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

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).

51 - Exploding Samurai

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...

49 - Bones, witches and rats

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?

48 - Ravening Orcs

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. See for yourself...

47 - New rules rule

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

46 - The Hordes are Ravening

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?

45 - Interview: Christian themes in Warhammer

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.
