Forces of Fantasy

The forces of Chaos unleash their worst! Tremble before such names as Demonnet, Mite and Homonculus! 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!   Want to get in touch?

What if you don’t want to play regular Warhammer? Then there’s the Warhammer Fantasy Role Playing game! 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. But for all the rest of you, here’s a new episode full of Vikings, Ogre on Chaos Dwarf carnage (with some added Fanatics and a robot, because, why not?) and if you’re quick some new Chaos Made to Order miniatures.   #warhammer #warhammertheoldworld #gamesworkshop #warhammerfantasy #oldhammer   !!

Warhammer takes to the seas in this White Dwarf 82 article with "simple" (and notoriously incomplete) rules for sailing ships. 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.   In sadder news, we learn that beloved White Dwarf editor Paul Sawyer has fallen terminally ill. His family have set up a GoFundMe to make Paul's final months as comfortable as possible: https://www.gofundme.com/f/make-dads-remaining-months-happy-comfortable?utm_campaign=fp_ss_icons_ai&utm_content=amp9v1&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link. If you're the praying type, I encourage you to say a prayer for Paul and his family.   #warhammer #warhammertheoldworld #gamesworkshop #warhammerfantasy #oldhammer   !!

There's a lot to unpack in White Dwarf 81, which is exactly what we're going to do in this episode. Well, after grumpy old GJ ranting on about new miniatures and how the pacing of GW is too fast and how franchises used to be better in the past, that is. #warhammer #warhammertheoldworld #gamesworkshop #warhammerfantasy #oldhammer   !!

What do you do when you learn about the existence of your evil kin? You gather all troops you can find and march to war! 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.

Guess 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!   #warhammer #warhammertheoldworld #gamesworkshop #warhammerfantasy #oldhammer   !!

For 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.   Links to the articles discussed:   Made to Order (sorry, too late): https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/01/27/saturday-pre-orders-made-to-order-in-the-world-of-legend/ TOW Legacy Factions pdfs: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/01/22/old-world-almanack-download-the-legacy-pdfs-here/ Citadel Journal Spring '86 on Stuff of Legends: http://www.solegends.com/citcat198603cja/index.htm   #warhammer #warhammertheoldworld #gamesworkshop #warhammerfantasy #oldhammer     Want to get in touch?

Visit Frugelhofen, they said. See the lovely mountain, they said. Walk over to the Bogels' dairy farm, they said. 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...   Links to the articles: RIP Bryan Ansell: https://awesomeliesblog.wordpress.com/2024/01/01/in-memoriam-bryan-ansell/ Old World discussion videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mIpkrxFRCQ&ab_channel=ForcesofFantasy and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs0AqOFPmjM&ab_channel=ForcesofFantasy.

A 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).

Did you sing the episode title? If so, I won't apologize for that earworm. 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 of the Chaos god Malal. What, never heard of him? Well, can't blame you. There's a reason, as you will hear.   Links to the articles discussed:   Lords of the Lance book preview: https://www.fnac.com/livre-numerique/a19279544/Graham-McNeill-Lords-Of-The-Lance Old World Almanack Grail Knights: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/12/11/old-world-almanack-living-saints-and-special-rules/ (and of course my YT review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkwXynZavno).

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). #warhammer #warhammertheoldworld #gamesworkshop #warhammerfantasy #oldhammer Links to the articles mentioned: Old World Almanack on Magic: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/12/04/old-world-almanack-how-magic-brings-a-sparkle-to-the-battlefield/ (and YouTube review of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr_bYwid3xQ).

Remember 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.   Links to the articles and other stuff discussed: Warhammer: the Old World rules update for morale and psychology: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/11/27/old-world-almanack-get-in-the-right-headspace-for-morale-and-psychology/ (and here's my video review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wnW2jEV-h8&ab_channel=ForcesofFantasy) Rambling Longbeard's Skaven article: https://medium.com/@eric.seri/skaven-troops-warhammer-unit-chronicles-757a2f46e2a5 First Quest AD&D album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9sfnTGm5a8&list=PLQvpV19JTqp6DHw_zhVBeFn9f5Pw1xf-3&index=1&ab_channel=AlanPeschke Second Citadel Journal on Stuff of Legends: http://solegends.com/citcat198509cjb/index.htm     #warhammer #warhammertheoldworld #gamesworkshop #warhammerfantasy #oldhammer     Want to get in touch?

What do you do when you are a disgraced Orc? Kill the king and take over the land, of course! 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!

Look out! We’re being ambushed! With 2nd edition goodness, that is!

It's time to take a look at the Citadel Journal Spring 1985. 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. And we get the rules for a very special and elusive monster that once haunted the Citadel headquarters in Nottingham...   Here's the link to the Old World article, and my YouTube review: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/10/30/old-world-almanack-your-first-look-at-the-rules/?fbclid=IwAR0n6uAtPRwU_IM8dHnWv3cXP-hCLhqgheE5bbw52E5K7CxBbVT8ci7xreU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ00ZDdOslU   Want to get in touch?

What do you get when you combine a tabletop fantasy game with a classic western movie? The Magnificent Sven, of course! 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 a dining table fit for an orphanage, multiple friends, lots of time and a few hundred miniatures.  The articles discussed in the news section: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/10/23/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-battleforces-four-incredible-boxed-sets-for-the-festive-season/ https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/10/22/sunday-preview-the-cities-of-sigmar-muster/  Here you can find the full theme song for The Magnificent Seven (well worth a listen!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XDB7GMnbUQ&ab_channel=ADProductionsLtd  And here's the movie itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MZY_0tYmrs&ab_channel=StarEntertainmentEnglish   And of course all the usual links: www.forcesoffantasy.com https://forcesoffantasy.podbean.com/ E: forcesoffantasy [at] gmail [dot] com Subscribe to the YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@forcesoffantasy.

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!
