Champions of 40K

Epsiode 2 of my 'Best of' series in which I repost my favourite conversations with Some of the most awesome people in Warhammer 40,000. 

In the mid 80's Rick Prieslty wrote a rule set for a game called Rogue Trader. He created the game we love, along with so many of it's factions and characters. The how and why are questions he answers in this chat. Along with some awesome stories about the birth of the game and what went on behind the scenes. 

Rick is a legend. Give this a listen.

Tabletop Tactics boasts two of the finest beards in 40k. One of them belongs to their Champion of Ad Mech - Stig. In this episode we find out what goes on behind the scenes at TT and how the man got that nickname. Spolier: It has NOTHING to do with Ad Mech forgeworlds!!

From Alex Fennel to Jack Harpster and everyone in between. All the Champions of every Las Vegas Open are together in one mighty episode. And that one LVnOpen. 

All of them share their insights into the event, what it takes to win, the lists they constructed and how they handled the pressure of the event.

Oh - and why is it that Jack Harpster owes Alex Fennel a fruit basket? The chat with Jack is only about 15 minutes of this episode, but it might be the most I've laughed in a 40k interview ever. Worth getting to the end of the episode for.

Joe Schideler is a gentle giant who lives in a campervan and travels around the States bringing us the latest games from tournaments everywhere.

In this chat he tells us how it all began and takes us off camera with what goes on behind the scenes. It's a fascinating story and a compelling listen. His dogs also make a guest appearance in the show! So, you know, maybe just listen for that.

Is he the nicest human in 40k? Gotta be close.

Liam Hackett is the actual Warhammer 40,000 Champion of the World. He finished first in the singles event and his Australian team beat all comers in the teams event at the 2022 WTC.

In this episode he tells us how to get through a massive event, how he approaches list construction and tips on practicing for events. There is so much in here and he dishes it up before he even has breakfast!

How did the Polish get so good at the team game? Poland is a perpetual high achiever at the teams format of Warhammer 40,000. Their history is proud, and I wanted to know why. What makes them so good? Is there something in the sausage?

Tweak and Joker from the Contact Lost Podcast are the best people in poland to tell us (in English).

Hey, it's the very first episode of a brand new series, so let's set the bar high with a super nice guy who happens to be a Champion of one single faction of 40k. Through thick and thin he stays with his beloved Sisters of Battle.

Mitch Beard tells a great story - he's been doing it on his podcast, 'Sister Act' for a while, and now he's doing it for us. How he started the podcast, what it's like being an American living in England, why he has still never met his co host.

We also cover the state of the faction and what Mitch would like to keep and what he would like to change if and when a 10th ed rolls around. It's a fun chat.
