Hello lovely listeners, this week I am joined by Innes Wilson to delve into the world of the super soldiers of the imperium, the Space Marines. We give the super faction the once over, looking at how they have coped with changes in the balance slate and what each of their sub-factions has going/not going for them! It's an amazing ride and Innes is a total Gem so I hope you enjoy!

AOWdu 185.1 State of the Super Faction: Astartes

Every week we Interview a Top Performing 40k Player from a recent tournament!

We produce a two part show every single week.

In the first segment Warhammer 40k legend Nick Nanavati, introduces you to the player who has been performing notably well in the competitive Warhammer 40k tournament scene. You will learn about what makes them tick, their story, their practice, their play style, and how they win.

During the second segment Nick Nanavati puts his critical analysis to the test, and he works with the guest to unpack the specific list which they used to achieve glory. All of the strategies, tactics, and in game movements to actually win the games REVEALED!

The second part is for our patrons who we love dearly.

Subscribe today to listen to both parts of the podcasts via Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/aow40k) with the Competitive 40k network, and make sure to listen to all the free part ones where ever you get your podcasts!
