Goonhammer Historicals Review: Et Sans Resultat! Series 3

We love Napoleonics. Who doesn't? Over here at the Goonhammer star fort, we usually play our Napoleonics in semi-skirmish settings, at most using a couple of battalions of foot and squadrons of cavalry. Perhaps you want something bigger. Something grander. Something that will let you refight the largest battles of the era, with whole divisions, whole corps of soldiers clashing over miles and miles of battlefield. If you're thinking that, you're in luck - because so is Et Sans...

Competitive Innovations in 10th: Shake it all About pt.1

The Balance Dataslate is now fully operational, bringing us a novelty for 10th Edition - not a single Aeldari list winning a tournament. Big tick right out the gate there. The nefarious elves are far from harmless even in their partially de-fanged state, but it certainly seems like other factions (particularly Space Marines) are now much better able to take a shot at them. That's great news for the game, and means we can all get properly hyped up for the big events that are hurtling towards us in...

In case you missed that instalment (where I cover my hobby progress and list-building) you can find it here. Hobby Catch-Up Most of my hobby has been directed by my kids. I've spent the past 18 months in therapy to be able to say "I don't want to paint plastic spiders" instead of "I should paint these plastic spiders". Ladies and Gentlemen,...

Hi everyone! This week, we wanted to take a break from our regular magic coverage to talk about something many new players ask when it comes to Commander: "Where do I even start?" The intention of this guide is to act as educated suggestions to those looking to get into the wonderful game of Magic via the Commander format: currently, Magic's most popular way to play.

SRM’s Roundabout to NOVA 2023: Sweaty [Competitive] and Sweaty [Very Warm]

Hello again, I guess it really hasn't been too long since I wrote one of these, has it? For the uninitiated, this is like a Road To... series of articles, but all at once, with a joke name only I think is funny. Savvy? That's a little Pirates of the Caribbean reference for all you Deppth-Charges out there. This is my 5th time attending NOVA, the birthplace of my podcast, The 40k Badcast. Sometimes when a couple middling white dudes hang around a table, they say "we should start a podcast." Sometimes, they might even record an episode or two....
