FTN Episode 526 – NEW Astra Militarum Codex Review – 2025 – Does Cadia Stand Up to the Meta?

Wow.  There is so much in this Codex and it is awesome.  There are clear moves to keep it balanced but it doesn’t take the power away.  Generals will be making choices when they make their army lists and then can make totally new lists with different play styles the next time. Come take a listen…

Hey folks,

Please consider grabbing an FTN T-shirt to help us celebrate the shows anniversary. The link can be found here. Proceeds will go to doing something nice for cast members of the show. The sticker is cool too and has been on my laptop for a year.  It’s the best sticker I’ve ever owned.

We also started a Patreon for the FTN show.  This will help us a lot in the form of being able to hire an editor and a few other things.   If it is anywhere within your ability to support us on that platform please consider doing so. The link is right here.

One thing is for certain – Rogal Dorn Tank Commanders are going to make a splash.  The new Krieg Special Character – Lord Marshal Drier is going to make a splash.  The Demolisher is no longer an auto include. – more take variants will be good to face off against and experiment with.

I’m pleased to say we have a link for the official Warhammer Merchandise Store!  Check out our link here if you plan on picking up something!

We are all really digging that.  What is best will come down to a few thing still – points and the meta.  I guess the terrain has a lot to do with it too.  Some of this stuff is either big or on big bases.  Its a lot to consider.  The cool thing is that it is a fun puzzle to solve.  How do we get to use our cool models and put together something powerful?  So many good options in this dex.

We talk largely about the new stuff and the biggest changes from what the Guard uses today.
