    Episode 94 - What Have You Done For Me Lately, GW - 2025 edition

    Send us a text In Episode 94, the hosts take a hard look back at the Warhammer hobby in 2025 and ask a blunt but necessary question of Games Workshop: what have you actually done for us lately? This is a year-in-review episode that cuts through the hype to examine the good, the bad, and the ugly. Which factions genuinely received attention and meaningful support—and which were left waiting? Were the reveals and roadmaps exciting, or did some feel like teases without delivery? And in a year full of previews, balance updates, and edition talk, where did expectations line up with reality… and where did they miss the mark entirely? The conversation also turns inward. After everything that happened in 2025, how do we actually feel about the hobby right now? Are we still excited? Still optimistic? Or just cautiously hopeful? This episode is equal parts critique, reflection, and honest discussion—no salt for the sake of it, but no blind praise either. If you’ve ridden the highs and lows of Warhammer this year, this one’s for you. Survey (closes Dec 31st) Support the show Enjoying the podcast and want to help support it?

    Episode 93 - R U Ok Games Workshop?

    Send us a text The Wobbly Player Syndrome crew gather on the therapist’s couch to check in on Games Workshop’s mental health. From surprise rule updates to another round of “how to play 10th Edition” guides — all while 11th Edition looms just six months away — the team asks: what’s going on in Nottingham? Join Greg, Mike, Mark, and Adam as they discuss the logic (or lack thereof) behind recent GW decisions, the impact on the player base, and whether we’re all just along for the wobbly ride. 💛 A Serious Note: While we poke fun this episode with the “R U OK?” theme, it’s a genuine reminder to check in on your mates. Mental health matters — and sometimes, simply asking “Are you OK?” can start a life-changing conversation.

    Episode 92 - Math-Hammer, the good the bad and the other bits

    Send us a text This month the team dives deep into the world of Math-Hammer — the art (or curse) of trying to calculate every roll, probability, and statistical edge in Warhammer 40K. Is it worth crunching the numbers, or will the dice gods laugh at your spreadsheets? Join Greg, Adam, Mike, and Mark as they debate whether math-hammering your games actually helps you win, or just ruins the fun. We’ll look at: ⚙️ The pros and cons of playing by the odds 📊 The rise of Math-Hammer apps and tools 🎯 Why probability theory never survives first contact with the tabletop 🤣 Plus our usual hobby progress, battle stories, and a few questionable calculations!

    Episode 91 - The 10 Re-Commandments

    Send us a text Episode 91 – The Ten Re-Commandments Tonight on Wobbly Player Syndrome, the crew lays down their tablets of wisdom for Warhammer 40K’s 10th Edition. We bring forward a longtime podcast friend's ideas on their “10 re-commandments” — ideas, tweaks, and improvements that could sharpen the rules, smooth the gameplay, or make the game more enjoyable. Expect laughs, debate, and the occasional heretical suggestion as we carve out our vision for a better 10th. 1) Codex-specific objectives.  2) Fewer shots and fewer attacks in the shooting and fight phase.  3) Only reroll 1s 4) Better moral rules.  5) Overwatch back to 12 inches.  6) Charge phase double 1s always fail. Double 6s give a bonus. 7) Vehicles. Firing arcs returned  8) Bring back terrain effects. Hazardous terrain and movement restrictions.  9) Unit leaders need to be important again.  10) Maybe the most contentious suggestion...charge distance bonus or negative based on base movement. Movement 1-3" (-1), 4-8 no modifier, 9+" (+1). Faster units should be better at charging What do you think about the top ten recommendations? Enjoying the podcast and want to help support it?

    Episode 90 - The Pitch: Chaos Space Legions

    Send us a text Welcome to The Great Corruption-Off! In this episode of Wobbly Player Syndrome, the hosts don their most heretical hats and each take on the role of a Chaos Space Marine recruiter. From the plague-ridden zeal of the Death Guard to the blood-soaked glory of the World Eaters, from the sensual whispers of the Emperor’s Children to the sorcerous schemes of the Thousand Sons—and of course, the unyielding ambition of the Black Legion—they’ll each try to pitch YOU on why their Legion deserves your soul... and possibly your skull. Who will win your allegiance? Who will earn your damnation? And will anyone actually survive the sales pitch? Prepare to laugh, cringe, and maybe question your loyalty to the Emperor.

    Episode 89 - He Has Returned From the Warp and He Has Brought Snacks

    Send us a text He said he was just heading into the Eye of Terror for a quick errand—and now he's back with a vengeance (and probably some snacks). In this episode of Wobbly Player Syndrome, the crew dives headfirst into the great Primarch mystery: who's next to return to the Warhammer 40k stage? We argue lore, throw around wild theories, and discuss just how much chaos (or order) one returning dad can bring to the Imperium. Expect laughs, hot takes, and more emotional damage than a forgotten Father's Day card. Grab your bolter and your shopping list—this one’s gonna get spicy.

    Episode 88 - Come Fly With Me

    Send us a text This week (?), Greg, Adam, SFW Mark, and Radio Mike take to the skies to debate whether flyers have a place in Warhammer 40K’s 10th Edition. Are Games Workshop trying to phase out the Aircraft keyword altogether? The crew discusses the challenges of making flyers viable on the tabletop, ideas for improving their rules, and why some Chaos Legions ended up with the infamous Heldrake while others didn't. Join us for hobby banter, tactical takes, and the usual Wobbly Player humour as we explore the highs and lows of aircraft in the grimdark future.  Support the show Enjoying the podcast and want to help support it?
