The episode opens with a review of some of the recent
dataslates that were released in White Dwarf.
I felt like the reduced cast for this episode really helped with the review
as it seemed more focused. The first
segment also contained some discussion about what they are expecting with the
next Necron codex. On a personal level,
I really enjoyed the part about pariahs.
I still have fond memories of using them in 3rd edition to
scare an opponent’s army off the board at Adepticon.
The next segment was an interview with Steve, owner of the
Miniature Market. At first, I felt the
interview was insightful on how the relationship between retailer and GW
works. That said, as it progressed, the
interview became a series of complaints about the company. I get that GW is notorious for their business
practices, but this interview came off as bitter and unenjoyable.
When it came to the listener email segment, the discussion
about reviewing bad units stood out the most to me. I don’t know if I share the show’s opinion
that a review cannot be honest and still maintain an air of positivity. It seems to me that a good review can point
out potential uses while still presenting a case for why there are better
options.
