Apologies for the episode late in the day, Adepticon and scheduling made a meal of things this week. But fear not! Adam is back for his foray into competition and is being joined by Stuart Trainer, No 1 Grey Knight player in Australia for 2021 and the gentleman who assisted in the initial review of the codex. He is a faction specialist through and through and has a wealth of experience with the dex. Hope you enjoy the show! Special thanks to anyone and everyone who came and said hello during Adepticon, was my absolute honor to meet you. -Love Adam

Another week, another fabulous guest joining us to break down an index.

This week we are joined by the archon formerly known as Skari, now going by Overlord Skari, Ridvan Martinez!

He is a faction specialist with all the tricks in his bag, the knowledge and the passion. Hope you enjoy our take as we work our way through this index. It seems to be one with fantastic rules, but possibly lacking a depth of units with which to weild them,

Apologise for the late release this week, hope you are all well and happy!

It's an interesting thing to unpack, with essentially all the rules 'siloed' into the detachments, making things easier to balance for sure, but you feel somewhat forced into certain builds and even hard skews at times. Regardless of that this thing has play and lots of it Can't wait to see what the hive minded out there make of it!

This week Adam is joined by a intrepid due of Zoanthropes from the great white north, Dustin (Dusty-1) Henshaw and Alex (Maccy D) MacDougall for a State of the Superfaction Episode for the mighty Forces of the Hive Mind! We discuss their journey in 9th edition so far, how things stand now competitively for GSC/Nids/Forces Soup and chat a tad about possible Brood Brothers spice possibly coming in a few months (Fingers Crossed). Both these gents are a great time and offer an amazing wealth of expertise on the superfaction they love so much. So I hope you enjoy!

Hello lovelies, this week I record two poignant segments, first up is with the Scared One himself Skari, who as a faction specialist is an expert on adapting and countering the meta. 

Second segment is with one of the great minds of 40k, Pumba of Team Poland, who captained his nation to victory at the WTC last year. 

We talk how to counter and work into a hostile meta, adapting and identifying ways to eke back a bit of value when times are tough. 

Hope you love it!

This week we cover one of the rising stars of the meta, the mighty sisters of battle. I am joined by lovely gents Mitch Beard and Scott Ketcham for the venture into the depths of the Minisotrum.

We get stuck into our usual review process but highlight the things that are causing a resurgence in the faction post-dataslate and why you shouldn't be napping on the nuns. 

Adam is joined by Da Oldest of Warbosses Rich Killton, current Number 1 Ork player in the ITC! We review all the way through the strats and stop at the WLT's, it's a pretty spicy book but a little off the center for what we usually expect for orks, which makes it exciting as hell!

Apologies if this episode isn't as clean or polished as you usually expect from AOWdu, our editor is taking a well deserved holiday and this was done to the best of our meger abilities without him!

Adam and Liam turn back the clock to the old days of AOWdu and pull out a near 3 hour marathon review of the entire Thousand Sons Codex! This is a truly deep book with layers upon layers of amazing new and old rules. Hope you enjoy it as much as Liam and i loved recording it! And may THRYDDERGHYRE shine upon you!

Nick Nanavati interviews Jack Harpster following his LVO win!

Join Blake Law and Nick Nanavati as they interview Jack Harpster about his recent game using Sisters of Battle vs Drukhari.  In part two, Jack breaks down his strategy, and how he plans to implement changes moving forward with Sisters of Battle.

Hello denizens of the warp! I am joined by the World No1 Daemon player in the ITC for a review of all 4 grotmas detachments that seriously change the game and prospects for all chaos players out there. 

These things are some of the best they gave us for Grotmas and I am willing to say, do more for Daemons than any other grotmas release (mostly because there are 4 of the thangs).

Hope you enjoy the review!

Blake Law and Nick Nanavati interview Jack Harpster regarding his recent 5-1 performance with Blood Angels at Crucible!  In part one, we discuss his game vs Grey Knights vs Nick Nanavati, and the mistakes he may have made during the game!

In this new and exciting time for warhammer 40k we depart from our typical show style to interview Jeffrey Kolodner, a long time Adepta Sororitas master. Nick and Jeff break down the changes from the Minotorum Field manual, the Balance Dataslate, and the new codex, and what they mean for the faction.

Delayed episode this week as Liam Hackett and I eagerly awaited the points drops before recording! But here it is, the Metal Men Codex Review.

