The History of 40k

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.

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.

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.

On today’s episode we pivot over to a new style and decide to talk about the Grey Knights over the ages. From their original appearance in rogue trader (as terminator models only) through 2nd edition expansion (of more terminator models). Then we cover one of the move influential codexes Daemonhunters in 3rd edition where they got their first expansion (along with GW trying out some new rules). Then we cover their first codex in 5th edition, which was busted AF. From there we dive into how the Grey Knights have evolved over the years. With some very good, and less good play styles (8th and 9th were very up and down). Along with how we think they should be adjusted to play more in line with their lore.

On today’s episode close out our coverage of the editions of 40k with trip down the power creep that was 9th edition. Talking through the many busted codexes, and how they reshaped the meta. With an especial focus on the nightmare that was the tyranid codex release, and the joy that was the ork buggy release! As well as some fun hits on Drukhari, chaos, and some more. In retrospect we totally forgot about the harlequins, sorry!
