39 - Of Balrogs and undead mercenaries (Citadel Journal Spring 87 part 1)

Dec 07 2024 65 mins

Just like GW makes you wait a long time after certain announcements, so too does this podcast. But it's all the sweeter when they finally get released! So too (hopefully) with this episode, in which we look back at some (announcements of) new releases and (announcements of) old releases, in the first look at the Citadel Journal Spring 1987. So get set, for this is going to be a mul

38 - You look... familiar

Nov 05 2024 52 mins

The forces of Chaos unleash their worst! Tremble before such names as Demonnet, Mite and Homonculus! And they Chaos Sorcerers these familiars accompany are pretty decent too. But it's mostly the familiars that steal the glory. Oh, and there's also some new miniatures that may or may not be of use in your armies. But hey, look at the cool old stuff! Want to get in touch? Here's a

37 - Halloween special

Oct 29 2024 36 mins

Spooky season is upon us! But why do we (well, you, probably) celebrate Halloween? Let's dive into some real-world origins of this haunted holiday. And let's also not forget to explore some terrifying tales from the Undead and Vampire Counts army books. Want to get in touch? Here's a bunch of links. www.forcesoffantasy.comhttps://forcesoffantasy.podbean.com/ E: forcesoffantasy [a

36 - The Slaughterer and the Tin Man

Sep 19 2024 46 mins

What if you don’t want to play regular Warhammer? Then there’s the Warhammer Fantasy Role Playing game! And what if you don’t want that either? Don’t worry, White Dwarf 83 has got you covered with a special mini game. And if you don’t want to play THAT either? Well, then I’m sorry it took you 36 episodes to realize, but then this might just not be the podcast for you. B

35 - Hello, sailor!

Sep 11 2024 52 mins

Warhammer takes to the seas in this White Dwarf 82 article with "simple" (and notoriously incomplete) rules for sailing ships. Get some cardboard and balsa wood to build ships, bang them together until they sink and hope there's room for you too on that door. In sadder news, we learn that beloved White Dwarf editor Paul Sawyer has fallen terminally ill. His family have set up a G

34 - Ninja vs Chaos Warriors

Sep 03 2024 34 mins

There's a lot to unpack in White Dwarf 81, which is exactly what we're going to do in this episode. Well, after grumpy old GJ ranting on about new miniatures and how the pacing of GW is too fast and how franchises used to be better in the past, that is. #warhammer #warhammertheoldworld #gamesworkshop #warhammerfantasy #oldhammer !!

33 - Black-masked Dwarfs with respirators

Aug 26 2024 29 mins

What do you do when you learn about the existence of your evil kin? You gather all troops you can find and march to war! That is exactly what king Ulfar Stonehammer does when he learns about the existence of Chaos Dwarfs. But is leaving home at a time like this such a good idea? Before you know it, your hold gets retroactively taken over by Goblins! In this episode we delve into Wh

32 - Of Ogres and Chaos Dwarfs

Jun 01 2024 29 mins

Guess what? I’m not dead yet! [Cue disappointed groans] No, honestly, I’m getting better! Anyway, while real life has so far kept getting in the way of recording another episode, I have been devising some cunning plans to get back out there again. One of them is to make shorter episodes (the topics at hand lend themselves very well to that). Another one is to just get behind th

31 - Double, double, toil and trouble

++Enter host++List’ners far and wide, lend me thine ear,For ‘tis a sorry tale that you will hear.Of treachery, prophecy, monsters and booze,And of conspirators that cannot rhyme even if they tried really hard and were all helping each other.++Exit host++ That’s right, it’s time for the Tragedy of McDeath! Enjoy this gripping tale, played out in no less than five scenarios

30 - Skaven sneak into Second Edition

Feb 06 2024 228 mins

For this episode we take a look at the third Citadel Journal (Spring '86). Turns out, there's a LOT to unpack. Not only do we get background and rules for some of the catalog miniatures, we also get an entire new faction, the Skaven, with full rules and lore. And as if that's not enough, the Terror of the Lichemaster continues with a three-way battle over the famous monastery of La
