Stat Check (Stat Check)

WTC is here! The Warmasters kicks off in one week, and the WTC proper in 9 days! Join Jeremy, Innes, and Nathan as they explore the week in stats, discuss the WTC pod phase, and as they try not to get out-drafted by the audience in the annual WTC draft!

Innes, Nathan, and Jeremy are once again on the hunt for stats - how hard is it to get the various Blessings of Khorne? They discuss the odds, the challenges in predicting combinations, and whether you are ever truly blessed by Khorne. They also review the stats for Warhammer 40,000 events for the weekend of May 12-13, and take your questions.

In this episode Nathan, Pumba and Typhus talk about the past ITT, what we thought about the meta and what do we expect in terms of teams play moving forward into Pariah Nexus.

It's an unusual episode - as Anthony, Innes, and Jeremy are joined by the OG Stats Grandpappy - Peter "Falcon" Colosimo! It's also a show questions extravaganza - they discuss everything under the sun from the news about Henry Cavill to how you give yourself a nickname.

Nathan is joined by Innes and Anthony, fresh from their Coventry GT run, as they discuss the meta, what the UKTC gets right, what they get wrong, and how America can do better.

The stat heads are out this week on other business - so Innes and Anthony are running down the latest innovations in the comp scene post-MFM update. Anthony talks about his upcoming GT with Deceptors and how that army will (hopefully) play.

In this episode Typhus is joined by Nathan Roberts to dissect Team France lists and talk about their team composition.

Innes and Jeremy run a bit short on time in preparing for the WCoW so here's a little preview of what we're about to dive headfirst into!

They talk about the week in stats, the current meta, and what they're both looking forwards to at the first ever World Championships of Warhammer in Atlanta!

Innes, Nathan, and Jeremy are here this week to talk about the first weekend of events with Pariah Nexus (stats included!) and also to talk about what a WTC psyop is and what a WTC psyop isn't.

Stat Check's X and 1 is a show dedicated to players who are looking to be as successful as they can be given limited time - players who are also parents, busy professionals, folks with limited time on their hands - if this sounds like you, then this is your show! We go over lists that are relatively straightforward to play, quick to hobby, with a high potential performanc ceiling as you improve at the game. We also focus on expectation management given our constraints - Cliff and Tim are both working parents, and will be sharing their lessons learned on balancing their passion for the game with the demands of their off-table responsibilities.

"Unga Bunga" players, "Oops all Greater Demons", Ork Players, Knights players, "Aggressive" players - you are all welcome here. We cover list construction, in-game approaches, and hobby procedures from some of the best players in the world to ensure you have the best game experience possible while running the models you love."

For the first time in a long while (or ever?) the hosts are here to do a statistically-based (and somewhat feels influenced) Faction Ranking! Taking a look at the meta since the Q1 2024 dataslate at the end of January 2024 through to April 21, Innes, Nathan, and Jeremy are looking at who's performend and who's fallen flat (it's Deathwatch)!

If you'd like to look at the completed tier list - check this out: https://imgur.com/a/u9KrYUN

WTC lists are live! We bring Brian, Innes, and Jeremy together to talk about their takes on them and discuss a few interesting lists. Oh, we also have our first big Pariah Nexus stats snapshot and it is wild!

Pumba and Nathan do their first live show together, where they talk about the French Team Qualifier lists, and how the 8 man meta shapes up.

Innes, Anthony, and Jeremy are joined by Nathan as they recount their experience at the inaugaral World Championships of Warhammer. The good, the bad, and the silly. Oh and we look at the last two weeks in stats (Sisters won 3 events?!)

In this episode Pumba, Typhus, Innes and Violence share their Pyra Cup experience with discussions and conclusions from the tournament.

In this episode Typhus is joined by Nathan Roberts to dissect Team Germany lists and talk about their team composition.

Anthony flies solo for a bit then is joined by Jeremy and surprise guest Francois Lalonde from CanHammer. They talk about the recent Charity GT for the NFB, guard not being allowed at LVO, and take your questions.

