4G The

Hey everybody, this is Paul from Forge's The Narrative.

I'm joined today by Mr. Robin Crudis.

How are you doing?

We are in the Games Workshop HQ, specifically in the employee commissary.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, in the canteen.

The only little place we can find the way that's quiet is it's mad out there.

It's just, yeah, people buzzing around full of excitement in 40,000. Bugland's Bar is rammed. There's a pub quiz going on right now. There's a pub quiz going on right now. We've kind of stepped out to kind of like have a chat here. But yeah, they seem to having loads of fun. And we just came off of you playing a game of Warhammer 40K, 8th edition, and I was running commentary on Warhammer TV. Yeah, how was that? It was awesome. Yeah. I never get tired of talking about this stuff. I don't get tired about playing it. It was a great game. Really, really, really good. Before we started recording this, you were talking about that game and I guess the joy that you were describing the game did not go very well for you.

No, no, no, no, I lost.

My little strike force was wiped off the table, but only just, literally with the last dice

role of the game.

You were playing Halling Griffins.

Yeah, so I had my Halengriffins and they had a kind of allied Imperial Knight with

them and I was going up against

the astro militarum and yeah that was just a all the way through that was just a really really tough

fight was really good the asthmilitar are very strong they get all the toys and the toys got better

the toys got better the the thing that kind of surprised me on the list was, because we were

playing 1500 points, so a fairly small game, but the Colonel had still managed to squeeze a brigade

in that. So he just came to the table with 12 command points, and that was the thing which

really cinched it for him. It was just the ability to just re-roll those critical dice rolls at every single command points. And you came in with three. I came in with three because, yeah, I've got an Imperial knife. I thought, it needs command points, yeah. Who needs luck when you have a knight? I've got raw firepower. I've got might on my side. No, I needed command points is what I needed. I know we just jump right into it, but tell us about what your role in this

Remember 40K 8th edition is.

Cool. So I am the lead rules writer on 1,000-40,000s.
