In this episode of the podcast, we reverse the usually structure. Rather than start with the deep dive, we start how we feel a player would for Solar Auxilia, with an ally detachment. We start with a basic overview and army rules, then get into the list. In particular, we go over how to use the combat patrol for 40k as a jumping off point for the army.

In this episode Dave and Dan go over the changes that occured for Conquest: the last argument of kings when it went to a new edition this week. At the time of recording, the unit rules had not released, but are out as of editing, so I trimmed any off speculation. If your liking the coverage, be sure to subscribe and let us know so we keep it up. Remember we have our facebook to keep up with news and a discord for hanging out.

In this episode Dave and Dan go over why Conquest is a great game that should be getting a look from you. We do a high level overview of the game, discussing its history, how it plays, what are its upsides and why it might not be for you. With the second edition rules having just released, now is a great time to look it over. We will be back to 30k soon, but intermixing this content as well.
