We have returned from Adepticon and we're talking about it in this episode. A huge thanks goes to everyone who made the trip so special for us. We also take the time to field a listener question regarding their army's fluff.

The Rogue Trader stands as a pillar of Imperial society at the same level as an Imperial Commander, Chapter Master, or Lord Inquisitor. It is their charge to solidify and broaden the influence of the Emperor of mankind.  If they make a tidy profit or build a power base of their own along the way, then what's not to like? In this episode, we look at the Rogue Trader and how to include them in your games of 40k including some new Battlefleet 40k ships and a new Rogue Trader Allied Detachment.

In this episode, we take the concept of bringing the world of 40k to life on your tabletop and apply it directly to gaming materials by Games Workshop. In this case, we are rounding out our Battle of the Fang coverage by discussing the Space Wolves. Our aim with segments such as these is to help players break away from the "what's good" in a Codex and even away from a "how is this meant to be played" context and switch to a purely narrative perspective. We look at the background of an army, then critique the Codex entries as to their viability in regards to representing the army on the tabletop. We follow up with some lists that we feel might be representative of narrative uses of those rules. Moreso than with any other format, we hope that you, the listener, will get involved in this discussion and offer up your own narrative Space Wolves lists. We are very much interested in what you think.   Games Workshop's Space Wolves range: http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Warhammer-40-000?N=102296+4294967202&Nu

"Justice without force is powerless.  Force without justice is tyranny." - Blaise Pascal This episode is all about a Space Marines Chapter created by Adam called the Star Eagles. We also discuss some tips on what to do when developing your own army fluff; for space marines in particular.  Also, of course, we discuss our weeks in the hobby. Codex: Star Eagles (Draft Final) http://mastersoftheforge.com/?attachment_id=180 I forgot to mention that the great Episode 66 of the Independent Characters was another inspiration for this army. http://theindependentcharacters.com/blog/?p=2255
