40K Fireside

Welcome back to Episode 41 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite. It’s been a while but Vik is back to catch-up with Dave on the latest 40K super majors we’ve attended (Coventry and Leicester) and how we got on. We focus on our main take aways from these tournaments and the lessons we continue to learn on how to be better competitive 40K players. With t...

Hey there everyone, trying a new thing this time :) Thought I'd cover the new Necrons release! I've been a Necron fan for alittle while and they're an army I really enjoy - mainly because I enjoyed reducing the amount of fun my opponent had! Hope you guys like the new format, and sorry about that scrolling ticker the entire time. Feedback would be really appreciated so we could improve...

Recap of the WCW :)

Welcome back to Episode 38 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite. It's been a bit quiet on the 40K scene as we close in on the Warhammer World Championship in Atlanta next weekend - with Team Ignite sending almost the entire team across, we catch up on what we've been practicing since LGT and where are minds are at regarding the current meta. Da...

Welcome back to Episode 37 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite. We've got special guest Liam VSL of Team Ignite with us for this episode who, this past weekend, became the 2023 LGT Champion. We could not be more happy for his success as we've long held the opinion that Liam VSL is one of the most technically gifted / talented players in the wo...

Hey All, Welcome back to Episode 36 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite. We've had our first balance dataslate of 10th Edition which has brought a whole host of game-wide rules changes and impactful points changes across the entire range of armies. We've taken the past few weeks to practice and gather our thoughts on where we think things will...

Hey All, Welcome back to Episode 35 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite. There's little argument to be had that the singles meta isn't in the best spot at the moment , but there's hope in the form of a Balance Dataslate in September! We've got the talented Brian Seipp of Team Ignite on as a guest today to discuss our thoughts on the me...

CROWDFUNDING - Liam VSL, a member of Team Ignite, Team Belgium and one of the best players in the world is currently crowd funding in order to be able to attend the World Championships in Atlanta (he's a student currently and wouldn't be able to attend otherwise).

Hey All, Welcome back to Episode 33 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite. With the secrecy of WTC list submission behind us and everything in the open now, we're finally able to share some more of the details of what we've been up to over the past month. We're both attending our first WTC (World Team Championship) this year, Vik with Team E...

Hey everyone, I'm joined by Typhus this week! He's a legend in the Polish scene, he's a previous UKTC judge, content creator on Enter the Matrix and an all round wizard when it comes to 40k. We're chatting about the WTC this episode, and trying to close the gap between people who aren't so familiar with it. Hopefully you'll learn about the WTC here, and find it useful to us...

Hey everyone, Apologies if I'm a little tied on this one, I'm joined by the lovely Liam Hackett from Team Australia at 6:30AM I was really impressed with Liam, he's a really down to earth, smart and very experienced 40k player. He's made me reflect on a lot of things going into the WTC and some things that I hope I'm going to implement when we pair against each other round 1 at...

Hey everyone, Vik is back! We're going to be doing a quick recap of the FAQ, how it effects armies, what's involved, and what has maybe been missed. After that we're going through some recent indicator results of the meta - with some caveats! - then Dave is chatting about the London Open tournament he's playing and the Necrons list he's rocking! Dave and Vik

Hey everyone, Vik's on holiday so Dave is joined by Jokull and they're going through their views on how all of the current armies stack up. "Apparently" there's supposed to be an FAQ coming along, so hopefully this looks slightly more balanced but for now there's a clear winner. Some of the army placements might surprise you, just because we have them in a bracket doesn&#...

[Apologies in advance for the high rant levels in this one - we try our best to stay balanced, but it does get a little heated!] Hey All, Welcome back to Episode 28 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite. 10th Edition has landed with indexes for the factions, points cost and the core rules all out. Change and particularly development is vital for the gam...

Hey All, Welcome back to Episode 27 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite. We open up this episode with a quick chat/discussion on our thoughts regarding the decision of the Bugeater GT to pre-emptively ban Aeldari at their 10th Edition tournament (we're a little more positive than the general community opinion). 10th Edition rules are coming out at...

Hey All, Vik is on holiday today so Dave is here with Jokull from our team Ignite! We're both covering the new Tyranids data sheets spoiled today. Jokull is a long time Tyranid player, taking them to LVO and LGT - and well, Dave killed things with Tyranid warriors too. So tune in to this episode to get a wall to wall coverage of the tyranid data sheets and the army rules! Dave & Jokull

Hey All, Welcome back to Episode 25 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite. This past weekend saw Team Ignite (5 Players= Vik, Dave, Brian Seipp, Jokull Johannsson & Boris Michev) attend the huge Birmingham Teams Tournament (320 Players, 64x 5 Person Teams).

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.

Tune in to listen to our early takes and speculations (and please keep in mind we don&#39...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hey All, Welcome back to Episode 19 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite. With no Dataslate just yet (though hopefully due shortly after this episode releases!), our lists are submitted for the London Open - a 150-person Major event hosted by the UKTC. Dave's bringing his Astra Militarum and Vik his Aeldari. We run through our lists and how we'...

Hey All, Welcome back to Episode 18 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite.

We go through what makes the Desolation Marine...

Hey All, (Dave apologizes for his mic - had a little toooo much gain!). Welcome back to Episode 17 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard. This week saw Dave win another Super-Major (making him the only player in the UK to win 3!), the 200-player Southampton Super Major (UKTC).
