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.

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.

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

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 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.

Several of us were in Edmonton last weekend for an amazing Warhammer event at Game Con Canada.  We give a recap to the weekend and talk about the winning list that took home all the marbles and a trip to the finals in November.

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.

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 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.

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.

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?

Looking for a place to get started with army lists for the hottest stuff to hit Chaos in months?  We have you covered.  Adam and Red bring us some really nice list tech.   If you are just getting into these armies these are amazing places to start.

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.

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!

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.

Tanya kicks us off talking about something she has going on in her Discord.  We start talking about hobby motivation and then suggest a few methods  that work for us.  Of course it is about what works for YOU but maybe this can be some inspiration.

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.

If you find something for you please do drop a comment and let us know how you do it.

The back half of the show talks about the ATC coming up in July.  It’s a massive team tournament and one of the vanguards that started it all over here in the States.  Our team will be there and now were in the prep stages.

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.
