    Episode 32 – The Blood Angels 2nd edition to 7th edition, turns out invincible murder dreadnaughts are good.

    16/09/2026 | 33 mins.
    On today’s episode we explore the history of the Blood Angels on the tabletop. Starting with their original inception in 2nd edition (which is really the 1st edition). We then enjoy their 3rd edition double codex (where the second one had to be released to fix the errors of the first). But then move on to their greatest moments, the 4th edition white dwarf and the massively OP 5th edition codex. We then conclude on them falling to irrelevance in the 6th and 7th editions, due to just not being good enough allies (selfish Blood Angles).

    Episode 31 - Can lore accurate Chaos lists be competitive? Yes of course they can!

    02/09/2026 | 39 mins.
    On today's episode we talk about a few lore accurate lists for chaos that have both flavor, and wont get you just stomped if you take them to a GT. With Night Lords, Daemon Engines, Red Corsairs, and Black Legion. We also talk about who we think are the most lore necessary elements of each chaos army (why would you ever play T-sons without Ahriman after all).

    Episode 30 - Chaos Space Marines in 8th, 9th and 10th editions.

    19/08/2026 | 41 mins.
    On today’s episode we talk more about chaos through the ages with a continuation into 8th, 9th, and 10th editions of the game. With the additions of the Death Guard, Thousand Sons, World Eaters, and now Emperor’s children to the game. Talking about the crazy Chaos soup of 8th edition, and the still crazy but less so combos of 9th. Then how they stacked up as solo factions as GW removed soup from the game.

    Episode 29 - Chaos Space Marines and why we all love them pt 1. Codex 3.5 and more.

    05/08/2026 | 38 mins.
    On today’s episode we start talking about the bad guys of 40K that everyone actually loves Chaos Space Marines. Their initial journey as the original antagonists of 40K but then their real glow up with Chaos 3.5 and how that exploded them into the scene. Was it the greatest codex every written? Probably yes. From there we dive more deeply into some fun stories around chaos armies and lists from 3rd  through 7th editions and laugh at some lets call them rules “oversights.”

    Episode 28 - Wait people also hate eldar? How come? pt2

    22/07/2026 | 44 mins.
    On today’s episode we go into the nightmare Eldar editions. Starting of course with Ynnari and the hilarious amount of attempts by GW to fix that mess, only to just throw the whole thing in the dumpster in the end. Then the great Harlequin fiasco of 9th edition, the only time anyone ever saw void weavers. And of course the greatest of them all the launch of 10th edition, and likely the most over powered army in the history of 40k.
