The Vanguard Tactics Podcast: A Warhammer Podcast

This week, Dave chats with Death Guard specialist and host of the Disgustingly Resilient podcast, Aiden Smalley, about the bringers of life and plague, the #DeathGuard in the #PariahNexus missions, and the effects that all of the changes to #Warhammer40K version 10.5 have had on this faction.

In this episode, special guest Tom Lowman from the 6+++ Show and Rock and Stone podcasts joins Dave and the Handsomest Man in 40K, Jake Harding, to talk about the Grimdark Future's stout dwarves inside the #PariahNexus.

Dave and Stephen talk hard realities and reasonable expectations in the new Codex: Adepta Sororitas in light of the new points changes in the latest Munitorum Field Manual. Rather than rush out a review of the new Codex, we decided to wait until we could discuss the new points as well, since these changes have a deep effect on the efficiacy of the Codex for at least the next 3 months.
