The Vanguard Tactics Podcast: A Warhammer Podcast

Jord and Stephen continue their Warhammer 40,000 tournament preparation for the Newport GT, breaking down a full weekend of practice games and putting their army lists, detachments and game plans through their paces. With the International Teams Tournament (ITT) also on the horizon, we dive deeper into the unique challenges of Warhammer 40K Teams events. We discuss how to choose the right Primary Disposition for each player, the challenge of building a team where every player needs to cover a different Disposition, and how this affects army list construction, faction choices and pairings. We break down our practice games, the decisions that worked, the mistakes we made, and what we've learned about preparing for competitive Warhammer 40,000. As the Newport GT gets closer, follow along as we refine our lists, improve our matchups and secondary scoring, and prepare for the demands of both singles and teams tournament play.

Hey, all!! We're getting back to a schedule finally! In this one, Dave reviews the brand new Death Guard Codex with the Disgustingly Resilient Podcast's infected hosts, Aiden Smalley and David Turner!! Another big thank you to Games Workshop for sending us preview copies of this codex so that we could get the review out to you all much sooner!

Dave and Stephen talk all about the big update to the game that dropped in March.

Steve and Dave provide an overview of the new army rule for the High Elves of the 41st Millenium, as well as the 8 new detachments and the major unit changes (there's a lot of them) in this new codex from Games Workshop for Warhammer 40,000.

Dave is joined by new VT team member TJ Lanigan to talk about the Sons of Prospero and the ways of their forbidden, corrupted magic. And also Magnus did nothing wrong.

In this episode, Dave talks with Stephen and Jord about where all of the factions of Warhammer 40,000 currently sit and how the new points changes from October 2024 may likely affect them each. Special thanks to Stat Check for all the work they do to compile the massive stats from 40K that we referred to in this episode. Please check out their full website at www.stat-check.com.

It's time to get bloody with Dave and Jord as they review the new Blood Angels codex and some of the changes to this historic model range. [Note: we had some problems with sound distortion on Dave's mic, but it gets better as the episode goes on. Our apologies for sending you something less than our usual quality, but with everyone's time being limited lately, we decided to give you what we had rather than wait a couple more weeks to re-record it.]
