The Wargames Orchard

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Warhammer: Kings of War

We start off this week's episode talking about some changes coming to the Wargames Orchard. Then it's on to a Review of Kings Of War, the game of fantasy battles. Hmm, that last bit sounds a bit familiar... How does Kings of War feel to a life long Warhammer Fantasy player? Tune in to find out!

Campaigns of Legend Part 3: Circle Of Blood

The Red Duke has risen, and with him come a legion of the restless dead! Only the brave knights of Bretonnia can hope to challenge this wicked vampire and return peace to the land.

GJ's back to break down Circle of Blood. One of the wonderful boxed campaigns from 5th edition. Learn all about the scenarios and lore as the Vampiric Red Duke and his undead servants cause mayhem in land of chivalry. 

Scourge of the Drakwald

Beastlord Khazrak may only have one eye, but that doesn't stop him from raising War-hounds, and raising hell. With a magic whip and a hoard of beasts at his back, he'll take back the Drakwald for the true children of chaos!

Join us as we look at Khazrak One Eye from 5th-7th edition.

Can we see the future of Warhammer: The Old World by looking at the new Horus Heresy releases?

What can the new Horus Heresy release tell us about GW's approach to Warhammer? Nathan think's there's good and bad omens afoot in GW's latest game revamp. Plus join us for two stories about servants of the Chaos gods as they get up to mischief and mayhem!

Campaigns of Legend Part 2: Does that rock look like an Orc to you?

We've always liked Gork! He's big, mean, and green, and that's everything you could ask from an Orc God! You could maybe say that we idolize him...

GJ is back with another deep dive into the glorious boxed campaigns of Warhammer Fantasy! This week it's Idol of Gork, where the forces of the Empire clash with the Orcs and Goblins!

Play It Forward!

When editions change in Warhammer, some units are sadly left behind. We say no more! In this episode we update some lost units from 3rd-5th edition to fit in with the later eras of Warhammer Fantasy. It's time to bring back our Mummies, Whelp Masters, and Sneaky Gits!

Wings Of Fury: The History Of Warhawk Riders

Nathan's recently discovered how much he likes birds! In light of this important news, we now bring you the History of Wood Elf Warhawk Riders! From their odd spiritual predecessors in 3rd, all the way to their armour piercing, killing blow glory days of 8th. We look at a unit that was markedly unique in every era of Warhammer! 

Let’s Build A Chaos Goblin Gang?

Goblins. Yeah! Goblins! But with crazy mutations, and weird magic swords, and maybe one of them is sort of a robot...

We've ventured back into the 3rd edition Realm of Chaos books to build Gary, The Goblin Champion of Chaos, and his all goblin retinue of Terry, Barry, and Larry. This time the gods / dice are very generous, and we end up with what might be the weirdest warband in the wastes.

 

Oh and try not to stare at Larry's head, he's very self conscious about it.

Campaigns of Legend Part 1: Does anyone know a good Dwarven marriage councilor?

It's two episodes for the price of one this week! Join GJ as he introduces you to the legendary boxed campaigns of 5th edition. Their names alone can send hobbyists into fits of nostalgic bliss: Grudge of Drong, Idol of Gork, Perilous Quest, Tears of Isha and Circle of Blood. 

GJ then explores the lore and rules of Grudge of Drong. The Dwarfs and High Elves clash in four epic battles, in tale of love, taxes, and plenty of grudges.

Always Judge A Book By It’s Cover

Warhammer Art has gone through several styles and re-imaginings throughout the eras. The Cartoony brilliance of the Herohammer era, the grim dark of 6th, and the brooding colours of 8th all contribute to the look and feel of the Warhammer world. This week we're having some fun discussing the art of Warhammer, and choosing the best Army Book covers of each era.
