This week we have a very special guest, amazing 40k player and winner of the largest Warhammer tournament ever, Mark Hertel! Mark is fresh off a first place finish at the Las Vegas Open where he used the new Deathwatch detachment in one of the hardest and most impressive Warhammer runs ever.

In part 1 of the show we review his list and how it operates, and then in part 2 we go through the actual play by plays of all of Mark's games.

Part two of this show is for our patrons. You can subscribe and get access at patreon.com/aow40k

Don't forget to join our discord as well when you become a patron!
