FTN Episode 396 – What is Core? Baby, Don’t Hurt Me

We talk a bit about the Admech FAQ we received at the end of last week but mostly we have a healthy discussion about ‘what is core’ and why it seems to be different for several armies.  What do you think it is?  Is it just a rule that we’re supposed to min/max or is it something in the DNA of the faction itself?

Hey all,

A little bit shorter of an episode this week than we normally do but we’ve had to juggle some schedules and should be back on track next week!

We do a complete theoretical discussion about the nature of CORE as a keyword and as a trait of the lore of  the army.

Not every codex seems to be benefiting from this in the same way.  We don’t solve any puzzles here but it’s cool to hear the cast’s perspective.  Fair warning… There is a little Necron salt in this show but it’s all in good fun.

When you’re making lists do you pay attention to the CORE keyword at all outside of deciding which buffs go where and what Stratagems you  can use?

I don’t think many of us do.

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!

Please follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook!

FTN mostly focuses on 40k, but again you will see in the first few episodes we take a severe deep dive into nerdom. These have been a blast to record and I hope they help pass the time for you. We are now on Pandora!! If you’re looking for another place to listen or you’ve shifted to that platform you can find us there.
