In this episode of the “Grown Men Playing With Toys” podcast, Erik and Steve dive headfirst into the early days of 11th edition.  Fresh off the MFM drop, deep in terrain mechanics, and (for one of them) staring down a freshly nuked wasteland of 10th Edition lists, the guys approach the discussion from a perspective of “there’s a green field of list-building possibilities”.

Along the way they cover:

• The Hidden Mechanic That Isn’t — a deep dive into terrain’s new Ballistic Skill penalties, the “hidden” rule and why it may not be as good as it looks
• Run and Gun, Move Shoot Move — how cover changes are about to reward fast, mobile armies, and punish anyone who can’t find a re-roll
• Thanos-Snapping the App — app crashes, the gut-wrenching decision to delete 40 lists, and why starting from a clean slate turned out to be a blessing in disguise
• Carnival of Excess, Reimagined — Erik breaks down his rebuilt Emperor’s Children list and how losing his old lists led him somewhere he never would’ve gone otherwise
• Surprise! Steve Built a List — Steve unveils a Votann Death Star list built around Einhyr Hearthguard deep strikes, double Land Fortresses, and a dare to come take his objectives
• To Infinity and Beyond — Erik’s list-building bender reaches an absurd, slightly concerning number and Steve has thoughts

Whether you’re rebuilding your own army from scratch, still mourning your favorite 10th edition list, or just want to hear two grown men argue about whether Purge the Foe is actually the best Force Disposition or just the most comfortable…..this one’s for you.
