Hello everyone, we were lucky enough to get a copy of the Black Templars Codex to review!

Nick Nanavati — Tue, 01 Mar 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Adam is joined by the Old Warhorse himself, Brad Chester. A man who has played Eldar in every edition of the game! This was done under some duress as Adam was fairly unwell, so if we sped through parts or didn't give credence so something, forgive us. But oh my this codex is good! Maybe not the world ender we thought it might be, which is a relief. What we have is a well rounded, deep and flexible book that will give CWE players months of variation and interest, at a minimum.

AOWdu 93.1 Imperial Knights Codex Review P1

Nick Nanavati — Tue, 10 May 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Time to get stompy and richeous in here! First half of the Imperial Knights codex for review, being joined by Anthony Vanella for this and Every. Other. Knight. Review. Episode. For the next month! I had hoped there was enough time in the day for us to review this codex in one episode, but alas, GW did a great job of adding depth and layers upon layers of buffs and synergy into this book. I can't say it's broken or at any level comparable to the recent craziness, but it's solid, well rounded (for what it is) and i think exactly where we want a 9th edition codex to be. Hope you enjoy!

Nick Nanavati — Tue, 17 May 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Part 2 of this exciting codex review lands with a combo to shake the books (or claws) of the meta, but is there enough to build an army around? Is this book strong enough to stand on it's own two (pretty big) feet? Join Adam and Anthony V as they complete the Imperial Knight codex review! This one is actually something to get excited for (rather than lament), it's got depth, jank and real power, that comes at a cost (ya only got 7 models (are the brackets getting old yet?)). But the question is, are they to intense on the book keeping? Will it lose some fun or be weighed down in choices? Tune in to find out!

Nick Nanavati — Tue, 07 Jun 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Adam is joined this week by the one and only Ridvan 'Skari' Martinez to review the Rift War Campaign book. I can tell you now, I had no idea how we haven't been hearing more about this book, the Castellans of the rift with the right build might just be the most flexible marine ruleset we have right now (if admittedly not units wise). The Warpmeld Pact is lacking a bit in what you can build but the bones are there if there were to be say, some points changes coming in the future (fingers crossed enlightened and tzangoors go down). And the damn Coteries (what even is a coterie i ask you!?) are jacked as all hell, just straight up good. So i hope you enjoy because it was a pleasure to make!

AOWdu 110.1 Thousand Sons Codex Retrospective

Nick Nanavati — Tue, 13 Sep 2022 05:00:00 -0400

This week we return to some good old retrospective reviews with the Thousand Sons getting their turn. Adam is once again joined by Liam Hackett who was on for the original codex review. We have a pretty great time reminicing about how much we got wrong, got right and just how much depth there is to this codex! It's pretty well placed currently and Tsons players can leverage a lot of spice in the current meta, let's hope we can all hold it together over the next few months with Votann on the horizon......

It's here, they finally did it, they bought back Squats!! And in what fashion, may god have mercy on us all, because the stunties won’t. This book is CRANKED in just about every way. This book might go down as one of the best internally balanced books in the history of the game and I have reeled in the Binary master Richard Siegler for the review! We get the first half out of the way, with pretty much Richard and Adam playing good/bad cop respectively, depending on whether you like or loathe where this codex is taking us. It's a great episode regardless and we hope you enjoy it!

With the dataslate looming (and overdue) I was unwilling to put out any game content such as retrospectives or such and have it invalidated immediately! So instead i reached out to AOWdu's most faithful man of violence Anthony Vanella! We talk a fair bit about WTC, some of the psychology therein, game theory and meta stuffs, it's very free form and i didn't have a single note written to guide us! Hope it's a fun time

AOWdu 117.1 Orks Codex Retrospective

Nick Nanavati — Tue, 01 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0400

It's time to get green and kind of getting mean. Orks might just be a sleeper in this new meta but it's hard to argue they were weak before when they literally won the last super major pre balance slate. Fortune favored us at AOWdu providing a superstar in the week prior to when this episode was scheduled to record with Ben Jurek winning the SoCal open with his Goff pressure list. He joins Adam for the Orks Retrospective! On first release this codex was deemed to be somewhat 'hollow' with one top tier build (Freebooters) and then a MASSIVE cliff to the next best thing, well that next best thing just so happens to be doing real good right now and Ben is here to tell us all about it! STAY TUNED at the end of the episode for an interview with Richard Siegler giving his updated thoughts on Votann post nerf and dataslate! Hope you enjoy! <3 Adam

