Vanguard Tactics

Welcome to the Vanguard Tactics Podcast!

This is a podcast dedicated to the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop wargame, where we analyse the rules, new releases for the game, the competitive meta and develop strategies to help you become a more confident 40K player. 

Our founder is Stephen Box, a former professional bodybuilder, model, and fitness coach who has made it is personal mission to raise the standard of the game both on and off the table-top.  Stephen's focus both here and in his 40K coaching career, the Vanguard Tactics Academy, he emphasizes sportsmanship and fair play above winning at all costs.

Your host is Dave Kolmel, a combat veteran turned lawyer who has had a passion for the game of 40K since 1995.  Dave loves every aspect of the hobby, and loves talking about it with Stephen and the show's various guests, encouraging and spreading Stephen's motto of sportsmanship and fair play both on the podcast and at tournaments.

Come join us to learn about Warhammer 40,000, how to be a better player and opponent at the tabletop, and how to get the most out of this amazing hobby.
