21 - The Magnificent Sev... er... Sven

What do you get when you combine a tabletop fantasy game with a classic western movie? The Magnificent Sven, of course! This episode we drive our trusty Voltsvagn (not what you think) to Vastervik (not where you think) and help some poor villagers fight off toads - or die trying. We take our time machine back to 1984 for the final time with this look at the The Magnificent Sven scenario that came in the Warhammer second edition box set. And since it's an introductory scenario, you don't really need much. Because nothing says "welcome to Warhammer" quite like needing a dining table fit for an orphanage, multiple friends, lots of time and a few hundred miniatures.

20 - Who goes where?

Last time we discussed the Known World and its history, today it's time to take a look at all the peoples, denizens, beasties and monsters that live, or walk, or float in the Warhammer World as it was envisioned in 2nd edition. From old favourites like Orcs and Elves to lost creatures such as the Coatl and the Jabberwock, you'll find it all in this extensive review of the latter half of the Battle Bestiary for second edition!

19 - Back to school!

Alright class, pay attention. Today's topics are geography and history. Who can tell me where the New Coast lies? The entrance to the Elf Kingdoms? Who discovered Lustria? And when was the last Chaos Incursion? What? You can't answer any of these questions? Then what are you waiting for? Hop aboard my trusty time machine and join me in 1984 as we explore the beginnings of the Warhammer World.

18 - Magical Mayhem

"Pssst! Hey, you. Yeah, you there. Always wanted to be a wizard? Just touch my puss... eh, this golden cat statue. Watch your step though, don't break that urn..." 
Yes, the above can very well have been an actual conversation in 2nd edition Warhammer Fantasy - scroll to the very end of the episode if you want to find out how that works. Speaking of how things work, in this episode we'll discuss the ins and outs of the magic system. So get your pointy hats on, take out your wand and let's get casting!As mentioned on the show, here's the leaked Pegasus pictures: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bretonnian/comments/170ctbu/i_had_planned_to_keep_this_one_under_wraps_but/?share_id=eXPvf1LJ_N-7YYL2FW3Wf&utm_content=1&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

17 - Let’s smash some skulls (again)

Welcome to the next phase of the Forces of Fantasy podcast, in which we leave 1st edition behind us (although not quite, as you will see) and start our read-through of 2nd edition. Or, at least, the first book of 2nd edition. A slightly longer episode than usual, but I guess that just show you how much Warhammer has matured in a year and a half. Or at least, how much of a mess the 1st edition rules were in hindsight.

16 -The Seeds of the Warhammer World

In this episode we revisit some of the previously discussed materials for First Edition Warhammer Fantasy and take a look at the bits and bobs of lore we're getting. What has changed? And what has stayed the same throughout later editions? Lots, either way, surprisingly enough.

15 - Amazing Amazonian Armaments

Did you know Lustria is teeming with Amazons? And that they have very advanced weapons? Which you can loot? Well, you do now, thanks to the scenario in the Second Citadel Compendium. Get ready for a wild ride of cheap miniatures you definitely shouldn't suck, koka-induced crazed fanatical women hiding in temples distributing bolter pistols (though I don't think they claim to provide the basis for a system of government) and a hattrick of competitions. As mentioned on the show:You can view Chaos Rising here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSGa_GO3Ewk&t=29s&ab_channel=CHAOSRISINGAnd all the usual links:

14 - Drunk Octopus

My apologies for my prolonged absence. It has a reason, I promise. Well, multiple reasons, to be fair. But now I'm back, and we've got a lot of catching up to do about all the hobby stuff I've been doing as well as the recent releases from Nova Open. Because who doesn't need a drunk octopus on their gaming table...? (Promised link: https://i.redd.it/py9vqx759wg41.jpg).
