This is a massive episode! Adam Camilleri went to an 87 player event with a REALLY left field list and won the whole thing, going 6 and 0. We talk about the list and go game-by-game through the event. There are SO many great ideas, tips, tricks and suggestions in this episode from a man who really understands the game. Check out all of Adam's work with the links below.

In this episode Steve is joined by Ben Hauser in Canada. Ben is an experienced Imperial Knights player who recently went to a teams event at which he couldn't take allies!! So what did he do? He went 5 and 0 with a very cool list, that's what. Ben explains his list, and we go game by game breaking down IK in a teams environment.
Enjoy!
(Also - I'm now humming the title of this episode to the tune of Arabian Nights from Alladin).
We'd love you to join the discord - or the patreon for the occasional Knightly rewards (but mostly just because it supports the podcast).
