Rank and Flank – A Warhammer: The Old World podcast

In this episode, we take a look at the Legacy army our Discord community voted for: Dark Elves! Break out your black eyeliner and come with us on a deep dive of all their different units, magic items and (mostly useless) special rules, rounded off with our thoughts on some army builds that should work well on the battlefield.

In this episode, we see the return of The Pit as reigning heavyweight champion Settra takes on challenger Galrauch. We talk about the next four Arcane Journals, covering what's been rumoured, alongside what we'd like to see both in the journals and beyond. We review our community poll results, where we asked "What's the strongest army in Old World?" and discuss a bit about the overall TOW meta game. Finally, we wrap up with some discussion of upcoming events in Ireland, our new army lists, and Fintan's Warhammer-inspired Dwarf Fortress mod, Forthammer.

In this episode, we take a look at how AJ's Wood Elves and Fintan's new Tomb Kings did at the Exploding Dice event in Bangor on September 1st, followed by a deep dive into the Warriors of Chaos Arcane Journal.

After a brief interlude caused by various travel plans, we are back with our longest episode yet! First up, we discuss the latest spoilers for the Dwarf Arcane Journal, along with some other tasty rumours. We talk about our experience at the recent Exploding Dice tournament, dive into quick recipes for making your own terrain, and wrap up with final rankings of the magic lores and some Q&A from our Discord. Phew!

In this episode, we have our first "Faction Focus" and take an in-depth look at the Tomb Kings range, starting with a history of the models and how we got to the range that exists today.
