It's a new era for the show, and that means it's a good time to talk about getting started! In this episode, Rob and Kevin discuss getting started in the Warhammer 40,000 hobby. We walk you through tips on everything from where to find your inspiration, how to go about picking an army, ways to buy that army you just chose, and getting those first games in, as well as a bit of hobby advice for first-time miniature builders and painters. If you or someone you know has been thinking about getting into the Warhammer 40K gaming hobby, think of this as a general guide on how to get started from scratch!

There’s been a lot of new releases and announcements since our look at characters, so it’s time to catch up with the updates! First off, we’ve got a big announcement for the podcast that should be a sign of great things to come. Then, we dive into the seven new holiday battleforces announced, and examine which are good buys and which will probably sit on shelves. After that, a look at the various Space Marine characters released, including the latest version of Marneus Calgar.

Episode 336: The History of Characters and the Character Encyclopedia
If there’s one thing that Warhammer 40,000 is loaded with, it’s unique characters who are often pivotal to the story. But how have those characters been reflected on the tabletop? In this episode, inspired by the new Warhammer 40,000 Character Encyclopedia, we dive into all things character-related! In part one, we look back at the history for rules for characters, especially special named characters from Rogue Trader through 10th Edition. Then, in part two, we look into the Encyclopedia and each pick five of our favorite characters. Come join us as we pick through 38 years of rules, discover some interesting bits of lore, and maybe even learn a new word or two!
Thank you to DK Books for sending us a copy of the Character Encyclopedia for review!

Episode 335: 10th Edition Drukhari
The time is finally upon us – the final codex (or at least, the last index to become a codex) of 10th Edition is here! In this episode, we delve into the new Drukhari codex, to see what the dark spiky cousins of the Aeldari are bringing in their new book. How is Power from Pain getting reworked? Who made the cut into the codex and who didn’t? Why did every single unit get an update? And which detachments bring their particularly poisonous flavor to the tabletop? Also, we delve into the most recent balance dataslate and see who got the biggest buffs and nerfs this time around.
Thank you to Games Workshop for providing copies of the codex and miniatures to review!
