the fact their basic troop squad is listed to a squad size of 10 now but that is about the only ‘huge’ downgrade. Everything else in the book is jammed packed with potential and there are some spicy things for every one of the factions. If you were a fan of a daemon faction before you will still be.
The Warp Storm is basically another set of free Command Point like abilities that effect your entire army based on the faction you use them for. This will seem absolutely back breaking to opponents on some turns.

FTN Episode 446 – What Happens When Your Faction Doesn’t Look As Cool As You Want?
Aug 21, 2022
Games Workshop is best mini maker in the world, no doubt about that. We get super technical and ask a few questions about the models we’ve seen so far from the World Eaters and the League of Votann. Are they doing it for you?

FTN Episode 445 – The Horus Heresy Gets BIGGER! – Mechanicum Up For Order
Aug 13, 2022
One of the coolest things about the Heresy is the ability to play whatever force you want for whatever side you want. This edition has just been Marine on Marine so far but NOT ANYMORE! The Liber Mechanicum is up for order today and we give a little teaser for it.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Back on track with an on time release this week. We start by talking a little bit about GenCon and how cool it is to be around all of those games. Of course we talk about Games Workshop’s presence there and all the cool things you can do over the course of the weekend with all the Warhammer stuff.
If you have done Kill Team Live yet I fully endorse you making time for it if you’re ever presented with the opportunity to do so. It’s an immersive experience and tons of fun. If you’re a Warhammer+ Subscriber it’s one of the things you can do for FREE too.
I feel like I’ve used a lot of capslock in this post.. Sometimes you just gotta. In the second part of the show we talk about stress painting – or event driven painting as the case may be. Whatever it takes to get those battle ready figures on the table.
I’ve had some models on my desk for a LONG time and through some encouragement from recording this show I’m back to painting them. It’s easy to get stuck at the ‘my models look like crap stage’ but remember everyone gets there and having confidence in yourself and your process is critical to get over this hump. One brush stroke at a time.

FTN Episode 443 – Starting a 40k Team and How To Beat The Necron Menance
Jul 31, 2022
Clubs and Teams are becoming more poplar in our hobby. This is great! We talk about how to get one started and some of the characteristics you might look for when getting it off the ground or joining an existing one. After that we talk about how to stop the Necron menace. They score points like few others.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
As you know the Necrons are incredibly strong right now and a lot of that has to do with how effectively they score points during the round. Its incredibly hard to stop them and for the uninformed player it may seem like there is nothing you can do. We break that down a little.
At the end of the show we talk about getting out of a hobby slump.
All these topics are a lot harder than it sounds like they should be but we hope to demystify them just a tad. What are some of your experiences?

FTN Episode 442 – American Team Tournament Recap and Breaking Heresy Lore
Jul 23, 2022
A couple of us were at one of the largest tournaments in the world this past weekend and we give a recap of the event and our performance there. Not too shabby…. After the break we talk about some Horus Heresy color schemes and how to go your own way in established lore environments.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Red pulled down best Necrons and second best individual general at the ATC this past weekend. Big ups to him.
Team 40k is some of the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had over the years and this year is no exception. This past weekend in TN was an amazing experience and we highly encourage you all to give it a shot if tournaments are your thing.
After the break we talk about some of the cool paint recipes in this month’s White Dwarf magazine and a little bit about how it is completely okay to do your own thing lore wise in games like the Heresy.
Sure, there are tons of established stories but those are just what the authors have chosen to tell us.

FTN Episode 441 – Fight Last Vs Fight Fights – The Battle of the Century!
Jul 15, 2022
We take the opportunity to look at the Fights Last vs Fight First mechanic in the game. With the release of the Chaos Space Marine codex there are a bunch of ways to pull off a Fights Last effect on charging opponents. It will definitely let the Chaos players control the momentum of combat. This isn’t just about Chaos so there should be something here for all generals.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
We sort of center the conversation around Chaos Space Marines in this episode but the concepts aren’t limited to them. There are a lot of ways to get Fights Last in the game but right now it looks like Drukhari and Chaos Space Marines do it best. You do not want to go into them unprepared.
Last episode we talked about Shadows Edge Miniatures and their project. He’s got a kickstarter going now for what are sure to be more awesome products and you can find it here.
Even armies like Necrons and the Silent King have the ability to pull off a cheeky Fights Last. Players need to ask themselves, how do they deal with it.
It’s not all doom and gloom, it’s a great mechanic. Players should be using this as the Fight Phase is extremely deadly and sometimes a difficult situation to navigate. Why not give yourself a leg up by taking the wind out of the sails of the charging units?

FTN Episode 440 – 6 Inch Charges From Reserves Coming To a Town Near You
Jul 09, 2022
Wow wow wow. Are you feeling claustrophobic on the table? There may be no where to hide from a few assault based armies now. That might be a good thing and put some much needed spice in the game.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Charging into Obscuring Terrain got a tad bit less wonky with the most recent FAQ change. Now players only need to come within 2 inches for Engagement range when charging units near/in Obscuring Terrain. This has a lot of players shaking in their boots. Is this a good thing?
Last episode we talked about Shadows Edge Miniatures and their project. He’s got a kickstarter going now for what are sure to be more awesome products and you can find it here.
The Assault Phase is one of the most skill based activities in this game and it just got a little harder to avoid. I mean.. basically the games needs terrain to be fun and equal the playing field for everyone involved. There were ‘exploits’ for players to further delay close proximity contact with the opponent that we can guess were unintentional as far as the rules go.
We’ve got a bit of a band-aid on that while still preserving lanes of fire and maneuvering on the table while giving some home for interactivity for assault armies. Full disclosure, I play Blood Angels and am very happy about this change.

FTN Episode 439 – Big Changes – Big Opportunity (for Necrons)
Jul 03, 2022
Changes to the game are part of the cycle of life.. Right? Generals around the world will need to adapt to the Command Point changes and how to look for value in their codexes that weren’t considered previously. The first part of the show is about finding that value and the back half of the show is about how good the Necrons are gonna have it.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
We’re all going to be thirsty for Command Points. I played against someone this weekend who was using the ‘old way’ of spending all his CP before the game started for advantages. He felt very constrained in the first few turns of the game because he never had the gas in the tank he needed to flip combats.
Last episode we talked about Shadows Edge Miniatures and their project. He’s got a kickstarter going now for what are sure to be more awesome products and you can find it here.
After a brief player spotlight with Paul and Nick Nanavati we pick Red back up on the show to shed some light on what will become the Necron menace.
There have been several times in the game where Necrons have been dominant. Is it their time to shine again? It might be cool if it is, as it is a pretty easy army to get up and going for new players, for painting and playing.

FTN Episode 438 – Is Chaos Good Again In Warhammer 40k? Yep!
Jun 25, 2022
We talk a lot about World Eaters in this show and then we move over to talk about the new Chaos Space Marines in general but with a huge focus on the man himself Abaddon the Despoiler. He is the truth. If you’re on the fence about picking one up you don’t want to wait.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Yo!!! Chaos is here and it’s going to bring some long awaited rivalries back to the tabletop. The game is just better when there are strong bad guy factions.
Last episode we talked about Shadows Edge Miniatures and their project. He’s got a kickstarter going now for what are sure to be more awesome products and you can find it here.
Abaddon is freaking amazing! There is a lot to love in the Chaos Space Marine Codex but he basically is 300 points of your army is sorted. Every Chaos army is going to be 1700 points plus this champion.
We give Red ample opportunity to gush over the World Eaters as well. The World Eaters sort of trade the power they have now for some power they will get once folks have the Chaos book in their hands.

FTN Episode 437 – Did You Actually Like Having Command Points Anyway?
Jun 20, 2022
Big changes coming with the Chapter Approved. It will definitely take some getting used to but isn’t this the sort of shake up we think we want? This might be the biggest change out side of an edition shift we’ve seen so far in 9th. Does this actually get closer to leveling the playing field?

I hate to be late twice in a row but more travel pushed the show back. So sorry! I know it’s a pain to break up the routine.
Last episode we talked about Shadows Edge Miniatures and their project. He’s got a kickstarter going now for what are sure to be more awesome products and you can find it here.
We just right in to what we know and start talking about the Command Point changes hitting soon that will impact each and every army in the game. But does it actually help?
Aeldari are going right to the top. It’s not exactly a big jump as they were number 2 or 3 anyway depending on how you were judging that day. Tau might have enjoyed a brief moment in the sun before heading back down to 3rd or 4th.. We won’t know until we see points. If we think the above is accurate is there room for something else to slip into that 2nd or 3rd rank position?

FTN Episode 436 – Do You Need A Change Of Scenery?
Jun 14, 2022
We talk about terrain in both Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000 this week before giving our initial impressions on the new Age of Darkness set for the Horus Heresy. A slight spoiler, the box set and game are amazing.

Very sorry about the late show posting but Paul has been traveling and doing commentary for the Games Workshop US Open Series. This weekend they were in San Diego.
In the middle of the episode we have short vendor spotlight segment with Zach from Shadow’s Edge Miniatures. You folks know I love their grass tufts and basing solutions. He’s got a kickstarter going now for what are sure to be more awesome products and you can find it here.
After that segment we talk about our initial impressions about the Horus Heresy box set and rules. I love them. Hear more inside. Ha!
Terrain is sometimes overlooked and you can’t.. Because some of it is Obscuring.

FTN Episode 435 – How Much Balance is Enough Balance?
Jun 04, 2022
Pleasant Kenobi joins us in the middle of the show for a special segment where we compare how often Wizards of the Coast balances Magic The Gathering vs how often Games Workshop balances Warhammer. Is the game doing too much or too little to keep the competitive environments healthy?
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
We don’t exactly solve all the problems in Warhammer in this episode but more just talk about the idea of intentionally crafting a healthy competitive environment.
Pleasant Kenobi joins us again. You might remember him from the last time he was on the show and earlier in his Warhammer journey. You can find his YouTube channel here.
Its a fun conversation and we hope you enjoy it.
This episode is split into three parts as we had to juggle schedules this week but it comes together nicely in post!

FTN Episode 434 – Big Models and Big Heresy
May 30, 2022
Adam asks the question of How Do You Even Get Started With Big Models. We cover that after briefly giving an update on the state of the game. Red show his traitorous side and devotes his life to Iron Warriors. Waaaaaa?

We mention the Games Workshop US Open Series event coming up in San Diego too. I really hope to see you there. This is my first time in that part of the country and I’m really looking forward to it. Mmmmm Tacos…
A standard two part episode this week but next week we’ll have a couple special guests.
The back half of the episode is about getting started with large models. We’re talk mostly about Knights but there are lot of applications you can use this for. Hope it helps!

FTN Episode 433 – Are You Ready For The Next Event?
May 21, 2022
This show is largely about getting those 10 points for Battle Ready in Matched Play Games. We hide it in several topics throughout the show. Hopefully you enjoy the ramble and the special guest (Kicker) we have in the middle.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
This is a fun show where we cover a bunch of different topics but still keep a focus on tournaments and how to get ready for them. We chat about all sorts of stuff like testing, painting and display boards.
We mention the Games Workshop US Open Series event coming up in San Diego too. I really hope to see you there. This is my first time in that part of the country and I’m really looking forward to it. Mmmmm Tacos…
In the middle of the show Paul is joined by Kicker Kalozdi. You can just feel like this dude loves his job and cares about putting on a good show for people. If you aren’t familiar with what he does right now please check it out both on Signals from the Frontline and the FLG Events/Tournaments.
The last part of the show we talk about Display Boards. This topic is heating up and is interesting. Do we over value or under value them when determining ‘best painted’? Do some events require them to consider your army Battle Ready? Do some tournaments require them to give your army max paint points? Should they?

Last weekend was jam packed with Warhammer goodness. It is easier than ever to have more Warhammer more often. Did you see what toy wanted to see? I can’t wait! Heresy is getting a facelift and a bunch of new plastics but it didn’t stop there….

You won’t believe what Red says in this one. Has he finally turned his back on the dark gods? The Pantheon is watching.
We jump around a LOT in this one but there is so much to cover we can hardly contain the excitement. We basically only hint at the new releases and more have our eyes set on the future and all the stuff we have coming down the pipe. Since we’ve seen it we can only hope it’s coming soon.
I can’t wait to get my hands on a plastic Sicaran. I’ve never actually owned one, now it feels like I need to dress up a few for my favorite legions.
My oldest son has gotten into Warhammer and is asking all the tough questions. We kick off the back half of the show talking about one of those.

FTN Episode 431 – The Meta Is Wide Open
May 01, 2022
Matched Play is still playing catch up with the Balance Data Slate and during this downtime we’re getting speculative. Are Tyranids really public enemy number one this weekend? The back half of the show is a hobby segment where we give tips about how to up your hobby game with no skill.

We’re just scratching the surface of what Armor of Contempt is doing out there in the wide world of Warhammer. So few players had all the 1kSons they needed ready to go but I absolutely believe we’ll see them taking the top spots by storm soon. Can the same be said for Death Guard?
I think folks are sort of biding their time to see what Tyranids might do now that their codex is live and Knights on the horizon. Either way, this is a great time to be participating in the competitive side of the hobby. So many things are on the table…. Did you see what I did there?
Tyranids will absolutely be a dominating force this weekend and I must say, I hope the players enjoy it. This faction has had some life breathed into it the last few months with Crusher but that should not cast a shadow of the warp over the fact that there are tons of long term faction fans who have been chomping at the bit to get their favorite minis on the table.
The back of the show is all about how to up your hobby game for any skill level.

FTN Epsidode 430 – Is Your CSM Player Friend Happy Now?
Apr 24, 2022
We kick the show off talking a bit about the Chaos Space Marine teasers provided by the Warhammer Community team before going on to chat about the ripples from the Balance Data Slate and Knight news. Hobby Segment this week is about alternative ways to base your flying models.
Hi all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
No dates yet but we have some cool news about Chaos Space Marines and what we can expect if and when they ever get a new book. It’s pretty exciting to think about what they may get but it is way too early to speculate too much,
The Balance Data Slate continues to shake up the meta as generals all around the world are adjusting to the changes. Custodes seem to still be doing just fine with a few minor tweaks to their lists, Aeldari are wrecking faces all over the place and Astra Militarum is still struggling. But is it though? Or are people still just a bit gun shy? Did you see what I did there??
What we’ve seen so far about Knights, both flavors, has folks scratching their heads wondering if these new profiles and expanded abilities are enough to keep them on the table in what is an extremely killy/dangerous edition of Warhammer.
As we’ve seen with all the previews we need to get the book in hand to really explore all the combos and ins and outs. It’s very difficult to know what an army is all about from a couple of short articles and a glimpse of just a couple of abilities.

FTN Episode 429 – The Balance Data Slate Attacks – Revenge of the Balance
Apr 15, 2022
The Q2 Balance Data Slates swings for the fences and NO ONE IS SAFE! Just kidding… it’s actually pretty even keel and these changes should reinvigorate matched play in ways we didn’t expect. The goal seemed to be to smooth out the top rungs of competitive lists and lift up the under performers. It does that.
Hi all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
GUARD ARE BACK BABY! Okay okay okay, I got a little excited but I’m pretty interested in seeing how the guard changes inspire generals to get back on the table. It’s been super lean for them this edition. This is a band-aid for sure but its the best thing they’ve gotten to date in 9th.
Custodes tumble and lose a TON of their flexibility. I don’t know how I feel about this yet and I’m not sure we can truly understand how this will impact list building but it is definitely going to be harder for Custodes players to score points round to round. It’s not impossible though.
Astartes of all types get a massive boost to their armor saves. This will 100% change what people consider taking and mark these words… We’ll see more Chaos Space Marines as result of it.
One of the more controversial changes is around the bodyguard rule. Now it takes the game a little bit out of the abstract and more into a less fun sponge sort of process. I don’t mind this. There is sniper mechanic in the game that doesn’t get as much play as you might expect. Maybe that changes now causing players to have more interaction on the table and play a little less cavalier? We’ll see.

FTN Epsiode 428 – NEW Tyranids Codex Review – Gonna Be Hot!
Apr 09, 2022
You only thought you had the meta figured out from last week. Just wait. The Hive Fleets will be hitting the table bigger and beefier than ever. Will it be more brains than brawn? Why not both? Seriously, this is a great book with tons of options for generals. Check this show out.
Hi all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
In the middle of the show we’re joined by Caleb from CK Studios to talk about airbrushing and how to get into it if you’re airbrush curious. The whole rest of the show is about Tyranids.
John Hickton graces us with his expansive Tyranid knowledge and insights into the new abilities. We’re definitely going to see a ton of Maleceptors and Zoanthropes on the table and believe it or not.. Tyranids Warriors.
Warriors will be back as a mainstay in almost any variant of the lists we think. There are a few powerful mechanics in the book that allow you to wring and incredible amount of ferocity and efficiency out of these creatures.
The hobby segment is about White Dwarf tutorials this week. Remember, a lot of tutorials are based on models but as the reader you can just focus on the colors used if the faction doesn’t apply to you.

FTN Episode 427 – Adepticon Recap and Community Spotlight
Apr 03, 2022
Very glad to be back this week. Very sorry we missed last week. We try to never miss a beat so we hope to make up for it on this episode. We recap Adeticon, the state of the 40k meta and in the middle of the show we have an awesome community spotlight segment.
Hi folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
In the middle of the show we have a cool segment with Steven Vallee who is amazing community organizer in the Southeast US. You can find information on the convention we highlight in the segment here. Rocky Top Gamecon
Adepticon did not disappoint. It remains a world class event and spirits were high the entire convention. The 40k meta was DOMINATED by Harlequins as top end players flocked to the incredibly efficient Voidweavers. There were many other stories from the event like Tau and Necrons also competing for the top slots but those stories are overshadowed by the Harlequin on Harlequin final.
Players will definitely have to account for Harlequins at events but also make note – DO NOT SLEEP on the rest of the Aeldari Codex. there is a lot of power there. Warhammer 40k is in a great state of competitive play, and I really mean that, more and more is getting injected into the competitive ecosystem. it’s easy to just look at the headlines but there are tons of threats out there where player skill will be the only determining factor. Let’s see what you’ve got out there!

FTN Episode 425 – Harlequins Will Be Bounding Back To The Tables
Mar 13, 2022
The back half of the show is all about Harlequins. The front half is all about the hobby and mostly about basing your models. It’s an important topic. Continuing our coverage of the MASSIVE Aeldari book we gives yall some heads up on what to expect from Harlequins. they are absolutely deadly and durable.
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Deadly and durable is the hallmark of armies we’ve seen coming from the GW studio this year and I don’t mind saying I love it. If all armies can be this good then the power is in the player’s hands.
there are tons of amazing ways to play the game in the Aeldari book an the Harlequins are no exception to that. The specific factions have been replaced by Light, Dark and Twilight and each offer some powerful options. It’s tough to choose which one I like best but we expect to see a lot of players opting for the ability that forces your opponent to miss on rolls of 1-3. Can’t blame them there.
Harlequin players aren’t really forced to choose between lethality or durability. Players of this faction will absolutely make an impact on tournaments next weekend. Can anything be done to stop it? Probably as I believe Tau have enough shots to tear down the lower model count armies. Custodes can still be tough to route out of terrain, so and so forth. What this does is inject another predator into the ecosystem which while that may sound bad – it’s great for the game as the more powerhouse we have forcing players to make list composition choices the more likely we are to have a better games all around.

FTN Episode 424 – What is the Best Aeldari Core Troop?
Mar 06, 2022
What is the best Troop in Codex Aeldari? That will always depend on what else is in your army but this codex makes a compelling case for several at face value. We run down the virtues of the choices in this slot. We’re saving Harlequins for next week..
Hey all,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
People will be looking at this book for a LONG time trying to figure out the best way to come about this. I think a lot of folks will shy away from the large blocks of troops in an effort to get more of the juicy elite choices into their list but am I wrong?
We take a look at the troops selections available to most Aeldari players. This includes some new options in the form of Corsairs. They have amazing models but is what you get enough to offset a more traditional choice is what we try to figure out in this episode.
We know it really depends on what else is in your army or your ‘intent’ with secondaries or how tricky you want to get.
The hobby segment is back! This time talking about custom bases. If you want to see the results Paul always posts up on twitter and instagram. Links below.

Codex Aeldari is up for pre order this week and it is SPICY. There is so much packed into this book it is easily one of the largest Codexes we’ll see in this edition. We barely scratch the surface but cover a ton of good stuff and hopefully get you all lathered up in anticipation of the new rules. I’m excited.
Hey folks,
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Holy smokes… the Aeldari are going to make a huge splash in the meta. Folks who have been worried about Custodes and Drukhari and Admech or any of the other boogey men out there need to add Codex Aeldari to the list. It is powerful.
With that said it seems fairly balanced point wise. Generals will really need to chose what they include in their force and might get bogged down in a list full of good things and not really have a good list. There is so much depth and options in this book that is supported by the three factions represented and seemingly designed from the ground up to work together.
Each and every single one of the Craftworlds seems playable. We call out Biel-Tan in this show because I play it and we go on to expound that it is everyone’s favorite anyway, probably right? I mean.. that sounds right.
The hobby segment will be back next week.

FTN Episode 422 – Black Library Celebration – What Did You Get?
Feb 20, 2022
In this episode we ask you nicely to consider buying a t shirt and ask you if pickles are a side dish. We kick off the show talking about the cool stuff coming out for the Black Library celebration and end the show with a hobby segment and some tips on hobby vlogging.
Hey all.
Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.
Some amazing stuff went up for pre-order this weekend for the Black Library celebration. I couldn’t resist getting the map and the two characters released. They are NICE! Did y’all jump in and pick anything up?
After the break we talk about a charity event happening soon in Dublin Ireland. It is so neat to see the world wide community doing great things around this hobby. If you are in the area please consider checking this event out.
Adam reveals he plans to go on a journey with his Dark Angels this year later in the show and wants to vlog it. We talk about some tips on how to get started with that and how to make it interesting for viewers. While this segment is specific to one type of thing maybe the concepts help someone get started on any new projects they may be thinking about.
The hobby segment is BACK! We talk about painting gold in a quick way that really brings some amazing results.

FTN Episode 421 – Aint No Shame In Your Game – Enjoy 40k However You Want
Feb 13, 2022
Some folks let us know that they felt like they had to enjoy this giant hobby the same way as they felt others were doing so. We come right out of the gate and say that isn’t true. We all know that but sometimes you lose sight of it. Its your time. Your fun. Any investment you make in this hobby is completely up to you.
Hey hey.
A little break from what we normally talk about to have a feel good segment. It’s a little bit of a hurrah of a segment but hey.. I think we needed it. Take a deep breath, have fun and we hope the first half of the show is a little brightness to the day.
When we’re looking at social media is so easy to get caught up and think we have to like something or be enjoying something the same way that other people do. You don’t. We talk for a bit about that concept and hope it lands well with you folks who listen. Obviously it doesn’t apply to everyone but maybe knowing what other people could be going through is helpful. Perspective and all that.
In the back half of the show we talk tips for list. We talk about what people are building around for their Tau, GSC and Custodes.
Custodes are really making an impact on the meta and that’s cool! They are a great entry point for people who are fans of the lore and the army travels EXTREMELY well which is cool for those of us who like to make it to tournaments around the country.
GSG is going to take some time to find that perfect build but Tau.. Tau seem to have a lot going on and it’s difficult to make a bad build. These Xenos will have folks scratching their head for weeks to come.

FTN Episode 420 – Las Vegas Open 2022 and Eldrich Omens Preview
Feb 06, 2022
The LVO is back baby! Several of us were able to make and had a great time. We recap some of that experience before diving into Eldrich Omens first looks. The new minis are great! It cool to see the options and poses still exist in the kit.
Hi everyone.
This show is a little short this week. Many apologies. I’m a little worn out from the trip but next week we’ll be back to normal.
We kick the show off taking about the crazy action we saw at the LVO. We had some new faces take the event brackets by storm! Pretty cool to see. It’s not surprising that Richard Siegler took down the whole event. If he is anywhere in the top cut you know he’s odds on favorite to take the event.
Custodes seemed to do the best overall with their new book beating out Thicc City and Crusher Stampede. Both of those armies sort of lost steam as the event coalesced. It’s possible they are truly yesterday’s meta. They will still be a terror of a three round event but do they have what it takes to go all the way in a 5+ rounder still? I’m sure we’ll find out over the coming weeks.
Space Marines of all types and Orks struggled to make it deep into day 2 with no losses. Wow. Would anyone have called that?
Eldrich Omens is pretty sweet. This is the first opportunity to get your hands on some new models and we know a lot of players will jump on that. The price point is definitely not for everyone. I’m sure these kits will make their way out individually eventually. There looks like there is going to be a WHOLE lot to pick up for the new Aeldari range. I can’t wait! Games Workshop was nice enough to provide us a copy and we’re happy to share our thoughts with you.

FTN Episode 419 – NEW Codex Tau First Impressions
Jan 29, 2022
It is always exciting when a new Codex comes up for pre order. This book is no different. We know that Tau have not been incredibly popular on the Grand Tournament scene recently but that could all change. There are a ton new abilities in this book that may re-install this faction to the podiums.
Hi all,
Games Workshop was kind enough to provide us with a review copy of Codex Tau. This dex brings about some big changes to the Tau battle strategy and something we have all feared at one time or another – Marketlights.
The lead up to this release has been a story of Rail Cannons. They are big, flashy and definitely pack a punch. I think as we learn more about the book we’ll come to tell a tale of Smart Missile Systems and Battlesuits.
The Ghostkiel is amazing. I really expect this to be in every early build for Tau generals.
There is a bit of a renewed lease on life for the Stormsurge. Thus model has only had brief glances at the tabletop in years past. Now… we may see it.
One thing is for sure – Tau generals are going to love this. It looks like there are several ways to put together great lists. And Kroot… let’s talk about Kroot for a bit. Not only can you field a full army of Kroot, they may actually do well. ha! Sure, it sounds like a gimmick but there are ton of stratagems that really help the Kroot perform on the table.

FTN Episode 418 – Chapter Approved and NEW Tournament Missions
Jan 22, 2022
A ton of point changes but they seem more just like nudges one way or another and nothing too drastic. Custodes get some tweaks, Orks get some tweaks and.. well, you are just going to have to listen.
Hi folks,
In this episode we run down some of the point changes in the first half. A good bit of the stuff was thankfully up on the Warhammer Community page so players should already have a good idea of whats in store.
The actual biggest changes to the game come from the Grand Tournament Mission updates.
It’s subtle but there will be a HUGE impact to the outcome of many games. Players won’t be able to rely on the same old secondaries . A portion of the players that were struggling to max points with their secondary choices might find some nice new stuff they can pick that has them feeling like they have a shot in any match up.
That is honestly what it’s all about. Players want to feel good about getting their models on the table and feel like they have a fighting chance. More than any other book or mission set that has come out before I think this release accomplishes that.
Is it a must buy? That’s for you to decide but I do feel like it is a must use.

FTN Episode 417 – Genestealer Cult First Impressions – Are You Ready To Join?
Jan 16, 2022
We’re joined by special guest Dustin Henshaw on this episode knowing that he is a Genestealer Cult enthusiast. He’s got a handle of the ins and outs of this book and an absolute pleasure to listen to. We hope you enjoy the discussion.
Hi all,
Genestealer Cults are back. They have a LOT of tricks up their sleeve and we run down the highlights. The Cult has powerful new rules and some of their old favorite characters have gotten a ton of new rules, gimmicks and tricks.
Games Workshop was nice enough to give us a promotional copy for our review.
Like we’ve seen in all the books there are cool combos and passages from each of the sections in the book that you can layer on to make a unique force.
This book puts the Genestealer back in the Genestealer Cults. We bet you’ll see a lot more of them in people’s armies than you have in previous editions. Also.. I hope you saved your Rock Grinders and Goliaths. These models have always looked cool but now they have some rules to match.
Let us know if you’re considering this army and if there is anything you’d like us to unpack from the Custodes and GCS dex’s. We’re taking deeper dives next week!

FTN Eposide 416 – Adeptus Codexes NEW Codex First Looks!
Jan 08, 2022
GW has hit us with TWO new codexes this week but in this episode we just folks on the guardians of the Big E. Some things are just as you would expect and some things have been dialed up to 11. Get the first looks from us in this show. The Adeptus Custodes are still going to be mainstays in the competitive scene.
Hi folks,
We just scratch the surface on the Adeptus Custodes this week. The codex is jammed packed with new stratagems, faction rules, Relics and Warlord traits.
Games Workshop was nice enough to give us a promotional copy for our review.
The great thing about this book is that you can largely use the figures you have and it’s a nice treat to be able to maybe haul a few additional models out of your collection back to the tabletop.
The fighting styles and how they interact with the Shield Hosts is one of the more dynamic things about the book. It gives you some amount of flexibility even if you only want to take the same figures in every game. You choose your fighting styles before each game and it isn’t something you have to do at army list generation.
One of the best Stratagems from the previous codex is Unleash the Lions. It’s still there and as a matter of fact I think we’ll end up seeing a lot more Allarus Terminators on the table. There are a few things that have changed and we call them out a little on the show as well as highlight that even though a lot of the weapons have gone to damage 2, it may not be as cool as you think….

FTN Episode 415 – Happy 2022! Cheers to the Listeners
Jan 02, 2022
thfdssdfsfsf
First new show of the year! Tanya, Adam, Red and Paul talk about crazy 40k lore theories while we ponder what the new Seasons previews from Games Workshop actually mean.
Hi Everyone,
Seriously, 2021 is in the rear view and I know that means a lot to a ton of people. We sincerely appreciate you listening to us this past year. We welcome the new listeners and want to thank the long time listeners as well. It means so much to us. There is plenty more coming this year.
2022 – it almost sounds crazy to say!
Towards the end of last year we got a cool preview of what we can expect going into this new year with lore, models and all sorts of cool stuff for Matched Play.
Abaddon is back but at this point is he a credible threat? That’s a focus of the show we sort of take a tangent on.
This episode is a bit of a mixed bag of topics as we meander through like we sometimes do. In the middle of the show Paul sits down with Jay from our Sponsor Discount Games Inc. Please don’t forget to check them out!

FTN Episode 414 – Looking Back Keeps Us Looking Ahead
Dec 26, 2021
This really isn’t a year in review show but we do get to talk about a lot of the models that were released over 2021. We pick our favorites and talk about some serious contenders.
Hi folks,
I hope everyone is having a safe and relaxing time during this holiday season.
In this episode we talk about some of the best models that came out in 2021. We still can’t believe it was 2021 in some regard. The time has flown and we really appreciate you all sticking with us and continuing to listen/support us. A sincere Thank You! It doesn’t matter if you’ve just found us or been listening since the beginning it means so much that you’ve clicked the like or subscribed or whatever.
We pretty much all agree that the big ole first Daemon Prince is the best model we’ve seen this year but that is in the eye of the beholder for sure.
What was your favorite? Does your favorite have more to do with the army you play right now or the army you wish you had?
Y’all don’t have to hear me talk about Death Guard terminators anymore. Ha! I’ve finished them. 20 Blightlords, a few Death Shroud and some character models are all ready for the tabletop. It’s been a fun project and thanks a bunch to the people that have encouraged me on Twitter and Instagram.

FTN Episode 413 – Tau Previews.. Did Any Expect That?
Dec 19, 2021
This week we talk a little bit about hobby progress and after the break we talk a bit about the new Tau things highlighted on the Warhammer Community page. Then we talk about THE META. What does that even mean?
Hi all,
Stats are stats as data is data. In a lot of cases you can make it mean whatever you need it to mean or not mean… I’m not trying to be vague here but with Games Workshop getting back into Matched Play events they are starting to release information on how these events went.
Win Rates have a lot of variance based on sample size, the pilots of those lists, the dice, the perfection to which the players played, the number of turns played, etc. etc.
To me, what is more meaningful is the go first win rate. The format, average player skill level, terrain and maybe even mission choice and order may have – for the first time in history – leveled the playing field on needing first turn. Is that legit?!
We front load the hobby talk on this episode and talk about where we are with certain projects. Hope you enjoy it and that you’re getting some time to work on your stuff!

FTN Episode 412 – It’s Gonna Be a Fire Fight!
Dec 11, 2021
We crack open the new GSC ability Crossfire in this episode. We don’t know a ton about what to expect from this faction shrouded in mystery and deep under the surface. Did you see what I did there? We tell you what we know before jumping into the back half of the show where we tell you how to beat Drukhari, kinda.
Hi folks,
Players of the Genestealer Cult have had a rough go of it as late and the faction isn’t seeing a lot of play. We know the players are chomping at the bit to get their hands on a new book and the wait is almost over!
We go over our thoughts about what is posted on the Warhammer Community page but we know this only scratches the surface.
After the break we talk about the uphill battle that a lot of players are facing when it comes to defeating Drukhari. They seem to have all the tricks!
The finishing moves section is more of a discussion topic than it is a painting tip.

FTN Episode 411 – Talons of the Emperor Are Going to be Sharp!
Dec 03, 2021
Come join Paul this weekend on Warhammer TV! This show is going up early and we should be back to normal next week. This week we are talking about the Talons of the Emperor news that went up on the Warhammer Community site and then we close out with an anti-gift guide and some hobby inspiration.
Hi all,
We spend the first part of the show talking about the next version of the Custodes fighting styles as mentioned on the Warhammer community site. They look pretty dern interesting. Right now folks consider the Custodes a little streamlined in play style. Is this gonna mix it up?
At some point Paul butchers some Sisters of Silence lore but we do talk about how including a unit or two of these in your force might be potent if you can do so without much of a compromise on your other special rules.
Very tongue in cheek we talk about an anti-gift guide for your gamer buddies. Gamers mostly have all the ‘game’ stuff they need so if you feel like celebrating in a gift giving way you may have to think outside the box. We give a few suggestions.
The finishing moves section is more of a discussion topic than it is a painting tip.
Tanya and Paul talk about getting out of your own way and keeping yourself motivated to finish your models.

FTN Episode 410 – Drukhari Can’t Be Stopped – Or Can They?
Nov 28, 2021
Very sorry about missing the release last week but Paul was in Austin doing some commentary on the Games Workshop US Open Series. On this episode we talk a little about what did well that weekend and what it takes to topple the big lists.
Hi folks,
The Balance Update was in full effect this past weekend along with updates for the Tyranids out of the Octarius campaign book. It made QUITE a difference. Drukhari are still at the top of the heap but that had as much to do with player skill as it did list design.
Good players doing well is not surprising but the consistent performance and top finishes certainly is. These players have been able to adapt to a changed environment and battle through great opponents and die rolls. No easy feat!
A list known as Thicc City seems to be the go to build for Durkhari players right now and we got to see why in Austin. It has a ton of durability and the ability to engage opponents on a variety of different levels.
We talk a bit about how that all went down and things players need to be on the lookout for before taking a break and coming back to talk about Lore, the behavior of Primarchs and the Horus Heresy novels.
Adam does his best to besmirch the good name of Sanguinius. This is kidding of course but we do have a serious discussion all the while throwing in quips about our favorite characters.

FTN Episode 409 – Is Warhammer 40k Balanced? Okay.. What About Now?
Nov 14, 2021
The Balance update is here and people by in large seem to be digging it. Is it what we needed to put Competitive 40k back on track? We are really seeing the beauty of the Matched Play rules design starting to flourish.
Hi all,
Like every other content creator that covers Warhammer 40,000 matched play we are talking about the balance update. It may not look like much but it is a doosey.
The Drukhari get a little bit of a downgrade by upping the points on a few units and the same goes for Adeptus Mechanicus. The good thing for those factions is it doesn’t make them uplayable in the slightest. The factions still have their teeth but opponents will feel like they have more of a fighting chance.
I think sometimes people sort of forget that several of the restrictions on how the game is played or how many times you can take X or do Y is a result of the Matched Play rules set which is a subset of the overall game of Warhammer 40k.
The Rules Folks took advantage of that and tweaked those matched play rules a bit to restrict the number of Aircraft that players can take based on the point level of the game.
The add to that the also put some restrictions in for the Orks limiting the number of a specific type of units they can take on the table as well.

FTN Episode 408 – Did The Orks Really Need New Rules?
Nov 07, 2021
We’re cracking open Octarius Book 2. For Matched Play the book is focused largely on Orks. The Blood Axe faction gets a pretty nice set of abilities. There is an Ork Army of Renown in the book too! If you’re an Ork player you’re definitely going to want this book and if you’re encountering a lot of Orks and tournaments you may be scratching your head and asking some of the same questions we do.
Hi folks,
Did the Orks actually need new rules? I guess you can ask that about most factions but it’s very interesting to continue to see additional rules coming out for a faction that already got new rules in recent memory.
For most players this might not matter but as tournament players where we see Orks continuing to dominate the scene with some pretty bonkers power only to see the faction get some additional abilities, it seems a little weird.
The good news for folks concerned is that the Buggies and such are likely going to keep running the army the way they have been and not use this army of renown at the moment as it looks like a bit of a ‘side grade’ opposed to an upgrade. I do like how this book offers another way to play an existing force someone may own.
The Blood Axes get an actual upgrade which is cool and also a nice littler reward for folks who may be playing the faction and its some incentive to get ‘boyz’ on the table which we’ve heard is something some Ork players think they may be missing.
The Imperial Agents in this book are… in the book, ha! They provide some cool flavor and I like the option of playing with great looking units and the opportunity to include a pupper!

FTN Episode 407 – Can You Win With Tyranids? We Tell You How
Oct 31, 2021
The wonderful Aceface, John Hickton, joins us this week to discuss the absolute brutal things Tyranids get out of the Octarius campaign book. The Tyranids seemed to be missing a couple 9th edition signature abilities but NO MORE! We tell you what they’ve gotten and why its important.
Hi all,
This is a fun episode. We get to speak with someone who truly loves a faction (that isn’t Blood Angels). We are talking bugs, with a capital T and that stands for Tyranids. That’s right, we’ve got an infestation!
Tyranids have one of the oldest Codexes at the moment and this is starting to show its age by them losing out on a few abilities that seem to be so critical in this edition to remain competitive – rerolls. One of the biggest boons the Nids get is a massive ability to hand out rerolls from one of their big bugs. John tells us why this is so important.
Genestealers are a fan favorite and they also get some additional love out of this book. We talk about how the investment you need to make into the Stealers can seem like a lot. This makes it a little less so as you can wring it out of abilities and things you might already be taking so maybe you feel like it is less of a tax.
After the break we go meta… super meta in the fact that we talk about maybe changing the meta by reducing the points we play this game in Competitive 40k. 2000 points is the standard, but should it be? Do a lot of our problems go away if we reduce the points or are we simply creating new problems we don’t know about?
Let us know if you’re going to bring these things off your shelves.

FTN Episode 406 – Can Octarius Save Cadia? Big Guns Never Tire
Oct 23, 2021
Octarius absolutely gives some units a new lease on life – including Fortifications. I’ll be honest.. it’s hard for me to put Buildings in a list but wow, I may be breaking out a Bastion for my next test game. Can you say a building has legs? Cause this may be what a lot of units want in the game right now.
Hey folks,
We focus largely on Cadia and Fortifications in this episode. We’re saving the Nid talk for next episode. Hang in there for one more week buggy boos!
The Deathwatch faction comes swinging for the fences too. The Campaign books have always been hits but this one really comes in hot. All the factions represented here get some pretty powerful upgrades. For guard player this is interesting since they are still sort of limping in this edition with an older codex trying to compete in the ‘Modern’ world.
We hit the highlights on Astra Militarum and I think players will be happy with this. The other interesting thing is the call back to the OG Fortifications. I’ve taken them in the past when they were really advantageous and we might be right back in that spot now.
This is especially true with the bonus rules the Deathwatch are getting now. We’ve seen this faction getting a fair amount of play recently and these new rules are definitely going to inject a few more into the ecosystem.
Let us know if you’re going to bring these things off your shelves.

FTN Episode 405 – Will Black Templars Make an Impact? Can They Beat Ad Mech?
Oct 17, 2021
We’re talking about Black Templars this week. Adam is a long time Black Templar player and we’re anxious to get his thoughts. He’s a little critical of the book and we can’t blame him! What we can do though… is take a dive and figure out what we think one might want to build around while playing this faction.
Hey all,
Marines are Marines right? Maybe… but what we’re seeing is that Games Workshop is doing a lot to make the various Chapters feel unique, powerful and characterful based on their lore and the expectations people may bring to the table.
The Black Templar are no exception. One of the best things in the book is their ability to go deep into the stacks of Relics for their Chapter. I get the sense of them really cracking open the vaults and being able to bring their 1000s of years of experience to any situation.
The Templars can declare a Vow at the start of the game AFTER seeing which army they are playing against. Anything like this where you get to choose something after knowing a bit of information is nice. The ‘power’ here is yet to be determined but I think it’s a nice nod to swearing an Oath of the Moment.
Being able to pick Secondaries and a powerful army ability after you know what you’re up against seems good to me. The Templars gain the benefit of being sturdy Marines with a few tricks thrown on top. I can’t see how they won’t be good.
The Black Templar also have some STOUT characters that received an update as the result of this Codex. I foresee many players being able to build around these new Primaris upgrades. They are absolute beat sticks!

Thanks for sticking with us after a week of vacation. We are back with a little bit of recap from the Games Workshop US Open event in New Orleans and we also ponder a little bit on Black Templars and what did well at both the NOLA tournament and the recent Las Vegas Team Tournament
Hey all,
Red, Tanya and Adam are all back on the show this week for a nice jaunt through a series of topics.
We talk a little bit about the Black Templar posts on the Warhammer Community page too. Next week we’ll bring all the spicy goodness from it to the airwaves. It is going to be a great codex with a series of awesome models too.
We talk about the New Orleans tournament in what did well, who took it down, and the general feel of the event. It was awesome and I’m so happy to be a part of it.
We chat a bit about the lore of 40k again – as we’re all reading lore books at the moment. We basically cover the whole hobby in this episode.
Next week we’ll be back with the Finishing Moves Segment – Quick Cloth.

FTN Episode 403 – Is Mid Range The Best Range?
Sep 25, 2021
We may see a whole new slugfest developing over the next couple of tournaments. Two or three armies that can absolutely dominate the middle of the table have dropped and people will be bringing them to the table. We talk about Grey Knights, Orks and Thousand Sons in the first half of the show. In the back half we talk about how to beat them!
Hey all,
Dustin Henshaw joins us as a guest on the show hot on the heels of us recording the Thursday Show over on the FLGN.
We tee up how next weekend I’ll be streaming on Warhammer TV and how the terrain in Orlando had a hand in giving a few army types a fighting chance. We hypothesize how the middle table is where a lot of action may go down at the next tournament and in the future,
We kick around some ideas on Grey Knights and Orks. Weirdly it seems like damage 2 weapons might be a suckers bet. I never thought I’d see the day…
This is all conjecture at this point as Admech and Drukhari may continue to dominate the field. But like we say on the show, the door is cracked and some savvy generals may come busting through with a bevvy of Smites, Dakka Dakka and beastly close combat.
NEXT WEEK, Paul will be on vacation so there won’t be a regular release but please come join us on stream on Warhammer TV live from New Orleans next weekend!

FTN 402 – Culture Club Part 2 – Consequences of Choice!
Sep 21, 2021
Red is back for part two of our Culture Crafting discussion. I know so few of us actually end up running events but I do think it’s worth talking about all the decisions that go on behind the scenes for what is ultimately a host trying to put on a good time.
Hey folks,
It’s great to have Red back with us this week to dive deeper into the organizer decision making process.
Apologies for the late upload on this show! I try to hit the same time every week but I missed the mark this week.
In this episode we talk about the little nudges that Organizers make that can have a HUGE impact on the attendance and enjoyment of events. While this may not apply to you since you aren’t starting a tournament anytime soon it’s cool to know what the TOs may be thinking. You can also suggest a few things to them that you may like.
What I hope to accomplish is to inject a lot of conversation points into the dialogue so players and TOs can meet minds and hopefully come away with unique and characterful experiences all over the globe playing Warhammer.
Later in the show we tease that Paul was heading to GenCon last week. He’s back.. and now we have this show.. ha!

FTN Episode 401 – Warhammer 40k vs. Magic The Gathering – Who Wins?!
Sep 11, 2021
The title is very click baity and I don’t mean that on purpose. We’re joined by Pleasant Kenobi for a great segment in the middle of the show to talk about his journey into Warhammer 40k and I ask him a lot of questions about the comparison of game philosophy and approach to competitive play.
Hey all,
We kick off the show with a great lore questions of Did the Emperor Plan it all? Is the whole Imperium by design? Did all the stuff that seemed to be going wrong for the big E really fall right within his grand design?
It’s neat because everyone on the show is in a different place with reading the Horus Heresy and Siege of Terra novels so we all know different things and we’re all have a few bits and pieces of the secrets. We talk as much as we can about it with no spoilers. I hope you enjoy it and you have your own questions.
In the middle of the show there is a nice long segment with Pleasant Kenobi from YouTube and other stuff. He is a joy to talk to and I have blast talking with other content creators that also play other games. In this case the discussion floats between Magic the Gathering and Warhammer 40k. Vince is awesome and if you haven’t already checked out his content please do.
The concept of Warhammer 40k vs anything else never really comes up for most gamers but it was cool to talk about the different approaches to list and deck designs and how the two games are RADICALLY different.
The one similarity between the two games is that they can both be played ultra competitively. There are not right or wrong ways to enjoy these games. The players and the players you interact with can absolutely define what ‘fun’ is in these situations One interesting point is that in Warhammer the social contract seems to be a lot more open than in MTG.

