In this episode special guest Ben Jurek - Art of War 40k coach and member of the Team USA WTC coaching group - talks us through his almost undefeated run at the GW Tacoma super major. Ben finished in the top 3 with Canis, 3 Atropos' and some Helverins. No sisters, no agents, no Warglaives and no enhancements. How?
Ben and Steve talk through every game, his overall approach and we get some tips on how to deal with specific armies. He's a brilliant guest and this is a lot of fun! Also - we have brand new dice!! They literally dropped a few minutes before we recorded the episode, so there's a bit of excitement.

In this episode the King of Chaos Knights is back! Ratnu Vaidya went 7 and 0 to come second at the Leeds Supermajor. 300 players, 7 rounds against some of the very best in the world, and he did it with 4 big knights in an Infernal Lance list! We go game by game through some incredibly tough match ups to see how he did it, and break down his thinking and tactics and some of the key moments.
There's a LOT in here for both CK and IK players. Massive thanks to Ratnu once again for his time!
