We cover the amazing new Darkoath announcement, as well as the state of the 40K meta.

Well, 2023 has almost left the building, and the new year awaits its glorious entrance. Thus, like the two heads Kairos Fateweaver himself, Adam and Josh the Warhipster are looking both back and forward in this New Year's special!

We chat through our highlights (and lowlights) of 2023 & our favourite models, as well as all the brilliant stuff we're looking forward to over the next year, from the stuff we're predicting to what we'd like to see - as well as setting a few hobby goals!!

Thanks to all of you for listening and supporting us through 2023, and from all of us at The Conclave, we hope you have a wonderful start to 2024!

Music: Auld Lang Syne - Chimney Givers ft. Anya Gold.

Yes, it's that time of the year once again, so the Conclave crew decided to get festive. In this extraordinary audio journey, Adam, Josh, Jaimie and Rich G cover all manner of seasonal delights and holiday tomfoolery - including getting (back) into Middle Earth on the tabletop, the delicious culinary delights of the Flesheater Courts, and Josh's desperate desire to go to a hypercompetitive 40K event in the New Year.

We do a roundup of ideal* gifts for the hobbyist in your life, whether as a main present or a secret Santa - for some unknown reason we also talk about pants, so if you've ever wanted to know what underwear your favourite podcasters wear, this is the episode for you!

We hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and happy hobbying!

In this episode, the gang chats through the preview and recent preorders and asks a key question: has 40K lost some of its panache when it comes to new model releases, particularly when compared to Age of Sigmar?

We also chat through our thoughts on GW's new website and the controversy around its update.

Jump in, and happy hobbying!

In this episode, the gang discuss the brand new Tyranid codex, as well as the big Balance Dataslate, and how it alters 10th Edition generally, as well as key changes for factions at the top and bottom of the competitive meta.

We also have some serious chat about GW's model for physical codexes and the 40K App, whether this represents value for the hobbyist, and where this model might be improved (and let us know your thoughts on this - it's a difficult topic to answer!).

Plus, listen in for our usual ramble through what's going on in the wider world of nerd entertainment and Josh's takes on what's wrong with Star Wars.

Plus, we discuss our thoughts on the Battle for Oghram and the new Tyranid reveals, as well as a bit of a history of GW's 'community campaigns' from yesteryear and the return of epic-scale 40K!

Welcome back to our spin-off show in the Conclave Podmatic Universe: Voices in the Warp! We've assembled a crack team of Conclavers for this new, relaxed, and entirely random show where we waffle on while we hobby away. Think of this as a hobby hangout, but recorded!

In this episode, Adam, and Rich G give a run-down of every faction preview for the new 10th Edition of 40K that have been shown so far on Warhammer Community. Join us as we cover key changes to Army Rules, unit profiles, and some spicy stratagems that look like they're going to be very impactful! This episode is a bit of a monster at just over 3 hours, so fire up your painting desk or settle in with a beverage of your choice, and come with us through the foothills of the new edition!

Happy Hobbying, and enjoy - and don't forget to let us know what you think by messaging us on Instagram (handles below)!

In this episode, Adam, Josh Rich and Jamie talk more about the slow drip-feed of reveals for 10th Edition that GW have been giving us, and discuss how to put these in context. In the spirit of last episode, the gang also fly off on some choice tangents. This week: Star Trek, The Mandalorian and Medieval History!

In this episode, Adam, Josh and Rich go through all the reveals from Adepticon 2023, and get hyped for new AoS armies, new Kill Teams and (of course) for the return of Lion El'Jonson and the advent of 10th Edition. Plus, we even boldly go where no-one has ever gone before (on this podcast) - now that's a tangent!

As the great Benedict Cucumberbatch once said, "We're in the endgame now". The penultimate book in the Siege of Terra series is here! And boy o boy do we have a lot to say about it! We of course also have to talk about the advancements in the 40K storyline and amazing arrivals of Commander Farsight and (dare we say it) potentially the Lion?!

We also go through our hobby progress, and Quipster talks through the awesome extensive lore for his loyalist Emperor's Children army for 30K.

In this episode, we talk about the pending release of everyone's favourite angry lads, the World Eaters, and whether their Codex represents a bit of a Sigmar-ification of 40K going forward! We also touch on whether the game is generally too complicated, while reminiscing about some of the absolute nonsense you could pull in earlier editions.

This week we had the brilliant Steve Conlin come on the show to chat all things Warhams! 

You probably know Steve best for being the (dashing) face and voice of Warhammer via his role as 'James Workshop', the anthropomorphized version of our plastic-slinging overlords from Nottingham, but he's also given life in Black Library audio dramas to iconic characters including Hamilcar Bear-Eater, Gotrek the Slayer and the Prophet of the Waagh himself, Ghazghkull Mag-Uruk Thraka (you've just got to give him his full name!), among many others.

Tune in as Steve gives us a rundown about what life is like as a voice actor and how he develops both beloved and band new characters to embody them in the studio! We also get a fun insight into Steve's history with the hobby, and why he might be in need of a Gloomspite Gitz painting tutorial in the near future!

In this episode, we talk about the upcoming changes to 40K which means it looks like we're effectively in Edition 9.5! Given this probably heralds the last 6th months of the current edition, we also take a look back at what we've enjoyed about 9th throughout 2022!

You will undoubtedly have heard that most terrible of news, Yarrick has been taken into the God Emperor's embrace. We discuss how we took the news, and how he and Quipster make very different uses of their power claws. In his name, we also talk about the new incredibly exciting new guard additions and what we see in the near future of Warhammer 40K!

