Agents of Sigmar

In this episode Pete and Robin discuss all things Games Workshop. Looking at the Gnarlwood announcement and the new Nemesis format for Warhammer Underworlds. We also chat about the League of Votann apology and game balance before finally moving on to the amazing contest that is the Golden Demon Award 2022.

In this episode, as well as covering all the latest news from Agents HQ - Such as our marathon game of Moonstone, we're talking about Games Workshop's Small Box Games.Could the company make more out of them? They seem very popular amongst casual players, but GW seems to take a fire-and-forget approach with them. Are we asking too much of GW, after all, what after-purchase support do standard boardgames usually get? This was one of biggest live audiences, so do check it out and join the fun!

As well as all the latest Agents and gaming news in this week's episode we discuss an article from September's Tabletop Gaming Live. Ben Maddox wrote about "Stuff." Is it time for games to slim down? Can the Kickstarter model of towering boxes of plastic be sustained?

A relaxed episode this week, as Robin recovers from Covid and the summer slow-down means there's not much gaming going on. We look at new releases, our plans for the coming weeks, and ask why do people get so stressed about the "Lore?"Warhammer, Star Wars, Marvel or Tolkien. The Lore ever shifts so that companies can make money (Don't get Robin started on Winnie the Pooh) yet some people are convinced it should be set in stone.

There have been a number of videos doing the rounds lately about whether the sheer size of Warhammer is bad for the hobby and bad for content creators. Pete and Robin give their thoughts on the matter, whilst also rounding up the latest news of shiny models and games that have caught their eye.

For Episode 7 of the Agents Podcast we start with our usual rundown of all the latest Agents news and take a look at the recent GW announcements at their Summer Skirmish event. After that we move on to our experiences of 90s classic Battlemasters, and ask should the Agents try to update it for the 2020s?We also announce the first ever AgentsCon.
