Art of War - The Competitive 40k Network

Happy New Year one and all! Kicking off this year with the bloodiest of mad lads, Anthony Vanella, who joins us to break down his breakout performances with the World Eaters Index.

Hello you wonderful community you, happy holidays!This week i am joined by Skari and the Dusty one to discuss the year that was, what we loved and loathed, highs and lows and much more!I know this time of year can be rough for many, so this weeks ep is coming out a day early, in hope that if everything else is going rough out there for you, hopefully the lads and I can bring you a bit of joy <3

Part 2 is free this week for all! Hope it brings you some laughs and joy this time of year. <3 <3

Adam is joined by Peter the Falcon to update the 40k Competitive Faction Ladder for the end of 2023!

011010101000101011That's right people, it's time for the canticles of the omnissiah to be chanted and the rites completed. The Adeptus Mechanicus Codex has arrived. 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!

Delayed episode this week as Liam Hackett and I eagerly awaited the points drops before recording! But here it is, the Metal Men Codex Review.For the first time this edition we have seen the index playbook completely re-written in the codex form, as the Necrons morph from a durability check silver tide into a multi faceted faction with depth and detachments. Hope you enjoy the journey! Part 2 should be out this time tomorrow! Apologies for the delay in release, life gets in the way sometimes.<3 Adam

Hello everyone! This week we check in with the dusty ones all thousand of them. I am joined by Brian Seipp. Who at the time of this podcast release has just finished playing this faction at the world championships of whammer! Hope you all caught some of the coverage and enjoy the show!

This week I am joined by a gent who Captained Team America, won Nova Open and invitationals and was one of THE names in 40k during the erstwhile days when I was first sinking my teeth into comp 40k, Andrew Gonyo!We disseminate the World Champs of Warhammer coming up this week, discuss the event, pod format and then go through each group chatting about what factions are present and the whose who of top players attending (all of them are top players tbf).Hope you enjoy the listen!

This week I am joined by an incredible pairing of Australian Champions with Chris Wright and Matt Morosoli jumping in to discuss the missions of 10th edition. Unlike our usual review format this is a bit more relaxed and we discuss the state of things from an overall point of view, rather than reading out each in turn.Hope it is a refreshing change of pace for you all and thanks for the amazing support.<3

This week we cover one of the rising stars of the meta, the mighty sisters of battle. I am joined by lovely gents Mitch Beard and Scott Ketcham for the venture into the depths of the Minisotrum.We get stuck into our usual review process but highlight the things that are causing a resurgence in the faction post-dataslate and why you shouldn't be napping on the nuns.

With the greenskins in the zenith this time of year, we looked to their index for some inspiration for a hopeful resurgence in competitive play!I am joined by Lukas Troller and Tyler Russo for the review, and amazingly these men represent the Gork and Mork facets of the book perfectly, bringing both kunnin and brutal insights to the review.Hope you love it! Please go and support these fine big un's over at:bestinfaction.libsyn.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@billiondollarclownfarm

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!

Week two of the spicy new space marine codex concludes with the boy king John Lennon himself joining us for another episode! We break down the remaining 3 detachments in depth and discuss the notable datasheets!This episode was recorded prior to the points updates also, so please keep that in mind.Hope you enjoy!

The God Emperor has bestowed on us a new Marines Dex with 6 (Gladius doesn't count) brand new ways to field our beloved and totally entirely maligned (sarcasm) faction. I am joined by the WMD of Australian 40k Big Will Milton (Big Willy M) for the first week of the review! We chat all things marines and pontificate on the viability of the first 3 detachments, in addition to the changes to Oaths of Moment. Regardless of the changes and loss of some units I am crazy excited by this codex and the depth of unit choices it brings to my beloved faction.I hope you are too

G’day there all you humanoid beings, this week the stunties express their displeasure and get upon the grudging. We are reviewing the Votann Index with amazing Aussie lad Oliver Johnson!Oli J/OJ is a wealth of knowledge having gone 6-2 with the short kings pre balance slate and is well and truly devoted to these mining magnates.

Welcome one and all to another amazing faction ladder episode! Peter the Falcon is back in the hot seat to give us the low down on where your faction resided during the pure Index portion of 10th edition 40k!There is a lot here that is expected and known but legitimate surprises too. So wet a brush or prime those mini's cos 10th edition is just getting started.

Oh boy, it feels like 10th edition just started with the holistic shakeup brought upon by this week's balance dataslate.I am joined by the wonderful Matt Morosoli for the review and he and I walk through all the changes coming down the pipe. There is a lot and we tried to cover everything we could think of at the time and speak to our thoughts on the points changes for each faction.Hope you enjoy!

NEW Balance Dataslate with Quinton Johnson

Here it is! The very first codex review of 10th edition!I am joined by the amazing duo of John Lennon and Matt Robertson! These two legendary gents steer me and you through this first look at what we can expect from 10th edition moving forward!It's an interesting thing to unpack, with essentially all the rules 'siloed' into the detachments, making things easier to balance for sure, but you feel somewhat forced into certain builds and even hard skews at times. Regardless of that this thing has play and lots of it Can't wait to see what the hive minded out there make of it!

Another week, another fabulous guest joining us to break down an index.This week we are joined by the archon formerly known as Skari, now going by Overlord Skari, Ridvan Martinez!He is a faction specialist with all the tricks in his bag, the knowledge and the passion. Hope you enjoy our take as we work our way through this index. It seems to be one with fantastic rules, but possibly lacking a depth of units with which to weild them,Apologise for the late release this week, hope you are all well and happy!

This week I arrived home and immediately hit up Pumba and Majson of Team Poland who won the World Team Championships this last week. We discuss the event in depth, their preparation, list and lineup construction and their run to the top spot!These two gentlemen are connoisseur of team 40k and exemplify everything awesome about the format. So I hope you enjoy this lengthy discussion and join me in conratulating Team Poland in their victory!

I am homeward bound from the WTC but the content train cannot be stopped!This week Sam Procopio joins me to dissect the Thirst and Rage bound Blood Angels Index. This is uhhh not the nicest meta for the loyalist red angry boi's but we try to stay positive and keep the conversation to where the good stuff resides!Hope you enjoy.

Hello wonderful people, this week i am very excited to have my first ever South African player on the show. He is representing his nation THIS WEEK in the WTC in South Africa's first ever attendance at the event. So all things I (and hopefully you) are super passionate about.His name is Kyle MacKintosh and as you have read above he is pioloting the pretty darn solid Necrons. Not only is Kyle a mad lad but he knows his stuff so strap in for another awesome review and chat.
