Get ready. It's time to forge the narrative.

Hey everybody, welcome to Forge Narrative. My name is Paul Murphy, your host. I'm joined

today by Andrew Whitaker and Chris Morgan.

What's up guys? Like a rock star. Largest arms in 40K, Justin Troupe. We are back, baby. Yeah, thank you all for hanging in with me while I was traveling. I'm going to talk a little bit about the travel. I'm on board you guys with all the details. We did take a little bit of a break. I'm hoping to come in strong with some of this content. As a matter of fact, Chris Morgan and I did

an interview with Gav Thorpe a couple days ago. take a little bit of a break. I'm hoping to come in strong with some of this content. As a matter of

fact, Chris Morgan and I did an interview with Gav Thorpe a couple days ago that we're going to put about 25, 30 minutes into this show. That was a really fun conversation with Gap. He's a really cool dude and of course been around Gaines Workshop for what, two decades or more, more than that, I guess at this point, since he started like in 93.

Any of you 40K old timers are going to be like walking down. workshop for what two decades or more more than that I guess at this point so he started like

in 93 any you 40k old timers are going to be like walking down nostalgia lane as we talk with

them because we cover a whole range of stuff I was just saying that's some star power man got

uh got gab coming on and who are the other guests or did you uh well that's we'll see about that

we got we got probably a whole other bonus episode coming out this week, if I can put it all together. But I think, I didn't mean to let the cat out of the bag. I just know that we brought in some big guns. It's okay. I hope it all comes together. And if it doesn't, well, I think, you know, if you don't hear anything else, it didn't come together. but hopefully hopefully then our listeners will just have to settle for the star power of just a troop

and that you know, if you don't hear anything else, it didn't come to get it. But hopefully it'll be. Then our listeners will just have to settle for the star power of Justin Troop. And that's enough to fill anyone's soul. So I'm good with that. So ATC coming up at the, I guess, towards the end of this month. And the due date for list is the 10th. So July 10th is when the due dates, captains have to have all the list

submitted. Yeah, it's going to be exciting to see because historically they've been posting those

lists here. They will. They will post them up. Yeah. So I'm pretty anxious to see kind of like

what people have come up with with some of the changes that have been happening recently,

the erratas and whatnot, I think that

we're going to see some pretty interesting combos. I can honestly say that on my team, my list is the

most boring. Everyone else came up with like exciting, dynamic, very interesting, a powerful list.

I think mine is the most boring. When all the lists get posted, it is funny, you know, whether your list is boring, someone across the country is like, because their local meta hasn't seen it. Or maybe not yours. Yeah, I get it. I know what you're saying. The scope of the list is crazy. Like, we get on there. Like, it's like Christmas morning. Like the lists go up and like all of us, our jobs will just, they will lose an hour

and a half of productivity as all of us are all just click, clacking away on G chat, reading these lists, making comment, looking at the power teams, historically, like successful teams and saying, like, what are these guys bringing this year? Yeah, and it's a good, it's a good litmus test, I guess, for what the meta is, and you can see what it will be at the event.

And so you can start to mentally prepare yourself for the pairing system. And that's one of the main reasons that they publish the list ahead of time is to get people kind of at least familiar with what they might see. So the pairing goes, the pairings go a little bit smoother. Yeah, I love it. I it I can't wait man and all the coverage and stuff that we're going to have coming from the event and stuff it's it's going to be a great time this is going to this is going to be a very large event tons of people milling them out playing 40k they could have some other events going on during during that time I'm bringing my family with me again this year. It's only, the event's only like

an hour and 10 minutes away from my house. So it's real easy for me to get up there with everybody. Wow, that's neat. I mean, ATC is such a, such a fun time to kind of see what's going on in the hobby because there's so many people that are involved with that. All the chit chat, all the talk, and then all the recap afterwards,