FTN Episode 400 – How To Craft The Culture of Warhammer Events
Sep 05, 2021
Are you looking to start hosting Warhammer Tournaments or Events? Are you looking for tips on how to make these more fun for your participants or expand the groups that show up? Then we have an episode for you…
Hey folks,
We have talked a bit about this episode a lot in the past with casual mentions and promises that we would dive deep into this topic in the future. The FUTURE IS NOW! Planning tournaments or events can be a lot more complicated than just posting ‘come to our thing at X time!’
There are lots of options out there for people to participate in and they may have to be picky and choosey. In order for people to want to come to your specific thing it may benefit you to really think through things. There are many toggles you can opt for or against.
You likely just want to run the type of event that you’d like to attend. That’s the way it likely should be but what does that actually mean and are you sure you are attracting the type of player you want for the day?
We talk through a few things that hopefully help people organize their thoughts first and then how to set the stage for a great Warhammer experience.
This is just part one of this topic and we’ll be back next week with even more nitty gritty specifics.

FTN Episode 399 – Warhammer+ and Thousand Sons Army Lists – Are they Good?
Aug 27, 2021
This week we had the fist opportunity to subscribe to Warhammer+ and I jumped in both feet first. In this episode we also chat about a 1k Sons army list and ponder – will this army make a splash? The answer is Yes!
Hey all,
Please come check us out this weekend for the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation live stream event. Adam, Tanya and Paul will be jamming 3 hours of non stop enthusiasm as we close out the Summer Raffles and announce a few winners on air.
Warhammer+ is going to hit differently with lots of people but for me I am really digging it. I think it’s ambitious and will grow over time. The content is well produced and a great supplement to my hobby feels. If you have the means and the desire I highly encourage you to go for it – especially if you already had the app.
1k Sons are going to be strong. This list can shoot pretty well and can be devastating in the Psychic phase. This is up for debate but I think Rubrics are going to be the way to go over Terminators but am I wrong?
We’re seeing Games Workshop be willing to breath new life and power into these spin off codexes with fewer model options.
On this show we make a case for many units you may not have ever considered like Chaos Spawn and Forge Fiends. That’s right people, we talk about Forge Fiends.

FTN Episode 398 – Is It Okay To Submarine in Warhammer 40k Tournaments? The Hard Truth
Aug 21, 2021
This is a heavy episode, so be warned…. I say that because we tackle a difficult topic that means different things to different people. I’m anxious to hear what it means to you folks. Is deliberately coming in under what could be your max score fine to do in a Swiss style pairing system?
Hey all,
I fully expect some blow back from this episode and that’s cool. We mention it in the show how much of an opportunity to even have this discussion means to the competitive scene as a whole.
Our whole goal is to just inject a few things into the conversation so others may come to their own conclusion. Ultimately once the dice start getting played and people are going through the motions can you hate the system or the tactic? We don’t claim to solve this but I am interested in knowing what YOU think.
This is not an attempt to shame anyone in any event in any part of the world. The systems, or constructs, as they are allow for this type of stuff and it’s not necessarily a bad thing. As our scene continues to become more mainstream it’s cool to get these things out in the open and for us as a collective group to decide IF we want this to still be the case.
Ultimately it’s a risky move that rarely works out but when it does, does how we feel about it even matter?
We want to encourage more and more people to come out to events when we’re able to do so. Does this type of thing detract from that? The answer, like with most things, is ‘it depends.’ Some people will be put off by things like Submarining but others won’t and I think for an even larger group the overall appeal of the events and the unlikeliness that this sort of things will impact them will be an even bigger draw.

FTN Episode 397 – Kinda Sorta A Grey Knight and Thousand Sons Preview
Aug 08, 2021
Hey all, the books didn’t make into our hands before time of recording so we’re bringing our thoughts and impressions from the stuff we do know from the articles and lore. We’ll get to the rules later. We go over lore, hobby tips and more!
Hey everyone,
Sadly we are subject to the post office on some of these things but we’ll be bringing the tech and tips next week once we have the new stuff in hand. No worries though, we kept the mics hot and did our thing.
We come to the conclusion that Magnus knew exactly what he was doing, for better or for worse.
The Space Wolves got off scott free but we don’t get that deep. Next week… ha!
Sorry we can’t bring you all the deep cuts and new tactics from the new books just yet but we will certainly be back at it next week and thereafter.
I don’t think many of us do.

In the hobby segment we ask if it is easier to paint trim on armor first or second. We pretty much agree that we prefer painting it after the armor panels have been base coated.

FTN Episode 396 – What is Core? Baby, Don’t Hurt Me
Aug 01, 2021
We talk a bit about the Admech FAQ we received at the end of last week but mostly we have a healthy discussion about ‘what is core’ and why it seems to be different for several armies. What do you think it is? Is it just a rule that we’re supposed to min/max or is it something in the DNA of the faction itself?
Hey all,
A little bit shorter of an episode this week than we normally do but we’ve had to juggle some schedules and should be back on track next week!
We do a complete theoretical discussion about the nature of CORE as a keyword and as a trait of the lore of the army.
Not every codex seems to be benefiting from this in the same way. We don’t solve any puzzles here but it’s cool to hear the cast’s perspective. Fair warning… There is a little Necron salt in this show but it’s all in good fun.
When you’re making lists do you pay attention to the CORE keyword at all outside of deciding which buffs go where and what Stratagems you can use?
I don’t think many of us do.

FTN Episode 395 – How to Be True to Your Hobby Self
Jul 25, 2021
There is new stuff GALORE coming down from GW and we talk about it in the first half of the show. The last half, towards the end, we talk about how to be true to your hobby self to prevent ‘hitting the wall’ or burnout.
Hey folks,
We’ve seen a ton of teasers from the Warhammer Community team over the last few days including things from the Horus Heresy line. With all the stuff going missing from the Forge World site I really didn’t expect to see this.
That game is so driven by the setting and fun to hear it is getting some much needed attention. Believe, I am not complaining that its been a bit since it has since we have so much other stuff but I know the folks that play the game really eat that stuff up.
We fawn about the lore and some books for a bit to close out the first half of the podcast. Do you have any favorite parts we’ve missed?
After the break we run down a few of the Ork teasers. We are getting the impression from folks who have the book as part of the limited edition release that the book is good but may not have the power to stand up the Dark Eldar and Ad Mech.
I think that really remains to be seen as more Ork generals need to get this book in their hands and get their minds wrapped around the combos and strats!

FTN Episode 394 – Book of Fire? Does This Bring the Heat?
Jul 18, 2021
The Book of Fire breaths a little life into an under utilized Sisters Faction and also gives us a chance to revisit some of the Chaos factions and relics. We spend a little more time between the covers of this book and later in the show we bring back the hobby segment – this one is about starting new projects!
Hey all,
I know we focus a lot on the competitive or efficient side of things most of the time and that means we often don’t pay enough attention to the sub factions and groups that don’t allow us to chase that efficiency.
These campaign books typically come with a few extra rules, sometimes with the tradeoffs and restrictions, that give us an opportunity to take another look at these factions.
In the case of Our Martyred Lady this might give them a little bit of a shove to get them on the table. What do you think?
The same can be said for Chaos. Not in so much that they have new rules but has ‘what is required’ changed enough with the new releases to make some things we had overlooked before a lot more viable?
In the second half of the show we ohh and ahh over the previewed new models. Yum!

FTN Episode 393 – How Do YOU Beat Ad Mech?
Jul 11, 2021
We ask the question everyone is wanting to know. How do you beat Ad Mech? This new army has hit the scene in a big way and are proving to be a tough nut to crack. It will take a bit for folks to adjust and we offer some suggestions on how to speed that process up. In the second half we do a teaser on the Book of Fire up for pre-order now.
Hey folks,
Games Workshop was kind enough to send us preview copies of the Book of Fire and the new Crusade book up for pre-order now. In the back half of the show we start our coverage of the new campaign chapter.
We kick off the show with the full cast asking a very important question – How On Earth Do You Beat Ad Mech? This actually comes up with every explosive release for a signature faction. The new rules and abilities are disruptive to the status quo. This isn’t a bad thing as it injects something new in the mix that allows for other things to change keeping the cycle flowing and fresh.
I truly believe this will be the case every time we see a major faction released as each of them are distinctive by design. There will be something that we, if we care about those sorts of things, have to adapt to. I like this AS LONG AS each codex has the depth of tools to dip back in to.
I feel like this is the case with most of the codexes we’ve seen for this edition. Every time something new comes up it is an excuse to go back to the well and see what is left in the bucket. On the hobby side of things is an excuse to expand the collection and paint up some additional units. On the tournament side this is easy for us to forget as a major driving force in this hobby.
In the back half of the show it is Adam and Paul breaking down the top level info for the Book of Fire. The first Daemon Prince makes his way back to the 40k table in a pretty impressive way. Find out how inside!

FTN Episode 392 – What Is A Gaming Gotcha Moment? How Do you Manage Them?
Jul 03, 2021
This episode gets deep. We diagnose what a ‘gotcha moment’ is and what it is not by relating it to real world examples and the spirit of a cooperative game. Did I mention we get deep? You have been warned. Enter if you dare….
Hey everyone,
Adam sends us down a rabbit hole with an amazing question about gotcha moments. We position this to Red to describe what some of those things look like in real life and when it is technically acceptable or should at least be expected.
We then swing it back to how it manifests itself in our gaming moments. We try to cover as many aspects of this without coming off like we are telling someone how to play or in relation to any sort of expected behavior.
The complexity of the game almost automatically lends itself to us not expecting to know every single rule or every trick that our opponents can legitimately do. There are ways to ask questions in table talk that can help but that’s just one way and only something you come to with experience after you’ve sort of been exposed to gotcha moments or know that you have your own to spring on folks. That’s just part of the game…
We don’t get to the end of the discussion before having to take a break but this is definitely something we’ll revisit in the future.
The last part of the show we focus on one aspect of how to play test. We try to get our hands on making sure you are actually considering all the variables when you are getting ready to pack up your models and head to the tournament venue.

FTN Episode 391 – MSU vs Horde – What is a better in 9th?
Jun 27, 2021
It looks like we may see a shift in this edition that allows for larger units of base troops. We discuss the virtues or min squads vs max squads and everything in between. We try to figure out if the game is pushing us in one direction or the other.
Hey folks,
Are big units the best? We jump right into a discussion we about what the best unit size is and how that may influence your play style and secondary choices. With the way Sisters and Ad Mech have gotten larger troop unit sizes we also speculate a little bit on what might happen with the Guard.
I think we come down on the side of larger units there is a big case to be made for transports and how their use may influence the squads you ultimately take.
After the break we talk about the real world concerns and implications surrounding team tournaments.
Most of us on the show have a lot of experience with these type of events. We speak about the obstacles that you may not ‘think’ you have to worry about but can greatly contribute to your overall success during these weekends.
Team Tournament contenders need to get good at logistics, HR, project management and a list of other task but even though there are weighty words why is this so fun? Ha!

FTN Episode 390 – How Quickly Should Organized Play Events Adopt FAQs?
Jun 19, 2021
Events around the world are beginning to use the most recently updated FAQs and allow the new codexes. We ask the question ‘when’ should this happen? Should there be a delay from publish to acceptance for independent events? Are we stuck in the past because we don’t allow them at events as soon as they hit the web?
Hey all,
Please note that we do not wish to solve this for any organizers. We just want to talk about it and introduce some talking points and that we strongly feel like the organizers should do what they feel is right for their attendees.
Organizers take all the risks and it is often largely a thankless and zero sum job. They don’t need the additional heartache of trying to predict web releases from Games Workshop.
GW does an amazing job turning around FAQs and making the information available to anyone. If you care to stay up on the latest rulings and clarification you can do so absolutely free on the GW Community page.
Later in the show Paul whines a bit about putting together Iron Stiders but contends they are soooooooo worth it. This use is stellar and with just a little savvy on the table they will work wonders.
Towards the end of the show Adam asks us what our three favorite Heresy Characters are. While this is completely subjective it gives us some pretty cool talking points and it’s always fun to stroll down memory lane remembering these characters and stories.

FTN Episode 389 – Fire Up Those Immolators – Prepare for Dominiation
Jun 13, 2021
We keep going with the Adepta Sororitas codex. We continue to discover the way the Codex plays is a little different than it was before, unit that used to outclass certain army choices now find themselves in competition. This is great, we don’t think you’ll see two Sisters army ever be the same.
Hey all,
As promised we start the show from lasts week’s cliffhanger talking about the Battle Sanctum. I’m kidding about the cliffhanger of course but we spend a little time on this unit. It’s not something to discount out of hand because it’s a terrain piece.
We then talk a little about how a few units have seen some significant improvements and my opinion the ‘most improved is the Dominion Squad. These models get an impressive upgrade with a damage 2 storm bolter with Stratagems that further buff up their damage potential.
It is extremely lethal. It is a bit of a glass cannon strategy but what a cannon… The Dominion squad gets a little razzle dazzle from the olds days being able to scoot up their transport before the game starts. That transport can also be an Immolator.
The Immolator can be a mid field bully unit to be sure. Now it gets a little bit more of a nudge when you can move it’s 18 inch flame cannons a little closer to the enemy. There will be no where they can hide!
We go over a few combos and then close the show out speaking about a couple of our favorite Orders in this new book. Really, this is an elegantly designed dex with lots of options that should keep players entertained for a long time.

FTN Episode 388 – Adepta Sororitas NEW Codex Review – Get Ready For Holy Fire
Jun 05, 2021
Take your first looks at the new Adepta Sororitas codex with us. The Sisters have been a dominant force on the tabletop for a while now and we can expect more of the same – just a little bit differently. The function and synergy from mainstay units has changed a bit and there are new competitive options to throw into the mix that makes the army selection a little more tricky. Take a listen to our initial impressions.
Hey folks,
We have the whole crew back this week thankfully! We head right to the new stuff with the codex. There are some impressive new units that should instantly make their way to your tabletop – or not – I mean.. We aren’t going to tell you how to play!
I’m mostly kidding here but the truth is that the new units have mostly just added NEW ways to play the codex without making the old ways obsolete. This makes me pretty happy.
What we do see is that a few of the built in abilities of the units have been removed from the dataslates seemingly to put more of a focus around the army functioning in layers like we’ve seen with other codexes and less about the units being a complete package all to themselves. Of course there are still some powerhouses but some of the more infantry based squads now need a little support from HQ or Elite units or otherwise work in tandem with your generalship.
The Paragon Warsuits are flashy and powerful, with no doubt but we actually put a lot of attention on the Sacresants. If you haven’t ordered some already you will want to do it now because these will no doubt sell out.
Sisters fans have a lot of look forward to in this codex including impressive Character upgrades similar to what we’ve seen with the Marines and other dexes. Seriously, there isn’t a bad one in the bunch.

FTN Episode 387 – Yes We MeChANicus! – Get Ready To Data Tether
May 29, 2021
We’ve seen some Codexes come out of the gates guns blazing but this one may be the best yet. There is an incredible amount of layers to this codex where you can stack buffs, trade abilities without the sacrifice of much durability. Weirdly though, it seems pretty balanced. You can’t have it all and this codex will have generals scratching their head to figure out the most optimal build.
Hey all,
It’s just Adam and Paul again this week as we’ve had to juggle some scheduled around and people are out of pocket. Thanks for sticking in there with us and the regular folks should be back next week.
It is easy for us to say that ‘everything is good’ but there are tons of strong choices in this codex. You can’t get it all due to points and the ‘brutal’ stuff is seemingly pointed appropriately. Doesn’t mean you won’t see people flocking to a few choices early on though.
The Ironstriders with Las Cannons will be one of these choices. They hit like a ton of bricks from range and can threaten ever square inch of the board. They move fast with a stratagem that allows them to move a little faster so not only will they punch hard they will also help you with board control.
The Skitarri have an increase unit size now with may be one of the biggest stealth upgrades since you can flood the board with fairly point efficient dudes with blasters you can buff with the new Marshal.
We close the show out speaking about the Marshal and how insanely good he is for his buffing ability and gets even more deadly with a Relic. This army looks cool, will be fun to play and you will certainly see it on the tabletop. Will it have what it takes to assault the meta by storm? I think so.

FTN Episode 386 – How Can Your Army Beat Drukhari?
May 22, 2021
Short show this week. Sorry in advance. Even though we were pressed for time we tell you pretty much how every army in the game can take a chunk out of Drukhari. The Drukhari are incredibly powerful, and meanie heads, but all is not lost! You’ll have to listen quick as we burn through the solutions.
Hey folks,
I do apologize in advance for this episode being shorter than we normally run by a few minutes but it was unavailable next week. Tune in next week for a full sized show talking about the Admech.
We elude to it on the show but the Drukhari saw astronomical win percentages over the last couple of weeks but we’re seeing that degrade a bit at the time of recording.
This can be attributed to lots of things but I think the primary thing is that – players are adapting. The hype of the internet is dying down and people are taking some hard looks at what they can change up a little bit in this forces to handle these new threats.
Point 1 – the Drukhari basically fly over everything and come get you or they sprint across the field and engage. This is coupled to the fact they have some deceptive durability with their improved transports. It can present some pretty annoying problems with what most armies have been taking so far in 9th.
We run down a host of factions and detail what we believe to be the best counter to these obstacles.

FTN Episode 385 – Revenge of the PrimOrks
May 15, 2021
We kick the show off talking about the Orks and what they may mean for the range. It’s neat to see the more ‘savage’ side of the range. We discuss a little bit if this will functionally turn into a new way to play or will they be better off as a combined force with the legacy Orks. Probably a mix of both but hey, its fun to speculate.
Hey hey,
The Beast Snaggas will for sure make it onto most Ork table tops if they are good at hunting fast moving vehicles. We don’t know anything about their stats at this point but just the idea of being able to rush across the table and jab a bunch of Drukhari airplanes.
After the break we switch to talking about Sigmar a bit and ooh and ahh over the new models and stats.
It is hard not be excited about the new edition of Sigmar especially since we’ve seen some of the concepts make their way from game into 40k. It will be neat to see if that is still the case this time or just if there are new concepts in this edition or not.
Next week we’ll be back to our standard fare of of tactics and army talks. We will tell you how to stop the evil Dark Eldar.
You don’t want to miss it.

FTN Episode 384 – Was Warhammer Fest 2021 What You Wanted? I’m in Love!
May 08, 2021
We’ve seen a load of reveals this week. It’s staggering to see everything that’s coming out this year. We’ll cover all of it! In this episode we basically oogle over the amazing models coming down the pike and we can’t wait.
Hey folks,
Do you have some favorite models previewed from Warhammer Fest? Those new orks and Gravelords look amazing to me.
We recorded this show before conclusion of the daily event so I have no doubt that we missed stuff so we’ll have to make it up next week.
It sounds like we wrap the show up, because we did, but then we come back with just Paul and Red to talk about the new Tanith figures. We absolutely could not wait another week on that!
While we don’t know much about the rules we also see the Sisters are continuing to have models rolled out for them. These are freaking awesome and this is going to be one of those truly fleshed out ranges that collectors and players and enjoy for years.
Next week we’ll be back to the normal fair!

FTN Episode 383 – Can You Stop The Drukhari Menace?
May 01, 2021
Who can’t love a 75% win percentage? Honestly, the Drukhari are benefiting from being the new codex on the block and do have some great rules. A handful of folks are calling for change but what is really the answer? As always it is a mix of things and we talk about it.
Hey all,
Last weekend the Dark Eldar codex did really well in the few events that did happen around the world. This isn’t surprising for lots of reasons. Some long time tournament sharks switched to the new codex, the codex is new, and not a lot of players have experience against them.
These are just contributing factors though. The codex is strong and the FAQ didn’t do a lot to dull that shine. Should we have expected it to? I don’t think so. The game is an ecosystem. Things are going to appear strong until we as nature, or the environment, figure out a way to deal with it.
Much how Scatter Lasers once ruled the day and then Damage 2 weapons had to be added to answer new marines and then quickly fell back out of favor due to Death Guard, we’re in another pickle. What do we do now?!
Ahhhhh! Honestly that’s part of the fun and just something you have to deal with if you want to play ‘competitively.’
Throw Dice, Have Fun. Later in the show we talk about making 500 point events a thing. Is it possible? Some of us think so.

FTN Episode 382 – Do We Need Active Judges in Organized Play?
Apr 25, 2021
We talk a little bit about tournament prep in this episodes and it leads us to a discussion on the potential need for active judging. Of course we are a long way from large scale organized events but what if.. What if we build back in a different way from where we left off?
Hey folks,
This is an interesting one.. Active Judging means a lot of things to a lot of people. I think a fair number of us still think of our individual experience shared between two people and even when that is nestled in a round of a multi-day tournament. Should what goes on during that game be looked over by a third party?
Sort of in line with the whole episode Paul sits down with Val Hefflefinger to talk about the Rightful Ruler kickstarter going on right now. Please check it out and if you have the means to kick in a few dollars this really might help push broadcasting of organized events even more enriched. You may find some good stuff for your personal games too – both competitive, narrative and casual.
Personally, I do think the idea of active judging when the stakes are high is a good thing. There can be a LOT going on and maybe we could all benefit from a neutral party to help keep us all straight.
Where does it stop though? In the course of most games we are allowed to give grace to our opponents. We let people do a take back every now and then or an out of phase action. Will an active judge let us keep this as part of our experience?
Ultimately this is something that the TO has to decide if they want this to be a part of their tournament culture. We’re adding this to the list of Culture Crafting we plan to talk about soon.

FTN Episode 381 – Can Vehicles Get A Cover Save?
Apr 17, 2021
With the current Keyword can Vehicles receive a benefit of a cover enhanced save? We answer this question and many more on this show. Unless you have a rule book handy right now I guess you’re just going to have to tune in….
Hey all,
A buddy hit me up this week to talk about the differences in cover saves and the things that get them from the previous edition to the this one. We walked through it on the phone but it still didn’t sit ‘right’ with him.
On the show we talk about how cover is largely a Pass/Fail thing in tournament settings. Is that a good thing? It’s easier for us as players but on your home table are you free or empowered to make the rules be whatever you want them to be? The answer is, of course, on that but we don’t get that far into it.
I know we’ve talked a ton about terrain recently but it’s such a huge element of the game I think it’s worth it to continue to riff on it a bit. It’s a chore for some to put it all together, make it look good, and then store it from game to game but we need it!
On the back half of the show we talk about the upcoming changes to the Adeptus Mechanicus weapons previewed on the Warhammer Community page this week.
The changes may seem subtle but we believe they will have a huge impact to the battlefield roles the units currently hold on the battlefield.

FTN Episode 380 – What Is the State Of 40k 9th Edition? – Who Is Getting Games In?
Apr 10, 2021
We have fun with this episode and talk very generally about the state of 40k in this edition. We can’t wait until it’s safer to get out to events again and we spend a little time discussing what changed from 8th that we like the most. We also talk that even with fewer games being played the meta is still shifting.
Hey folks,
There is a point in the show where I completely forgot I used a squad of terminators in 4th Edition for Blood Angels. Other than that brief occurrence of 3 Thunder Hammers and 2 Lightning claws Terminators haven’t been the same since 2nd edition. Ohh my has that changed. Its so cool that even in the world of Primaris Marines that Terminators look like they are here to stay.
We discuss the ‘state of play’ with 40k in this edition and wax on a bit about the things we like the most and what stands out to us about the ways we’ve had to adapt our thought process to account for the biggest changes.
This leads us to a cool conversation about Secondary Objectives and how they are being introduced in Codexes and Supplement books. When these first hit the scene there was a brief outcry to disallow these things from matched play events. I’m so thankful this hasn’t taken hold.
I believe these things are going to help players feel like they have a fighting chance when they roll up to any and all tables. That isn’t something you can say from all missions in previous editions.
Games Workshop is seemingly no longer turning a ‘blind eye’ to competitive plat. Honestly I don’t think they ever did. I think the rules sets are getting a little tighter and we are getting closer to having a – dare I sat it – Balanced Game.

FTN Episode 379 – Is the Book of Rust a Must Have – Yep
Apr 03, 2021
I guess I shouldn’t answer the question to the catchy title in the title but hey… maybe I saved you a click. If you play the factions represented in the Book of Rust you know you want it. For others, what you’ll find is a really well thought out book with a lot of cool lore, campaign ideas and awesome art. Get it!
Hey all,
I play two of the factions represented in the Book of Rust and I couldn’t be more pleased. With the Adeptus Mechanicus we see some pretty nice upgrades to struggling units and army types.
For the Death Guard we see a way of playing that doesn’t (and also prohibited from if that matters) center around Mortarion. I love playing with the giant figures but they aren’t for everyone. Some folks don’t prefer using them and some people prefer not to play against them. Either way – the rules presented for Death Guard here are pretty novel and allow for a style of play that harks back to when the idea of a Chaos Legion came about as a powerful concept all the way back in 3rd edition. (3.5)
The same idea holds true with the Admech. The concepts here give what I consider the minimum amount of rules buffing to add a WHOLE new playable list type back to the faction. I like playing with the Robots and happen to have a fair amount painted so my eyes list up when I got a chance to look at the rules. The rules are good, but not too good. Why does this matter? I think people will be pleased and not feel like they were a victim or benefactor of codex creep. It feels weird to even type this!
We kick off the talk about a potential overpowered thing with the Druhkari being able to stack multiple on top of multiple for attacks from a single character model. Wow.. this could be big but I honestly don’t read it the way that some people are reading it that benefit from certain interpretations. With that said – I do see where they are coming from so I’d put this point on FAQ Watch.
Watch this space for more hobby stuff.

FTN Episode 378 – Will Codex Drukhari Change The Game? Codex Review Part 2
Mar 28, 2021
We dive deeper into Codex Drukhar this week exploring many of the changes and new things possible from the new codex. There is a lot that’s different. Squad sizer requirements might be a big deal. We think the book has a lot of teeth but it won’t be easy to use.
Hey folks,
The codex is a scalpel. You won’t be able to clumsily slog through a game with two big blobs of Grotesques in this book. The Dark Eldar are back to be super sleep and super deadly but in my opinion you’ll need a lot of practice to find the right combos and mix of each unit on the table top.
I honestly feel like this is what the game ‘should be’ anyway and the core of my opinion is that the Drukhari have lot of tools. When the game changes around them they will be able to hang in there an adapt right out of this codex.
We’ll end up seeing more vehicles on the table out of this army than we’ve seen in a while. Long time players may be able to take their Venoms right off the shelf and put them on the table. This is a very similar thing Craftworld players have been able to do with their Wave Serpents.
We kick the show off with a Hobby Segment once again talking about when and how to seal your models. If you don’t do it yet.. do it!
The key is finding a method that you can work into your hobby routine or is the best for your average climate. I know I’ve got a squad I’ve been waiting to seal until Spring. HA!

FTN Episode 377 – GW Preview Reactions and Drukhari Review Part 1
Mar 21, 2021
The hottest of hot takes on this episode right here… We waited to record until directly after the Games Workshop preview on Saturday. I’m g lad we did, we saw a ton of brand new miniatures. Will this new Ork change the game?! We also run down our initial thoughts on the new Drukhari Codex.
Hey all,
There is a lot to go over from the GW preview. We saw releases across the board and I can honestly say I think I want to buy it all. It’s a blessing and a curse, ha!
Necromunda isn’t incredibly big in my area but it has dedicated followers and we have a consistent play group. I’ve always been a fan of the Redemptionist and the new figures do not disappoint. I can’t wait to get them in my hands. On the show we also talk about other uses for some of these incredible models.
The Sisters are getting a new model we didn’t even know they needed. It looks like they are getting some sort of Predator variant. The Sisters have no shortage of models but it’s neat to see the range so fleshed out and no doubt adding to their army build variations.
After the break we jump into our initial thoughts on the Drukhari codex. Red is a long time player of the faction and has plenty of things to share.
The additional rules around the Blades For Hire keyword and special rules will absolutely please long time players have that struggled to fit in beloved units that didn’t benefit from Army rules in the past and had hence been left on the shelves. No More!

FTN Episode 376 – Do New Models Mean New Rules? We Hope So!
Mar 14, 2021
Be’lakor is back in a big way. I promise that’s not a pun. This model is the latest from the Daemon line to get a massive makeover. This begs the question – will we see new rules? We hope so. In this episode we talk about the model but then drift off into the lore..
Hey folks,
I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 100 times – The game is better when we have strong bad guys that can handle the the strong good guys. We all know that Marines will always be the focus of the lore and they drive tons of sales on the model side. That’s cool with me.
That doesn’t mean there is some mandate to make them better rules wise, of course though. I think the game is much more enjoyable on some tangible level when the bad guys give as good as they can get. Is this model going to be what sets off that powder keg? I hope so.
We discuss the origins of Be’lakor model wise originally being from Warhammer Fantasy Battle and eventually making his way to 40k.
It’s so cool that we can have these amazing Daemon models in both game sets. I know I plan to magnetize the casualty on his base in order to give him the ability to pull double duty.
We got the fact about the first female Necron wrong last week. Thanks a lot for keeping us honest, folks. We make that correction in this episode.

FTN Episode 375 – Do You Have To Worry About Heavy Intercessors?
Mar 06, 2021
We kick off the show talking about Heavy Intercessors and their impact on the game. Like many of the Marine units they are a big deal for certain Chapters. We spend a little time talking about where these fit in as must-haves. Later we talk about a cool new lore tidbit for the Necrons.
Hey all,
If you play Imperial Fists of Ultramarines I can see you being pretty excited for these Heavy Intercessors. They synch really well with those Chapter Traits. These have been the missing piece in a few potential list builds and should end up being pretty powerful on the tabletop.
Another standout use is the Deathwatch. With the Heavy Intercessors being a troop choice if you’re a player of one of these Chapters you should ask yourself ‘why not’ if you aren’t considering these.
Sadly the price point of Pariah Nexus will prevent them from being a ‘value buy’ from those looking to nab and split the box on the reseller sites. You’ll end up paying close to retail to get these on your table early. I’m sure a full separate release isn’t far behind but I know a lot of players enjoy these windows where they can pick up new models on the cheap sometimes.
Later in the show we talk about how these new Necron Cryptek is referred to as a she. I mean.. of course there were female Necrontyr but I guess we never thought about it. The Necrons are becoming a force to be reckoned with on the tabletop and I think we’ve just scratched the surface on their lore.
We round out the show talking about things and games we could wish into existence.

FTN Episode 374 – What Happens When World’s Collide? MTG and 40k? YES!!
Feb 27, 2021
Exciting news from Wizards of the Coast and Games Workshop this week with the announcement of Warhammer 40k IP is coming to the Magic the Gathering format. Wow. I guess I always wanted this and never knew it. I’m prepared to tippity tap my way to your face – and ears on this podcast.
Hey folks,
It is pretty strange when two giants of intellectual property and fandoms come together like this. I wasn’t sure how I felt at first. The purist in me clutched my pearls, as it were, but the more I thought about the more I was interested.
The idea of having a complete 40k based Magic experience seems pretty cool to me. I plan to buy it and I hope it’s supported in a way that gives it some life in the form of being able to break this out every now and then to play with my friends or kids for years to come.
I don’t mind saying that I hope it keeps the same land/color mechanic so I can use 40k lands in my Magic decks. I don’t play very frequently at all but when I do… I’d like to tap the Emperor’s Palace to cast Ravages of War.
We ooh and ahh over the Cursed City figures a bit more later in the show.
After that we go into full speculation mode about the Drukari and what we hope they bring to the table. Adam goes deep in the tank theory crafting what a glass cannon in 9th will look like. Red is a long time DE player and has some thoughts as well.

FTN Episode 373 – Dan Abnett – What Does It Mean To Write War?
Feb 20, 2021
Dan Abnett joins us this episode for an wonderful segment on how war has influenced writing and culture since we’ve had the finer skills of capturing it. He is absolutely amazing and you don’t want to miss this show if you are fan literature. Thanks so much for coming on, Dan!
Hey all,
Mr. Abnett takes off like a rocket and we get to hear his thoughts on how war has influenced literature through the modern era. I don’t want to give away any spoilers on what he has to say but I think your ears are in for a treat.
Dan has such a wealth of knowledge on the subject and is a true master of his craft. We try our best to ask questions we think will lure some of that knowledge out of his but in truth Dan needs no help. We are blessed with his ability to share thoughts and it’s so cool that it comes out on the podcast as well.
I think this is wonderful conversation and I hope it inspires readers to look a little deeper into the Black Library novels – or novels in general – if they weren’t already. We love Dan’s style but this sort of meaty and tangible sense of scale is something that is present in so many of the BL books.
We don’t discuss any of his current works specifically so go into it know that – to the best of my knowledge this is completely spoiler free.
I sincerely thank Dan for his time and can’t wait to catch up with him again in the future. In the back half of the show we keep the lore train rolling with a bit of good spirited satire.

FTN Episode 372 – The Dark Angels Rock – See What I Did There?
Feb 13, 2021
We’re getting into the nitty gritty with the Dark Angels this week and hitting a few of the things we didn’t get to last week. The book is good and there are lots of ways to play them. It’s time to get those models on the table!
Hey folks,
The Dark Angels will be incredibly hard to beat. They have durability we haven’t seen since people had 2+ re-rollable saves. I’m kidding. It’s not that bad but this codex has the ability to put some serious brick units on the able. The only thing you have to determine is which of them you like best.
It’s awesome to have these options. Deathwing was a meme army for two decades and now – whao.. Players who’ve treasured the lore and their collections this whole time are definitely getting rewarded.
The Ravenwing has been outclassed by other marine bike armies in the past and I think we all scratched our head a bit wondering why. Well.. wonder no longer. This Wing gets a lot of love too. We talk about some crafty ways to deny your opponent some points while racking them up yourself.
In the final moments of the show we talk about kitbashing the easy build models. It’s easier than you may think!
With a single multi part kit you can build some truly unique models. A few snips and slices and you’re well on your way with a personalized army even with the single pose figs. Give it a try.

FTN Episode 371 – Are You Ready For The Dark Angels? They Are Ready For You!
Feb 06, 2021
Holy Smokes! The Dark Angels are going to take the tabletop by storm. Any long time fan of this Chapter should instantly fall back in love with them all over again. This codex has depth, power, elegance and more fun options than you can shake a stick at.
Hey all,
Adam could barely contain himself speaking about Dark Angels this week and for good reason. Want to play Deathwing? You can. Want to play Ravenwing? Yep, no problem. Want to play Stormwing? You betcha. You can do this all with confidence as well as these armies seem to have what it takes to hold their own on the battle field.
If you already have these archetypes in your collection then you will be ready to hit the ground running as soon as you get this book in your hands. There are some incredibly powerful things in this book in the form of Relics, ready made Special Characters and powerhouse DIY leaders.
The Dark Angels are unique in the fact that their ‘super doctrine’ advances with them through the first three turns of the game The effect changes a bit each turn but wow.. it’s all good.
The only struggle will be remembering to use all the rules! Grim Resolve comes into play in some pretty novel ways that should make for cool flavorful interactions on the tabletop. I love it when theme gets represented in the rules.
I hope you all caught us representing the Las Vegas nOpen this past week. The folks behind the scenes kept us running for three days straight and I had a blast. Steve Joll sang us out in the most spectacular way. Check it out!

FTN Episode 370 – What Was Your Favorite Model From The GW Preview?
Jan 29, 2021
Do you have a favorite model from the GW preview? I am continually impressed with the quality of the sculpts and the frequency in which we are seeing these amazing things. The preview was a little light on 40k but hey… We did get a teaser for the next Warhammer Quest and I can’t wait!

FTN Episode 369 – Is Mortarion Too Good? Hot or Not? Death Guard Codex Review
Jan 23, 2021
The Death Guard are hitting people’s hands today and man oh man – This is what a Primarch is supposed to be. Men tremble where this monster steps. He is the lord of plagues and the reaper of men. Wow. But is it too good? We don’t really answer that question but we do answer why he will be on a lot of tables. This is our review of the Death Guard codex.
Hey all,
Chaos has always sort of been the little brother of the Imerpium. It had cool rules but always in that ‘rival’ category. Not any longer! This is our review of some of the highlights from the Death Guard codex. It’s amazing. This dex is a serious contender right out of the gate and not just due to the Daemon Primarch. There is a lot of power in this book. Strap in!
The Las Vegas nOpen is this coming weekending! Check out the schedule here. Please get some Merch if you can! You can grab a t-shirt and other goodies at the link here. If you order yours by Jan 15th you can have it in time for the event! We’ll have raffles and stuff coming too and as special giveaways for people that use the #lvno leading up to and during the broadcast. There are ton of amazing people partnered to make this happen. Please join us if you can.
What’s really cook about the DG is that you can make a case for many of the signature DG units. Do you like playing with terminators? Throw them in a list. Do you like the idea of a legion of troops advancing through the mist in the iconic Rhino? You got it! Want to have the gibbering mouths of chaos nipping at the enemy? Ohh boy… take 10.
This Codex is crowned by one of the most glorious giant models in any game – the Primarch Mortarion. He is everything you would hope him to be. He buffs your army while striking terror in the hearts of your opponent. He belches plague and ruin as he glides across the field. Yes, please.
This will be an incredibly strong army to face on the table. On the surface read it seems like it will be great at winning 9th edition games. Meaning you will have durable troops camping on objectives and daring anyone to come close. Once they come close, they will never get away!

FTN Episode 368 – 40k FAQ Review and How To Get Started With Terrain?
Jan 17, 2021
We give a brief run down of the major 40k FAQ changes we saw last week. There are TON of changes and point updates but rather than go over the whole shebang we hit the highlights and will discuss the changes as they come up in future episodes. We talk about 40k terrain in the back half of the show and ‘when to splurge.’ Let’s go!
Hey folks,
Don’t forget we’ll be talking about the Las Vegas nOpen. This is an amazing project undertaken by some dedicated broadcasters and streamers. This is going to be an absolute blast. Please check out the website and mark your calendars.
Please get some Merch if you can! You can grab a t-shirt and other goodies at the link here. If you order yours by Jan 15th you can have it in time for the event! We’ll have raffles and stuff coming too and as special giveaways for people that use the #lvno leading up to and during the broadcast. There are ton of amazing people partnered to make this happen. Please join us if you can.
The FAQ did actually answer some Frequently Asked Questions this time. There are lots of subtle but impactful changes. The change to scoring objectives in the last half of the last turn is freaking awesome and we don’t say enough good things about it. I think the game is well on its way to becoming less of a ‘go first to win’ situation.
After the break we jump into our first discussion on how to start your own terrain collection. This is such a weird topic. Of course we all want crazy good terrain on our tables but how do we justify the cost and the time? The answer is – you get to decide that for yourself.
We strongly encourage you to be strategic with how you tackle the terrain question. First and foremost please remember it needs to perform a function on the table. Don’t go out and spend a ton only to find out you didn’t actually enhance your play experience. Then, set a budget. Buy what you can when you can and don’t beat yourself up about it.

FTN Episode 367 – Do You Make Decisions In A Vacuum? How To Avoid It
Jan 10, 2021
Sometimes we don’t know what we don’t know and there is nothing we can do about that… Or is there? We go through a thought exercise about falling back on what we do know to help us dig ourselves out of tight situations. Later in the show we talk about the timeline retcon happening at the Black Library.
Hey all,

We’ll have raffles and stuff coming too and as special giveaways for people that use the #lvno leading up to and during the broadcast. There are ton of amazing people partnered to make this happen. Please join us if you can.
We speak a little about decision making in this show. With the volumes of information you’re expected to just ‘know’ when playing 40k at a competitive level can you ever know it all? Probably not but that shouldn’t be a daunting thing. You’ve likely amassed enough information to be just fine. Realizing it’s time to use it and how to apply it is the real trick.
We believe that an information vacuum is more of a perception issue than a reality. Are we right? How close did we get on this subject?
At the back of the show we talk about the time line unskip at the Black Library. This is interesting because we haven’t seen this sort of thing at BL before. so why are we seeing it now? Ultimately its a low impact change but it might be the tip of the iceberg for something cool yet to come. I’m crossing my fingers.

We kick the show off nominating our favorite models from 2020 to the unofficial hall of fame. We recorded our list before GW published their poll results. Its neat to see how close we were to our thoughts and yalls. There were a lot of stellar things released last year.
In the middle and back half of the show we talk about paint tutorials in general but also specifically about those features in the White Dwarf magazine.
The big take away is that when you’re looking at tutorials its not always about the specific miniature but also about the color or technique itself. If you can’t find ‘exactly’ what you’re looking for you might be able to find something you can co-opt for your own project.

FTN Episode 365 – This Episode is Not About Warhammer 40k! – sort of
Dec 26, 2020
We divert briefly into nerd culture for the first half of the show. We get to the fun thing where a group of friends discover one of the friends has a gap in their knowledge about something nerdy. So we do what happens so frequently in our scene (for the better) and fill them in on it. No gate keeping in this episode. Later we have a vendor spotlight segment and then we talk about the fallacy of list building.
Hey all,
We kick the show off talking about the Las Vegas nOpen. This is an amazing project undertaken by some dedicated broadcasters and streamers. This is going to be an absolute blast. Please check out the website and mark your calendars.
One of the coolest things about our culture, specifically geek culture, is that we are so happy to talk about the things we’re passionate about. Adam gives Paul and Red the perfect opportunity to pass along something we care about.
This was cool because the door was cracked open by a simple question and then Red and Paul got to learn about a cool thing they shared, exchanged information and more importantly, got to pass on something super cool to Adam. Hopefully…
In the middle of the show Jay from Discount Games Inc. joins us to talk about how he’s handled the COVID crisis and to also share how much he appreciates the support from our listeners. We definitely support shopping local but when you can spread it around or don’t have a local shop please frequent the most excellent online retailers. Jay is definitely one of those.
The last half of the show we talk about how quickly we are to criticize lists we see online. I think we’re all prone to do it but we peek behind the curtain and talk about what we think is the best way to engage on some of this stuff.

FTN Episode 364 – Should You Sub to the Official Warhammer App?
Dec 19, 2020
We kick off this show talking about the major quality of life updates/improvements to the Warhammer 40,000 app recently. Some of us don’t have it yet and we discuss both sides of the coin. Tanya Gates joins us for this show as well. Later in the show we talk about representation in the hobby.
Hey all,
The Warhammer App launched out of the gate with a serious limp but it’s getting better. The Battle Forge – army list builder – is now live after a major update and we sort of discuss ‘is it good?’
I’m a subscriber of the app but not everyone on the show is convinced. I think ultimately that’s okay and I don”t think we should try to convince them. I sort of close out the conversation with an observation that people who have subscribed thus far are sort of agreeing to go along for the ride with Games Workshop with the promise that it will work out just fine. I have complete faith that it will but does the current functionality justify the subscription cost?
Ultimately that is a question for the consumer. This is a complete ‘nice to have’ and not critical to anyone’s hobby experience. if it’s not in your hobby budget that’s completely okay. If you’re waiting until it’s perfect and 100% ready for prime time that’s okay too. I’d like to hear about what would help you consider it to be 100% . What features do you absolutely want to see/demand?
Later in the show we talk about a difficult topic of representation in the hobby. Tanya Gates – of Be Nice Roll Dice – joins us to help us work our way through it. She helps us make sense with her perspective on inclusion in the hobby. We ask about how much the actual models themselves help/hurt the issue and get some high level tips on how we can all make it better.
We also talk a little bit about hobby resolutions as we move to close out this crazy year. I know it feels like a long way off before anything will change but we still sort of consider the end of the year as a way to turn the page. ca

FTN Episode 363 – Will Death Guard Make a Nasty Splash?
Dec 12, 2020
Death Guard have been delayed, as we all know, but there are plenty of things to talk about. We talk about the Disgustingly Resilient change and leads us to some feedback from Adam. Later in the episode we talk about keeping our skills sharp while not being able to play as many games.
Hey folks,
Disgustingly Resilient has been a Death Guard staple for a while now. Is the change from what we knew as a Feel No Pain to damage reduction an actual nerf? In some ways yes, it is. You don’t get the ability to ignore Mortal Wounds any more. In other ways it absolutely isn’t. You’re going to be able to shrug off a lot of what people are packing these days to deal with the presence of Space Marines.
When the tournament meta develops d2 weapons will be everywhere. Death Guard don’t care about them at all as that means you’ll need double the shots to make up for this DR change.
Still, this tee’d up a pretty spot on bit of feedback from Adam C on the show. Does the reduction in feel no pain across the game give too much of an advantage to the armies that still have it?
The truth is we don’t know how prevalent in the game it will be since we know we have plenty of additional codexes to see as this edition develops.
As long as it exists for the ‘mega factions’ in the game where appropriate maybe it will balance itself out? I’m hopeful. Orks and Tyranids need a LOT of help this edition and I hope they get it.

