The fellas are back to tackle the latest wave of releases and spoilers with some hands-on experience to supplement their hot takes. They then dive into the differences between playing as the attacker and defender, including what you should be trying to accomplish and what you should be trying to avoid. Lastly they tackle some listener questions on dark horse lists, their favourite parts of Steamroller and how to manage "the chase" in the context of Warmachine.
The boys are back and dive right into the recent spate of high profile releases, including gameplay discussions around Bandit as well as the Constance Blaize & Gallant pair, while also noting that the Swarm Warden was also released. They then pick up a recent discussion regarding the current over-representation of Warlock-lead armies in the competitive scene, with some ideas about why this is happening and what can be done to put things on a more event footing.
