Ave Imperator sisters, the Emperor has truly blessed his most faithful! The new codex is here!!

We also praise the Emperor for the return of John Lennon, who joins us for a three hour pil...

Mitch and Scott invite Vik Vijay onto the show once again, fresh from his glorious win at the 260 player Oxford UKTC supermajor.

Nick Nanavati of Art of War comes to Sister Act 40k!  Nick has been playing sisters for some time as part of his practice for Team USA as well as for his "Finding the Faith" series in the Art of War War Room.  Join Mitch and Scott as we hear about his development with the faction, thoughts on the current meta, and his very unique approach to list building and play style.

What's this, a meta-pun title?  This must mean only one thing - it's dataslate review time!  Mitch and Scott tag team a review of all the dataslate content - what's changed, who has been newly blessed by the Emperor, and who needs to go back to the convent for remedial prayers.  There's a lot of exciting change on the horizon for the daughters of the Emperor, and I hope you are as excited as we ar...

Congratulations to our amazing host Scott Ketcham for his incredible top 16 finish at LVO, including a 6-0 run to the knockout round!  Mitch interviews Scott on his amazing performance, the list and tactics that took him there, and Scott's latest take on how to play sisters at the highest of levels.  Well done!

Mitch and Scott invite Jack Tite onto the show!  Jack is a formidable player in the UK scene who has been crushing it with sisters, most notably with a 5-0 run at the Leicester major in December as part of a 16-0 streak in GTs as of recording time.  We talk about Jack's double-battle-sister list, how he plays the faction generally, and the tactical genius of the rapid ingressing immolator.  Enjoy!...

Sister Act 40k continues our exciting new series post-dataslate where we invite on ever more x-0 Canonesses to talk about their lists, what unique takes they have on the faction, and how they thrashed their foes on a relentless march to victory.  For this episode we have managed to land the absolutely extraordinary Vik Vijay, of the Fireside 40k podcast, WTC Team England, and Team Ignite.  Enjoy t...

It's trash collection day!  Sister Act 40k welcomes veteran guest McWerp aka Brendan McKenzie back to the show to celebrate his recent 5-0 run at the Kipper's Melee GT.  Brendan wrote a completely unique list based heavily on mass volumes of units to overwhelm his opponents and flood the board with the faithful.  We talk about this brand new sisters archetype, how McWerp came up with the idea, how...

Sister Act 40k welcomes newly minted 40k legend Jeff Kolodner to the show, who recently took the top spot at the official Warhammer GT in Tampa last month.  Jeff had to fight his way to an 8-0 finish, including through three Art of War coaches for his last 3 games, and he did so in style.  We talk about Jeff's completely out-of-left-field list, how it works, and how he piloted it successfully at o...

It's the (sort of) 50th episode of Sister Act!  Rob and Mitch reminisce about our favorite (aka weirdest) moments of the show to date, and then break down Mitch's recent 4-1 run at LGT with the Sororitas (like he'd ever take anything else?).  Thank you to everyone for listening to our wacky little show for the past 50 episodes, and looking forward to the next 50 to come!

EDIT: now with fixed audio, apologies! For this episode Mitch finds himself Robless, but happily is still able to find thrice-blessed content for the most faithful of podcast listeners.  Mitch invites Team Poland and WTC legend Typhus onto the show to talk sisters in 10th, the meta, list archetypes we like, and review some of the high performing lists after the dataslate.  Enjoy!

It's dataslate time!  Mitch, Rob, and first-time guest Danny McDevitt review the huge balance update from Games Workshop.  We cover the changes to the game overall, how we expect the top factions to change, and of course our beloved ladies.  Join us as we faithfully pray over our sacred index in search of the Emperor's blessings in this new age of Warhammer 40k.  Happy flailing!

Note: this is NOT the dataslate review episode!  That one is recorded and already in editing, so stay tuned! After making it through the absolute maelstrom that was WTC preparation and the event itself, Mitch is back with Rob to talk all about his experience with team Iceland!  Rob interviews Mitch on WTC overall, his experiences at the event, and learnings to carry forward for the sisterhood.

Welcome back esteemed guest James Shapiro to Sister Act!  We move on from the hottest of takes in the last episode to ice cold takes in this one now that we all have practice with the new ruleset.  Listen to James, Rob, and Mitch talk about their lists, experiments, and James' successful recent 4-1 run at a GT.  Ave imperator!

IT'S INDEX TIME!!  For this much-anticipated episode, Mitch and Rob had no choice but to welcome back a guest most blessed and beloved by the Emperor.  None other than Saint John Lennon himself returns to tackle a monster 3-hour episode.

Also our deepest apologies - this should have gone out 2 weeks ago but I just realiz...
