Episode 40.5 - Kainan‘s Reapers Universals and Silent Menace Card Pack Review

The Battle for Salvation: Warhammer Underworlds Podcast is back again with a super-sized supplemental episode.  Here, Max and Randall share their thoughts about the Universals from the Kainan's Reapers expansion and the Silent Menace Card Pack.  

Episode 40 - Let‘s see who these skeleton men really are! w/Derek Traquiar

Update - 9/7/2021 11:26 EST - The wrong file was uploaded!  If you didn't get the theme song over the opening of the episode, you have the raw file, which has a lot of extraneous talking as well as far too many "Ums".  I have uploaded the cut version now.  Sorry for the error!

 

Old Man Traquiar returns to the program to discuss the Kainan's Reapers faction.  Boners in-bound!  We discuss the fighters, Bro-tek strategies, Tit-the counters, how to play them Bro-fessionally, how to make good use of the Bro-jectives, and more.  Enjoy, Bro.

Episode 37.5 - Here Lies Mollog (June 2021 FAR Update and Starblood Stalkers Universal Card Review)

Hi everyone, We have another of our supplemental episodes for the Direchasm-season factions, this time covering the universal cards from the Starblood Stalkers expansion.  However, as we were preparing for the episode, The new FARt list and errata was dropped so Max and Randal had a good reason to talk about something current!  Click the link to hear our thoughts.

Episode 37 - ❤️ I Love You, Slann ❤️ w/John Wynne Rees

To delve deeply enough into the Starblood Stalkers we have on the program CritMaster Supreme, John Wynne Rees.  We discuss the faction, the faction specific cards, and how to play them in the current meta.  Why can't Randall pronounce "Lords of Space and Time" correctly?  It's a mystery.
