Episode 59 - Competition and 40k: Part 3 (Elite Level Play)

Episode 59 is a huge one! For those that do not like long episodes, we apologize. However, there is a TON of great information in this episode. After we lead off with our usual Workbench and Games Played section, we dive into the third, and final episode around Competition and Warhammer 40k.

To help us along we have brought in some of the big guns of the Warhammer 40k Tournament Scenes. TastyTaste from Blood of Kittens, who follows the ongoing GT circuit joins us for some discussion followed by Ben Mohlie (former Team Captain of ETC Team USA), Mike Brandt (Organizer of The Nova Open), Tony Kopach (2 time winner of The Nova Open and 1 time winner of Adepticon), and last but not least Blackmoor (Tournament Competitor and regular on The 11th Company Podcast). Each of these community players weighs in with their thoughts around competition and a whole lot more!

It's a long show to sit through, but is a fitting cap on the whole series of Competitive episodes we have been running.

We hope you enjoy!
