This episode, Tom reveals a plan not quite generations in the making: he is pivoting to the Genestealer Cult.  He kicks it off with the unit that the whole cult centers around: the Patriarch. Addison brings us the rare insanity of the Mutalith Vortex Beast, and Bob brings us the also rare but much more sane Dire Avengers.  Mike continues his WAAAGH with the always killy Deff Dreads.

In this bonus episode, Tom talked with fellow Tyranid and Genestealer Cult enthusiast John Lennon.  John is a top-level player and someone who is fully immersed in the 40k hobby.  They talked first about John's journey in the hobby from his first box of miniatures to his recent 7th place finish at the Bay Area Open.  Then they dove deep into Genestealer Cults and Tyranids from a competitive play perspective.  There was certainly a lot to talk about, enjoy!

In episode 8 Tom talks Trygon, Bob brings the Wraithseer, and Addison does a deep dive on Magnus the Red.  It turns out the "Magnus did nothing wrong" trope doesn't even begin to scratch the surface about this tragic and compelling primarch.  Enjoy!
