Warband Wisdom is back. After plenty of community demand, Path to Glory brings one of its classic deep dive formats into second edition, reviving the old Jonathan and Aman style of focused breakdowns with a detailed look at how specific warbands actually play on the table.George and Mark kick the series back off with a full episode on Kainan’s Reapers, the original Ossiarch Bonereapers warband and a longtime favorite for both of them. They dig into the warscroll, break down how to sequence key abilities and explain how to approach positioning, inspire choices, token placement, and matchup flow with one of the game’s most technical warbands.From bone tithe management to deployment traps to the realities of playing a fragile but high skill warband well, this episode is all about helping players understand not just what Kainan’s Reapers do, but how to get real value from them. If you’ve missed the classic Warband Wisdom format, this is its second edition resurrection.________________________________________________Path to Glory is supported by our wonderful patrons on Patreon.

Fresh off a win at the Warhammer Underworlds US Open in Palm Springs, Thomas “Saxthom” joins the show to break down the run that carried his Shadeborn to the top of the standings. George and Thomas dig into the aggressive Blazing and Raging pairing, the deck decisions behind a full kill plan, and why leaning all the way into damage made the warband sing. From early leader snipes and clutch card timing to the constant threat of scoring Annihilation, this episode walks through the preparation, key matchups, and big moments that defined the event.Along the way, Saxthom shares how practice after Worlds shaped the final list, how The Shadeborn’s mobility and pressure forced opponents onto the back foot, and what it takes to navigate a high-level tournament where every activation counts. It is a deep dive into murder elves, risky objective choices, and the decisions that turned a dark horse warband into a tournament champion._________________________________________________Path to Glory is supported by our wonderful patrons on Patreon.

Treasure just got dangerous. Nexus of Power storms into Warhammer Underworlds with a brand-new Rivals deck built around one simple idea: if it shines, grab it! The new Covetous rule rewards fighters for fighting near treasure and turns Range 1 weapons into longer-reaching threats the moment a token is claimed. But greed has consequences... The lads break down how the deck reshapes positioning, why Flex-style warbands like the new Thanatek’s Tithe or Borgit’s Beastgrabbaz might thrive here, and whether aggressive Strike builds can also lean into the greed. This deck invites calculated risk, board control battles, and high-stakes objective play. If you like your games tense, tactical, and just a little greedy, Nexus of Power might be your next obsession._________________________________________________Path to Glory is supported by our wonderful patrons on Patreon.

The Ossiarch Bonereapers march into Embergard, and Path to Glory is cracking open Thanatek’s Tithe in full. This new Flex warband brings cadaver tokens, soul-linked attacks, resurrection tricks, and a Rivals deck built around harvesting “truebone” for Nagash’s grand design. On paper, it’s a macabre engine of bone collection, battlefield positioning, and calculated sacrifice.George and Mark break down every rule on the warscroll, from channeling attacks through Retainers to farming cadaver tokens and raising fallen Mortis Reapers. They dig into how the mechanics are meant to flow, where the pressure points sit, and what it will take to make this skeletal machine hum in competitive play. There’s theorycrafting, salt, cautious optimism, and a whole lot of discussion about how many attacks you really need to keep the tithe paid.It’s a big reveal, a big shake-up for Death players, and a deep dive into whether Thanatek’s Tithe will claim bones… or end up bone dry..._________________________________________________Path to Glory is supported by our wonderful patrons on Patreon.

Path to Glory kicks off 2026 after its annual January break with a community-driven return episode built entirely around listener questions. The warband bounces between hobby talk, personal goals, and off-topic favorites before settling into a meaty discussion on Warhammer Underworlds itself.The conversation digs into game health, balance, accessibility versus expression, and whether second edition has delivered on its promises. Drawing on Worlds results, deck diversity, and their own experiences across multiple seasons, the crew debates what feels stronger, what feels flatter, and what they hope evolves next. It’s a relaxed but thoughtful start to the year that blends community voice with honest reflection on where the game stands and where it might be heading._________________________________________________Path to Glory is supported by our wonderful patrons on Patreon.

DECK THE HALLS WITH PATH TO GLORY as the crew puts a festive spin on competitive Warhammer Underworlds with a Secret Santa deckbuilding challenge. Instead of swapping gifts, the boys build decks and choose warbands for one another, aiming to strike the perfect balance between thoughtful, mischievous, and watchable. With no control over what they’re handed, each player must pilot a deck designed by someone else, complete with off-meta pairings, questionable synergies, and a few intentional curveballs. The episode walks through the reasoning behind each gift, the logic behind the deck choices, and the friendly torment baked into the rules, all while setting up upcoming Patreon games where the results will play out on the table.It’s a lighthearted, unpredictable holiday experiment that trades wrapping paper for rivals decks and turns Secret Santa into a Path to Glory tradition.Happy Holidays from the Path to Glory Team!_________________________________________________Path to Glory is supported by our wonderful patrons on Patreon.

