  • How Big Can Old World Get? | Warhammer the Old World | Square Based Show
    Aug 2 2024

    Yeah that's right! We said it! Not even click bait! This is an old fashioned knock down drag em out conversation about how big we think Old World can be for the Community and for Games Workshop's bottom line.

    No Age of Sigmar fans were hurt during the making of this video. Age of Sigmar is still a kick ass game with one of the best communities around. Rob still loves Age of Sigmar and Val will likely remain Sigmar Curious.

    No chapters today, sorry gang. So confident in the content that we reckon you can just randomly scroll to any point on the timeline and have a good time.

  • Dwarfen Mountain Holds List Building Strategies | Warhammer the Old World | Deep Dive
    Jul 23 2024

    Our Patreon gets you exclusive access to Discord: https://www.patreon.com/Squarebased

    Chapter headings below!

    IT'S A DEEP DOIVE AND WE'RE OVER OUR HEADS. Get it? Because Dwarfs are SHORT. Val and Rob crack open the Forces of Fantasy and take //checks notes // OVER TWO HOURS to meander their way through every item and unit entry. Do they know everything there is to know about Dwarfs? Hell naw. But you better believe that they're a couple of little dwarf freaks by the end of it. Hope you enjoy, and shout us down in the comments.

    ALSO: at 01:03:36 Val gets jumbled up about Master Runes. You CAN combine them, just not with other Master runes. He apologizes for this grudgable gaffe. There are likely others.
