March 05, 2023 Dust Off those Loonshrines…Gloomspite Gitz Battletome Review – Episode 116

Gitz got good!!! Some very significant changes in this new tome…Da Moon, Heroes, Heroic Actions, Hordes, Enhancements…and SQUIGS! Man, did Squigs get way too scary! All this yes, but still a fun book with a myriad of ways to get these crazy fellas to the board. We are joined this episode by our good friend Nick McKenna, who is crazy about his Gitz and it shows in his wonderful “kitchen” Gloomspite army! We are anxious to see what new kitchen utensils show up on his future models!

February 14, 2023 Goat People Incoming…Beasts of Chaos Battletome Chaos – Episode 115

Goatmen, Monsters, Ogres (sort of)…all in the new Beasts of Chaos Battletome! This army is a sentimental favorite of Brendan’s…it was his Warhammer Fantasy army. Lots of moving parts here, but great reward to be had by those willing to put in the time and figure out how everything works together. Great Endless Spells, solid Spell Lore…the whole package. Enjoy the goat sound clips…I may have gotten carried away…

January 26, 2023 General’s Handbook Part Two With Tyler Emerson – Episode 114

Despite a flooding incident at the Dan home, Tyler Emerson joins us to talk about all things General’s Handbook! We do take a fair amount of time to dig into the question…to include or not include Battletome Tactics in events? We all felt this has enough of an impact on the community to talk both sides of the issue. Besides that, lots of other fun stuff in this Handbook, especially Artefacts and Command Traits…even a couple of “no way” Battle Plans. A great listen for everyone. Did I mention we had to do real-time flood mitigation during our recording session?!

January 13, 2023 A Bit Of Catching Up & The Year Ahead – Episode 113

Happy New Year everyone! We’re back after a bit of a holiday break, ready to roll! In this episode, we do a bit of catching up in Whispers and Scriptorium. We also take a quick look back at 2022, and then talk at length about our hopes for the coming year…including our thoughts on the future of the show (no worries, we aren’t going anywhere!) and how our realworld priorities may affect scheduling and voices on the interwebs. Give a listen…just keepin’ it real.

December 18, 2022 Slaves To Darkness Battletome Review – Episode 112

Our review of the “unofficial” Slaves To Darkness Battletome is ready to roll! Fresh from the box (along with some great minis), this book is a hefty collection of rules, warscrolls and options. So many moving parts…like being a kid in a candy store! Lovin’ me some Theridons!! Our review is a long one, so buckle up and enjoy! Also, check out the play aid I posted on Twitter…hopefully helps when building or playing this faction (Twitter @stormcallerdan)…this is, of course, if Ancient One using computer did this the right way 🙂

December 02, 2022 Take Some Gulping Bites…Ogor Mawtribes Battletome Review – Episode 111

Time to do some eatin' with those hungry hungry Ogors! We break the book down into its two essential components; Gutbusters and Beastclaw Raiders. Also, some commentary on points adjustments is provided to give a different perspective on the Battletome. All the usual craziness, and a great question in Show Close about that "two army rule" in Dan's house.

November 19, 2022 Sons Of Behemat Battletome Review, Event Recaps & A Fall Battlescroll – Episode 110

Giants are back in 3.0 style and we take a look at their Battletome which has refreshingly few Warscrolls. In Whispers, we recap two event that we attended...the first was Fall Rubicon, the other RockCon. Also, Brendan kicks off Emperor Lies with a briefing of the Fall 2022 Battlescroll. Time stamps will be very helpful in this episode, so give them a look. All over the place this episode and having a great time all the while.

November 04, 2022 On The Road At Dragonfall 2022 – Episode 109

Been a while since the guys hit the road for an event, but here we are at Dragonfall 2022! Fun tales to be told...Brendan rocks the table as usual...Dan doesn't do so hot but has some great cinematic moments with Kurdoss! Lots of great folks were there, and time spent with friends (old and new) made this an even better weekend. Our thanks to Mark, Tanya and Dave for running the house for us...I think we'll both be back for Dragonfall 2023!

October 21, 2022 Here We Go Again…Lumineth Realm Lords Battletome Review – Episode 108

The Lumineth are back for another go...and this book seems much more of a positive experience for both Lumineth players and their opponents. Subfactions in this tome allow Aelf players to take the same army and play several different ways. That being said, Lumienth will still be a challenging opponent when they show up at the table. A great Battletome and we enjoyed walking though it. Be sure to listen to our hobby segment in Whispers From The Warp, when Brendan announces his Dragonfall army, surprising many of us!

October 07, 2022 Time For A Change…Disciples Of Tzeentch Battletome Review – Episode 107

Time for a change...for real! Not only are we able to review a Battletome again, but it's the Lord of Change himself we are looking at! We talk through 3rd Edition's latest Battletome, and discuss our overall thoughts on the book, as well as opinions about particular Warscrolls...my Screamers are back!!! The usual plethora of heroes that come with any Chaos book do not disappoint, and Brendan finds his stride with some fun combos using the Gaunt Summoner (who is now a Daemon!). Good time to be had by both fans and enemies of the Weaver of Fates.
