Adam and Greg attended their first tournment this month thanks to ScottyD's words of encouragement from episode 66.
It was a 27 player tournment, Greg took his Death Guard to prove a point, Adam took his Chaos Daemon horde to spread the joy and another member of the RLG40k group, Chris, took his almost meta Aeldari.
So how do you think they went?

This eposide is a reflection of the tournament. Not just on their results but the whole experience. Did it live up to the hype? Were they overwhelmed by regular tourney players? Did someone find dice in the toilet?

Have a listen and see if this encourages you to check out your local tournament scene.

Every faction has a unique trait that gives them flavour and a different style of play such as Death Guard have Disgustingly Resilience and Imperial forces have Armour of Contempt. 
But is this still unique to their factions? 
Damage reduction has become more common, APs have become higher, Invulnerable saves becoming redundant. 
Is there truly uniqueness to each faction any more?

We know Warhammer 40k is not an inexpensive hobby. We often cry foul at some of the costs.
But should we be complaining?
What is the real value of the hobby?
