In this video we talk to Jay Middlecote from Mohawk Miniatures who also happens to be the head judge at the World Team Championships. We discuss the things that make the WTC stand out - the rules, the terrain and adjusting all that for the 10th edition. We also get to talk about the use of clocks at events: we delve into the topics of weaponizing clocks and deathclocking opponents and what the WTC officials are doing to hamper that. We also make our promised big ANNOUNCEMENT...

In our first ever live episode we hosted the amazing Archon Skari of SkaredCast to talk about his successful 40k career as a competitive player, content creator and coach. During the 85 min long interview we got to ask about his work-life balance, ways monetizing content and also about plans for the near and more distant (like... retirement-wise) future. We also got to answer some questions from the chat for which we are very thankful!

'My 40k job' series continues - this time with the one and only Nick Nanavati talking about his Magnum Opus : The Art of War. Within these 70 minutes we delve into the history and formation of one of the most powerful rosters of 40k specialists out there, we talk about establishing a brand with a diversified value propositio and the techniques and methods of growing your brand, attracting sponsors and growing the numbers of your followers. We also talk about the biggest learnings, ways of dealing with stress and tackling professional burnout. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed recording it.

'My 40k job' is really a series of recorded love letters to people who were able to turn a passion into a profession and took 40k to a new level. They are influencers, trend-setters and bring a lot of added value to the community at large and these are their stories....

With this new episode we kick off a brand new series called 'My 40k job' where we will be interviewing people who managed to turn their love for the hobby into a profession. The series will see our guests talking about how they came up with the ideas for their businesses, what are the typical challenges of such endeavors, how their pricing/quotations work, how they structure their offering and even how they do marketing.

We kick off the series with the one and only Innes Wilson of Statcheck and Team Scotland fame. Innes has been offering coaching services since January 2023 as a full-time job and we found it appropriate to let him kickstart what will hopefully turn into an entire series of episodes. If you have ever had any doubts whether 40k coaching is a real job, whether you should try it and whether it is actually worth it - this episode will provide you with answers to all your questions.

Make sure you leave a comment with names of people you would like us to interview next and we will do our best to make that happen!

In this brand new episode tweak interviews Brian Seipp and Pumba about their victory at the Alpine Cup - a 5-man teams event in Austria. Our guests, together with Typhus, Innes Wilson and Anthony Vanella from Stat Check, now secretly under the alias Slut Check have climbed to the top and have done it with style. Tune in to find out what lists they brought, how they paired and why Anthony is the luckiest git. We also touch upon the latest Dataslate, however we focus more on Brian's and Pumba's interpretation and their meta predictions rather than on the slate in details. After all a hundred podcasts have done the analysis already :P

Tune in for another episode of Contact Lost, this time with an update on the Polish Meta and whether it is falling behind the "western trends". We invited Pumba (Polish National Team) to talk about the biggest Polish event this year so far that he himself had organised, we talk about the top lists and how they fit the global meta. We also look at the potential impact that the Desolation Marines could have on the state of the game and do some "wishful thinking" about the upcoming dataslate.

It's a perfect episode to pop a whisky bottle, whip out your brushes and paints and just enjoy the laid back conversation with a lot of insights.

Let us know if you enjoy these kinds of updates :)

This is the second part of the two-parter on Alex Harrison's awesome Space Wolves list that took 2nd place at Manchester GT. In the previous episode we focussed on the list itself and the rationale behind Alex's choices. This time we go into his games, his choice of secondaries and the overll tactics for all games he played. Should be a treat for both Space Wolves players and anyone who might face them on the tables.

Please let us know if you enjoy what we do by liking, subscribing or leaving comments and reviews on spotify and other media. A thumbs-up wouldn;t be too shabby at all as well.

Here's a brand new episode and guess what... tweak is back! and this time he is talking with the pilot of the most interesting Space Marine army at the Manchester Super Major - Alex Harrison. This is the first episode of a two-parter where Alex talks about his list, his games and the tournament overall. In this part Alex provides interesting insights into his list building process and explains the "why" behind all of his unit choices. We then delve into the topic of how his list tackles certain match-ups and how it plays on UKTC tables and what gives it that competitive edge.

We hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed recording it and make sure to listen to part two where we discuss the matchups and what the winning path actually was. Don't miss it!
