Facing the Grey Tide Podcast

What is up Everyone? Tonight on the podcast, Evan, Bryan, and Chandler man the podcast as we break down how Team Facing the General Geek (FTGG if you need to shorten it) did at the event. Captain Evan breaks down how the team did, how the games broke out each round, and some of the challenges he felt and had in his games. Evan also gives some helpful advice for those of you that are thinking of attending. Evan also talks briefly about the events that happened there at ATC, and also how the team approached their lists. Bryan then springs the Beerhammer List to beat all Beerhammer lists. Not going to spoil the lists, but if you go up against Bryan, be ready for a fun time.

What is up Everyone? This week Chandler, Evan, and Bryan are talking about their thoughts on the possible FAQ, their thoughts on the the new mini knights, and the release of Tau. The boys start to talk about what they think of the Tau codex in terms of GW's possible greater move, some of their thoughts on lists leading into Adepticon, and how the mini Knights fit into all of this idea. The boys also talk briefly about their thoughts on some of the other issues that might exist between the true state of the game and where GW sees the game. The second half of the game, they talk about the Tau codex and their initial thoughts. With a very limited time of looking at the Tau Codex, the boys give their initial thoughts on the codex, and they see a very high infantry count army in the future. They finish off with a little Necron talk since the release of some preliminary rules have hit the web.

The boys are back after a mini break, and the future looks to be on the ground.

What is up Everyone? This week Chandler, Evan, and Bryan are talking about crazy list designs and where there place in list building lies. We talk about how these lists come up, how we should approach the lists, what can we take from crazy list building. Evan and Bryan bring some key points on what to do with certain lists and where the lists should be played. We then jump into some of the crazy Nid lists and some fun lists that we have come up with. How do we feel about Sporocysts? How many is too many Tyrants? Are outflanking Primaris Marines worth their costs? What happens when you confuse the rules? All of these have played into the crazy lists at one point or another, and the guys discuss where that happy valley lies.

The True question of 40k life: What is list? Correct Answer: 42
