On today’s episode we pivot over to a new style and decide to talk about the Grey Knights over the ages. From their original appearance in rogue trader (as terminator models only) through 2nd edition expansion (of more terminator models). Then we cover one of the move influential codexes Daemonhunters in 3rd edition where they got their first expansion (along with GW trying out some new rules). Then we cover their first codex in 5th edition, which was busted AF. From there we dive into how the Grey Knights have evolved over the years. With some very good, and less good play styles (8th and 9th were very up and down). Along with how we think they should be adjusted to play more in line with their lore.

On today’s episode close out our coverage of the editions of 40k with trip down the power creep that was 9th edition. Talking through the many busted codexes, and how they reshaped the meta. With an especial focus on the nightmare that was the tyranid codex release, and the joy that was the ork buggy release! As well as some fun hits on Drukhari, chaos, and some more. In retrospect we totally forgot about the harlequins, sorry!

On today’s episode we begin our coverage of 9th edition 40k. With a trip down memory lane of June 2020 and the big going on (leading to all of us not having a lot going on). And how that affected the launch of the edition cough cough back orders cough cough. Then we spend time talking about the actual changes of the edition, how they functioned and the effect on the game state.

On today’s episode we close our coverage of 8th edition with a discussion of the most broken and problematic elements of the edition. Starting with the over abundance of and lack of limitations on command points. Followed by overlapping auras and overly broad key-words. And then we jump into more specific examples of things that just got tuned up a little too high, Ynnari, loyal 32, smash captains, castellan knights, etc. And then close out on the death of the edition with the iron hands detachment of doom.

On today’s episode we continue our coverage of 8th edition with a review of the core rules. From the addition of movement to data sheets, the improved psychic phase, and wonky new line of sight (character targeting was odd). We also then jump into charge and fight phases, and close out on the completely reworked moral phase (really sucked to be horde).

On today’s episode we jump into the savior of the game 8th edition! But with a focus on its release which, despite the issues of 7th was met with a lot of trepidation. Which was somewhat valid because like Cyberpunk it was very buggy at release. We go though the end of templates, armor rating, and the first in 20 years index-hammer! But we also got stratagems, crazy allies, and one busted codex after another. So join us for a jump down memory lane of 8th edition 40k!

On today’s episode we finalize our jump (for now) into the great 7th edition. Jumping around a bit between forge world hilarity, the great idea that was force org charts, and the destruction of said force org charts with formations. With some special focus on units that really made waves (and were subsequently banned). Enjoy!

On today’s episode we continue our dive into the great bogyman that was 7th edition of 40k, with a focus on the core mechanics. What has changed from 6th and what has changed the same. With an obvious focus on the new and brutal psychic phase of the game.

On today’s episode we go into the great boogyman that was 7th edition of 40k. Jumping in two feet first with allies (why would you ever write rules for here comes the apocalypse? Just why?) Then psychic power nightmares, flyers, rerolls, formations and more. Jump in this is hilarious and fun (only because we never have to play the edition ever again).

On today’s episode we spend more time on 6th edition the rules and units that made it what it was. From dumb terrain pieces like the fortress of redemption (was basically insta banned), to even worse flyer formations (good job Alan), and Forgeworld in general. Note* Forgeworld is a big issue in both 6th and 7th as the people over there went hog wild with the product. After that we spend time on the great concept but terrible idea challenges. But we do then talk a bit about the greatest Ork weapons of all time, the lifta droppa and custom stompa. From there we go over all the things that made melee in effect useless in the edition, and close out preparing for the great apocalypse that is 7th edition.
