It's back to retro times for the show as we check in on the Fish Cow Phenom Tau Codex!Kyle Grundy is rejoining us with big news about starting his own Tau based endeavors (Tau Discord Link https://discord.gg/e7fNpgKeCD )!We put this codex through the usual Down Under Retrospective paces, check it for depth, kindness to the player base and health prognosis moving into the Arks of Omen season!

This week Anthony Vanella literally choked out the competition to get himself on for the World Eaters Codex Review! We cover this book in all it's glory, all 6 pages of it! And we ain't even mad the journey is so brief, because what this book does, it does super well. Hope you enjoy!

Nick Nanavati interviews Jack Harpster following his LVO win!

Blake Law and Matt Morosoli interview John Defrank about his recent success with Votann!

This week I am joined by the Dusty one Dustin Henshaw to break down the last of the brave new world rules coming into full effect this week. We break down the document to the best of our ability and hopefully helped you all adjust to the wackiest changes to the game in some time.

We just snuck in with the last of the Interview at the top episodes in the week before the big dance at LVO X! This week I bring to you the boy king of Kraken himself, John Lennon, having been one of the most consistent competitors of the modern game with multiple top 5 ITC finishes. We talk about his journey so far this year, the highs and lows and deep dive into the psyche of the mad lad. In the pre-show this week there is an exciting announcement from the one and only Joshu Diffey bringing an amazing GW-affiliated Circuit to the Oceanic Region, I hope you enjoy!

This week I am joined by the Violent One himself, Anthony Vanella to review as many of the points changes as we can! There is a hell of a lot to unpack here and take into account, we do our best to be thorough and hit the highest points. Anthony is his usual awesomely fun self and we jump back and fourth from the old points and new to give the best context we can. Much love to you all Adam

Nick and Paul interview Mate Csazar about Emperor's Children!

It's happening, the ground is shifting and everything that was old is new again! Or so it seems, with sweeping buffs to Space Marines and many others with Tyranids and Harlequins getting buried, dug up, cremated then shot out of a cannon. I am joined by effervescent Aussie larrikin Matt Morosoli for this review! We go through the dataslate with a fine tooth comb to find as many gems as we are able and have an awesome time doing so! Hope you enjoy.

Nick Nanavati and Matt Morosoli talk about the wild west meta heading into LVO!

We continue the journey through the top ranks of the ITC this week with world No4 David Gaylard! This is a good old New Zealand lad that is slaying it over in the UK and had an amazing showing at the 2022 LVO. We talk journey in the past 12-months, life, meta and our thoughts on 40k moving forward. Apologies for any audio inconsistencies, we trialed a new recording software and it had some issues to iron out.

I am joined by my lovely Stats buddy Peter the Falcon to update our living faction ladder in the lead up to the end of this awesome ITC season! We chat about about the state of things, update you all with some new info regarding the podcast and deep dive those faction stats!

This week I am joined by one of my very favourite people, current ITC No2 rank Jack Harpster. We chat about his feelings on the current meta game, preperation in the lead up to the LVO, his journey so far and story in the game! It's a lovely chat and I hope my deep affection for the man shines through.

Brad and Hunter Nichols interview Jaime Paris about his recent success with Tyranids!

Nick and Paul interview Casey Glynn about his 5-0 run at Everwinter with Blood Angels!

This week we start the show a little differently, with a much censored little clip from a comedian calling me out to give them and the Uprising Major a shoutout! Apologies for all the bleeps, the script was obviously written by an aussie. But beyond that (if you make it) is a new series I will be doing in the lead up to the LVO and end of the 2022 ITC season, interviewing the top of the rankings! This week we start at the tip with an awesome interview with Vik Vijay, current No1 in the world and absolute gentleman. Was my pleasure to interview him and I hope his total class and integrity shine through! Please go check him and my mad lad David Gaylard out on 40k Fireside on YouTube. Much love as always Adam

This week I am joined by two amazing faction specialists and all round legends, Innes Wilson and Dustin Henshaw. We perform the medical on the GSC codex, nearly twelve-months after it's release and deep dive why this book is so damn good but never felt like it got to shine like it should have. These absolute gents keep me honest as there is so much to know and so much unknown about this codex. Hope you learnt as much as i did and find it an awesome listen!

Nick Nanavati and Paul Murphy interview James Kelling about his wraith eldar list!

This lovely week I returned from some amazing adventures in lovely New Zealand and I brought back a Custodes Faction Specialist with me! Michael Taylor joins me to complete the Custodes dex Retro, we do the usual thing, covering all the significant sections of the codex almost a year after it's initial release! This book should have been, could have been, almost was, one of the best of this edition. But unfortunately GW went and bad touched them in a very unique way that has left them leaning on Forgeworld once again for power (it's actually a meme at this point). But despite this the custodes have a decent matchup into a huge variety of opponents. Go support the Kraken lads out of Auckland too! Much love Adam

Brad solo interviews Sam Dayton about his Toledo team event Space Wolf list!

Time to wrap up the review for this long awaited, much beloved faction! I am joined by current No2 Ranked Astra Militarum player in the world Dirk Hryekewicz. We review the remainder of the codex, starting at the Warlord traits and going straight on through to some of the spicy new and or revamped datasheets! It's a great time and the passion doth overflow on a few occassions, but i hope you enjoy it thoroughly and the fun myself and Dirk had making this one is apparent. Also we get 2 relic pistols and a psychic power that draws a line?!? How did we get so luck #Blessed

Finally! Been a long 5+ year slog, but the good old 'Guard' finally has a freaking 9th edition codex! Adam is joined by John Lennon for this breakdown, covering the usual first half of a new dex, everything from the detachment abilities to tank aces and all inbetween! Some parts of this book (the stratagems) are easily on par with the best out there, whilst others (THE REGIMENTS) leave us a tad wanting. But we won't let that get in the way of the sheer HYPE Adam, John and many many others are feeling for this book. So sit down, strap yourselves in and get hammered by the emperor.

Hello one and all, the ancient and venerable Aledari Superfaction is getting put under the magnifying glass in this weeks episode! We have recorded segments with Ridvan 'Skari' Martinez and Chris Wright. Apologies in advance for my extra sultry tones, I have been really unwell lately and was glad I got something recorded for you all. My voice was barely hanging in there at times and I tried to mute myself for any and all coughing episodes. Hope it doesn't detract from a very cool episode otherwise! <3 Adam

It's time to get green and kind of getting mean. Orks might just be a sleeper in this new meta but it's hard to argue they were weak before when they literally won the last super major pre balance slate. Fortune favored us at AOWdu providing a superstar in the week prior to when this episode was scheduled to record with Ben Jurek winning the SoCal open with his Goff pressure list. He joins Adam for the Orks Retrospective! On first release this codex was deemed to be somewhat 'hollow' with one top tier build (Freebooters) and then a MASSIVE cliff to the next best thing, well that next best thing just so happens to be doing real good right now and Ben is here to tell us all about it! STAY TUNED at the end of the episode for an interview with Richard Siegler giving his updated thoughts on Votann post nerf and dataslate! Hope you enjoy! <3 Adam
