| Episode 46: A couple of Rogues, Trading stories | 03 mai 2026 | 00:50:24 | |
In this episode Jeff Cope and I talk about the need to screen - which we're sure will still be a thing in 11th. At the moment, with Space Marines able to launch themselves across a table turn 1, and defilers everywhere and fast melee armies causing us issues, I wanted to ask Jeff about how best to use allies. There's probably no IK player who's used them more in 10th than this man. In the process he opened up another way to play Freeblade Company that I don't think I've heard anywhere else. And that got me excited about going back to the future with my old index list! Make sure you check out our patreon and discord. If you're not already a member of the discord - join up - it's free!
