    Da Red Gobbo Collection - A Grot Revolution! | 40k BOOK CLUB

    Website/links: https://ttpfieldmanual.captivate.fm – *BONUS CONTENT!* Joshy and Jonny discuss for Book Club, "Da Red Gobbo Collection", an anthology released in 2024 compiling several works from Mike Brooks, Denny Flowers, and Rhuairidh James. There will be spoilers. Da Red Gobbo is synonymous with the fires of 'revolushun' which stir in certain Grots' hearts. Whether called to action by the oppression of da Ork bosses or by the need to lead their fellow twits in defiance of an overwhelming enemy, Da Red Gobbo is not one entity but a figurehead adopted by many a Grot. This was definitely the most 'fun' we have had with a Warhammer novel. Our next Book Club will be a bit more serious with The Horus Heresy: Dropsite Massacre, written by John French, released in 2025. – TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro and quick impressions 6:02 Novella 1 - Da Gobbo's Revenge 11:36 Novella 2 - Da Gobbo's Demise 19:37 Novella 3 - Da Gobbo Rides Again 31:17 Da future of Da Red Gobbo and comparing Da Red Gobbo miniatures 36:16 Closing remarks and next book club – TTP Field Manual is brought to you by Joshy and Jonny, best friends and gaming enthusiasts from their local group, Trust the Process Hobbies.
