Preferred Enemies - A Warhammer 40K Podcast

11th Edition is almost here, with less than a week before its official release! In this episode, we discuss the releases in the last two weeks, including the core rules, the faction packs, and the event guides. We delve into what's included, what's still missing, the first pre-launch errata, and our thoughts on the app-centric nature of the new edition.

We now know what's in the box! The full contents of Armageddon have been revealed, and we have thoughts. In part one, we go through all the contents and discuss what's included, what's not included, the surprises, and which faction got the best minis (spoiler - it's the Orks). Then, in part two, we dig through the first week of Faction Focuses, look at the new detachments for 6 different armies, and see if we can figure out how much the edition is changing from the bits of info inside.

The reports of his death were only slightly exaggerated, but Commissar Yarrick has returned! In this episode, we take a look at the new Return of Yarrick narrative supplement, as well as the Armoured Gauntlet rules supplement. Has Yarrick arrived just in time to save Armageddon again? And will we get a kit for his custom Baneblade? Are the expanded vehicle rules too little, too much, or just right? And of all the narrative supplements, which one is our favorite? Also, we work through the various 11th Edition rules reveals and try to piece together what this means for how the game will play and how it might affect your armies!

15 years ago today, we released our first episode on the internet. That's been 350 episodes ago, and we've come a long way since then, but every journey starts with a single step. That inaugural episode was all about getting started! Rob, Dennis, Richard, and original host Jon tackled the subject of how to get started in Warhammer 40K. We discussed how we got started in the game, and various aspects of getting into the game for the first time - picking an army, getting the minis, and learning to play. Things were vaguely complicated by recording during a thunderstorm, but we managed to hit all the bases without getting electrocuted. The equipment was primitive, and the sound quality is rough, but everything that came after is because of this little episode.
