Episode 251: Much Ado About Previews! Jan 09, 2022

Show notes

It’s a new year, and the previews for what’s coming up keep rolling in. From the new Aeldari/Chaos battle box, to the sheer insanity of the new Tau railgun, to a shot-by-shot analysis of the latest 2022 preview video, we take a look at everything that GW has shown is coming up in the next few months. What’re our feelings on everything? Are we curious? Intrigued? Concerned? Terrified? Or maybe a bit of everything? Also, (other) news and new releases, your listener mail, our hobby progress, and the Morale Phase!

Episode 250: Holiday Mailbag 2021 Dec 22, 2021

Show notes

The holidays are upon us, and while time is short, we can still find the time to answer your listener mail! In this episode, we address some criticisms of letters from episode 249, as well as answer a question or two about ourselves! Come for our ignorance of Age of Sigmar, stay for a deep dive into international tax rates – it’s actually more interesting than you might think! Also, news and new releases, a look at the final results of the US Open, and a quick-and-dirty Morale Phase covering a number of winter watching options!

Episode 249: The US Open Austin Dec 09, 2021

Show notes

GW’s wargaming roadshow has been in three cities – Orlando, New Orleans, and Austin. So, what was this event like? What differentiated it from other Warhammer 40K tournaments? Fortunately, we don’t have to wonder – we had eyes on the ground! Dennis was lucky enough to attend the US Open Austin, so he gives us a full report on what it was like playing in one of these official Games Workshop events. Was it good? Bad? Weird? Did the terrain work? Did the balance datasheet change things up? Can Tyranids actually compete now? We discuss all this when he gives us his rundown. Also, news, new releases, your listener mail, hobby progress, and the Morale Phase!

Episode 248: Emergency Balance Dataslate Episode! Nov 11, 2021

Show notes

What’s got us recording an episode just 3 days after the last one dropped? Games Workshop releasing a surprise re-balancing document! With just days to go until the Austin Open (and the Renegade Open), the 40K rules team has released the first in a promised quarterly system of balance adjustments to the game, both to tone down the runaway armies at the top of the heap and to bring up the ones that have been struggling in the current environment. Army building changes, points changes, major faction rules changes – there’s a lot to discuss in this small 3-page document! We even look at what wasn’t changed and our thinking on why. Is this a brand new day for 40K?

Episode 247: Ninth Edition Black Templars Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

The Black Templars are on the march! In this episode, we look at the new Black Templars codex supplement. With their named characters all crossing the Rubicon Primaris, the introduction of Primaris Crusaders, and the return of the Black Templar vow system, how do these extremely pious, extremely angry marines stack up? Can they bring the pain in the Emperor’s name? We discuss that, along with our normal segments – news and new releases, your listener mail, hobby progress, and an extra-long horror-themed Morale Phase!

Episode 246: The State of the Game, Fall 2021 Oct 17, 2021

Show notes

We’re all together again, Kevin and Rob just got in a game, and Dennis is fresh off his return to competitive 40K events, so it’s time to look at how things are looking in the 40K game space! A year and change into 9th edition, and with large competitive events really coming back into full swing, how are things looking in the 9th edition landscape? Have problem armies been reined in? Are armies with old codexes holding their own? What are the best-crafted codexes? How has the new mission structure shaped how we play the game? We take a look at all this and more. Also, news and new releases, your listener mail, hobby progress, and a Morale Phase that may leave you seeing visions…

Show notes

The psychic shenanigans continue ninefold! In this episode, we take a look at the new Thousand Sons codex. Did Magnus really do nothing wrong? Did Ahriman just have the best of intentions? And what’s changed for everyone’s favorite blue-and-gold dusty boys? In addition, Dennis gets a brief interview with Jason Horn, organizer of the Iron Halo GT during their final event! Also, as always, news, new releases, your listener mail, and a Morale Phase that might have you seeing green.

Episode 244: Ninth Edition Grey Knights Sep 15, 2021

Show notes

We’re back, and that’s good, because it’s time for another codex overview! This time, we’re looking at the Grey Knights. These daemon-slayers have received their 9th edition update; how did they fare? Are they catching up with the rest of the pack now that they’ve had their stat lines and weapons updated? Are they finally unshackled from only having mini-Smite? Is there a reason to take nemesis weapons that aren’t falchions now? And how does their combat patrol stack up? We dig into all this and more as we take a look at the new book for the knights of Titan. Also, news and new releases, your listener mail, hobby progress, and we manage to shuffle in a Morale Phase too!

Episode 243: Special Moving Edition! Aug 21, 2021

Show notes

Rob is just about ready to move, and that means he’s too packed up to prep for and edit a long episode – but we didn’t want to leave you hanging for another week. We don’t have a particular topic for this episode, but we went ahead and did a show with all our other content – news and new releases, including a conversation on the submarining controversy in competitive 40K, your listener mail, hobby progress, and the Morale Phase! We’ll be back in two weeks!

Episode 242: Ninth Edition Orks Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

What’s that coming over the horizon with a mighty Waaaagh!? It’s the new Ork codex, currently only available through the new Beast Snaggas box. Fortunately, Richard was lucky enough to nab one, and so we’re taking a look through the book! What’s new in the world of mean, green, and ugly? We talk about the big changes from the 8th edition codex, as well as the new units that have arrived on squig-back. Is there now a meaner Ork than Ghazghkull now? Have Orks traded killiness for toughness? Can they still bring the dakka? We take a look! Also, news and new releases, your listener mail, hobby progress, and an Ordo Malleus-approved Morale Phase!
