FTN Episode 263 – Are You Prepared For The New Ork Meta?

FTN small square

Orks are now out in the wild but so far their tournament results haven’t caught up to their power potential.   We discuss ways to confront the Ork builds we expect to see on this episode.  What’s wORKing for you?

Hey all,

I am terribly sorry we missed a week.  I know the holiday times always cause schedules to shift but I hate missing an episode.  I promise we’ll make it up with some bonus content soon.  Thanks for your patience.

We ooh and ahh over the Vigilus Campaign news from the recent weekender at the top of the show.  The figures, story and just volume of news is amazing.  I genuinely didn’t expect to see it all.  We even had a new freaking TITAN put on display.

The move to a more Primaris Space Marine look is expected and none us knew when this was going to happen… it seems like the writing is on the wall now with the release of Calgar in a bigger, better, bluer form.  I don’t expect all regular marines to just disappear but If you like playing with guys in power armor and haven’t make the switch to Primaris, it’s likely time to get them on your painting table.

In the second part of the show we discuss a few ways to make fighting Orks more manageable. We talk about about a few things you should pack in every army and give a few tips on Target Priority.  This shot in the arm for the ‘meta’ is very welcome.  We have a new top tier codex that, just by the fact that it exists, may move at least one more codex into that category.

We’re delighted to continue to represent Discount Games Inc as sponsor of our show. They are helping bring FTN to you. Please check them out and support the organizations that support us. Discount Games Inc. offers Games Workshop products at 15% off the suggested retail at their website here. You can send an email to the owner Jay. These guys run a podcast too! Check them out.

We also welcome Firmer Terra this week as a sponsor.  I had a great time speaking with one of the founders and I thought their offering would be PERFECT for a lot of gamers out there.  Right now they are offering impressive shipping promotions to buyers in the US.  Please check them out. Next week we’ll show off some pics but do yourself a favor and check out their site while this promotion is underway.

The Finishing Moves segment will be back next week! We’ll talk about how to fail with style.

Thank you and Enjoy!

Forge the Narrative is mostly a Warhammer 40k Podcast. Each episode is about an hour long. This ideally gives you something neat to listen to on your way to work, or on the way back home. Maybe you can even listen while you are painting or modeling!

Please follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook!

FTN mostly focuses on 40k, but again you will see in the first few episodes we take a severe deep dive into nerdom. These have been a blast to record and I hope they help pass the time for you.