Hello one and all, the ancient and venerable Aledari Superfaction is getting put under the magnifying glass in this weeks episode! We have recorded segments with Ridvan 'Skari' Martinez and Chris Wright. Apologies in advance for my extra sultry tones, I have been really unwell lately and was glad I got something recorded for you all. My voice was barely hanging in there at times and I tried to mute myself for any and all coughing episodes. Hope it doesn't detract from a very cool episode otherwise! <3 Adam

AOWdu 119.1 Astra Militarum Codex Review P1

Nick Nanavati — Tue, 15 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Finally! Been a long 5+ year slog, but the good old 'Guard' finally has a freaking 9th edition codex! Adam is joined by John Lennon for this breakdown, covering the usual first half of a new dex, everything from the detachment abilities to tank aces and all inbetween! Some parts of this book (the stratagems) are easily on par with the best out there, whilst others (THE REGIMENTS) leave us a tad wanting. But we won't let that get in the way of the sheer HYPE Adam, John and many many others are feeling for this book. So sit down, strap yourselves in and get hammered by the emperor.

It's a great time and the passion doth overflow on a few occassions, but i hope you enjoy it thoroughly and the fun myself and Dirk had making this one is apparent. Also we get 2 relic pistols and a psychic power that draws a line?!? How did we get so luck #Blessed

AOWdu 121.1 Custodes Codex Retrospective

This lovely week I returned from some amazing adventures in lovely New Zealand and I brought back a Custodes Faction Specialist with me! Michael Taylor joins me to complete the Custodes dex Retro, we do the usual thing, covering all the significant sections of the codex almost a year after it's initial release! This book should have been, could have been, almost was, one of the best of this edition. But unfortunately GW went and bad touched them in a very unique way that has left them leaning on Forgeworld once again for power (it's actually a meme at this point). But despite this the custodes have a decent matchup into a huge variety of opponents. Go support the Kraken lads out of Auckland too! Much love Adam

The time of the uprising is nigh! Innes Wilson is here to lead the rabble to recursion based glory! As waves after waves of his own people are fed into the jaws of the opponents guns, clogging them with their carcasses so that victory can be achieved.

We review the GSC codex in all its myriad cults! Then disseminate the datasheets of renown that you will face across the table or wield in their own right.

Here we are with another index review, this time the hammer of the imperium, Imperial Guard are getting their due. I am joined again by David Gaylard after coercing him to join me for the Marines review a few weeks back!

This episode was uploaded prior to the current balance slate by GW so some of the points discussed are incorrect, but none of the archetypes have changed in our estimation and the info and units we highlighted are still top shelf.

Hello wonderful people, this week i am very excited to have my first ever South African player on the show. He is representing his nation THIS WEEK in the WTC in South Africa's first ever attendance at the event. So all things I (and hopefully you) are super passionate about.

His name is Kyle MacKintosh and as you have read above he is pioloting the pretty darn solid Necrons. Not only is Kyle a mad lad but he knows his stuff so strap in for another awesome review and chat.

Another week, another fabulous guest joining us to break down an index.

This week we are joined by the archon formerly known as Skari, now going by Overlord Skari, Ridvan Martinez!

He is a faction specialist with all the tricks in his bag, the knowledge and the passion. Hope you enjoy our take as we work our way through this index. It seems to be one with fantastic rules, but possibly lacking a depth of units with which to weild them,

Apologise for the late release this week, hope you are all well and happy!

Here it is! The very first codex review of 10th edition!

I am joined by the amazing duo of John Lennon and Matt Robertson! These two legendary gents steer me and you through this first look at what we can expect from 10th edition moving forward!

It's an interesting thing to unpack, with essentially all the rules 'siloed' into the detachments, making things easier to balance for sure, but you feel somewhat forced into certain builds and even hard skews at times. Regardless of that this thing has play and lots of it Can't wait to see what the hive minded out there make of it!

There is a lot and we tried to cover everything we could think of at the time and speak to our thoughts on the points changes for each faction.

I am joined by the WMD of Australian 40k Big Will Milton (Big Willy M) for the first week of the review! We chat all things marines and pontificate on the viability of the first 3 detachments, in addition to the changes to Oaths of Moment.

