10th faction focus - Ep. 24
Hey All,
Welcome back to Episode 24 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite.
We've got a back-to-backer for you this week. Whilst we've primarily been focussing on 9th edition, we have been keeping a little eye on the 10th edition previews and the rules leak. Tune in to listen to our early takes and speculations (and please keep in mind we don't have the full picture yet, so our early takes may be way off the mark come full release next month!).
As always, enjoy, let us know what you think and see you by the Fireside,
Dave & Vik

Ignite @ Birmingham Team Tournament - Ep. 23
Hey All,
Welcome back to Episode 23 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite.
This episode focuses on the upcoming huge 300+ person Birmingham GT, a 5-man Team Tournament hosted by the UKTC. This event uses a fixed terrain format with the balanced UKTC layouts and mission order, resulting in a more singles-type meta.
This is our first outing as Team Ignite to a team event and we've brought a strong 5-man team with the aim to do our best at this one! Tune in to hear about the lists that we're bringing as well as discussing some of the top teams in attendance, including the mighty Team England (who win every one of these events!).
As always, enjoy, let us know what you think and see you by the Fireside,

Deathwatch Deep Dive w/ Jokull! - Ep. 22
Hey guys,
Vik is away for this one, but After the Warhammer Fest Tournament we wanted to have a chat with our teammate Jokull because he placed very well at an absolutely stacked tournament with none other than DEATHWATCH!
Deathwatch has been a bit of a meme recently, boasting one of the lowest win rates (34% at one point?), so given the new changes to the faction, is it actually any good?
Jokull is a member of team Iceland, a fantastic player and an absolute gent and has lots to offer if you're an aspiring Deathwatch player!
Enjoy!
Jokull and Dave,

Warhammer Fest IGNITE'd - Ep. 21
Hey All,
Welcome back to Episode 21 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite.
This weeks episode focuses on the 360-person Warhammer Fest Super-Major last weekend, which saw 5/6 of Team Ignite attending, with 3 of our players (Chris Radford, Brian Seipp and Dave) making it into the top 16 cut for day 3 of the event.
As the first Games Workshop Open Terrain event to take place in the UK, we spend the first section of the episode discussing our thoughts on the terrain and event as a whole, as well as compare it against the UKTC format that we're used to.
We then focus on Dave's incredible run through the event, going 8-0 with his innovative Astra Militarum list, before taking a narrow defeat in the finals to finish in 2nd place! (To the wonderful Innes Wilson of StatCheck - congrats!)
As always, enjoy, let us know what you think and see you by the Fireside,

Dataslate Hot-Takes! - Ep. 20
Hey All,
Welcome back to Episode 20 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite.
We finally got the last Dataslate of 9th Edition! We dedicate the majority of this episode on discussing the impact on the meta from the various changes in the dataslate and go through why we think it didn't do quite enough to really mix things up (How did Desolation marines survive?!).
We also do a dive into our games at the London Open, a UKTC Major from last weekend as well as run through our initial thoughts about the massive Warhammer Fest event coming up at the end of the month.
As always, enjoy, let us know what you think an see you by the Fireside,
Dave & Vik
