It's total Chaos - again! In this episode Steve and Ratnu talk to Dick van der Harst from the Netherlands about the Houndpack Lance detachment. When Ratnu (the number 1 ranked CK player in the world) tells you Dick is the best at Houndpack - you listen. We look at Dick's current list, what changes he'd make, how to play the detachment, whether a big knight has any place here, allies, match ups and more.

In this episode Steve speaks to Adam Camilleri about the Gate Warden Lance detachment for IK. Adam has been grinding the reps with GWL and has learned a LOT! And there are very few people around the game that have a better analytical mind, and who are better at communicating what they know. We talk lists and units, and strategy, and allies, and how to play on the line.

The team is:
Steve Joll. Compeitive IK player who hasn't yet cracked anything better than X and 1. Occasional winner of 'Best Painted Army'
Stig. Tabletop Tactics legend and IK enthusiast who gets to play our favourite army on one of the world's biggest 40k channels.
Brian Jones. Literally the best IK player in the world right now. Brian is an Art of War coach and member of the US national WTC team.
Rees Darvill. One of the best Imperial Knights players in the world. Current Number 1 in the ITC.
Ratnu Vaidya. The best in the world with Chaos Knights last ITC season, and off to a blazing hot start in 2025 with CK. Consistently finishing at or near the top of 40k events.
