14 - Command Points, a Codex, and Chores. The Struggle is Real.

Adulting is hard and life gets busy.....especially if you are a try-hard who gets over-invested in their hobbies like Erik and Steve.

In this episode, the guys will talk about balancing their 40K goals with life's challenges and how they fit it all in.  They'll compare how Steve prepared for his recently completed marathon and how it oddly mirrors Erik's approach for staying current and up to date with Warhammer 40K.   They'll discuss how both activities require a consistent amount of effort, a level of insanity to get into seriously, and not a small amount of time investment to do well.   

Listen in to hear how Erik pulled practiced habits from Steve's running and applied them to get better at 40K, as the guys share how they work dedication to a thing (be it running a marathon or playing toy soldiers competently) into their busy lives, and, most importantly, how they are preparing for the upcoming Winter Barn Hammer Session.
