Warhammer Wishlist
Monday Dec 20, 2021
Monday Dec 20, 2021
We've been really good all year! Honest! Since we've been so well behaved it's only fair that we get everything on our Warhammer Wishlist. Things like getting a hold of the 4th edition Nagash model, seeing real progress on Warhammer: The Old World, and actually having time to play games. Maybe we're asking for a lot...
Join Nathan and GJ for a nice chat about what they want out of the hobby year ahead.
PS. We had some connection problems in the recording, sorry for the issues with GJ's audio.

Elves on Shelves
Monday Dec 13, 2021
Monday Dec 13, 2021
Do you have Elves on your shelves? If so, which Elves (Witch Elves?) get to make the journey down to the table top? And which are doomed to languish in layers of dust? This week we're looking at the regiments from all three Elf factions across 5th, 6th, and 8th Edition, to determine which should be brought to battle, and which get to hang out and collect cobwebs alongside those terrible Elf On The Shelf dolls.

The Ministry of Silly Beastmen
Monday Dec 06, 2021
Monday Dec 06, 2021
We're vacationing in the Realm of Chaos this week! While we're here let's create a completely randomized Beastmen warband. The first thing we'll need to do is generate a completely normal and functional champion to lead our warband. Easy right?
The 3rd edition Realm of Chaos rule books are a never ending source of fun and weirdness. Join Nathan as he randomly bestows the gifts of the gods on a poor Beastman. Things get out of hand.

Monday Nov 22, 2021
Every era of Warhammer has units that capture the hearts and minds of players. Those units who combine incredible models, strong rules, and engaging lore. Those are the Triple Threats! We asked Warhammer players to nominate the units in 6th Edition that they thought best exemplified the Triple Threat, and they came through big time! We've got a list of wonderful units, including some surprises and old favourites, that we discuss and debate to find the ultimate Warhammer Triple Threat!

Monday Nov 08, 2021

We're hungry for the latest news this week! We talk about the Ogres song and dance number in Total War Warhammer 3, and their possible place in Warhammer The Old World. Then we take a look at the recent Border Princes map for WTOW and do some wild speculating. The cherry on top is a couple rounds of Warhammer 20 Questions.

Will that stop us? Nope! Come daydream with us of a future army full of Dragons, airships, and tons of adorable Oxen!
