42 - Dragon-Bolt (no Z)

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 section:https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/df2beqmo/chop-dragons-down-to-size-with-the-legendary-wyrm-slayer-of-bretonnia/https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/yuhxdqrv/swindle-and-smash-with-the-new-hobgrot-honcho-orruk-terrain-and-manifestations/https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/glalb5fm/old-world-almanack-made-to-order-in-a-time-of-anarchy/https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/ssvcpoae/saturday-pre-orders-mankind-makes-its-mark-on-the-world-of-legend/https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/reyt1ogb/old-world-almanack-the-empire-and-its-armies-of-infamy/https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/lp2kr6wu/old-world-almanack-whats-up-with-the-empire-of-man/https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/lv57psru/saturday-pre-orders-the-ven-densts-drop-in-for-boxing-day/

41 - Silent Knight, Green Knight

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.

40 - Goin' Stunty

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.

39 - Of Balrogs and undead mercenaries (Citadel Journal Spring 87 part 1)

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.

38 - You look... familiar

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!

37 - Halloween special

Spooky season is upon us! But why do we (well, you, probably) celebrate Halloween? Let's dive into some real-world origins of this haunted holiday. And let's also not forget to explore some terrifying tales from the Undead and Vampire Counts army books.

36 - The Slaughterer and the Tin Man

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, because, why not?) and if you’re quick some new Chaos Made to Order miniatures.

35 - Hello, sailor!

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: https://www.gofundme.com/f/make-dads-remaining-months-happy-comfortable?utm_campaign=fp_ss_icons_ai&utm_content=amp9v1&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link. If you're the praying type, I encourage you to say a prayer for Paul and his family.

34 - Ninja vs Chaos Warriors

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.

33 - Black-masked Dwarfs with respirators

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.
