Forge the Narrative

The game is in a good spot right now.  There are a few outliers but was it wide spread?  Did we need huge overhauls?  We don’t think so and the designers didn’t seem to think so either. We got some nudges here and there was was it enough? Too much? I guess it depends on what army you play.

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.

The show is mostly about the changes this week.  It looks like Thousand Sons and Drukari might have been hit the most.  The Dark Eldar is a bit of a head scratcher but maybe they are seeing stuff we don’t.

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 may be some nice winners here depending on who you ask.  We sort of think that now that some of the ‘big lists’ might have been toned down just a little the ecosystem will allow some of those lists on the cusps to feel more powerful and maybe dial up their wins a little.

We love it when change hits the game like this.  We talk about Guard a little bit as well and they were great before the changes and hardly got apart from Bullgryn.  A lot of lists weren’t running them anyway…

New Blood Angels models hit the website for preorder today and man oh man.. I am excited.  Games Workshop sent us the new models to review and paint up.  Wow.  So much fun and basically auto includes for Blood Angel players. We review the Sanguinary Guard and the Sanguinor models.

In part 2 of the show we talk about some big changes in the Magic the Gathering world and how it might apply to our Warhammer competitive scene.  I know these are not 1 to 1 comparable things but it does help to keep an eye on the other side of the fence.  They have a very mature scene over there.

We go down a bit of a rabbit hole but these are the types of conversations I love to have with my buddies.

Games Workshop was nice enough to send us a copy of the new Kill Team rules and we give our first impressions of the game and some of the cool new changes.  In the second part of the show we talk about how to Netlist..  Nothing wrong with borrowing someone else’s ideas sometimes.

The new Kill Team is extremely fun and a cool way to get play a fully immersive game in a short amount of time.  Each model, even a basic trooper in 40k, will feel like a hero.  Tons of wounds, tons of potential and tons of fun.  The game is more streamlined and has a PvE mode that seems like a ton of fun to play.

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!

In the second part of the show Tanya asks ‘how do I make a netlist work?’   This is an interesting question and it is not as straightforward as you may think.

Too many players take too much for granted and when the situation doesn’t line up exactly then the wheels come off.  We sort of highlight these concerns so you can watch out for them.

Wondering what the best Blood Angel detachment is?  Wonder no more.  We run down the comparables and focus a little bit on the Liberator Assault Group from the upcoming Blood Angel Codex.   It’s good and will likely but what current BA players try while they figure out the nuances of the other two detachments.

I tried out the Liberator Assault Group this past weekend using Dante, Mephiston, The Sanguinor, Lemartes and a lot of standard red marines.  Including some Blade Guard.  It did really well and should be a powerful list right out of the gate for BA 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 Plus 1 Attack and Plus 2 Strength combined with some unit abilities are pretty amazing. I wasn’t sure about the Blade Guard at firs but I honestly liked how they performed when accompanied by a Lieutenant.

In the back half of the show we gush over the new Skaven models.  Age of Sigmar continues to knock it out of the park with release after release. What do you think of the new minis?

We kick off the show talking about what lists did the best at the NoVA Open this past weekend.  Chaos Space Marines are on the rise but what else?  Is the good stuff from earlier in the month still winning?  In the back half of the show we complain a little about Blood Angels and Dark Angels.

Chaos Space Marine hoards won this past weekend largely with their ability to dominate the board and present some interesting problems for what people are taking in lists now-a-days.  Are they now the top dogs or was it just the right place right time situation?

Generals aren’t resting on old tech to crack new problems – that’s for sure. This is one of the best things about a fairly balanced living breathing meta.  People get to try to attack it and that’s fun and fresh.

In the back half of the show Paul kicks it off with a slight bit of complaining and then talking about the Blood Angels.  All kidding aside I don’t think it is complaining to wishlist and ‘want’ things from something you care about.  What do you think?

Oh happy day! We got our hands on the new Blood Angels Codex and it’s amazing.  We jump out of the gate talking briefly about the not so great and then dive into the sweet sweet goodness that is the rest of the book.  It’s different but is it more powerful?  Is it the most powerful we’ve ever been?

I am loving the new Blood Angels book. There are three compelling detachments where you can make a case for most of your collection (the part of your collection that survived the cuts).

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 Sanguinary Guard are going to make their way back on to the table top for sure.  Different weapon options but the same battlefield role and they absolutely do it better than they used to with a 4+ invulnerable save.

The Red, Black and the Gold are ways you can sort of define the detachments in your head.   Mephiston is back and in full glory almost back to the way he was in 5th edition.   BA fans should ultimately love this book but it doesn’t come without some suffering.  Sort of like the BA are used to, ha!

We run down the heavy hitting characters from the Imperial Agents book.  In the middle of the show Paul is joined by a special guest to talk about Warcry.  After that we’re back to talking 40k and close out the show talking about the Imperial Assassins and our initial thoughts on the Blood Angel models on the Warhammer Community site.

Following the show from last week we come back to the Imperial Agents main characters – the Inquisitors and the Assassins.  A couple of these will be absolute mainstays in army lists.  I think the Eversor is a particular stand out but we try to give them all their due in this episode.

In the middle of the show my good buddy Tim joins us to talk about a passion of his – Warcry.  If you like the Age of Sigmar setting and looking to ‘toe into it’ this is a good way to do it.  Lots of dynamic play, not a lot of models, and the games go pretty quick.

In the half we talk about our time at Gen Con.  Enjoy!

Allies are a tricky subject for a lot of players – this new book will break the doors open on what is possible for Imperial Forces but also brings a whole new Imperial dimension in and of itself.  There is some powerful stuff in this dex but is it on the right frame?  We dive into the detachments.

We mostly tackle the new Detachments from the upcoming Imperial Agents Codex.  There is some really nice stuff in there. There are overlapping rules that incentivize you to take the detachment and the corresponding units assigned to it but there are also very powerful abilities on the units themselves.  We talk about the tricks and Stratagems available to each Detachment and the Detachment special rule.

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!

Red says his favorite is the Imperialis Fleet.   I think my favorite is the Purgation Force.  This codex borrows from some other factions to ‘hang it all together’ and seems like a nice way to include these models in your collection even if you don’t want to flesh out a full 2000 point force.

In the half we talk about our time at Gen Con.  Enjoy!