We bagged ourselves a big one boys! Let's break down the Cascade Clash Major!

This episode has Tim and an intermittent Cliff joined by Canadian WTC player Francois Lalonde. The group discusses the challenges with playing at a top competitive level while balancing work, marriage, and raising two children.

It's a statsapalooza! Innes is off, so Jeremy joins forces with Nathan and they subject Anthony to an episode chock full of stats, guard discussions, and a whole bunch of mispronounced place names.

In this episode Typhus is joined by Pumba and John Lennon to dive deep into their teams pairing from WTC.

In this episode, Nathan, Typhus and Pumba dive into the topic of preparing for a team tournament, how to approach it, how to use external resources to help yourself.

The indexes have begun to arrive - and there's a lot to unpack. Join Innes, Anthony, Nathan, and Jeremy as they (briefly) review the Space Marine, Tyranids, and Chaos indexes released for 10th edition Warhammer 40,000.

(Note from Jeremy - we've put a pause on stats reporting as 9th edition is more or less irrelevant - we will restart it once we start getting 10th edition events in the coming weeks)

(Original air date 17 December)

Anthony's back from a perfect tournament performance and has some thoughts about Creations of Bile. The gang also reviews the latest in the Grotmas detachments

Enter the Matrix is a light-hearted look at the Warhammer 40,000 World Team Championships event, with a special focus on the team captains and the players. This episode has Anthony and Typhus interviewing Innes, the captain of Team Scotland.

It's the 4th of July so Anthony's off being patriotic. Innes, Nathan, and Jeremy commiserate over the first full weekend of 10th edition events, wherein 8 out of 10 events (GT+) were won by the same faction. Can you guess which?

Check out the show's sponsor, Red Dragon Comics, Cards, and Games in Ottawa, Canada: https://www.red-dragon.ca

The whole gang is together with the team's newest addition of Typhus! Join Innes, Anthony, Jeremy, Nathan, Cliff, and Typhus as they recap the year, answer your silly questions, and talk about the holidays and goals for next year.

Innes is back undefeated from the Manchester Supermajor; Jeremy is back undefeated from All is Dust; Anthony is chilling like a villain while he gets ready for Alpine Cup in the coming weeks.

All's well in the meta - or is it? The team discuss their events, take questions from you the listener, and address some of the hot button issues of competitive 40k this week.

This week we have Cliff and Nathan hosting as Anthony, Innes, and Jeremy are all representing their countries at the WTC. To replace the missing hosts we've brought on Alex Towse for a chat about math, stats, and whatever catches our fancy (probably mostly math and warhammer).

Here's a link to the Unitcrunch mathhammer tool we mention during this episode (which will let you look at distributions of results. https://www.unitcrunch.com/

On today's show, Innes, Nathan, and Jeremy welcome friend of the show TJ Lanigan on to talk about Chaos in general, share his tips for both playing with and against Chaos Daemons, and field your questions about the meta.

This week we have special guest (and Stat Check network member) Steve Joll, host of the podcast Champions of 40k and of the Breeze Wellington 94.1FM/98.5FM. Steve is here to talk about bringing back Champions of 40k, why he chose to join the Stat Check network, and why you start with the troops in an army when painting a new scheme.

The stat's boys are back! Nathan and Jeremy return to this week's show with a massive stats review of the first month of the 2024Q2 meta in Warhammer 40,000. What armies are in the top? Do World Eater's suck? What's wrong with T'au? All these questions and more answered tonight!

In this week's show, Innes is missing because Daylight Savings sucks, Nathan has the latest in competitive stats, Anthony is having fun with power level unit costs, and Jeremy talks about the recently announced Team Canada.

The crew talk about the "new" Dark Angels supplement, the T'au codex previews with the new Crisis Suit configurations, and take show questions from listeners.

Innes and Anthony fly solo without the support of the stats gurus. Innes talks about the recent 5-man teams event in Scotland that he attended. 

