Part 1 - Preparing for Worlds with Team America - 303.1

Hello my most richeous of crusaders! Here is the full review of the new Black Templars codex with the amazing Jack Harpster in for the episodes.
This is an interesting book, with powerful datasheets if the detachments themselves are a little sandboxed, rewarding overall and not without power but lacking a little diversity within the archetypes.
Jack and I run through the thang and give you all the hotness on where the mighty templars are headed in this 10th edition! 
Hope you enjoy!

Hello there lovely people. Here is the full codex review for one of my favourite factions, the Grey Knights!

Stuart Trainer joins me for the thang and assists in bringing the top level insights into this spicy, janky grey knight ruleset.

This book is interesting to say the least but at the end of the day mostly points us towards playing the same dang thing we have been all edition. But! Hope is not lost, for Purifiers shall save us from the DK all day archetypes.

I hope you enjoy!

Part 1 - Winning the Tountain West Open with Tau Durant Bozenni - 299.1

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
