Having played a few games of Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress, we use this episode to express our thoughts about the game. In previous episodes we talked at length about the models, but this one is focused specifically about the quality of the game itself, and how well the mechanics work to capture a setting and to create a fun gaming experience.

Games Workshop was at the Las Vegas Open to cover the major Warhammer 40,000 event that was held there. To celebrate this, they  revealed a lot of new products, including a host Primaris and Chaos Space Marine models. We spend this episode talking about our thoughts on the models and what it means for each respective model range.

We talk about our thoughts on the recently revealed models of Commissar Severina Raine and Sanguinius, as well as the negative criticism that has surrounded them.

We are joined by our good friend Eli Parsons to discuss the rumor that White Dwarf magazine may no longer contain the John Blanche-themed hobby showcase articles, Blanchitsu. We talk about what we think Blanchitsu is, as well as what it represents for the hobby, including some of the reservations people have voiced about the feature. We also talk a little about how we got involved in creating models that were featured in Blanchitsu, and how others might go about creating models that represent their own personal visions of Games Workshop’s universes.

With 2018 coming to a close, we spend the episode talking about our major hobby projects and accomplishments throughout the year. We reflect on the process behind each and what we learned along the way. Finally, we talk a little about what 2019 will bring!

This episode is focused on the newly-released Delaque gang for Necromunda. We talk about the quality of the models’ design, emphasizing how they scale with other models in the range and Warhammer 40,000 in general. We ponder why their firearms were designed to be so massive, and how it runs counter to the thin, stealthy look of the rest of the models. We also talk about how the models could be used on conversions and discuss one we are working on currently.

We spend the episode discussing the Vigilis Open day and its ramifications for the future of Warhammer 40,000. We spend the majority of the episode talking about the newly revealed models, including Marneus Calgar and Genestealer Cultist motorbikes.

We spend the episode discussing Warhammer Quest Blackstone Fortress. While most of the episode consists of us analyzing each of the models contained in the boxed set, we also talk about the game itself and Games Workshop’s efforts at making better board games.  

With Orktober coming to a close, we discuss some models revealed by Games Workshop at Spiel ‘18. The first is an Undead team for Blood Bowl that finally has some updated zombie models. The second is a warband for Nightvault, Mollog's Mob, with consists of an ancient Dankhold Troggoth accompanied by a few squigs and fungus creatures. Finally we talk about the first model shown for the forthcoming Blackstone Fortress game, a dapper looking Rogue Trader.

With the new edition of Warhammer Underworlds just released, we discuss the models for the first new warbands released outside of the boxed game. We talk about how the new goblin and Tzeentch warbands fit in with and expand the already established imagery. We end the episode talking about the first images of a Slaanesh model that is likely a redesigned Fiend of Slaanesh.
