Art of War - The Competitive 40k Network

This week Dean Sinnbeck from Blog for the Blood God joins us to do the CSM codex retrospective. This thing could have been a long as hell episode due to how thick this codex is, but thanks to dean we get all the goodness and none of the bloat. Hope you enjoy!

Hello one and all! We are doing another retro, expect nothing less until the new edition lays itself upon us. This week we jump over the CSM Codex and head to the warp for the Chaos Daemons retrospective, joined by the Plague Hulk himself Matt Morosoli. Matt and I have a great time discussing this book at length, what has made it such a contender in many meta's and given it depth, despite relative...

Here he is, Big Willy M. Make it stick people. But this episode we cover the less spikey version of the big stompy boys, the Imperial Knights. This is an amazing albeit very solved book with so much depth we never got to see, thanks to the Freeblade Lance in most part. I hope you all enjoy the show! Willy M is an amazing guest and it was my pleasure to have him on and dive into one of my favourite...

Back to the retrospective train and we are here with possibly my favourite codex of the edition! My only regret is i discovered it too late.  But I am joined by the Reigning Defending Undisputed kind of the Art of War House, John Lennon, who crushed all opposition with said spikey robots. We talk what we love about this book and cover as much as we can fit between bouts of passionate tirade.  Hope...

Hello everyone! It's that time of the quarter where gw does their thing and shifts the landscape a bit.  This week I was joined by lovely Art of War team member Quinton Johnson. We dissect this slate and give it the going over. It's a good slate and a good time.

This week I get two Australian mad lads on to discuss the state of the competitive scene down under so far in 2023. Dineeth from The Normal Blokes and Sam Lemin of the brand new World of Warhammer podcast! We dive into one of the most complex and unique (of course i'd say this) meta's in the world and get some insights from a few of it's most active participants.  Then we chat 10th edition and our...

The train has no brakes on our journey to completing the retrospective series. This week we stop by THE STRONGEST (busted) CODEX of the edition (arguably) with the Tyranids. I am joined by Hive Mind wonder boy Alex MacDougall who helps me negotiate this heavily hitting dex. It has had a fair few iterations and many meta shifts and according to Alex, its death has been premature.

It's time to complete the clown half of the Aeldari Codex Retrospective! I am joined by the Clown King himeself Mike Porter to disseminate and give the retro look at this crazy as all crazy codex! We do the usual, look through all the major sections of the book and put our thoughts on them, how they were on release and how good they are now. Mike is a total gent and was an absolute pleasure to hav...

This week we managed to actually get some things back on the optimum track with a faction ladder update episodes 3 months apart! Peter The Falcon joins us to shine a light on these first few months of Arks of Omen and disseminate the lump of data being harvested from games around the globe! There are a few suprises and a fair few 'just as planned.' 

Hello everyone! This week I was grateful to be joined by the lovely Thomas Byrd and Ben Jurek to disseminate and discuss the state of the Xenos Superfaction. That being those defined by GW as Orks, Votann, Tau and Necrons.  We look at each of these factions in turn, give expert advice where we can and look at their prospects in the Arks of Omen field. It's a great time with two awesome gents. We h...

This week we look back on the Craftworld or Asuryani portions of the Aeldari book in this Codex Retrospective! I am joined by absolute gentleman and top UK ITC player Vik Vijay! Vik lead the way almost all of last ITC season and Asuryani is his first love. He brings the passion and the knowledge to compliment this episode perfectly.  Hope you enjoy!  Go over and check out more of Vik at https://ww...
