    99 Problems But A Tactical Rock Aint One - Wobbly Player Syndrome ep 99

    Send us Fan Mail Episode 99 dives deep into the evolution of Warhammer miniatures — from the days of questionable lead casts and nightmare resin kits to the absurdly detailed models we get today. We talk hobby nostalgia, the rise of push-fit kits, the disaster years of Finecast, and whether Games Workshop’s increasing prices are creating a barrier for new players entering the hobby. Along the way we ask:  Are modern kits actually better to build?  Did older minis have more charm?  Is hobby accessibility getting worse?  Where does 3D printing realistically fit into the future of tabletop gaming?  And why did every hobbyist somehow ingest at least a little lead in the 90s? A fun, slightly traumatic walk through miniature history with plenty of community hobby memories along the way. If you’ve ever glued your fingers together, snapped a resin sword removing mould lines, or opened a Finecast blister with fear in your heart — this one’s for you.

    11 Things We “Know” About 11th Edition - Episode 98

    Send us Fan Mail 11 Things We “Know” About 11th Edition… Probably The group chat’s been busy, the rumours are stacking up, and somehow we’ve ended up with a neat little list of “definitely maybe” features for 11th edition. So naturally—we’re going through all of them. In this episode:  No objective markers? Terrain-based scoring and what that does to board control  Charge changes: roll first, then pick your target (yes, really)  Stratagems toned down—no more stacking buffs across phases  Leaders always leading, even when they’re flying solo  “Hidden” mechanics: 18” stealth bubbles and delayed engagement  Fight First actually meaning fight first Disembarking straight into combat (because why not)  Codex-first approach—no index reset this time around  A 70 detachment modular system—flexibility or deathstar bingo?  Narrative mission structure with both players influencing the game  The launch box: Space Marines vs Orks, with a heavy nod to 2nd edition nostalgia Why it matters: There’s a clear theme here—less raw stacking, more positional play, and a suspicious number of mechanics that feel… familiar. Whether that’s refinement or a quiet return to older edition chaos is the real question. Community question: Which of these sounds like a genuine improvement—and which one screams “we’ve been here before”? Jump in the comments or the Discord and let us know.

    Your List Isn’t the Problem… Maybe | Wobbly Player Syndrome Ep.97

    Send us Fan Mail Your list isn’t the problem… probably. But we’re going to blame it anyway. This episode the Wobbly crew dives into one of the most argued parts of Warhammer 40K: list building. From copy-pasting tournament lists to crafting your own masterpiece, we talk about what actually helps you improve — and what might just be hobby noise. In this episode we cover: Premade lists – Are tournament lists and internet builds a shortcut to success, or a shortcut to confusion? Starting a new army – Where do you even begin when building your first list? Combat Patrol boxes – Great starting point or sneaky hobby trap? What points level should you start at? Great player vs great list – Can skill overcome a mediocre list? The art of crafting a list – tools, planning, and building around what you actually own AI generated lists – helpful tool or heresy? The team debates while running our own AI list experiment. Along the way we talk hobby philosophy, the dangers of chasing the meta, and why learning your army might matter more than copying someone else’s list. As always, we provide expert advice from people who are definitely not experts, so results may vary.

    Episode 96 - Survive The Cull

    Send us Fan Mail Episode 96 – Survive the Cull  11th Edition is on the horizon — and if history tells us anything, something isn’t surviving the transition. In this episode, we look at which units across Warhammer 40,000 might be on borrowed time. From Space Marine redundancies to Astra Militarum edge cases, and the quiet decline of Flyers and Fortifications, we break down the patterns behind the cull. This isn’t panic — it’s pattern recognition. Cull doesn’t mean death.  But it does mean change.

    Episode 95 - Looking Into The Warp (2026)

    Send us Fan Mail The Warp is stirring… and that usually means change. In this episode of Wobbly Player Syndrome, we look ahead to the next year of Warhammer 40,000 and read the signs pointing toward 11th Edition. No leaks. No doomposting. Just experienced players connecting the dots from recent rules, releases, and design trends coming out of Games Workshop. We talk faction fortunes, rules direction, hobby trends, and the big questions every 40K player is asking right now: who’s set up to win, what’s about to change, and what’s worth paying attention to as the edition cycle turns. If you want informed speculation, genuine hype, and a clear-eyed look at where the game is heading, this one’s for you. The Warp is whispering. The year ahead is going to be big.

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

    Send us Fan Mail 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.

    Send us Fan Mail 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.
