    As a whole concept. Gotta think there are actual adults that deserve the support more than these bums.

  • Early on, it’s promising but needs improvement

    Recently started listening to them from episode 1. It’s promising. Definitely entertaining if you’re a Warhammer 40K fan. But, at least early on, they miss a lot and they make some stuff up. They even say they didn’t do any research during some episodes.

    They mispronounce “Waaagh!” by pronouncing the G at the end and it hurts my ears. It’s pronounced “Wah!”

    There’s plenty of material to show improvement, and it probably will, but it could be better.

    I’ll update as I burn through their bac... more

  • From a grey hair

    Found the podcast six months ago. Started from episode one, I made it to 100 only to discover Eric is gone. Totally bummed out, he was the glue and an awesome orator. I just can’t like what’s happening after 100. The magic is gone.

  • Nah

    Used to listen to on another platform. Started out good enough, long episodes exploring lots of details. Even if they had a hard time reading on air. Then it eventually fell apart with lots of giggly incel energy. Yes Ads are annoying but can be tolerated if the show didn’t devolve into a group of friends ranting and complaining.
