In our first Chaos Dwarf episode we take a look at the 3 flavours of chaos dwarfs that have graced The Dark Lands and have plagued the warhammer worldWe take a look at their evolution as a faction from the ‘Chaos Warrior’ Dwarfs of 3rd edition to the Babylonian aesthetic of 4th edition to the almost uruk-hai industrial warriors of 8th edition. And of course we discussed the startlingly large hats! We then take a bit of a tour around the Dark Lands as we take in the sights and sounds of Zorn Uzkul. Making our way down the River of Ruin to the slave pens and factories of Zharr-Naggrund we cover the blasted wastes and deserts around the dreaded City, home to the nomadic Hobgoblins before looking at the realms of the Black Tower, the militaristic settlement that controls much of the southern Dark Lands.

In our final Bretonnian episode we take a look at the tabletop forces of the land of the Lady. We start with the 3rd edition army list which focused on replicating the real-world forces of medieval France. With the advent of 5th edition we start to see the “refined” list of Bretonnian troops and we launch into the ignoble and not so ignoble infantry the faction can field from Grail pilgrims to men-at-arms together with the newly-minted foot knights. We then turn our gaze to the mighty cavalry units and their unique land formation. Pausing briefly to once again mock the lance as a reliable weapon we then turn our faces to the skies to see the Pegasus Knights. Stepping around the field trebuchets we then run down the characters and named characters available to lead the army. We close out the episode with the gift of bretonnian titles from ol’ Louie Lionheart himself.

In our penultimate Bretonnian episode, we look at the Royal heroes of the kingdom, beginning with the king. We follow the journey or Leuon Leoncouer from his early quests and combats to his “failed” grail quest and his efforts to kill a necromancer and his brief sojourn into the divine court of the Lady of the Lake herself. After drinking a suspiciously yellow liquid from the Lady’s hands he mercs the necromancer and, as a grail Knight, he secures his ascension to the throne. We have a brief examination of The Green Knight, mystical champion of the Lady with a quite familiar battle style. We close out the episode with the Black Knight, Mallobaude of Mousillon, a disenchanted grail knight and bastard son of the King, who may know the truth behind the kingdom he swore to defend.

In this episode we turn our attention to the dark reflection of Bretonnian nobility, not chaos but the forces of Undeath!. We return to the tale of Merovech d'Mousillon who has risen from his mausoleum to find it ruled by a Varghulf. We track his progress as he seeks out worthy companions and ultimately sets the brothers Garamont against each other and seals not only his fate but that of a renewed Bretonnia. We then take a look at the tale of the Red Duke. Picking up from the tail end of the crusade against Araby we find the Duke betrayed by his own dukedom of Aquitaine. He returns home after the vampire blood in his veins erases the poison of his betrayal. Finding his Wife dead and his throne usurped. He wages a blood thirsty war to retake his right but is imprisoned… with hilarious consequences.

This time around we take a look at the heroines of Bretonnian the magical Damsels and Prophetesses of the grail and a rare female knight of the realm and Duchess. We start with a dive into the magical children of Bretonnia and how there are found, trained and their place in society, we then have a chat about a specific example of this with Élisse Duchaard, the prophetess of Brinne and her place in the world as the apprentice of the Fey Enchantress. Speaking of the Fey Enchantress we take a gander at the high priestess of the Lay, her operations in Bretonnia together with her seemingly iron fisted approach to the nobility. We close out the episode with a look at the other extreme of heroines with the Bretonnian Joan of Arc, Repanse de Lyonesse

Thirsty? Well you are in luck as this episode deals with the Grail Knights! We start by exploring the roles the Grail Knights have in Bretonnian culture and the Virtues they can manifest, each based on one of the 14 madlads who unified the country. Amalric of Gaudaron is our first example of what it means to be a Grail Knight, Renowned as the Bane of the Undead. We delve into the deeds of Bohemond Beastslayer, an amazing knight and terrible judge of character. The Hermit of Malmont, slayer of dragons with monotonous regularly is up next, out of his mind on dragon-wine. We close out the episode with the tale of Sir Berenger Vaillancourt, a grail knight whose shrine was desecrated leading to his quest for vengeance gaining the attention of a certain God of Chaos…

We start with a mysterious mystery of the Herrimaults (Eh-ree-Mau) which Cral gets straight away and Dar loses his temper. We explore what it takes to become a Hairy-Mole and what their day to day life is like, their relations with other peasants and their local nobility their Leaders are desperate to hold to account. We turn to the tale of perhaps the most famous of their number, Bertrand the Brigand of Bergerac, and how he is not a total rip off of Robin Hood. We close out the episode by looking at the other extreme of the peasant/noble interaction. The Fanatics that are the raucous murderous Grail Pilgrims, Serf’s who worship Grail Knights to the point that they may kill them and wear their trappings and bones to bring the favour of the Lady.

We start this episode, eventually, with the return of the Skaven and the devastation the Red Pox has on the peasants and nobles alike. We turn our attention to the Affair of the False Grail and what exactly can go wrong when you claim to be a king, The Siege of Couronne sees the first strong alliance between the Bretonnians and the Elves of Ulthuan. The Dark elves take umbrage at this, attacking first at the command of the Witch King and a second time, The Crusade of Blood, when the witch Elves cut through Bretonnia and their way south. We close out the episode with a look at The Year of Woe where The forces of Tzeentch try their best to claim the treasures of Gille and the Grail Companions from the very founding of the country.