Welcome back to our spin-off show in the Conclave Podmatic Universe: Voices in the Warp! We've assembled a crack team of Conclavers for this new, relaxed and entirely random show where we waffle on while we hobby away. Think of this as a hobby hangout, but recorded! 

Or, we did have a hobby hangout recorded until some clown turned off the Geller Field and the daemons ran off with our recording. Yes, that's right, we managed to lose 2.5 hours of the spiciest takes going. But never fear, for you, the listener (we know you're still tuning in Kevin) are our number 1 priority! Thus, despite it being into the wee hours ADRWargaming and Warhipster got together to record the little firecracker before you now. 

Tune in to hear us chat about 500pt games, whether 40K is a skirmish game, why Guilliman loves hab-blocks, and how you're all in fact actual hobbyists and not mere 'fans', even if some people disagree.

Normal service on VITW resumes shortly, and the main Conclave show will be wending its way from the depths of the Webway to your ears next week too, as per usual scheduling.

Happy Hobbying, and enjoy!

The Sandman is joined by 2 Warmasters, Ed and Nassim, who both had incredible performances at the London Grand Tournament this year! They're here to talk about their experiences and what changes they are excited about and would like to see in 40k!

Nick (@grimdark40kminis) joins us this week to discuss our favourite zealots in 40K! A huge fan of Sisters and Black Templars, Nick is very familiar with beings who will go to extreme lengths in order to please their God.

Like many of us, Nick found great solace in miniature painting over lockdown, but when an unforeseen disaster occurred, his hobby plans were largely derailed. However, this awesome Warhammer community in London (and around the world!) really rallied around him and he got to see firsthand how wonderful the wholesomeness in this community can be. He shares his story with us here.

Also in this episode, Nick speaks about a terrible loss the London Warhammer community suffered last year. To commemorate the life of Antonio 'Jacko' Giacchino, many of us have donated to Myositis UK. This is a charity that provides information to patients like Antonio that have been affected by Myositis. Myositis UK also provides vital funding for research to improve diagnosis and treatments. You can donate through the JustGiving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/antonio-giacchino

ADRWargaming and Quipster lead on a deep dive through the brand new Custodes codex, which is heating up the competitive meta only two weeks from release!

They're joined this week by all-round hobby legend and one of the kings of fluffy play when it comes to 40K, Jack Buckley (@iamskald on Instagram)! Jack happens to also be a fan of the Talons of the Emperor, and he gives his thoughts on how to build a force and play with the new codex.

The heavenly tomes have arrived from Games Workshop. The GSC and Custodes books are here and o'boy did they live up to everything we wanted them to be. Quipster and The Sandman go through what things they like about the book and what units they are most excited to play!

Joining them this week is the perfect guest, a man who plays both of these factions. The Doctor (Rhino) is in. He weighs in on the books as well and gives his perspective as someone who is newer to the factions.

As Dr. Rhino has done some amazing work over on Twitch to help raise some money for charity, we talk about his experience as well as some of the other amazing causes that have been benefitted by the fantastic Warhammer community.

It's just the Sandman and Rezza this week and boy are they excited! Following on from 40K's Balance Datasheet, the Grey Knights might just be the new boys on the (meta) block. Rezza himself is recently back from the Goonhammer Open where he had some awesome success with the Grey Knights and so he shares his sage and ancient wisdom.

We also go through the lore of the Grey Knights and give some initial impressions on the balance datasheet.

It will also surprise you, I'm sure, to find out that Quipster knows Winters. Well, he knows a hell of a lot more people as well now. We talk about his brilliant performance at the SN Battle Reports no retreat legends. #whereislysander

We now have a sponsorship with Versatile Terrain! You can find their awesome products at versatileterrain.co.uk

Needless to say... SPOILERS INSIDE. We enjoyed Warhawk so much that we thought why not have an episode where we go through our favourite parts. However, to do that, we felt like it would be good to add some context for listeners unfamiliar with the Siege of Terra. So the easiest thing to do is sum up the entire Horus Heresy in an hour right? It's a lot of fun and about a whole 17% accurate as well!

Quipster was also getting ready for No Retreat Legends at the time of recording so we also go over his process and feelings as it approaches. You can check out the SN battle report streams at https://www.youtube.com/c/snbattlereports

We are also pleased to announce our sponsorship with Versatile Terrain! We go through our uses for their awesome products and you can find them at versatileterrain.co.uk

Nick joins the Conclave for the first time to discuss his beloved Greenskins. Needing to scratch that itch over lockdown, Nick took to TTS like so many others. He gives us the lowdown on its uses and the potential ramifications that it will have on 40K in the future.

After a couple of us were fortunate enough to have gotten some of the coveted Beast Snagga Orks boxes, we share our opinions on the new Ork models and rules as well as some insights into the most powerful things the Cunnin' but Brutal gitz have got access to.

Da Boyz are gonna be krumpin!

Due to our editors being dispatched on a War of Faith this episode is a little later than usual, but tune in to hear our takes on the new 40K FAQ and updated GT pack secondaries. ADRWargaming also gives his (early, pre-release) thoughts on the shiny new Adepta Sororitas codex, including a fair bit of ranting as to WHY GW HAVE LEFT IMMOLATORS SO EXPENSI.....  It's ok listeners, we've stopped him!

We also play another of Rezza's gameshows, this time asking: If you could have any vehicle from 40K in real life, what would you have? Listen in to Quipster try and defend the Drop Pod now sitting uselessly in his backyard!

Quipster, The Sandman and Adam the Legal Department get together to discuss what they are all most excited about. They also talk about a question that has been flying around the community for a while now - Is Warhammer 40000 getting too complicated?
