Episode 12 – Tyranid Attack!

In the latest episode of The Tactical Squad podcast, Liz and Alex are joined by Mark and Travis for a four person cast. We discuss Alex’s second place finish at Canadian Nationals, the recently announced fifth War Pack in the Planetfall cycle, Wrath of the Crusaders, and dive into a detailed analysis of the new Tyranid cards released in The Great Devourer.

We also announced a new contest. We are starting The Tactical Squad deck club. Every month we will be selecting a different warlord and challenging listeners to come up with the own decks for that warlord. We encourage you to try those decks out in your local scene and then submit your best decks in the comments on this post – with your thoughts on how they play – for a chance to win a Warhammer 40,000: Conquest promotion card from previous Organized Play events.

For our inaugural month, we are going big and asking listeners to contribute decks for either of the two new Tyranid warlords from The Great Devourer. After Worlds in early November we will be going through the list of submitted decks and selecting one submitter for each warlord to receive a copy of the promotional Fireblade Kais’Vre, which was given out for competitors at national events this year. We will also discuss some of our favourites on the podcast.

Episode 11 – Great Devourer Core Units Review

This week on our Warhammer 40,000: Conquest podcast: We welcome Liz back, she fills us in on her Gencon experience. We quickly go over the FFG preview for the 4th warpack, What Lurks Below then jump straight into the core factions from the Great Devourer deluxe expansion. Finally, we end it off with a brand new contest.

Update: The conclusion about subdual is that target card must be in play. Rules Reference Guide page 8 under “In Play and Out of Play”

Episode 9 – Planetfall Preview and Deckbuilding Archetypes

There is a lot to talk about this episode.  First we take a look at the upcoming Planetfall Cycle.  Then we discuss some of the recent Regionals tournaments.  We finish things off by taking a look at some of the most common archetypes in Warhammer 40,000: Conquest deckbuilding.

Episode 8: Descendants of Isha

It is two warlords for the price of one in our review of Descendents of Isha, the sixth and final War Pack from the Warlord Cycle.  Baharroth is the new Eldar warlord and our hosts try to decide whether his Mobile keyword is enough to make up for what feels like a lackluster signature squad. On the other hand, Urien Rakarth flips expectations on their heads with only two units in his signature squad.  The team is skeptical about whether he will dethrone Packmaster Kith as the reigning champion in Dark Eldar players’ hearts.  This episode is MAMMOTH in length!
