68 - First Edition musings with Padre

Forces of Fantasy ·

2026/10/09

This episode, I'm joined by Padre from BigSmallWorlds / Tilea's Troubles for a lovely chat about playing Warhammer Fantasy Battles 1st edition, both back in the day and more recently. Well, recent-ish anyway. You can find Padre's stuff over at https://bigsmallworlds.com/ and https://www.youtube.com/@bigsmallworlds. If you want to learn more about Padre's Tilea's Troubles campaign, I can highly recommend the interview he did with Josh over at the Crown of Command podcast

67 - Mutations!

Forces of Fantasy ·

2026/09/21

White Dwarf 99 has not a lot of Warhammer Fantasy content, but it does give you something to play with - which is exactly what we're going to do. We're given a preview of the (then) upcoming Realm of Chaos book with the infamous D1000 table of mutations, and rolling up a character with it ourselves. Oh, and there was also a preview or something... But MUTATIONS!!!

In White Dwarf 98 we get to unpack some Chaos goodies! From more Minotaurs (fetchez la vache!) to Thugs to Centaurs. It's not all Chaos though, there's also Dwarfs. But we've seen them already, so I'm juist going to skip over them. Chaos all the way today!

65 - BONUS: Old world lore part 3

Forces of Fantasy ·

2026/09/10

Well colour me forgetful. I completely missed this episode after coming back from my holidays and went straight into the continuation of the White Dwarfs. Here's the 3rd and final part of the Old World lore as set out in the WHFB 3rd edition rulebook. Enjoy!

65 - Yea though I walk...

2026/09/05

Quality over quantity in this 97th issue of White Dwarf. There are not many Warhammer Fantasy (related) articles, but there is one. And it's a big one: a scenario with 4 opposing forces (2 a side), Dwarfs vs Greenskins. Looks fun to play. Now to find some Dwarf Pikemen...

63 - Lobotomized Human Slaves

Forces of Fantasy ·

2026/08/27

No, dear listener, I'm not calling YOU a lobotomized human slave... Although... were I a Slann, I might. We unpack the Slann mercenary force and quite a bit more 3rd edition goodness (including a behind the scenes look by Richard Halliwell) in this look at White Dwarf 96.

62 - Timeline of the Old World (lore analysis part 2)

Forces of Fantasy ·

2026/08/21

We continue our Warhammer 3rd edition background section with a look at the timeline - divided into the Elder Age (covering Elves and Dwarfs) and the Age of Man. I wonder what race that last one is about. Probably Halflings. (Yes, there's Halflings in there, don't worry).

61 - 3rd edition rulebook overview

Forces of Fantasy ·

2026/08/14

Alright, this should have been episode 60, or perhaps 59a. Either way, it should have come before the lore section. But it didn't. This is the audio of the video of me looking through the 3rd edition rulebook. A cursory glance only, mind you. You can find the video on my Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/forcesoffantasy/posts/warhammer-3rd-165440496?pr=true) and on my Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ul3gkNaQ-Y) if you want to have a look-see. And if you've already watched the video, then

60 - 3rd edition lore analysis part 1

Forces of Fantasy ·

2026/08/06

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 with the development of the Warhammer World.

59 - 1st look at 3rd edition

Forces of Fantasy ·

2026/07/23

We're unpacking White Dwarf 95 on this episode, and boy, is there a lot to unpack. Tons of new miniatures, and of course a special feature teasing the rules for Warhammer Fantasy Battles 3rd edition. More Forces of Fantasy on patreon.com/forcesoffantasy

58 - Orcs for the Orclord

Forces of Fantasy ·

2026/07/13

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!

57 - Forces of... Forty Kay?

Forces of Fantasy ·

2026/07/01

The Warhammer Summer Reveal promises some new minis and rules for you Old World fans (as well as some new potential minis for use in your older editions of Warhammer). Speaking of older editions, White Dwarf 93 reveals what the (then) new game Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader is all about. So for just this once, we'll spend a bit of time reflecting on 40k as well as Fantasy.

56 - Monster Mash '87

Forces of Fantasy ·

2026/06/22

What do Wyverns, Dragons, Minotaurs and Giant Scorpions have in common? They're all featured in White Dwarf 92, alongside such goodies as the Goblin Battle Chariots (yes, plural), Scarloc's Scouts, Wizards, ninja's and Chaos (both the Dwarfs and the Thugs variety). An audio-only look at a miniatures heavy White Dwarf. There'll be an article next time, I promise!

55 - "Watch out! Dwarf snowballs incoming!"

Forces of Fantasy ·

2026/06/09

In this episode, we discuss all the Warhammer goodness in White Dwarf 91 - and it is PACKED with new miniatures (well, they were new at some point), WFRP (although I won't go into that) and an awesome looking 4-player scenario in Dog Peak Pass, Black Fire Pass' lesser known counterpart. And yes, there is a mechanic in this scenario for tossing Dwarf snowballs. And no, these are not snowballs thrown by Dwarfs.

54 - Orcs and other miniatures - and a chance to win...

Forces of Fantasy ·

2026/05/30

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 episode.

That was a long wait, but I've finally crawled my way through my obligations towards the microphone again to continue our journey through 2nd edition Warhammer Fantasy with this coverage of White Dwarf 88, featuring the awesome looking Snotling Pump Wagon and a specialized Goblin army, the Broken Nose Tribe.

Forces of Fantasy ·

2025/06/21

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 so many it needs a designation).All the news articles are taken

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.

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.All the news articles are taken from www.warhammer-community.com Want to get in touch? Here's a bunch of
