Dragged into Turbolasers

In this special episode, we interview people who attended Under the Dice Fest 2026, a Connecticut-based festival celebrating miniature-based tabletop wargaming. The festival was designed to appeal to those who shy away from the mainstream iterations of the miniature wargaming hobby, focusing on those who want to play the games on their terms, sometimes outside of the scope of the game rules as written, or those who want to play old games that their publishers no longer support. It highlights those more concerned with telling a story with the miniatures they build than with creating something optimal for a game’s rule system. A punk rock approach to the miniature wargaming hobby, if you will. We interview the following:

Having purchased some of the newly released Warhammer 40k Space Ork models, we talk about the new Ork Warboss model.

We talk with our friend Brad about more newly revealed Warhammer 40k Space Ork models. We discuss the new Ork Nobz and warbikes, as well as Ork boyz.

Fate brought us together in the same location, so the three of us recorded a discussion about two models we purchased, an Aeldari Kharseth and Commissar Yarrick. We opened the models and passed the sprues around, talking about our impressions of the models.

We begin this episode expressing our sadness at the passing of John Blanche, a luminary that defined Games Workshop’s artstyle and vision for decades. We then touch on how just days later GW revealed Horus Heresy artwork that almost certainly used AI tools to give a Space Marine a sixth finger. Finally we discuss the state of miniature hobby YouTube channels and how the algorithm necessitates boring, but searchable content.

We talk with our friend Brad about the newly revealed Warhammer 40k 11th edition ork models. We discuss how ork design has changed during the last few decades and our hopes for the future.
