Your list isn’t the problem… probably. But we’re going to blame it anyway.

This episode the Wobbly crew dives into one of the most argued parts of Warhammer 40K: list building. From copy-pasting tournament lists to crafting your own masterpiece, we talk about what actually helps you improve — and what might just be hobby noise.

In this episode we cover:

Premade lists – Are tournament lists and internet builds a shortcut to success, or a shortcut to confusion?

Starting a new army – Where do you even begin when building your first list?

Combat Patrol boxes – Great starting point or sneaky hobby trap?

What points level should you start at?

Great player vs great list – Can skill overcome a mediocre list?

The art of crafting a list – tools, planning, and building around what you actually own

AI generated lists – helpful tool or heresy? The team debates while running our own AI list experiment.

Along the way we talk hobby philosophy, the dangers of chasing the meta, and why learning your army might matter more than copying someone else’s list.

As always, we provide expert advice from people who are definitely not experts, so results may vary.
