Hello everybody. This week I had the pleasure of reviewing my Main Squeeze, the Darkest of Angels. And straight up it was very hard to stave off the disappointment. I was joined by John Lennon for the review as we are both passionate as all hell about this faction and we did our best to keep things positive, in the face of a faction that has seemingly lost it's mojo. Let's hope we are all wrong and some amazing build can be discovered in here but enjoy!Love Adam

I am joined by Aussie Legend Alexander Englezos for the review, this is a book with some spice but lacks depth overall, some very promising detachments and rules but overall the datasheets may be letting it down. Hope we left you with some great ideas moving forward!

Adam is joined by Aiden Smalley the plague lord of the current meta to review the stanky Death Guard Index. This really was a case of decent rules being wielded by pretty rough datasheets prior to the balance data slate which has re-invigorated the faction and allowed them to actually content with the top of the meta game. Aiden was an absolute gent on the podcast and a venerable wealth of knowledge. Hope you go and give him some love over at the disgustingly resilient podcast!
