In this week's episode we talk to returning Team's champion Olivier Weiss, the captain of Team France. France just won the Pyra Cup, one of the most difficult team tournaments in the world. We learn about the strategies he used to captain their team, their team composition, and their approach to the event.

In part two of the discussion, available to our patrons, we talk about each round of the pyra cup, which matches went well and which went poorly, and how you deal with real time challenges in team Warhammer.

Hello wonderful people. Matt Morosoli joins me this week to review the brand new Balance Dataslate and MFM for the game we all love.

They hit some home runs and also absolutely swung and missed on others but overall this is a positive change for the game. 

I hope you enjoy the shenanigans that Matt always brings and brings out of me!

This week we have brand new guest Tim Schneider from Germany! Tim is an incredibly talented Leagues of Votann player who was the highest point scorer of the event at the Pyra Cup in Poland.

In part 1 of the show we review his list and how it operates, and then in part 2 we go through the actual play by plays of all of Tim's games.

Part two of this show is for our patrons. You can subscribe and get access at patreon.com/aow40k

Hey there sailor, you into some weird stuff? The Emperors Children certainly are. 

Jawn Lennon joins me for this review (he demanded it) as we disseminate the brand new codex for the funkmasters of 40k. 

This is a book that has amazing detachments and rules but overall ends up being a bit hollow in it's extremely sandboxed selection of unit choices. Despite this it looks like a hell of a good time on the tabletop!

We hope you enjoy!

This week we have returning guest and Art of War coach Brian Jones! Brian is fresh off a first place finish at the Cherokee Open Super Major where he used his latest and greatest Imperial Knight army to go undefeated after 8 grueling rounds.

Hello denizens of the warp! I am joined by the World No1 Daemon player in the ITC for a review of all 4 grotmas detachments that seriously change the game and prospects for all chaos players out there. 

These things are some of the best they gave us for Grotmas and I am willing to say, do more for Daemons than any other grotmas release (mostly because there are 4 of the thangs).

Hope you enjoy the review!
