Adam or better known as“Astrangerdanger”, started Warmachine after a friend handed him a huge Menthe force and sealed the deal by showing him how to turn models into a rack. Now he’s back in the game, building community in Oklahoma and testing his way into Colorado’s meta. Adam joins Chris and I to break down Menoth’s new options, including Thyra’s defense-boosting feat and assassination tricks, the hard-hitting Blood of Martyrs, and Malekus paired with the arc-node-like Eye of Truth. Along the way: tournament-team plans, hobby stories, and why Adam came to trust NJT’s community-building wasn’t just a slogan.

A Behemoth tried to stop a moving train and got run over. Warmachine and SFG Lore Master Sherwin Mathews shares the story behind Lock & Load EU's sprawling 20-foot narrative battle, where players can switch tracks, race through tunnels, and even ride the train into the fight, spoilers ahead FYI. Angus, Chris, and I also get into why Dozer is purple (the answer is super simple), how living narrative events can change the fate of characters like Admiral Boomhowler, and how story and rules shape new armies and returning favorites. Along the way: the Dread Armada’s grim bargain with the Orgoth, the future of the Trollbloods, and Sherwin’s own love of the Thornfall Alliance.

Menoth’s new flame-themed army may be more frightening than I first thought. One caster can set enemies ablaze, turn that fire into boosted attacks or damage rolls, then teleport out after an assassination attempt. Chris and I break down Fiora and the starter box’s fire-slinging Crusader, Valeria, Pyrrhus, and Flame Guard Defenders. Ever wonder whether these forces were really designed to fight each other? We also build Chris’s Lock & Load troll list live, hear about my 14–16-hour Abyssal King paint job, and tease a first-of-its-kind episode to come... next epsiode.

In this episode, I share my experiences playing two 100-point Warmachine games with my Brinebloods. After being quickly defeated in the first game by a spray-heavy list, I adjusted my army composition for a more competitive second game. The crew and I discuss tactical insights around units like the Abyssal King, Scuttlebutt, and Ragemonger, while debating list-building strategies. We also touch on the War Table digital platform, upcoming community events, painting tips, and the growing mainstream acceptance of tabletop gaming culture, all while looking ahead to the Lock and Load event.

In this episode, I sit down with Angus and Chris to talk about the recent updates to the Warmachine page on the Steamforged Games website. I point out how much more streamlined the design is now, and how much easier it is to find things like mercenary units and customer support. We also take a moment to celebrate our podcast’s one-year anniversary, which is a huge milestone for us, and I tease an upcoming live stream that we’re all really excited about. The main topic of the episode is the new caster, Neymar. I share my thoughts on her lore, admitting that I find it a bit underwhelming compared to some of the older casters, which is a bit disappointing. However, I’m really impressed by her gameplay mechanics, especially her unique hunger point generating system, her cavalry abilities, and her strong field marshal skills. Overall, while I have mixed feelings about her backstory, I think Neymar brings some exciting new elements to the game.