FTN Episode 362 – Blood Angels, Oh How I Love Thee
Dec 04, 2020
This episode is basically a love note to the Blood Angels. The Codex Supplement is going to make a huge impact on this edition. Towards the end of 8th the Blood Angels got really good. This is a continuation of that and if this is your army, you are going to be happy.
Hey all,
In this episode we talk all Blood Angels all the time. Stephen Box from Vanguard Tactics joins us early in the show to run down his initial thoughts on this great supplement.
We can all breath a sigh of relief knowing that the Sanguinary Guard are simply amazing still. They do everything you want them to do and their point values don’t break the bank. They suffer a bit from not being Primaris Marines but that is there the downside stops.
You can make a case for basically everything in the Elite slot making it a very crowded option. This is a good thing as it is great for collecting lots of different units and giving you a host of different things you can rotate through on the table keeping your experience fresh.
The Troops slot benefits a TON from the new Assault Intercessors and if you’re a long time BA player and you haven’t picked these up yet, you’re gonna want them.
You’re going to hear a lot of people making comparisons to what is ‘best’ in this book and take heart – different opinions can both be right. Mephiston is good. The Librarian Dreadnought is good. Death Company are good. Inceptors are good.. The list goes on and on. In the early days of this book do yourself a favor and just have fun with it. I know I will.

FTN Episode 361 – Deathwatch and Space Wolf Army List Ideas – Which is Stronger?
Nov 28, 2020
Don’t worry.. The Blood Angels episode is coming soon. I hope to have a special surprise next week as well. Until then let us know what you think about these Deathwatch and Space Wolves army list ideas. They Marines have it all and these Chapters bring even more to the party.
Hey folks,
We make good on our claim that the Deathwatch are just beginning to bloom and will continue to evolve and add to the meta for a long time to come. They have the unique ability (at this time) to have more than 3 Outriders, Eradicators and Eliminators in a squad.
If those three units had any downsides at all it was the low model count. No more! Ha, this is a nice little bonus for Deathwatch players and I have no doubt this will make an impact in their games.
Towards the beginning of the show we have a very special vendor spotlight from a friend of the show and Kickstarter creator. Gary Krieger is a super cool guy and I hope you check out their latest Kickstarter here.
I’ve heard a lot of blow back from Space Wolves players and I honestly feel like this is just because the book is ‘different.’ It not only challenges how lists were made recently it changes a lot about what people expect from Space Wolves lore. I don’t think this is a bad thing.
It wasn’t to this extreme but people felt very similarly when Thunder Wolves first hit the scene and if they weren’t so crazy powerful they wouldn’t have been so quickly adopted. We’re in the same boat now but since things aren’t as extreme power wise it may take a bit before people ease into this new paradigm.

FTN Episode 360 – From the North The Space Wolves Come Forth
Nov 21, 2020
Space Wolves are back in a big way. If this is any indication of the future of Marine supplements I am very hopeful for the BA, DA and the rest. A lot off the fun and unique qualities of the Space Wolves come out in the base data sheets and the Stratagems. What do you think?
Hey all,
I think the Space Wolves have everything they need to create dynamic army lists and there is a lot of depth to this book. If you want to shoot you can shoot, if you want to assault you can assault. Do you like Psychic Powers? They have you there too.
We don’t all feel the same ways on the show though.. What do you think?
Personally I think long term Space Wolves players are really going to enjoy their collection. There seems to be ways to build either a take all comers style list or to really focus down and load up on one particular play style or another.
The codex seems to go a slight different way than maybe we expected with the index published a few weeks ago but it’s not bad, it’s just different. We should see a big return of Thunder Wolf Calvary and Wolf Lords on the Thunder Wolves too.
We may see the special characters sidelined in this book in favor of people making their own custom HQs. That’s not bad either since now for the first time ever the Space Wolves have Successor Chapters. Are you kidding me?!

FTN Episode 359 – Will You Serve In the Deathwatch?
Nov 15, 2020
We crack open the Deathwatch codex this week and talk about a few of the changes and a few things you may see on the tabletop. In the back of the show we talk a little lore. It’s interesting that the Deathwatch have become a fully fledged codex backed up by the full book of Marine things.
Hey everyone,
The Corvus Blackstar is a divisive unit. Most people either love it or hate it with no in between just due to the way it looks. I’m not the biggest fan but Red points out on the show that it looks very similar to the crafts from Aliens the movie. I can see that and I bet this is part of the reasons that folks have the feelings they do.
The rules for it have never been too bad but it’s just funny how people barely ever talk about the rules, just how it looks.
We do spend most of the show talking about the Deathwatch and it does seem like these guys have gone from a ‘fringe ally unit’ to a fully functional army. The modeling opportunities are there and now the rules stack up. I bet we see folks expanding their collections or dipping into this faction now that they get access to everything from the Marines.
Paul talks a little bit about his painting journey with the Silent King. Pics are up on twitter @warmaster_tpm and on Instagram as fightswithdice
Going into the holidays can be a stressful time and even more stressful with what the world is going through right now. We hope you’re keeping safe and sane out there. Feel free to hit us up in chat if you want some good hobby vibes.

FTN Episode 358 – What Forge World Units are Coming Back o the Table?
Nov 07, 2020
We kick this episode off talking about a few of the Forge World units you’ll see making their way back to the tabletop. Some old favorites and maybe some old ones we hope to see. In the second half of the show we talk about how Ork and Necron lore overlap. You just might learn something!
Hey all,
I personally own a Fire Raptor Gun Ship and used it towards the early days of 8th. It then fell off the radar as the edition progressed and it got a huge point spike from the first big FAQ we saw. Now.. It just might be back.
Heavy Bolters are no joke and this bad boy can pump out a deluge of Damage 2 fire. It a huge target and people will want to shoot at it just because it looks so cool. Is it worth putting in your list knowing that AND having to spend a Command Point to included in your list? I guess that’s the question.
The Marines likely have enough threats to where you could cause some target confusion for your opponent or you just invest more Command Points in this thing to keep it alive. I do think it’s worth it and look forward to getting it on the table a few more times. We also talk about Hornets at the top of the show. Man oh man, I hope to pick off many a Space Marine with these.
After the break we talk about the Orks and their relationship to the Brain Boyz. We throw in an honorable mention to the Krorks as well. This is a bit of lore I was weak on and it was cool to do a little internet research.
Are Orks your favorite Mushroom?

FTN Episode 357 – Player Spotlight Interview and We Lament About FW Legends
Oct 31, 2020
In the first part of the show Paul is joined by PleasantKenobi who has recently gotten back into Warhammer but is an avid Magic the Gathering content producer and player. I had a great time chatting with him and am a fan of his content as well. In part two of the show Red, Adam and Paul go on a jaunty random ride. Buckle up!
Hey folks,
It’s really cool to find people out there in the world who are into similar things that you are. It’s kind of the reason we do this thing! We have so many shared experiences with likes with people we’ve never met before. I continue to love that about this hobby and gaming hobbies in general. This is the first time I’ve spoken with PleasantKenobi but we were able to jump right into the conversation because of this great hobby of ours. I hope you enjoy it as well.
He’s not afraid to share his opinion and for me, it’s nice to hear from someone jumping both feet into Warhammer 40k and really seeing what it’s all about with fresh eyes. If you are not already familiar with his content please check Vince out here.
In part 2 of the show the boys and I basically roam around a half hour of super charged hobby content. By super charged I mean randomness that basically rolled right out of our brains and into our faces.
We talk about the meaning of Legend rules from Forge World as the primary topic but it gets us on to a brief discussion about the Siege of Terra novels and how are favorite characters are portrayed.
We talk about GW models and Counts As forces and we manage to slip in a must have hobby tip for people who love Contemptor Dreads. I know I do.. I’m anxiously awaiting to see how they are treated in the Forge World Compendium.

For anyone who has read this far down we’ve recorded the first video with myself and Oscar Lars where we review a listener submitted model. It should be produced and ready to go mid November. Please keep checking back and if you have a model you’d like us to review for how it would stack up vs the Battle Ready standard and the Artists Standard, hit us up in a private message with a pic.

FTN Episode 356 – Interview With Games Workshop and the Future of Events
Oct 24, 2020
Mike Brandt from Games Workshop joins me this week to talk about the current and future state of official AND independent events. Obviously with the way the world is right not we can’t get too deep into specifics because there are so many unknowns. It is nice to see that it’s still a focus and it makes me even more hopeful about things to come. Then.. me and da boyz talk about Ork Kommandos.
Hey all,
I am very pleased to welcome Mike Brandt back to the show this week and this time he’s part of Games Workshop! We’re incredibly fortunate to be able to have him on.
We talk about what we hope and dream about events going forward. We talk a little bit about the challenges they are up against now. We also speak to the fact that independent events are still going to be encouraged and possibly thrive even more when we actually get to gather in large numbers again.
After that segment Adam, Red and Paul talk about the practical application of Ork Kommandos. These units got a stealth upgrade just by the nature of this edition. Get it.. Stealth Upgrade? For Kommandos.. I’ll see myself out.
For just a handful of points you can all but guarantee yourself a few points doing a game. Kommands are incredibly themey for Orks as well. The finecast kit may not be easy to come by but thankfully it’s pretty easy to cobble these guys together from the Ork plastic kits as well.
I am incredibly jazzed to continue to riff on Orks for the entire month. We’ll be doing it again next week talking about the Battle for Armageddon and the Beast Arises saga. You don’t want to miss this.

FTN Episode 355 – How Many Squig Types Can You Name? They’re All Cuties
Oct 17, 2020
We do a little better job with our Orktober coverage this week and kick off the show with a few facts about Squigs. These are from the early days of 40k. We continue on to talk about Necrons. Also.. bonus question before the show begins. Can you guess Ghaz’s original Wargear?
Hey folks,
Sometimes we don’t do the best job remembering that we are lore junkies too. We get deep into the ancient text this week and go all the way back to Ere We Go! Orktober is in full effect this month.
I found a cool video where a youtuber created an Ork fort out of old boxes and his scrap bits. I’ll stick the link in the bottom of this post. It’s pretty rad and I like how his style made it seem attainable and photo ready all at the same time.
We talk a little Silent King in this episode too. This amazing model has some fabulous lore behind and while we do chat just a tad bit about the rules we focus more on how he plugs into the overall Necron story.
Adam suggests that every character in 40k who can’t be alive right now be killed off in the stories. Okay, he doesn’t do that but we do sort of make fun of him and twist his words to suggest so. What do you think about that? Do you prefer the characters live on or have an unknown conclusion so you can play it out in games or does you mind need that concrete conclusion?
I played my first game this weekend with the new Blood Angel FAQ supplement where we lose a ton of stuff. Man.. It’s different. We’ll catch up with that on the next episode.

FTN Episode 354 – Is the New Necron Codex Good? Bonus Orktober Coverage too!
Oct 10, 2020
Red takes center stage this episode as we take a serious look at what this week’s new Necron codex brings to this faction. This is the most compelling the Necrons have ever been. Tons more options, tons more flavor, but is it good? No matter what the answer to that question is it is a whole new life for Necron players and we’re excited.
Hey everyone,
I know there is a ton of Marine coverage out there and we will certainly get to those but we couldn’t resist going right for the Necons to see if they have what it takes to become the new super bad faction in the Warhammer Universe.
The Necrons absolutely have some heavy hitters with the Nightbringer being a super star. Super Star God that is… See what i did? This guy has all the rules you need to get a ton of play out of this dude and if you’re a long time collector and have him on your shelf already then you will be incredibly happy.
Necron Warriors will make a serious come back as well. There are some fairly subtle new faction traits that help the warriors control the momentum of the game with some really relevant shooting. Death by 1000 cuts is what the Warriors will excel at. You’ll never regret taking these as long as you master their movement tricks.
The Necrons may suffer from not enough units having the Core keyword. We don’t talk about this on the show but I want to put it out there as warning. When you’re building your lists make sure the synergies are not overly reliant on you needing this.
After the break we kick off our Orktober coverage. We talk about taking Battle Wagons and Trukks to keep yourself alive in this deadly edition. Next week we’re going to focus on obscure Ork lore. Weird.. I know.. it’s time to get Narrative.

FTN Episode 353 – Chaos Can Beat Space Marines – Will You Serve the Dark Gods?
Sep 26, 2020
Chaos is good but you have to work for it. Sort of fitting for the succor of the dark gods right? It looks all simple at first and then you find yourself staying up all night painting new units! TJ Lannigan joins the regular cast today to talk about his favorite subject – Chaos…
Hey folks,
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Strong bad guys makes for an exciting game. Chaos are one of the major evil super factions in this game and it’s so nice to hear there is still life in this faction.
We talk about what’s been working for TJ and get pretty deep in the weeds on Command Point strategies and synergies. Thanks for indulging us while we take these strolls through the super combos.
I mention up top that Chaos needs a little work to be ‘good’ and it does. We’re just starting to realize how the landscape of the game is changing and that evolution is busting open the door to what lists are viable. I’m a big believer in playing what you want to play but sometimes we have to show our friends that the old boss is still the new boss and play some heavy hitting stuff.
I was especially happy to hear that the Great Unclean One was making an appearance on the table top again. I absolutely love this glorious model and look forward to painting up a few more Nurgle squads in the near future.
In the second part of the show we round out the Chaos talk and then jump to a hobby segment where we talk about the dreaded Mold Lines. They creep up when you least suspect it all the time. The time to address them is when you see it. It may be painful to scrape down a surface that’s already been painted but you’ll always feel better once you’ve fixed it. Send us some pics!

Well crap.. I already told you about the hobby segment that normally goes in this space. I’ll be on an episode of Lorehammer coming up soon. It’s a blast to talk to those guys and I’m very thankful to be invited to their broadcast.

FTN Episode 352 – Is Warhammer 40k Being Rocked to the Core?!
Sep 19, 2020
We see a HUGE change coming down the pike for Warhammer 40k in the form of what or who Characters can buff on the table top. Is this really a big deal though? In the cases of the characters buffing themselves, I think it is. For the other stuff in the army? Maybe not.
Hey all,
It’s always pretty exciting when we hear about sweeping changes. The idea that Characters may be further limited in what they can extend the sweet auras we’ve come to rely on is no exception.
We talk about what this change may actually impact. The biggest loss to me is the Daemon Prince. I guess the DP is ‘too good’ as it stands now and maybe this is a good change? I don’t know yet. I know any sort of change is both fun and terrorizing if it’s happening to you.
This will be an interesting debate as we challenge what Characters we consider good going forward. For a few I think it will be business as usual. We don’t take things like Phobos Lts or Overlords because of what they do to themselves anyway. I think we do rely on them to buff other Characters but from what it looks like – that is right out!
Does this help the game be more user/new player friendly? I don’t know. I think changes like this should be focused on that sort of outcome. That’s a topic for another show.
After the break we talk about how cool it would be see more 80s action icons make there way into the Catachan line up.

FTN Episode 351 – Are 40k Tanks Realistic? We Ask An Expert
Sep 11, 2020
It turns out we have a resident expert on Tanks and we’ve never asked him about them until now! Come listen to a world of tanks conversation. On this episode we showcase three contributors to the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation too. Come check us out on the NOVA Open Twitch channel this weekend as we host their Virtual Lounge Final Hours Event!
Hey folks,
This weekend we are helping host the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation Virtual Lounge. We’ll be live on Twitch talking about the amazing things they have up for raffle this year and it will be chock full of live commentary from Adam and Paul and a host of guest appearance coming to us via video.
In the first segment of the show we thought we were going to give a few predictions for the Games Workshop preview but we ended up getting super nerdy about tanks.
I am delighted talk about the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation on this episode too. This is an extremely worth while cause and this year we’re doing something special – we’re hosting their Virtual Lounge. While we can’t be at the NOVA Open all together we can bring some fun stuff to the comfort of your own home.
We are joined by three extremely special guests in the middle of this episode – We speak with Brent Amberger from Goobertown Hobbies, Oscar Lars from Oscar Lars Painting and Duncan Rhodes from the Duncan Rhodes Painting Academy. These wonderful painters and content creators have raffles up for grabs right now. I’d be proud to own anything these guys have worked on.
After the artist break we come back and give a little prediction on what we’ll see from the Necron reveal. It’s always fun to put our finger in the air and see how close we get to the actual releases.

FTN Episode 350 – Top 9 Space Marine Killers – Hot or Not?
Sep 04, 2020
The Warhammer Community Page recently published an article running down their top 9 Space Marine killers? Did they get it right? We run down the list and provide our own comments. What do you think?
Hey all
Articles like this published on the Warhammer Community site are fun. It’s fun to disagree about our nerd stuff sometimes and ‘what beats Marines’ is something we’re all still trying to figure out. There are a few questionable things on this list. We provide a few alternatives.
Did we get it right? Did they get it more right than us? Ha!
I am delighted talk about the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation on this episode. This is an extremely worth while cause and this year we’re doing something special – we’re hosting their Virtual Lounge. While we can’t be at the NOVA Open all together we can bring some fun stuff to the comfort of your own home.
Please please please head on over to their site and pick up a few raffle tickets if you can. We’d also like it if you can join us for the live stream and pick up a few more raffle tickets there as well if you can. This organization is supporting charities that are near and dear to my heart. If it is within your means please toss a few bucks their way. You’re giving to a great cause and you might come away with a gem for your collection.
In the second half of the show we continue to run down the controversial (not really) list. We dovetail what would be our number 9 pick into an impressive rant on the Sisters of Battle. Gah.. I Really want to start this army. The finishing move segment is about someone else talking about color theory. The documentary we speak about is called EPIC Fantasy Painting in Oils Part 1 and is available for free right now on Amazon prime.

FTN Episode 349 – 6 Faction Run Down – We Cover Almost Everything in 40k
Aug 29, 2020
I didn’t count but we cover lots of stuff this episode. We have a hearty jaunt around the universe and talk about Chaos, GSC, Guard, Tau, Eldar and Blood Angels. I knew you were expecting the Blood Angels. It’s a mixed bag but this is a 40k chat you’d get while hanging out at a game store. We’re happy to share it with you.
Hey hey
This is a mixed bag of a show but I love these. We keep things conversational as our style and in this episode I think we translate one of those conversations you’d get from a game store. Since those are getting a little harder to find we’re incredibly happy to share it. Please join in the comments.
In the last part of the first half Adam gets to live his best life and rant for a few minutes on Tau. He’s got a lot to share and packs it all in with true Adam C style.
We discuss a few ways to get cheap damage two weapons into your army. These are going to be needed more than ever as soon as those space marine wound changes come down the pipe. It’s hard to believe that we’re actually talking about the first born marines again but it’s also translated over to the Chaos half. This is awesome.
This may be me being over fatalistic but I would expect some point changes on the way for the first born but strangely I wouldn’t expect it for Chaos. They seem to be ‘where they need to be’ IF they all get the two wound treatment. It’s nice for us to think that the game was truly balanced before but the fact is no one was taking regular Chaos marines because they just weren’t good enough. With two wounds maybe they are. Let’s hope!
In the last half of the show I can’t take all the Tau talk and bust back into the conversation to talk about Blood Angels. If you picked up 24 Sanguinary Guard before then you’re still in a great spot. the weapon options may change but thankfully that kit comes with a lot of bits.

FTN Episode 348 – Shadow Iron and Broken Realms Preview Predictions and Reactions
Aug 22, 2020
The first part of the show we lay down our predictions and wish lists about the preview GW released today. The second part of the show is recorded directly after the preview aired and we share our open thoughts. Are you excited for what’s coming down the pipe?
Hey all,
We kick of the show recorded earlier in the week giving our predictions about what we think the preview was going to be. We weren’t completely wrong! We thought you folks might enjoy theory crafting and I’m interested to hear if you might have been thinking the same thing.
The big 40k take away from the preview is the new Necron elite choice with 6 blasters. 6 sexy sexy blasters.
The big question is will his rules meet the hype? Can he really destroy whole units at a time? I hope so. Sometimes the rules don’t quite hit the mark but we have faith!
There are a ton of Necromunda things going up for preorder today and more coming down revealed in this preview. I love Necromunda and have a Goliath gang myself. But even if you don’t… This just means some sweet bits have entered the fray for your 40k armies.
We close out talking about the might Aelf factions in Simgar. They almost have enough to form Captain Planet. All kidding aside these are beautiful models. This preview wasn’t completely centered around 40k but it was really fun to watch and we’re looking forward to the next one.

FTN Episode 347 – Will You Survive When Double FAQs Attack?
Aug 15, 2020
We address the FAQ and re-FAQ we saw this week from Warhammer 40k. Adam, Red and Paul make some bold predictions about how we think the game’s action moments will shift in 9th. Ricky is on the show too.. kinda. In the middle of the episode we check in with Stephen Box from Vanguard Tactics.
Hey all,
A lot can happen in a week for Warhammer fans. We saw an FAQ and then another FAQ about the same rules we just got rules for. I think we expect things to evolve but this had us doing a double take. Literally, we we did this episode 2-3 times
In the middle of the show we’re joined by Stephen Box. Please check him out if you aren’t familiar with his work already. We focus the conversation on how to tackle secondaries in 9th edition.
We come back after the break in the future! I say that because we recorded the first part of the show much earlier in the week and due to some difficulties outside of our control we had to come back to it. Hopefully it’s seamless on your side and we really appreciate you sticking with us.
We’re looking to take deeper dives in the Xenos factions. Hit us up if you have a few suggestions on stuff you’d like us to cover.
I mention this in the first part of the show but soon we’re going to be flipping a switch to convert the feed to something a little more robust on our side. You should see absolutely no difference on your side but if a week or so goes by and you don’t see a show… come looking for us here to re-sub. Thanks for sticking with us!

FTN Episode 346 – Are Xenos Factions Poised to Dominate 9th?
Aug 08, 2020
This show contains 99% less Imperium than most leading Podcasts. We focus on the Xenos factions in this show. We skate right past the Tau threat and speak more about Drukari in the first part of the show and come back after the break to speak about Orks. We round the show out speaking about Kitbashing and assembling Push Fit models. Let’s do it!
Hello,
The Taunar Supremacy suit is making another big splash right out of the gate in this edition. There are some murmurs behind the scenes that maybe this thing was mispointed. It’s so hard to tell with FW units these days. They are either super good or just kinda ‘eh’ competitive wise. If you stick with hobbying for yourself you can never go wrong but if a unit is ‘too good to be true’ and you’re buying it just to win games then make sure and pump the breaks to be okay with whatever you are setting yourself up for.
Archon Skari joins us this episode to speak about what’s working for him with Drukari. Unsurprisingly it is vehicle spam but it is kind of neat to know there is an alternative to Grotesques and the Cult of Flesh out there.
Thanks for indulging us with the Tyranid talk last week. This week we tip our toe into Orks as well. Each faction is very difficult to completely cover in a single episode so we’re trying to spread the love around a bit. Hopefully you find something to think about in the discussion.
More deep dives are coming, in one form or another. The hobby section this week is about Kitbashing and Push Fit models. The push fits have a tendency to not give you the tightest seals when you’re gluing them together. We’ve got one solution you can try.
I mention this in the first part of the show but soon we’re going to be flipping a switch to convert the feed to something a little more robust on our side. You should see absolutely no difference on your side but if a week or so goes by and you don’t see a show… come looking for us here to re-sub. Thanks for sticking with us!

FTN Episode 345 – Do You Need Psychic Defense in 9th?
Aug 01, 2020
We start the show talking about Psychic Defense and is it worth investing in right now in 9th? Some armies come with it almost automatically. If you aren’t one of the lucky ones then what do you do? The second half of the show we talk about Tyranids and Drukari.
Hey fols,
Grey Knights are poised to be a powerhouse army. We also believe Magnus is ready to live on the table top. Where does that leave armies with little to no innate psychic defense? We try to dive as deep as we can and it leads to a fabulous discussion about real world tactics.
If you’re an army without the choice of taking any defense, well.. hopefully you make up for it in another phase of the game. This may be a new edition but several things remain the same – if you can’t compete in every phase make sure you double up in at least one other phase of the game.
The second half of the show we kick off with Tyranids. We get a lot of flack every time we talk about Nids and I don’t blame you. No one, so far, has cracked the Tyranid code but we try. We’re tying hard and we hope you like the discussion around Tyranid Warriors. Point for point they look to be stacking up really well against Troop sections from other armies. When in doubt though, take a fleet of Genestealers.
We start to run out of time but we also touch on Drukari. By all accounts these guys got hit HARD with the points bat. A lot of the ‘efficiency’ has dried up and we toss around a few options on list building. What’s working for you?
Next episode we’re bringing on an expert to help show us the way but this teaser discussion should serve as a nice primer getting us ready for that.

FTN Episode 344 – Chaos Space Marines in 9th Edition – How to be a Heretic
Jul 25, 2020
TJ Lanigan joins us this week to spit loving bile about Chaos Space Marines. We speak specifically about Death Guard in the beginning of the show and transition to Thousand Sons after the break. This should is 99% chaos. Really like 99.8% Chaos. Listening will give you Heresy.
Hey all,
The point changes in 9th have everyone scratching their heads. What to take? What is the best? Is my list even playable?! Do I need to paint new figures?
Take what you like. The best is a moving target. Your list is still playable but you’ll have to maybe leave out a unit or two. You don’t ‘need’ to paint new figures but it might be fun.
I suggest starting with chaos spawn.. We go over the reasons why in the show but things like Chaos Defilers, Rhinos and Spawn may make a huge comeback. Now with the new edition in our hands we’re going to realize the full impact of Psychic Awakening.
Old Chaos is dead but just like the gibbering masses Chaos is reborn and if you’re a longtime collector you may get to bring some of your old models off the shelf. Those Pox Walkers may come in handy again for objective camping too.
Vehicles in general are getting a lot of attention maybe because they have had the most rules tweaks in #new40k? Maybe so. Chaos has some of the best dual purpose vehicles in the game. They get access to powerful Daemon Engines and a lot of the same tools their less heretical cousins do too.

FTN Episode 343 – New 40k Points review and Special Segment With Duncan Rhodes
Jul 17, 2020
This is another double sized episode! We open the show with a segment about the sweeping point increases in Warhammer 40k 9th Edition. In the middle of the show we’re joined by mini painting rock star Duncan Rhodes before coming back with the regular gang to continue our thoughts on the new state of 40k.
Hey folks,
Some big point changes are coming down the pipe for every faction. EVERY FACTION! There is a clear move by the designers to slim the game down a bit. It’s interesting. We could have just said ‘we all play 1750 now’ but that seems to be less well received than keeping everyone’s idea that we seem to like saying 2000 points. 2000 points won’t buy you as much right now.
I expect this to change over time. We might not remember that far back but this is very much like Index 40k from the start of 8th edition. Outside of a few outliers that were changed with the early Erratas, like the rule of 3, the game was fairly balanced. Now the cycle begins anew. We all secretly hope we’re the first to benefit from Codex Creep, ha!
In the middle of the show we are joined by the amazing Duncan Rhodes. He gives us some insight on what he and Rodger have been up to the last few months. It’s an absolute pleasure to speak with him. He’s a phenomenal painter and ambassador for this hobby. It’s cool to be able to see him stretch his legs and go where his hobby inspiration takes him.
We come back with Adam, Red and Paul to continue our grind through the points.
We don’t cover everything but we talk about a few things important to us. I’m pretty excited to try a few big mini BA games where I push around a few 8 man Sanguinary Guard squads backed up by super characters and Dreadnoughts.

FTN Episode 342 – Dan Abnett Interview!! I repeat – Dan Abnett is on this Show!
Jul 11, 2020
Dan Abnett joins us this week for a wonderful chat. We are incredibly honored to have him on and you don’t want to miss this. Later in the show Adam, Red and Paul talk about assault in 9th Edition Warhammer 40k. This is a jam packed DOUBLE sized episode.
Hey all,
We kick the show off with the legendary Dan Abnett. It was such a joy to have him on and we hope you enjoy it too. We talk about his current and past works and dive deep into some of the things he enjoys.
We get to hear just a tad about what it’s like being in the Hours Heresy writer’s room and his interaction with the other authors as they share characters to create this amazing series that has captivated us for decades.
Like I mentioned above this is a giant double sized episode. The last half of the show we talk about Assault in 9th. Counter Assaults has been afforded whole new set of luxuries that will make the ABC General (always be charging) have to be even more careful that they were before
This edition seems to be shaping up to benefit ‘multi purpose’ units. Quality unit will either need to be aggressively pointed or be able to tangle in both the shooting and assault phases. We’ll have another episode coming shortly behind this one talking about army list creation and the new points.
We work in a few comments about a couple of the new stand out Stratagems from War of the Spider and Engine War. Admech and Custodes are definitely factions to watch,

FTN Episode 341 – 40k 9th Edition Review – Part 1 – Big Changes to Assault
Jul 05, 2020
Here.. We.. Go… The rules for Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition are up on the Warhammer Community page now. In this episode we give our initial impressions about the biggest changes and what they may mean to you. Ultimately the game is cleaner and the changes promote better in game interactions. We think you’re gonna love it but a few of these things will take some getting used to.
Hey folks,
Surprise! It’s a back to back episode!!! Do not adjust your sets. Please make sure and d/l both episodes this week. The revelations about 9th edition are hot.
There are some serious changes to Assault to the point where some pundits are saying the Charge Phase is dead. I beg to differ but make no mistake.. it is different for sure. The changes seem to be lined up to give some fun back to your opponent but what remains to be seen is if the fun is still in it for the Charger. I hope so.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
In the first part of the show we basically oogel over the models again and speculate how everything will find a home out of the new box set. It certainly will.
More subtle changes come in the form of the Psychic Phase. You have to commit as soon as you choose to start manifesting powers with a psyker. It’s minor but this is one of those things you can be burned with if you don’t get used to it early on.

FTN Episode 340 – Will You Get Caught Out of Coherency? Yes!
Jul 03, 2020
We recorded this show before the deluge of 40k 9th edition hit yesterday. Our next show is coming out soon but you don’t want to miss this! We talk about the perils of Unit Coherency. We also have an awesome segment on Women in Wargaming in the middle of the show. Let’s go!
Hey all,
In the first part of the show we talk about the unit coherency revelations we saw this week. These seem subtle at first but will have some DRAMATIC consequences if you aren’t careful. Here’s a news flash, not everyone is careful. Don’t get yourself hung out to dry.
In the middle of the show I get to listen in on some of the challenges females are overcoming in our wargaming community. We’re joined by three community leaders. Charlotte Hamilton, Jen Aspden and Tanya Gates. Please check them out. I’m very grateful for them coming on and providing some excellent insight to the community.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
In the last part of the show we touch on just how open army list creation feels to us right now. Things that we absolutely NOT viable before may make it to the table again. As someone who owns two mauler fiends I’m excited, ha!
In the practical element of the game some of the ‘jewels’ of our collection get picked up round one. That is going to happen – we play a game designed around attacking and removing models, it’s cool, but we do want to actually have the option of playing with these later in the game sometimes. I feel like the change to strategic reserves gives us this option while also maintaining a narrative element if we choose to look at it like that.

FTN Episode 339 – Do I Use My +1’s Now or After You Give me a -1?
Jun 27, 2020
We talk about new new preorder models and what we know about the Inquisitors and the new Dense Cover Rules for #new40k. At the end the show we talk about how to get more use out of your Skorpius Dunestrider kit. Spoiler – you can make it completely modular with no magnets.
Hey hey,
We talk about how cool the new Inquisitor looks and then jump right into the new terrain rules.
We ponder about the ‘length’ of the wording and how that gives a lot of gamers pause in 40k because we are used to some people having a poor experience with people misinterpreting the wordy rules. I don’t think were lined up for that. I think that once we get some awareness out there on how its supposed to work we’ll all know how it works and we’ll have fun with it. Don’t sweat it folks!
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
We sort of talk about the compromises that organizers may make when they are defining the terrain for their events. Absolutely do the same thing in your home games. It’s better to get the ‘function’ from a sketchy piece of terrain and eventually build the look of the terrain up over time than to not be playing with the new rules when they come out.
Terrain makes the game. It gives us a dynamic play experience that makes so many more army lists viable and present interesting generalship issues for each player.

FTN Episode 338 – It’s Okay to Stare – The New Models are So Good!
Jun 20, 2020
The guys from Lorehammer join is for the middle segment this week. This is the first time we’ve spoken on a call and it was a blast. The rest of the show has Adam, Red and Paul drooling over thew new models for the Necrons and Marines. Wow. I mean.. who isn’t already thinking about these things in their own personal color schemes?
Hey folks,
The first part of the show I address the audio issues from last week. So sorry for how that turned out. It seemed to get worse after the show was published.. ugh! But hey, it’s back to normal now. Download this episode
We basically do a little theory hammer about the new models and the impact they may have on the game. We talk about how gorgeous they are, of course, but we also do some pondering on the base size and how subtle things like that can play out big in your games.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
In the middle part of the show the guys from Lorehammer join us. Mark and Eric we so fun to chat with. They have an amazing show and I implore you to check them out. Their enthusiasm pours through the speakers. We talk a lot about Necrons.
Speaking of Necrons we talk a ton about our appreciation for the new Necron models and spend some time wishlisting over what we hope they turn out to be. Red plays Necrons so it’s fun to pick his brain about what we think the army needs.

FTN Episode 337 – Does A Shorter Board Mean A Shorter Game?
Jun 13, 2020
It’s Red and Paul this week talking about how awesome a shorter board might be for Close Combat armies. Vehicles getting buffs and being able to shoot into close combat might balance that back out though.. At the end of the show we chat about buying and selling armies getting ready for 9th Edition
Hey all,
It’s just Red and Paul for the main segments this week. John Hickton joins us in the middle segment for a community spotlight talking about how he’s getting ready for 9th. I bet that he was crazy excited since he plays Tyranids and I was right.
Does a smaller board make for smaller games? I don’t think it will play out that way but we are going to accelerate the initial games by essentially giving close combat armies a free turn of movement. This means they are gonna get in there QUICK. They’ll be rolling lots of dice sooner so maybe the game doesn’t speed up at all. That’s been hinted at a bit already and we don’t go into that aspect during the show but it’s something to think about.

We discuss the dramatic impact of 12 inch auras. That is going to take a bit of getting used to.
At the back of the show we talk about the secondary market of figures. It’s hard to cover all aspect but this is a bit of a primer or what to expect if you’re thinking of turning this into a new edition new you sort of situation.

FTN Episode 336 – Will 9th Edition Be The Best Edition Ever?
Jun 06, 2020
The new edition is looking pretty stellar. We have several high profile guests on this week to talk about it. We start the guest cavalcade with Jim Vesal, followed by Miniwargaming Dave and then our partner in broadcasting Peter the Falcon. You don’t want to miss this.
Hey folks,
Adam and Paul kick the show off in our normal way then we jump to a segment with super player Jim Vesal. Adam tries to coin a moniker for him but doesn’t quite hit the mark. Check back in next week to see what we land on.. ha!
After another segment with the regular desk we jump into an hilarious chat with Miniwargaming Dave. Dave is always fun to talk with and this was no exception. We’re honored to have him on and I think you’re really going to like his insights and what he’s hoping to do in this edition.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
We move almost directly into a segment with Peter Colosimo from 40kstats.com His take on these things is refreshing. We get to cast off our anecdotal evidence and grasp the cold hard facts. We recorded this moments after we had some of the matched play news leaked so we’re both sort of in shock.
With the ever evolving news coming from GW on this edition a couple of thoughts or speculations are dated – even though they ended up being true, ha! But I just wanted to mention that so you know we’re staying up to the minute to bring you the best coverage we can.

FTN Episode 335 – #New40k Hopes and Dreams – What Are Yours?
May 30, 2020
We’re joined by several 40k notables this week. It’s a fun series of conversations about what we hope makes its way into Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition. We hope you like all the guests this week. We go over the Studio Q&A and discuss the news from Engine War.
Hey all,
The first special guest is Stephen Box from Vanguard Tactics. He and I recorded moments after the Q&A and were still reeling from the reveals. To know that nothing is being phased out from 8th right now is freaking amazing. It keeps the wheels turning on army list design. Expect some great things from Stephen as we know more.
In between the special guests Adam and Paul share our thoughts on the Q&A too.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
Archon Skari is next on the special guest list. I love chatting with him. He’s such a positive force in the hobby and always has been. Check him out if you aren’t familiar already.
Last week I said that Adam and were executed about the changes to Command Points. I meant excited. But you get the idea. Executed works too. Ha! After Skari good ole Val Heffelfinger joins us to give his thoughts on 9th. Val is absolutely awesome and such a low key champion of this hobby we love so much. It’s always good to have him on the show.

WOW! If you missed it or didn’t think you needed to watch it please go watch the Warhammer 40k 9th Edition teaser trailer. It is amazing! The best animation we’ve seen out of GW yet. It’s got us pumped. We run down our reactions to the 9 things you need to know about 9th.
Hey guys,
We are also doing live shows now. This is available in the replay on Twitch and the FTN Youtube page. We’ll post times on Paul’s twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Live streams start up again very soon. Please subscribe if you haven’t already! Check out the new FTN homepage too.
We jump right into the 40k 9th coverage after a brief intro. On the show I ask you to check out my friend’s webstore. It would really help them out and it can be found here. Grand Adventures is one of those stores we all wished we had in our town. It would mean a lot to me if you checked them out. Please do!

One of the major take aways from the preview is ‘being able to enjoy’ 40k at any size. This is interesting to me because we have ’40k in many forms’ right now with Kill Team, Necromunda, different point games, power level play etc. The reasons some off these formats aren’t as popular – to me- is that they don’t really capture what 40k on a 4×6 table is. Will this any size option do that now? I hope so.
Adam and I are incredibly executed about the change to Command Points. Some armies like Custodes and Harlequins struggle to get the CP needed to fund their Stratagems. To make them work you often have to dip into another codex to fill slots to get the CP. Sounds like this is changing in a big way. It sounds like we’ll all start from an even level and use them to potentially pay for whatever advantages we think we need in our list design. It sounds awesome.

There is so much to unpack from the preview. We spend the whole show talking about it. We know there is more to come. Heck.. we have two more Psychic Awakening books to get to right?! Needless to say we’re gonna be busy and have tons to talk about.

We have some big news to share about Best Coast Pairings and Down Under Parings this week. We bring them on together to talk about it. Adam and Paul talk more about Nobz and Harlequins. Later in the show John from 40k Today joins me. It’s a great week!

I’m delighted to be joined by Paul Mckelvey and Joshua Diffey this week to talk about the amazing partnership between BCP and DUP. These systems have been making it much easier for organizers to run tournaments for the last several years. Now.. It’s getting even better. They talk about some of the enhancements and please see the screen grabs below.
I sit down with John DeMaris of 40k Today. We talk about why he is doing what he’s doing and the team behind the 40k Today show. He’s a fun guy to get to know and chat with. I really hope you check these guys out more often.

FTN Episode 331 – Hobby Time with the GOAT – Goatboy
May 03, 2020
Paul and Thomas chat about the hobby and play-testing for the new meta – whatever that is? This episode has a real sit and chat feel that I hope you enjoy. We some really cool hobby tricks shown in this month’s White Dwarf.
Hey all,
Live shows are coming to you next week. This is available in the replay on Twitch and the FTN Youtube page. We’ll post times on Paul’s twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
The Death Watch get their Psychic Awakening in this month’s White Dwarf magazine. Basically this just brings them up to speed on the new Marine standard template for Stratagems. That may not sound like much but those are the bread and butter for Space Marine players and some of them will definitely be used every game. The Death Watch are already a ‘flashy’ Marine army with access to impressive firepower. The new (to them) Stratagems enhance their already strong Bolters.

Cleaning up the hobby area as lead to lost models! Ha. No good deed goes unpunished. Take this as a lesson – never clean up. Leave everything out where you can see it! Ha, I am only kidding but I’m sure everyone has felt this frustration before. I’m sure these guys will turn up.
We wax on and wishlist for the Unification War board game that will never be but hey!, it’s fun to talk about.

Rick and Red join Paul this week to talk about the story rippling through the 40k community from the Psychic Awakening this week. Is it Loyalty? Is it Arrogance? Doesn’t the Imperium do a good job at both? We skate on the edge of Heresy this week and hope you come along for the ride.
Hey guys,
Live shows are coming to you next week. This is available in the replay on Twitch and the FTN Youtube page. We’ll post times on Paul’s twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

FTN Episode 329 – Games Workshop Studio Preview 3 Reaction – Wow
Apr 19, 2020
We waited to record this week until after the studio preview. Sorry for the late upload! In this episode we give our reactions to the announcements and the lovely new models. What do do you think the odds are that the Inquisition becomes an actual playable force?
Hey all,
We did another live show this week too!. This is available in the replay on Twitch and the FTN Youtube page. This was a ‘cold launch’ so that explains why you may not have seen it but we really appreciate the folks that joined in to watch and joined the chat. We’ll do it again next week with a little better of an announcement.
The studio previews were great. It’s a little short on ’40k news’ but I think GW is trying to meter their information right now during this slow down. I can’t blame them, the information is still flowing and they are clearly showing they will adapt to the situation and attempt to keep us happy. This episode is a full on jaunt through our reactions and ‘why’ we feel the way we do. The things we saw yesterday are ripe with nods to the lore and it’s hard not to get execited.

I’m drawn more and more to the Lumineth Realmlords, the figures are making it almost impossible to resist!
I have friends that play Necrons and I can tell you they are pumped about finally getting a little attention from Psychic Awakening. The previewed model is AMAZING.

FTN Episode 328 – Attacking Your Hobby and Adpeticon Speaks
Apr 11, 2020
Ricky, Paul and Adam roll out this week talking about how to keep engaged during the time of social distancing. The middle part of the show Paul is joined by Matthias Weeks from Adpeticon to discuss the struggles they faced leading up to cancellation and the way forward.
Hey guys,
This week we had our very first live show. This is available in the replay on Twitch and the FTN Youtube page. This was a ‘cold launch’ so that explains why you may not have seen it but we really appreciate the folks that joined in to watch and joined the chat. We’ll do it again next week with a little better of an announcement.
In the first part of the show we talk a little bit about Space Wolves tactics and then jump over to talk about Orks in the hobby. There is no wrong way to do it. Adam made me spill the beans that I’m working on Orks again. It was also a nice excuse to order from my friends and sponsors who sell hobby equipment and supplies. Meganobs are the way to go!
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
In the middle Matthias Weeks tells us all about the moments leading up to the cancellation of Adpeticon this year. We get to spend a moment or two in their shoes and the incredibly large decisions they had to make.
In the last part of the show we wishlist for White Dwarf and reflect on the changes its had over the years. Right now it is the best its ever been. If you haven’t checked it out I highly suggest it. The talk also led Adam to reflect on one of his favorite hobby memories and a treasured miniature.

FTN Episode 327 – The Hobby Talk We All Need Right Now
Apr 04, 2020
We sit and decompress a bit in this show. Paul also sits down with Carl Tuttle from the ICs this week for nice long catch up chat.
Hi all,
I’m working with some new equipment on my side this week. I’m feeling it out and hopefully will have it all set up the way I like it for the next show.
We run down the highlights from the GW preview last week.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
In the middle of the show Paul and Carl swap a couple of stories about Adepticon and traveling to Warhammer World. It was great to speak with him and record it.
In the last part of the show we discuss the evil exploits of Fabius Bile and speculate on what his rules may be.

Hey all, thanks for listening to us. We know a lot of folks may be cooped up at home and we really appreciate you guys continuing to make us part of your entertainment. In this show we start with some hobby talk and close the show talking about Space Wolves list ideas.
Hi all,
I had two hobby catastrophes this week. I lost my hobby journal and a set of Eliminator heads. Thankfully they have both been found, ha! It was a terrifying 6 minutes.
The first part of the show is hobby talk and some good ole fashioned hanging out. I figure we can all use that right now. More to come on that. You’ll soon be able to join us before we record for some hobby fuel and chat.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
In the second part of the show we talk about the idea of including Dark Angels in with your Space Wolves. It’s a fun risk vs reward discussion. I’m interested in hearing your take on it as well.
Folks get real skeptical about ‘souping’ now. Has that stigma passed?

Finishing Moves this week is about painting pink. Please check out my pics on Instagram or Twitter. I’m paining some Goliaths for Necromunda and settled on what turned out to be a pretty cool color scheme.

FTN Episode 325 – Saga of the Beast Review – Orks and Space Wolves
Mar 21, 2020
We lead off with the biggest and greenest thing in the Galaxy. The Orks get a TON of help from this book with endless new things to try. The second part of the show we spend a lot of time talking about how degenerate Ragnar Blackmane is. He does everything and does it well. We close the show with a word about our community.
Hi guys,
Wowzer. Ghaz is back with a brand new mission. We talk about how the Orks basically get a huge pump of life back into their codex. There is some love and joy for almost every unit in the book. We are impressed. Just about every army will need to consider taking Ghaz and Makari and every opponent will need a plan to deal with them.
In the second part of the show we run down a lot of really powerful things you can accomplish with Rangar. He is a total beat stick and force multiplier. He’s aggressively pointed to say the least. If you play Space Wolves he is an auto include.

