  • Disappointed

    Frankly instead of talking about Warhammer the authors are pushing a political agenda…

  • A lovely pair of gentlemen

    Absolutely love this podcast. Even when I’m not in the mood for Warhammer, I will put these guys on and just listen. Been listening to them since the beginning and appreciate the growth not only in the podcast but in Dan and Campbell.

  • Best 40k podcast by a long shot. Best audio quality. Open minded caring and full of love for lgbtq+ and adjacent communities, which is refreshing in this space. Best stupid sandwich yarns, and generally the best.

Q: What roles would you guys like to play within the Astro-Militarium Imperial Service Corps, and how would you work logistics into the tabletop game?

They agree that such elements could work well in narrative campaigns but may not fit into matched play.
