Descripción

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

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

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.

Episode 22 - Is corporate 40k bad for the game?

On today’s episode we start by talking about Adepticon and then go way off the rails into something much more interesting. We jump into a real discussion about how the uniformity of 40k is making the game more dull. We discuss how much better the game is with unbalanced boards, weird weapons, and silly mechanics. And how it actually makes the game more tactical and more interesting, as opposed to a scripted thing it is turning into now.

Episode 21 - The History Adepticon pt 1 - The beginnings of Adepticon

On today’s episode we decided to switch and talk about Adepticon. After all we had just been there and it was epic and fun. On this episode we go back to the original Adepticons starting in 2003 and going through the mid teens. Focusing on the tournament’s growth and expansion. And how they added to and expanded upon their format in that time.
