Rogue & Blasted Podcast - EP21 - Warhammer 40K Hot Takes

Friday, April 3, 2026 • Duration 58:49

The boys are BACK 🎲 | Hot Takes, Would You Rather & Spicy 40K Opinions

After a short hiatus, Dan, Connor and Matt are back in the studio and they're not holding back. This week the lads dive into some classic Would You Rather warm-ups before unleashing their hottest takes on Warhammer 40K and yes, someone calls an entire faction boring within the first ten minutes.

From the sacred debate of dice rolls vs. mind-reading, to whether invulnerable saves should be wiped off the face of the galaxy, this episode has something to wind up pretty much every kind of 40K player.

Plus the lads start writing their own unofficial rulebook (you're welcome, Games Workshop), debate the merits of the index era, and end up debating exactly how spicy Connor's Guard take actually was.

Whether you're a competitive GT grinder or a casual hobbyist, this one's got opinions for everyone — and at least one take that's going to make a Guard player somewhere very, very angry.

Rogue & Blasted Podcast - EP18 - Is Warhammer 40k more fun when you stop trying to win?

Friday, February 6, 2026 • Duration 01:00:52

In this episode of Rogue & Blasted, the boys tackle one of the big questions in Warhammer 40k: is the Warhammer 40k more fun when you stop trying to win?

The guys dig into the balance between competitive play and enjoyment, exploring how tournaments, streaming, and pressure to perform can lead to burnout. Winning brings satisfaction, but chasing optimisation at all costs can strip the joy from gaming, painting, and army building. From commission painting expectations to the dangers of comparing your work to others, they talk about how subjective quality really is.

The conversation also highlights the social side of Warhammer: community, experimentation, and enjoying the journey, even in defeat.

They discuss building versatile armies, trying new units, and finding fulfillment beyond the win-loss record.

Naturally, then wrap things up with a very serious debate: who would win— a Sister Repentia or a mob of Grots?

From confusing croutons and futons to Connor refusing to field 120 Kroot, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating fun, competition, and community in Warhammer 40k.

Rogue & Blasted Podcast - EP16 - What does tabletop ready mean for warhammer 40K?

Friday, January 16, 2026 • Duration 01:04:57

In this episode of the Rogue and Blasted podcast, Steven, Matt, and Dan chat about what “tabletop ready” really means and where the idea came from. The lads compare tabletop-ready models to tournament-level paint jobs, share their own painting habits (and disasters), and talk honestly about the balance between speed, quality, and just getting models on the table. There’s plenty of banter, a few war stories involving questionable paint decisions, and some reassurance for anyone who’s ever been overly critical of their own work.

They also touch on approachable painting techniques for beginners like dry brushing and sponging and discuss why “good enough to play” often matters more than perfection. The episode wraps up with a chat about commission painting, encouraging people to have a go themselves first, as painting your own models can be surprisingly fun, relaxing, and rewarding.

Takeaways

'Tabletop ready' is often seen as a baseline standard for models.

The term likely originated from Games Workshop's early publications.

There is a distinction between 'tabletop ready' and 'tournament ready' models.

Quality of painting can vary greatly among hobbyists, influenced by experience and personal standards.

Self-critique can hinder enjoyment in the hobby, as many hobbyists are their own harshest critics. 'Tabletop ready is what you're happy to put in front of you.'

'It's about when to apply the paint more than anything.'

'You might find this is really enjoyable and relaxing.'

'You are always your own worst critic with this kind of stuff.'

'It's just about being in the game, having fun, having a laugh with your mates.'

Rogue & Blasted Podcast - EP13 - Merry Christmas. You’re a Servitor Now

Friday, December 26, 2025 • Duration 01:11:59

What’s worse in the Warhammer 40K universe: being flayed alive by the Drukhari, turned into corpse starch, or spending eternity as Servitor Santa?
In this episode of Rogue & Blasted, we push grimdark “Would You Rather” questions to their absolute limit — and somehow make them worse.

This episode dives headfirst into the darkest corners of Warhammer 40,000, mixing brutal lore, dark humour, and real talk about the hobby. Alongside some truly cursed scenarios (corpse starch mince pies included), we also break down the reality of competitive Warhammer — what it actually takes to win tournaments, why most players never break into the top tier, and when the game stops being a hobby and starts becoming a job.

We also recap the year in Warhammer, discuss GTs vs RTTs, tournament goals for next year, faction loyalty vs meta-chasing, and the uncomfortable truth behind coaching, practice time, and competitive obsession.

If you love Warhammer lore, grimdark humour, tabletop gaming podcasts, or honest discussions about the hobby — this episode of Rogue & Blasted is for you.
