Forces of Fantasy

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. But mostly, I read it in the lore section of the 3rd edition WHFB Rulebook. We'll take a look at how the world has been changed (by the Slann and the collapse of their warp gates), as well as how the world has changed from 2nd to 3rd, and from 3rd to later editions. While a lot of pieces are in place, GW is still finding its footing wi...

This episode we take a look at the fun "new" game Chaos Marauders, which has nothing to do with Chaos Marauders and everything to do with Orcs. There are also lots of beautiful miniatures to discuss - and the rules to go with them. A fitting last look at 2nd edition, because next time we're moving into 3rd!

What's the difference between a Warrior Orc and an Orc Champion? The champions have awesome monikers, of course. And better stats, but that's not as important. Either way, White Dwarf 89 is packed with new miniatures and a chance to win them. But you have to be quick, because the deadline is August... 1987. We're still hot on the tails of the Ravening Hordes release, so there's plenty of that too in the two issues covered in this e...

The good thing about Ravening Hordes is that it gives you access to allies (which are an army within your army) and mercenaries. The good thing about mercenaries is that they can supplement your army. The BAD thing about mercenaries is that they can at some point choose to supplement your opponent's army! Take a trip back in time, away from all the Cathay news and releases, to the final section of the Ravening Hordes (1987, there's...

After a lengthy period of no podcasts, the Forces of Fantasy Podcast is back with another discussion of Ravening Hordes armies. In this episode: Chaos (men, dwarfs and beasts), Nippon and Norse. One of these has been split in three and the other two are just mentioned in the lore presently, if that. Ah, those were the days, when you could make Vikings battle exploding samurai...

Most of us are at an age where we have kids. How do we involve them in the hobby? Callum, Dave and Karl share their thoughts and insights in this 50th episode and 2 year anniversary special of the Forces of Fantasy Podcast.

What do Undead, Dark Elves and Skaven have in common? They're the next three army lists we're looking at in the Ravening Hordes book for 2nd edition. Each army brings its own unique fighting style to the table, but you're also limited by some serious minimum model counts. And by missing rules, but hey, that's Oldhammer (or Warhammer in general) for you.

Just one army list today? Yes, but there's a reason for that, as you will hear on the podcast. Or an excuse. Either way, it's just one, but an important one: Orcs and Goblins. They are very much the same as in later editions, yet also oddly different. See for yourself...

It's inevitable that an expansion booklet that gives you new army lists also gives you some new rules. In this episode, we take a look at the additions and changes to Warhammer 2nd edition that were needed to use the Ravening Hordes book. Anything from terrain setup to deployment to magic items to manoeuvres and formations to characters and challenges to rout, rallying and pursuit to... no, wait, that's it. But that's still plenty ...

Let's take our first look at the Ravening Hordes book for 2nd edition WHFB. This book gives us new rules, and, more importantly, new army lists. But before we get to that, we first have to see we survive... the introduction.

Apart from some High Elf (and other) news, the main topic of this show is an interview I did with Gregory from the UK. Together, we're going to explore the Christian themes in Warhammer lore. Yes, that's a thing.

No time machine this week, but plenty of fun stuff to cover in the ways of new reveals and releases.

It's taken four episodes, but today we finally can close the book, er, magazine, on the Citadel Journal Spring 1987. It's given us lots of cool rules, new models and even a few promises! And of course some strategy tips, one of which even works every time! At least, as long as your opponent is an Elf. Dig in!

Here's the stuff mentioned in the news section: Warhammer Underworlds Night Goblins: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-...

Happy new year! Do you see those fireworks? They seem to be getting awfully close, though... And they also seem more like dragon-bolts (yes, that's a real type of dragons' breath weapon) than fireworks, come to think of it. Better check if I'm allowed to make a save... This episode covers the next section of the Citadel Journal Spring 1987, which is mostly dragons. But there's also a daemon. A shiny golden one, to be precise.
