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?

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.

We mostly end up talking about Matched Play most of the time as it is near and dear to our hearts but this week we stray a bit and talk about Crusade rules hitting the shelf soon with the Nachmund Gauntlet.

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!

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.

We talk Guard List design with Tanya and Red.  These are sort of self professed meme lists with a heart of gold. We break down the lists and maybe why some of the choices were made.  After that we start to get hyped for Adepticon 2025!

Guard Lists – so many choices.  Can you make bad ones?  Sure, but it is still kinda hard to when you have the combination of detachments and data slates.

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!

Adam had some internet issues this week so he kinda floats in and out but I’m sure that will be better next week.  We kick off taking about the sheer amount of Dorns one can take in a list and maybe why you might want to.  Don’t own 6 Rogal Dorns?  No problem, try one or two and see how you like it.

We also talk about the sweet sweet Stormlord.  It has a MASSIVE transport capacity and some dirty tricks you can pull off with it.  Tanya tells us what she’s planning.

Shining Spears are back on the menu but that is just the tip of the lance. There is so much good stuff in this Codex.  Is it too good?  That remains to be seen.  There are a lot of current builds that will certainly struggle but the meta is in a great place right now.  Will this upset the balance?

We talk about the base rules of the faction and how they are so much different than what it is today.  It’s cool.  You get a lot of tricks and Eldar are doing Eldar things is what the book feels like. The codex will reward smart players and still give a lot of flex and flow for more casual games.

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!

If you like a particular Craftworld style of play this book also delivers.  While a lot of the bespoke Craftworld and sub faction labels are falling to the wayside the ‘style’ of those army lists are still present and available in the codexes you remember.  That is present here as well and I love it! I’ll still be using my green, white and, thorn color scheme but it doesn’t force me into a specific play style.

The new Phoenix Lord is amazing.  I suspect that her and a small squad of Warp Spiders will be hard not to take.  It will be fun and it’s a force multiplier for some other attractive choices like Windrider Jetbikes.

Wow.  There is so much in this Codex and it is awesome.  There are clear moves to keep it balanced but it doesn’t take the power away.  Generals will be making choices when they make their army lists and then can make totally new lists with different play styles the next time. Come take a listen…

One thing is for certain – Rogal Dorn Tank Commanders are going to make a splash.  The new Krieg Special Character – Lord Marshal Drier is going to make a splash.  The Demolisher is no longer an auto include. – more take variants will be good to face off against and experiment with.

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 are all really digging that.  What is best will come down to a few thing still – points and the meta.  I guess the terrain has a lot to do with it too.  Some of this stuff is either big or on big bases.  Its a lot to consider.  The cool thing is that it is a fun puzzle to solve.  How do we get to use our cool models and put together something powerful?  So many good options in this dex.

We talk largely about the new stuff and the biggest changes from what the Guard uses today.

Last week we had a catastrophic computer failure that resulted in the recording being lost and having to rebuild everything from scratch.  Very Sorry for not getting an episode out around the holiday.  This was sort of a test to make sure everything is working again and I think we did it!  Thanks a lot for the patience and we hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season.

I know I mentioned the hardware failure above but I do just want to say that the cast took it in stride and I really appreciate them dedicating their time and support through the fix.  They really dedicate a lot of time to making this happen and the starts and stops we had to do while fixing everything was a big pain.

We talk about the year in this episode and look to the future, but not too far as that is next week’s show.  Paul is doing what he can to finish up a hobby project to completely open up next year for new things.  We all know what is coming…  It’s just a question of when!

The Grotmas detachments have people excited, dismayed, concerned and giddy.  What a mix of emotions for something we’re getting for free and allows us to use our toys?  So interesting.

Was it a big change or a little change for you? We walk through some of the Astra Militarum changes this week and talk about what it means to us.  The scene is in a good spot right now as we close out this year and look forward to the next.

The Balance Dataslate is here and there were some major changes for a few dominant factions and strangely – some hits to non dominant factions.  With that said, things are pretty even out there in the world and it is still a brewers paradise.

Paul’s youngest gave a shot at painting Necrons this past week and we talk about getting started as a new painter.  The models in the thumbnail are the ones he did.  Check them out!  Do you know any new hobbyist getting started soon?

Getting started as a new painter is a little intimidating.  I did my best not overwhelm what might have just been a passing desire to give it a shot by telling him just how many paints he needs or what the ‘perfect’ colors are or whatever.  We just sat down with some assembled and primed minis and messed around a bit with Washes a Drubrush and then finished off with a basic edge highlight.  He says he had fun.  We’ll see if he wants to paint anymore.

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!

Of course I went and built 30 more models and primed them for him the next day… ha!  it is  taking a lot of restraint to not just try to dive in and overwhelm him with information but we are just going to take it one step at a time. He already plays a little bit but I hope to encourage him to take things at his own pace and be proud of what he makes.

In the second part of the show we talk about getting ready for the Grand Narrative here in a few weeks.  It is going to be amazing.  You’ll get to tune in for a lot of the coverage for the Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar championships that weekend.
