Scott is back to go over literally everything that happened in Warhammer Fantasy in 2023. We've visited 3 of the 4 constituent nations of the UK and traveled all over the country for Warhammer Fantasy Tournaments, so here's what we thought of them all. Additionally we have a look at what hobby progress we've made over the year and speculate about what might happen in the future...

Charlie comes back for some even looser Warhammer. We have no script or topic, so prepare for a rambling conversation about the new Warhammer Website, The Old World, Tournaments, Wood Elves, Magic, Wood Elves again and plans for the future.
