Summary

Episode 253 of The Independent Characters explores the age old questions of 'How do you get your significant other into Warhammer 40k?'. To help us explain her journey into the Grim Darkness of the Far Future, we are joined by Chelle Tuttle. For those who don't know by now, Chelle is Carl's wife and has had an on again, off again relationship with 40k. She is also managing all of the tracking of everyone's hobby progress in the Hobby Progress Challenge for 2025. For which we are very grateful!

While we take a trip down memory lane on her exposure to the game, we also get some insights on what worked for her, to get her invested in the game. I want to thank Chelle for taking the time to join me on this discussion as I know this is a bit outside her comfort zone.

We hope you enjoy Episode 253.

0:51.0	In fact, after we record this, tomorrow, Josh and I are recording something for the

1:09.1	Shell here for a couple reasons. First off, the topic of the
1:13.7	episode is introducing your partner to 40K. I was originally it was introducing your spouse,
1:20.7	but like not everybody's married that wants to get, you know, their spouse involved or their
1:25.7	significant other involved. Yes. So I broaden that up a little bit.
1:31.4	But really, this is kind of, Shell, you've gotten into Warehammer 40K quite a bit lately