The two new character models are gorgeous. Even if you don’t feel like they need to be in your list you are certainly going to want them in your collection.
We close the show out talking about the community. While it would mean a lot to us at the show if you directly support our sponsors we think it is also especially important to support the shops in your back yard. If you have the means to do it, please consider it. Thank you.

FTN Episode 324 – Are You Prepared To Sacrifice?
Mar 14, 2020
I’ve got good news everyone – Red is back with better audio! Adam, Red and Paul talk about making sacrifice plays the critical decision path that goes into those plays. At the end of the show we field a listener’s question about how to start a Black Legion army.
Hi all,
Some units in the game have clear roles – you know this thing is designed to do X or Y and it feels almost alien to force them to do something else. Sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and put a unit in harms way for no other reason than to put you closer to a win condition. It can be confusing and frustrating to not feel like you are getting full value out of your army list choices but sometimes that’s what you gotta do.
It’s easier when you have something like a guard platoon squad where you know they are just supposed to line up and block off a flank or to move move move for an early game objective. Decisions get harder when you’re using big point units to ‘feed the machine’ and die or you’re playing an elite army where every model theoretically counts. We talk some about how to make that risk vs reward assessment.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
At the back of the show we talk about where to start with a Black Legion army. We aren’t talking about Black Legion in name only and we clear that up asap. In our competitive nature it’s hard not to include just enough to make the theme and then fill the rest of the list with the leanest meanest efficiencies.
To not compromise what the listener wants we stick to the intent and talk about the Legion’s strengths and what one should play into if they want to make this type of army.

FTN Episode 323 – Playing Behind the 8 Ball
Mar 08, 2020
Ricky and Adam join me this week to talk about playing at a disadvantage. If you aren’t a meta chaser sometimes you’ve got to just play the best tools in your shed. What happens when you roll up to the table against someone with a better trick? We don’t solve the problem but we sure do talk about it for a little while. We have two amazing Community Spotlight segments in this show too.
Hi guys,
We start the show talking about playing at a disadvantage. You brought a trick – either shooting or assault and you get paired or choose to play someone with them same trick as you but they do it better! We chat a bit about how to realize and compensate for that. This is a topic we will dive deeper into over the next couple of episodes.
The first community spotlight shines a light on BattleHaven. If you haven’t check them out yet please do. You can find more information here. These guys put on a fabulous event celebrating the gaming culture and spirit of friendship. Great people doing great things – it is absolutely worth the trip.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
After that we jump back in with Adam and Ricky to stay on topic. Of course we can’t stay on topic without several blatant Lord of the Rings references because… why not?
The second Community Spotlight is with Pablo Martinez from Chapter Tactics over on the FLG network. We talk about gaming in general and what it’s like to interact at events and as an organizer.

We close out the show again with more random Lord of the Rings references but more on topic we tee up better discussions about playing down and doing what you ‘need to do’ instead of maybe what you set up to do when you built your army.

FTN Episode 322 – Defense Wins Championships
Feb 29, 2020
Adam and Red join Paul this week. We kick the show off taking about some Duke of Down Under success. We have a community spotlight section in the middle and then Professor Red talks to us about Operational Framework. We have some tips in here for new and old players. Let’s get to it!
Hi all,
We recorded this episode before the big Marine changes so we don’t get into them in this show but you can bet your bottom dollar the meta is going to change. Sweeping changes to Doctrines and a few critical stratagems are going to break the top spots wide open. It might usher back in the Tau but a LOT has changed in the game since the last time that list was popular.
We can’t ignore the radical new abilities ushered in through the Psychic Awakenings and we’ll continue to see more.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
In the middle of the show Jay Larsen joins me to talk about Crisis Protocol and how that game is developing into it’s own. He hosts a podcast about it as well. If you’d like to know more about the game please check it out.
In the back of the show Red scratches the surface on Operational Framework. Trust me.. It’s not as boring as it sounds. He puts some theory around one of the critical aspects of winning Warhammer 40k games. Over the course of the discussion we talk about discipline and reserve that’s difficult for some players to muster.

FTN Episode 321 – The New ITC Tournament Missions and You
Feb 22, 2020
Archon Skari and Red Powell sit down with Paul to discuss the recent changes to the ITC Tournament Mission format. These guys are know for their success unconventional lists so it is great to hear their thoughts and get a little early insight to how they may attack the format. Strap in!
Hi guys,
Huge changes have been made to the ITC Champions Mission format in a direct answer to some of the perceived problems in the tournament meta. We mention this in the show but the change seem to be focused on creating more interaction on the tabletop while also creating less ‘gotcha’ moments in the early game.
Seize the Initiative has been a divisive rule from the start but it is inherently a core rule of the time. These missions look to remove that. The largest group of players will likely not feel strongly enough to object to this – and I honestly don’t know anyone who is overly enthusiastic about this rule being in the game UNLESS it benefits them in an unfavorable deployment or match up.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
The missions alter the opening of the game to be a lot more predictable. A savvy general should be able to come up with a strategy to accommodate going first or second and the missions seem to further assist with this. The Missions
Personally – I don’t prefer to play defensively to the point of being somewhat careless with my deployment sometimes. I believe the changes to the missions in the form of early game set up and execution to the inclusion of additional Secondary Objectives may help me ‘get out of my own way’ more often.

FTN Episode 320 – Greater Good – Tau Review
Feb 17, 2020
The Tau take the silver medal in the Psychic Awakening Greater Good book with awesome ways to be even more shooty in the shooting phase. The Tau are already a beast to deal with in tournaments and they’ve taken a bit of a backseat since the Marines took over. Will this be enough to push them back up?
Adam and Paul jump right into the Tau and their new customizable Sept abilities. There are some nice ones here maybe nothing ‘better’ than what is in their base book. Admittedly I am not a Tau player so there could really be some nuance that I’m missing here.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
The Experimental Weapon systems are the next thing we jump on and man.. a couple of these are real winners. It may be enough to bring rail cannons back to the game.
In the middle of the show Paul is joined by Stephen Box from Vanguard Tactics. I was fortunate enough to meet Stephen at the LVO. He’s got a great way of delivering competitive 40k information and if you aren’t already familiar with his work please check him out. We dish about Blood Angels.

FTN Episode 319 – The Greater Good is Great for Guard
Feb 09, 2020
This episode is SUPER long. We have three community spotlights AND the Greater Good pre-release review. Whoa! Strap in for this three hour long show – I”m sorry in advance if you download this on you cell service – wait for free wifi if you can!
Hi all,
Thomas Goatboy Reidy joins Paul and Adam this week to run down the Guard and Scion parts of the Greater Good up for pre-order this weekend. The first community spotlight is with Adam’s buddy Josh Diffey to speak about Down Under Pairings. If you haven’t checked it out yet, please do. It is pretty amazing.
Interspersed between the Greater Good talk we do a segment with the Armageddon Series winner Daniel Smith. Check out this awesome export from Down Under Pairings that collated the series scoring just like we needed it it. The Final Scoring from Season 1 can be found here: Series Scoring.

Guard are big winners with this book. You are going to see a LOT of tank aces. They seem fun to play with and – dare we say – balanced. It gives some nice defense to the tanks or offense.. Basically whatever you want – there are rules for you. But is worth giving your warlord trait in order to get a second Ace? I am not sure.
Red Powell jump on the show this week to also tell us about his novel list he did so well with at the LVO and about his awesome group within the US Army. He and his team are doing a ton to bring awareness of what we do to that organization. They are doing this while always being good ambassadors for their game and their job. Wow. they are killing it.

Finishing movies is about about Adhesives. Paul Made SOOOOOO many mistakes this week that also includes hand wounds,,, and needing to start over on this project at lease once. With that said, please take this as a cautionary tale if you make it all the way to the end of the show. Us and the Beatles.. we have a long one every now and then. Thanks for listening!!

FTN Episode 318 – LVO 2020 Recap – Stats Centre Invasion
Feb 01, 2020
Please join us for a very special episode where Paul and Adam are joined by Peter the Falcon from 40k Stats.com. We run down our LVO 2020 coverage and talk about our experience as commentators for the largest Warhammer 40k Tournament in the world.
Hi guys,
If you haven’t checked out 40kstats.com please do it now! Peter is putting out amazing content week after week and even if you are just ‘kinda into competitive 40k’ there is something there for you. Knowledge is power!
We talk about what an amazing experience it was doing live commentary for 30+ hours at the Las Vegas Open. We had some early struggles but once the stars aligned we were off to the races with what I think is the best coverage ever to come out of a 40k event. It truly was a team endeavor. You couldn’t see all the motion from the guys behind the scenes but it honestly made it all work. I’m honored to be a part of that team. Please check out the 40k Stats Centre Twitch channel to watch the entire coverage. It’s peppered with guest interviews right after climatic games, jokes, and all the drama that the event brings.

In the middle of the episode we highlight the Dallas Open. Nate is a little gun shy being on the mic but the event is in its 3rd year and they are only picking up steam. It’s totally work checking out and these guys are dedicated to giving you a good time. Plus.. it’s right down the road from the Citadel.
We come back in hot with Adam and Peter for the third part of the show. Peter wouldn’t be Peter without giving us a belly full of stats that we get to gnash on. I am a filthy meta chaser and I know what I’m building more of right now… Eliminators. It’s a Marine world right now. How do you plan to attack it?

FTN Episode 317 – Ritual of the Damned Preview – Hot!
Jan 18, 2020
Adam, Ricky and Paul walk through the Ritual of the Damned supplement going up for pre-order this week. Man-o-man, this is exactly the book that some players have been waiting for. This book brings new rules to the Dark Angels, Grey Knights and the Thousand Sons. Let’s dive in!
Hi all,
Another spectacular release from Games Workshop. This one breaths some much needed life into some flailing factions. If you’re a longtime Dark Angel player you are going to be exceptionally pleased. This book allows you to field some of the iconic namesake units of the DA with super buffs to the Ravenwing and Deathwing. The army will play very much like you may expect them to giving extra mobility or durability while still being ‘fun’ to move your figures around the table.
The Grey Knights got a ton of help. An extra layer of special rules have been added for them in the forms of Tides of the Warp. This is something the GK can manipulate in the psychic phase that gives them situational buffs. The high point cost of the GK mean you need all the help you can get with how killy the game is right now.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
Last but not least are the Thousand Sons. The 1kSons get 9 new army list options to choose from that each come with a Psychic Power, a Warlord Trait and a Relic. There are some spicy ones in there that we talk about during the show. There are several abilities that allow the shooty marines to ‘appear out of nowhere’ and deliver punishing fire.
It may not be enough to attract a lot of new players to the faction but you’re definitely going to be pleased with the collection you’ve acquired so far. Fans of the 1kSons will be pleased. It goes without saying that these books are a must have for players of these factions.

FTN Episode 316 – Sisters of Battle Codex Review – Sister Act 1
Jan 11, 2020
Hi all, here is part one of our Adeptus Sororitas coverage. There is a LOT to digest in this book. Much of the codex is pointed pretty aggressively meaning you can get a lot of it on the table. Do the t3 frames pack enough punch to hold their own in the meta right now? That remains to be seen.
Hi everyone.,
Ricky and Paul run down the basics from the Sisters of Battle codex up for pre-order right now. The dex has been out a few weeks with the limited edition box set that dropped recently. This week the masses can get their hands on this holy book along with a host of new models.
The Battle Sister starts at 9 points and honestly, for value I think this is the only kinda maybe in the whole book. Everything else comes in with modest point values, including tanks like the Exorcist. I don’t mean that things are ‘too cheap.’ I think the point values reflect the low toughness values and die role dependencies from the army. I’m saying this untested. I have not faced or played the new Sisters yet so I really want to know what you guys thing.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
New models IN PLASTIC is what a ton of people have been waiting on and they have certainly does these models justice. Each model brings dynamic poses with tons of interesting features.
My favorite so far is the Exorcist. I like this even better than the Trial of St Katherine. It looks tough and has rules to match. Rocking three of these things in year’s past was something people did and you should expect to see it again.

FTN Episode 315 – 2020 Off Like a Rocket – Road to the LVO
Jan 04, 2020
Kicking off 2020 with Ricky breaking his silence and Val from 40k Stats Centre. We ramble on a bit and then give our predictions on what will win the LVO. Spoiler Alert: it’s probably going to be Marines. Are we wrong? Are Eldar and Tau real contenders?
Hi all,
Our buddy Val Heffelfinger joins us this week and serves Paul an indecent proposal – one that he can’t refuse… We start our Road to the LVO coverage with a few predictions both safe and speculative.
Last week it was fun to think about models from the last decade but now we turn our attention to the future and speculate about what we’ll see from GW over the next few weeks.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
We have high hopes for the remaining Psychic Awakening books. Why shouldn’t we? The one’s we’ve seen so far have been real winners. It will be fun to see what happens with the Grey Knights and Thousand Sons particularly. The Dark Angels have always been sort of on the fringe. Ricky is cautiously hopeful about what a book may hold for them but pines away for the Death Wing and the ever shrinking presence of the Terminator.
We think Marines will dominate the top 8 of the largest tournament in the world. What do you think?

FTN Episode 314 – Decade Wrap Up – What Were The Best Models?
Dec 28, 2019
Last show of the year.. Last show of the decade! We spend the first half of the show talking about the amazing models we’ve seen over the last few years. Part two has us discussing mission design and building the community in your area.
Hi guys,
What are the best models you’ve seen over the years? We tried to list the top ten from the last 10 years and came up with with nice ones.
In no particular order:
Mandrakes Mortarion Magnus Guilliman Tylos Rubio Yvraine Yncarne Telemon Custodes Dread Fire Raptor Cawl Jackal Alpha Corvus Cabal Lord of Skulls Lancer Cullexus Assassin Rubric Marines Sicaran Infiltrators Dimachaeron
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
What are your picks?
The second part of the show we talk a bit about list design and then mission design. The mission design section is rooted in ‘how to build up the scene in your area.’

FTN Episode 313 – Send in the Clowns and Big Ups to the 40k Community
Dec 21, 2019
Adam and Paul put in a two hander here. The first part of the show is basically a big arms hug to the great state of the current Warhammer 40k Community and those people that are promoting the positive culture. After the break we talk about Harlequins.
Hi all,
It’s a good time to be in the hobby and has been for a long time. It is a brave new world. In the first segment we talk a little about our history in the hobby and ask ourselves about models we wished we’d have gotten over the years.
Towards the end of the first segment the conversation shifts to a bit of a love fest about the tournament scene, the people in 40k and just a general appreciation for the hobby.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
After the break we talk about Harlequins. These guys may actually dance into the tournament conversation again. Point reductions make it possible to make an army with an actual usable amount of Command Points. There is a wealth of Stratagems in the dex that NEVER got used because of the severe budget you had to be on with your CPs. I’m anxious to see if that actually changes after the point drops.
The good stuff in the Harlequin Codex got better with point drops and CP availability. If you were a fan of this faction before you’re really in luck.

FTN Episode 312 – Fear the Tyranids – The Big Bugs are Back
Dec 14, 2019
Chapter Approved 2019 has given us a lot to think about. In this show we tackle two more super factions – the Tyranids and the Aeldari. Between Blood of Baal and Chapter Approved there are a ton more options to put on the table.
Hi guys,
We talk a lot about Exocrines in this episode. To us these will be the break out unit for the Tyranids again. These things saw some play early in 8th but there is a new 1 CP strat that allows them to fire as as if they were stationary even if they moved. This is HUGE – almost as big as the Exocrine itself.
We weave in a little insidious talk about the Genestealer Cults as well. This faction seems largely unaffected by the changes in Chapter Approved. The Aberrants got a little bit of a point increase but it seems like the rest of the faction is rocking and rolling as normal. The GSC is not an easy list to play and required a TON of models so its nice to see that the people who committed to that get to continue to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
We give a high level pass to the Aeldari super faction too. There are some neat tricks you can pull off with the Warlock Conclaves that become a little more attractive with point decreases and a few tricks possibly slipping in from the first Psychic Awakening.
Is this enough to get the Warlock or Seer Councils back on the table? I’m not sure – some changes to the Legends Banshee Mask for Autarchs may put a damper on Jet Bike army strategies but time will tell. I know I’ll be building some lists soon.

FTN Episode 311 – What’s The Point? Chapter Approved 2019 Review
Dec 07, 2019
Adam and Paul hit a few highlights from Chapter Approved. There are SWEEPING point changes and we aren’t able to get to them all but we do focus on a few of the more dramatic changes for under performing factions – like Grey Knights.
Hi all,
Its hard not to talk about Blood Angels the whole time but I promise this episode is about something else! The point changes in Chapter Approved 2019 materially change the game for the better. There are changes to almost every under performing faction. If you liked what you were able to take before you’ll get to take more of it. If your favorite unit was a little too unwieldy to get on the table – you’ll probably get to use it now.
We talk about Grey Knights. They get some pretty interesting point changes that should set them up quite nicely for the next Psychic Awakening book. It will be neat to see how this faction evolves as it got left behind in 8th edition so far.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
Chaos Daemons will see a change to the archetype list people have been fielding. I’m curious how this will play out because this is a little bit of a nerf to how people have been playing the faction. It’s possible this will help another power build emerge from the Codex. It’s clear these changes have an eye on balance and game-play.
Next week we should have an update on the winners of the Armageddon Series. Thanks a lot for following along.

FTN Episode 310 – Blood of Baal – NEW Blood Angels Review
Dec 01, 2019
What a joyous day! We dive right in to the Blood Angel updates from the Blood of Baal book up for pre-order right now. TONS of improvements for our favorite faction. The Blood Angels will be raining back on the tables and we couldn’t be happier.
Hi guys,
Some of the biggest improvements come in the form of Space Marine stratagems but there are plenty of unique Blood Angel stratagems for the Chapter too. A lot of them focus on ways to beef up Sanguinary Guard.
These guys got an impressive drop in points to make them an actual reasonable choice to think about putting in your army. The 2+ save and multi damage weapon will really shine with all these Chapter upgrades.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
The Death Company see a drop in cost per model. These guys saw fringe play before and surely will now. You can use their pre game movement and a few ‘gotcha’ Stratagems from this book to really box people in. Opponents will not be able to get away from these killers.
Next week we should have an update on the winners of the Armageddon Series. Thanks a lot for following along.

FTN Episode 309 – Faith and Fury Spreads the Love
Nov 23, 2019
I know this is coming a little late but here is our Faith and Fury review. This book is jam packed with Loyalist and Heretical upgrades. One of the stand outs is the Master of Sanctity. Chaplains were right on the cusp of being auto includes but this may have pushed them over the edge. Don’t worry Chaos fans.. you get plenty in this book too!
Hi all,
It is Chris, Adam, and Paul this week. In this episode we chat about Faith and Fury. I totally skip the World Eaters so advanced apologies for that.. Next time! This book is chock full of upgrades for Loyalist in the form of chapter leader upgrades. Like I mentioned up top the Chaplain can become a Master of Sanctity and pop off two powers a turn. In a Centurion driven world that’s going to be a powerhouse.
The Alpha Legion is back in a big way. The deployment shenanigans are real but now they can also force Vehicles to explode (pretty much). It may not sound like much but making your opponent dish out a few Mortal Wounds in their own lines could be enough to tip a lot of games in your favor.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
Black Templars get a bit buff in the book too. This Chapter is a big favorite so expect these guys to get some play for sure. They get a few of their own Chaplain powers and their name Characters are beefcake.
The Armageddon series was last weekend and we give our impressions this week. Check out the link here: Armageddon Series: Coastal Assault. I chat with John Moore from the Fog of War Podcast and we both recount some of our experiences.

FTN Episode 308 – Don’t Give it Away Turn 1
Nov 18, 2019
We did it! Through some help of friends and some hard work I got the army list ready to take to some upcoming tournaments. We discuss a test game, the virtues of controlling your own fate and then we ooh and ahh over the new Sisters models.
Hi guys,
Sorry for the late post but having to travel to the tournament over the weekend kept me from getting the show out on time.
The list is fully painted, fits in a travel bag and is ready to go! We got there. It was stressful but fun. Now I can take my time with the details over the next few weeks but the hard part is done. It’s been a fun adventure over the last few weeks.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.

The Wrong Way Kids will be putting on their first official public event later this year the Armageddon Series: Coastal Assault. Tickets are up for sale right now. Please join us. You will have a good time. It will be a full ITC format event and an excellent opportunity to get ITC overall and faction points.

FTN Episode 307 – Is it Better to Attack or Join the 40k Tournament Meta?
Nov 09, 2019
If we are correct in predicting that the Salamanders will be the army list to beat soon is it better to get on board the Salamander train or build lists that beat them? With all the Marine goodness coming out what are the Xenos players taking? Are Tau the ultimate list?
Hi everyone,
We jump right in taking some major assumptions that Salamanders are going to be strong. They will be so strong they will attract a lot of fringe Marine players. Do you beat them or join them?
Tau have a ton of really good options, especially against opponents with limited long range effectiveness. Armies with gun platform transports are also at a huge advantage. Right now any unit with 2-3 guns with over 10 wounds is on my watch list for units to take.

FTN Episode 306 – Thunder From Down Under – Defeating the Tau Menace
Nov 02, 2019
f
Adam from the Down Under Network joins us this week and brings some super hot tech on how to defeat the Tau Menace using Deathwatch. We talk about Raven Guard and discuss the virtues of the Stalker Bolt Rifle.
Hi all,
Adam is such a fun guy to have on and we’re grateful he could take time out of his day to join us. We discuss his success with with Deathwatch and we discuss some dirty dirty things to do with Raven Guard.
We talk about the Raven Guard tactics in context to Aggressors but I think right now Centurions are the way to go. Over the long run Aggressors are likely the safer bet long term if you are wanting to be careful with your hobby time/dollars.

FTN Episode 305 – Are Space Marines FAQproof?
Oct 29, 2019
f
Sorry for the delay getting this episode out – I’ve been traveling. On my travels I made a new list to take to an upcoming tournament. A tournament Zinger joins Chris and Paul today and he asks the question.. Could we expect point hikes in Chapter Approved? I told him that was tomorrow’s problem and then we chat about the list. Tell us where we went wrong?
Hi guys
Matt Bodnarchuk joins us for this episode to talk a bit about a new Space Marine list Paul kicked up.
We talk some about the new Impulsor. This take is positioned to make a pretty big impact with his functionality or durability if you choose to build it out that way. The list is a Captain – to be upgraded to a Chapter Master, a Lieutenant, 2 units of Intercessors with the Stalker Bolt Rifles, 2 units of Scouts, 3 Thunderfire cannons, 2 Invictor Warsuits, 1 Contemptor Dread with C-beams, 2 Impulsors, 2 Stormhawks and 2 Stormtalons. I plan to push it up in your face while the firebase rains lead on you from a distance. Wish me luck.. I have to build and paint the whole thing in 3 weeks.

FTN Episode 304 – Salamanders and Imperial Fists Preview – Fire and Forts
Oct 21, 2019
f
Mega Jam Packed Episode – We kick the show off talking about the Iron Hands FAQ then a community spotlight segment – then Salamanders.. Then ANOTHER community spotlight and then close out with the Imperial Fists. Two more rock star Marine factions will be hitting the table soon.
Hi all,
Like the blurb above says this is a double sized episode. We have to community spotlight segments and two mega Marine faction previews.
For me the Salamanders win this round but the Imperial Fists are getting a lot of buzz from the internet. The Salamanders can dish out a ton of damage at close range and have some pretty fiendish targeting tricks where you can effectively blank someone’s turn. The Fists can put out a ton of mid range damage and can buff units trying to hold objectives or coming under small arms fire.

FTN Episode 303 – Are You Playing Blackstone Fortress?
Oct 12, 2019
f
Archon Skari joins us this week from the SkaredCast. He talks about his journey inside the Blackstone Fortress. We have a hobby segment this week then we talk about some secret Space Marine tech – Spoiler – C-beams are good.
Hey all,
Skari has been digging the Blackstone Fortress recently so we wanted to have him on to talk about it. Are you playing this board game? Fancy miniatures and a campaign style experience really make it attractive to me.
In the middle of the episode we emphasize the need write down your paint recipe for bases and models. Coming back to a project you’ve had sitting on the shelf for years can be a real problem if you can’t remember the colors you chose. Write down what steps you took and the colors you used.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
Past that we talk a little bit about how to make up for not remembering using oil washes. Remember – care and cleaning of your brushes is a LOT different. The materials involved in oil washes are decidedly more toxic that the acrylic paints you’re used to working with.

FTN Episode 302 – Is the ITC House Rule for Flying Vehicles Dumb?
Oct 05, 2019
f
‘House Rules’ are tricky. Are we at a place in the game where we need a few to keep the competitive fires stoked? We tackle a little bit about that question on this show. We also talk about how Paul was wrong about a Space Marine flyer.
Hey guys,
Space Marines will continue to climb the tournament rankings with their new supplements. We’ve spent a lot of time talking about Iron Hands but this is only the beginning as generals out there really drive in to the subtleties of the other supplements.
I believe I was completely wrong about the Stormhawk interceptor and you can even make a case for things like the Storm Eagle and Fire Raptor still. Those things were a little underpowered for their points a few weeks ago but with the addition of the new Space Marine rules – maybe not.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
The ITC has issued some House Rules for their upcoming tournaments that disallow the use of ‘wobbly model’ for Vehicles with the Fly keyword. You have to be able to completely place the model with NO overhang of it’s footprint (model or the base depending on what you use to measure in the game) on the level it is trying to sit on. Wobbly Model was been abused to the point of obscenity – not because it doesn’t make sense that a model could fly over the spot but because it prevents interaction of other models in the game. Is that the intent? I don’t think so. This house rule helps address that but is it a bridge too far?

You will have a good time. It will be a full ITC format event and an excellent opportunity to get ITC overall and faction points.

FTN Episode 301 – What is the Best Space Marine Troop Now?
Sep 28, 2019
f
Episode 301 and we’re talking about Space Marine Troop options. We cover the ones we really haven’t spoken too much about in the past and that’s a shame… For my persona list I think I’ve settled on the Incursors but please give it a listen and tell us where we go wrong. It’s nice having way more than two options to talk about though…
Hey all,
I sort of gave it away in the intro paragraph but there is a lot of variety in the space marine troop section now. ‘Why’ you’re taking what you’re taking is a much better question to ask now. You’re not just trying to fill up a battalion or two, you can get some real value out of your troop slots now.
It’s not just a tax or a chumps that will sit in one place on the table. We hint around this but you get to actually play with your figures again and they can be an active part of your strategy and not just derpy troop pawns.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
In the show I discount the use of Stormhawks. Since recording I’ve come full circle on that for Iron Hands so expect a little bit of a reversal on that next week.

FTN Episode 300 – This Is Spar… Ahem – Forge The Narrative!
Sep 21, 2019
f
Wow.. 300 of these bad boys. Thanks for joining us. We’re joined by Pete Foley from the GW Book and Box studio for a very special segment and look inside one of the design teams. Later in the show we go over an unconventional Space Marine list that nearly took down a giant tournament. What are you guys brewing?
Hey guys,
We are incredibly thankful to our special guest, Pete Foley, this week. We get a candid look into his journey with Games Workshop and some insight to how the current design studio operates. We talk about his involvement in various areas of the company and how he keeps the hobby fresh for himself.
In the second part of the show we talk about a buddy of mine and his ‘unconventional’ Space Marine list. I say unconventional but this guy has been an innovator in Space Marine list design for years. It was very interesting to see what he put together.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
His list relies a lot on the Character Auras and Heavy Bolters. Like.. A lot of Heavy Bolters. It’s something we’ve flirted a lot with on the show before but he actually made it work. Another buddy also suggested Contemptor Mortis Dreads with double Lascannon Arms. For 168ish points and buffs and stratagems you can layer on them they are a compelling option vs Lascannon Predators.

FTN Episode 299 – Welcome Our New Iron Overlords
Sep 15, 2019
f
In this episode we run down the highlights from Codex Supplement Iron Hands and Raven Guard. Both are good and bring a lot to the table for those factions. The Iron Hands are winning the Space Marines arms race and should be wining games hand over fist. I’ll show myself out…
Hey all,
We simply gush over the Iron Hands combos and rules this week. This book is a powerhouse. It’s hard to not like it because the powers and abilities are themed so well with the lore but man… It makes for a strong army list. We’ll see a lot of people jumping ship from other Marine factions to play Iron Hands. Adam Camilleri joins us from the Down Under Network. You don’t want to miss this.
You can create some impressive gun line castles that will be incredibly hard for your opponent to dig out. We’ll see some forge world dreads (like Leviathans) that were already popular in tournaments make it to the field with buffed up rules.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
In the second part of the show we talk about the Raven Guard. The power comes a lot more low key for these guys. They are good at Stealth and taking out characters. A lot of their abilities are anchored to that.

FTN Episode 298 – Admech Transports Change the Game
Sep 08, 2019
f
We kick the show off talking a little bit about the Space Marine FAQ and the Drop Pod nerf. Reggie Sanchez from the Crucible joins Paul and Josh to talk about the success of Admech at the NOVA Open and how their new transport breathes a TON of new life into that faction.
Hey guys,
We don’t spend a ton of time on the Marine FAQ but the changes to the Drop Pods via the errata are interesting. I feel like the original rule was incredibly intentional but we see that the clear intent for the game as a whole is to have all your toys on the table by turn 3. I don’t mean to say that we won’t see things that break that rule but the rules writers don’t seem to want that to be ‘too accessible.’ Cheaper Drop Pods meant we were going to see it a lot. I mention this on the show but as a positive I think we’ll see a ton more diversity in Marine builds and there will be many fewer feel bad games against them.
Adeptus Mechanicus… We haven’t covered it much and that is a clear misstep on our part. The success of the Skorpius Dunerider and the Disentigrator at the NOVA speaks for itself. Tons of shots, tons of wounds and can be a target for Admech Stratagems. The secret is out on these things and we think it’s going to bring about a host of new Admech builds. This is a good thing. The Adeptus Mechanicus is one of the unique factions at Games Workshop that doesn’t share inspiration from another universe.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
Reggie tells us about the Crucible. The tournament is coming up next month in Orlando. This is a can’t miss event for a lot of people. Please consider putting it on your schedule. It’s the 3rd event in the Armageddon Series. Many awesome prizes will be awarded and you get to play against some of the best 40k players in the world.

FTN Episode 297 – NOVA Predictions and Preview Reactions
Aug 30, 2019
The NOVA Open is an amazing convention run by some great friends of the show. Jim Vesal joins Paul to give his predictions for the NOVA open singles and invitational tournament. Some of the top players in the world will be gathered and it’s anyone’s game. We then react to the Games Workshop previews and close out the show talking about ‘how’ to have an army list discussion
Hey hey,
After a brief introduction to the show Paul and Jim jump right into the mix predicting what will reign at the NOVA Open. It will be interesting to see how close we become when it’s all said and done. The mission format is a bit different than ITC missions the differences are subtle enough that people may bring a list they’ve been used to rather than something specifically for the format.
Those that are able to really thread the needle on the format differences may have a significant advantage. The Win/Loss format is very unforgiving.

FTN Episode 296 – Ultramarines Supplement Tech
Aug 25, 2019
Paul and Ricky pull down a two-hander in this episode. We cover some tech from the Ultramarines Supplement. The rules are compelling enough to break the ‘build molds’ from the previous Codex. Games Workshop has made following the Codex Astartes pretty sexy.
Hey all,
Robute Gilliman is no longer an auto include if you’re fielding the boys in blue. Its kinda neat that this codex has busted the door wide open. I’ve been in conversations all week with my playtest buddies about what the ‘best’ things to use are and the jury is still out.
Some folks are telling me that I’m foolish to include the Invictor Warsuit. Those people are obviously crazy, right?! Taking two Battalions and Calgar nets you 15 Command Points before you start getting one back a turn. This means you may end up with MORE than enough CP to pull off the spicy tricks every turn of the game.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
Calgar, a Chaplain with a jump pack, Chronos in a Diemos Vindicator Laser Destroyer, Tigerious, 3 Intercessor Squads, 3 Scout Squads, 2 Drop Pods, 3 Invictor Warsuits, 2 Eliminator Squads, a Squad of Inceptors and a squad of Aggressors is right around 2k points. This is a rough draft of an untested list but once you add in a few Stratagem tricks I think this list may have some legs.

In the last segment we talk about ‘Counts As’ Space Marine forces. There seems to be a lot of feel bads around people using attractive rules with armies they don’t feel like are painted the right color. Is this fair? What matters most to you? Is being WYSIWYG enough?

FTN Episode 295 – Codex Space Marines – Beware the Invictor
Aug 16, 2019
We take a deeper dive in Codex Space Marines this week. In the preshow we tried to make a bare bones Brigade just for the additional Command Points but eh… It wasn’t working out. If feel like you had a lot of toys but it wasn’t a cohesive force of supportive units… Listen to figure out where we went wrong.
Hey guys,
The reviews are in. The Space Marines are good with lots of good units. There have been improvement to existing units and some brand new units to choose from. The Invictor Warsuit is one of those units. Man… It’s taken some heat due to the model but the rules are banging.
In the last updates units like Aggressors and Inceptors got improvements but they are even better now with the Shock Assault rule and an increase to their wounds and attacks. This is before you add in Chapter Tactics.
Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
The hard part will be deciding what to take. Like we kick off with, the challenge will be figuring out how to make a ‘cohesive’ and supportive force. Units like the Chaplain are going to assist with this. They are basically an auto include how with their ability to buff themselves and the units around them. What do you think? What are you most looking forward to about getting it on the table?

You will have a good time. It will be a full ITC format event and an excellent opportunity to get ITC overall and faction points.

FTN Episode 292 – Time Waits For No Man – Then The Complaining Starts
Jul 26, 2019
We’re back! Sorry for missing last week. In this episode we start of talking about timed Warhammer 40k Tournament games. Then we’re joined by Matthias Weeks from Adeption. After that we review Warcry and finish out talking Chaos Knights. It’s a double sized episode.
Hey hey
Part one is about Chess Clocks in 40k. It’s the way of the future but when the time runs out what happens? I can tell you – the 7 stages of grief.. We need hard defined rules but we also need experience and ‘comfort’ using the clock. Superstar Jim Vesal gives us his perspective after playing all over North America.
Part two Paul sits down with Matthias Weeks from Adpeticon. The Golden Daemon is coming back to the US! This is just one of the many exciting things planned for Adpeticon 2020. Hope you enjoy the segment.
Part three is about Warcry – the hot new Age of Sigmar skirmish game releasing soon from GW. I tell you.. I’m impressed. The game has a nice flow to it with easy to get rules and fast paced turns. My buddy and I breezed through a game and had fun doing it. Can’t wait to get deeper into this.
Part four we talk Chaos Knight theory. Jim gives an unsympathetic review of how Chaos Knights fit into current army lists and what you need to take to make them as successful as they can be. Let us know what you think!

FTN Episode 291 – Here Come The Chaos Knights – Review
Jul 12, 2019
Paul and Skari from the Skaredcast team up again to talk about the Chaos Knight codex. Despite their creepy and bulky visage these things can be fast! Expect quality shooting from giant robots that zip all around the battlefield.
Hey all
Paul and Skari make our way through the Chaos Knight Codex. It’s a thin but neat book. The Knights don’t get the variety of multiple distinct houses like their imperial cousins but they more than make up for it with the sheer usefulness of their traits, stratagems and relics.
There are a TON of good options here. You can make a knight a psyker.. you can make psyskers fear your knight. You can be super stompy… You can be super killy… Basically you build out a knight that you think best suits your list design and not be encumbered by a specific paint scheme (if you like to mix lore with your stats).
Every section of this book contains a few gems and this snuggles right up to the Chaos Soup lists out there right now.
Finishing moves is back where we talk a little bit more on Contrast paints and the practical application. Please hit me up on instagram @fightswithdice or on twitter @warmaster_tpm to see the Pink Horrors we talk about on the show.

FTN Episode 290 – Can You Handle The Hot New Custodes Tech?
Jul 06, 2019
Paul and Adam Camilleri put in a tow hander this show. We discuss Custodes tech, Daemons, and traveling with an army. New and old players of these armies may end up learning something… If not, maybe you can get some insight on what you may see out there in the field.
Hey guys
Adam Camilleri from the Down Under Network. joins Paul for this show. We jump right into it talking about Custodes and how you can trade that high point cost for efficiency on the table. It’s really interesting just how wide open the field is for what you will actually see on the tabletop these days.
Paul is back on the Daemon train. Adam asks what he would take if the LVO was tomorrow. With contrast paints… the Daemon army fast track is a reality. I think there’s some interesting tricks you can play there after you’ve taken your obligatory 600 points of Nurgle.
This is a bit of a short show this week as we juggled holiday/vacation schedules. Everything should be back to normal next week. I’m trying to arrange an ATC team special.
In the back half of the show we talk about Function of Form with tournament terrain and which we prefer. What do you say? Would you routinely trade the ‘look’ of the terrain for function at tournaments for your average experience?
The hobby segment will be back next week for real! You won’t want to miss the dramatic return of Finishing Moves, ha!

FTN Episode 289 – Get Ready For The Tau and Chaos Meta
Jun 29, 2019
Back from the Ironman and getting set for the ATC – Paul gives a brief rundown on the games he played last weekend. In the middle of the show we’re joined by Adam Camilleri from the Down Under Network then we close out talking about the top 5 Stratagems in the game and meta shifts.
Hey all
4-1! Not bad… I played against great opponents this past weekend and a variety of lists. I’ll definitely be back next year to this event. I had a blast and it was nice to test my ATC list a little early against an ‘all comers’ field.
I talk a little bit about the games in the first part of the show. Then I sit down with Adam Camilleri from the Down Under Network. They are really helping the scene on the other side of the world. We’ll be checking in with them again for sure.
In the last part of the show we kick the segment off talking about Meta Shifts at tournaments but then segue to talk about the top 5 Stratagems. Please let us know where went wrong.
To us, the Vect effects take the top prize followed by a controversial choice of Veterans of the Long War. Please let us know your top five on our facebook page or comment on the post.
For hobby progress.. This is the one or two week break between tournaments. I’m letting the brush rest. Ha! Back to it soon.

FTN Episode 288 – The Last Episode About Guard Lists
Jun 21, 2019
Its time for the rubber to hit the road and the Astra Militarum list Paul has been talking about will get its first test out in the wild. We’re getting ready for the ATC, and a few tournaments in the Armageddon Series. I hope you see you out there. In this show we also review Warhammer Adventures and Contrast Paints.
Hey hey
For the Iron Man tournament coming up – 5 games in one day with social drinking – I’ve decided to go with a low mental tax list. What I mean by that is that the stratagems are fairly streamlined. There are one or two things you do consistently every round so you aren’t having to ‘figure it out’ every turn.
We’ll see if it works out. I think the list has enough tricks and a storm of lead to be competitive. With a little luck I’ll make it to the podium.
Contrast Paints. Are they magic? Magic is real and the applications of these paints is real too. While I am not having the ‘right out the pot success’ that a lot of others are seeming to have I have already worked them into my normal paint routine. Just yesterday I was able to use Black Templar to one coat a Chimera’s tank tracks. Like, seriously one brush stroke. Guilliman Flesh is amazing.
We take a moment to review Warhammer Adventures now that I’ve finished the first book. It’s good. the 40k novel was an easy read and engaged my youngest son. I highly recommend it if you were on the fence.
The hobby segment is basically about the application of the Contrast Paints. There are tons of reviews out there. The best one I’ve come across is Epic Duck Studios on youtube. Please check them out.

FTN Episode 287 – Evolve or Die! All the Top Players are Doing It
Jun 13, 2019
The title is a little tongue in cheek but the sentiment is real. Last year and early this year we saw some lists emerge as the clear tournament juggernauts. Now the field is wide open and we’ve seen a good amount of variance on the table. We’re no where close to stagnation but the tides are continuing to turn.
Hey all
In the first part of the show we basically tee up the second part.. Superstar Jim Vesal joins us again to talk about his continued tournament success and falling just short of a couple of final tables. Honestly… that happens more than we care to think but it’s given us an opportunity to speak about retrospection in his games and how to look at situations that may have truly been avoidable through a different line of play.
Jim is wonderful to speak with and we really appreciate him coming on. It will be fun to track his lists and progress through this tournament season. He’s coming south of the border and will be playing at the ATC. It will be nice to run into him and lock horns if we’re able.
Chris and Josh jump back in for the last part of the show. We talk a little bit about getting our hands on the Contrast Paint line. Some people are doing some amazing stuff out there.
We talk a little bit about the evolution of Paul’s guard army.. so much new stuff to paint, ha. I think I’ve settled on a list and I’ll post it soon if anyone is interested.
We center this around our journeys with Orks and Astra Militarum but this sort of thing applies to all lists.

FTN Episode 286 – Why Am I Not Winning at Warhammer 40k?
Jun 08, 2019
Val and Paul jam this episode – we examine when too much of a good thing is bad and a couple of objective ways to evaluate your performance on the tabletop. We talk about different ways to evaluate a unit’s effectiveness to YOU.
Hey all
Last week I didn’t put the Alliance Open in the show notes. You heard us speaking with them in the show but if you haven’t checked out their site yet, please do!
I think we make talking about base size interesting in this episode. Its not just a ‘whatever’ thing. Its something you can actual consider when you’re making your army list. The ‘physics’ of the game play a huge role in the top end of 40k play. Please let us know list design changes you’ve made with this sort of thing in mind.
We ask when can you have too much of a good thing? It’s possible that you can load your army up with tons of efficient or durable units but you might be missing out on some key things that help you ‘win’ a series of games. Remember, a tournament isn’t just one battle – it’s a war! ha.
Looking at the game from a nose to tail perspective is something we can lose from time to time. Its easy to blame dice, the opponent, the terrain, etc. but there are tons of things we can control – the amount of variance we’ll accept and the stuff we actually put into our army.
We center this around our journeys with Orks and Astra Militarum but this sort of thing applies to all lists.

FTN Episode 285 – Is Netlisting in Warhammer 40k OK?
May 31, 2019
Army building is a personal journey sometimes. Sometimes you can save a lot of time borrowing list ideas from other people. We often think of netlisting as just taking point for point in a tournament winner’s list but it’s also just fine to get ideas from other people.
Hey hey,
So sorry that we missed last week. I hope that things calm down schedule wise for everyone soon so we can get back to the normal rotation. I missed it! Josh Ginn fills in this week. He’s a panelist from a LONG time ago and now he’s back. Glad he could pinch in this week.
Netlisting is fine. There is no reason not to do it. It happens in almost every competitive environment. If you can’t get out in front of the curve you should at least embrace it if you plan to do well in competitive events.
I don’t see anything wrong borrowing the ideas of others. It even feels good to see your ideas used by other people in games like this. There is a ‘stigma’ to but that stigma basically comes from haters who want to disparage the netlister because they didn’t come up with the idea themselves. So what?
Borrowing ideas like this is a time saver. I am definitely not suggesting that borrowing ‘intellectual property’ is a good idea. That’s theft and wrong. But there is no ‘ownership’ of a good list idea. If you think it’s something that’s right for you then by all means build and play it. You’re the one who has to buy, build and paint the models.
It’s also fun to innovate. If you’re struggling to come up with something you like its very possible you need to use one of these other successful lists as a base then sub out some stuff you don’t like and then add in what you do. Careful with changing too much before you test it though..
The Wrong Way Kids will be putting on their first official public event later this year the Armageddon Series: Coastal Assault. Tickets are up for sale right now. Please join us. You will have a good time. It will be a full ITC format event and an excellent opportunity to get ITC overall and faction points.

FTN Episode 284 -Playtest Playtest Playtest – Nothing Beats It
May 18, 2019
Paul talks about a couple of his playtest games this past week. We talk about it a lot but nothing replaces playtesting. It can, in the long run, save you tons of time and money. Skari joins us to talk about it and media influencing. In the middle of the show we’re joined by one of the organizers from Battle for the Peak – a 40k tournament.
Hey all,
I played two of the Astra Militarum variants I’ve been working on this past weekend and learned a lot. The ‘stronger’ of the builds did the worst which really took me back to the thoughts on how important it is to playtest games. You can find yourself loading up too heavily on the lower performing units or maybe you didn’t realize you were building in a weakness for yourself when you were crafting your super powerful ‘can’t be beaten list.’
That exactly what happened in at least one of the games we briefly talk about. Had I not put it on the table to see how it would work out I could have made some seriously expensive purchases out of context. We can read a powerful unit on paper but sometimes just seeing in the flow of the game is what we need.
In the middle of the show John Lennon joins us to talk about the tournament he ran a couple of weeks ago, the Battle for the Peak. This event is in Florida in the US, using ITC missions and format. It’s also the kick off event for the Armageddon Series. You can find the current Armageddon Series standings here.
In the back part of the show Skari and Paul talk about Influencers. We get asked a lot about how people can get into this game and we try to share a few thoughts.
The Wrong Way Kids will be putting on their first official public event later this year the Armageddon Series: Coastal Assault. Tickets are up for sale right now. Please join us. You will have a good time. It will be a full ITC format event and an excellent opportunity to get ITC overall and faction points.

