Forces of Fantasy52 - "They're winning, let's fight for them!"The good thing about Ravening Hordes is that it gives you access to allies (which are an army within your army) and mercenaries. The good thing about mercenaries is that they can supplement your army. The BAD thing about mercenaries is that they can at some point choose to supplement your opponent's army! Take a trip back in time, away from all the Cathay news and releases, to the final section of the Ravening Hordes (1987, there's so many it needs a designation).

2025-06-222h 07Forces of Fantasy51 - Exploding SamuraiAfter a lengthy period of no podcasts, the Forces of Fantasy Podcast is back with another discussion of Ravening Hordes armies. In this episode: Chaos (men, dwarfs and beasts), Nippon and Norse. One of these has been split in three and the other two are just mentioned in the lore presently, if that. Ah, those were the days, when you could make Vikings battle exploding samurai...

2025-06-021h 05Forces of Fantasy49 - Bones, witches and ratsWhat do Undead, Dark Elves and Skaven have in common? They're the next three army lists we're looking at in the Ravening Hordes book for 2nd edition. Each army brings its own unique fighting style to the table, but you're also limited by some serious minimum model counts. And by missing rules, but hey, that's Oldhammer (or Warhammer in general) for you.

2025-04-111h 57Forces of Fantasy48 - Ravening OrcsJust one army list today? Yes, but there's a reason for that, as you will hear on the podcast. Or an excuse. Either way, it's just one, but an important one: Orcs and Goblins. They are very much the same as in later editions, yet also oddly different. See for yourself...

2025-03-311h 18Forces of Fantasy47 - New rules ruleIt's inevitable that an expansion booklet that gives you new army lists also gives you some new rules. In this episode, we take a look at the additions and changes to Warhammer 2nd edition that were needed to use the Ravening Hordes book. Anything from terrain setup to deployment to magic items to manoeuvres and formations to characters and challenges to rout, rallying and pursuit to... no, wait, that's it. But that's still plenty to unpack and compare to earlier and later editions of Warhammer.

2025-02-0451 minForces of Fantasy43 - Goblin strategyIt's taken four episodes, but today we finally can close the book, er, magazine, on the Citadel Journal Spring 1987. It's given us lots of cool rules, new models and even a few promises! And of course some strategy tips, one of which even works every time! At least, as long as your opponent is an Elf. Dig in!

This episode covers the next section of the Citadel Journal Spring 1987, which is mostly dragons. But there's also a daemon. A shiny golden one, to be precise.

I invite you to come and sit by the campfire and listen to the complete, unabridged tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Because if Die Hard is a Christmas movie (of course it is!) then this is a Christmas story, and even more so.

2024-12-232h 57Forces of Fantasy40 - Goin' StuntyWe're picking up where we left off with the Citadel Journal Spring 1987. This episode, we're taking a look at two war machines: the (in)famous Man Mangler and the Elven equivalent of the A-team in their attack chariot. Also, there's skeletons. Lots of skeletons. And they're plastic. An anonymous author who may or may not be Rick Priestly (quite possibly not) explains why the plastic skeleton kit is so amazing (I agree!) and how to get the most out of it.

But it's all the sweeter when they finally get released! So too (hopefully) with this episode, in which we look back at some (announcements of) new releases and (announcements of) old releases, in the first look at the Citadel Journal Spring 1987. So get set, for this is going to be a multi-part episode.

And they Chaos Sorcerers these familiars accompany are pretty decent too. But it's mostly the familiars that steal the glory. Oh, and there's also some new miniatures that may or may not be of use in your armies. But hey, look at the cool old stuff!

And what if you don’t want that either? Don’t worry, White Dwarf 83 has got you covered with a special mini game. And if you don’t want to play THAT either? Well, then I’m sorry it took you 36 episodes to realize, but then this might just not be the podcast for you.

Get some cardboard and balsa wood to build ships, bang them together until they sink and hope there's room for you too on that door.

That is exactly what king Ulfar Stonehammer does when he learns about the existence of Chaos Dwarfs. But is leaving home at a time like this such a good idea? Before you know it, your hold gets retroactively taken over by Goblins! In this episode we delve into White Dwarf 80 and meet the Imperial Dwarfs.
2024-08-2629 minForces of Fantasy32 - Of Ogres and Chaos DwarfsGuess what? I’m not dead yet! [Cue disappointed groans] No, honestly, I’m getting better! Anyway, while real life has so far kept getting in the way of recording another episode, I have been devising some cunning plans to get back out there again. One of them is to make shorter episodes (the topics at hand lend themselves very well to that). Another one is to just get behind the microphone and record. Which is exactly what I did! Enjoy this discussion of the newly released (back in '86) Chaos Dwarf and Ogre miniatures!

