AOWdu 211.1 Imperial Agents Codex Review
Greetings Soup enjoyers. Games Workshop threw us a curveball by making Imperial Soup it's very own Codex, in a very strange way. This is a pretty dang unique book that has some really really bad portions that don't really make sense by todays measuring sticks, but also some shining jewels and spicy that i think will take many by surprise!I am joined by Jeremy Martino of Team Australia for the review, as he promised. It's a very good time and we really do take our time, getting 2 hours of hardcore review content from what many believed to be a hollow book.Hope you love it!
