Well, 2025 is almost in the bag and like many other folks, Roma and I took the time to reflect on an amazing year. It was such a packed year that we couldn’t fit our musings into 30 minutes so we hope you can hang in there for the extended remix. 2026 is already looking like it’s going to be more events, more hobby, and MOAR friends. Talk to you all next year, love, The Dudes.

Well, Santa is probably putting the finishing touches on loading his sleigh, and before things really get wild, we thought we would record a quick episode. The Everwinter Nights League has wrapped up and Roma and I talk about our different perspectives. We chat a bit about the Nurgle leaks as well as plans for spring 2026. We will have a year end wrap up for our next episode.

Roma completely outplayed me yet again and cleverly got the last work in tonight’s podcast. I also need to recognize we are releasing a little slower than normal, but we both have a ton going on recently and it’s tough even for us the find an hour to sit down and record. Anyways, what we really talk about is picking targets. How do you know who to fight and with what? Please enjoy.

It continues to be very busy in the Dudes house, but I managed to get 4 games in since our last recording and lock in a new sponsorship deal with the one, the only, Dark Fantastic Mills. We interviewed Gary back in the summer of 2024 and you can of course go back and listen to that episode to familiarize yourself with how wonderful Gary is. Once you’ve done that, you can come back and listen to this episode where I talk about how Skarbrand doesn’t live up to the hype.

It’s a busy time of year for the Dudes, but we finally got around to sitting down to record. Recent games, upcoming tournaments, and a very special birthday all get covered in this episode. That, and a spicy chat about brush care.

Well, it took longer than we had hoped, and you can tell from the beginning that it’s not as easy as it seems to knock out quality entertainment, but we did it. Damen goes off on how excited he is about the new nurgle, and we are reminded to always, always read the battle plan start to finish.

Well, we had so many folks participating in the ‘name my goblin contest, it was very hard to pick a winner. In the end however, there can only be one, and a name was picked. We also pondered a couple new segment ideas and mused over the mysteries of social media algorithms.

Today I talk about what it’s like trying to run a league whilst experiencing constant bullying from one of the league participants (Roma). We announce the winner of the round two list naming and generally get caught up on what’s going on in our AoS lives.

Roma and I discuss the pros and cons of marking rubrics for competitions, and we ponder the age old question of whether or not there is ever a good time to take your foot off the gas in a game.

The start of the Everwinter Nights league is upon us and it’s tradition to look at list names. There were some gems and some rocks, but one shone bright enough to be picked the winner. Also talk about how nasty a certain Iron Jaw army of renown is. Please enjoy.

It never fails to surprise me how much stuff there is to talk about. Roma is already locked in on False Alarm, we’ve got new nurgle on the horizon, plus the Everwinter Nights League. And then some random thoughts.

Roma can’t wait to talk about my inner goblin, her speedy games, or her new contest idea. Oh, we have a shiny new intro too.

We have been meeting to talk about the points changes all week, and we finally got time to sit down and chat about the points. It was a little longer than normal, and we don’t cover everything, but as usual, we hit he highlights, throw in our two cents, and reflect on how these changes have impacted our first couple games.

No cliffhangers here, we jump right back into sharing the second half of the weekend and discuss some of our big take aways. Use tokens. That’s basically it.

Well, we are back from the 5 Alarm GT, and I can say with utter certainty, that you will never find a more wretched hive…wait, wrong reference. You will never find a more wonderful group of AoS gamers able and willing to curb stomp you, all the while winning your favourite player of the event. I sat this one out out but still had a great time, while Roma learned that a GT is not the first place you want to encounter a chess clock.

5 Alarm GT is just a few days away now and we go over our preparations for the event and look at a faction breakdown of the lists registered at the event.

The thing is when you podcast with your wife, any time you get a stray thought, you can record. Tonight we talk about borrow hammer and whether or not we believe all the juicy rumours floating about the internet right now.

We wrap up the coverage of the Northern Wastes GT, offer some reflections, and start planning for the next event. And note, in fact obscuring objectives are the whole control area. We found the other rule once we published. 

You just can’t cover something as epic as the Northern Wastes GT in a single episode, and in fact, we probably should have split this in half but here it is. From savage beats in the pre tourney warm up to wondering if there is a daddy kink out there somewhere, we covering the highs and the lows of this year’s event. I lied, there were no lows, if was all just bloody amazing. You should probably think about coming next year. You really should.

The last episode generated a little good natured ribbing, so we felt we needed to reply. I think the Dudes have a new content producing nemesis. Saga of Dice, we are coming for you!