2024-04-052h 53Forces of Fantasy30 - Skaven sneak into Second EditionFor this episode we take a look at the third Citadel Journal (Spring '86). Turns out, there's a LOT to unpack. Not only do we get background and rules for some of the catalog miniatures, we also get an entire new faction, the Skaven, with full rules and lore. And as if that's not enough, the Terror of the Lichemaster continues with a three-way battle over the famous monastery of La Maisontaal. Get ready for the Forces of Fantasy's longest episode to date.

Wonder at the diligent Dwarf miners, they said. Get attacked by a horde of zombies and skeletons (flaming heads optional), that they didn't say. Nor that there is a very real chance of being killed so some run-down Necromancer named Kemmler can live for another day - or worse, that your life gets converted into a magic point for said Necro. Oh well, better get a sword and hide behind that halfling with the cooking pot on his head...
2024-01-121h 46Forces of Fantasy28 - Robotic Reindeer and Sinister SantasA lot has happened in 2023, and I mean A LOT. Both in my personal life and related to the podcast. So let's take a look in the rearview mirror. Oh, and don't be surprised if you see an cybernetic reindeer pulling a sleigh loaded out with presents and cannons. It's all part of the time of the year (well, at least it was in 1985).

It fits with the theme of Chaos that we see coming up more and more in GW publications as time progresses. This episode, we're taking a look at the Third Citadel Compendium However, where Chaos is on the rise, content is slacking. The first two iterations also gave us a lot of gaming articles, this one is mostly about modelling, painting and the catalogue pages. Still, plenty of stuff to go on. And of course a brand new comic strip featuring Kaleb Daark, a hero o...
2023-12-141h 04Forces of Fantasy26 - Blood on the Streets!It must be one of the most misnamed Warhammer materials: Blood on the Streets. Don't get me wrong, the pack is absolutely awesome with 12 cardboard buildings and a 22-page booklet that gives you the background for three adjacent villages in a forgotten corner of the Empire. But as to the title, there's no blood (because it doesn't contain scenarios) and there are no streets (only buildings). That said, let's have some fun exploring the Riding and its varied inhabitants and strange customs. Anyone fancy another frog? (Don't worry, that question will make sense eventually).

2023-12-071h 57Forces of Fantasy25 - Journaling timeRemember that quarterly publication known as the Citadel Journal? Yeah, neither does GW. But they had such high hopes. Even in this Second Citadel Journal, released half a year after the first, they still want to go quarterly. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to be glad with what we did get. A new scenario, modelling and painting tips, behind the scenes glimpses, more Regiments of Renown and of course lots and lots of British humour. Not bad, for a not-quite-quarterly publication.

With the help of your trusty, or rather, untrustworthy, Orc lieutenants. Nothing stands in the way, except some Elves, some Dwarfs, and some Humans. And then some more Elves, Dwarfs and Humans, holed up at a place called Orc's Drift. It's probably going to be a blood bath. But you will prevail! If the other's arrive, eventually. Or your name is not King F'yar!

Well, also at White Dwarf 63, but all the relevant stuff that's in there is also in the Journal, so let's just do the Journal. We get rules errata, reader questions, announcements of grand plans and more Regiments of Renown than any sane man could field.

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...
2023-10-271h 47Forces of Fantasy20 - 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!

2023-10-051h 25Forces of Fantasy17 - 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.
2023-09-272h 39Forces of Fantasy16 -The Seeds of the Warhammer WorldIn 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.
2023-09-191h 55Forces of Fantasy15 - Amazing Amazonian ArmamentsDid 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.

2023-05-2755 minForces of Fantasy3 - Forces of Warhammer: The Old WorldWe've gotten some Old World news! Games Workshop revealed the factions that will be prominent in their upcoming new game. These "Forces of W:tOW" (which doesn't have nearly the same ring to it as "Forces of Fantasy") show us not only which armies we will get rules for, but also some models that are almost certainly probably maybe going to be re-released.