FTN Episode 283 – The Lion the Witch and the Ynarri Changes
May 10, 2019
We kick the show off talking about the Ynnari changes in this month’s White Dwarf. This another great issue with tons of painting and hobby articles. It also has a full index re-write for Ynarri. This changes are significant. It radically changes how this faction will be played. Later in the show we talk about Dark Angels!
Hey guys
Ynarri get a massive overhaul this month. It might not be exactly clear when we’re talking about it but when you create your detachment you can choose to declare it a Ynarri detachment. This doesn’t ‘replace’ the faction key world but it does lock you out from being about to use the various other space elf Stratagems etc. I apologize if that isn’t clear in our audio message as we may have not specifically covered this nuance after we kicked off the recording.
Strength from Death becomes strictly melee based and no longer gives the benefit of ‘double actions.’ This will be a MUCH welcomed change for Ynarri opponents. This cuts down on the current builds offensive power immensely. Dark Reapers and Shining Spears will still be good, just not OP – Maybe.
In the second part of the show we let Ricky go off about Dark Angels. Strangely enough he’s the number 3 Dark Angel player in the world at the time of recording in the ITC. Who knew? The Secret is out.
He talks about what’s working for him in his lists but we’d love to hear from you about what you’re taking with this faction if you’re going for a Single Faction List. We’ll continue to do the faction focuses so if there are ANY armies out there that you’re doing well with and not choosing to dip into allies please let us know.

FTN Episode 282 – Chat with Superstar Jim Vesal and FAQ Talk
May 04, 2019
Paul talks with Jim Vesal about his success and approach to the game. We kick the show off with a brief FAQ discussion and then get into a great segment with Jim.
Hey hey,
Getting back to normal this week we start the show with Paul and Val briefly talking about the FAQ release. Just about every faction in the game got touched so it’s impossible for us to go over this week in too much detail.
I was traveling this week for work so I apologize in advance for the late publish of this show. Hopefully it’s worth the wait The insight that Jim gives is refreshing and its really cool to see it playing out in his stream of tournament wins.
We get a brief look inside the mind of a great player and cool person. He’s a long time devotee to the ruinous powers. With all the love Chaos is getting it will be cool to see how his lists develop.
Val and Paul close out the show with a little more FAQ talk and hopes of what will hopefully add more diversity to the tournament tabletops.
The Wrong Way Kids will be putting on their first official public event later this year the Armageddon Series: Coastal Assault. Tickets are up for sale right now. Please join us. You will have a good time. It will be a full ITC format event and an excellent opportunity to get ITC overall and faction points.

FTN Episode 281 – 3 Fanbois Butcher the Lore and Other Weirdness
Apr 26, 2019
I’m not even sure where to start with this one.. We lore wishlist for 30 or so minutes. I apologize to the tournament players who download this. We’ll be back to normal next week. We kick of the show talking about the Horus Heresy and move on to Abaddon defeating student loans. Then we chat a bit about the Grey Knight responses we received from last week.
Hey all,
I think every now and then we end up with a silly episode. This is it.
We sort of gush over Sanguinius for a while and then end up talking about how the fall of Cadia was a good thing. Bad guys offer a different perspective.
We talk a little bit about checking on your buddies during trying times. We joke a bit about it but it’s a real topic. I hope we don’t come off as too flippant about it. Know that it is something we understand and appreciated.
There was a ton of response from our Grey Knight episode. It was a lot of folks telling us we were wrong to suggest the amount of Dread Knights we did. It’s fair to point out that GK have the second lowest win ratio of any codex right now so maybe the suggestions from the listeners are a response to that and the lack of Dread Knights is what they took out to help that win ratio start to climb.
Coming up at the end of the month a few of us will be at the Barnyard Brawl. I’m happy to be a sponsor of this event and will be playing. The Wrong Way Kids will be putting on their first official public event later this year the Armageddon Series: Coastal Assault. Tickets are up for sale right now. Please join us. You will have a good time. It will be a full ITC format event and an excellent opportunity to get ITC overall and faction points.

FTN Episode 280 – Can You Win With The Worst?
Apr 19, 2019
We’re talking about Grey Knights this week. Recently they climbed a slot to be the second worst performing faction in the game right now, just above Blood Angels. Is it possible to win with these guys? Is it you or the Army List?
Hey hey,
Ricky is back this week to join Chris and I in the first part of the show. We’re then joined in part two by Skari from the Skaredcast. We’re talking about Grey Knights… they were once a dominant faction but have now been relegated to the bottom tables. Is it is the codex or the players?
The codex lacks a lot of synergy and power.. they definitely lost the Stratagem/Chapter Tactic lottery. Still.. There is life in this book and hope for Grey Knight players. We stat away from wishlisting or complaining about the codex and instead stick to ‘what we would take’ if we plan to win more than we lose.
You can’t afford to take a lot fat in your list and your troops are too expensive to pack in an excess of Command Points. That seems to just fine though… The Stratagems you want to use are inexpensive and matter most at the start of the game when you have the most to burn anyway.
Start with Grand Master Dreadknights and three Strike Squads.
Coming up at the end of the month a few of us will be at the Barnyard Brawl. I’m happy to be a sponsor of this event and will be playing. The Wrong Way Kids will be putting on their first official public event later this year the Armageddon Series: Coastal Assault. Tickets are up for sale right now. Please join us.

FTN Episode 279 – Are There Sacred Cows in 40k List Design?
Apr 12, 2019
After a little preamble we talk about list design. We talk about how to detach yourself from the things you want to have in the list and boil it down to the things you need. We also talk about some upcoming events and tournaments.
Hey guys,
Thank you all for listening and the support. We have a couple of t-shirts up for sale on Teespring. Please check them out. After a lot of thought I decided to do a pilot run on this service. Please check them out here. Please also consider leaving us a five star review in whatever service you listen to the show. I’ll read every five star review on air.
In the first part of the show we chat about our real world science and the first pictures complied of a black hole 55 million light years away. It’s crazy to think about but also something that gives good perspective in life.
In part two get get down and dirty with army list design. We talk specifically about an Ork list but then more general about how you make sense of all the options that an army provides. Its easy to get distracted by the shiny toys and the things we think we need…
I’m as guilty as anyone else. – I play the Wouldn’t It Be Cool If scenario in my head and look to pull of unrealistic combos or thin efficiencies during the game. That adds up to taking losses. We don’t want that! Hopefully this chat helps you take an objective look as well.
Coming up at the end of the month a few of us will be at the Barnyard Brawl. I’m happy to be a sponsor of this event and will be playing. The Wrong Way Kids will be putting on their first official public event later this year the Armageddon Series: Coastal Assault. Tickets are up for sale right now. Please join us.

Let the tools do the work. I’ve been struggling with motivation a bit so I’ve been looking for any time savers or ‘cheats’ I can find for hobby work. I’ve fallen back on assembly to get me through these times and the Assembly Paint Handle from GW is the truth!

We start the show with an Adpeticon 2019 recap then later in the show we chat about how to control the variance in your army list. We do this with an eye specifically on the ITC Best In Faction award changes. We have two special segments in this episode too. It’s not quite a double sized show but I hope it makes up for the gaffe last week.
Hey hey,
Archon Skari joins me again this week. The regular guys were out with family stuff or recovering from the big Adpeticon weekend. I don’t make it a secret that I’m not happy about not making the Team Tournament Showcase but we still had a great time. We didn’t do as well as we wanted but eh.. it just wasn’t our year. It didn’t dampen the shine of the convention.. In fact, the event was just as great or better than it has ever been before. THOUSANDS of gamers all in one place and it was epic.
I caught up with Carl Tuttle from the ICs this past weekend and we recorded a spot face to face. I hope you enjoy it. I always have a good time with Carl. Now he’s an official Warhammer Hero!
Part two with Skari and I is about making changes to your army list to minimize the variance in your die rolls. Most codexes have ‘support’ options that maybe you don’t take. Maybe you get tired of not seeing the benefit for most of the game. We argue that it may only take one or two phases over the course of a game to flip your record to a winning score. Maybe picking up an extra hit or over the course of a 5 round tournament ends up making an incremental difference.
When playing with a single faction you’ve got to look for every way to maximize your performance and ‘smooth out’ those rough die rolling rounds. It happens to all of us. Bad die rolls don’t have to be the reason you lose the game. It’s so easy to blame the dice and we do play a dice game but sometimes that keeps us from looking objectively at our tactics and our lists.
Caleb Wissenback and Justin Keefer join me from CK Studios to speak about their involvement in the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation and their traveling painting classes. I’ve heard nothing but good things about these classes and I hope you had a chance to meet them at Adepticon. Please check them out.

Finishing Moves this week is another segment on figure salvage. Salvage can be anything from buying something cheap from the internet or a swap meet, getting a figure from a buddy or finding some old figures in your closet. Sometimes you just need to give the figs a little TLC and you can have a modern marvel on your hands.

FTN Episode 277 – New 40k Chaos Unit Review – Vigilus is Ablaze!
Mar 23, 2019
New Chaos Rules will be in your hands soon. The second installment in the Vigilus Campaign goes up for pre-order today. We run down some of thew new units and combos. The second part of the show we talk about improving your tournament results.
Hey all,
Captain Morgan, Val Heffelfinger and Mike Brandt join me on the show this week. In the first part of the show we discuss the new units coming out for Chaos Space Marines with the release of their revised codex and the new Vigilus Abalze book.
Havocs get a big buff and several of the formations in this book will see tournament play. We’ve been drooling over the models too. Abaddon?! Whoa.
In the second part of the show we get a little out there to discuss player potential Ceilings and Floors. Specifically we frame out around how many games in a tournament you can reasonably expect to win performing at the top of bottom of your own potential.
We go one step past that and ask that anyone wishing to improve either of these levels objectively look at the various dials they can ‘fiddle with’ to improve.
Finishing Moves will be back next week!

FTN Episode 276 – Fear is the Mind Killer with David Annandale – Author Interview
Mar 15, 2019
This week we’re joined by the amazing David Annandale to kick off the Warhammer Horror series we’ll soon be finding on the bookshelves. In between learning about these awesome books we do a rundown of a few units in the ShadowSpear box set.
Hey guys,
In Part One we give a few announcements about the Crucible tournament and the Costal Assault tournaments in FL. Both of these will be a part of the Armageddon Series. Something we’re trying out here in the south to see how it helps get folks out to tournaments and as another opportunity to award some prizes. We also talk about the Space Marine Phobos detachments.

FTN Episode 275 – HUGE ITC Changes Coming – Points and Missions
Mar 07, 2019
Reece Robins from Frontline Gaming and the ITC joins us this week to talk about several massive changes happening for the 2019 ITC season. This is a great jumping on point if you are not a current ITC participant. Already playing for points? Then you want to hear about these changes.
Hey guys,
The first thing we talk about, and likely the biggest change to the ITC this season is HOW you earn points. Before the scale was such that the larger you event, with the more rounds, the more points you earned. This is still the case but instead of mega super events like the LVO with a high number of rounds and a million players skewing the points so dramatically it will now have a much smoother impact.
You will still need to compete in the larger events to challenge the top spots in Factions or for high placement in the ITC in general but someone doing mediocre in one of these mega events will no longer ‘wipe out’ your RTT and GT scores.
This, in theory, will still continue to encourage those local scenes and still incentivize players to attend smaller Grand Tournament (by ITC standards) level tournaments. It’s a win/win, I think. It’s certainly an incorporation of feedback from current ITC players. The ITC continues to evolve and it’s got me excited.
We are approaching Adepticon and at the time of this writing I’ve painted almost 3000 points for my team. 1000 points left to go… It’s a little overwhelming since I started in January. Thanks a lot for everyone who’s following on twitter @warmaster_tpm and on Instagram @fightswithdice. It really means a lot.
No finishing moves in this episode but keep your ears dialed into this space. I may get time this week to publish another episode to make up for last week. There will no doubt be hobby stuff there!

FTN Episode 274 – Welcome to Shilltown – Upcoming Events You Can’t Miss
Feb 23, 2019
In this episode we mostly talk about a few upcoming events you don’t want to miss – Including a couple of high demand pere-registration dates. Of course we have the normal dose of tactics and hobby talk. Chris, Mike and Paul jibber jabber..
Hey all,
We run down a few events happening soon in this episode. Chris speaks about the annual Wargames for Warriors events that have now becoming an amazing month long drive in Utah. There are multiple ways to support this amazing event. Please check it out if you have the means. Organized by a veteran for veterans.
NOVA Open Registration Opens March 1st at 8pm EST. This is a high demand ticket for the limited tournament swag and merchandise. This is their TENTH anniversary. The hype is real. If you even think you want to grab one of these tickets or some limited release gear then make sure you’re parked at the computer next Friday.
Coming up April 27th-28th we’ll be attending the Barnyard Brawl Convention. Tickets are on sale for that right now. This event promises great terrain, great atmosphere and a competitive crowd. I attended this event last year and had a great time. A lot of folks from my crew will be there and looking to brawl. Hope to see you there.
Day 17 and still no Genestealer Cult review from us.. I sincerely apologize. It’s coming!! We may mention of how we’ve shirked our responsibility in this show. Not as a teaser but as a promise that we will delivery the goods complete with tactics and list ideas.
We close out the show talking about TWO hobby things.. One is gold from Morgan. He’s been primarch painting recently and really wanted to push the limits. The other if Fat Washing Whiskey. Yep.. you read that right. Mike B breaks new ground tonight talking about an alternative way to enjoy a beverage. Depending on how this goes we may include this as a monthly segment.

FTN Bonus Episode 27 – Inside the Mind of the LVO Champ – Brandon Grant
Feb 18, 2019
Brandon was gracious enough to sit down with me to talk about his amazing win. We talk in detail about a few of the games and I try to pick is his brain on ‘how’ he came out on top.
Hey all,
Brandon is undoubtedly a great player and I’m happy to get the opportunity to speak with him right on the heels of him winning the largest 40k tournament in the world and as the reigning ITC Champion.
We talk about a few of his more difficult games and not just about the games themselves but how he approaches the Game entirely. We discuss winning when the chips are down and a variety of other topics.
If you are looking to up your game and maybe sharpen your 40k discipline a bit you don’t want to miss this.

FTN Episode 273 – Back to Reality – Imperial Soup is Good
Feb 15, 2019
The guys are back from the LVO mostly in one piece. The Imperials take the crown. Paul was wrong about Orks and the ‘safe’ Yannari bet didn’t work out either. We live in exciting times.
Hey hey,
The LVO was an absolute blast. Frontline and the other organizers did a freaking amazing job. The event ran largely on time and there was no disputing the champion. You can’t take those tow things for granted at things on this scale but wowee.. We got it.
It killed me not to play in this event. I won’t be doing that again… I felt every fiber of my being calling me back to the 40k table.
Even still, I did get in a few games of 40k Kill Team Arena. The game is specifically designed for events like this to run organized play events for Arena. Very little terrain or board objectives needed. Very little space needed to set up the board. A whole lot of fun.
I highly encourage you to check it out if you’ve been on the fence about Kill Team or are looking for a fast paced competitive game with the figures you love.
In the middle of the show Paul is joined by Jay from Discount Games Inc. for a vendor spotlight segment. Jay is into a lot of stuff.. we were able chat with him about a few of those things. Please check out his store and projects.

FTN Episode 272 – Las Vegas Open – By The Numbers, What Are The Odds?
Jan 31, 2019
In this episode we look at the cold hard facts about what you will see at the Las Vegas Open. We were fortunate enough to get a peek at the factions, how often they will appear in list and some of the impressive numbers of certain model/unit choices. We crunch them and comment. We pick our favorites to win it all.
Hey everyone,
Holy Heck… the largest 40k tournament in the world is a fantastic look at the current 40k tournament meta. The Imperium dominates the faction pie with Knights and Astra Militarum being represented the most across the 657 lists we were able to survey. The combined Aeldari forces are close to the top too.
Spread through the tables there will be a crazy amount of Grotesques and Dark Reapers. We’ll see over 400 of the brutish dark-kin models and getting close to 400 Dark Reapers. Not to be out done – we’ll see over 240 AM Company Commanders and pushing 80 AM Tank Commanders.
114 Talos.. Yep. Almost 80 Castellans… 335 Shining Spears.. Wowzer. These are numbers before the absolute final count of lists are in and I only expect these numbers to rise. Its nice to see Blood Angel Captains continue to be represented with an impressive 60 appearances.
The stats are brought to you by our friends at 40k Stats.com and Best Coast Pairings. Thank you very much for allowing us to speak about them.
In the middle of the show Paul is joined by Skari from the SkaredCast. He’s a friend of the show and we’re happy to get him on whenever he’s available. We talk about how his list is evolving with the times.

FTN Episode 271 – Are Funko Pops and Warhammer Adventures Good for 40k?
Jan 26, 2019
We spend the first part of the show talking about how we don’t mind – and also like, the idea of Warhammer not always having to be so serious and Grimdark. Its not for everyone, but it doesn’t have to be. We close out the show talking about how to get back in a game that’s going south for you.
Hey all,
This episode is a bit of Podcast ADD but thanks a lot for coming along for the ride. We kick off the show talking about the upcoming Warhammer Adventure series and the Funko Pops. Things like this exist for almost every major property. We have kiddy or fun versions of very serious things out there like Batman, The Walking Dead, etc. These takes on otherwise very much adult and ‘for serious’ things don’t detract from our enjoyment of the mainline versions of the property. I’m not saying you should by them but the fact they exist shouldn’t bother or threaten anyone. We don’t go off on a rant or anything.. Most of just like another way to enjoy the 40k universe.
After the break we gush a bit about Titanicus. The game continues to come into it’s own and with the recent model releases you’ve got a pretty complete game with lots dynamic list possibilities. Don’t forget to check out our sponsors for some great deals on this product.
Next we talk about how to get control of a game when it’s slipping away from you. We talk about using whatever perfect information you have. You can estimate dice rolls and what your opponent might do but there are a few things you can control. You know how far you can move. You know how far your opponent can move and shoot. You know when you can get completely out of sight from your opponent.
So often I see people ‘guess’ about a few of these things. In a world when we can break out our tape measures and check – there is no reason not to. If you aren’t sure after that, or just want to double confirm, then communicating with your opponent is critical. Have that conversation with them. In ITC missions you need to be able to lock in or deny points every round. Sometimes just killing one unit will also be killing more than your opponent – a quick 2 points for you.
Val will be helping out with some of the CanCon coverage you can check out on Twitch.

FTN Episode 270 – What Will Win The LVO? Bet It All On Green
Jan 17, 2019
Val and Paul kick off the show before we jump into a great segment with Scott the Miniature Maniac. Scott is a crazy talented YouTube content creator putting out great tutorials. Later in the show we break down why the Orks will win the Las Vegas Open.
Hey hey,
We have an almost double sized episode this week. Paul is joined by Scott from the Miniac YouTube Channel. Scott puts out fun to watch and informative content every week. I’m very happy he found time in his schedule to talk with us. His approach to the hobby is refreshing and I feel like I learn something in each of his videos.
Later in the show we focus on what we think will take gold at the Las Vegas Open. This is continuing our Road to the LVO coverage. We talk a fair amount about Orks and try to inject a little of what we think the best ways to beat them will be. Sadly.. there doesn’t seem to be an easy answer. You’ve got to force them to burn their command points inefficiently. Last year I called that Chaos would take the event and I was wrong. Am I wrong this time too?
One of the most exciting things about this game is the variance. Dice rolls aside, match-up, deployment type, terrain… the list goes on but each time I come back to Orks having a huge environmental advantage. They can control the clock, for errors in target priority, dominate in assault and shooting. Its an uphill battle for any opponent.
Finishing moves is back! Yeah.. there is a lot of hobby talk in this episode but I hope it inspires you to get some work done on your own projects. I know a lot of people are pushing to get ready for tournament season.

We talk about using basic ole Skragg Brown for old rust. Simply thinning this color down allows you to paint into the recesses of of a metallic area to instantly give you an old rusty worn effect. If you want to go super crazy.. you can mix in a little more orange to give it a brighter color. The neat thing about this method is that you can control it with the tip of your brush and don’t have to worry about going overboard with a stipple effect.

FTN Episode 269 – Is Matched Play The Ultimate Way To Play 40k?
Jan 11, 2019
We start the show with the premise that the Matched Play Format is the natural conclusion to any 40k player’s journey. It is a way for players to instantly communicate their expectations for a pickup games and not just for tournaments. What do you think?
Hey all,
We kick off the show with a new player segment encouraging the embrace of Matched Play Rules as soon as you can. The reason is that ‘Matched Play’ rules don’t just give us a solid tournament ruleset, they also smooth out some of the edges of the game. They define and structure our expectations for the fun we can get out of our playtime.
In the middle part of the show we talk about our various tournament rituals leading up to the days before a tournament. We’re specifically referring to the Las Vegas Open but these methods apply to any tournament with any number of rounds.
This is a huge topic and during it we touch on something we’ve covered before about ritualizing your pre-game and early game rounds. We also insert the idea about always planning to go second. With the introduction of Prepared Positions is this what we should all be doing at this point?
We close out the show talking about Mud…. Let’s get dirty.

FTN Episode 268 – We All Make Deployment Mistakes
Jan 04, 2019
As good as I claim to be I still make deployment mistakes that end up costing me the game. It’s easy for us to misjudge exactly what our opponent can do and end up in a tight spot just ‘going through the motions’ until time is called. We shed some light on that stuff this episode to help you avoid the same fate I took this week.
Hey hey,
I think episode we focus on what the Nids and Orks can do to your face… In all seriousness we discuss how quickly and reliably they can get across the field to tie up your lines or otherwise disrupt your plans.
This puts you on lock down for the rest of the game and the sad thing is that it was likely preventable. you may not have ended up winning the game but you could at least ‘play’ the game the whole time. Proper deployment on your side prevents you from having to play on the back foot hoping for successive strings of luck.
In the middle part of the show we’re joined by the ever charming AceFace. John Hickton. We talk about his major tournament happening next weekend but we also talk, and focus, on his charity raffle. This is for a great cause and a perfect way to still be a part of the event even if you can’t make it on sight. This is an opportunity to win some amazing things and have 100% of the proceeds go to the charity. Thanks for at least taking a look.
The last part of the show I’m reminded that I did NOT kick off the first show of the new year with new player tips. Please give me another chance! The second show of the year will have a newer player forucs

FTN Episode 267 – What Are Your Hobby Resolutions for 2019?
Dec 27, 2018
2018 is just about in the books. Paul, Chris and Val run down brief FTN year in review and talk about hobby resolutions for 2019. Carl Tuttle from the ICs joins Paul for a great chat in the middle of the show. Later in the show we continue our Road the the LVO coverage.
Hey all,
We open the show thanking all the listeners lead ourselves into a discussion about Hobby Resolutions for 2019. These are just about ‘painting more models.’ This is also about making some positive changes to get more hobby work done.
Part two has Carl Tuttle join in from the Independent Characters Podcast. It’s always a pleasure to have him on and I enjoy talking to him so much that I thought it would be fun to get him on for an extended segment. We also mention their Camp Fire Relief fund. Please check it out.
We then come back with Chris and Val for a little more hobby talk and then we dive deeper into LVO predictions. Lists will be due soon so deciding what you take is critical.
We promise to kick of the first show of the near year with some new player tips. If you were starting this game all over again what is the sort of thing you’d want to tell yourself?

FTN Episode 266 – What Will Win The Las Vegas Open?
Dec 21, 2018
Mr. Reece Robins joins the show today to talk with us about the largest Warhammer 40,000 Tournament in the world!!! We discuss the recent changes to the ITC Missions, the ITC Code of Conduct and give some tips on what you should be thinking about if you want to win a giant 40k tournament.
Hey hey,
I had lot of fun with this episode. Mike Brandt is with giving his perspective as a player in a major 40k tournament. He was a top contender at last year’s LVO and it’s great to get his insight leading up to the event. In future episodes we’ll be covering what he’s taking and WHY he’s taking it.
Reece gives us some perspective on the event as the lead organizer and then we get down to business talking about what you need to consider if you plan on doing well. A lot of the talk is centered around how to maximize your score with ITC Champion’s Missions.
In part 2 we talk about the Code of Conduct. There are a ton of mixed feelings on this with a large portion of them being ‘Why do we even need this in the first place?!’ Each of us give our perspective on this during the segment. I’m really anxious to hear what people think of this and if they think it will actually have an impact on the 40k tournament scene.
We close the show out, likely in a bit of a reverse order… we talk about things you should consider if you are just getting in to 40k. There are many things to consider before you even buy your first model. This is the start of a series where we focus the conversation to new player needs.

FTN Episode 265 – Are Points Enough To Change The Meta?
Dec 15, 2018
Are point changes enough to make your army better? It looks like generals on every table will have a few extra points to play with so if every army gets better is anyone really better off than they were before Chapter Approved? Yes..
Hey all,
We open up talking about the Vigilus Campaign book and the formations within. People are rightly concerned about the introduction of Formations into the game. They were a big sore spot for players in the previous edition. The designers seem to have it ‘right’ this time. You get some cool tricks and access to a new relic or ability but you have to pay for it. You aren’t forced to build lists a certain way or take ‘tax’ units either. You get to build what you want and if you want ‘more’ rules for it you’ve got to spend Command Points.
I think this an extremely successful approach to Formations. As long as the Stratagems remain appropriately costed no one has anything to worry about.
After the hobby segment we talk about several factions that maybe bubble up to the top after the Chapter Approved point changes – Death Guard, Tau, Daemons and Astra Militarum.
These guys see some point changes where it really counts. Still, winning isn’t just about the points, its how you use them.

Chapter Approved is a shot in the arm for competitive 40k. Instead of going out of their way to make any particular army worse, a whole lot of armies got better. We see radical point reductions for a bunch of struggling factions. We run down some major points and the Sisters of Battle Beta Codex. Check it out!
Hey hey,
I told you I’d make it up to you for missing as week.. This episode is a little longer than normal we’ve got two special guests. Mike Brandt from the NOVA Open and Thomas Riedy – Goatboy from BOLS.
The first part of the show we get right into the point value changes. It would be impossible to list them all in one show and discuss all the nuanced changes. We hit the high points here but promise to continue to cover these subjects in future shows. We might even get a few bonus shows in this week.
In part two of the show we do a deep dive on the Adepta Sororitas. They lose a trick or two from the index but gain a TON more options. The Exorcist will be feared again.
This is a great week for 40k.. campaign stuff, Marneus Prime, point reductions for your favorite models… wow!

FTN Episode 263 – Are You Prepared For The New Ork Meta?
Nov 29, 2018
Orks are now out in the wild but so far their tournament results haven’t caught up to their power potential. We discuss ways to confront the Ork builds we expect to see on this episode. What’s wORKing for you?
Hey all,
I am terribly sorry we missed a week. I know the holiday times always cause schedules to shift but I hate missing an episode. I promise we’ll make it up with some bonus content soon. Thanks for your patience.
We ooh and ahh over the Vigilus Campaign news from the recent weekender at the top of the show. The figures, story and just volume of news is amazing. I genuinely didn’t expect to see it all. We even had a new freaking TITAN put on display.
The move to a more Primaris Space Marine look is expected and none us knew when this was going to happen… it seems like the writing is on the wall now with the release of Calgar in a bigger, better, bluer form. I don’t expect all regular marines to just disappear but If you like playing with guys in power armor and haven’t make the switch to Primaris, it’s likely time to get them on your painting table.
In the second part of the show we discuss a few ways to make fighting Orks more manageable. We talk about about a few things you should pack in every army and give a few tips on Target Priority. This shot in the arm for the ‘meta’ is very welcome. We have a new top tier codex that, just by the fact that it exists, may move at least one more codex into that category.

FTN Episode 262 – Mob Up Is the Truth
Nov 16, 2018
In this show we finally start to narrow down Ork army list suggestions. We also give a tip or two about fighting against Orks. Later in the show we share a time saving tip for your games that just might net you a sportsmanship point or two as well.
Hey guys,
Please pardon the difference in audio sound this week. I’m traveling and forced to rely on the laptop mic.
We don’t say this specifically but we discuss ways that you can ‘play into the orc trap of targeting exactly what they expect you to – units they can turn into tanks with a small Command Point investment. It creates a damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario.
The Orks can pull a little drunken style combat, appearing exposed but really only presenting a false weakness that leaves your first turn of shooting almost completely blanked. When you see them trying this you’ll want to carefully consider your targets.
Later in the show we discuss a cool way to communicate with your opponent to avoid confusion and enhance the play experience for the both of you. With all tips like this you’ve really got to decide what works for you. Are you actually adding value to the game? I think, anything that doesn’t slow the game down and may actually make even the most one sided games seem more enjoyable for all parties is worth taking a look at.

FTN Episode 261 – Hobby Ramblings and Blackstone Fortress 40k Preview
Nov 11, 2018
In the first part of the show we briefly talk about a tournament that happened a couple of weeks ago and do a hobby progress update. Later in the show we give a preview of the 40k datasheets for the Blackstone Fortress models.
Hi all
We were all fighting colds this week but the show must go on!
We lead the show off with some hobby talk. I get lots of questions about ‘how to start painting an army’ and ‘how do you get it done so fast.’ There are no substitutes to putting the time in but you can make the most of that time. The quick way I was planning to paint Ork Flesh didn’t work out so instead of worrying about it too much or trying to force it to work I changed up quickly and got my first squad of Gretchin table ready.
Paul does a brief tournament recap of his games at the Barnyard Brawl a few weeks ago. The team that puts on the Barnyard did a great job. I had a blast, 5 games against friendly people. I managed to pull down a bracket win and walked away with some great price support.
In part 2 we talk about some of the 40k stats from the Blackstone Fortress. The game comes complete with rules to use ALL of the models in Warhammer 40,000. At the time of recording we had just started to see the previews so expect more to come on this.

FTN Episode 260 – Ork Warboss Edition – Are You Ready For The Green Tide?
Nov 01, 2018
I’m joined by two legendary Warbosses this week, Val Heffelfinger and Marc Parker to talk about how they will be building their Codex Ork Lists. I try to nail them down on Choppa vs Shoota and try to convince them that Shokk Attack Guns are great.. They get me back on the right track.
Hi Guys
Please get your pre-orders in for the new Ork stuff (and whatever else you’re building) from our Sponsor links below. You’re going to want to beat the Gretchin rush. 60 of these little guys will be your new best friends. Lootas seem like they’re coming back too.
We get into the finer points of building a list with the new codex this week and I like what the Warbosses have come up with. You’re gonna new boyz, you’re gonna need grots and you’re gonna need to get across the table.
Thankfully the Codex helps you do that and gives you cheap and orky ways to keep your figures alive. We hammer this a lot in the show but the Orks with ABSOLUTELY have an impact on the tournament meta. Index Orks were pretty good too. This means even the casual players are going to get a massive power bump. The Orks could end up being the terrors of the kitchen table.
When I say ‘impact on the meta’ I mean that the ynnari lists will need to change. For instance the list I took with heavy flyers this past weekend would quake in it’s boots facing off against orks. The Shining Spears, from other lists, wouldn’t be able to dent the ork list because there aren’t enough ‘high value targets.’ Everything is cheap, everything is killy. The Green Tide is going to be a serious issue.
The Mob Up, Grot Shields and the Force Field Projekta Stratagems are going to insulate the Orks from loosing a lot of kill points in the early game. This is precisely what they need to do to make it across the board and tear heads off. Get ready!

FTN Episode 259 – Orks Codex Review – Get Your Waaaaagh On
Oct 27, 2018
Ork players are gonna love this! Your wait for a codex is being WELL rewarded. Talking about the ‘good stuff’ in this book will take more than one episode. There won’t be one way to play these boyz.. this codex has tons of options. Check it out!
Hey hey,
Val joins the regular crew this week while we run down Codex Orks. Wow… This book is great. The Clan rules are awesome and I think you can make a case while they are all good and competitive. You want mounted orks? You can do it. You want boots all over the place? You got it.
I think we’ll see Battlewagons make a come back. You can make this thing T8 and slap a deathrolla on it for some serious punch. We talk about a couple of Stratagems on the show that help it out also. The ork vehicles allow you to pile in all sorts of boyz – including the Stormboyz.
Stormboyz get Deep Strike back. There are ways to bring these guys screaming onto the table and ways to help them charge then ways to help them fight better. You’ll see these guys too. There is a TON of good stuff in this book. The first list you try to make will likely be way over points, ha.
Speed Freeks will be a thing. One of the obvious builds from the book is a vehicle/bike based rush list. You can reliably get them all the way across the table for a turn 1 charge. Sure, your opponent can see it coming but there may not be much they can do about it. I’m not kidding when I say there are so many good builds in this book.
If you’ve saved your old DeffKoptas you’re gonna be pleased too. They get a massive point drop along with Trukks. Basically, everything you’ve ever wanted to do with Orks you’re going to be able to do now. You want to make giant mobs and pile rules on them? Yeah… get used to seeing 25 lootas in a squad.

FTN Episode 258 – Speed Freeks Will Go FAST.
Oct 20, 2018
Another mega episode of FTN… We review the Speed Freeks box set, talk to Battlehaven and to the awesome guys behind Hagglethorn Hollow, currently on Kickstarter.
Hey all,
Chris and Paul talk about Speed Freeks in the first part of the show. Vroooom! This is a fast and furious game (see what I did there?) centered around the Orks. It sort of a successor to Gorkamorka and includes rules for all the upcoming Ork land based vehicle releases.
The game comes with 6 warbikes, 2 brand new vehicles, rules, dice and a set of Ork Scrap for battlefield terrain. The new vehicles went together without a hitch.
The next segment Chris and Paul sit down with Sarah Hollingshead from Battlehaven. We’ve had Sarah on the show before but we like touching base from time to time to hear about the new developments with their gaming vacation destination.
The hobby section this week is about defining success for yourself. It’s cool to press yourself and want to compete against the next guy but really defining/controlling what it takes for YOU to be happy what you’re doing is a big step.
The last hour so of the show Paul talks with Johnny and Ike from Tabletop Troubadour Games. Their Hagglethorn Hollow product is EPIC. We talk about their backgrounds, the journey to the product and generally gush about how awesome it is. At the time of posting their kickstarter has 5 days left. You do not want to miss this opportunity. In addition to the campaign they are posting regular updates on their Facebook page.

FTN Episode 257 – Assault Is NOT Dead – Are You Doing It Right?
Oct 12, 2018
Another jam packed almost double sized episode. In this episode we break down three great assault units and how to use them. Midway through the show we’re joined by Mike Brandt to talk about Kill Team Command Rosters. We close out the show with a sit down with our newest sponsor to talk about Chess Clocks in tournament play.
Yo,
On the back of the battle report JP and I filmed this past weekend I thought it would be cool to talk about a few assault units. Past just talking about the units we also talk about the best things you can take in their respective codexes to buff them up. We argue that for sub 500 points you can have an extremely disruptive element in your army.
What I mean is if you have a ‘ticking time bomb’ assault unit like Bloodletters or a fat unit of Death Company that can Wings of Fire at any moment your opponent must react to it with their deployment or fear over extending themselves in the early turns. This can allow you to scoop up a few extra ITC tournament mission points.
In the middle of the show Paul talks with Mike Brandt from the NOVA Open to talk about Kill Team Combat Roster building and how the game is ‘meant’ to be played. Its a great talk with ton of advise on how to go to the next phase of Kill Team play.
After that Paul, Chris and JP come back to discuss Khorne Berserkers. These guys took the hardest hit with Forward Operatives but they are still viable IF you can get them there. To do that you’ll need to a combination of distractions in the rest of your list and likely something like a Rhino to move them across the table. Then we jump into a segment with Jay Larsen from our sponsor below! He’s a Warmachine player and they’ve been using chess clocks for years!
Paul and Jay talk about how the clocks were adopted and the general perception of them as they become more widely used. We don’t often look to WM/Hordes for inspiration but they may have us here.

FTN Episode 256 – Is 40k Better Off After the Big FAQ2?
Oct 05, 2018
The dust is settling and people are getting ready for 40k tournaments all over the world.. Has the FAQ changed your list? Maybe not because most things are still viable but the width of viable lists is MUCH greater than it was 2 weeks ago.
Hey guys,
Whew. The internet has been on fire talking about the changes to fly in the assault phase. It’s elicited some pretty strong reactions and has overshadowed just how much the FAQ has improved the play experience for ‘most’ players.
I say most because, outside of tournament games, you don’t see carbon copies of the same lists on tables. People are happier to play with the armies they want to instead of the armies they ‘have’ to in order to win games. It’s been a hallmark of this edition that people can play what they want.. it’s now more true than ever.
Armies will be on a more even footing – still getting to use the most punishing of Stratagems and a way to refuel their command points – just not as often. That very fact makes other armies seem more viable. The game will progress through more turns, there will be fewer turn 1-2 army wipes and players will have longer to develop their strategies. I dig it.

FTN Episode 255 – What the FAQ? Biggest Changes in the 2018 Sept 40k FAQ
Sep 29, 2018
Val and Paul run down the biggest points in the Warhammer 40,000 Sept Big FAQ. We chat about the huge changes to fly and certain stratagems. Check out all the new FAQs for the game and the Codexes at the Warhammer Community site.
Hi all,
Fly… We thought we knew what we were doing. In the Movement Phase fly is still the same. In the Charge Phase players were previously using this movement to hop over units, intervening terrain, and cover giant vertical distances. No more… You now have to consider these things during your Charge Move. This will take a little getting used to. I know I’ve enjoyed being able to leapfrog over units with the occasional Daemon Prince or Blood Angel Captain.
Overall this FAQ seems centered on game function and less tweaks to the way codexes are played outside of Dark Eldar. The Agents of Vect Stratagem has been a real barrier for opponents and now the Drukarhi players will be required to have Kabal of the Black Heart models ON THE TABLE in order for them to use this powerful Stratagem. It’s a nice change.
Knights see Command Point increases to their most powerful Stratagems as well. This is subtle but significant. Intragame command point farms have taken a hit. There is a maximum of one command point that can be regenerated per battle round. BIG CHANGE!
Reserves… and Forward Operative like deployment. Wow.. This type of deployment was new in this more aggressive edition of 40k. It seems like its been a little too aggressive and may have been contributing to a poor play experience. This FAQ brought significant changes to how these alternate deployment schemes work. We talk a bit about it on the show but more to come as we talk about army list design in future episodes.
A full list of FAQs can be found via the link above. I love that we have these balances reviews at set points in the year. While there is some anxiety and anticipation that leads up to this it stays pure to the intent – we get to take the temperature of the game and have tweaks made that in the long run benefit us all.

FTN Episode 254 – Do You Know How to Kill Team?
Sep 21, 2018
This is a double sized episode. We’re joined by the first ever Kill Team Champion and a host of community organizers for Community Spotlight segments. This is a Kill Team focused episode where we break down a few of the things to watch out for if you’re just getting into the game.
Hi guys,
We’re joined by Thomas Miller to talk about his success at the NOVA Open Kill Team Tournament and to discuss Kill Team in general. It’s a pleasure to have him on the show.
We include 3 Community Spotlights in this show. I really dig being able to talk to these guys on air. These event organizers and community leaders listen to the show and when they reached out it was a no-brainer to bring them on to talk about their tournaments. PLEASE check out their events. If you can make it to any of them you will not be disappointed. Links below!
Later in the show we discuss how Thousand Suns have the potential to be a powerhouse in Kill Team. They have durability, great offense and can compete in every phase of the game. The roster has a mix of cheap objective holders and powerful marine units to do your damage.
The Crucible in Orlando FL USA. Find information here.
Blood and Glory in Derby UK. Find information here.
The Last Chance Open in Southport UK. Find information here.
We close out the show with a segment about the Dragon Fall convention. There are SEVERAL 40k events going on at this convention in the Chicago area. These guys put on a great show. Please check them out if you can. October 20th-21st.

I’m extremely pleased to welcome Sideshow to the show this week. We met at Gencon this year and recorded a segment about their first original property Court of the Dead: Mourner’s Call – a new board game. We speak about their design philosophy. amazing creativity and dive deep into the origins of their game. Later in the show we speculate about the 40k FAQ we can expect later this year and give reason to finally keep a hobby journal.
Hey Everyone,
In the first segment of the show Paul sits down with Tom Gilliland, Sideshow Chief Creative Officer and Creator of Court of the Dead, Rachel Roubicek, Sideshow Designer (played a key role in the design of almost all the Court of the Dead characters) and Matt Molen, Sideshow Sr. Concept Designer (sculpted many of the Mouners Call miniatures). You can find information about the game by clicking here and more about the world and characters in the game by clicking here.
I was absolutely fascinated with how into their work these guys are. It was great to hear that they were also huge fans of the properties represented in their statues and art. If you haven’t already, I highly encourage you to check out the Sideshow website. You’ll be blown away.
In the second part of the show Ricky, Chris and Paul get back to the 40k talk. We speak a bit about a short form battle report we posted on YouTube and rank the Space Wolves vs the rest of the Space Marine Chapters.
We then talk a little bit about what hobby stuff we’ve been working on and stress the importance of keeping a hobby journal. When you are coming back to an army or a faction or whatever after you haven’t touched in months you might forget some of the colors you use. Never forget when you wright it down!!
We close out the show with a segment about the Dragon Fall convention. There are SEVERAL 40k events going on at this convention in the Chicago area. These guys put on a great show. Please check them out if you can. October 20th-21st.

FTN Episode 252 – Kill Team Rogue Trader Preview And List Publishing Debate – Fixed
Sep 06, 2018
Today we talk about the new Kill Team expansion Rogue Trader, releasing this weekend. The figures are great. The game is taking off like wild fire and this expansion gives you another way to play it. The box set also comes with rules on how to include the figures in your games of Warhammer 40,000.
Hey all,
These models in the Kill Team expansion are nuts! Absolutely off the chain beautiful. While I don’t think we’ll see these guys make an appearance in regular competitive 40k games they seem to be pretty stout in Kill Team.
Later in the show we chat about a debate going on in ‘competitive groups’ on if Army Lists should be required to be published, when they should be published or if they should be published at all. This originated from a discussion our Canadian Correspondent Val H had in the BCP Facebook group.
Our opinion is a resounding YES. More information about the game is better. It leads to more hype, greater exposure to people that may have no idea where you start with their list, better community engagement, etc. It’s all good news and the more the better.
The hobby segment is about contrast on your figures. We talk about why you need it, how to get it, and when you might actually be battling against yourself with some of your current painting habits.
Keep your eyes peeled on our YouTube channel. More video battle reports are coming soon!

FTN Episode 251 – Games Workshop NOVA Studio Preview Reaction-cast
Aug 30, 2018
We were on the edge of our seats waiting on info from the Games Workshop Studio Preview and thankfully directly after the screening the Warhammer Community page releases all the info! Its not quite as nice as being there in person but it’s close. We give our reactions to all the news.
Hey guys,
We kick the show off talking about an awesome month long series of events in FL submitted by a listener. You find out more on the event here!
You can follow along with everything we’re talking about by going to the Games Workshop Community team page.
I’m really digging on these boxed games GW is putting out and its always cool to find more neat things to do with our models.
Safe travels to everyone who’ll be heading to tournaments and events this weekend. Please keep those event suggestion rolling in. We’ll mention as many as we can on air.
Keep your eyes peeled on our YouTube channel. More video battle reports are coming soon!

FTN Episode 250 – Making Space Wolves Work
Aug 24, 2018
It’s just Paul and Chris today but the rest of the crew will be back next week. We explore making Space Wolves work on the table and some upcoming test games. It’s such a strong codex and there are lots of bells and whistles to get distracted with.
Hey all,
We take a deeper look at the Space Wolves this week and discuss some sample army inclusions.
Paul plans to attempt a Blood Angel and Wolf team up. We’ll see how that goes.
We talk a bit about Logan and how much of a force multiplier he is. He hits hard too. Again.. the Space Wolves have no shortage of cool things to take in their army. Chris brings up a couple of cool points about Forge World too.
Clearly we’re excited about this book but it’s nice to have the idea of putting Power Armor guys back on the table.
We ask people to submit their tournament and events for us to talk about next week. If you’ve got something you’d like us to talk about please give us a shout on Twitter or Facebook.

FTN Episode 249 – Space Wolves Codex Review – Powerful and Fun
Aug 18, 2018
Holy Smokes. The Space Wolves are here and they are worth the wait. The Space Wolves are the favorite chapter of many in 40k. Old and new fans of this faction have a LOT to keep themselves busy with many army list combinations and the opportunity to make almost everything in the Space Marines army range ‘wolfified.’
Hey guys,
The Space Wolves have been known for their ‘not psykers’ in the form of Rune Priests and they take prominent role in this codex. They have an impressive stratagem that allows them to boost the power of Living Lighting up to 11. It requires they take 3 Rune Priests.. but that’s not a problem. You probably want to take them anyway.
All the Space Wolf characters return. The stand out for us is Arjac Rockfirst. He is basically a wrecking ball with a ton of wounds (if you make him your warlord). He’s got an invul save and a hammer that just won’t quit.
The ‘space marine’ bodies in this book are very important. I think this may be the dex that brings the power armor guys back to the table. Wolf Scouts are elite choices, for starters, so people trying to splash anything other than a supreme command will need the Wolf Guard or Blood Claw Troop options.
Still.. this isn’t a tax as they have pretty good weapon options and synergy throughout the list with Character buffs, stratagems and more.
We really enjoyed talking about this codex. If you’ve ever wanted to start a Space Wolves army or have one on the shelf you haven’t played in a while… You’re in for a treat. This is a great book.

