Lorebeards

Hot damn it has been a minute! After long Christmas holidays, medical issues, and other concerns Lorebeards has finally returned! And we're back in style with a nearly 2 hour full episode covering the classics of Who Would Win and Tale of Two Gamers, we also have a lot of TWW3 to discuss! So let's get into it!

After an incredible journey to Scotland and various misadventures, Nathan and I have finally reunited for a new episode of Lorebeards! After a MONTH of being absent, obviously a lot has happened so there's much catching up to do! First off we briefly touch on what we were up to over November followed by checking out the Tale of Two Gamers entries on Twitter! We'll do Discord posts next time. Then we discuss a Who Would Win of Skarbrand the Exiled versus Kholek Suneater! Once that debate is out of the way we spend a healthy amount of time checking out all of the Total War Warhammer news we missed mainly focused on the Ogre Kingdoms, Nurgle, and Slaanesh. Finally with that done we spend a small amount of time on Tabletop news before wrapping up. See you next week!

In this week's more chill episode of Lorebeards, Nathan and I after a brief intro dive right into the MASSIVE amount of Tale of Two Gamers submissions that we received over the prior few weeks. And I mean MASSIVE! After all of that is finished we discuss our Who Would Win? Once the grand duel is resolved we get into talking about the Tzeentch roster reveal as well as other Total War Warhammer related news before finishing with Games Workshop news. Then of course the outro, keep in mind we're on break for about two weeks! See you when we get back!

For our first double digit episode of Lorebeards, Nathan and I are joined by none other than the God of Cheese himself, LegendofTotalWar! After getting our Who Would Win for this week out of the way, we spend the vast majority of the episode discussing the new mechanics revealed for Tzeentch, Kislev, and Grand Cathay! Opinions fly around the room as we talk about that and our thoughts on Total War Warhammer 3.

On this EXTREMELY special episode of Lorebeards, Nathan and I are joined by a very special and legendary guest! Be sure to tune in for this rare episode where we deep dive into all that is Cathay, in ways that you've never seen before!

For this week's episode of Lorebeards, Nathan and I start by concluding the unit version of a Tale of Two Gamers, next time will be Monsters/monstrous units! After that we dive into discussing our thoughts on the Cathay Roster Reveal followed by the announcements about the Dogs of War from Cubicle 7. From there we Segway into discussing the recent Border Princes map released by Games Workshop before directing our attention to this week's Who Would Win of Emperor Karl Franz vs. Eltharion the Grim! Finally we give a special announcement for the next episode of Lorebeards which will be out soon!

A more relaxed week as it's just Nathan (Great Book of Grudges) and myself this time. Turns out we both goofed our scheduling and weren't ready to show off units for Tale of Two Gamers so there's a week extension, but we do look at quite a few submissions from fans! After that we dive into discussing Tzeentch in Total War Warhammer 3 along with some more general Chaos things. Following this is another Who Would Win segment featuring the Fay Enchantress of Bretonnia versus the Grand Theongonist Volkmar the Grim. After that we return to Total War Warhammer 3 to discuss our hopes and thoughts on the upcoming Great Bastion battle system which leads into a long discussion about the current controversies surrounding Total War Warhammer 3.

This time on Lorebeards we finally take a bit of a breather from the Cathay Hype Train to discuss other matters in the hobby world! With our sultry-voiced guest Baldermort, Nathan and I work our way through a myriad of subjects. Starting with introductions and update on Tale of Two Gamers, we then head into talking about the Ogre Kingdoms and what we're hoping to see from them in Total War Warhammer. After that it's time for another Who Would Win showdown featuring Morghur the Shadowgave vs. Throgg the Troll King! With that matchup behind us, the discussion turns to the bizarreness that was Warhammer 40k cameos in The End Times of Warhammer Fantasy. Eventually we manage to alter course from that mess and talk about some thoughts revolving around how Fantasy races might interact with the 40k universe if they suddenly found themselves within it. Lastly we spend a good deal of time talking about how the Warhammer 40k hobby is doing these days and what exciting or concerning things might be on the horizon along with Warhammer: The Old World. Please enjoy!

This week we're joined by Ruo Yu Chen, an extremely skilled artist with an impressive resume and who sports an excellent amount of knowledge about the legends and myths which inspired Cathay! First off there's an update to the Tale of Two Gamers, showing off our painted Heroes and checking out entries from the community. After that we dive into this week's Who Would Win featuring Kairos Fateweaver against Lord Mazdammundi.
