Vik (ITC Rank #2) and Dave (ITC Rank #4) back again with our 6th episode of 40K Fireside. After getting in some practice games and gathering our thoughts following the changes in the latest balance dataslate, we've got some more considered ideas on what the strongest factions are, how the meta is likely to shape up for the rest of the year and what army concepts you are likely to have to deal with at your next event (as well as some ideas on how to actually deal with them!)
Following some great feedback, we've tried to make this episode a little more informative, with a deeper dive into the way we analyse event results across multiple (significantly different) terrain formats and how it informs our approach to list design. We stitch that into a discussion on the armies we're bringing to the Coventry Super-Major (8 rounds, 3 days) this weekend (4-6 Nov) as well as analysing 4 of, what we feel, are the strongest army lists in attendance at the event.
As always, we hope you find this entertaining/useful and we'd love your continued feedback and comments as it really helps us to keep refining the podcast!

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