FTN Episode 248 – Adeptus Titanicus RULES Review
Aug 11, 2018
The BIGGEST thing to hit the Warhammer Universe in a long time. Of course we’re talking about Adeptus Titanicus this week. This is right up our alley with amazing looking miniatures and our strong desire to move super war machines around the table. We review the rules for this cool new game in this episode.
Hey all,
Ricky and Paul go nuts about Adeptus Titaticus this week. Ricky is all about the Titans and owns a few of the full sized ones and is a know Knight player. Needless to say he is excited about this release.
The Grand Master Edition of this set gives you a TON of stuff and enough for you and a buddy to start playing the game as soon as you get your figures assembled. This is not a ‘skirmish’ game like we’ve seen from GW recently. This is a full on table top game similar to 40k in approach and length of play.
You are able to ‘manage’ your figures in a completely new way due to the Command Cards. This gives you more than just a wound tracker. You do get the sense that you’re a Titan Princeps deep in the heart of the Titan.

FTN Episode 247 – 40k Tournament Etiquette – Do You Have It?
Aug 02, 2018
Ricky is back! Paul and Ricky kick of the show to discuss how Terminators may sweep the tournament scene. After that Paul and Reece from Frontline Gaming take a deep dive into a new ITC proposal they are calling Floor Rules – Rules of Etiquette for ITC tournaments.
Hey guys,
It’s great to have Ricky back and we spend quite a lot of time talking about Teleport Homers. Are these friendly models or not? More to the point, can they hold objectives? Sure, they are easy to get rid of if you can get close but what if?? We’re I asked to rule on this I would definitely say no but I think the jury is out on what the rules support.
In Part 2 we sit down with Reece from Frontline Gaming to talk about 40k Tournament Floor Rules. These are currently up for review, debate and revision in the ITC Tournament Organizer’s Facebook group. If you run ITC tournaments, big or small, you are encouraged to join this group
Most of the time it is just a place where event organizers can post questions to each other and trade techniques to make their tournaments even better. Every now and then something like these Floor Rules come along where it is good to get a LOT of opinions.
Like with anything, it is COMPLETELY up to the individual TOs to decide what to adopt but I think this is the natural progression as our Matched Play scene grows.
In part 3 we talk about the innovative lists that did really well at the Bay Area Open, an event hosted by Frontline Gaming.

FTN Episode 246 – Should You Be Playing Tau? Why Not?
Jul 28, 2018
It’s just Paul and Val for this show. We talk just a little about Kill Team at the start of the show then we do a DEEP dive into the Tau. This applied directly to what Val is taking in a couple of upcoming tournaments. I think we touch on a few things that people are overlooking about this faction.
Hi everyone,
The Tau were once a super dominant force on the tabletop and recently they’ve taken a back seat. Its not quite as much of a point and click army as it used to be. There is a lot of style and ‘art’ to the Tau.
I faced two killer Tau armies at the ATC and have been pretty interested in them since It seemed like a good idea to get down and dirty on them with an expert like Val.
Hopefully we help get more life out of your current Tau army or maybe show you what Tau generals may be fielding soon.
We also chat about some upcoming events. More to come!

FTN Episode 245 – NEW Kill Team Review and 40k ATC WWK Recap
Jul 21, 2018
Kill Team is live right now for pre-order. We’re really happy to report this game has been re-designed from the ground up. It very much feels like the 40k we know and love but the cadence of the game is much different. You are able to enjoy the universe and your models in a totally different way. We love it!
Hi everyone,
In the first part of the show we review the new Kill Team game from Games Workshop. This is not a ’40k supplement’ this is a completely different game. It has the same grim-dark feel from 40k and you’re going to use a lot of your existing models but you are going to get a completely different experience from them.
To us this is really refreshing. Everyone on the show likes to have a few ‘pet projects’ going at once and Kill Team is a perfect opportunity to put together and paint a handful of models. Is there a faction you’re curious about? Welp.. Build a kill team. You might find out you’re better at painting those colors than you think.
The stats of the weapons and the models are very similar to what you know from Warhammer 40,000. I mention this to show that the learning curve to the game is very approachable. If you have even the basic understanding of how a faction works you’re over half way to learning Kill Team.
The game has a different ‘phase structure’ that will take a little getting used to but it goes a long way to capture the small scale of the game and further puts the emphasis on the individual models. I like it. This sort of makes me want to spend even more time on the individuality of my models while I am building them and in the hobby part of experience.
The back half of the show Paul talks about his gaming club’s record and experience at the ATC. Please check out and follow the Wrong Way Kids if you’re interested in following along for future tournaments.

FTN Bonus Episode 26 – American Team Championship – The Facts
Jul 17, 2018
This is not an episode I put out easily. Paul speaks directly with the main TOs from The ATC to talk about the recent controversy and the way forward. This is not our typical episode. If you aren’t curious about what happened or don’t want to hear about some of the ‘issues’ facing competitive 40k play please skip this episode and tune in later this week when we’ll be talking about Kill Team and our personal experiences as players at this wonderful event. The official statement from the ATC in the show notes. I really appreciate these guys sitting down with me to speak about this difficult subject.
Hey all,
July 16th, 2018
This press release is in regards to Team Happy being asked to leave this year’s ATC. Any article, podcast, blog, etc. that states otherwise is misinformed and inaccurate in their information and should be disregarded.
The ATC has clearly stated policies on our website and mission pack. It is our responsibility to follow these guidelines in fairness to all players involved. The statements below reflect that we did just that. We also want to take this opportunity to say that it was made obvious to us this year that our slow play, some model policies and our penalty system are in need of a revision. Those revisions are already in the works and in future years will be much stricter.
What happened at the ATC 2018 event concerning Team Happy:
After Round 3 a player with an illegal model was brought to our attention.
According to our policies we issued the player in question a retroactive Round 1 warning and a current round 2 game loss. The model issue had been corrected after game 2 and was not used in round 3 so there was no need for any action in regards to that model in round 3.
As to the question of “Why was a specific points penalty/loss not announced immediately?” Our response is that we had an event already running late and a room full of players who continued to bombard us with their concerns, giving us no chance to think it through clearly. We needed and wanted to make sure that we had the time and clarity to make the right penalty that would have an actual impact on the team penalized and we knew that anything less than a complete removal of the team (at that time) was not going to affect the next round pairings, so we kept the event moving and applied the penalty during rd 3 once we had a few mins to take action.
Also, during round 3 another player on the team had an issue with his opponent which led to a situation with our head judge. Both players were running on high emotions and attitudes were in poor form. The original rumor regarding what had actually happened was found to be false and grossly over-exaggerated on the floor. The truth of the matter was confirmed by our head judge. The over exaggeration that was sweeping the room was that the player had told our head judge to go F*** himself, when what was truly said was “I’m not going to do that” (in regards to the judge’s suggestion to resolve the controversial game issue at hand). The issue was resolved by the players once the TO’s came on the scene and as per our policy, a warning was issued to the player (first warning to that player) and team captain. We want to be clear that had the player actually said that to any of our staff, they would have been immediately ejected and banned from the event. We have a zero tolerance policy for such behavior and we immediately went into a 30 minute conversation with the team captain with full intention of removing the player from our event. Once the truth was discovered, the warning was issued instead of player removal.
During the lunch break (after game 3) we had a very long meeting with the team captain, Tony. An agreement (initiated by the captain) was made that if there were any other issues with anyone on the team, that the team would withdraw from the event. We did not disclose this agreement to the rest of the event players at that time but promised the other captains that we would reveal our decision and intentions in their entirety at the end of the event (which we have just done).
As another layer of enforcement and proactivity, we also posted our head judge as a permanent judge at the team’s tables for the rest of their event.
After round 4 there were questions of slow play brought against the team.
This was reviewed and checked against our slow play policies/guidelines.
After review, all game lengths had met our requirements (minimum 4 turns completed), there was no pattern of games not meeting the required number of rounds and no judges had been brought to the table to address “slow play tactics” during the round.
After round 5 there was a model conversion infraction brought to our attention.
We addressed the issue and ultimately the team was asked to leave our event, with no games played in the final round.
The team did not argue to try and stay in the event, they were courteous to take our request and in order to not create more delays, they waited until the final round was underway to come and discuss all of the details. The team left after a very reasonable and respectful conversation with our staff and TO’s and there were no confrontations of any kind.
We want the community to know that we do not take these situations lightly. What we do at the ATC sets a precedent and a certain standard. A decision like this is no small thing, and no TO ever wants to have to eject someone from their event, let alone five players. We always want to make our decisions with a clear head, in accordance with our policies and guidelines, with integrity and fairness to all players involved. We also want to make it very clear that mob mentality and threats of not coming back to our event were absolutely not a factor in our decision, in fact they hindered us from making the decision sooner as it added an entire other layer of issues to our already full plate. We understand that players were upset; they had every right to be, especially if what was being said around the room was true. We were extremely upset as well and if the situation was what it had been rumored, then we would have removed players immediately, but by taking the time to go to every player directly involved on both sides and getting the facts, and then taking it all and putting it all together, we were able to do our job correctly, clearly and fairly, without anger and influence from outside sources.
In the end, we learn every year what we could have done better, where we failed and where we excelled, we listen to our players input and we adjust from there.
That’s the best we can do, for you, for us and for the community.
We are ready to move forward to better days, higher player standards and the best ATC event ever in 2019 and we hope that you will move forward with us!
– Shane, Chris and the ATC staff

There are some pretty heinous combos out there right now with Imperial Knights, Blood Angels and Astra Militarum. It’s fun to see all this stuff come together. We talk about it in this episode so if you’re looking to get more mileage out of these factions, you don’t want to miss this.
Hey all,
This is Troop’s last episode for a little while. He is absolutely amazing and we’re grateful for every show he’s been able to attend. When his works schedule changes or he changes jobs, he’ll be back again.
In the first part of the show we jam on this Knights going infinite concept. Basically by taking the AM and BA Relics that allow you Command Point refunds you are able to get a LOT more work out of your Knights. This allows them to basically always attack at full strength, attack again and gives them a bonus to their Invulnerable Saves. Wow.
In the middle part Paul talks to Dave Taylor from the NOVA Open Charitable Foundation. Dave is a great guy and always fun to talk to. He’s doing great work raising money for these charities and I hope you check it out. It is really inspirational seeing how hard we works to collect funds for these charities and, if you’re anything like us, it will have you wanting to do the same. You can find lots of fundraising ideas on https://www.gofundme.com/c/fundraising-ideas if you need help getting started.
The back part of the show we bring back a hobby segment! We talk a little bit about our hobby progress as well.
The newest White Dwarf has a few awesome tutorials and we talk about an interesting way to really brighten up your edge highlighting.

FTN Episode 243 – AoS How to beat the dreaded DOUBLE TURN!?
Jun 29, 2018
Another jam packed episode! We spotlight two upcoming 40k tournaments this week – Wargames Con in Austin Texas and The 40k Grand Tournament The main segment, in the middle, Paul is joined by Rob Symes from The Honest Wargamer to talk about Age of Sigmar.
Hey guys,
Ricky and Paul chat a bit in the part of the show. Its a little hobby, it’s a little tactics but it’s all fun.
In the second segment Paul talks with Chris from Wargames Con. We talk about all the stuff to do at this awesome convention in Austin but we focus mostly on the 40k Grand Tournament.
In this jam packed NEXT segment Paul and Rob from The Honest Wargamer talk about Age of Sigmar. We talk about the very basics of the game and army list design. Rob is gracious enough to get really basic with me and we discuss the fundamentals of the Priority mechanic in AoS and we chat about how important Battle Line force choices can be.
We close out talking to Eddie from the MAGS tournament circuit and the 40k Grand Tournament at Gencon.

FTN Episode 242 – TWO 40k Grand Tournament Winners Tell Us How!
Jun 21, 2018
This week we’re joined by two 40k Grand Tournament Winners. In one segment we talk to Mike Brandt from the NOVA Open about his win at the London Grand Tournament. Then we catch up with Skari from the Skaredcast. We finish off talking about a few of the Endless Spells from Age of Sigmar 2.0
Hey all,
We tee the show off with an introduction from the guys and then get right to the action talking to Mike Brandt about his historic win in London. His list is below.
Supreme Command Detachment, Adeptus Custodes [480 Points] +1 CP
Headquarters
Shield-Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike w/ Hurricane Bolter – 160pts
Shield-Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike w/ Hurricane Bolter – 160pts
Shield-Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike w/ Hurricane Bolter – 160pts
In the second segment we talk to Skari. Skari is a long time Drukhari player and really created something special with his list. It has a ton of tools and it’s always a pleasure to have him on the show. Please take a look at the events and projects he’s a part of, including his own youtube channel.
We round out the show talking about what we think are the most powerful Endless Spells for Age of Sigmar. The new set is up for pre-order now. If you are even remotely curious about combat in a high fantasy setting please check out a demo of this game or tune into our coverage of it.

FTN Bonus Episode 25 – Age of Sigmar SECOND EDITION REVIEW – Core Rules
Jun 15, 2018
Wow! When this was announced it came almost out of the blue like a bolt of lightning from Sigmar himself. Ricky and Paul comment on the Core Rules and the changes. Games Workshop launched an awesome new Age of Sigmar website you can find here.
Hey all,
First off… The new box sets coming with this release are amazing. They are so satisfying to hold and open. It really is an experience that ‘feels’ like a whole new world is opening. The Soul Wars box is jammed packed with hot new miniatures to boot!
The game will still see very much familiar to long time players. If you were on the fence before the rules have been expanded but only to make them more clear and streamline play. There are very few ‘clunky’ interactions.
If you play 40k you’ll feel right at home moving miniatures around but Age of Sigmar is still very much it’s own game with a unique world and armies. One of the things I am most impressed with about the recent figure releases is that they are pretty dern unique and evocative of a completely original fantasy setting. You aren’t playing any old fantasy game – you are playing Age of Sigmar.
We touch on this just a little bit towards the end but Summoning things to the table is going to be a big part of this game. Its not free, and you don’t have to pay points from your army generation to get it – you have to EARN it. It will be really cool to see how this plays out.
Magic manifests as physical in this edition and the persistent spells come with big risk and reward. This is gonna be interesting as well. We’ve never seen anything quite like this in a miniature war game like this before. Just about every army can compete in this phase and it should go a long way to helping us live that high fantasy setting. Enjoy!

FTN Episode 241 – Slugga Recap – Upcoming Events and Player Spotlight!
Jun 14, 2018
Believe your ears… We have brand new intro music! Let us know what you think. We do a recap for the Slugga, get to talk to Sarah form BattleHaven and sit down with a player for a new Player Spotlight segment.
Hey guys,
We do a little recap of the Slugga and let you guys know who came away with the top prizes. This ended up being a great event and we’ll definitely be doing it again next year.
We saw a HUGE mix of armies represented with a ton of unique lists. It is really nice to see 8th Edition ‘working as intended’ and allowing for lots of armies to be played. The missions maybe have had a little bit to do with it as well. They seemed to encourage wanting to go second while still allowing for an aggressive play style.
In part two of the show we speak with Sarah Hollingshead from BattleHaven. BattleHaven is a gaming retreat/vacation. It’s not a tournament but more of a celebration of gaming in a scenic resort environment. It pretty darn close to all inclusive and they prepare themed meals as well. Check out the pictures on their site. They are ahhhhhmazing.
In the show we speak about a few links to follow. One is for Scott Switzer. He is a panelist on the Radio Free Isstvan podcast. Click that link! Please check out this tournament as well The other is for the Chicago Open GT.
We close the show with a new segment we’ll certainly continue called the Player Spotlight. This time we feature Matthew Bodnarchuk. He’s a member of the British Columbia Battle Brothers. I played against him at the LVO and had a blast.

FTN Episode 240 – Knights are BACK! Double Sized Special Content Episode
Jun 08, 2018
Sorry for the week off but we are back with a special double sized episode. We kick the show off and end it talking about Imperial Knights. In between, we have a special segment with Best Coast Pairings and another with iNcontrol Geoff Robinson. You don’t want to miss this show!
Hey all,
Please check out our Facebook for coverage on the Louisville Slugga on June 9th and 10th. This will be an ITC Grand Tournament. We have some special trophies to give away and with over 40 people registered there is going to be a lot of competition.
In the first part of the show we talk about Imperial Knights. These guys are going to make a splash similar to how they did when they were released in 6th. I think they are going to be a bit of a ‘gatekeeper’ list and struggle with some of the current tournament format missions. Still.. people are going to play them. They are awesome models.
The second part of the show we do something we’ve never done before… we have a full segment produced OUTSIDE of FTN studios by our foreign corespondent Val Heffelfinger. Val sits down with Paul McKelvy from Best Coast Pairings. He talks about the origins of the App and where they see it moving in the future.
The SECOND special segment is with Geoff Robinson. I pick his brain about how to stay sharp when traveling and his philosophy of list design. He is a pleasure to have on each and every time.
We finish this double sized show talking about knights and how we might go about using them in a real army list. Big ole stompy fun! Val also drops us a link on a tournament he is attending soon. Check it out here

FTN Episode 239 – Are Harlequins Competitive? Yes!
May 24, 2018
We dig deeper into the Harlequin codex this episode and ask the question… Is this book competitive? The short answer is yes but we do our best to explain why we think that. More importantly we also give some thoughts on how to field a Harlequin detachment.
Hey guys,
Please try to make it to the Louisville Slugga on June 9th and 10th. This will be an ITC Grand Tournament. Lots of ITC points to get for you and your 40k club.
We get into the ‘hows and whys’ of fielding Harlequins and discuss the reasons you might consider taking a Troupe squad over an Outrider group of Skyweavers. Like we said in the last show, this army is FAST.
If you are looking to field ‘space elves’ it would be hard to go with a mono army of harlequins but I am not sure the army is designed with that in mind anyway. Things in this army make GREAT support elements. There are also some amazing objective grabbing units as well. If you need to be everywhere on the table and ‘hoard’ armies aren’t your style then you might want to check out this book.
We talk a lot about the Webway Portal and what ‘we’ think the best use of it is. We’re looking to hear your thoughts. Thanks to the folks who wrote in last week to give us their opinion on the subject.
We talk about hobby tutorials in this hobby section. Paul wraps up the 2000 points of Necrons he’s been painting.. Now on to some Harlequins!

FTN Episode 238 – Harlequin Codex Review – Fast and Deadly
May 19, 2018
You guys know I love Harlequins. This army sees big point reductions and some major changes to their weapons. This a complete book with new Psychic Powers, Warlord Traits and Relics.
Hey all,
Please try to make it to the Louisville Slugga on June 9th and 10th. This will be an ITC Grand Tournament. Lots of ITC points to get for you and your 40k club.
I am really excited to talk about the Harlequins. They were my first 40k army way back in the early days of the game. The army, as a stand alone force, has had it’s up and downs but it is back!
For starters much of this army sees point reductions which are always a good thing. The basic Troupe Player drops a couple of points and their wargear does too. The Death Jester dropped a TON of points. He is still a little clunky to use but if you consider him a ‘combo’ piece I think he has a ton of functionality. They have an ability that lets YOU pick the first model removed when an enemy unit fails a Morale test. It’s a good way to get rid of banners, instruments, heavy/special weapons and sergeants.
Another huge change is that a lot of their vehicle mounted weapons have been changed to Assault instead of Heavy. Hoooooooo Yeah! No neg one to hit on the move. The whole army is fast and now you get to use that speed in games without compromising anything else.
The Hobby Segment will be back next week!

FTN Episode 237 – Come to More Tournaments!! The Slugga and ATC are Calling to You.
May 11, 2018
We get back to our roots here and talk about some upcoming tournaments and how to prepare for them. The first half of the show is Paul and Val chatting about several upcoming events and the second half the show it’s Paul and Sean Nayden talking about the ATC.
Hey guys,
In this episode we talk about the Louisville Slugga on June 9th and 10th and about the ATC Tournament coming up July 13-15th. Please register for these events! This weekend there are two primer event happening for the Slugga. Check them out at the Game Preserve in Circle City and at the host store of the event Heroes Comics and Gaming.
Warhammer 40k is in a great place right now and tournament attendance is at record highs. On the surface this may seem strange due to the shifting on the meta with FAQs and release schedule. It can only be attributed to the FUN that people are having. At the core 40k is a game and the influx of cool rules, models and the desire to bring ‘balance’ to the game is contributing in a big way to the fun we are having playing the game.
Personally, even when I take a loss it is still a lot more enjoyable than in the previous editions. I am reminded that I really have a good time playing with my figures and all the hours leading up up that. The events themselves are getting better too… we have an amazing community.
The second half of the show is all about the America Team Championship. I’m joined by another former champion, Sean Nayden and we talk about some things you may expect to see at this event. We also talk about some ‘types’ of armies you may want to consider if this is your first time going or if you’re looking to improve your standing from last year.
The Hobby Segment will be back next week. We can expect Harlequins soon….. Who knows how to paint those? haha.

FTN Episode 236 – Open the Omega Vault – Codex Deathwatch Review!
May 05, 2018
Codex Deathwatch is here! We’ll see two elite style armies coming out in May and Deathwatch is the first! These guys get all the Primaris bells and whistles while adding in a few new things of their own. There are some real neat things you can do with these guys.
Hey all,
In this episode we talk about the Louisville Slugga on June 9th and 10th and about the ATC Tournament coming up July 13-15th. Please register for these events!
We also have a hobby segment based on a white dwarf tutorial at the end of the show. Other than that this episode is all about the Deathwatch. We don’t have to go over too many ‘stat’ lines since these are all marine based profiles but we do spend quite a lot of time going over their stratagems and traits.
These guys get some great, but situational, buffs. They are able to tailor their offense to bring down what you may consider your primary targets like the opponents HQ slots or even buffs that target certain Xenos factions. Past this there is the Special Issue Ammunition. I think this is really going to give some ‘umph’ to the Primaris marines.
You start the game with a ‘mission tactic’ but there are ways to change it during the game or even double up on one. Its a versatile army but it will suffer from being an ‘elite space marine force.’ Still.. If you find yourself needing their functionality it is pretty easy to add them in to an existing imperial army.
The Hobby Segment is about a new way we discovered to do some patina in the most recently issue of White Dwarf. Please check it out.

FTN Episode 235 – Did the FAQ Change Your List and Special Segment with CMON!
Apr 27, 2018
We talk a bit about mission design and how the overall state of hobby in your area could effect your tournament scene. The episode ended up a little longer than we expected – sorry for the ramble… about an hour in we are joined by Michael Shinall from CMON to talk about their new Song of Ice and Fire miniature game.
Hey hey,
In this episode we talk about the Louisville Slugga on June 9th and 10th and about the ATC Tournament coming up July 13-15th. Please register for these events!
We don’t crack post FAQ meta wide open or anything but we do talk about how the nature of the game is getting much more well defined and how this SHOULD effect mission design. For instance, if you don’t want Gunline armies to rule the roost then you have to incentivize people to take more interactive lists through creative, but fair, missions.
This ended up being a bit of a wandering talk about mission, tournaments and the hobby scene. I slip in there somewhere to say that Val Heffelfinger beat me in our grudge/trash-talk match.
In the last segment I am joined by Michael Shinall from Cool Mini or Not to talk about their upcoming miniature wargame based on the Song of Ice and Fire books. It’s a rank and file based fantasy battle game where units come pre-assembled where you can take them out of the box and pretty much put them right on the table.

FTN Episode 234 – The BIG FAQ and Revenge of the Beta Rules
Apr 19, 2018
The long awaited FAQ is here and its glorious. The very core of matched play has been changed and I think it’s changed for the better. The rule of 3 is a breath of fresh air. Its one of the cool ways the designers are willing to help balance tournament play.
Hey guys,
We’re back! And what a time to be back with this epic FAQ drop. Points have changed, army list design has change the CORE rules of the game have potentially changed with a Beta rule or two.
There is a lot of hype around the Beta rule right now. Are we obliged to play with them and give feedback? I’m not sure. The deepstrike rule is one that I am most conflicted about.
I feel like this is just too heavy handed against assault based armies. I get it… people put up screens of cheap troops and it is difficult to get the first turn mega charge off anyway but this change makes it 100% all the time that shooting armies will get to do what they do best, every single game!

FTN Episode 233 – Codex Drukhari Review – The Agents of Vect
Apr 02, 2018
We get right down to business talking about Codex Drukhari with Troop and Ricky. We spend a lot of time speaking about Wytches because they pack QUITE a punch. There will be tons of different ways to play this army and the codex rewards you for taking lots of small detachments.
Hey all,
Codex Drukhari brings us the best Stratagem we’ve seen to date. Agents of Vect. This allows you to nullify an opponents Stratagem. This may seem ‘ok’ but it is bonkers powerful. I would expect a lot of people to take a small amount of Drukhari just for this ability. Its a specific Kabal of the Black Heart Stratagem.
We spend a LOT of time on this show talking about Wtyches. They hit like a truck and can actually make it into combat. You can choose to put them in transports or just run them across.
There are so many ways to play this army with the Kabalite, Wytch Cults or the Covens. Each of these variants are very viable.

FTN Episode 232 – Necron Codex Review Part 1 and Adepticon Recap
Mar 30, 2018
We are very late with this show and I deeply apologize. We kick the show off talking about some of the major changes in the Necron units. This book is chock full of very appealing units. It will be difficult to settle on the ‘perfect’ list. That’s a good thing.
Hey guys,
We start the show talking about the Necron Deceiver. This guy is able to re-deploy himself and d3 units before the first turn begins. The d3 element is a little random but still something you can plan for as you’re looking to throw big units of warriors right in the face of your opponent. Units get the ability to be re-deployed 12inches or more away from enemy units.
You can’t charge if you use this ability but I don’t think you want to. You want to blast away after using several of the Necron character buffs and really strike a big blow on your opponent out of ‘nowhere.’ This is a powerful ability and the Deceiver is priced very competitively points wise for what he brings to the table. There is nothing preventing you from setting up for figures WAY fat away from the enemy either.
Another huge change in the book is that Wraiths now do two damage with their attacks AND they can fallback from combat and still shoot and/or charge. This will allow them to scoot over and behind screens with their wraithform ability. HOLY MOLY!
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive.
The hobby segment will return next week and we have barely scratched the surface of the Necron dex. I am not kidding when I say this army deep with choices and multiple top build options.

FTN Episode 231 – Tau Codex Review part 2 – Revenge of the Stormsurge
Mar 15, 2018
We get much deeper into the Tau Codex this week and are joined by our special guest Tau expert. Strangely we come to the conclusion that you may want to put your Stormsurge or Forge World Tau front and center in your army.
Hey all,
Part two is here! We talk about how the tau codex comes together as a whole.
I apologize for the short write up here as I get ready for Adepticon and some work travel.
In the first and last part of the show we chit chat a bit about hobby work and what we say from GW’s GAMA presenation.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive.

FTN Episode 230 – Tau Codex Review Part 1 – More coming soon!!
Mar 10, 2018
We were not able to record on schedule this week – things happen! So we had to cut our codex coverage a little short. We will have more stuff on the way soon with some special guests! Until then.. ENJOY THE RIPTIDES!
Hey all,
As mentioned, I’m releasing this very quickly and we didn’t have time to get deep into the full coverage. More to come!
The Riptides and Broadsides get a LOT cheaper. We do our best to run down the base rules of these guys.
Part 2 of the show is something we recorded in the early part of the week before we had the dex in hand.

FTN Episode 229 – Are Chess Clocks the Answer?
Mar 01, 2018
We kick off the episode talking about Black Templars and how to be Eldar and Daemons. It is kind of weird to think that the Black Templars may be the best anti psyker units in the game! Then Paul is joined by Reece Robins from Frontline Gaming to talk about tournament structures and chess clocks.
Hey guys,
We get a lot of questions from people wanting to squeeze some extra value out of their army choices. This one came from someone asking about Black Templars and that got me thinking… They have that sweet 4+ deny the witch power that we all thought was lame before. Not anymore!
In the middle, and longest part, of the show Paul and Reece sit down to talk about some of their upcoming events and tournament structures across the board may be changing. Not just to ‘weed out the bad guys’ but maybe so it makes the whole thing more fun to watch on tv.. Yep..
The last part of the show I rant a bit about not getting points for being fully painted when my army is not only fully painted.. but painted well! Ha. It’s light hearted but the message is the same. If you publish criteria as a TO, please stick to it. Its important at every level of the game.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive.
The finishing moves is quick this week. We talk very briefly about how to store you texture paints and dry paints.

FTN Episode 228 – Tournament Prep – Shapeways and Adepticon Interviews
Feb 22, 2018
This episode leads off with a little hobby talk and then we move into two special segments – one with a Shapeways community manager and one with Matthias Weeks from Adpeticon.
Hey all,
Val joins us again as we ramble on… We cover a little WiP hobby stuff at the start of the show and talk about how to use a heat gun to reshape resin models. It is not as scary as you think and you can do it on the cheap. If you’re working with these models a lot you may want to invest in one. The last part of the show we talk about a pretty brutal and meta influencing Tyranid list.
The first interview segment we are joined by Andrew Thomas from Shapeways. He’s been on the show before but in this segment we talk about the first steps of HOW to get your idea from your head to the 3d printer.
In the second segment we’re joined by Matthias Weeks, one of the organizers of Adpeticon. Matthias is a great guy and a gamer to the core. It was an absolutely joy to speak to him about what is in store for the thousands of people that will attend Adepticon this year.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive.

FTN Episode 227 – Culture Crafting 40k Tournaments, Shadespire and Necromunda Previews
Feb 16, 2018
We explore more culture crafting topics on the episode this week and state that Organizers are more empowered than ever to try new things at their events. Enthusiasm for matched play is at an all time high people WANT to come to events.. Let’s make it the best we can.
Hey all,
We are joined by tournament ace Val Heffelfinger on this show to talk about hobby participation and sportsmanship at events. He’s got a lot of good insight on the topic and has been part of a lot of great discussions on this topic online.
In the middle of the show Paul sits down with Sean Nayden. Sean is the captain of the US ETC team and an all around good guy. I hope you enjoy his approach to the hobby.
After that we get into the new Shadespire and Necromunda releases. It is a great time to be a part of this hobby. In the not so distant past these games would have appeared marginalized by GW. NOT ANYMORE!! These are fully supported awesome games and you should check them out.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive.
Paul goes on and on about Athonian Camonshade. This product is right up there with Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade. Its a versatile product that yields predictable results. What more could you want?

FTN Episode 226 – Adeptus Custodes Part 2 – Tournaments and How to Beat Eldar
Feb 09, 2018
We cover a range of topics in this episode. We revisit the Adeptus Custodes book and cover some of the Relics and Stratagems we didn’t before then we get to a difficult topic currently making the rounds about Tournaments. Then we shift gears to cover the Eldar menace!
Hey all,
In the first part of the show we talk about Adeptus Custodes and just how easy it is to include a potent force of these guys in your current Imperium based army. These dudes are rock solid and stack up pretty well against most armies. They have a wide range of relics and strategems but there are a few clear winners.
The next part of the show we talk about ways to make high stakes tournaments a little more fair for everyone involved. We try to separate Sportsmanship from procedural things that are in control of the TOs. We try our best to not just ‘give solutions’ because everyone has to come to these answers on their own. I just hope that we can help keep the conversation going in a positive way.
Then we get to Eldar.. These guys are strong.. Even more strong when you can combine all of the rules from the Eldar, Ynarri and Dark Eldar into one list without penalties. Still, all hope isn’t lost and we break down three of the main power pieces in the Eldar force and how to counter them. Of course we don’t go over every scenario but we hope you equip you with enough information to find elements in your own index or codex that will help you win more games.

FTN Episode 225 – LVO Recap and Thousand Sons Review Part 2
Feb 02, 2018
We are back fresh off the heels of the Las Vegas Open. It is a wonderful event and I’ll be back next year! Can’t wait. In this episode we do little recap from the Games Workshop Studio Preview and get deeper into the Thousand Sons Codex.
Hey guys,
Thanks for being patient as we worked through some technical difficulties with the feed last week. I hope it’s resolved.
We talk about the upcoming Codexes – Necrons, T’au and Drukari. We don’t know the exact order but we did get to see a preview of a Necron Cryptek. This all up for viewing on the GW community site. I highly recommend you bookmark that page if you haven’t already.
We focus on the 1k Sons Rubric infantry in this episode and just how durable and ‘tricky’ they can be. The get an extra plus 1 to their save against damage 1 weapons. That may not seem powerful but there are a LOT of damage 1 weapons out there being commonly taken in matched play games.

FTN Episode 219 – Deck the Halls with Red and Green Army Lists
Dec 14, 2017
The talk this week is about army list choices and ‘why’ you would take certain things over others. We talk about this in relation to Blood Angels and Dark Angels armies but you can apply the concepts to any build
Yo,
Play-test season is upon us! I am anxious to get my Blood Angels on the table and we talk about the list choices in this episode. Chris Morgan brings up some EXCELLENT points on space marine scout bikers. Space Marine Scouts come up a lot in this episode for more than just their ability to fill a detachment requirement.
In the second part of the show we talk about Dark Angels and their master over plasma weaponry.
Specifically we talk about their ability to manipulate the rolls to maximize your damage output and how Grim Resolve might not be as bad as we once thought.
Please let us know how your army lists are shaping up.
Deathwing and Ravenwing, of course, get their own special flavor in this codex but there are new ways to field the ‘Greenwing’ too now that most of the space marine options are available to them.

FTN Episode 218 – Dark Angels Codex Review – Can You Smell What the Rock is Cooking?
Dec 09, 2017
Codex Dark Angels is here, making this a very Angels of Death Holiday Season. We take our first pass at the codex this week. The Finishing Move’s segment this week is about painting black.
Hi all,
I apologize for the late post here. I’ve been without power due to a snow storm that hit my area. Power has been restored!
The Dark Angels benefit from being all around pretty good at a lot of what is great in 8th edition. They have ways to manipulate morale for themselves and against their opponents, they can move fast, and shoot a lot of plasma. What else could you want?!
Sammael and the Ravenwing Talonmaster are going to present some interesting challenges on the tabletop. If you choose the option where Sammael is riding in Sableclaw he and the Talonmaster are both land speeders that can’t be targeted by the enemy unless they are the closest model (because they are characters.) Sammael even keeps his Ravensword in this mode and keeps his 5 attacks at str 10 if he charges!
The DA Chaplains and the Librarians both impact morale for your opponent in their own ways spreading fear and dread to enemies of the Imperium.
Deathwing and Ravenwing, of course, get their own special flavor in this codex but there are new ways to field the ‘Greenwing’ too now that most of the space marine options are available to them.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat.

FTN Episode 217 – Blood Angels Codex Review and MORE!
Dec 02, 2017
BLOOD ANGELS!!! Clearly we’re excited about the new Blood Angel Codex but this is a triple sized episode. This week we have David Annandale join us and the close out the show with a segment with Carl Tuttle from the Independent Characters.
Hey guys,
We can’t contain our excitement about this new codex. You guys know we are huge Blood Angel fans so getting a hold of this codex is a dream come true.
The BA struggled with synergy in the Imperial Index and one of the best things we see coming from this codex is that more units can stand on their own two feet. They don’t need 50 characters standing around babysitting them.
In part two we’re joined by David Annandale to talk primarily about the novel Ruinstorm but we get to talk to him about a ton of stuff from writing theory to pop culture.
In part three Paul and Carl, from the ICs, chat about playing with the Open War deck from Games Workshop and using Power Level to build army lists. Talking with Carl is always a pleasure.

FTN Episode 216 – How to Win a Grand Tournament
Nov 21, 2017
Planning for big tournaments is hard. That’s an over simplification. Between the rules, differences in format and regional play styles it’s a lot to think about.
Yo,
I’m giving the regular guys a break this week. This episode features Reece Robins from Frontline Gaming, Val Heffelfinger (a Warzone: Atlanta Champion) and Zach Becker from the London Grand Tournament.
We kick off with Reece talking about the LVO. I pick his brain about mission structure and the overall tournament format. The LVO is the largest 40k singles event in the world. I am incredibly happy to attend this year.
In part 2 we spend time with Val. I got to meet him on his trip through Atlanta to play in our tournament. He brought an unconventional list and has a very interesting approach to the game. I had a great time chatting with him and and his insight is hopefully something you guys appreciate as well.
We close out the show with Zach from the London GT. This is the second largest 40k single tournament in the world. You guys says you wanted to talk about tournaments… We’re bringing you the best. Zach talks about the path to victory for that event. He’s always awesome to speak to and I’m glad we were able to catch up.

FTN Episode 215: Warzone: Atlanta Recap and LVO Prep
Nov 16, 2017
We’re back to Fundamentals in this episode. We start off with WZ: ATL recaps and the move on to tournament competition prep.
Hey Guys,
In this episode we re-cap Warzone: Atlanta and joke a little bit about how we’ve reached another major tournament milestone by having our very own controversy. Please note that while we keep it light on the air I understand that this is no laughing matter and my apology to those negatively impacted by the incident is from the heart sincere. The integrity of our event is extremely important and something we will always have in focus, year after year.
In the second part of the show I am joined by Chandler and Evan from Facing the Grey Tide Podcast. These guys are big supporters of my show and I am always happy to talk to them and have them on ours.
The second part of the show we talk about how to get ready for a tournament, specifically related to list design but also with a heavy focus on your own hobby standards.

Nov 09, 2017
Tyranids Part 2, The Honest Wargamer and more! This is a double sized episode.
Hey All,
We get pretty deep into the Tyranids again this episode. We focus a little more on the tactics side this episode but still find time to highlight some of the cool new unit stats.
In the middle of the episode we do an our long spot with Rob Symes from the Honest Wargamer. We talk a bit about Age of Sigmar and the mission he’s taken up with his new venture. I had a great time speaking with him.

FTN Episode 213 – 8th Edition Tyranid Codex Review – Part 1
Nov 04, 2017
GW is firing away with another Codex. This time Tyranids are getting some love. We run down the first part of the book and like what we see. In the middle of the show we have an interview with the amazing author Guy Haley!!
Hey,
Codex Tyranids has a lot of subtlety and synergy to it. The big bugs buff the little bugs, got it! That’s concept number 1 but then things get a lot more subtle. Like all codexes in this edition you have to factor in the Strategems, Hive World attributes and the benefits of all the various detachments.
Genestealers get some love in this book with a totally new deployment mechanic that punishes aggressive opponents. I like this. It allows you to sort of get inside your opponents head and potentially force them to make early game mistakes.
The Broodlord is brutal, like he should be. Old One Eye gets a point increase but he also creeps a little bit in power. We go over this on the show.
In the middle of this episode Chris and Paul sit down with Guy Haley. He was real fun to talk with and we hope you en enjoy it.

FTN Episode 212 – Will Eldar Be Codex Wave Serpent Again?
Oct 28, 2017
Eldar will see the table again. We talk about the Fire Prisms and Wave Serpents this episode and highlight a few more psychic powers and strategems.
Yo,
First things first… We had an audio issue on this show caused by a software update. I apologize in advance. I hope you can still enjoy the show. If you have trouble getting to the show from work we are also on YouTube. You can find the full show there and short tactic and reaction videos.
We come back to the Eldar codex this episode to talk about some of their power units. Fire Prisms, Wave Serpents and Falcons are back in a big way and this has a little to do with the sweet Eldar vehicle upgrades.
Being able to easily unlock dedicated transports is a hallmark of this edition, we’ve seen it with the Razorback and we think we’re going to see it with the Wave Serpents. The vehicle boasts an impressive 13 wounds with not a lot of points. It also reduces the damage it takes by 1 if it still has the serpent shield active.
The Fire Prism is also fantastic. It picks up the Leman Russ ability about firing twice and this weapon is awesome!

FTN Episode 211 – 8th Edition Eldar Codex Review
Oct 21, 2017
Codex Eldar is up for pre-order today! While you’re on the GW site please don’t forget about Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire too. Huzzah. Its a nice day to be in the hobby.
Hey guys,
If you have trouble getting to the show from work we are also on YouTube. You can find the full show there and short tactic and reaction videos.
This episode is all about the Eldar. In the finishing moves segment we even give some tips around painting the these types of figures.
Shadespire is also up for sale today for real. The wait is finally over! This is a fast paced game using high quality figures.
The game is part deck building, party strategy board game and part miniature wargame. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Expect more coverage on this soon!
With that said… this episode is all about the Eldar. We focus a lot on just how much cheaper Eldar units have gotten. Almost anything you were taking in the past got a point reduction in the book and some of these point discounts are HUGE.

FTN Episode 210 – Shadespire, Total War and 40k Meta – Ohh My!
Oct 12, 2017
It’s a bit of a mixed bag this episode but we do talk about the upcoming Shadespire, Total War: Warhammer II and the current 40k meta.
Hey all,
If you have trouble getting to the show from work we are also on YouTube. You can find the full show there and short tactic and reaction videos.
We cover a lot of ground in this episode including the new games Shadespire and Total War: Warhammer II. I know… we’re a 40k show but there is a lot to offer from both of these games.
Shadespire is a game designed from the ground up to be a competitive fast paced experience. Some are calling it a gateway game.. I am calling it what it is – Fun… We can sit down and play a complete game with excellent miniatures in about 15-20 minutes. Don’t like the outcome? You’re playing again in minutes and have the ability to change up your strategies/decks between games.
The game is part deck building, party strategy board game and part miniature wargame. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Expect more coverage on this soon!
In the second segment we talk about Total War: Warhammer II. This is a multi experience game that combines a turn base strategy game with real time simulation. You can find articles about this on the FTN articles page. We picked the game up on Steam and were up in playing in no time. The game is immersive and even though you can build giant armies to crush people – there is still an element of being a cunning general to win games.

Their new styles are very impressive. If you haven’t already get your tickets NOW for the mega Las Vegas Open.
The other guys weren’t too excited about this one… but it’s about using molded plasticard to create your own custom bases. This is a way to give your army a unique look and seamlessly blend it into your display board.

FTN Episode 209 – Is Smite Too Strong?!
Oct 06, 2017
We pick up where we left off with the Astra Militarum coverage this week by discussing a couple of interesting Relics and going over the new psychic powers. In the middle of the show we chat with Pat from the Table of Ultimate Gaming and in part 3 we discuss a couple of potential ‘fixes’ for Smite in Matched Play.
In this episode we chat about two of the new and very powerful Relics in the IG dex. Both of these have the potential to get inside your opponents head. This is important because it won’t take much to put them on tilt while you’re raining rockets on them from range. Speaking of range… we will have a show soon to talk about how assault can work, ha.
We talk about a few upcoming events in the last part of the year and go into more detail about the Friday Night Events happening at our even Warzone: Atlanta.
Before the hobby segment we talk about the point disassociation between the models casting Smite and how powerful Smite is. While we don’t ‘solve’ the problem we do wish-list a bit about how we could consider fixing it. The Smite talk starts around 1 hour and 10 mins in.
We spend some time with Pat from the Table of Ultimate Gaming and see how their KickStarter went and discuss how people can still take advantage of the campaign price breaks.

The Big Guns Never Tire and neither do the Bulwark of Humanity – The Astra Militarum. The AM codex is up for pre-order right now and we get to run down the goods!
Yo,
The Astra Militarum (IG) join the ranks of personalized army options with Regimental Doctrines. Each of the well known and supported model lines get special rules specific to them. There are some VERY powerful ones like the Catachan who get to re-roll one of the random dice when determining the number of shots their vehicles fire and the Cadians that get to re-roll 1s and potentially all misses when they stand still.
We don’t talk about this in the show but the Devil Dog may see some play. It is an assault d3 weapon with a 24 inch range. You’ll hear in the show that there are lots of ways to manipulate or augment weapons like this.
Yarrick is back to his old self now with the ability to issue orders. He has been in every IG list I’ve created since 8th started and that will likely continue. Conscripts basically work the same for everything you were really taking them for anyway so you will want a Commissar or two and Yarrick certainly fits the bill.
The codex is jam packed with powerful options for the Guard and even though this episode is longer than normal, we don’t get to everything. More coverage to follow in the form of bonus episodes and videos.
The Table of Ultimate Gaming has a KickStarter going on right now. There are just a few days left and if you are on the fence about this, just know they will be more expensive after the Kickstarter ends! Take a look!
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat.

We have TWO episodes for this week. This is just the first. In this Bonus Episode we dive deep into codex Adeptus Mechanicus strategy. If that is your faction, or you just want to know what to expect when you face them, you don’t want to miss this.
Hey guys,
Competitive gaming professional Geoff Robinson joins me on this episode to put a real tight focus on tournament play for Adpetus Mechanicus. He’s been playing this faction since it came out several years ago.
Geoff is known for being a very strategic and tactical gamer and also not afraid to break the army list molds. What I mean is, I think he’s an innovator in 40k list design and it was great to sit down with him to discuss this new codex.
The Admech are missing some of the flashy things in some of the recent codexes we’ve seen (Primarchs…) but they can still bring what it takes to the tabletop.
In addition to 40k Geoff live streams video games and can be found as guest frequently on the Frontline Gaming podcast and youtube channel. At the end of the show we talk a little bit about Total War: Warhammer II.
Please let us know what you think!

