On this week’s episode, Brad and Eric step away from Warhammer to talk about Trench Crusade, the new Warhammer killer!!! …or so they say. They managed to make an entire wargame based on the Festus the Leechlord model and I don’t know how to feel about it…

Wow two years flew by quick

GreyKnightHammerWasNotFound

Loved the previous family Feud, can't wait for the next one. Also, would love to see more of the 40k players look at other tabletop war games.

Would be open to Trench Crusade lore video. Not to interested in the game, but maybe you can change my mind. Hope you have a great week.

I found this episode pretty helpful! Particularly the breakdown of faction aesthetics (I was having a hard time finding the Normal Dudes ™️), and the rules section. A lot of the Wargame market feels pretty impenetrable to me as a novice, so I’d love to see episodes on the various other offerings if the video does well enough.

Uliss

Thanks for the episode! Idea for an episode for new 40k players/ part of an episode - comparing different options for model transportation, like you made with listbuilding apps (official GW carry cases/ magnets under bases and a cookie tin/ 3rd party products)

Soul of Sunlight

Definitely would love more talk on Trench Crusade or other games

Such is the power of nagash!

I honestly just enjoy listening to you guys talk about hobby shit, regardless if you explore more games beyond Warhammer. However I DO want more poe episodes.

Boss Gobgoblotz

A fantastic episode! I would love to see more Trench Crusade (and more) content in the future!

Noblese Oblahaj

Good episode. Fyi, as a mostly audio listener, I love the game shows. The banter is always great.

Ratchet

When eventually talking more about Trench Crusade’s lore; I would see if Kirioth would come on. He’s a big fan and from my point of view, he pretty much spearheaded the topic on AdRic which then prompted their spinoff podcast where he talks about there.

Okay, now do an episode about the Starcraft TMG. :3 I guarantee you a faction overview would not take nearly as long. :P Edit: HOLY SHIT, I AM A PROPHET!! Feedback time!! I really liked this episode. You both have an incredible gift of objectively sharing an opinion to make it very digestible, which is precisely why I started watching this channel. I know that you both appear to be lore nerds at heart, but your ability to look at and understand the feel of a game's mechanics and put it into words is unparalleled. I've heard a few descriptions of TC before, but never the way you guys worded it. I now know exactly who of my friends I would recommend this game for, and you guys are stellar at providing that kinds of context, the exact same as how you provide the general theme of a 40k Army when you do faction reviews. TLDR: Am big fan of this episode and how informative it was.

Vinay Date

I did enjoy this episode, and given that, I'd love to hear your take on the Starcraft minis-game also.

Christopher OBrien

Sinc3 you're looking at other game systems competing with Warhammer... thus begings us asking for a Battletech Video.

onewithnothoughts

I appreciate both of your perspectives on the game and would like to hear more. But on the whole, I wouldn't want to hear this too often, maybe once every 6 episodes (1.5 months). Maybe if you were to pivot to a more general non-warhammmer show I would be into it more. But I listen for the Warhammer stuff.

Frog_22

I enjoy a good setting, and it sounds like this one rocks. Well, as long as I don't actually have to live there. Anyway, the next time I run a grimdark game I'll see if I can blend this with the Inquisition rpg.
