Ol' Scuttlebutt And The Three Kings

This week we dive into hobby progress, league prep, and some spicy new releases. From dialing in paint schemes (and fixing those “oops all green” moments) to pushing forward on bigger hobby projects like Star Wars Legion terrain and potential paint-along videos, there’s a lot in motion behind the scenes. We’re also locking in details for an upcoming Journeyman League, so keep your eyes peeled in early June for 30 point start date, along with relaxed vibes, and a great chance to grow the community. On the table side of talk, we’re breaking down some of the newest models like the Shadow Seraph and Ol' Scuttlebutt, talking through their wild mechanics, and theorycrafting how they’ll shake things up. Also, Chris joins mid conversation to touch on recent game testing, scenario play, and how positioning and turn order can make or break your match. Big things are coming, and we’re just getting started.

Chris and Angus return to collectively share our thoughts on the Lock & Load EU preview. Covering all the fun and nifty details from the Cryx Black Fleet reveal to the already leaked Scuttlebutt and of course Fortress King. From there we dive into the tactics of the Kithguard and wrap up the thoughts as Chris and I share our thoughts on some of the models and the ones that we're excited about with the new Aux box on the horizon.

Kithguard Rising: Part2 Solo Dive

Can you believe this is our 40th episode? We cant't. This one’s a little different. No roundtable, no back-and-forth. It's just me diving headfirst into the wild, brutal, and honestly awesome world of the Kithguard. I wrap up the lore deep dive, covering everything from jungle trolls and Mistborn dire trolls to absolute monsters like the Fortress King, and all the way down to the gritty, boots-on-the-ground units that make this force feel alive. There’s something special about how this army blends raw savagery with clever engineering like the chainsaw gauntlet of Chomper, mobile artillery beasts, tunnel ambush tactics. It’s all here, and it all tells a story. I also take some time to connect the dots between lore and rules, looking at how these characters and units actually feel on the table compared to the narrative behind them. Some hit perfectly, some raise an eyebrow, but overall? There’s a lot to be excited about. If you’re a Trollblood player, a Kithguard fan, or just someone who loves when lore and gameplay collide in super cool and fun ways, this episode is for you. Chris and Angus will be back next episode, and we’ll hit the tactics hard. But for now, kick back and enjoy the ride through one of the more flavorful forces in the Caen. Jump into the conversation, let me know what you think, and as always, remember, we’re Not Just Tactics.

Kithguard Rising: Part 1

We're back and diving into hobby wins, battlefield stories, and a deep lore exploration of the Kithguard. Angus shares the saga of restoring a secondhand pirate boat model (complete with mystery primer meltdown), while Chris recaps a tough but fun tournament run filled with wild matchups, brutal dice, and colossal-heavy lists. The crew talks hobby progress, painting crunch, and teaching newer players before shifting into a rich breakdown of Trollkin history, from ancient origins and the rise of Madrak Ironhide to the migration to the southern continent of Alchiere. The episode wraps with the formation of the Kithguard and spotlight lore on key leaders like General Gunnbjorn, Stormcraw, and others, setting the stage for a deeper tactical dive in the next episode.
