Preferred Enemies - A Warhammer 40K Podcast Preferred Enemies

It’s time to talk narrative play! In this episode, we’re joined by Chris Stover, organizer of Narrative events at the NOVA Open. You might recognize him from last year’s Grand Narrative coverage, but he’s more than a chaos cultist cosplayer; he’s the person behind one of the biggest narrative Warhammer 40K events in the country! We talk with Chris about what it’s like to organize and run such a large event, what’s happened in the NOVA Open narrative story over the last couple of years, what he’s learned along the way, and why there shouldn’t be a huge gulf between narrative and competitive players!

The second episode of our Religious Codex Double-Feature is here, and this time we delve into the undercities of the Imperium to take a look at the Genestealer Cults. How did these half-human, half-alien hybrids get here? Will the Star Children truly save them? And how did they handle the transition from index to codex? We try to untangle their plans and figure out how they stack up, especially compared to their opposites in devotion, the Sisters of Battle. Also, we examine the changes from the June Balance Dataslate and rules update, and try to answer the question: are we even playing the same edition we were playing a year ago?

A double event of codex religiosity is upon us, and first up are the militant arm of the Eccleisarchy, the Adepta Sororitas! In this episode, we dive into the new book for the Sisters of Battle and look at how these faithful females fared in the transition from index to codex. Can you actually have a good codex with only four detachments? Did the Acts of Faith system get changed again? And is there a chance this book came out… possibly too good? And will they pay for it with the points update? (Spoiler: they will.)

The Long War is upon us, and that means it’s time to discuss the forces that have been fighting it all this time – the Chaos Space Marines! Their new codex is out, so it’s time to discuss these traitor legions and how they’re reflected on the table in this new book. With eight detachments to choose from, what playstyles are supported? Which ones are clear threats, which ones are there for the flavor, and which ones just don’t quite make the grade? What units changed, and was it for the better or worse? And what about the Emperor’s Children – how do they fit into all of this? All that, plus a look at the US Open previews, in this episode!

It’s our 300th episode, and we celebrate with a double-helping of event coverage! In part one, we talk about the Midwest Conquest 2024, with Dennis and Kevin running a narrative event, Rob playing in the narrative event, and Richard judging the paint competition for the GT. We’re also joined by Daniel, one of the judges, to hear about the competitive side of the convention. Then, in part two, Dennis and Kevin continue their narrative coverage with their experiences at the Dallas Open narrative event. Battles are fought, a hobby trophy is within reach, and someone ends up being the most famous!

It’s time for the second half of the double-codex release review, and this time, we’ve traded Richard for Dennis as we trade Orks for Custodes! The Emperor’s golden guard are here with their new 10th edition codex, and it’s definitely had… a reception by the community, that’s for sure. No need to be coy – this book is definitely weaker than the index that preceded it. But how exactly did that happen? What about this book makes it less powerful? Is this a sign of a larger trend in codex de-powering? And did we end up asking for it? Also, we address the biggest controversy to hit 40K in recent memory. Oh, and that other one, too.
