Grown Men Playing with Toys

Join us as friends (strategic, stoic “Erik” and observant, energetic “Steve”) discuss topics and experiences that surround their world of Warhammer gaming.

Our goal is to explore the intersection of casual and competitive 40K thru a balance sharing stories about our funniest, most frustrating, or straight up craziest Warhammer experiences (Steve’s goal) with deep, analytical thinking about the game and how to improve at it (Erik’s goal). Beyond that, it’s an excuse for two friends to talk and share how the lessons learned playing with our toy soldiers have enriched our lives and deepened our friendship.”

In this episode, Erik and Steve discuss why playing 40K can feel so personal. They share stories about times that they became too invested in their toys, talk about why that may be, and discuss how to potentially overcome it while still loving your faction and models of choice.
