Manchester Super-Major Ignited! - Ep. 18

40K Fireside

Hey All, Welcome back to Episode 18 of the Fireside 40K podcast hosted by Vik Vijay & David Gaylard of Team Ignite. We're joined this episode by our good friend and founding member of Team Ignite, Brian Siepp, to discuss his incredible run to Top 4 at the Manchester Super-Major with Iron Hands (including the newly-infamous Desolation Marines). We go through what makes the Desolation Marines so strong and the tactics Brian used to get through his first 5 rounds before the cut with 497/500 battle points! Brian was also joined by Vik this weekend in Manchester, with Vik managing to pull out an undefeated run of 5-0 at the event with his innovative Aeldari list. We touch in detail about some thoughts on his list design as well as a more in-depth look into how he managed his Round 5 game against an optimised Dark Angels list with 20 Terminators and 10 Desolation Marines. With the balance dataslate hopefully just around the corner, we touch on some of the things we'd like to see included and we'll be releasing another episode with our initial reactions as soon as it does drop! As always, please let us know if you have any questions or feedback and it would be hugely helpful if you leave us a comments, like or review on any of the streaming platforms you use to listen to Fireside 40K! See you by the Fireside, Dave, Vik & Brian
