Part 1 - The Horde Meta Grows! Sam Pope Takes BFS with Tyranids - 315.1

This mighty week a new supplements worth of detachments arrive and we are reviewing all the things and stuffs that chaos got in this spicy release.Matt Morosoli joins me for the CSM detachment reviews with John Lennon himself demanding the spotlight for the chaos knights.Hope you enjoy!

This week, on the request from the Patrons, Sam Pope, the hive master himself, joins us to tell everyone about his undefeated run at a GT with Vanguard Onslaught Tyranids.

This week the pactbound master himself Sascha joins me to review the best constructed and balanced faction of the edition (in our opinion). Hope you enjoy. CSM hot takes below------>They all look great, very very points dependant. Defiler datasheet is amazing, but dinner plate for a base means things are still rough unless it's sub 200 points which hey, victrix are a thing, so who knows. Mutilators are amazing if you can deliver them, but points will make or break big time. New character is ace and kind of slams in combat with quality buffs, so hoping he finds a place, likely oblits auto take if you are going there.

This week we are joined by a gent from the South Island of New Zealand, Michael Stewart who recently won the Warzone Wellington GT with Haloscreed Admech!

My mate Lukas Troller joins me as we attempt to stay out of the salt mines and look at the Ork faction and codex this edition from an objective viewpoint. We talk the journey of the faction through the index days, the launching pad and circumstances of the codex launch, it's development, treatment and outcomes thereafter!
