Sam Pope is one of the newer faces in the 40k scene, comparatively to a lot of his peers. He started playing competitively in 2023 at the end of 9th edition, and joined Team USA in 2025, becoming a starter that same year. Sam's main faction expertise is with Tyranids, but he also is well-versed in melee pressure builds.

Sam approaches the game from a philosophical standpoint, breaking down the complicated concepts of 40k into terms and categories that make it much easier to grasp and apply to your own games.
