In this, our first vampire counts episode, we unveiled Dhar's total love, and not at all sexual desire, for the dead. We looked at their origins and their sudden and inexplicable division between the wet dead and dry dead. We looked at the 5 main bloodlines of vampire vounts, some of the regions of Warhammer that they infest, and their relations with the living. We then cast our minds back to the origins of the dead, the first glorious empire of man, Nehekhara. We looked at the events of Khemri and Lhamia and the life and ambitions of Nagash and the vampiric queen Neferatum. Returning from death, Nagash kills all but one of the mortal beings of Nehekhara and curses the surviving vampires as they flee before his power.

Mini Mayhem! In this, our final look into Dwarfen culture, we explore the incredible capacity the Dwarfs have for making war. We start with a list of dwarf warriors and regiments, from Thunderers and Longbeards, to Ironbreakers and Slayers, and the function they fill within the armies of each hold. We continue on into their war machines, both artillery such as the very aptly named Grudgethrower and the Gyrocopter and Gyrobomber airships, and discuss the engineering runes. Finally, we explore the three types of heroic Dwarf that occupy leadership positions in the Karak Ankor; Nobles (Kings and Thanes), Runesmiths, and Engineers.

It’s the Little Things! In our fourth Dwarf episode, the time of woes continues with the fall of many Dwarf holds. King Baragor of Karak Kadrin becomes the first slayer king and the holds of Karak Eight Peaks, Karak Azgal and Karak Drazh all fall to the Greenskin and Skaven menace. This degradation continues until the Dwarfs come across a potential race of allies dwelling on the surface, MANKIND! Negotiations are held in a halting fashion once Sigmar frees their High King and the Dwarfs view them as steadfast and honourable allies. Thus begins the Silver Age where Dwarfs regain some of their lost holdings and rediscover the faded arts of rune magic and engineering. The end of the Great War against Chaos however sees a hunger for a more traditional and heroic vein of Dwarf leadership.

A New Low! In our third episode on Dwarfs we see that the creation of the great Vortex was successful and heralds the Golden age of the Dwarfs. We look at the trade between the Dwarfs and their new allies the Elves, respect, in particular, grew for Malekith and there was the expansion of the Karaz Ankor, their everlasting realm. But then BETRAYAL and DESTRUCTION as the Great War of Vengeance begins between these allies ended with the withdrawal of the elves and the quakes and eruptions that devastated the dwarven empire heralding the Time of Woes and the horrific events of the Goblin Wars.

From Small Beginnings! In this our second Dwarf episode, we explored the early history of the Dwarven race, their creation in the jungle caves of the Southlands, their exploration northwards and the establishment of fortresses and holds as they move through the Worlds Edge Mountains. Guided as they were by the Ancestor Gods Grungni, Valaya, Grimnir, and their incestuous offspring the culture was formed and then BOOM! The Polar Gates collapsed and chaos washed over the land.  Suddenly there are elves, mohawks and mysteries aplenty at Mount Nordberg.

DWARFS! DWARFS! DWARFS!In this our first look at the glorious Dwarven race we take a look at what makes a Dwarf so great… Their age! (Dhar approves). We look at the stages of a Dwarf’s life and the role they fill during each phase. We follow this up with an examination of their clan structure, and their guilds, including the mighty runesmiths, before examining the types of Dwarf out there and what happens when they break one of their three laws. We also look into what happens when things go wrong in a dwarf’s life... The Slayer Vow and the Great Book of Grudges. DWARFS! DWARFS! DWARFS!

In this our final look into Greenskins, we explore the Greenskins capacity for making war. We start with an exploration of the powers of the Waaagh, its psycho-social origins and the spells available to orc and goblin shamans. We saunter through both the Common and Savage Orc warbands and their hilariously named cavalry units. Next up are the three flavours of goblins, their units and a deeper exploration of Squig based warfare. Finally, we look at the auxiliary units, war machines and monsters resulting in old man Dhar regaling us with tales of old orc miniatures interspersed with Werther's Originals and smelling like pee…
