The third codex of 11th Edition is here, and it's solid gold! Well, auramite, actually, because in this episode, we're discussing the new Adeptus Custodes codex. The Emperor's bodyguards have had an almost-full line refresh, as well as having their Imperial Armour models converted to plastic and rolled into the codex. So, how do they fare? How much flexibility does the new Martial Ka'tah system grant them? Which detachments are takers, and which ones are maybe best left in the book? What do the new

Episode 355: The Pain Points of 11th Edition

2026/08/16

Change is often uncomfortable, and editions changes are even more so. 11th Edition has brought a lot of changes, both small and large, to Warhammer 40K, and most of them have been pretty well-received. That said, there are a few things that have brought a bit of extra friction to the game, had unexpected impacts, or just aren't quite working as anticipated. In this episode, we look at three particular pain points that impact the armies we build, the tables we play on, and the missions we play. Are

One of Games Workshop's stated goals is to bridge the gap between narrative and competitive play, and the Dominatus narrative deck is their first attempt to build that bridge. In this episode, we're going to dive into the deck and give our thoughts, along with Rob's experience with running and playing in a Dominatus league. Does the deck deliver a solid narrative experience? How well does it bring narrative and matched play together? Does it fix the issues with Crusade? How well does it handle
