Chaos is the compound in which reality is written.  And Wowzers, the 1k Sons are here and they are probably better than they have ever been before.  We take a first look at the codex and run down some absolutely amazing Dataslates and Detachments.

Hey folks,

Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.  It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

We also started a Patreon for the FTN show.  This will help us a lot in the form of being able to hire an editor and a few other things.   If it is anywhere within your ability to support us on that platform please consider doing so. The link is right here.

From Magnus to the lowly Chaos Spawn, this book is jam packed with powerful effects straight from the Eye of Terror.  1k Sons have been powerful in the past with tons of damage dealing potential and now is absolutely no different.

I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store!  Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!

1k Sons get a ton of unit options which will lead to a lot of army list options.  We love that.

We talk about the brand new unit too – The Sekhetar Robots.  Will you pick them up?

It is a good time to be a chaos fanatic.  World Eaters, Death Guard, Emperor’s Children, Daemon Detachments, 1k Sons in the mix.  Wow.  Where do you start?  We have some ideas and share some army lists to get you going.

Several different flavors of army lists..

Red actually brings 3 lists to the table. He’s been brewing for a while now and is well know for liking World Eaters.

Did your favorite build survive the codex update? It probably did but now you have a TON more options.  Some stuff is better, some stuff is different..  You let us know what you think as we run down the new Death Guard and World Eater Codexes.

Death Guard will almost certainly dominate the meta for a little bit.  They aren’t ‘too good’ but they absolutely stack up well against a lot of whats out there and there are several ways to build this army out of the new codex.  Paul plays DG and can’t wait.

I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store!  Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!

Poxwalkers haven’t been a ‘thing’ in a little while but get ready.  You will see the plague hoard army in full use soon.

The next part of the show is about the World Eaters.  This army will play a little different than it has been.  That’s probably ok though as a nuanced Assault based army gets more fun to play the more you master it.  Red plays World Eaters and gives a bit of a deep dive on the things he’s discovered.

We are back to the normal routine now for a few weeks.  As we get ready for tournaments the idea of models and getting them painted has come back to the top of our minds. We talk about hobby accountability and various ways to find motivation.

This is a bit of a short episode. We’ve had back to back travel and birthdays and had to condense this a bit this week.  Thank you so much for being patient with us.  In this episode we do an Adepticon 2025 recap and in part 2 we give our thoughts on the must buys for Emperor’s Children this wee,

Adepticon was an absolute blast.  People were a little apprehensive about it moving to a completely new city but that was completely unfounded.  The convention was stronger than ever with likely getting close to 9k people in attendance throughout the weekend. Wow!

The 40k singles final was a bit of a nail biter and needed the judges to help work it out due to the clock becoming an issue.  When the fireworks settled the Ultramarines took it but not before we got to seem some masterful Yanarri play from the Aeldari player.

In part 2 we talk about the Emperor’s Children must buys as more kits go up for pre-order this weekend..  If you want to jump in and are on a bit of a budget maybe our thoughts will help.

The New Detachments are in folk’s hands now and people seem to really like them. Factions have a whole lot of new life breathed into them.  The Detachments are real elegantly designed way to plug and play new design concepts and give armies a face lift to use more of the existing ranges.

We kick off with a short conversation about blending old models with new models and ifw we are ok with that.  Of course it comes down to personal preference.  No one should be giving you any grief about it. But these are some of the personal things we struggle with as Warhammer players

I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store!  Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!

The new Detachments continue to give to players with deep collections.  We really like this. We talk a good bit about the Daemons and how that army is getting some new chaotic life.

Great Unclean Ones might make a comeback.  They seem to fall in and out of favor and we completely understand how hard it is to balance Nurgle but this might actually do it.  It feels fun, theamy and a way to reward players for having those models.

I mention Orks in the header because they are gonna get a huge burst of power out of this new detachment but there are tons of cool things in this update that are sure to sort of bring a little bit for everyone.

We really like where the game is right now.  This dataslate looks at a few of the power hitters that have  been dominating certain environments but the designers do a bit to lift everyone up at the same time.

We love a lot of the changes and are looking forward to seeing how it get on to the table top.  Everyone getting access to these new detachments is pretty amazing.

The Emperor’s Children are up for Pre-Order now and they are pretty excellent.  There are 6 Detachments and a couple of them seem ready for prime time.  This box set is just a taste as you are more that likely going to want more models to flesh out your collection and take advantage of the new stuff.

Princes will be a thing.  Land Raiders will be a thing,  Rhinos are a thing right now but will be even more so. The Detachments bring a lot of cool things but the base stats of a lot of the units in this book are certainly compelling enough.

I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store!  Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!

There seems to be a couple of notable exceptions from the book in the way of no cultists.  Fulgrim, while being a monster in combat, is a strange one here. He will definitely be a must get but I’m not sure he will make it into every list.

Maybe we’re wrong there but there seems to be a lot of good reason to gravitate to the non Primarch options if you’re going for pure utility.  Lucius the Eternal is going to be rude…

The Nachmund Gauntlet is up for pre-order and gives players additional umph for their Crusade games a few extra tricks.  This is right up Red’s alley and he goes a little nuts.  You can tell how fun this is.  Have you given it a shot yet?

New ways to play 40k is always cool.

In part two we talk about what the Aeldari release might do the meta.  With Astra Militarum and Aeldari both hitting the tables at the same time, is it going to be enough to cause the splash we think it is?

Codex Aeldari is hitting the shelves officially this weekend and wow oh wow. There are so many good options.  We do come to the consensus that there are two standout Aeldari codexes that play a lot like the army has in the past. The Ynarri is a stand out too but we don’t talk about that yet..

Paul is a longtime Biel-tan player so it hard not to be immediately drawn to the Aspect Host detachment.  It is likely the most safe from FAQwatch – tm.  The question is how many points is too many points on characters. Right now I’m leaning towards the Avatar too which is a nice idea to include.

I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store!  Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!

Shining Spears are still a standout unit too.  So once you have the Avatar, a character or two with one of those being a Phoenix Lord a a minimum, you basically have half your army in character models.  If that is wrong then I don’t wanna be right!

Thankfully the Aeldari have a lot of cool units that are highly mobile so maybe that is enough to score mission points. You’ll have to tune in next week to find out… haha. In the second half of the show Tanya lets us know she’s getting ready to do a lore based model update to fill out her IG.  It’s kind of inspiring.
