Your list isn’t the problem… probably. But we’re going to blame it anyway.

This episode the Wobbly crew dives into one of the most argued parts of Warhammer 40K: list building. From copy-pasting tournament lists to crafting your own masterpiece, we talk about what actually helps you improve — and what might just be hobby noise.

In this episode we cover:

Premade lists – Are tournament lists and internet builds a shortcut to success, or a shortcut to confusion?

Starting a new army – Where do you even begin when building your first list?

Combat Patrol boxes – Great starting point or sneaky hobby trap?

What points level should you start at?

Great player vs great list – Can skill overcome a mediocre list?

The art of crafting a list – tools, planning, and building around what you actually own

AI generated lists – helpful tool or heresy? The team debates while running our own AI list experiment.

Along the way we talk hobby philosophy, the dangers of chasing the meta, and why learning your army might matter more than copying someone else’s list.

As always, we provide expert advice from people who are definitely not experts, so results may vary.

Episode 96 – Survive the Cull

11th Edition is on the horizon — and if history tells us anything, something isn’t surviving the transition.

In this episode, we look at which units across Warhammer 40,000 might be on borrowed time. From Space Marine redundancies to Astra Militarum edge cases, and the quiet decline of Flyers and Fortifications, we break down the patterns behind the cull.

This isn’t panic — it’s pattern recognition.

Cull doesn’t mean death.
But it does mean change.

The Warp is stirring… and that usually means change.

In this episode of Wobbly Player Syndrome, we look ahead to the next year of Warhammer 40,000 and read the signs pointing toward 11th Edition. No leaks. No doomposting. Just experienced players connecting the dots from recent rules, releases, and design trends coming out of Games Workshop.

We talk faction fortunes, rules direction, hobby trends, and the big questions every 40K player is asking right now: who’s set up to win, what’s about to change, and what’s worth paying attention to as the edition cycle turns.

If you want informed speculation, genuine hype, and a clear-eyed look at where the game is heading, this one’s for you.

The Warp is whispering. The year ahead is going to be big.

In Episode 94, the hosts take a hard look back at the Warhammer hobby in 2025 and ask a blunt but necessary question of Games Workshop: what have you actually done for us lately?

This is a year-in-review episode that cuts through the hype to examine the good, the bad, and the ugly. Which factions genuinely received attention and meaningful support—and which were left waiting? Were the reveals and roadmaps exciting, or did some feel like teases without delivery? And in a year full of previews, balance updates, and edition talk, where did expectations line up with reality… and where did they miss the mark entirely?

The conversation also turns inward. After everything that happened in 2025, how do we actually feel about the hobby right now? Are we still excited? Still optimistic? Or just cautiously hopeful?

This episode is equal parts critique, reflection, and honest discussion—no salt for the sake of it, but no blind praise either. If you’ve ridden the highs and lows of Warhammer this year, this one’s for you.

The Wobbly Player Syndrome crew gather on the therapist’s couch to check in on Games Workshop’s mental health. From surprise rule updates to another round of “how to play 10th Edition” guides — all while 11th Edition looms just six months away — the team asks: what’s going on in Nottingham?

Join Greg, Mike, Mark, and Adam as they discuss the logic (or lack thereof) behind recent GW decisions, the impact on the player base, and whether we’re all just along for the wobbly ride.

💛 A Serious Note:
While we poke fun this episode with the “R U OK?” theme, it’s a genuine reminder to check in on your mates. Mental health matters — and sometimes, simply asking “Are you OK?” can start a life-changing conversation.

This month the team dives deep into the world of Math-Hammer — the art (or curse) of trying to calculate every roll, probability, and statistical edge in Warhammer 40K. Is it worth crunching the numbers, or will the dice gods laugh at your spreadsheets?

Join Greg, Adam, Mike, and Mark as they debate whether math-hammering your games actually helps you win, or just ruins the fun. We’ll look at:
⚙️ The pros and cons of playing by the odds
📊 The rise of Math-Hammer apps and tools
🎯 Why probability theory never survives first contact with the tabletop
🤣 Plus our usual hobby progress, battle stories, and a few questionable calculations!

Episode 91 – The Ten Re-Commandments
Tonight on Wobbly Player Syndrome, the crew lays down their tablets of wisdom for Warhammer 40K’s 10th Edition. We bring forward a longtime podcast friend's ideas on their “10 re-commandments” — ideas, tweaks, and improvements that could sharpen the rules, smooth the gameplay, or make the game more enjoyable. Expect laughs, debate, and the occasional heretical suggestion as we carve out our vision for a better 10th.

1) Codex-specific objectives.
2) Fewer shots and fewer attacks in the shooting and fight phase.
3) Only reroll 1s
4) Better moral rules.
5) Overwatch back to 12 inches.
6) Charge phase double 1s always fail. Double 6s give a bonus.
7) Vehicles. Firing arcs returned
8) Bring back terrain effects. Hazardous terrain and movement restrictions.
9) Unit leaders need to be important again.
10) Maybe the most contentious suggestion...charge distance bonus or negative based on base movement. Movement 1-3" (-1), 4-8 no modifier, 9+" (+1). Faster units should be better at charging

What do you think about the top ten recommendations?

Welcome to The Great Corruption-Off! In this episode of Wobbly Player Syndrome, the hosts don their most heretical hats and each take on the role of a Chaos Space Marine recruiter. From the plague-ridden zeal of the Death Guard to the blood-soaked glory of the World Eaters, from the sensual whispers of the Emperor’s Children to the sorcerous schemes of the Thousand Sons—and of course, the unyielding ambition of the Black Legion—they’ll each try to pitch YOU on why their Legion deserves your soul... and possibly your skull.

Who will win your allegiance? Who will earn your damnation? And will anyone actually survive the sales pitch?

Prepare to laugh, cringe, and maybe question your loyalty to the Emperor.
