Welcome back to Episode 43 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite.

The moment we've been waiting for is here! The first Dataslate of 2024 has dropped and has exceeded our expectations with how comprehensive the changes are. This episode we go through the key changes for the previously strongest/weakest armies in the meta as well as the armies that we personally play (Vik= Sisters + GK + Drukhari + CSM + Aeldari, Dave= Necrons + Guard + Daemons + Aeldari). We also discuss where we think the overall meta may end up and which armies we think will be dominant in this quarter. 

As always, enjoy and feel free to leave a question or feedback in the comments!

Reviewing the CSM Codex Leaks - Ep. 53


Hey guys,

Vik and I have had some time, and a few games to have a good thoughtful discussion on the balance dataslate. 

What do you think was great about the update? Did you think anything big was missed? We'd love to hear your comments, if you agree or disagree!

Vik & David



Reflections on the Balance Dataslate - Ep. 52

Welcome back to Episode 51 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite.

With our stream game on hold until we get the points update (please comment with factions you'd like to see, looking likely to be Guard vs Sisters at this rate!), we're back to our usual programme, but we'll be giving updates asap!

In this episode we discuss Vik's 7-0 winning run at the 250 person Oxford Super-Major with his beloved Adepta Sororitas. We talk through his match-ups, strategy and the tech he brought in his list to help him get through to a super-major win. 

As always grab a drink, sit back, relax and enjoy the episode. See you by the Fireside,



Vik wins Oxford Super-Major with Adepta Sororitas - Ep. 51




Welcome back to Episode 50.1 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite.

How did we get to episode 50 all of a sudden?! Thank you all for your support and feedback throughout the process, and we hope you've enjoyed joining us on the journey. 

We've split this episode into two halves - this episode is our usual podcast discussion where we'll be focussing on the imminent points update and what we'd like to see to improve the game. We'll also be discussing the 250+ person Oxford Super-Major this weekend, where Vik will be competing using his Adepta Sororitas. 

Due to popular demand, we'll be doing a live stream game for Episode 50.2 as soon as we've got the updated points in. Keep your eyes peeled for advertising on the exact date and time for this. If you have any preference on what faction you'd like to see us play, leave a comment! 

As always grab a drink, sit back, relax and enjoy the episode. See you by the Fireside,

Dave & Vik



Points Update Wishlist! - Ep. 50.1



Welcome back to Episode 49 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite.
You've heard of Commander Farsight, Commander Shadowsun...but have you heard of (Tank?) Commander David Gaylard?
Dave's looking for a new army to start and in this episode we do a read through of the new codex to see if joining The Greater Good is the right choice!
Grab a drink, sit back, relax and enjoy the episode. See you by the Fireside,
Dave & Vik
