We're back to where it all started; we are redoing our original four episodes! Those inaugural episodes served as both an introduction to and a metrics-based review of each playable faction in Warhammer 40,000. With 11th edition landing hot and new players joining the scene, we feel it's a great time to revisit this faction breakdown format.
For our third of four episodes, it's all about CHAOS. From the daemons of the four dark gods: Khorne, Tzeentch, Slaanesh, and Nurgle, to their mortal champions of the Heretic Astartes, we cover all the factions of the traitor and the warp.

This series blends matter-of-fact orientation with opinionated review. We give each of the four categories a ranking between 1-5, and an overall score out of 20. We call this the S.L.A.G. ranking. We feel these categories cover all you need to know:
STYLE - the overall aesthetic and whether we feel it is fully realised.
LORE - their place in the universe, how they are represented, and how they carry themselves within the epic.
ACCESSIBILITY - whether the faction is easy to acquire, paint, and get going with.
GAMEPLAY - how all of the above comes to life on the tabletop, whether their rules serve the faction well, and whether the faction does well both casually and competitively.

**TTP Field Manual** is brought to you by Joshy and Jonny, best friends and tabletop gaming fans from their local group, *Trust the Process Hobbies*. We use this podcast to share our ramblings about the hobby (though we cannot shut up about Warhammer).
By day, Joshy is a therapist; by night, an RPG aficionado raised on *Final Fantasy* and years of crafting his own *Dungeons & Dragons* worlds. Jonny, a technician, spends his downtime conquering more video games than Joshy can track.
Our occasional guest Zakky has a passion for buying things he then has to build.
Thanks for listening!
