Innes, Anthony, and Jeremy are here to talk about their feelings on the latest MFM update. Hot takes, cold takes, and some statistical skullduggery are all included!

Champions of 40k is a podcast that celebrates the people who make our hobby great.  In this episode I speak with Anthony Vanella - a man who grew up in the heart of suburbia, learned to fight, turned fighting into his living, and has now morphed that into a career as one of the best 40k players in the world.  He is vice-captain of the US WTC team, he's a coach at Art of War, and he's a specialist in the aggressive play style which has become his trademark. We talk a LOT about all of that.  ...

For the first time in a long while (or ever?) the hosts are here to do a statistically-based (and somewhat feels influenced) Faction Ranking! Taking a look at the meta since the Q1 2024 dataslate at the end of January 2024 through to April 21, Innes, Nathan, and Jeremy are looking at who's performend and who's fallen flat (it's Deathwatch)! If you'd like to look at the completed tier list - check this out: https://imgur.com/a/u9KrYUN

The Orkpocalypse is upon us! Are Custodes dead on arrival? Innes and Anthony are here for all your hot takes on both books!

What is true love? And is there such a thing as love at first sight? These don't sound like very Warhammer questions - but they can be.  In this episode Steve Joll and Jake Harding talk about his journey in 40k, and also finding that army that you completely fall for. Each of us gets to that place of loving a faction in a different way. This is, partly, the story of how Jake found Votann.  You can find the Vanguard Tactics youtube channel here.  Go like the Champions of 40k...

Innes is fresh back from Alpine Cup, nursing his wounds. He talks about the event, Nathan covers stats, and Jeremy vamps a bit about whether the meta is balanced.

In this episode Nathan, Pumba and Typhus will be taking a closer look at some of the list for the upcoming Alpine Cup Team Tournament, their preparation for the event and as always, answering some questions.

This week we have special guest (and Stat Check network member) Steve Joll, host of the podcast Champions of 40k and of the Breeze Wellington 94.1FM/98.5FM. Steve is here to talk about bringing back Champions of 40k, why he chose to join the Stat Check network, and why you start with the troops in an army when painting a new scheme.

Steve Joll gets to know the people who champion all aspects of our awesome hobby - Warhammer 40,000.  In this episode, Seth the Mad Dok Oster explains his nickname, tells us how he got his start in content creation, and what led him to the seat that used to be occupied by the OG of 40k podcasting, Reece Robbins. We also discuss what happens when you fall out of love with your main army (Steve needs help).  Oh, and we talk about Orks. Painting orks, playing orks, painting orks, collecting...

Innes is back undefeated from the Manchester Supermajor; Jeremy is back undefeated from All is Dust; Anthony is chilling like a villain while he gets ready for Alpine Cup in the coming weeks. All's well in the meta - or is it? The team discuss their events, take questions from you the listener, and address some of the hot button issues of competitive 40k this week.

Innes learns how timezones work and rejoins Anthony and Nathan to discuss the week in warhammer. Innes and Anthony regale us with their tales from the Eurotrash Cup this past weekend in Amersfoort - sounds made up. Icing may or may not have occurred at this even - listen for more!

The hobby of 40k has introduced me to some of the nicest people I've ever met anywhere. One of those people is Stig from Tabletop Tactics. He was an early supporter of my podcasts, and is always one of the first to like or share the nonsense I post to instagram.  In this episode the man - who didn't earn his Ad Mech sounding nickname the way you think he did - talks to me about life before 40k, when a career as a rock n roll drummer beckoned, whether he gets recognised as a celebrity while...

In this episode Pumba, Typhus, Innes and Violence share their Pyra Cup experience with discussions and conclusions from the tournament.

In this episode Nathan, Typhus and Pumba will take a closer look at the list for upcoming Euro Trash Cup, and will discuss how the 8 man meta changed (or stagnated) since the PyraCup last month.

In this week's show, Innes is missing because Daylight Savings sucks, Nathan has the latest in competitive stats, Anthony is having fun with power level unit costs, and Jeremy talks about the recently announced Team Canada. The crew talk about the "new" Dark Angels supplement, the T'au codex previews with the new Crisis Suit configurations, and take show questions from listeners.

Cliff and Tim are joined by Team New Zealand member and friend of the show Alex Towse to discuss the latest in the meta, Towse's terrain shenanigans, and what the future holds for the show.

(with apologies from Curie for the delayed upload)   Cliff and Tim are back to talk about the meta and their recent experiences with the game - also covering the surge in interest that Necrons and Custodes are seeing.

Cascade Clash is next week!!!! Let's run down the current meta, how we're preparing for it, and what we're taking to ensure domination. Featuring a guest appearance by the man behind the madness, Noah Beddome!

Innes, Anthony, and Nathan are here to talk about the meta! Nathan has stats fresh off the press, and Anthony went to an RTT with Blood Angels! David Gaylard won a Super-major with guard so I'm sure those players are doing well...

The whole gang's back! Anthony returns to the show triumphant at Pyra Cup along with the rest of Team USA, while Team Scotland's Innes is nursing his wounds. Jeremy and Nathan come by to share the latest in competitive 40k stats, and the gang tackle a backlog of show questions from listeners.
