    Episode 19 - 9th edition: yeah so the Tyranid codex was a bit much, but the Ork Buggie list was AMAZING!!

    18/03/2026 | 46 mins.
    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!

    04/03/2026 | 40 mins.
    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.

    Episode 17 - 8th edition busted parts, command points, overlapping auras, overpowered units, and of course the Iron Hands

    18/02/2026 | 48 mins.
    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.

    Episode 16 - 8th edition the core rules have some MASSIVE changes to the game

    04/02/2026 | 51 mins.
    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).

    Episode 15 - 8th edition arrives to save the game pt 1 - initial reactions and some oopsies

    21/01/2026 | 43 mins.
    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!