Also Innes finally opens the mystery box that was sent by our fine sponsors at the Red Dragon - https://www.red-dragon.ca - what could be inside?

Innes, Nathan, and Jeremy are here with a bumper crop of statistics in this second weekend of the first true 10th edition meta! They discuss the emerging trends, talk about the upcoming London Grand Tournament with over 750 players, and take your questions.

Typhus, Pumba and Nathan talk about current state of 8mans, how the game is doing, and how impactful Scrims are for your teams development.

LVO and ITC champion Jack Harpster joins the crew for the 2nd week in a row to recap his LVO run, discuss FLG terrain, and take your questions about Arks of Omen and what's next for him. Oh, and Nathan, Anthony, and Jeremy also recap their respective weekends.

Innes is back from LVO and free from his job! Innes, Anthony, and Jeremy talk about the early results of Arks of Omen, how the Imperial Guard are doing, and take your questions.

Innes is taking a well-deserved break from the show for a couple weeks so you're stuck with the (North) Americans. Nathan, Anthony, and Jeremy are here to talk about the final prep for Champions Cup, and how the meta feels to be in a bit of a doldrums. How do we shake it off?

(with apologies from Curie for the delayed upload)

Cliff and Tim are back to talk about the meta and their recent experiences with the game - also covering the surge in interest that Necrons and Custodes are seeing.

Typhus talks with David Gaylard (Dice Down), Mitch Beard (Team Iceland) and Pumba (Team Poland) about their prep for ITT (5 man team tournament) and how much their approach to this event differs from their regular UKTC events. 

While the world championships of warhammer rage on in Atlanta, let's talk about what else is going on--an we promise we won't switch back and forth between this and Age of Sigmar.

Nathan's away and so Jeremy gets to handle the stats segment!

Innes, Anthony, and Jeremy are here to discuss the latest happenings in competitive Warhammer 40k. They go over the week's 10th edition previews, talk about getting ready for their last events of the edition, and take your questions about their favourite moments of 9th edition.

It's a full cast episode! Innes, Nathan, Jeremy, and Anthony are here to talk about this week in Competitive stats, why Drukhari aren't great (but they are good!), and what the Stat Check team is bringing to Champions Cup!

In this episode Nathan, Pumba and Typhus will be taking a closer look at some of the list for the upcoming Alpine Cup Team Tournament, their preparation for the event and as always, answering some questions.

The whole crew is here and they're joined by special guest and Team Scotland member Brian Seipp!

Brian and Innes have returned from making top cut at the Manchester GT, Anthony returns victorious from All Is Dust, Nathan comes back from having a successful Adepticon Teams event, and Jeremy is just recovering from running All Is Dust.

Innes returns to the show, fresh from his victory at the 359-person, 9-round Warhammer 40,000 Grand Tournament at Warhammer Fest in Manchester.

The team goes over the week in stats, talks about the latest news for #new40k, and Innes discusses the more interesting moments in his 9-game undefeated run.

Nathan has returned from his exile in Seattle, and he's joined by Innes & Anthony as we enter into the final week before the World Team Championships of Warhammer 40,000!

Typhus and Nathan are joined by Vik Vijay, to talk about LGT and how the current meta aligns for teams.

Fresh from the US Chicago Open, Anthony and Nathan recount their experiences to Battle of Britain veteran Innes. 

Innes, Nathan, and Jeremy vamp on about the coming Arks of Omen (what we know), the LVO meta (what we wish we know), and what the meta will be like after LVO (what we have no clue about)!

Champions of 40k is a podcast that seeks to celebrate the people that make our hobby great. Hosted by Steve Joll. 

Tom Lowman, I am told, has the nicest voice in 40k. He's a hard working, lovely man who also happens to be a fantastic player and a great ambassador for our game. He hosts the 6+++ podcast, is a coach with the English WTC team, writes for Goonhammer and has othert podcasts on the go too!

In this episode Tom and I talk about history, and community, and streaming, and we even manage to chat quite a bit about 40k.  

This is the 6+++ youtube page.
