Forge the Narrative

Red and Paul are back to it while the others are traveling. We’re talking about the point changes revealed this week and not all of us are convinced it is enough to stem the dominance of these factions.  What do you think?

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.

I am of the mind that the point changes are significant because you start the game with ‘less’ on the table and we play a game where the extra units here and there really really matter, especially late game.

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!

Fewer units means fewer opportunities to score points – maybe – and that means fewer wins.  Remember, this game isn’t just about blasting your opponent off the table.

Death Guard and Knights of both flavors are taking a hit and we’re going to get some results from events this weekend.

Red regales us with his exploits from the LSO this past weekend where he played in a KT Tournament with his son.  Pretty cool when you can spend a weekend rolling dice, and he tells us about it.  Then we talk about alternate ways to play again in the back segment.

Traveling to events is still the highlight of my gaming activities.  Getting to play with your own child is even more special.  Red got to do just that and he tells us about it on the show.  This was at the LSO where some drama went down, it’s all over the internet but we don’t dip into that and trust the organizers to sort it out.

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 rest of the event seemed to go really well.

I built a Monolith with my youngest as well so I guess this episode is mostly about getting to do some hobby stuff with your kids..  Maybe we should do a whole episode about that, ha!

GenCon 2025 is done and we’re back! This convention gets better and better every year.  More people. More things to see. More games to play. More fun.  To everyone who came by the booth to say hello, thank you!  We give our rundown of how it went for us in this episode then we talk about something cool from Miniwargaming.

GenCon is a can’t miss for me now.  I was a hold out for a bunch of years, never even thinking it was possible. Now I go and get to spend time as an exhibitor talking about Warhammer.

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!

I had the pleasure of running Kill Team demos for most of the convention and got to see people take their first steps into miniature wargaming.  We had a blast.  Running these types of things reminds you just how fun the hobby is sometimes. The aspect of building, painting, playing and making laser sounds when you roll the dice.  Love it!

Red was over at the activity center where we had tons of people getting to share in some things completely unique to GenCon.  These are in the open gaming area and we totally suggest you put it on your list if you haven’t already.   Later in the show Tanya talks about something she is kicking off with MiniWargaming later this month and you’re gonna want to tune into their channel for more details.

We get to crack open the Black Templars and Grey Knight codex.  There is some great stuff here and then some stuff that has us scratching our heads.  We find the power and hopefully get you excited about putting these forces back on the table.

In the Black Templar section we discover the Oath of the Moment is gone gone for them.  Does that mean they no longer serve the Emperor?   Settle down.. they do, and they have a bunch of other ways to get re-rolls and might be as potent as ever.

Some folks are lamenting that the 20 man squads lost some of their weight since we see them in other  codexes but I’m not sure I feel the same way.

In the Grey Knight section we regret to inform you that Draigo and  Stern are no longer options in the codex.  They will just have to live in our hearts.

Sorry for the delay here but Paul was at the GW Tacoma Open this past weekend doing a little streaming.  In this episode Red gives his first looks and thoughts to the new Horus Heresy 3.0.

This is a surface level review on this right as we have not gotten the opportunity to play yet but we will.. Oh yes, we will.  The story driven games in one of the most evocative time periods in the lore is too hard to pass up.

After the break we run down the Wrong Way Kids results from the America Team Championship a couple of weeks ago.  We had a blast.  We played some games, shared some stories and didn’t do too bad…

I’m really digging the Blood Angel list I’ve been playing recently.

Paul speaks with Ify Nwadiwe, host of Dropout TV’s Um, Actually, writer, comedian,  actor, perform and a host of other talents about his journey into the world of Warhammer so far.  Then after that the normal crew talk about a standout unit in the Space Marine codex and what Paul is taking to an upcoming tournament.

For starters, thanks so much to Mr. Nwadiwe for taking time to sit down with me this week.  Ify has spoken openly about Warhammer in places that I didn’t expect to hear it around people that may or may not be into Warhammer and I consider that pretty dang cool and a champion for our hobby.   This includes on the various shows he hosts or is a part of like Um, Actually, Parlor Room and Nobody Asked.

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!

I had no idea his journey has basically just begun and doesn’t just stop at 40k.  He’s into Sigmar too.  It was a great conversation and I hope you dig it.   Catch Ify on his socials  to see what he’s up to next if you want to learn more.

After the Spotlight Segment we get back to ‘normal’ talking about the Blood Angels List Paul is taking to the ATC, speaking about the list choices and then zeroing in on one unit in particular.  The Space Marine Lt with Combi weapon. This sheet has basically every rule in the book plus a unique one.

What is the meta?  Believe it or not it is a pretty wide open field out there where much of the game is in a great spot. It comes down to some small list choices and great generalship to give you the advantage.  We talk about that thought process a little in this episode.

So much agonizing over to take a dread or not take a dread.  Take a Predator Annihilator instead!

There is some great discussion in this episode about the hows and whys one might take something in an army list for a specific format.

In the end I think you should always play what you think is the most fun but when you are trying to be efficient.. that’s another story.

Maulerfiends, wow.  Who would have thought.  John Lennon did… and they ended off being amazing, especially with his last round opponent almost going all the way with Chaos Daemons absolutely brimming with Great Unclean Ones.  It was a climatic showdown in the the frozen tundra (not really.. it was like 75 degrees the whole time and quite pleasant).

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!

We also talk about an amazing narrative event and give some recaps of the entire weekend.  It was an amazing time and I hope we get to go back.

I know we’ve been a little sporadic the last couple of weeks but we are through traveling for a little while and should be all set and back to normal for the next few weeks.  Thanks so much for sticking with us.

Chaos Knights are hitting the scene again in a big way – as if they could be any bigger!  The core of the Knights are changing with lower OC, lower toughness but more of other stuff. Is it a good balance or are you full of Dread?

Folks with Chaos Knight armies are heavily invested in the ‘scope’ of the codex.  How many Knights do I need? How many big ones and small ones do we need?  Both Adam and I play CK and have a good time and filled with good hopes talking about the codex.

The lower toughness and OC seems like that might be the hardest pill to swallow but there are some nice tradeoffs.

I hope you enjoyed the vendor spotlight segment from the previous episode.  Let us know as we will be looking to do more of those in the future.
