It's a new era for the show, and that means it's a good time to talk about getting started! In this episode, Rob and Kevin discuss getting started in the Warhammer 40,000 hobby.

Episode 337: Catching Up with 40K Updates

Episode 337

Sunday, October 26, 2025 • Duration 01:47:25

There’s been a lot of new releases and announcements since our look at characters, so it’s time to catch up with the updates! First off, we’ve got a big announcement for the podcast that should be a sign of great things to come. Then, we dive into the seven new holiday battleforces announced, and examine which are good buys and which will probably sit on shelves. After that, a look at the various Space Marine characters released, including the latest version of Marneus Calgar. Finally, we look at the new Faction Pack releases and see what GW has done right with this digital initiative, and what they could improve upon.

Episode 328: 10th Edition Chaos Knights

Episode 328

Monday, June 16, 2025 • Duration 01:46:57

The Year of Chaos continues, and this installment stomps in with giant robotic feet! In this episode, we take a look at the new Chaos Knights codex. In the past, we’ve been pretty firm that Knights aren’t the most fun army to play against, and Chaos Knights in particular have been pretty one-note with the “Oops, All War-Dogs” build. Does this new codex address these issues? Are the big spiky knights making a comeback? Are the War Dog players left in the cold? And how will it feel to play against this army of evil metal giants? Listen to find out!

Episode 238: Ninth Edition Adeptus Mechanicus

Episode 238

Thursday, June 3, 2021 • Duration 03:23:05

After a brief hiatus, codexes for Ninth Edition are once again being released, and the followers of the Omnissiah are up next! We say the proper prayers to the machine spirits, apply holy unguents to our microphones, and discuss the latest iteration of the forces of the forge worlds. How has this army been updated for the latest edition? Is the new Skitarii character worth running? Where does the book fall on the complexity scale? How many archeopters does it take to equal a drop pod? We dig into all this and more as we look over the book. Also, news and new releases, your listener mail, hobby progress, and a Morale Phase 14 years in the making!

Episode 327: Midwest Conquest 2025

Episode 327

Monday, June 9, 2025 • Duration 01:32:09

Another year, and another Midwest Conquest is in the books! Like last year, Kevin and Dennis ran the Narrative event, and this time it’s bigger than before. Escalating game sizes, heroic and villainous tracks, assist characters – listen to find out how they ran the event, and what Rob’s experience was like playing in it. Also, we discuss the winners of the 40K GT, the painting competition, the results of the army raffle, and our Friday Preferred Enemies host games!

Episode 326: 10th Edition Space Wolves

Episode 326

Saturday, May 24, 2025 • Duration 01:59:24

The release schedule is fast and furious now, just like the army we’re looking at today! In this episode, we dive into the new Space Wolves codex supplement. The viking-themed fighters from Fenris return, and we take a look at how well they’ve managed the conversion from index to codex. Did they finally get sagas right? Are the new Space Wolf terminators worthy of the tabletop? Are Wulfen swinging for the fences again? And how much difference does a chapter keyword make? We discuss this and more! Also, a look at the new Chapter Approved mission deck, with its anticipated Asymmetric missions and Challenger cards. Thank you to Games Workshop for providing us a preview copy of the new book and mission deck!

Episode 325: 10th Edition Thousand Sons

Episode 325

Saturday, May 17, 2025 • Duration 02:14:48

Just as planned, the last of the four god-specific legions has made their appearance! In this episode, we delve into the new 10th edition codex for the Thousand Sons, the masters of chaotic magic. In an edition where psychic powers aren’t really a thing, how has Games Workshop made a psychic army function? How will the new version of Cabal of Sorcerers change things up for Thousand Sons players? Are Sekhetar Robots the new hotness, or an odd add-on? How do daemons play in the new book? And which detachments do we see having the most potential? And did Magnus, in fact, do anything wrong? Listen to find out! Thank you to Games Workshop for providing us preview copies of the new book and battleforce!

Episode 324: 10th Edition Death Guard and World Eaters

Episode 324

Saturday, April 26, 2025 • Duration 03:15:01

The Year of Chaos is now in full swing, with not one, but two Chaos codexes dropping simultaneously! In this episode, we dive into the new Death Guard and World Eaters codexes. In part one, it’s Nurgle time, as we pick through plagues with the Death Guard. Has their contagion-based army rule changed? Are they finally tough enough to justify their bloat? And how many poxwalkers is actually enough? Then, in part two, it’s time for skulls and blood with the World Eaters. Can you still win at the casino of Khorne? Is the return of Khorne Daemonkin all that Kevin was waiting for? And what’s the most useless unit in the World Eaters codex? Strap yourselves in as we tackle a double-codex review! Thanks to GW for providing review copies of the new codexes and accompanying battleforces!

Episode 323: The Adepticon 2025 Previews

Episode 323

Monday, April 14, 2025 • Duration 01:32:19

Adepticon has come and gone, and it brought a new set of Warhammer previews! Games Workshop gave us a little bit of everything, from an army for the Old World never before seen on the tabletop, to a new pair of Kill Teams duking it out, to several 40K army updates, to a brand new Crusade book! We dig into the reveals, and give our thoughts – what’s the thing that got us most excited, and what’s the most polished turd of the bunch? Also, a head’s up – we start off with an unhappy but necessary discussion of the new tariffs and what impact that might have on our hobbies and the places we buy them from. We’re not going to let that dampen our excitement for what’s coming, though! (Tariffs talk is between 1:58 and 18:50, for those of you who’d like to skip it.)

Episode 322: The Spring 2025 Balance Update and Other Goodies

Episode 322

Monday, March 31, 2025 • Duration 02:02:24

It’s a new quarter, and that means a new set of balance updates – but that’s not all! In this episode, we discuss several changes and new options that GW has delivered. We start off discussing the new Aspects of War series in White Dwarf and the first installment’s stratagem replacements. Next, we dive into the new Balance Dataslate and look at the changes and corrections that various factions are getting to bump them up or bring them down a bit. Finally, we look at the first batch of quarterly detachment releases, with new options for Adeptus Custodes, T’au, and the Orks!
