This week Holly takes the wheel as she tells us (and you) all about her faction, the Adepta Sororitas, the nuns with guns. She tells us who they are, what their vibe is, and most importantly why Holly chose them as her army!

Because she's a treasure, Holly has even created a handy little system of critera to evaluate her faction through (which we will definately be stealing for future episodes). We look into our favourite zealots through the lenses of lore, look, cost, gameplay, and space.

Due in part to learning but mostly to having fun we go over time (again). Also, a podcast first, we cut a joke for reasons of tact and taste - but we absolutely leave in all the backchat, but you can't sue us now! (please don't try.)

This week we are back baybeee! No more dry stuffy rules to wade through, we've got a palette full of energy and more discussion than you can shake a paintbrush at.

Which is to say El, Rosa & Holly are back to share our feelings on starting to paint. The joys, the roadblocks, and some of the most important things to keep in mind when you start (in our expert opinions).

We talk about basing, acrylic paint, what airbrushes are (and why you don't super need one unless you're Rosa), and all sorts of painting odds and ends. Honestly, we just spend quite a lot of time being excited about how fun painting can be, and how interesting it is as a subject.

But it wouldn't be FTH if we didn't also get entirely sidelined by such subjects as making units worse on purpose, rainbow poops and iridescent piss, and what a maket is (we tell you, don't worry). Also El has finally sorted their mic out.

I'm not gonna lie, I think this is the best episode we've done. Enjoy!

In this episode we finish off our intro to rules, as El desperately tries to hammer through A LOT OF RULES while Rosa and Holly continue to be excellently patient students. We cover setting up your table, missions, terrain, deployment AND ALSO cover each of the five phases of a player turn, explaining all the way. (El here: this was entirely too much talking from me, I’m looking forward to taking off my teacher’s tie next time).

But of course we deviate as well, so Holly talks football, Rosa makes sex jokes, and the Tau feature prominently in ‘examples of things that terrify El’.

Listeners may notice that El’s microphone is now different and much more sophisticated! And is therefore causing audio issues in a whole new variety of ways. Please continue to tell them the mic needs work. It helps, probably.

Lastly, IF YOU ENJOYED THIS PODCAST, or if you have thoughts to add in, please let us know! We crave your feedback like a vampire craves blood (and for not entirely dissimilar reasons) and we really really appreciate it too. Aaand hey, like, subscribe, all that nonsense as well. Be a champ, you know you want to.
