FTN Episode 449 – Convention ReCaps – NoVA Is a Blast!

After an action packed weekend we’re back to our normal schedule.  We talk a little about the NOVA Open and the incredible hobby on display that weekend.  The Necrons took the crown and it’s hard to even consider them being stopped at this point.  The back half of the show has us asking ‘what makes a Codex good?’  What are your thoughts on that?

Hey folks,

Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.

It’s just Tanya, Adam and Paul this week.  Red should be returning next week.  We know we’ve been missing some Chaos hot takes without him.

Paul hit Dragon Con in ATL and the NOVA Open in DC last weekend.  It was a whirlwind but still amazing on all counts. The armies on display at NOVA might have been better pound for pound than you see at any tournament anywhere in the world.

Later in the episode we ask ‘What makes a Codex good?’  Like how do you judge is the book is awesome and what is your criteria?  Is one good list enough?  Is a unit to underpin your entire army list all you need?  Do you need 4 or 5 ways to build a competitive list to tickle your fancy?

I definitely like to see books with several build options and archetypes available before I call a Codex great. With that said I know I’ve certainly been more than satisfied as long as I could play my faction and win more games than I lost and occasionally take hope a top prize at an event.

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.
