Champions of 40k is a podcast that celebrates the people who make our hobby great. 

In this episode I speak with one of New Zealanbd's greatest exports - David Gaylard. He's the Karl Urban of 40k, the Peter Jackson of the hobby, the Jonah Lomu of Warhammer! Those are all names of other New Zealanders who are very good at what they do. 

We speak a bit about New Zealand (naturally), a lot about what it takes to get very good at 40k, a bit about TTS, and quite a lot about lots of other stuff.

Innes, Anthony, and Jeremy are here to talk about their feelings on the latest MFM update. Hot takes, cold takes, and some statistical skullduggery are all included!

Champions of 40k is a podcast that celebrates the people who make our hobby great. 

In this episode I speak with Anthony Vanella - a man who grew up in the heart of suburbia, learned to fight, turned fighting into his living, and has now morphed that into a career as one of the best 40k players in the world. 

He is vice-captain of the US WTC team, he's a coach at Art of War, and he's a specialist in the aggressive play style which has become his trademark. We talk a LOT about all of that.

What is true love? And is there such a thing as love at first sight? These don't sound like very Warhammer questions - but they can be. 

In this episode Steve Joll and Jake Harding talk about his journey in 40k, and also finding that army that you completely fall for. Each of us gets to that place of loving a faction in a different way. This is, partly, the story of how Jake found Votann.

This week we have special guest (and Stat Check network member) Steve Joll, host of the podcast Champions of 40k and of the Breeze Wellington 94.1FM/98.5FM. Steve is here to talk about bringing back Champions of 40k, why he chose to join the Stat Check network, and why you start with the troops in an army when painting a new scheme.

Steve Joll gets to know the people who champion all aspects of our awesome hobby - Warhammer 40,000. 

In this episode, Seth the Mad Dok Oster explains his nickname, tells us how he got his start in content creation, and what led him to the seat that used to be occupied by the OG of 40k podcasting, Reece Robbins. We also discuss what happens when you fall out of love with your main army (Steve needs help). 

Oh, and we talk about Orks. Painting orks, playing orks, painting orks, collecting orks, painting orks. Did I mention painting orks? 

You can find Seth, Kicker and Nick's new youtube channel here. Give them a sub! 

The podcast is still on the Frontline Gaming Network channel - which is in all the usual places. The Spotify link, for example, is here.

All's well in the meta - or is it? The team discuss their events, take questions from you the listener, and address some of the hot button issues of competitive 40k this week.

Innes learns how timezones work and rejoins Anthony and Nathan to discuss the week in warhammer. Innes and Anthony regale us with their tales from the Eurotrash Cup this past weekend in Amersfoort - sounds made up.

Icing may or may not have occurred at this even - listen for more!

The hobby of 40k has introduced me to some of the nicest people I've ever met anywhere. One of those people is Stig from Tabletop Tactics. He was an early supporter of my podcasts, and is always one of the first to like or share the nonsense I post to instagram. 

In this episode the man - who didn't earn his Ad Mech sounding nickname the way you think he did - talks to me about life before 40k, when a career as a rock n roll drummer beckoned, whether he gets recognised as a celebrity while out and about, how he fell into the famous job, and what it's really like working with Lawrence and co at Tabletop Tactics. 

And, of course, why they call him Stig. 

I hope you enjoy the episode - it's been a long time coming!

Welcome to the jungle, baby! It's time for the first episode of the newest show on StatCheck. Tune in to hear from Lukas Troller, Nic Ohlsen-Johnson, Tyler Bortel, and special guest Tanner Herbert to hear about their runs at the Gongaii GT in Forrest Grove, Oregon.

Oh and we also talk about the new meta and the very small amount of data around it!

The Q1 2024 Balance Dataslate is here for Warhammer 40,000 and the team is here to discuss the changes! Innes, Anthony, and Nathan break down the key changes and what it means for the meta, the armies they play, and what could have been done better.

In this episode, the team discusses the recent LVO 2024 40k Championship, playing by intent, and what makes for good judging. They also discuss their wishlist for the upcoming balance dataslate, and Jeremy talks a little bit about the UTC finals.

(Apologies from Jeremy - wasn't feeling well - maybe we'll talk about UTC another day)

Necrons hit the meta in full force, winning multiple GT's and a Super Major this past weekend. Anthony, Innes, and Nathan discuss the happenings in the meta.

Typhus, Pumba, and Nathan are joined by Jack Harpster from Art of War to discuss the year that's come to pass and what lies in the future for them all.

The whole gang is back after an extended holiday break! Innes, Anthony, Nathan, and Jeremy team up to talk about the current meta as we head into LVO season and discuss what our plans for the near year entail.

Original broadcast date: 14 December 2023

Tim is back from Warzone Atlanta and he's got stories to share! The guys talk about tournament prep, how it pays off, and they're latest thoughts on the Elo system that Stat Check maintains.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

Innes, Anthony, and Nathan ring out the year for 40k in style! They talk about the initial performance of the new Necrons and Ad Mech codexes and how much archeotech needs to be uncovered before the Ad Mech codex does anything...

Typhus, Pumba and Nathan talk about current state of 8mans, how the game is doing, and how impactful Scrims are for your teams development.
