52 - "They're winning, let's fight for them!"

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

51 - Exploding Samurai

2025/06/07

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

49 - Bones, witches and rats

Forces of Fantasy ·

2025/04/11

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

48 - Ravening Orcs

Forces of Fantasy ·

2025/03/31

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.

47 - New rules rule

Forces of Fantasy ·

2025/03/26

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 to unpack and compare to earlier and later editions of

46 - The Hordes are Ravening

Forces of Fantasy ·

2025/03/08

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.All the news articles are taken from www.warhammer-community.com Want to get in touch?

2025/02/24

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.

No time machine this week, but plenty of fun stuff to cover in the ways of new reveals and releases. Here's the articles discussed in case you want to check for

43 - Goblin strategy

Forces of Fantasy ·

2025/01/15

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:

42 - Dragon-Bolt (no Z)

Forces of Fantasy ·

2025/01/07

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. Here's some of the articles mentioned in the news

Forces of Fantasy ·

2024/12/22

Merry Christmas everyone! For this special episode we're going to do something completely different. I invite you to come and sit by the campfire and listen to the complete, unabridged tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Because if Die Hard is a Christmas movie (of course it is!) then this is a Christmas story, and even more so. Want to get in touch?

40 - Goin' Stunty

Forces of Fantasy ·

2024/12/19

We're picking up where we left off with the Citadel Journal Spring 1987. This episode, we're taking a look at two war machines: the (in)famous Man Mangler and the Elven equivalent of the A-team in their attack chariot. Also, there's skeletons. Lots of skeletons. And they're plastic. An anonymous author who may or may not be Rick Priestly (quite possibly not) explains why the plastic skeleton kit is so amazing (I agree!) and how to get the most out of it.

Just like GW makes you wait a long time after certain announcements, so too does this podcast. But it's all the sweeter when they finally get released! So too (hopefully) with this episode, in which we look back at some (announcements of) new releases and (announcements of) old releases, in the first look at the Citadel Journal Spring 1987. So get set, for this is going to be a multi-part episode.Want to get in touch? Here's a bunch of

38 - You look... familiar

Forces of Fantasy ·

2024/11/05

The forces of Chaos unleash their worst! Tremble before such names as Demonnet, Mite and Homonculus! And they Chaos Sorcerers these familiars accompany are pretty decent too. But it's mostly the familiars that steal the glory. Oh, and there's also some new miniatures that may or may not be of use in your armies. But hey, look at the cool old stuff!Want to get in touch?

2024/09/19

What if you don’t want to play regular Warhammer? Then there’s the Warhammer Fantasy Role Playing game! And what if you don’t want that either? Don’t worry, White Dwarf 83 has got you covered with a special mini game. And if you don’t want to play THAT either? Well, then I’m sorry it took you 36 episodes to realize, but then this might just not be the podcast for you. But for all the rest of you, here’s a new episode full of Vikings, Ogre on Chaos Dwarf carnage (with some added Fanatics and a robot,

Forces of Fantasy ·

2024/09/11

Warhammer takes to the seas in this White Dwarf 82 article with "simple" (and notoriously incomplete) rules for sailing ships. Get some cardboard and balsa wood to build ships, bang them together until they sink and hope there's room for you too on that door.In sadder news, we learn that beloved White Dwarf editor Paul Sawyer has fallen terminally ill. His family have set up a GoFundMe to make Paul's final months as comfortable as possible:

Forces of Fantasy ·

2024/09/03

There's a lot to unpack in White Dwarf 81, which is exactly what we're going to do in this episode. Well, after grumpy old GJ ranting on about new miniatures and how the pacing of GW is too fast and how franchises used to be better in the past, that is.#warhammer #warhammertheoldworld #gamesworkshop #warhammerfantasy #oldhammer !!

Forces of Fantasy ·

2024/08/26

What do you do when you learn about the existence of your evil kin? You gather all troops you can find and march to war! That is exactly what king Ulfar Stonehammer does when he learns about the existence of Chaos Dwarfs. But is leaving home at a time like this such a good idea? Before you know it, your hold gets retroactively taken over by Goblins! In this episode we delve into White Dwarf 80 and meet the Imperial Dwarfs.
