The London Grand Tournament is finally here. With one of the biggest Warhammer 40,000 events in the world just days away, Jord and Steve enter the final week of preparation as they get their armies, game plans and tournament mindset ready for the weekend. In Episode 4 of Road to LGT, we split the episode into two sections. First, Jord and Steve sit down for a final podcast-style discussion, looking back at their preparation so far, the lessons they've learned, and the key decisions they've made heading into LGT. With the event now just around the corner, there's no more time for major changes, it's all about making sure they're ready to execute their plans on the biggest stage. Then, we head to the tabletop as both players deploy their armies and walk through their final tournament preparation. From deployment plans and opening moves to key considerations for their armies, this section focuses on making sure they know exactly how they want to approach their games when the first dice are rolled. With the practice games done and the tournament almost here, the preparation phase is coming to an end. The armies are chosen, the plans are in place, and now it's time to put everything they've learned to the test. The road to LGT is almost over… now it's time to play.

Road To The UK's Biggest Warhammer Tournament- Part 3 of 5
The London Grand Tournament is getting closer, and with one of the biggest Warhammer 40,000 events in the world fast approaching, the pressure is starting to build. In Episode 3 of Road to LGT, Jord and Steve look back at a weekend of practice games as they put their current armies through their paces and start to see what is working, and what isn't. With Jord testing his Space Wolves and Steve exploring Adeptus Mechanicus, the practice games provide an important opportunity to test their lists, game plans and tournament preparation against a variety of opponents. But after putting both armies through their first real tests, the big question is whether they're confident enough to stick with their current choices or whether it's time to go back to the drawing board. We'll break down the key lessons from the weekend, the successes and mistakes from the games, and the changes that could shape their final LGT preparations. With limited time left before the event, every practice game matters, and the decisions made now could define their tournament weekend. The road to LGT is well underway... but are Space Wolves and Adeptus Mechanicus here to stay?

We find out which faction he is leaning towards and why, as both players start making the important decisions that will shape their journey to one of the biggest Warhammer 40,000 events in the world. With tournament testing underway and army choices beginning to take shape, the preparation is becoming more serious.
