What’s kept us busy this last month? It was this – the 2018 Midwest Conquest GT! With another large tournament under our belts, we look back at who won, what worked, what didn’t, and what we’d adjust for next year. For this discussion, we’re joined by Andrew Tiegs and PE fifth chair Dave Arimond from the Renegade Open. For a short episode, we cover a lot of ground – what longer rounds did for the game, how the Big FAQ changed the environment, the lessons we can learn from the London GT, and how to retool 7th Edition terrain for 8th Edition. Also, small games with Combat Patrol, and Knight Joust craziness! If you’re looking for our standard show sections, don’t worry – they’ll be back in two weeks!

It’s time to get back to get back to codex reviews, and this time we delve into elves! The Drukhari (the Army Formerly Known as Dark Eldar) are now out of Index 40K and into Codex 40K, and with them they bring a lot of new evil tricks. How does this army change up the rules for army construction? Do three very disparate army sections work together as a greater whole? And is there a reason to ever be anything other than the Kabal of the Black Heart? We look at this as and more we dig through the monsters that are the Aeldari of Commorragh. Also, your listener mail, including 3 army list reviews and a couple of requests for your take on some Unpopular Opinions! It’s nearly 4 hours of 40K talk!

We’re back, and just in time – the first promised Big FAQ has finally hit, and does it live up to its name!

What do you do when you only have two hosts available? You grab two fantastic painters and you talk hobby! On this episode, we’re joined by Alex Hunt and Danny Holwerda, two great painters (and great friends) to talk about how to get started painting your army. From cleaning mold lines to sealing your models and every step in between, they take us through the process, share some of the tricks they’ve learned along the way, and hopefully debunk some myths and fears about getting your army tabletop-ready. Also, Rob and Kevin talk about all the news out of both GAMA and Adepticon and all the new releases coming our way. All that, and your listener mail, too!

After a flurry of Imperium and Chaos codexes, it’s time to focus on the eastern fringes of the galaxy as we look at the new T’au Empire codex. Everyone’s favorite technologically-advanced blue aliens return with updated rules; so, what’s changed for them since the end of the Damocles campaign? Are Riptides worth taking again? Will the new Sept tenets change how armies play? Are there any killer stratagems? Is a holographic Aun’va as good as the real thing? And what really did happen with the Fourth Sphere Expansion? We look at all this and more in our look at the new T’au book. Also, we talk with Brian “Bam Bam” Hunter of the Flying Monkey Con and podcast about what’s coming up with their event this summer. All this, news and new release discussion, and your listener mail!

It’s time to get back to codex reviews, and this time we’re taking a look at the Blood Angels, everyone’s favorite superhuman space vampires. What makes these red-armored marines different from, say, Ultramarines or Dark Angels? Is it merely the blood drop motifs, their love of jump packs, or their propensity of sculpting nipples on everything? Or is it the Flaw that makes them invariably go insane in a frenzy of genetically-remembered death? In this episode, we dig into the Sons of Sanguinius and look at what makes this army distinct in both the fluff and on the tabletop, from their units to their strategems to their bloody psychic powers. Also, news and new releases (it’s a slow news week!), our hobby progress, and your listener mail!
