G'day Champs, here we are again with the last of our 4th edition previews.  Join us as we take a look at the newly re-raised Undead list (thank you Mantic)! Guaranteed to be less controversial than the Goblin army list! :o Enjoy! PS: All opinions presented in this episode are based off years of prior experience with both wargaming the Mantic Undead army. Theoretical interactions of the units discussed are formed without the full understanding of the complete ruleset and should be taken as a general advice only.

Good evening Champs! We have returned as promised, with some more 4th Edition goodness; this time in the form of a Goblin army list preview (thanks again Mantic)! Join as as we run down the entire list and appraise it in the similar style of our previous army reviews.  Buckle up as it's going to be a doozy! Enjoy!   PS: All opinions presented in this episode are based off years of prior experience with both wargaming the Mantic Goblin army. Theoretical interactions of the units discussed are formed without full understanding of the complete ruleset and should be taken as a general advice.

Greetings Champions, we're back once more bearing gifts!

Greetings Gentlefolk! The fellas are back and this time have brought along a couple of guests: Matt Gilbert and Alessio Cavatore! Join the gang as they delve into as much of 4th edition KoW news as Mantic will allow (we may have gleamed a couple of fresh tid bits).  Enjoy!   PS. The audio on Matt and Alessio's end isn't the greatest and there were lots of times it just completely dropped sound. I've tried to clean it up as best I could but just be aware some sentences are more difficult to understand... Or it could be that some info needed to be redacted and censored ;). ~Bensome
