This week we do some self reflection as we analyze our league games from this past week:
MISSION - SECURE / GAME TYPE - OPEN / MAP - #5 BATTLEGROUND
Joe - Nightlords v. Novitiates, featuring a narrative write up.
George - Brood Brothers v. Kasrkin
Mark - Gellerpox v. Hernkyn Yaegirs

We also briefly touch on recent teasers, a Blades of Khaine buff idea, how to teach newer players, and some of George's "inspired" Kill Team conversions (like his Patriarch and his Corsair Voidscarred).

First Episode! George's Lessons from the Goonhammer Open

Mark Meyer, George Pratt, Joe Gallo — Sat, 13 Jul 2024 14:11:28 -0400

This week we recap George's experiences at the Goonhammer Open, discuss ways to lighten cognitive load, and talk about Blades of Khaine. Do they really need a buff?

Also, it's our very first episode! We chat a bit about how we got into the hobby, Kill Team in the Triangle, and what teams we're planning to grind out before the upcoming NOVA Open.