The boys wraps up the year with a full retrospective on Warhammer Underworlds in 2025, tracing the game’s evolution from the dominance of Drom and the Reckless Fury era to the more balanced, diverse meta seen at Worlds. They revisit the impact of major nerfs, the rise and fall of key warbands, and why Blazing Pillage remained a reliable tournament staple across seasons. The conversation digs into the health of the current meta, the surge of viable warbands, and how new rivals decks like Deadly Synergy and Hunting Grounds changed the landscape. We also explore wish lists for 2026, from faction reworks and needed buffs to dream design directions for future rivals decks and warbands. It’s a reflective look at what shifted, what stabilized, and what still needs attention as Underworlds heads into a new year._________________________________________________Path to Glory is supported by our wonderful patrons on Patreon.

Jaroslaw “Nocturnis” Kwasniewski joins the show to break down his winning run at the World Championships of Warhammer. He walks through why he chose The Wurmspat, how Polish testing groups refined the deck, and what pushed him toward BARF (Blazing Assault & Reckless Fury) over other builds. Jaroslaw shares his toughest matchups, the surprises he faced in top cut, and the in-game decisions that carried him through tense elite-versus-elite battles. From early season doubts about The Wurmspat to mastering their passive scoring and three-fighter profile, this is a full look at the prep, mindset, and moment-to-moment play that led to his championship title.Congratulations to Jaroslaw for becoming the third World Champion of Warhammer Underworlds!_________________________________________________Path to Glory is supported by our wonderful patrons on Patreon.

Aggro with friends? George and Mark dive into Deadly Synergy, the plot deck from Spitewood that trades brute force for clever positioning and coordinated strikes. Built around the “United” and “Flanked” mechanics, this deck opens new lanes for warbands that thrive on tight movement, board control, and layered sequencing.They unpack the highs, the headscratchers, and the hidden gems, spotlighting combos that could reshape Nemesis builds from Hexbane’s Hunters to Brethren of the Bolt. If you’re looking to pair up and punch above your weight, this episode’s got the blueprints._________________________________________________Path to Glory is supported by our wonderful patrons on Patreon.

Can control be aggro? George and Mark crack into Hunting Grounds, the latest Rivals deck from Spitewood, where holding the line hits harder than charging in. Built for punishing overreach and flipping momentum from your own territory, this deck rewards patience, positioning, and perfectly timed payback.But can it rival (pun maybe intended) Blazing Assault or Pillage? If you’re chasing tempo, tricks, and territorial traps, this one’s a must-listen._________________________________________________⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our discord! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out the blog! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Facebook! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠World Championship of Warhammer Qualifiers Schedule⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Founded by: Aman Khusro & Jonathan DavisCast: George Athanail, Mark Breault, and Aman Khusro
The gang wades into the dense wilderness of Spitewood, reviewing everything from new terrain rules to the meta-shaking warbands inside.They start with Kurnoth’s Heralds: nimble protectors of Ghyran whose power lies in elegant positioning and momentum-based surges. Then it’s on to the Blood of the Bull, a chaos duardin warband fueled by Demon-forged Dice and brutal stats that redefine what’s possible in second edition.The duo also tackles Waystone and Aqua Ghyranis tokens, token placement shifts, and how this box might shake up aggro, control, and flex strategies alike.If you play Underworlds, this box should be on your radar, and so should this episode._________________________________________________⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our discord! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out the blog! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Facebook! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠World Championship of Warhammer Qualifiers Schedule⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Founded by: Aman Khusro & Jonathan DavisCast: George Athanail, Mark Breault, and Aman Khusro
Mark returns from the Nova Open with fresh bruises and battle wisdom, while George holds court from the commentary seat. This episode dives into Mark’s full tournament run: from early nerves to standout matchups, with plenty of discussion about meta trends, sneaky cards, and key decision points along the way.Together, they dissect the top-performing warbands, what surprised them (and what didn’t), and how their pre-event predictions held up once the dust settled. There’s plenty of laughter, salt, and deep cuts for the diehards.Whether you were in the room or following from afar, this one’s got the storytelling, strategy, and sharp insights that keep your finger on the pounding pulse of the Underworlds meta. _________________________________________________Path to Glory is supported by our wonderful patrons on Patreon.

This one’s a bit of a time capsule. Recorded just before Nova, we took a stab at where the meta might land heading into one of favorite events of the year. From punchy Rivals pairings to sleeper picks and bold banshee takes, we shared our expectations and our wild cards.Now that Nova’s come and gone, and the World Championships loom on the horizon, it’s a fun look at what we got right (and what we didn’t). Whether you're scouting the next shift or just in it for the banter, this one’s worth the listen._________________________________________________Path to Glory is supported by our wonderful patrons on Patreon.

The path to glory is not paved in gold: it is scorched, battered, and soaked in blood. In this episode, the warbands ascend into the A tier, where warriors fight with purpose, power, and precision. These are no mindless brutes or fleeting sparks; they are refined blades in the forge of battle.Each warband in this tier brings a unique identity, whether it's calculated aggression, relentless objective play, or disruptive trickery. While they may not sit atop the throne of dominance, they are proven threats, fully capable of toppling titans in the right hands.
