Today PeteyPab and Co-Host Val Heffelfinger review 2017 with Usage Statistics, Performance Analysis, and Tournament Results for each faction in 40k as well as give their own thoughts on 2017 and how it shaped competitive 40k history.

Please do not send an army list in a format such as Army Builder, send them in an easy to read, typed format. Thanks!
*Start of 8th*
Me: “Hey wanna start 40k”
Friend: “Sure, what do you recommend”
Me: “Orks, DE or Necrons”
Friend: “Which are the cheap and good ones in game”
Me: “Necrons I think”
I feel evil 🙁
Sadly you can’t meassure out Khorne Chaos Daemons. I’m sure necrons and deathwatch would rip them to shreds.
Also, I’ve no idea what Top placing Slaanesh Daemons list you were talking about. Please share.
I thought Smite-Spam was pretty fun. :^)
Healthy bias there, though. The changes were for the best.
Wow, a fascinating podcast!
Great job guys.
Chaos players typically complain about everything. Maybe having unquestionable data showing how good they’ve got it will finally cheer them up 😀
I’ll say why I complained. Because almost every episode was “omg malefic lords, brimstones, etc” so I always added “but what about conscripts, mortar teams” so stuff would be balanced :p
A thoroughly enjoyable episode, very enlightening. Out of curiosity, what are the 15 tournaments you used for your data at the end?
Really enjoyed the podcast. The statistics were very interesting, but I guess that there are a lot of differences on a local meta level. s
I hope you will do another one next year when the codices are out.
I’m a Necron player and have struggled against higher tier armies, but none the less I’ve enjoyed the game. We all know that codices are on the way and GW seems adamant to balance the factions so I’m positive. This will not be done over night, but GWs effort is already a thousand times better than in the other editions
So what I’m hearing from several people is I have scores that need to be consolidated. How would I go about doing that?
Find the scores you need consolidated, fill out the correction form from Best Coast Pairings and send it to itc@bestcoastpairings.com .
We process those in batches once a week.
Cool where do I find that form or do I email and request that first
Shoot an email to us, buddy: Frankie@FrontlineGaming.org and we’ll get you the form to fill out.
Didn’t even talk about Dark Mechanicus which is clearly the best faction of all 😉
Just wanted to chime in as one of your rare podcast listeners who has never been to a tournament etc.
I love the wh40k lore and the digital versions of the game (including some vassal). I’ve always kept up with the news and meta trends out of curiousity.
I also follow the FLG news and batreps
All the great reviews of 8th encouraged me to finally commit and get some models and rev up for the hobby side.
I’ve glued and painted my first models ever and am working towards attending actual TT games in person in 2018 (including BAO hopefully). I think the Martinez store would have been my FLGS if it still existed…
I play 40k, but live in rural Ohio and mostly just get enjoyment out of the hobby aspect of the game. I’ve never played in a tournament of ANY type, though I do find myself tuning my lists as if I’m headed to LVO (which I probably never will do).
I haven’t listened to all of your episodes, but I do enjoy your content. Keep it up.
