  • Episode 14: A Legionary Primer (FUN edition) [Featuring: Dan]
    Jan 21 2026

    Settling into an already distressing 2026 we're rounding out our little trio of episodes on Space Marines by skimming along each Traitor legion. Much like episode 11, we give you a taste of the various legions - who they are, how they came to be, and what their general issue is. By the magic of editing we're joined by friend of the show Dan to hear about why the Iron Hands are relatable to the over 40s.

    ALSO Lumi does a scream that was SO LOUD I had to muffle it down to about 20% of the original volume, and it's STILL scary. So watch for that. Lumi, secret World Eater? Who knows.

  • Episode 13: Holly's First Game!
    Jan 7 2026

    Happy new year everyone, I'm sure it will be better than last year and that several geopolitically insane things haven't already happened. BUT DID YOU KNOW that in the dying days of 2025, Holly had her first game? Well she did, and you better bet that we're gonna talk about it.

    This episode, El and Holly chatter about the value of cool moments, why being overconfident is an excellent way to invite comeuppance, and how satisfying it is to destroy a Warlord by running him over with a tank (spoiler: Holly says it's very satisfying).

    Come hang as we go over the wreckage that inevitably follows a first game.

  • Episode 12: Christmas Wishes
    Dec 24 2025

    Ho ho ho! It's a time of wonder and joy and we'd all like a break please. So we're having a fun one. We go round the table and bounce around the various magical wishes we have, hoping for a christmas miracle to make them turn up in the game please.

    We also debate if the Emperor controls the weather, Lumi argues that the Skaven should be part of the the T'au empire, and most importantly Holly wishes for more tanks.

    Have a lovely holiday.
