We’re back to the Aeldari again—this time with a look at the Ynnari and Harlequins (which, as you may have heard, are a wee bit…good). Enjoy!
Some Adepticon reflections are discussed here and as the internet gods were not too kind to us discussing the remaining Aeldari codex we table that review until the next episode. Instead, famed IDK player, Jon Anderson, comes on to talk a deep-dive (teehee) look at the new Idoneth Deepkin battletome. Enjoy! Jon is on Twitter at: @33r2d2…
Ep tree-fiddy is finally here! The Rift sadly swallowed up the original episode recording but here’s a deep dive into the Aeldari codex, craftworlds. We’ll be releasing the review of Harlequins and Ynnari later so you don’t have a ridiculously long episode (again). Plenty of content coming soon! Enjoy!…
This time Kenny’s flying solo on this review cuz, ya know, it’s FYRESLAYERS!! There were some interesting delays but hope you enjoy and there’s some in-depth discuss and changes beyond just reading the book. Also, if you hear the prize situation during the episode please give us a shout. Enjoy!
Kenny is joined this week by Genestealer Cults buffs Vint and Eric (from the 40K competitive series) to talk all the glories of the 4-armed Emperor. Enjoy!
Happy Holidays! We close up 2021 with a look at some of the many releases in the last few months we unfortunately did not have enough time to cover on previous episodes. Stay safe and have a happy new year!
Dave from Milwaukee joins Kenny to chat the new Maggotkin of Nurgle AoS battletome. It's sick! (teehee). Dave Nordstrom @davenordstrom Enjoy!
