FTN Episode 307 – Is it Better to Attack or Join the 40k Tournament Meta?

If we are correct in predicting that the Salamanders will be the army list to beat soon is it better to get on board the Salamander train or build lists that beat them?  With all the Marine goodness coming out what are the Xenos players taking?  Are Tau the ultimate list?

Hi everyone,

We jump right in taking some major assumptions that Salamanders are going to be strong.  They will be so strong they will attract a lot of fringe Marine players.  Do you beat them or join them?

Tau have a ton of really good options, especially against opponents with limited long range effectiveness.   Armies with gun platform transports are also at a huge advantage.  Right now any unit with 2-3 guns with over 10 wounds is on my watch list for units to take.

Almost every hobby moment I’ve got is devoted to getting ready for a couple of tournaments coming up. That includes the brevity of these show notes! Many apologies – better show notes coming soon..

Forge the Narrative is mostly a Warhammer 40k Podcast. Each episode is about an hour long. This ideally gives you something neat to listen to on your way to work, or on the way back home. Maybe you can even listen while you are painting or modeling!
