In our third annual Christmas episode, we talk about the Games Workshop, Warhammer 40K and our major events from 2017. We also talk about the state of the game of 40K as it sits right now. Finally, we discuss some of the controversies as well as what we are looking forward to in 2018.
In this episode, we turn The Battlehosts over to you, our listeners! We review two lists and discuss a few topics submitted by our listeners. We have been doing this for two years now, and as long as you keep listening, we will keep making podcasts!
In this episode, we finish our discussion of the Adeptus Astartes or Space Marines. We talk about the Primaris Space Marines, including their background, units and how they play in the game.

We talk about each of the codex Space Marine chapters and we end our podcast talking about list building.
In this episode, we talk about about the Adpetus Astartes or Space Marines in Warhammer 40K. This is part one of a two part series on the most popular and iconic faction in the game. We cover a brief history of the Space Marines, discuss the weapons and units available to them, and talk about how to get started with a Space Marine army.
In this episode, we talk about what it means to play to the mission in Warhammer 40K. Tabling an opponent should never be your primary method to winning the game. We discuss the Eternal War and Maelstrom missions in the book as well as the ITC Combined Arms and Nova missions.
In this episode, we talk about playing with Titanic units in 40k. Many events have banned all units above a power level of 31, but how necessary is this? We talk about all of the units that would be banned and evaluate it for durability and lethality to see how good they are and if these units have a place in a 2000 point Matched Play game.
In this episode, we talk to Mitch Pelham, a top ranked ITC player who took 2nd at the Bay Area Open.

We also discuss how to survive two days of gaming and the importance of good sportsmanship and being a fun and fair opponent.
In this episode, we talk about Warhammer 40K Titans. We discuss why you would want to own one, each of the titans available through Forgeworld, and playing them in games of Warhammer 40K.

In this episode, we interview Zach Becker from Warhammer-tactics.com to talk about tactics in the new edition of Warhammer 40K. Zach was one of the play testers of the new edition, so he has a lot of good insight into playing the game.
In this episode, we finish our discussion of the history of Warhammer 40k by talking about New 40k. Rather than simply talk about the changes, we wanted to discuss this new edition in the context of what has come before it. Of course we will offer our own first impressions on this edition having played many games already. We will also talk about what you can look forward to from us as a result of this new edition of 40K.
