    Episode 27 - Wait people also eldar? How come? pt1

    08/07/2026 | 36 mins.
    On today’s episode we jump into the Eldar over the editions. Opening with their addition to the game in 2nd and then the growth of their dominance from there. With their standard combination of busted and unfair core rules. As well as their always fun ways to play the game just differently from everyone else. Yay space elves!

    Episode 26 - Orks pt 2, shooty orks can get a little OP at times

    24/06/2026 | 38 mins.
    On today’s episode we continue talking about the greatest of all the factions in the game of 40K the Orks! With a trip down memory lane into the glory that was 8th edition orks. Dakka Dakka Dakka, shock attack guns, and buggies. We then move onto 9th edition where buggies might have gotten a little OP during (it was still fun though) and of course close out on 10th edition with another lesson learned on Dakka, but more importantly the super fun of the army then.

    Episode 25 - Are the Orks the most fun army in 40k?

    10/06/2026 | 41 mins.
    On today’s episode we decide to talk about our greatest love in the game the orks. Starting from their beginnings from the 80’s, before Alan was alive, and when Brad was in high school (he is very old). And then run through the eras and how even from the on-set they were more fun that other armies. With wild and stupid rules that were fun (and sometimes oppressive) but always memorable.

    Episode 24 - Why does everyone hate Tau pt2, 8th edition did not help Tau's cause.

    27/05/2026 | 37 mins.
    On today’s episode we finish up on the Tau, with a focus on their reign of terror in 8th edition. Shield drones were just dumb. How they worked and why the player base still hates them to this day. From there we jump into a big shift to 9th edition where they find a much more traditional way to be a huge pain in everyone’s a**. We then close out with 10th edition, where Tau have been quite average (in a good way) with a much better variety of play styles (while enjoying great success without being oppressive).

    Episode 23 - Why does everyone hate Tau pt1, its a long story

    13/05/2026 | 39 mins.
    On today’s episode we start our coverage of the most controversial faction: the TAU! Their initial launch into the game. And the immediate controversies that launched against them. How the line evolves from 3rd to 4th and more (with some white dwarfs and forgeworld). From there we go into the way they played on the table top and how that created even more enemies for the Tau Players. We then close out with the 7th edition allies that really pushed the limits on Tau.
