Vik (ITC Rank #2) and Dave (ITC Rank #4) back again after a short hiatus, with our 7th episode of 40K Fireside. We've been a bit down in the dumps following a shaky performance at the Coventry Super Major, but we've had some time to gather our thoughts, pick ourselves up and get our motivation back for competitive 40k.
In this episode we're going to discuss what happened at the Coventry Super Major and our thoughts on how to keep up motivation when things don't go to plan in an ever-changing competitive meta. We interlace this discussion with some more of our thoughts on where the meta currently stands, Vik's first 8-man team event with WTC Team England and Dave's approach to finding a new army identity after his long and successful run with the Tyranids!
We found this episode very cathartic to record, delving a bit deeper into what it is to be a competitive 40K player and it touches on some topics that aren't widely or proudly discussed in the content scene. We hope you find it both entertaining and useful, and as always welcome your feedback to help make your listening experience more enjoyable - see you by the fireside!

Reviewing the CSM Codex Leaks - Ep. 53


Hey guys,

Vik and I have had some time, and a few games to have a good thoughtful discussion on the balance dataslate. 

What do you think was great about the update? Did you think anything big was missed? We'd love to hear your comments, if you agree or disagree!

Reflections on the Balance Dataslate - Ep. 52

Welcome back to Episode 51 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite.

With our stream game on hold until we get the points update (please comment with factions you'd like to see, looking likely to be Guard vs Sisters at this rate!), we're back to our usual programme, but we'll be giving updates asap!

In this episode we discuss Vik's 7-0 winning run at the 250 person Oxford Super-Major with his beloved Adepta Sororitas. We talk through his match-ups, strategy and the tech he brought in his list to help him get through to a super-major win. 

As always grab a drink, sit back, relax and enjoy the episode. See you by the Fireside,



Vik wins Oxford Super-Major with Adepta Sororitas - Ep. 51




Welcome back to Episode 50.1 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite.

How did we get to episode 50 all of a sudden?! Thank you all for your support and feedback throughout the process, and we hope you've enjoyed joining us on the journey. 

We've split this episode into two halves - this episode is our usual podcast discussion where we'll be focussing on the imminent points update and what we'd like to see to improve the game. We'll also be discussing the 250+ person Oxford Super-Major this weekend, where Vik will be competing using his Adepta Sororitas. 

Due to popular demand, we'll be doing a live stream game for Episode 50.2 as soon as we've got the updated points in. Keep your eyes peeled for advertising on the exact date and time for this. If you have any preference on what faction you'd like to see us play, leave a comment! 

As always grab a drink, sit back, relax and enjoy the episode. See you by the Fireside,

Dave & Vik



Points Update Wishlist! - Ep. 50.1



Welcome back to Episode 49 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite.
You've heard of Commander Farsight, Commander Shadowsun...but have you heard of (Tank?) Commander David Gaylard?
Dave's looking for a new army to start and in this episode we do a read through of the new codex to see if joining The Greater Good is the right choice!
Grab a drink, sit back, relax and enjoy the episode. See you by the Fireside,
Dave & Vik