FTN Episode 207 – Putting the Sass in Assassins
Sep 21, 2017
Some players are struggling to make their Power Armor lists work if they aren’t one of the few chapters/legions that have a Primarch. Maybe using an assassin or two will help you out! Cheap and effective.
Hey Everyone,
This week we had a surprising number of folks ask us our opinions on assassins. They wanted to know which ones were the best and why we thought so. This topic lined right up with our discussion on how to make a Power Armor based list with no Primarch. Let’s face.. not everyone has one and we still want to play our factions!
Andrew and Paul got to spend some time with a new buddy from the Glacial Geek YouTube channel this week. He filed a battle report facing off against Andrew and I. I can’t want to see it go live on his channel. We brought some friendly lists and it was a lot of fun slugging it out.
In the middle of the show Chris and Paul catch up with Geek and Sundry contributor Raf Cordero. He is a new 40k player – brand new – first games he has ever played are in 8th edition. Chris Morgan has been walking him through the background and figuring out which faction he wants to play. We thought it would be cool to speak to him about his journey.
In the second half of the show we talk a little bit about Warzone: Atlanta before bringing up a couple of hot Chaos items people have been using at tournaments. We speak specifically about the Malefic Lord and the Giant Chaos Spawn. The Spawn… I’m not so hot on but the Malefic lord is a problem. He’s very cheap, he Smites just as good as anyone else and can go Super Saiyan when you least expect it.

FTN Episode 206 – The Machines Walk – Adeptus Mechanicus First Looks!
Sep 16, 2017
Your god-emperor ran over my Forge World Dogma. We take a look at the Adeptus Mechanicus codex today. This book brings new rules and options to the 8th Index army. 28 Strategems, tons of relics, lots of special rules.
Yo guys,
The machines walk! This book covers both the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Imperial Knights (Questor Mechanicus). The major focus is on the Admec with only a tiny bit of cross-over rules that effect the Knights. That’s not a bad thing, I am happy to have them both in the same book.
There are some clear winners in the Forge World Dogma department. Mars has the ability to manipulate the Canticles roll, giving relevant buffs to your army every turn. Stygies VIII makes your army harder to hit from 12 inches away. Graia gives your army something kinda like feel no pain but it even works in the MORALE phase. In my opinion these are the best but these are just one element to the army. Don’t forget about the strategems and relics!
B. Cawl and many of the units in this book are similar, or the exact same, in this codex. This is a good thing for those of you who have been playing this army for a while. The Kastellan Robots are strong, the Onager Dunecrawlers are going to be a go-to for long range fire support. The additional rules in the book make a case for other units that haven’t quite hit the table yet in 8th like the Kataphrons and Electro-priests.
The Table of Ultimate Gaming has a KickStarter going on right now. There are just a few days left and if you are on the fence about this, just know they will be more expensive after the Kickstarter ends! Take a look!

After YEARS of waiting the Death Guard are getting their own codex and a Primarch straight from the warp! New figures, new strategems, new rules, new powers… We go over everything.
Hey hey,
Death Guard have been a favorite of mine for a long time. It is an incredible good feeling to hold this book in my hands. We kick off the show talking about Mortarion. He is a beast! This guy is more expensive than Magnus and I think you’ll hear why.
The book shows us tons of new figures and character models. We will be getting even more new kits!! We go over some of the new unit rules – like the Myphitic Blight-Hauler – a land based version of the Foetid Bloat-Drone.
People are going to enjoy this dex. Pox Walkers are still a strong troop choice. On top of the wall of pus Death Guard can create the Infantry and Helbrute units can also move and fire heavy weapons at no penalty. We didn’t expressly call that out on the show, I apologize. You can also see what on the Warhammer community page here.
The Table of Ultimate Gaming has a KickStarter going on right now. It fully funded in the first 5 minutes. That really speaks to the quality and design of this table. Please check out the pics below and their KickStarter page!

Sep 01, 2017
The Imperial Guard are incredibly strong – so strong that we felt like we needed to dedicate an entire episode to them. Have you beaten guard in this edition? You’re going to have to.

We do a little hype for Warzone: Atlanta this episode. We get to talk about two great sponsors for this event before getting it our 40k chats. As we see more codexes come out we discuss what you’ll lose if you decide to blend factions.
Hi All,
If you haven’t already, please check out the FTN 8th Edition Missions.They will make your games of 8th edition more competitive and fun. They are even in a ready to go tournament format.
We open the show talking about a couple of sponsors for our event Warzone: Atlanta. We’ve mentioned it before but Impudent Mortal is still running their 20% off promotion on their RUST line until the end of the month. Use promo code Warzone20 to save!
Pop Goes the Monkey joins the sponsor fray this week! These guys have an awesome Shapeways store with tons of custom accessories you can’t find anywhere else. We have personally used them and they are great! Please support the guys that support us.
In the middle of the show Paul gets the pleasure of speaking with Pay Meyer, one of the minds behind the Table of Ultimate gaming. They have a KickStarter going on right now. It full funded in the first 5 minutes. That really speaks to the quality and design of this table. Please check out the pics below and their KickStarter page!

FTN Episode 202 – Can Grey Knights Win in 8th?
Aug 17, 2017
Andrew and Horton are back in this episode to talk about army list design. Specifically we cover the core elements of Grey Knights and Chaos Space Marines World Eaters. People seem to think World Eaters are one dimensional. That is not the case. Grey Knights are an elite force where you are scrapping for points but we think we have it figured out.
Hi Guys,
If you haven’t already, please check out the FTN 8th Edition Missions.They will make your games of 8th edition more competitive and fun. They are even in a ready to go tournament format.
In the first segment we tackle the core of what we think is a good Grey Knights list. You can’t ignore how cool it is to be able to field a Grand Master in a Dreadknight. I’m not convinced you need two but Andrew has other ideas. Still, if you are considering GKs as your army, you may want to consider some of the points we detail here.
In the middle of the show we are able to catch up with Benson Green from Mindworm Games. Benson is part of a string of segments where we cover the world of game design and production. As a cautionary tale we talk a little bit about what he would have done differently if he was starting fresh. Benson is a great guy. Please check out his website here.
In part three we let Horton tell us what he’s thinking about with competitive Khorne/World Eater builds. The core is powerful and a contender in any meta. He leaves a few points left over for you to customize but we also come back to the thought that Summoning Daemons is great!
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive. If you haven’t already get your tickets NOW for the mega Las Vegas Open.
Finishing Moves this week is about masking. I know… it sounds boring but if you do it right and don’t get intimidated about screwing your model us then it can really open up your potential.

FTN Episode 201 – Summoning Daemons – Is it Good Again?
Aug 10, 2017
Lesser Daemons are in the Chaos Space Marine codex and they have gone through a couple of changes. Point decreases, Power Level Decreases and Rules Changes… We cover a few in this episode and ask “Is Summoning Good Again?” I think so.
Hi Guys,
If you haven’t already, please check out the FTN 8th Edition Missions.They will make your games of 8th edition more competitive and fun. They are even in a ready to go tournament format.
Like we say above Bloodletters, Daemonettes, Horrors and Plaguebearers are all a little different in the Chaos Space Marine codex. Folks are saying that these will replace the index versions. We don’t answer that here. Only GW and your TO can clarify that. We do talk about the potential of summoning to both gain advantage after the game has started and as a way to limit your deployment drops. Remember… points set aside for reserves doesn’t count against your detachment faction bonuses. There was an error in the first release of the show where we day deployment from a vehicle didn’t count as movement.. that has been corrected.
The second part of the show we talk a little about Warzone: Atlanta and we feature a sponsor who has graciously given us a coupon code to share for their RUST terrain line. Please check out Impudent Mortal and use code Warzone20 to receive 20% off until the end of this month (Aug 2017)
Paul sings the songs of the Noise Marines in this show too. They have a powerful ability to shoot their weapons once more when the die, even if they are in close combat. The can throw out a ton of shots at 24 inches and they really worth looking at.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive. If you haven’t already get your tickets NOW for the mega Las Vegas Open.
Finishing Moves this week is about lining up your lettering. We have all been there where we start out trying to scribble on a plague or purity seal and end up not using the space wisely. We go over some tips on how to make it look awesome.

FTN Episode 200 – 8th Edition Chaos Space Marine AND Grey Knight Codex Review!
Aug 05, 2017
The fates have aligned… Episode 200 is here and this is jam packed with TWO codex reviews. The episode is also two hours long! We have the books in hand and we talk about both of these factions. You don’t want to miss this.
Hi All,
If you haven’t already, please check out the FTN 8th Edition Missions.They will make your games of 8th edition more competitive and fun. They are even in a ready to go tournament format.
We start off speaking about Grey Knights. The Grey Knight get the new space marine flyers added to their arsenal. That’s pretty neat and gives you a way to add more versatile flyer support to your army while staying completely within your faction. You guys have already heard about the Grand Master in dreadknight armor… there is so much more.
Chaos is hard to contain to an hour. Just like the GK, expect a lot more coverage on these down the road and on our YouTube page. If you play World Eaters this is your codex. IMO they are the clear winners but there are tons of cool things in this book. Lesser Daemons make a return. I did not expect that! Death Guard and Thousand Sons are defintely getting their own book so they aren’t represented here but you do get rules to add all the cult troops – DG, EC, 1kSons, and Zerks – to lists. Outside of those two legions, the others are represented and there is a very powerful option to build your own.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive. If you haven’t already get your tickets NOW for the mega Las Vegas Open.

FTN Episode 199 – Codexes – The other 90% of Warhammer 40k 8th Edition
Jul 28, 2017
This is another double sized episode with an exclusive interview with Cool Mini Or Not about their Song of Ice and Fire wargame live on Kickstarter right now. We also talk about some up coming events and Finishing Moves is back!
Hey Guys,
We cover a lot of stuff this episode ranging from the FTN 8th Edition Missions, The CMON Kickstarter, and the new Space Marines codex.
There are a few differences in the Codex from the Index published a few weeks ago. We don’t get bogged down talking about every one of them but we do point a few important things. This big take away is make sure you look at the points and weapon options closely before going into your next game with Marines.
The Game of Thrones War-game kickstarter is on fire. This is what we’ve come to expect from Cool Mini campaigns but it is still fun to see it happen.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive. If you haven’t already get your tickets NOW for the mega Las Vegas Open.
This Finishing Moves segment is about painting stripes. On something small like a Space Marine head this can be very intimidating. We try to take some of the fear out of it for you. Please let us know if you give it a shot.

We took a week off but we are back with a double sized episode. We are are joined by two special guests as well, Carl Tuttle from The Independent Characters and Reece Robbins from Frontline Gaming. We get our hands on the new Space Marine codex and hit the highlights. You don’t want to miss this.
Yo!
The first codex for Warhammer 40k 8th edition is up for pre-order now. It is jam packed with new units, strategems, warlord traits, and psychic powers. This book gives us an idea about what to expect for future releases. Looking at the Chapter Tactics its clear to see that some Chapters made out a lot better than others but CTs are only a part of what gives the army character and depth. Once you combine the unique Strategems, Relics, and units that maximize your theme you’ll find some great possibilities in this book.
In this episode we also talk about some FTN style missions for 8th edition. You can find them here. These have been play-tested and will be used in several 3 round tournaments over the next couple of weeks. We would like to get feedback from you guys. What works, what didn’t? We’ll be publishing more very soon!
Our coverage for the ATC will be spread out over the next couple of weeks. It will be very interesting to see how the tournament scene develops after that massive event.

Jul 07, 2017
Minimizing deployment drops is something we’ve never had to worry about before. Now, it’s really fun to game the system.
Hey All
In this show we talk about the ‘scary’ stuff you may see out there in the early phase of Warhammer 40k 8th Edition meta. We also discuss the idea that ‘gaming the system’ to go first may just be a fad that people get tired of in the future. How important is it to you?
In the middle of the show we get to speak with Sarah from BattleHaven! Please check out their website. These guys put on an awesome gaming vacation event that really is designed to kick back have fun and eat.. Pretty much like a cruise ship on land.

FTN Episode 196 – Arch Daemons – Do They Change The Game?
Jun 29, 2017
I got the Forge World 8th edition indexes in hand right before were started recording this episode. Why not talk about some of the biggest baddies in 40k? These guys do not disappoint.
Yo!,
We were a little confused on how to get these big arch daemon guys deployed at the start of the show but we clarify the summoning/reserves possibility in the second half. You can summon these guys if you choose but you can also deploy them on the table.
Over the course of reviewing these dudes(gals) we talk a bit about ‘why’ they are good and how they match up with the emerging meta of 8th. There is a big scramble all over the world to host tournaments and play games. This is giving us some pretty good data on what people consider powerful right now.
Registration is open for the American Team Championship. The ATC will be a full 40k 8th edition event. FTN is going to be there! This will be the first giant 8th edition tournament and we are VERY excited.

The Finishing Moves segment is about focal points on your models. We know everyone is going to be rushing to get new figures on the able. How do you do that and still keep those painting points up? This segment is all about it. “Faces and Bases make your Models look Aces.”

FTN Bonus Episode 23 – Interview With 40k Architect Robin Cruddace
Jun 21, 2017
Robin Cruddace joins us again to talk about Warhammer 40k 8th edition all how it all started to take shape for Games Workshop. This has been in the works for a LONG time.
Hey hey,
Please forgive the little bit of audio echo in the beginning of the show. We were recording in a wide open area and after a long day of celebrating.
The enthusiasm was very high that weekend at Warhammer World. When I got there first thing in the morning people were lined up out the door to get their copy of the new game. The first two Forge World indexes were also on sale that day. Man… people were going nuts!
Robin and I talk about the origins of 8th and how he moved the idea along through the company to finally get what we have today – a totally new game that still gives us everything we’ve come to expect from 40k.
It was an amazing time. I hope you guys caught me on the live stream. It is still up for viewing on the Warhammer TV facebook page.

FTN Episode 193 – Chaos Gets a LEVIATHAN DREAD with GRAV!
May 25, 2017
Another week of AWESOME 8th edition teasers from GW. All this week I’ve been putting reaction videos on the FTN YouTube page. Please check them out if you haven’t already. Stay tuned for more!
Hey Everyone,
Chris, Ricky and Paul run down the fancy new forge world datasheet GW spoiled on their community page. We talk a lot about ‘it’ but also how it applies to what we can expect from other 40k GW and Forge World releases.
First off… it is a CHAOS Leviathan. That in and of itself is pretty dern cool. It has weapons that seem amazing. Not knowing the points it is hard to see how efficient it is. If this thing is under 300 points with its weapon options.. ohh man, this is going to be good.

FTN Episode 192 – Did the World Need Bigger Space Marines?
May 20, 2017
Another week of AWESOME 8th edition teasers from GW. All this week I’ve been putting reaction videos on the FTN YouTube page. Please check them out if you haven’t already. Stay tuned for more!
Hey Everyone,
It is just Paul and guest Ricky Addington this week. We run down the teasers for Strategems, Tactical Reserves and talk more about the Primaris Space Marines.
We are seeing the big picture come together for 8th and we are still extremely excited. It will be a whole new, better, game that rewards generalship and cunning play.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive. Frontline is hosting another destination tournament event! Tickets go on sale for the SoCal Open May 1st!
This week we focus on ‘getting ready for 8th edition.’ I bet we all have a few models that need some love to get ready for the tabletop.

FTN Episode 191 – Are Death Stars Dead?
May 13, 2017
This has been a crazy week for 40k. We had a TON of rules discussion directly from the Warhammer Community team. All this week I’ve been putting reaction videos on the FTN YouTube page. Please check them out if you haven’t already.
Yo Guys,
This week is just Chris and Paul on the mic giving our impressions of Warhammer 40k 8th Edition. The Games Workshop is giving us a little bit of the rules each day to digest. Today we got an update on Warzone: Damoclese.
The second part of the show we focus a lot on the dramatic increase in shooting efficiency from Twin Linked weapons and Combi Weapons.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive. Frontline is hosting another destination tournament event! Tickets go on sale for the SoCal Open May 1st!
this week is about Blood Effects. We talk a lot about using Blood for the Blood God technical paint but there are a lot of ways to accomplish this on your miniatures.

FTN Age of Sigmar Episode 2 – An Aethergolden Opportunity
May 12, 2017
Sigmar has really taken off and we wanted to talk about it! It’s what we do… Sorry for the long delay but the FTN AoS episode 2 is ready for download. Don’t worry… the 40k episode this week is coming soon behind.
GUYS!
I know that not everyone who subscribes to this show plays Age of Sigmar. I hope you’ll be ok with this being part of our show rotation. It will likely only be every 4-6 weeks and it will absolutely not replace the 40k show – even on the weeks we release both episodes.
We discuss our hobby projects and our initial impressions of the Kharadron Overlords. Some of us are pretty impressed. It is hard not to like models, that’s for sure.
Other think the ships and the Overlords themselves don’t stack up to the current meta stating they don’t believe they are durable enough or fast enough. This all remains to be seen but I think their combination of interesting transport rules and vehicle artifacts is powerful.
In the middle of the show we do a segment on the miniature game industry as a whole with Benson Green from Mindworm games.
Mindworm games is a true DIY company and part of a community of DIY game companies that are finding success in this industry. If you are remotely curious how it all comes together please check it out.
We close out the show with a little bit of a deeper dive into why I think people have yet to unlock the true power of flying fantasy dwarves!

This the Warhammer: Age of Sigmar crew for Forge The Narrative. Each episode is going to be about an hour long and focus on the competitive side of the game. Sure.. we’re going to nerd out and talk about causal play or stuff that has nothing to do with AoS from time to time but we hope you’ll enjoy the ride.

FTN Episode 190 – Where Are We Going With 40k 8th Edition?
May 04, 2017
This has been a crazy week for 40k. We had a TON of rules discussion directly from the Warhammer Community team. All this week I’ve been putting reaction videos on the FTN YouTube page. Please check them out if you haven’t already.
Hey everyone,
The first part of the show has us really getting deep with the Psychic, Morale and Shooting phase. Things that we have taken for granted for a long time are changing. We think they are changing for the better but we know not everyone agrees. If you are in that camp hopefully we can change your mind.
The second part of the show we talk about what to do while you’re waiting for 8th edition. For some of those hobby projects that always take a back burner, it may be their time! This can be sprucing up your terrain, re-basing an army or completely assembling your silver tower bad guys. There is no time like this lag between editions. Folks in my area have been playing a LOT of Shadow War.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive. Frontline is hosting another destination tournament event! Tickets go on sale for the SoCal Open May 1st!
This week we discuss hobby projects in general. We’ll be back next week with hobby techniques keying off what we discussed in this (and the last episode). We’ll be talking about quick terrain tips and stuff you can do to your figs in the meantime.

FTN Episode 189 – New Warhammer 40k – 8th Edition – More Info!
Apr 27, 2017
The guys at GW have been dropping daily teasers for the upcoming edition of Warhammer 40k. This has us going crazy. The game has needed an overhaul of this scale for a couple of editions and we are finally seeing it happen!
Hey folks,
In the first segment Chris, Adam, and Paul talk about the new stat lines that appeared for Space Marines. Movement, Wounds and Saves are going to be HUGE factors in 8th. I am a big fan of seeing the movement stat return and having ‘who charges first’ be something people may be concerned about. Its a tactical element of the game that has long been forgotten.
Paul sits down with Warboss Dugg from Tablewar. This guy is a daemon on the table and no matter what the edition he has always remained competitive. He secured a spot in the sweet 16 at Adepticon for the 4th time. It was great to sit down with him and discuss how he did it. He took a Gladius but WHY he did it and how he was successful is pretty interesting. He discusses leagues and the competitive scene in the Sol Cal area.
After the spot with Dugg we get back to that sweet sweet 8th edition information from the GW Community team. With only 3 weapons ‘spoiled’ it opens up a treasure trove of discussion and theory crafting about what we can expect. Will we see a need to keep things like Instant Death in the game? Sure… Destoryer weapons may be going away but if they are neg 15 to save what would be the difference? What do you guys think?
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive. Frontline is hosting another destination tournament event! Tickets go on sale for the SoCal Open May 1st!
We talk about paint from the ground up today for EXTREME Weathering. There are a couple of products on the market right now that make this incredibly drastic looking job easy as 1-2-3. We discuss chipping mediums today.

FTN Episode 188 – Warhammer 40,000 8th Edition – What We Know So Far
Apr 22, 2017
We, in the States, woke up to a blast of news from Games Workshop. 8th Edition is on the way and the company released a surprising amount of information. Here is our initial reactions and a little more explanation of what we think we know so far. Hear more reactions on twitter @warmaster_tpm and the huge amount of folks posting there this morning after the news hit.
Hey guys,
A brand new site debuted today for Warhammer 40,000. We can see a break down of all the current and NEW factions. I didn’t expect this to be so fleshed out this far in advance of the release. You are gonna want to check this out. Check out that Faction section for sure.
The full Warhammer 40k 8th FAQ, as we know it so far can be found here. It is light on specifics but BIG on information and enthusiasm.
If you don’t subscribe to the Warhammer Community page, please do. They promise daily content for all of their core games. So far this has included everything all the way up to free rules with a lot more to come.

FTN Episode 187 – Shadow War on the Brain and THREE Special Guests!
Apr 14, 2017
This is a jam packed episode and almost two hours long! We continue with our Shadow War and Adpeticon coverage. Shadow War is a totally different game than some of you may be familiar with. It is totally worth a look..
Yo,
The first part of the show Paul is joined by Reece from Frontline Gaming and Signals from the Frontline. We are pretty jazzed to talk about something new coming to the ITC Rankings – HOBBY SCORES! Yep… this is no easy task but there a lot of motivated people behind making this work. It is going to give a whole different crew of people a reason to get out and play in some of these events. I can’t wait! Who is gonna be the best Blood Angels?!
In the second part of the show we focus on the particulars of Shadow War Armageddon a little more than we did last week. The points for things seem alien and WAY inflated from what we’re used to for 40k but this helps make it feel like a totally different game. I like that. I think its an excuse to put even more time and attention into every model. This is the perfect distraction while we hold tight waiting for new things to come later this year…. A ton of factions are up for free to download on the Warhammer Community site and more are on the way!
About an hour in: Our second special guest this week is none other than Dave Nordquist from Mini Wargaming. Dave is great. He was an absolute pleasure to meet in Chicago and we are honored to have him on our show. He talks about the origins of Mini Wargaming, his past lives and the secrets to MWG’s success.
Our third guest is Matthias Weeks from Adepticon. He is one of the primary forces behind this amazing convention experience. I’ve know Matt for a bunch of years now and he has always remained grounded and focused on being a true destination event for gamers and con goers. The Adepticon folks put on a stellar show. Please consider putting it on your list, if it isn’t already.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. Their new mats are now hot off the presses and getting ready to be shipped. If you hit them up SOON you may still be able to get their shipping discounts and introductory pricing. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive.
We get real narrow with our topic today. It’s about when to flock.. and when to tuft. We manage to sneak in some other tips during this segment but the choice of what to use for your bases has a lot to do with the height of the model and the overall effect you’re shooting for.

FTN Age of Sigmar Episode 1 – First Show 100% (97.5%) about Age of Sigmar
Apr 08, 2017
Sigmar has really taken off and we wanted to talk about it! It’s what we do… This first episode takes a look at Warhammer Age of Sigmar in general and then we get a little deeper into the new Stormcast Eternals book. We also get to chat with the author of Warscroll Builder. Fun times!
GUYS!
I know that not everyone who subscribes to this show plays Age of Sigmar. I hope you’ll be ok with this being part of our show rotation. It will likely only be every 4-6 weeks and it will absolutely not replace the 40k show – even on the weeks we release both episodes.
The Sigmar tournament at Adepticon went from 40 players last year to over 100 this year. More and more people are playing this great game. I think we can all also see the writing on the wall that some of the concepts from this gem are going to make it over to 40k.
We kick off the show with a bit of Sigmar talk ‘in general’ before getting into the new Stormcast’s specifically. I know nothing about these guys so it was fun to ask questions and let the experts talk.
For the last couple of weeks I’ve focused on painting Sylvaneth – these are great models. They are so wonderfully detailed and have been a joy to put paint on.
The second part of the show Paul is joined by Tony Pacheco, the author of Warscroll Builder on scrollbuilder.com. This is an awesome web based tool for daydreaming about lists you may want to build in the future. It will soon be incorporated into the main GW Community page. Wow!
We’ll be getting back in touch with Tony as things develop on that front. It was awesome to hear that he is just as much of a fanboy about this sort of stuff as we are. He and his crew have been holding AoS down on the west coast.

FTN Episode 186 – Shadow War: Armageddon – Looking at the Future?
Apr 07, 2017
Shadow War: Armageddon is flying off the shelves and eBay is on fire with people trying to get top dollar with their copies.. Worry not! GW plans to make the rules a lot more accessible soon.
Hey guys,
This game gives us a TON more to do with the figures we love by taking us all the way back to just about 2nd edition Warhammer 40k. Shadow War is part action movie, part role-playing game and 100% all skirmish based combat.
The interesting thing here with these ‘throw back’ rules is that things like the weapons and armor save interactions sounds a lot like what the GW design studio revealed to us recently on the last show and at the Adepticon preview.
We blend our talk about this exciting release with our hopes for the future of 40k. We are extremely optimistic about any changes coming our way. Games like Shadow War gives us a chance to stop and smell the roses a bit and appreciate what we have right now. This game is being heavily supported by the Warhammer Community page. If you haven’t already it is worth checking it out.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. They just launched their new robot themed table mats and terrain. These look amazing together. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive.
Today’s finishing moves segment is a brief reminder to remember all the tricks and don’t give up… You know some of this magic only takes a few more minutes of your time – do it while you are still sitting in the painting chair. You will thank yourself later.

FTN Bonus Episode 22 – Games Workshop Design Studio Interview!
Apr 01, 2017
Paul sits down with a couple of guys from the Games Workshop Design Studio for a live chat at Adpeticon. We talk about the upcoming game, Shadespire, and the future of Warhammer 40k!
Hey hey,
This is part of our ongoing coverage from Adpeticon 2017. Paul gets to chat with Eddie Eccles from the GW community team, Jes Bickham and Robbin Cruddace from the GW rules design team.
Obviously, there is only so much they can reveal in this chat but they covered some pretty interesting things during their studio preview and we get to expound on them a little more here.
You can tell these guys are excited about the new things coming down the pipe and it was an absolute joy speaking with them. I try to ask the hard questions – like about Squats and game balance but this ends up being a great chat about the current state of things and the wonderful things to come.
Mr. Bickham helped jump-start the new White Dwarf magazine and I just had to shake his hand. This magazine is better than it ever has been, if you aren’t already a regular subscriber please check it out.

FTN Episode 185 – Adepticon Recap and Duncan Rhodes!
Mar 30, 2017
Paul is back from Adepticon and the normal crew is back to recording. There is a lot of additional coverage on the FTN facebook and from @warmaster_tpm on twitter.
Hey all,
In this episode we go a little more in detail about what we know from the GW studio preview at Adpeticon. The crew weighs in on what we think about the upcoming changes and how we think it will effect the game.
Paul talks a little bit about his experience at the 4 man team tournament and team Wrong Way Kids bringing down 4th place over all and BEST SPORTS in this highly competitive event.
We also get a little more in depth about everything we know so far about Shadespire! This game doesn’t come out for months so there isn’t a ton we know or can say but it looks to be fast paced, competitive, and have huge replay potential.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. They just launched their new robot themed table mats and terrain. These look amazing together. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive.
After the main segment of the show Paul is joined by Duncan Rhodes and Roger Yates from the Warhammer TV crew. After an interview segment with them Duncan tells us how he paints Eyes on his character models. He is every bit as enthusiastic in person and you don’t want to miss this.

FTN Episode 184 – A mini Episode – GW Design Studio News and more…
Mar 29, 2017
Games Workshop blew us away.. like out of our seats at Adpeticon this year during their design studio preview..We got the briefest tidbit of what we may see in the future. There is a lot of additional coverage on the FTN facebook and from @warmaster_tpm on twitter. This is a mini episode – a LOT more will come later this week.
Hey guys,
We start this short show off with Paul, Captain Morgan and Troopsmash getting the goods on the GW design studio preview. This was a sold out event where they gave a slight preview of some things we may be able to expect in the future for 40k and Age of Sigmar. At the end of it we even got to see the brand new game – Shadespire! Its not going to be out for a long time so it was so neat that we got to see it. This episode was recorded over the course of a few days at the convention with other folks in the room, still… it’s a fun show.
Adepticon has tons of vendors in attendance. Paul is lucky enough to catch up with Shapeways and Dicehead.com. The back part of the show is two mini spots with them. Like I said, this episode is going to be short but believe when I say this.. you WILL want to tune in later this week for more content recorded at Adepticon.
Shadespire is said to be focused on matched play and organized play and from what we can tell GW is committed to that. It is part deckbuilder, part mini combat and 100% competitive. Matches play quickly.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. They just launched their new robot themed table mats and terrain. These look amazing together. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive. It’s neat having FLG on this week to talk about this themselves.
There is no hobby segment in this show but here is a spoiler… the next Finishing Moves segment you hear on FTN will be delivered by the myth… the legend… Duncan Rhodes.

FTN Episode 183 – The SQUATS are back – Just Kidding…
Mar 17, 2017
The Squats aren’t back but GW sure is throwing all those old fans a bone with their upcoming Age of Sigmar release. Adepticon is on the horizon too, expect a lot of coverage on the FTN facebook and from @warmaster_tpm on twitter.
Games Workshop unveiled two new upcoming boxed games this week, Shadow War: Armageddon for 40k and Warhammer: Shadespire for Age of Sigmar. I think we called it Shadowspire in the show so please forgive us.
Shadespire is said to be focused on matched play and organized play. Color me interested… I can’t wait to hear more about these products. We talk just a little bit about the new dwarf faction for AoS too. Man… this has been a good week.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. They just launched their new robot themed table mats and terrain. These look amazing together. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive. It’s neat having FLG on this week to talk about this themselves.
The hobby segment this week is about getting some unique looks on metallics. You can use shades and washes to completely change the tint of silvers almost like magic.. or alchemy.. In any case, it can really help some of your character models or line troops to stand out from the rest when you create a unique color for them.

FTN Episode 182 – Player Spotlight and General Shenanigans
Mar 10, 2017
We shine a light on Geoff “@iNcontroLTV” Robinson this episode before getting down with our brand of 40k talk with Reece Robbins from Frontline Gaming.
Yo,
Captain Morgan is out in Cali hanging out with the Frontline crew this week and we were happy to have Reece join us for our normal recording.
After a quick intro Paul sits down with Geoff Robinson for a player spotlight. Geoff is a serious competitor on the tournament scene but his talents and interest stretch well past Warhammer 40k. If you like general geek talk (and let’s be honest.. that’s why you’re here) I think you’re gonna like this. Geoff has a great approach to the game and life in general.
After the spotlight we talk a little bit about what we hope may happen after the Gathering Storm is over and we finally get to the ‘Storm.’ Games Workshop has delivered some massive combo punches and we aren’t even through the first quarter of 2017!
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. They just launched their new robot themed table mats and terrain. These look amazing together. Please check them out, even if you already have a game mat. Their new styles are very impressive. It’s neat having FLG on this week to talk about this themselves.
We were short on time this week so this tip is quick and decisive.. It’s all about adding that last little touch to any fire you want to put on a miniature. We hope you enjoy it.

FTN Episode 181 – Roboute Guilliman is BACK, Gathering Storm III Review
Mar 04, 2017
This is a JAM PACKED episode. We start things off talking about the big blue man himself Roboute Guilliman. You don’t want to miss this!
Hey Guys,
The loyalist get their first Primarch in 40k in the form of a giant blue monster! This guy is a combat beast with stats to match. He is going to struggle a bit getting in to combat but once he gets there… ohh baby, he is going to come out on top.
His weapons combine into a single piece of wargaer that allows him to roll on the D chart when he rolls a 6 to hit. He also has Precision Strikes, this means he is able to apply the D exactly where he wants it!
In the middle of the show I talk with Andrew Standiferd about his victory at the LVO on the Age of Sigmar side. We get inside his head a bit. He’s great to talk to and I hope you enjoy it.

The hobby segment is neat talk about the color where and color theory. It sounds a bit boring to ‘think about’ but there is a ton of science behind the principal. This is the kind of knowledge that can up your game quite a bit.

FTN Episode 180 – Are Harlequins Good Again? Were they Ever?
Feb 24, 2017
I ask the guys this week to talk about the Gathering Storm Book II specifically for us to determine if it gave Harlequins what they need to be competitive outside of the Reborn Warhost Detachment.
Hey Everyone,
I am long time fan of Harlequins. They were my first army. I remember going to the game store and asking if they had any Eldar. They said no but they did have this box of Harlequins that were almost Eldar. I bought them and I was hooked.
This was back in the day when you could field 15,000 points with just a handful of models. The Harlequins didn’t disappoint and they were exactly what I needed to match up against my buddies.
I don’t want to spoil the episode but we do dissect the Soulburst – Strength from Death – rule. Sadly, I don’t think the Harlequins are going to return to their ancient glory in the Reborn Warhost but the new HQ models this books gives them may help them bring some new life to the humble Combined Arms Detachment.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. They have a ton of good stuff coming out over the next few month and we are excited to be a part of helping them promote it and their events.
Our hobby talk is intertwined with the show this week but please check out Frontline and their AWESOME new range of mats. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – these mats are the easiest and best way to pro up your gaming table. Your figures really do glide across the surface and your friends will be impressed.

FTN Episode 179 – Bring on the Dancing Horses
Feb 17, 2017
This is a packed episode and not a ton of it is with 40k… I know, we’re a 40k show! We lead off with Finishing Moves, then we ramble a bit before Andrew brings us back to talk about his latest Army List brew. We get a great interview with Cool Mini or Not for the second part of the show. Check it out!
Yo Guys,
We take a pretty fresh look at what stats mean to 40k and where you can find them in hard to see places. Specifically we compare a flesh hound of Khorne with a Rough Rider from the IG. Crazy right? Maybe not… The jury is still out for me but it made for a neat discussion.
There is a brief interlude where Paul pretty much just whines about 40k art print sizes but we move past it pretty quickly..
The back part of the show Troop and Paul get to speak with Michael Shinall from Cool Mini or Not. He talks to us about all the cool things they have going on right now and in the very near future. Their innovative rules design and clever sculpts are great. If you haven’t checked out their site in a while it is worth it. They make fun games, no two ways about it.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. They have a ton of good stuff coming out over the next few month and we are excited to be a part of helping them promote it and their events.
We ran out of time this week for the finishing moves but don’t worry! It will be back double next week but please check out our segment sponsor in the meantime. These guys are killing it in all aspects of our hobby.

To us it seems like Inferno has been teased for way too long before we got to see the pages. It was well worth the wait.
Hey hey,
The Las Vegas Open went down over the weekend and our man Captain Morgan was on the scene as both a player on the 30k side and a judge on the 40k side for day one. We spend a few minutes getting his take on this massively awesome event.
Its been way too long since we’ve talked about 30k stuff on the show. With that in mind we get a deluge of news from the Horus Heresy Weekender. This episode is primarily about the Sisters of Silence, Custodes and Space Wolves. You can find some of the stuff up for pre-order here.
Forge World and Games Workshop created two drastically different looking Imperial Armies. This is going to really alter the look of the 30k landscape. To me, this is pretty dern cool since HH is a lot of recently Imperial and Imperial forces fighting each other. To someone just passing by the table it may look a little too generic. No MORE! We are impressed.

FTN Bonus Episode 21 – Game Design 102 – Class is in Session
Feb 08, 2017
If you are the slightest bit curious what goes into designing your favorite games or even have a few designs in mind, yourself, you are not going to miss this.
Folks,
This is a two part episode. For the first part I am joined by Benson Green from Mindworm Games where we discuss the basics of building a production pipeline. We cover a bit at the high level before getting a little into the weeds.
This links up to the episode we had him on a few weeks ago. Please check out our Articles section for quick reference to where that is. I apologize that this episode ran long so I didn’t include that bit as mentioned during the segment.
The second part of the show I am joined by a full on Professor of Game design from the prestigious Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Atlanta. Chris Dodson and I got back a ways and it was really neat to catch up with him again to chat about these topics.
In this section we talk about the basics of Prototyping your design. He take on the subject is pretty fascinating and resonates in a very real way I think you guys are going to appreciate.
Please let us know what you think!

FTN Episode 177 – Have We Forgotten the IG?! Nope..
Feb 03, 2017
With every book and rule release we get to go back and take a look at everything that has come before with fresh eyes. If you guys have recently discovered any old gems, please let us know.
Hey Guys,
In this episode we take a look back at the IG. We don’t just look at how it fits into new formations or lists but we also talk specifically how some of the units we may have forgotten about stack up well against lots of units people are commonly taking today.
Its neat to break open an old codex with a fresh approach and I think that so many of us forget to do that. Even still.. seeing some of this stuff across the table again can be refreshing surprise.
The back half of the show I spend some time talking with our friends Horton Doughton and Mike Twitchell about an upcoming tournament they are running March 11th at Atomic Empire n North Carolina. They are trying something new with list restrictions/design and really trying to take a lot of subjective scoring out of the equation. Please check out their event at this Facebook link.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. They have a ton of good stuff coming out over the next few month and we are excited to be a part of helping them promote it and their events.
In line with last week’s hobby segment we talk about Masking – not just with tape. Sure.. tape works, but how do you apply it and what are some other options. We remove a little mystery from this topic and I hope you enjoy it.

FTN Episode 176 – How to Get the Most Bang for Your Psychic Buck
Jan 27, 2017
We get specific with one of the Gathering Storm Relics we talked about last week and how it applies to the Imperial Soup. Its neat to be able to look back at older releases every time we get new stuff in our hands.
Yo,,
We talk a little about the new GW boxed game, Gangs of Commorragh, in the first part of this show. We have a full review of the game in our articles section too. Check it out here.
The we get into army design talking about a listener submitted Imperial Knight list using some new technology out of the Gathering Storm book.
As mentioned, its really nice being able to get more use out of the models you may already have and incorporate some of the new stuff at the same time. The back part of the show is a recording I did with Horton Doughton. We tackle a pretty interesting subject – effective casting dice for Psychic Powers. Even if you think you’ve got this part figured out, I think you’re still going to enjoy it.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Frontline Gaming. They have a ton of good stuff coming out over the next few month and we are excited to be a part of helping them promote it and their events.
The FM’s this week is all about using stencils. This, depending on your patience with them, can be infuriating! We give you some tips on how to make this task a little less daunting and get some impressive effects on your figures.

FTN Episode 175 – More Relics For the Imperial Soup!
Jan 20, 2017
This episode is a bit of mixed bag but we do get down and dirty with a few Gathering Storm Relics from the two tables in there. You’re going to want to put a few of these in your Imperial army. Who doesn’t want another way to get Eternal Warrior in your list? I know I do.
Hey Guys,
The first part of the show Paul goes on and on about the latest incarnation of White Dwarf. For real.. If you don’t already subscribe or got out of the habit of picking up an issue from time to time at your local store it is time to start back. These magazines are jam packed with hobby tips and inspiration. I apologize in advance for the page flipping sounds!
We sort of have a round table bet on the total number of Tau Mantas that exist in the world. What do you think? Over or under 100?
Paul played in Warzone: Columbia over the weekend using Chaos Renegades. The stand out formation in the list ended up being the KDK Gorepack. We’ve talked about it before but here is another testimony. After the break we talk about a few of the Relics from the Gathering Storm book. When you factor in that the War Convocation can get a few of them for free they take on a new light. The Ecclesiarch get a few winners too that get opened up to any Imperial Detachment that takes Celestine.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Gamemat.eu. Their Industrial Terrain set is great and they offer a product that is pre-painted. This, combined with their mats, is a great way to get playing with professional looking game boards fast.
We explore the finer points of Woodland Camo. This is the ‘basic’ camo pattern that you saw on every IG tank when they were first released. This is what the ‘ig book’ suggested and that’s what we did! Anyway, we make this a lot less mysterious and if you’re looking for a way to get started with this I think you’ll like the segment.

FTN Episode 174 – See Ya Later Cadia – Gathering Storm Review
Jan 13, 2017
We run down the Gathering Storm book today and give our initial impressions on the power characters – Belisarius Cawl and the dramatic return of St. Celestine. You don’t want to miss this!
Yo Everyone,
The Imperium gets to add a few incredibly powerful characters and formations to the soup this week. There is almost 100 pages of backstory and epic moments before you see your first rule in this book. I highly suggest you get it if you a collector of the stories and especially if you’re an Imperial player.
We cover all three of the new characters in this episode but the two stand outs are Cawl and Celestine. These guys are incredibly durable with no compromise to their offensive output. Cawl comes to the table with 5 wounds and Celestine weighs in with an impressive effective 9 (NINE) wounds at the start of the game.
Both of these characters have a way to renew their wound pool as the game goes on. Your opponent absolutely has to dedicate a tremendous amount of firepower to knock these guys out. They also fit right in to the brand new super formations in this book. The “Imperial Soup” gets real with all of the forces of the Imperium allowed to be combined in great formations. Dust off your Coteaz figures, he is back to being a stud.
In the middle of the show starting around 22 mins in, I get to talk to Benson Green from Mindworm Games about ‘how to get started in the gaming industry.’ This is a segment we are going to continue. Please let us know what topics you’d like us to cover.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Gamemat.eu. Their Industrial Terrain set is great and they offer a product that is pre-painted. This, combined with their mats, is a great way to get playing with professional looking game boards fast.
This segment is all about the pox, buboes and sores that a lot of figures have. You can also use it for fresher wounds or scars for the less that nurgly figures.

FTN Bonus Episode 20 – Witness The Firepower of this Fully Armed and Operational Magnus
Jan 06, 2017
We are still on Holiday Time at FTN but we are kicking off the New Year with another bonus episode on Chaos army lists.
Hey Everyone,
Horton Doughton is back with us but this time we’re joined by FTN regular Andrew Whittaker.
Today we go over one way to build a Tzeentch list featuring Magnus the Red. This guy is a freight train of destruction. He checks all the boxes – cool model, awesome rules and a bad ass background.
In the middle of the show I do a short segment with Skari from Skaredcast on youtube talking about the Barrie Bash in Ontario Canada. At the start of the second half we give a quick shout out to the Golden Sprue Cup. If you are able to attend these events please do! More quality events like this keeps our community strong.
We close the show out taking about a pretty versatile Iron Warriors list that really takes advantage of the Iron Warriors base Legion rules. The Iron Warriors really get flood the board with quality 2+ save units that can threaten things on all levels of the game.

FTN Bonus Episode 19 – The Traitor Legions Will Win Tournaments
Dec 23, 2016
Yo.. This may be the final episode of 2016 and we are going out with a competitive bang. Horton joins me again for us to get real analytical on a couple of Traitor Legion list concepts. We talk specifically about World s and Alpha Legion.
Hey Everyone,
Horton Doughton shares his take on a new World Eaters list based on the new detachments in the Traitor Legion book. I’ll post it below.
To really understand his choices Paul grills him a bit on ‘why’ he has built things out the way he does. It’s a nice exercise to go through with a top tournament player. Getting that perspective can help either solidify your list or help you re-think some of your choices. Our community is full of great folks to bounce these sorts of ideas off of.
I mention a couple of upcoming tournaments in the first few mintutes of the show. Horton and I will be at the SCARAB event in South Carolina. On the same weekend in Ohio, we also mention the Glass City Tournament. Please check out those links.
In the middle of the show I do a spot with Zach Becker from the London Grand Tournament. They have taken that event from a small club level endeavor to one of the largest events in the world for gaming. Horton and I come back in after this segment to talk about Alpha Legion chaos cultists.
Horton’s World Eater Face Beater:
World Eaters Butcherhorde:
Chaos Warband
Khorne Lord, Juggernaut, Power Fist, Lighting Claw, Sigil of corruption, Talisman of Burning Blood
3 Terminators, 3 Combi-Melta
5 CSM, melta bomb
5 Csm, Melta bomb
5 havoks, melta bomb
10 Bikers
5 Bikers, Power Fist
5 Bikers, Power Fist
Aux choice:
1 Chaos Spawn
Fist of Khorne:
Khrybdis Assault Claw
20 Khorne Berzerkers, Icon of Wrath, 1 chain axe

FTN Bonus Episode – Player Spotlight on Horton Doughton
Dec 20, 2016
We have some amazing players in and around my surrounding area and we thought it would be great to sit down with a few of them and really try to get inside their heads. It’s a pleasure to introduce you guys to these folks.
Yo,
Horton Doughton is one of the true greats in this hobby. He’s easily a contender for best sport even when he is tearing people’s heads off. He’s managed to consistently make assault based strategies work all through 6th and 7th edition 40k.
Horton is a member of the Borderlands Gaming group and trains with Mike Twitchell, who you may remember from the previous player spotlight we featured.
The game Borderlands is developed by Gearbox Software, co-founded by Randy Pitchford, and is an action role-playing first-person shooter video game. It is very popular amongst though wishing to become pro-gamers.
I mentioned that Horton is a terror on the tabletop and I meant it. We try to spend a little time getting into ‘how’ he approaches the game to get an idea of how he’s been so successful. Mr. Doughton is the number one ranked Khorne Daemonkin player in the world based on ITC rankings.
It was a sincere pleasure sitting down to speak with him. If you like this interview and want to hear more from Horton then you’re in luck! We have another bonus episode coming out later this week where he and Paul tear down a couple of stout Traitor Legion army lists.

