In this episode, we talk about power fantasy; how it shows up in media and games and especially how it is represented in 40K. Rules in the game of 40K that allow players to act out the power fantasy of their army can often be at odds with the balance of the game, so we will discuss the tension between the two and how it impacts the state of the game with each new book that is released.

Welcome to the 7th annual Battlehosts Christmas episode. In this episode, we cover the major events and releases for 40K and discuss the state of the hobby as we near the end of 2021. We also talk about the state of the 40K community and our wishes for next year.

Special Announcement

The Battlehosts podcast is changing again. We will no longer be a regular bi-weekly or monthly podcast. I can’t say exactly what the pace will be or when the next episode will be out, or even how many I will do each year. But I do know that we won’t be a regular podcast like we used to be.

Consider each episode an unexpected Christmas gift you get throughout the year.
