WAAAGH? https://discord.gg/2dX5JqfNQ6–We've ducked and weaved through all of the end of 10th updates, the 11th edition previews and launch, and have firmly landed in codex territory. The Orks are up first. What. A. Book!11th edition has brought many new changes to how armies are created. Picking and choosing from multiple smaller detachments allows you to really carve out your own playstyle on the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop. Orks, an absolute staple of the game since its inception, has options coming out the whazoo. With new datasheets in Nazdreg, and the Big Mek Dakkarig, to a whopping 15 of those detachments, all elements of Orks receive love in a way not really seen for some time.

Do you agree with our rankings? Tell us at https://discord.gg/2dX5JqfNQ6–We're back to where it all started; we are redoing our original four episodes! Those inaugural episodes served as both an introduction to and a metrics-based review of each playable faction in Warhammer 40,000. With 11th edition landing hot and new players joining the scene, we feel it's a great time to revisit this faction breakdown format.For the final and fourth episode, we are covering the Xenos factions. Aliens!From the classic archetypes of greenskin Orks and elven "Aeldari", to cosmic horror hivemind "Tyranids" and the technologically advanced "Tau Empire", Warhammer isn't short on interesting factions to populate alongside humanity and its dark, chaotic mirrors.–This series blends matter-of-fact orientation with opinionated review. We give each of the four categories a ranking between 1-5, and an overall score out of 20. We call this the S.L.A.G. ranking. We feel these categories cover all you need to know:STYLE - the overall aesthetic and whether we feel it is fully realised.LORE - their place in the universe, how they are represented, and how they carry themselves within the epic.ACCESSIBILITY - whether the faction is easy to acquire, paint, and get going with.GAMEPLAY - how all of the above comes to life on the tabletop, whether their rules serve the faction well, and whether the faction does well both casually and competitively.–TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro and recapping this mini-series02:41 Aeldari AKA Jedi Elves19:39 Drukhari AKA Sith Elves31:01 Genestealer Cults-- ah!