FTN Episode 173 – The Nitty Gritty of Chaos
Dec 16, 2016
The Traitor Legion book has no end of awesome combos. With no rolls necessary Chaos can now put several 2+ re-roll save Daemon Princes on the table. Watch out! These armies can threaten the top tier.
Hey guys,
We are wrapping up the year talking about Chaos in a way that I never thought we would again. The Traitor Legion book is very strong and can compete at the top tier with just a little work. We talk a lot about the Night Lords in this show.
The combo of rules offered with Traitor Legions is amazing. Like we state you can either go pretty easy on your commitment and pick up the Legion base rules or you can fully commit and get the ‘full frontal’ package that Chaos offers.
We also call out a few things about the Emperor’s Children and the Night Lords. This book would be impossible to cover in one show so please indulge us as we continue to dive into the various legions. We’ll be having a bonus episode on ‘crunchy’ list design soon too.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Gamemat.eu. Their Industrial Terrain set is great and they offer a product that is pre-painted. This, combined with their mats, is a great way to get playing with professional looking game boards fast.
It’s all about hair today. Hair today, gone tomorrow.. I couldn’t resist. We talk about painting the wild an bushy type stuff like Space Wolves and Dwarves and also the molded cuts of the Blood Angels as well.

FTN Episode 172 – Jam Packed With Chaos and Gift Guides!
Dec 09, 2016
The Traitor Legion book is about to hit the shelves and this crew is crazy excited. It is everything we wanted and more. We also run down some gifts for the gamer who has everything in this show.
Yo yo,
We cram a lot into this show so I apologize in advance for the fast pace of it. We kick the show off talking a little bit about pop culture before getting deep into the core of the Traitor Legion book. The part right of the break is where we go into the ‘gifts’ for the gamer who has everything.
The Chaos Warband is pretty much the core of any of the Legion Cult mega formations. It looks like a bit point sink but in reality it is incredibly flexible and when you lay the legion rules on top of it…. Man.. it’s actually good.
GW has done a great job with this book. They are really doing all they can to work off of existing codexes and live in the new reality of where we just get supplements and updates without having to need a new parent codex.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Gamemat.eu. Their Industrial Terrain set is great and they offer a product that is pre-painted. This, combined with their mats, is a great way to get playing with professional looking game boards fast.
The Finishing Moves segment is about painting Leather. The reason we chose to focus here is that leather and ‘organic material’ should have a much different texture than the rest of the model in sci-fi ranges. Everyone on the show has a take on this.

FTN Episode 171 – 1,000 Sons in 60 Minutes – Is Magnus a Flying Baneblade?
Dec 02, 2016
This Wrath of Magnus set is awesome. It advances the story in ways I don’t think we long time gamers every thought we would see. We also get the first plastic primarch! He’s a daemon, but whatever.. They are just getting started.
Hey guys,
Thousand Son players should be really happy about this release but it means a lot to Chaos and Daemon players in general. I think this book will definitely see some play.
We on the show don’t agree about the power level of the big red man Magnus. His point cost does severely limit how your army can be built but I don’t care. I think he is a truck that is going to turn the tides of battle in the same way the Super Tuna does. Meaning – he’s great… but he’s not unkillable and won’t just win the game by himself.
The new pink horrors are a real issue. Their rules are going to be pretty dern frustrating to people until they learn how to deal with them. I think the intent is for them NOT to have malefic powers but due to the way the BRB is worded – I think they’re going to get them for many RAW players out there.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Gamemat.eu. Their Industrial Terrain set is great and they offer a product that is pre-painted. This, combined with their mats, is a great way to get playing with professional looking game boards fast.
The Finishing Moves segment is about stubble and shaved heads. This is a stumper for a lot of people there – me included. We go over some tips and tricks on how to pull this off and really help give you some separation from the field.

FTN Bonus Episode 17 – Player Spotlight with Mike Twitchell
Nov 25, 2016
Mike is one of the best Warhammer players I have ever encountered. We try to pick his brain a bit and give a different perspective on army list design and capturing mission objectives.
Hey Everyone,
Mike has been a player on the scene for many editions of 40k. He’s been great at all of them. Even with being a terror on the table top, he has always been a joy to play. Mike captures the best aspects of our hobby.
I’ve known Mike for a number of years and I am happy to feature him on the show this week. He’s a regular at major events on the East Coast. He is a safe bet to take home one of the major prize categories whenever he is in the field.
Andrew does the driving for a pretty detailed interview on how Mike ‘attacks’ each tournament format. Even if you feel like you’re solid on these concepts, it is still nice to hear it from a proven champion. Mike has taken home the gold at several major events over the last couple of years and pulled down countless local awards.
Mike (Twitch) is also a community leader. He organizes events in his area while supporting surrounding one organized by others. This goes back to me saying that Twitch captures all the best aspects of our hobby. He is truly community minded and one of the reasons 40k is still going strong, in our area, today.
We will be doing more of these Player Spotlight episodes in the coming weeks. Please let us know the types of questions you’d like us to ask.

FTN Bonus Episode 16 – Gav Thorpe Joins Us on the Mic
Nov 22, 2016
Check out this special Bonus Episode of Forge The Narrative. Gav Thorpe is a venerable figure in our hobby and has been a part of the scene for a long time. Join us as we go all the way from Dark Angels, to Age of Sigmar, then to Eldar. It’s a great show.
Hey Guys,
Azrael is out now in a sweet limited edition production from the Black Library. We caught up with Gav the day after the Black Library open day so he is able to talk with us about all the sweet things they spoiled there.
I jump right into it with some hard hitting questions but don’t worry, we keep this spoiler free.
Gav talks with us about not only his current projects but also a few things he has coming out in the future. We get to discuss a little bit about the 2016 Advent Calendar from BL and some really neat Eldar pieces he has in the works.
It is pretty neat to pick his brain about why he chose to write about some of the subjects he has. It is even neater to see that stuff come to life the way it does on the page. Gav has brought a lot of color and depth to characters that had previously been on the fringe.
If you were curious if we talk about Primarchs and upcoming Primarch releases…. Don’t worry, we do.

FTN Bonus Episode 15 – Reece from Frontline Gaming Takes Over!
Nov 20, 2016
Check out this special Bonus Episode of Forge The Narrative. It is always fun to talk with Reece and the other guys from Frontline Gaming. We talk about the LVO, the tournament scene, how influences from other areas of gaming, such as the rise of lol smurfs, is impacting the game, and a lot more.
Hey Everyone,
The Las Vegas Open has tickets on sale right now. It is truly a world-class event with tons of stuff happening the whole weekend. Did I mention that it’s happening in Las Vegas? There is a little something for everyone there.
The event, for me, officially kicks off the beginning of the Warhammer 40k Tournament 2017 season. It has become an absolute destination event put on by top-notch folks.
In this episode, we get to talk about how the tournament scene is changing a little now that Games Workshop and their Community Team are getting more involved. You’ll even be able to purchase Forge World at this event! And as always plenty of advice and guidance is available for newbies to the gaming world, like Gnarly Guides to The Outer Worlds and Minecraft. Don’t be intimidated if you’ve never been to an event like this before, they welcome newcomers with open arms.
I personally thank Reece and his crew for bringing us gaming surfaces that we can spill drinks on… I may have been guilty of this a few times. Check out their mats and other gaming accessories at their webstore. You can also look on sites like 25pc.com to find the best gaming keyboard under 100, and get yourself kitted out.
We get into the ‘reasons’ the tournament scene is so important to us and the challenges that face it moving forward. It is sort of hard to engage people for live video streaming and the like for a game like ours, but there almost no better game to place face to face.

FTN Episode 170 – Aint No Party Like a Warzone Party
Nov 18, 2016
Warzone: Atlanta is behind us and now it’s time to look towards next year. You can catch the streams over on Twitch: FTN Twitch Stream.
Hey all,
Two Finishing Moves segments in this episode! We start the show with a Finishing Moves segment about script and scroll work on miniatures. It is no where near as hard as it looks. Please let us know if you try it. The first time may be a little crazy looking but it just takes practice. If there are any finishing moves that you would like to hear about please let us know.
In part of the WZ: ATL recap we talk a bit about what made the event so successful. It is in no small part due to our sponsors. We will continue to talk about them and how that these sorts of things would not be possible and would not be as fun as they are – without the sponsors. Please check out Sabol Designs and their Army Transports – the original army storage solutions. I personally use these bags as well.
After the success of our event we’ve gotten a lot of questions and attention about the format. If you are curious and haven’t checked it out yet please have a look in the Resource section of the Warzone: Atlanta website.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Gamemat.eu. Their Industrial Terrain set is great and they offer a product that is pre-painted. This, combined with their mats, is a great way to get playing with professional looking game boards fast.
The second Finishing Moves segment is all about painting for points. A lot of the good tournament painting rubrics are objective in their scoring. Meaning that they are not just ‘in the eye of the beholder’ to make sure you get all the points you can. Painting points are some of the only points at an event that you can completely control. We give a bit of advice on how to walk down the checklist of the events you plan to attend.

FTN Bonus Episode 14 – An Interview with Graham McNeill!
Nov 16, 2016
Check out this special Bonus Episode of Forge The Narrative – We have the honor of sitting down with the legendary and prolific Graham McNeill.
Hey Everyone,
Graham was nice enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to speak with us. He talks candidly about his early work on the Horus Heresy series and the top secret design meetings for the project. I wasn’t able to pry any secrets about Magnus the Red out of him, but you’re still going to want to listen.
Graham is able to share some wonderful insight into some of his characters and his general approach to writing fantasy and sci-fi. He has an impressive list of credits to his name and we get to touch on most of them in this interview.
I even get to fanboy out a little and let him know his book Mechanicum was the final push I needed to started an Ad-mech army of my own.
By the end of this show you might find yourself empathizing with the ‘bad guys’ in the Horus Heresy series – if you didn’t already! The characters in these series are some of the best around.
We finish up the show talking about Graham’s current favorite character from his writings, but you’re gonna have to listen to find out who that is.

FTN Episode 169 – Guns on the Front or Back? How Do You Do Your Land Raider?
Nov 10, 2016
Warzone: Atlanta is Nov 11th-13th here! We will be streaming live starting on Friday evening for the Horus Heresy Combat Patrol event. Here is a link to the FTN Twitch Stream
Hey Everyone,
We deal with the least favorite subject of anyone who owns an airbrush in this episode – Cleaning… We have some different opinions on how often this is required but we all agree it has to be done. Except Andrew…
I finally received my November White Dwarf magazine and it continues to impress me. They are very informative and entertaining. There is SO MUCH in them that it is almost impossible to digest on the first read through. They are perfect for for the coffee table or reading room. If you are not already a subscriber, I certainly understand… The old White Dwarfs were basically just catalogues and the incarnation before these didn’t pack enough punch for the buck. These… These are a real honest to goodness magazine worth the time and the money.
There is no break in this show… We are basically jamming all the way through because Paul is nose down in final Warzone: Atlanta prep. I apologize in advance for the rush job on the edit but I hope you still find the episode enjoyable.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Gamemat.eu. Their Industrial Terrain set is great and they offer a product that is pre-painted. This, combined with their mats, is a great way to get playing with professional looking game boards fast.
But… There is no finishing moves in this episode! I regret to say that, but it will back in a double sized episode next week where we will be back to our normal routine.

FTN Episode 168 – The Top 5 Paints You Need on Your Workbench
Nov 04, 2016
Warzone: Atlanta is Nov 11th-13th. We talk a little about this sold out capacity event. Then we can’t help but gush over the 40k rules for the Sisters of Silence and Custodes before finishing up with the hobby segment.
Yo,
The first few minutes we talk about our event Warzone: Atlanta. It was great last year and we’re gonna do our best to make it great this year as well. We have two Friday night events (which tickets are still available for) and a two day 40k Grand Tournament on Saturday and Sunday
We give a mission run down on the Horus Heresy 30k Combat Patrol Event. Three quick and easy to learn missions all themed around the first large scale betrayal at Istvaan 3.
After the break we get a little day dreamy about the new Sisters of Silence and the Custodes. These guys are everything the Paladins used to be at the end of 5th edition. I know I’ll be painting up at least 10 of these guys.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Gamemat.eu. Their Industrial Terrain set is great and they offer a product that is pre-painted. This, combined with their mats, is a great way to get playing with professional looking game boards fast.
The Finishing Moves segment is about Flames and Smoke. Its interesting because you pretty much paint these effects the opposite of what you would do for lenses and gems. We go over a few techniques and then promise to list the top 5 paints you always want to have around.
Agrax Earthshade and Nuln Oil – I am listing these together because they basically produce the same effect depending on the color you want. A runner up here is Secret Weapon’s Soft Body Black. I use this when I need to be super careful where the shade goes.
Nihilakh Oxide – this was sort of a sleeper hit. It has tons of uses, don’t be afraid to get experimental with it.
Ceramite White – All GW white paints are good but sometimes you want to make sure it goes on white in one coat. A good runner up here is Vallejo Air White. It brushes on as well as it feeds through the airbrush
Leadbelcher – it is a catch all dark silver metallic color. I know this isn’t much of a ‘tip’ but you’ll use it on almost every model
Steel Legion Drab – I use this for all my bases. It sounds like a real boring color but it goes with almost anything. It looks great with almost any stick on tufts or lighter drybrush colors to really give your bases some eye-catching looks.

FTN Episode 167 – The Custodes Invade 40k!
Oct 28, 2016
The Burning of Prospero box set is live! It is such a beautiful box set. Rules for 40k and formations dropped today on the official Warhammer 40k Facebook page.
Hey guys,
We chat a bit about the Burning of Prospero. You can find the rules for the 40k use of these crazy awesome models directly from Games Workshop here.
Warzone: Atlanta is just around the corner Nov 11-13th. On this episode we go over the schedule just a little bit and discuss the 30k Combat Patrol event happening Friday night. I am really happy to say how good the prizes for this event and the main event are. I really love giving stuff away. Rules for the 30k Combat Patrol event are over at warzoneatlanta.com.
I really want to give a shout out to the GW community team. These folks have been killing it recently like leaps and bounds more than we have seen or expected from Games Workshop in YEARS! I think they have some great people on staff who genuinely care about us customers and gamers. It is a breath of fresh air. I’m talking about everything from feeding us great content on their social media, quick turn around of rules queries and even their own ‘spoilers.’ Keep up the good work guys.. pip pip or whatever you folks say in the UK
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Gamemat.eu. Their Industrial Terrain set is great and they offer a product that is pre-painted. This, combined with their mats, is a great way to get playing with professional looking game boards fast.
The Finishing Moves segment is all about lenses and lights this time. We have Adam talk a bit about his techniques and the rest of us share some more ‘low tech’ solutions to this common problem.

FTN Episode 166 – Sons of the Forge Interview with Nick Kyme
Oct 20, 2016
Do we go backwards before we go forward? This past weekend we ran a new and returning player tournament with a few army list restrictions. If the tournament scene is lagging in your area (and that’s not what we are really seeing around the country) then maybe tailoring your event is what you need to do. We also have NICK KYME in this episode!!!!!oneone
Yo yo,
We talk a lot about the people you meet at tournaments and the overall spirit of community you encounter when you go to local events or travel along the national circuit. In this hobby, to me, this is one of the most enjoyable elements.
I love tearing people’s heads off on the table, be sure… But the friendships you forge over the years are great. It is really cool running into the same people a few times out of the year pushing toys around the table.
The middle segment, staring around 32 minutes in I have the pleasure of speaking again to Nick Kyme. He gives a little bit of behind the scenes talk about his new book Sons of the Forge. His take on the concept of a Space Marine is pretty fresh and I think you’ll enjoy it. If you were ever curious about Vulkan’s artifacts you do not want to miss this!
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Gamemat.eu. Their Industrial Terrain set is great and they offer a product that is pre-painted. This, combined with their mats, is a great way to get playing with professional looking game boards fast.
In this hobby segment we talk about ways to make your unit leader, champion, best bug, tallest pygmy or whatever stand out. This is something a lot of tournaments give points for on their painting checklist. There are some easy ways to scoop these points up.

FTN Episode 165 – What is your favorite GW boxed game?
Oct 14, 2016
Blood Bowl is back and from the reports we’ve heard about it is going to get a lot of support from GW. I have no idea why a game about American Football created by Brits is so good… but it is!
Hey guys,
The first segment we chat a bit about how to save time when putting together and painting your genestealer cult army list by adding in some figures you already have that have synergy with the army. This can be as easy as adding in a few flying Hive Tyrants. Unlike a lot of horde armies the GSC pack a pretty good punch. You aren’t looking to rely just on your number of bodies.
We are also pretty excited for the new Blood Bowl game. The figures look great. The game design has always been solid. To have this back in plastic and supported is great! GW is really giving us what we’re asking for product wise. I have a few star players that I am anxious to get back on the pitch.
In the second half of the show we get our hands on a listener submitted Ork list. You heard that right, orks.. They lack a lot of the fancy bells and whistles that some of the other armies have but the proposed list has a bit of straight forward design that could possibly give the power lists out there some issues.
The Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Gamemat.eu. Their Industrial Terrain set is great and they offer a product that is pre-painted. This, combined with their mats, is a great way to get playing with professional looking game boards fast.
The hobby segment is all about basing. Before your figure is done you’ve gotta base it. I suggest three different elements on the base to really help the over all look of your figures. This is easier than you think. The GW textured paints are a prefect start but there are plenty of quick out of the box solutions for this. We hope you enjoy the segment!

FTN Episode 164 – Inquisition and Genestealer Cults – A Match Made in Heaven
Oct 09, 2016
We talk about two different army lists today – The Genestealer Cult secret sauce and a very aggressive Blood Angel force.
Yo,
The Genestealer Cult army is incredibly powerful and believe when I say it is going to shift the meta. The established army lists are going to have to make adjustments to stay on top.
This sort of change gives opportunity to all armies. With the ‘top’ lists having to adjust and possibly mess with their overall efficiency to compensate for this new threat.
This new army has a whole host new special rules and tactics that we have never seen before. That means players and opponents are going to be unfamiliar with them. I see a distinct possibility that GSC players are going to be able to completely roll opponents out of nowhere. This is a dex that you are going to want to be familiar with on tournament day. Know your enemy…
We go over a couple of beardy list in this episode. Neither are optimized 100% but it should definitely give you an idea of what to expect to see soon. One list is Genestealers paired with IG and Inquisition (don’t hate me) and the other if a Blood Angel list taking advantage of a formation loophole.
The Finishing Moves segment is all about Squad Markings. Stuff like this is going to become essential as the game evolves. This Finishing Moves segment is sponsored by Raging Heroes. If you are looking for a nice way to spice up your collection or character models please check them out.

FTN – Mindworm Games and Death Ray Designs Vendor Spotlight
Oct 07, 2016
We have a regular show coming soon but in the meantime please check out this special episode where we get to speak with two of the best independent vendors out there.
Yo Everyone,
The first segment Justin Troop and I get to speak with Benson Green from Mindworm Games about his first product, Exiles. The Weird West is here! I am lobbying for giant spiders.
Exiles is a Weird West Skirmish Miniatures Roleplaying Game. This game is, from top to bottom, focused on the player experience. The game is irreverent, nostalgic and a lot of fun. Please check them out. The main character types in the game are taken directly from the old style dime novels and spaghetti westerns. The game is fast paced and easy to learn. Those two things make it a great way to spend a night.
These guys have some amazing sets of laser cut terrain pieces. What I love about this is that there is enough of each theme to fill out a whole table – and it doesn’t break the bank.
We talk about this a bit on the show but one of the coolest things about this terrain is how well it assembles and paints up. It goes well on any sort of gaming mat or a traditional flocked game board. Seriously… check these guys out. These pieces have been designed with gaming and pliability in mind from start to finish.
Please, please check these guys out.

FTN Episode 163 – Are the Cults Better than Eldar?!
Sep 29, 2016
The Genestealer Cults have infiltrated our podcast and we think they are going to have a BIG impact on the tournament scene.
Hey Guys,
Just like you, we were anxious to see what GW had in store for us with a completely new army.
I was a little apprehensive at first thinking it was just going to be a hodge podge of units mashed into a new codex but it isn’t! The Genestealer Cults offers some brand new ways to play with their Return to the Shadows and Cult Ambush rules.
We get right into the thick of it and explain why we think these two rules, combined with a very effective and durable Troop unit, will make an immediate impact on the meta.
For not a lot of points you can have units that bounce on and off of the table – insulating them from taking a ton of casualties, and 17% of the time they can come back on the table and assault.
The assault is quality… A full squad of guys in this Acolyte unit can swing in with 80 RENDING attacks. This is something armies like Tau and Eldar do not want to see. Are these guys finally going to be the balance the game has been waiting for?

FTN Episode 162 – Warzone ATL Preview and the Orbital Intervention Force
Sep 23, 2016
Warzone: Atlanta is coming up quick. In this episode we talk about a couple of our Gold Level sponsors before getting into some Combat Patrol and Blood Angels talk.
Yo,
Warzone: Atlanta is coming up very soon. It is a sold out event (for the main 40k event on Saturday and Sunday) but our two Friday night events still have space available.
Tickets are on sale right now for the X-Wing tournament and the Horus Hersey Combat Patrol event. These tickets are 10 dollars each and if you purchased a VIP ticket then you can use it for either one.
We have great sponsors and the event wouldn’t be the same without them. We highlight Curled Paw Creatives and Vendetta Games in this episode. These guys have contributed a LOT to the prize pool and I hope you check out there sites. Vendetta is a game store in Dahlonegah GA. If you’re driving into WZ, please check them out! It up there in some beautiful country.
Because we can’t not talk about Blood Angels we discuss the virtues of the Orbital Intervention force compared to the Golden Host. In today’s 40k world having that terminator armor and Storm Shield may win out over our boys in Gold.
We leave that for you to decide. The Combat Patrol event at Warzone is getting a ton of interest and just so everyone is prepared we go over a couple of cheesy lists. But don’t let that scare you, the event is going to be laid back and fun – a nice warm up if you haven’t rolled dice in a while.

FTN Episode 161 – The Angel’s Blade is Sharp!
Sep 18, 2016
Our Red Grail runneth over in this episode. You better believe we are all about the Blood Angels and the new Angel’s Blade expansion book.
Hey Guys,
I go ahead and get my apologies out of the way in the first few seconds of the show. Not only is this episode almost completely about Blood Angels but its very possible we didn’t have 100% reliable information during the recording of the show.
I feel like we got most of it dialed in and pinpoint the things that we think are the most powerful with the book. There is some pretty good value here. The formations give people some pretty exciting new ways to units they love.
The Golden Host is the top of the heap here. You get to assault out of deepstrike with some of the hardest jump troops in the game plus the Lord Commander of the Blood Angels himself, Dante! This guy hits like a truck. He’s been a favorite of mine for years and adding this new utility to him is amazing.
Dreadnoughts get some love here too along with Blood Angel Terminators. This is why I say that everyone’s favorite units may be hitting the table soon.
I am not sure where to even start with the Death Company. The D-co got a neat decurion style formation and some pretty powerful relics. The Death Company Chaplain is now an even bigger force multiplier and you get to hear why near the end of the show. Thanks for listening!

FTN Episode 160 – Traitors Gonna Trait and Hollywood Drama In Our Back Yard
Sep 09, 2016
In the first segment of this episodes I sit down with Alec Peters at Dragon Con in Atlanta, GA. Alec has been on the show before so you may be familiar with his fan film Star Trek Axanar. He’s found himself in the middle of a bit of controversy with Paramount Studios and CBS.
Alec is as candid as he can be about the details of what is going on with the litigation and the support he has gotten from several big name Hollywood people. Hearing about this journey and the overwhelming fan support he has gotten is pretty fascinating. I hope you agree. I always enjoy talking with Alec.
Instead of cutting our normal 40k talk short we ramped it up by bringing in one of the best podcasters alive, Carl Tuttle, from the Independent Characters show. He is a big time Chaos fan and helps us talk about the real winners from the latest codex supplement, Traitor’s Hate.
The big winners here are the are the Chaos Warband formation, that makes everything Objective Secured, the Terminator Annihilation Force and the Raptor Talon.
I don’t think anyone expected to be saying that Raptors or Warp Talons would be making it onto the main stage. The ability to drop in quality squads and then assault the same turn is pretty disruptive. The Terminator formation is surprising too. I think it is going to put a big cramp in the side of some Gladius players.

FTN Bonus Episode 13 – David Annandale – The Horror Doctor Is In!
Sep 06, 2016
Check out this special Bonus Episode of Forge The Narrative – Black Library author David Annandale joins us.
Hey Everyone,
Someone said they liked Black Library author content so we pulling out all the stops!
The first half of this show we talk about David’s background and inspiration as a writer. Its pretty fascinating and I hope you guys agree.
David has written for some of the biggest characters in the 40k universe like Typhus, Mephiston, Lemartes, Vulkan, Yarrick and more… Wow. What a roster!
This is a spoiler free episode so if you haven’t read any of the above you’re still in the clear to listen.
It is clear that the Black Library has the best group of writers for any novel/game based property in the business. These guys really embrace the background and the game lore. That equals big time payoffs for us.

FTN Episode 159 – Can Codex Chaos Space Marine Make a Better Gladius?!
Sep 02, 2016
Episode 159 is here! Warhammer 40k podcast where we combine tactics and hobby talk all in the same place.
Hey Everyone,
We totally switch gears from the last few shows and turn our eyes on the Chaos Space Marine codex. We have some rumors about what the supplement Traitor’s Hate is going to be but nothing concrete at the time of the recording.
In place of too much rumor talk we get in to a little wish listing around the middle of the show but during the course of this Andrew proposes that Chaos may be able to make a better Gladius with less wasted taxation units if you’re going with a rhino base build. Eh? What the heck? There may actually be some potential here. Personally I think the loyalist marines still have better base rules (that we talk about on the show) but who knows what Traitor’s Hate will hold?
Chris Morgan took a big step this week and bought his first airbrush. We kick around some ideas about what the best air compressor for beginners is. No matter what you hear on the show I still believe in going pretty cheap on your first one. Hit up Harbor Freight, use a coupon, and use it till it breaks.
The Finishing Moves segment this week is about getting started with drilling out barrels on models. I completely suck at this. I did a model recently and posted it on twitter @warmaster_tpm and someone suggested I drill out the barrels.
I asked how?! People were kind enough to share some ideas and we talk about them. The other guys also kick in their experiences to make a pretty cool segment. Please let us know what you’d like us to cover in this segment. We’re going to try and do it every week.

FTN Bonus Episode 12 – Praetorian of Dorn Behind the Scenes!
Aug 27, 2016
Check out this special Bonus Episode of Forge The Narrative – Black Library Bonanza.
Hey Everyone,
This episode features interviews from John French and Nick Kyme.
The first segment is brand new with John French about his new novel, Praetorian of Dorn. John talks about his inspiration and source material for his first full length Horus Heresy installment. No spoilers here! We also take a deep dive into the minds of Dorn and Perturabo. Are they two sides of the same coin?
We get the smallest glimpse about the backdrop of this epic story taking place inside the boarders of the Emperor’s own turf – the Sol System. See Dorn like you may have never seen him before.
The next segment revisits the interview we did with Nick Kyme a couple of episodes back. If you missed it then here is a perfect opportunity to catch up. Nick talks about his work with the Salamanders and how that legion, and Vulkan, have evolved into what they are today.
The last segment brings up back to John French. We also featured this interview in episode 154. It really makes me glad to see the Horus Heresy in such capable hands of the Black Library authors. These guys really know the game, the lore and how to keep us coming back for more.

FTN Episode 158 – Deathwatch Hit or Miss?
Aug 25, 2016
Episode 158 is here! Total Hobby.. Warhammer 40k podcast where we combine tactics and hobby talk all in the same place.
Yo yo,
The Deathwatch codex is proving to be a little more dynamic than we thought but the jury is still out. Paul thinks they will be regulated to ally status while Andrew thinks there is a huge case to build out a dynamic MSU style army. We close the show with the Finishing Moves segment where we focus on decal work and the different ways to use paint to spruce them up.
This MSU focuses in on the ability to take single model units. So in standard Combined Arms Detatchment you can have an HQ, two troop units and then 3 single man elite squads and 3 single man fast attack squads. Multiply this by the number of CADs you take and the diversity and MSU numbers start to rack up.
These units have the potential to be very diverse and handle lots of different threats on the table while simultaneously being a threat themselves. Single Terminators can get a lot of work done in the back field acting as a mobile heavy weapon platform or just being a disruption element. A single bike with a power weapon could time up a 5 man marine squad a certainly a unit of jet bikes – if he doesn’t die on the overwatch.
Moving to the ally argument – the Dominus Aegis is pretty cool. If the MODEL doesn’t move in the movement phase then your whole unit gains a 4+ invulnerable save until the start of the next movement phase. This doesn’t specific ‘Deathwatch’ unit. It is any unit the character joins. This is a pretty significant reduction in character tax for armies that were already taking Azreal from the Dark Angels.
Overall, I think the codex is a hit. You can technically have a whole army of specialist marines who operate like the kill team game. I can see it being a pretty cinematic experience for folks who like that. In the right missions and at the right point level this book can be powerful. On the show we mention that we can certainly see a path to victory with this book in a 3 round event. The jury is still out on a 5+ round major. What do you think?

FTN Episode 157 – Another Codex Doing it Better than Chaos
Aug 19, 2016
Episode 157 is here and basically on time!! It is nice to be back on track.
Hey everyone,
In the first segment we remind everyone we have some shirts for sale on the website. We also give a quick mention to our friends over at Mindworm games. Their skirmish/rpg style table top game is just about ready to go. The rules are up for free over on their site.
Deathwatch is still on our minds. The unit entries for this give flexibility that we haven’t seen since back in the 3.5 edition Chaos Marine dex. We even sort of compare the Black Shields to an old school CSM champ. You spend a lot of points on him but you expect him to get some work done.
It is interesting to point out that the Black Shield is NOT the unit champ. Before you add anyone else to the unit you still have to characters that can help you manipulate the challenge mechanic to make sure that your BS can wreck face. The two sword configuration looks cool but I think the Hammer is where it’s at.
Taking single model units that can actually make an impact on the game can be annoying for your opponent and this can be done in all the major squads in the book – Vanguard Vets, Terminators, Bike Squads, etc.. Going back to the original point – you can take weapons that actually matter on these dudes too. If you take a formation that allows you to combine all these units into one – they get to share their unit abilities like Split Fire and Fearless.. That doesn’t suck.
I’m hot on the Corvus Blackstar. For 5 points you get to take a piece of wargear that allows you to re-roll cover if you’re jinking. FIVE POINTS?! Have you guys unlocked any super combos yet? I really like being able to take as many Librarians as I want. It seems like these guys will pair very well with Marines, Inquis and other Imperial armies as an ally force.

FTN Episode 156 – Deathwatch, Attack of the Flying Turtles!
Aug 16, 2016
Episode 156 is better late than never!! Thanks for the patience guys. We are back to normal now. Very sorry for the delay.
Hey guys,
This is coming out a little late, we recorded this when the Deathwatch stuff was still a bit of rumor and conjecture. Please forgive us for anything we get wrong. The Finishing Moves hobby segment is in the last 15 minutes.
We talk about a few of the things we find exciting about the new book and a few combos, like dropping frag cannons on people. The book suffers from being an elite army in world full of spammy efficient units.
Is that bad? Not really. These guys are, in my mind, meant to be an ally force and they fit right in with all of the other inquisition style armies out there.
The new transport’s ability to carry bikes is kind of exciting. You can pair this with the ability to hide a terminator in the mix and a jump pack guy in the mix and before you know it you’ve got a unit that can start the game in a ready for take off Storm Turtle (which is a steal dollar wise, btw) and re-rolly your charge roll after you move 12 and get out 6.
Of course everyone in the world can see this coming. It is like the Overhand Right from way downtown but whatever.. These models look cool.

FTN Episode 155 – Nick Kyme in the spotlight!
Aug 05, 2016
We cover EVERYTHING on this show. Special guest, Nick Kyme joins us for an interview and them we discuss the powerful things the new Nid FAQ opened up for them.
Yo,
The first 15 minutes of the show we go over a few upcoming events and talk about the fact that we have some FTN Shirts available for sale over at www.forgethenarrative.net on the FTN Merch Page.
Paul gets a chance to speak with Nick Kyme from the Black Library. We talk about all things Salamanders and also get a chance to talk a little bit about the inspiration behind his stories.
Nick is a great guy and I’m glad I got to sit down with him for a few minutes on my trip to Warhammer World.
After that we get our hands on the new Tyranid FAQ. Its a short read but it opens up a couple of very powerful and potentially game winning things the big bugs can do. Please let us know how you guys implement or fight against this new stuff.
In this episode’s Finishing Moves segment we briefly tackle glow effect or Object Source Lighting. We cover, the best we can in audio, some quick and painless methods for achieving this effect.

FTN Episode 154 – Interview with John French and Serious Warhams
Jul 29, 2016
We cover EVERYTHING on this show. Special guest, John French, sits down for a chat then we move on to tournament tactics and painting talks.
Yo,
When I say we cover everything in this show I mean it. Paul and John French, from the Black Library, talk during the first part of the show. He talks about his own armies and his experience writing about some of the most legendary figures of all time.
Several of us just returned from the ATC in Tennessee, USA. With that many people and all those different lists represented it is hard not to come away with inspiration for new tech and new army ideas.
We are happy to report that a lot of our list ideas ‘worked’ and we share a few elements during the tactics/tournament section. Please let us know if you end up trying any of these out.
It is very difficult to make talk about painting seem exciting but we’re trying something new on this show that I think I’ll call ‘Finishing Moves.’ We talk about the anxiety that some people feel before they start to weather an otherwise finished model.
We get somewhat explicit about a few of our techniques for this and the painters on the show approach the concept a little differently. I start the topic with the idea that I decided to weather a model after it was mostly complete.

Tune in for a very special bonus episode with the legendary Jervis Johnson speaking about Stormcloud Attack and the Generals Handbook. You don’t want to miss this!
Hey Guys,
I got to speak to the man himself about two of the latest offerings from Games Workshop – Stormcloud Attack and the General’s Handbook for Age of Sigmar.
Jervis talks very candidly about these two game systems and what they offer to players.
While these games are worlds apart (literally) they give gamers and hobbyist new ways to get figures into action. It is amazing to see this level of support for all of the different ways to play and use the models on the table top.
My impressions from this conversation is that there is a huge push from GW to fully support all modes of suggested play for their games. You want to play casual – they will make content for you. You want to play competitively – they will make content for you. You want to create cinema like battles and campaigns – they will make content for you.
Hopefully we see more of this stuff in the future. The company is showing an unprecedented level of community involvement and it really does my heart glad to see it. I hope you enjoy the conversation I had with Jervis. He is an incredibly nice person and I was ecstatic to get the opportunity to sit down with him for a few minutes.

FTN Episode 153 – Will Sigmar Lead the Way for 40k?
Jul 21, 2016
Episode 153 is here, download it now! Tournament and Hobby talk all in the same place. Say it ain’t so!
Yo yo,
The more I look at the Order Battletome Sylvaneth I see it screaming at me as a future template for 40k codexes.
Everything about this book attempts to embrace the concept of using the army how you want to do it. Want to pick your warlord trait?? Go ahead. Want to leave your spells up to the dice gods? Roll away.. Or pick.. Up to you.
I really like that. Personally, I think random rolls can be good and create exciting games. But the more competitive we try to be the more that random rolls cause me to pull my hair out. Its a pretty big double edge sword.
I am not going to claim that one way is better than another but I think it is absolutely great that Games Workshop has figured out a way to appeal to multiple sects of gamers all in one book. If this tactic is successful it stands to reason we’d see something similar in 40k.
We have a lot of excitement for the ATC event happening in Tennessee this weekend too. It is hard to hide and we do quite a bit of talking about it in every segment. Good luck to everyone attending and we hope to see you there!

FTN Episode 152 – How Can You Win At the ATC?!
Jul 14, 2016
Episode 152 is here, download it now! Tournament and Hobby talk all in the same place. Say it ain’t so!
Heya,
I open the show this week talking to Dave Taylor from the Nova OpenCharitable Foundation. The talk lasts about 26 minutes. Hope you enjoy it!
Dave has been in the hobby for a LONG time and is one of the best painters, converters and all around good guys in the business. In this interview we mostly talk about the current charity offerings. You can find them here. Tickets are only a buck or two and go to a good cause.
You can buy tickets from anywhere and if you’re lucky enough to win, you can have it sent anywhere too!
The second half of the show is just me and ole PuppyPants, Andrew. We had a tech issue this week and had to audible to record in the middle of the day..
We go over a few gems we rediscovered in Imperial Armor 13 and then spend some time talking about the Warhammer 40k ATC event missions. Its hard to make a one size fits all recommendation for things like this but we go over a few things that we think any winning general is going to want to know.

Yo guys,
Finally…. We are back. I apologize for the gap in episodes as I was traveling for the last couple of weeks. I was able to hit Warhammer World and it was AWESOME.
The first part of the show we talk a little bit about my trip and then gush over the beautiful Sylvaneth models. Age of Sigmar is really coming into its own with the upcoming release of the General’s Handbook and I’m excited.
The second part of the show we are joined by the venerable Gav Thorpe. He talks with Chris and I about his upcoming book and his storied time with Games Workshop starting from the early 90s.
It is really nice to be back and it and to be able to lead off with Gav is great.

FTN Episode 150 – Do You Even Dreadnought?
Jun 16, 2016
Episode 150 is here, download it now! Tournament and Hobby talk all in the same place. Say it ain’t so!
Hey guys,
We get to the first break early in this show so I can talk to the amazing Frank Turner. He came though Atlanta and gave me the opportunity to talk to him backstage at the Tabernacle theater down town. This interview part has almost nothing to do with 40k, but totally worth the listen. Since we’re on episode 150 I thought it would be cool to mix it up a bit with a music talk.
If you are not already familiar with his music please check it out and if you can make it to one of his shows.. even better. This dude is absolutely brilliant.
After the interview with Frank we get right back into the 40k talk discussing the hopeful feelings we have for all Dreadnoughts in the near future. These things are just too cool to keep sitting on the shelves.
GW hit us again this week with the Spaces Wolves FAQ. Poor old Logan Grimnar.. Once a staple of he table its possible that we may never see him again.
Please give the show a listen and let us know what you think. Thank you.

FTN Episode 149 – The Marine FAQ Strikes Back
Jun 10, 2016
Episode 149 is here, download it now! Tournament and Hobby talk all in the same place. Say it ain’t so!
Yo,
You know my Imperium Strikes Back hard. The Super Friends are dead.. long live the Super Friends.
GW isn’t pulling any punches with their FAQ release schedule and it is great. Very few of us expected an FAQ release for a major codex so soon but we’ve got and there are some major changes.
The statement, or implication, that the Chapter Rules for Blood Angels, Dark Angels, Space Wolves, and Grey Knights cause a conflict with Space Marine Chapter Tactics is something I think we all knew should be the case but not how it was commonly excepted for play. The FAQ changes that under no uncertain terms. Is that what the game needs? I don’t know.
The Imperial Codex Soup is a bit too liberal when compared to other factions so maybe reigning it in a bit is a good thing. I know a lot of people are tired of seeing chapter masters, Samael and Iron Priest hanging out together. We argue a bit about the true effect of this change on the show and run down a few other stand out points.
Drop Pods… Sort of like magnets now, they are a total mystery. How do they work? I am not sure anyone knows. The closest we came to figuring it out is that they must be fired with the doors wide open from orbit to then fling the marines a solid 11 inches out of their harnesses creating 22 inch or more objective secure bubble. Whao… Is this the intent or is this just a case of Rules as Written and True Line of Sight and worrying about the actual model’s physical profile creating a perfect storm of biting us in the behind?!

FTN Episode 147 – Is Games Workshop Giving Us 40k 7.5 For Free?
May 27, 2016
Episode 147 is here, download it now! Tournament and Hobby talk all in the same place. Say it ain’t so!
Yo Guys,
We have some very special guests this week from Frontline Gaming. Reece and Frankie get down and dirty with us to go over a few contentious points in the new GW draft FAQ. These guys are some of the best in the scene and we really appreciate them taking some time out to come on our show.
Personally I think this FAQ is draft in name only and that, to me, it is very clear that GW intends to change a few things about the game that will RADICALLY alter how certain armies play. This FAQ changes enough about the game that it is almost a whole new edition. Warhammer 40k 7.5, maybe?. Is that a real thing? No… but it feels like it, without having to go through a full on edition change and we’re getting these game enhancements for free, sort of..
That’s a good thing. The content GW has been putting out is freaking amazing. This is a real renaissance for the company and us as gamers/customers. The GW FAQ is awesome and it directly points to Games Workshop wanting to have an open dialogue and relationship with their customer base again. As a long time fan this makes me incredibly happy. The points we are critical about in the show are just that… points we thought needed more discussion. GW, through their Facebook page, is currently soliciting the community’s feedback and we thought discussing things like this on the show may help frame some of those feedback exchanges in a positive way.
Also! The Frontline folks dropped some amazing Warmarchine information on us during the show. The are now making officially licensed mats for Warmahordes. We give a little good natured ribbing to Warmachine during the discussion but this announcement is GREAT! Please check out a few of the new designs below.
This episode is jam packed… so packed its almost 30 mins longer than I regular shows. We take a few minutes during the middle to speak with the organizers from Battle Haven – a gaming retreat in scenic Utah.

Hey all,
If you like flyers you are going to like this episode. Speed is life, altitude is life insurance and the probability of survival is equal to the angle of arrival.
Flyers have been marginalized, competitively, for quite some time and the new Death from the Skies Warhammer 40k Supplement changes that – in a big way. The best part about this book is that it is good for every army.
I’m not just blowing smoke. Flyers now have a special rule that can give your force Air Superiority. This rule can give you a big leg up against armies that “Null Deploy” or otherwise rely on reserves to help them win the game.

Hey guys,
The draft FAQ from GW is huge, comprehensive and nothing short of amazing. It is clear that the intent of this document is to put the breaks on a lot of the things that have been ‘plaguing’ the competitive scene.
We give some initial impressions on the new Death from the Skies book but at this point it is just surface level stuff from us. We are sort of waiting to see what some of the major events around the country are looking to do with it before we weigh in.

Yo,
We talk a lot about restrictions on tournaments in this episode. I know that is a sticky topic, and I am all for no holds barred play but… I also believe in tournament organizers doing what is right for their local scene.
We’ve talked before about type 1, type 2 and type 3 play. We talk a little bit about what Type 1 might look like in this episode.
Battle Forged Armies Only
No Gargantuan Creatures
0-1 Imperial Knight
No Other Super Heavy Vehicles
No Formations that give free upgrades/wargear
Your Primary Detachment must have at least 2 Troop choices
Psychic Phase!!!!1111oneone:
Psykers can contribute no more than 11 Warp Charge Dice per phase (no matter how many are in your army). Your army can have more psykers but the WC they generate is capped.

Please let us know if you’ve experienced anything like we talk about here and how you’ve gotten over it. The audio gets a little wonky in the second half. Its not bad at all but I apologize in advance.

FTN Episode 139 – Target Priority Part Deux and Extreme Geekery!
Mar 26, 2016
Episode 139 is here, download it now! Tournament and Hobby talk all in the same place. Say it ain’t so!
Hey Hey,
The target priority question was too big to cover in one show so we came back to it in this episode. It’s fun to get back to the roots about how we approach the game. Please let us know your thoughts on the subject as well.
We get super geeky in this episode talking a little bit about movies and board games. We sort of pine away about GW boxed games from the past and hope that we see them pop up in the future with modern technology.
What do you think?

Yo Guys,
We got asked a great question through email on the contact us page on www.forgethenarrative.net. We were asked ‘How do I determine target priority when facing an unknown foe..’ The discussion wasn’t as easy as it sounds.
After the break we talk about some of the hobby stuff we’ve been working on and start to ponder on how GW returning to the organized play scene may effect things.

Episode 120 is here, download it now! Tournament and Hobby talk all in the same place. Say it ain’t so! Hey guys,
We get down and dirty with the new Tau super rule: Coordinated Firepower. It is going to turn a lot of smiles upside down. After the break we do a little bit of a Betrayal at Calth pre-release segment where we discuss some of the best ways to use the game figures.
Each episode will be about an hour long. This ideally gives you something neat to listen to on your way to work, or on the way back home. Maybe you can even listen while you are painting or modeling!

FTN mostly focuses on 40k, but again you will see in the first few episodes we take a severe deep dive into nerdom. These have been a blast to record and I hope they help pass the time for you.
