We are back... after quite some time away Ben, Dieter and Jimmy have finally managed to get back together, and what a time to do it. After the massive GW announcement recently of 9th edition 40k coming soon. How could we not talk about it. So join us as we loosely break down what we have seen and heard on the coming new edition. Then we speculate a lot on what could be coming. But all in all, we are excited. Let us know what you think...Socials:Jimmy: https://www.instagram.com/the_drop_bear_au/Ben: https://www.instagram.com/greyforge/Dieter: https://www.instagram.com/darkoathstudios/Sponsors:Decked Out Gaming: https://www.deckedoutgaming.com/

We are back everyone, finally. Even in these troubled times we still find it hard to get a normal recording schedule. But would you expect anything less from us?Anyways, in this episode we take a dive into the newest book, Saga of the Beast. We were very lucky to get our hands on the book before all the shut downs, and for Ben, this was most exciting, for his beloved Orks have some new toys to play with, and blow up. So if you're at home and want to hear 3 Aussies ramble on about Warhammer, then you're in luck.

Come one, come all and experience our ramblings once again! To take a break from the usual book review, as there has been some time since the last, we decided to tackle a subject we all will, probably, experience during our hobbying days. The Slump. We talk about how we have coped with this and come back from it and the plethora of 40k content out there to devour to keep you engaged. We also go through our usual hobby progress and upcoming events. And one last thing, our big announcement of this episode is we have an official sponsor! That's right, the legends at Decked Out Gaming have come on board with us.

This is it! We made it to our 10th episode, can you believe it? We certainly can't. In this, the final episode of the year, we take a look into not 1, but 3 books, a mistake? Most likely, but we're doing it anyways. Not only do we fumble, stumble and most likely make things up while going through Faith & Fury, Blood of Baal and Chapter Approved 2019, but we take a look at the most recent GW announcements, our, very small, amount of hobby progress and waffle on, a lot. So join us for the last time this decade, and if you make it to the end, you win!Socials:Jimmy: https://www.instagram.com/the_drop_bear_au/ Dieter: https://www.instagram.com/darkoathstudios/ Ben: https://www.instagram.com/greyforge/Plugs:Decked Out Gaming: https://www.deckedoutgaming.comEmerald Hobbies: https://www.emeraldhobbies.com.au/

Then finally, we get into the new Sisters of Battle codex! Which thanks to a guardian angel, Jimmy was able to get his hands on not one, but two copies!
