Aggro with friends? George and Mark dive into Deadly Synergy, the plot deck from Spitewood that trades brute force for clever positioning and coordinated strikes. Built around the “United” and “Flanked” mechanics, this deck opens new lanes for warbands that thrive on tight movement, board control, and layered sequencing.

They unpack the highs, the headscratchers, and the hidden gems, spotlighting combos that could reshape Nemesis builds from Hexbane’s Hunters to Brethren of the Bolt. If you’re looking to pair up and punch above your weight, this episode’s got the blueprints.

Can control be aggro? George and Mark crack into Hunting Grounds, the latest Rivals deck from Spitewood, where holding the line hits harder than charging in. Built for punishing overreach and flipping momentum from your own territory, this deck rewards patience, positioning, and perfectly timed payback.

But can it rival (pun maybe intended) Blazing Assault or Pillage? If you’re chasing tempo, tricks, and territorial traps, this one’s a must-listen.

The gang wades into the dense wilderness of Spitewood, reviewing everything from new terrain rules to the meta-shaking warbands inside.

They start with Kurnoth’s Heralds: nimble protectors of Ghyran whose power lies in elegant positioning and momentum-based surges. Then it’s on to the Blood of the Bull, a chaos duardin warband fueled by Demon-forged Dice and brutal stats that redefine what’s possible in second edition.

The duo also tackles Waystone and Aqua Ghyranis tokens, token placement shifts, and how this box might shake up aggro, control, and flex strategies alike.

If you play Underworlds, this box should be on your radar, and so should this episode.

Mark returns from the Nova Open with fresh bruises and battle wisdom, while George holds court from the commentary seat. This episode dives into Mark’s full tournament run: from early nerves to standout matchups, with plenty of discussion about meta trends, sneaky cards, and key decision points along the way.

Together, they dissect the top-performing warbands, what surprised them (and what didn’t), and how their pre-event predictions held up once the dust settled. There’s plenty of laughter, salt, and deep cuts for the diehards.

Whether you were in the room or following from afar, this one’s got the storytelling, strategy, and sharp insights that keep your finger on the pounding pulse of the Underworlds meta.

This one’s a bit of a time capsule. Recorded just before Nova, we took a stab at where the meta might land heading into one of favorite events of the year. From punchy Rivals pairings to sleeper picks and bold banshee takes, we shared our expectations and our wild cards.

Now that Nova’s come and gone, and the World Championships loom on the horizon, it’s a fun look at what we got right (and what we didn’t). Whether you're scouting the next shift or just in it for the banter, this one’s worth the listen.

The path to glory is not paved in gold: it is scorched, battered, and soaked in blood. In this episode, the warbands ascend into the A tier, where warriors fight with purpose, power, and precision. These are no mindless brutes or fleeting sparks; they are refined blades in the forge of battle.

Each warband in this tier brings a unique identity, whether it's calculated aggression, relentless objective play, or disruptive trickery. While they may not sit atop the throne of dominance, they are proven threats, fully capable of toppling titans in the right hands. Victory with them is earned, not given, and that struggle makes their triumphs all the sweeter.

The warbands in A tier are not just strong, they are stories waiting to be told.

In this episode, George and Mark return to the anvil of war to forge something many have sought but few have mastered: a real discussion on how to build decks in the Nemesis format.

With warbands sharpening their blades and Rivals decks piling high, it’s easy to feel lost in the carnage. But fear not, this conversation cuts through the noise. From foundational pairing philosophies to the tactical nuances that make certain combinations shine, the lads unpack what it means to build smart, thematic, and powerful Nemesis decks in today's meta.

Whether you’re chasing glory in a local clash or preparing for grander battles ahead, this episode offers practical tools, competitive insight, and a little bit of dark laughter to guide your path.

The Age of Rivals is here to stay. Best come prepared.

In this episode, George and Mark are joined by Daniele and Andrea of Team Italy, fresh off their victorious run at the World Team Championship in Vienna, Austria. Daniele, the reigning world champion, and Andrea walk us through the strategy, preparation, and raw determination that fueled Italy’s dominant performance on the global stage.

From tactical deck choices to high-pressure matchups, the duo share what it takes to bring glory to the homeland. Italy’s ascent continues in the competitive season, and this conversation gives a glimpse into the discipline and ambition that makes them a force to be reckoned with.

All roads may lead to Vienna, but only one path leads to glory.

In this episode, we dive into the blood drenched horrors of Embergard with a double feature: Kamandora’s Blades and the Raging Slayers Rivals deck, card by card, of course.

First up, we unpack the latest warband to pledge themselves to the Blood God. Kamandora, Mother of Hate, stalks the battlefield with her savage kin, carving through the wounded and the weary in a frenzy of cruel precision. Every skull they claim fuels their grisly purpose, not for glory, but to add to the towering pyramid where Korghos Khul once earned his daemonhood.

Then we shift gears to Raging Slayers, a Rivals deck that rewards furious commitment and well timed risk. Built around the new Rage mechanic, this deck lets fighters push their limits with boosted attacks at the cost of their footing. Whether you are venting rage in a decisive strike or riding the wave of berserker momentum, Raging Slayers is a deadly and flexible option that pairs especially well with Kamandora’s crew but brings value across the wider meta too.

Blood flows in Embergard, and Khorne is watching.

In this episode, George is joined by a new challenger from down under: Reuben, the Australian player who crossed oceans and crushed expectations to claim victory at the 2025 Canadian Tabletop Championship. With sharp instincts and ruthless consistency, Reuben carved his path through Canada’s finest and walked away with the crown, and a Golden Ticket to the World Championships of Warhammer.

Together, they unpack the list, relive key moments, and reflect on what it takes to bring glory to your homeland on foreign soil. It’s proof that no matter where you’re from, the call to greatness can echo across continents.

Australia has entered the arena. And it is here to win.
