Episode 70 - Death Watch pt 1 - Who are the Death Watch and how does one become one
On today’s cast we start our coverage of the Death Watch,
the special forces of the Space Marines.
We start with a quick overview of what the Death Watch are and then dive
a bit into their two different founding stories (one was way better than the other). After that we talk about how a Space Marine
joins the Death Watch, both the official and common practice as well as the
Black Shield style. From there we focus
a bit more on how the Death Watch function as a fighting force in the imperial
forces, with their smaller and more specific goals and actions to achieve great
success via tiny events.

Episode 69 - GW Rules Oopsies - When lore and tabletop rules dont mix
On today’s cast we are doing a John special. This cast is a dive into some our favorite broken rules of the game over the past 20+ years. A fun trip down memory lane, some of those memories are little bad for some players. We open with explaining Rules As Written and how that sets up some of these funny interactions. After that we dive head first into some glorious things like: no pre-measuring, guess weapons, custom vehicles, instant death, grey knight and Eldar daemon summoning, invisibility, impossible combat due to base to base rules, and more. We hope you find this fun and funny as we did.
