In our third episode on Dwarfs we see that the creation of the great Vortex was successful and heralds the Golden age of the Dwarfs. We look at the trade between the Dwarfs and their new allies the Elves, respect, in particular, grew for Malekith and there was the expansion of the Karaz Ankor, their everlasting realm. But then BETRAYAL and DESTRUCTION as the Great War of Vengeance begins between these allies ended with the withdrawal of the elves and the quakes and eruptions that devastated the

In this our second Dwarf episode, we explored the early history of the Dwarven race, their creation in the jungle caves of the Southlands, their exploration northwards and the establishment of fortresses and holds as they move through the Worlds Edge Mountains. Guided as they were by the Ancestor Gods Grungni, Valaya, Grimnir, and their incestuous offspring the culture was formed and then BOOM! The Polar Gates collapsed and chaos washed over the land. Suddenly there are elves, mohawks and mysteries

DWARFS! DWARFS! DWARFS! In this our first look at the glorious Dwarven race we take a look at what makes a Dwarf so great… Their age! (Dhar approves). We look at the stages of a Dwarf’s life and the role they fill during each phase. We follow this up with an examination of their clan structure, and their guilds, including the mighty runesmiths, before examining the types of Dwarf out there and what happens when they break one of their three laws. We also look into what happens when things go wrong

In this our final look into Greenskins, we explore the Greenskins capacity for making war. We start with an exploration of the powers of the Waaagh, its psycho-social origins and the spells available to orc and goblin shamans. We saunter through both the Common and Savage Orc warbands and their hilariously named cavalry units. Next up are the three flavours of goblins, their units and a deeper exploration of Squig based warfare. Finally, we look at the auxiliary units, war machines and monsters

In this our fifth look into Greenskins we explore the stories of two of the greatest contemporary warbosses. Skarsnik rose to power within the crooked Moon tribe through savvy leadership and quick dealing with both enemies and allies. Exiled for his mercantile nature he fought his way back to the very heart of Karak Eight Peaks to face a former ally to claim the title of King of Eight Peaks. Grimgor Ironhide led his Immortulz across the northern old world decimating everything he could get his hands

Our fourth episode on Greenskins we look at two very different warlords both of whom were influenced by external sources. The legendary brutality of the Greenskins was often used as a weapon by manipulative foes. Azhag the Slaughterer rose to prominence in Kislev after the discovery of a mysterious crown, one that imbued him with magical powers at the expense of invidious directives. Grom the Pauch, the greatest goblin warlord in history brought the empire to its knees before being driven, through

In this our third dive into Greenskins, we look at the concept of the Orc Waaagh (always three a’s), specifically the rise and fall of Gorbad Ironclaw, the greatest Orc warlord since the founding of the Empire. With the judicious use of colossal squigs he brought his neighbouring warlords to heal before wreaking havoc on the dwarves of the Middle and Worlds Edge Mountains. With the Dwarves cowering in their Holds, he fights his way through Blackfire pass before ravaging the empire, and decimating

In this, our second Greenskins episode, we look at the early Migrations of the orcs and goblin tribes as they spread over the world. Arriving in the worlds Edge Mountains they encounter the Dwarfs and thus begin the millennia long Goblin Wars. Finally we look at the War against Humanity which culminates in the apocalyptic battle at Blackfire Pass (among the sideways skyscrapers Ben!). Their foe Sigmar and the newly united tribes of humanity blunt their invasion and found the Empire itself. Support

We look at their mysterious arrival and early pre-history together with establishing the myriad species of Greenskins, their oddly fungal reproduction cycle, and their love of both caves and psychedelic mushrooms. Finally, we touch on the many beasts that are found within their encampments and armies including that most ubiquitous of beasts, the

We examine the techno-warlocks of Clan Skryre and their horrific engines of war; The suppurating monks of Clan Pestilens and the many diseases they carry; The Frankensteinesque beastmasters of Clan Moulder with their Rat Ogres and Abominations leading the charge; and the stealthy assassins and informational-warriors (it’s a phrase!) of Clan Eshin.

The dreaded Lords of Decay, The Council of 13, their advisors and priesthood of the Horned Rat, the Grey Seers. We deep dive into the convoluted system of secrets and manipulation that constitutes Skaven politics... looking at you Clan Scruten! Finally, we take a ratty gander at the warlord clans A.K.A

We discuss the redoubtable Mandred Skavenslayer, of the Middenheim Skavenslayer’s, defender of the Empire while Emperor Boris Goldgatherer leads debauched feasts. The Skaven try their luck again releasing the Red Pox in Bretonnia only to run afoul of the wood elves and Mousillonianses i.e. people of the dread city of Mousillon. Finally we look at the

The largest deposit of warpstone ever found is on the line and the Skaven hordes vie for control of it with the undead hordes legions of Nagash. We explore the sad life and undignified death of Alcadizzar and the terrifying Fellblade that allowed Clan Rikek to conquer the mighty fortress of Nagashizzar.

In this episode, the first of our 5 part Skaven exposé, we discuss Skaven origins encapsulated in the morbid poem “Doom of Kavzar”. We discuss the Darwinist nature of their society, clans, and their ravenous obsession with warpstone. We explore whether the Horned Rat and Nurgle are brothers from another mother or just brothers in rotted and smelly arms? We join the first great expansions from Skavenblight, after the Great Machine malfunctions, as they come into conflict with Greenskins and Dwarves