For the first time this edition we have seen the index playbook completely re-written in the codex form, as the Necrons morph from a durability check silver tide into a multi faceted faction with depth and detachments. 

Hope you enjoy the journey! Part 2 should be out this time tomorrow! Apologies for the delay in release, life gets in the way sometimes.

<3 Adam 

This week we start the show a little differently, with a much censored little clip from a comedian calling me out to give them and the Uprising Major a shoutout! Apologies for all the bleeps, the script was obviously written by an aussie. But beyond that (if you make it) is a new series I will be doing in the lead up to the LVO and end of the 2022 ITC season, interviewing the top of the rankings! This week we start at the tip with an awesome interview with Vik Vijay, current No1 in the world and absolute gentleman. Was my pleasure to interview him and I hope his total class and integrity shine through! Please go check him and my mad lad David Gaylard out on 40k Fireside on YouTube. Much love as always Adam

Apologies for the late episode but LVO left Adam a dull boy. This week we are joined by Matt Morosoli, recently coming in 2nd at the Uprising Super Major in Australia! We review all 9 of the brand new Strikeforce 2022 missions from Chapter Approved! Some are great, some are boring and some are perfect. Apologies for the brain fades, fatigue is a hell of a thing.

Adam is back with one of his favourites, Mitch Pelham! He is here to tell you why Soup isn't dead, whilst unpacking the journey for the Imperium Superfaction and giving them a medical examination. They are a really varied bunch at the moment, Sisters are starting to languish with guard at the bottom of the meta, whilst custodes continue to smash their heads against the top and everything in between!

In this week's episode Nick interviews fellow Art of War coach Ridvan Martinez, also known as Archon Skari! Skari is fresh off the back of a major tournament win with Drukhari. Skari breaks down his latest list after the balance data slate which he used to take down the tournament.

In part two of the show, available to our patrons deep dive into all of the rounds Skari played. We get very specific about his match ups, and how to face various opponents!

Time to get stompy and richeous in here! First half of the Imperial Knights codex for review, being joined by Anthony Vanella for this and Every. Other. Knight. Review. Episode. For the next month! I had hoped there was enough time in the day for us to review this codex in one episode, but alas, GW did a great job of adding depth and layers upon layers of buffs and synergy into this book. I can't say it's broken or at any level comparable to the recent craziness, but it's solid, well rounded (for what it is) and i think exactly where we want a 9th edition codex to be. Hope you enjoy!

Adam is joined by 'The Killtank' Richard Killton and Seth 'Mad Doc' Oster for the review of all the Ork goodness, that being the Blood Axe suppliment and the fearsome Speed Freek Army Or Renown! It's good stuff guys and the hope is there is enough there to put some 'meat on the bone' for ork players and not have an entire faction defined by one list.

Hello you wonderful community you, happy holidays!

This week i am joined by Skari and the Dusty one to discuss the year that was, what we loved and loathed, highs and lows and much more!

I know this time of year can be rough for many, so this weeks ep is coming out a day early, in hope that if everything else is going rough out there for you, hopefully the lads and I can bring you a bit of joy <3

G'day everyone, welcome to this weeks show where myself and Peter the Falcon discuss the state of the great game of 40k, we talk LVO meta, what needs to change in the next balance slate and tons of other nonsense. Enjoy!

Here we are with another index review, this time the hammer of the imperium, Imperial Guard are getting their due. I am joined again by David Gaylard after coercing him to join me for the Marines review a few weeks back!

This episode was uploaded prior to the current balance slate by GW so some of the points discussed are incorrect, but none of the archetypes have changed in our estimation and the info and units we highlighted are still top shelf. 

Make sure you go check out 40k Fireside (youtube.com/@firesidepodcast997)for some awesome competitive content!

Nick Nanavati interviews Matt Lorah, the Las Vegas Open Warhammer 40k champion! We talk about Matt's army list, his play style, and how he became the champion.

This lovely week I returned from some amazing adventures in lovely New Zealand and I brought back a Custodes Faction Specialist with me! Michael Taylor joins me to complete the Custodes dex Retro, we do the usual thing, covering all the significant sections of the codex almost a year after it's initial release! This book should have been, could have been, almost was, one of the best of this edition. But unfortunately GW went and bad touched them in a very unique way that has left them leaning on Forgeworld once again for power (it's actually a meme at this point). But despite this the custodes have a decent matchup into a huge variety of opponents. Go support the Kraken lads out of Auckland too! Much love Adam
