Welcome to the Ashes of the Imperium!

Celebrating their 100th episode, the duo delves into the darkness of the 41st millennium, dissecting the eight new detachments that bring the dread legions of Chaos to life.

Max unveils his Dread Talons list, a terror from above with a swarm of Raptors and Warp Talons, while Dan shares his vision for a cultist uprising, a thematic force that blurs the lines between the heretical Astartes, hordes of Cultists and Renegade Guardsmen. They discuss the narrative potential of the new rules and the flexibility in list building from this brand new Codex.