Regardless of the changes and loss of some units I am crazy excited by this codex and the depth of unit choices it brings to my beloved faction.

I hope you are too

Adam is joined by Aiden Smalley the plague lord of the current meta to review the stanky Death Guard Index. This really was a case of decent rules being wielded by pretty rough datasheets prior to the balance data slate which has re-invigorated the faction and allowed them to actually content with the top of the meta game.

Aiden was an absolute gent on the podcast and a venerable wealth of knowledge. Hope you go and give him some love over at the disgustingly resilient podcast!

I was joined by John Lennon for the review as we are both passionate as all hell about this faction and we did our best to keep things positive, in the face of a faction that has seemingly lost it's mojo.

Let's hope we are all wrong and some amazing build can be discovered in here but enjoy!

Hello lovely people this week i get my mad lad Matt Morosoli on to assist me in unpacking 3 nations of note at the WTC this year. We go through each list with as fine a tooth comb as we can, detailing what it's good/bad into, divining the purpose of it in said 8-player lineup and anything else we can conjure.
We deep dive into Team Poland, the reigning defending WTC champs of 2023, Team Norway who were Best Sports in 2023 and Team USA who many believe are favourites to win in 2024!

Some bad takes are bound to happen on this one as WTC is a place of smoke and mirrors list construction wise so please be gentle with us!

Hope you enjoy the hell out of it though.

Greetings Soup enjoyers. Games Workshop threw us a curveball by making Imperial Soup it's very own Codex, in a very strange way. This is a pretty dang unique book that has some really really bad portions that don't really make sense by todays measuring sticks, but also some shining jewels and spicy that i think will take many by surprise!

I am joined by Jeremy Martino of Team Australia for the review, as he promised. It's a very good time and we really do take our time, getting 2 hours of hardcore review content from what many believed to be a hollow book.

Hope you love it!

AOWdu 230.1 Daemons Grotmas Review

Nick Nanavati — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Hello denizens of the warp! I am joined by the World No1 Daemon player in the ITC for a review of all 4 grotmas detachments that seriously change the game and prospects for all chaos players out there.

These things are some of the best they gave us for Grotmas and I am willing to say, do more for Daemons than any other grotmas release (mostly because there are 4 of the thangs).

Hope you enjoy the review!

AOWdu 233.1 Emperors Children Codex Review

Nick Nanavati — Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Hey there sailor, you into some weird stuff? The Emperors Children certainly are.

Jawn Lennon joins me for this review (he demanded it) as we disseminate the brand new codex for the funkmasters of 40k.

This is a book that has amazing detachments and rules but overall ends up being a bit hollow in it's extremely sandboxed selection of unit choices. Despite this it looks like a hell of a good time on the tabletop!

We hope you enjoy!

Nick Nanavati — Sat, 26 Jul 2025 07:00:00 -0400

Hello there lovely people. Here is the full codex review for one of my favourite factions, the Grey Knights!

This book is interesting to say the least but at the end of the day mostly points us towards playing the same dang thing we have been all edition. But! Hope is not lost, for Purifiers shall save us from the DK all day archetypes.

AOWdu 254.1 Black Templars Codex Review

Hello my most richeous of crusaders! Here is the full review of the new Black Templars codex with the amazing Jack Harpster in for the episodes.
This is an interesting book, with powerful datasheets if the detachments themselves are a little sandboxed, rewarding overall and not without power but lacking a little diversity within the archetypes.
Jack and I run through the thang and give you all the hotness on where the mighty templars are headed in this 10th edition!

Nick Nanavati — Sat, 06 Sep 2025 05:35:44 -0400

Hello fellow noble Knights and such. Here it is, the long awaited Imperial Knight Codex Review!

This is a book close to my heart, as many know knights are one of my main factions for the past year and i have had a fair bit of time to muse upon it's workings. Le'ts just say the overall power level is likely down, but the plays you can make as a knight player are Way up.

For this review i was joined by the brilliant Jordan McGreggor who is currently ranked No1 in the ITC in Australia in addition to representing Australia at the recent WTC. He is Mr Armiger himself and brings nuance and insights for days.

Hope you love it!

PS apologies for any confusion, the PDF i reviewed was worded a little differently than release and you WILL get your quality from T1!

AOWdu 286.1 Chaos Space Marine Codex Retrospective

Nick Nanavati — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0400

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.
