Episode 143 - Legion of the Damned, yeah turns out they were a little over the top.
On today’s cast we take a trip into the Legion of the Damned. A super fun and exciting space marine faction that got their own codex in 6th edition, and then promptly were removed from the game due to being horribly OP. We go over what they are, how they function in the galaxy and what is kind of known about them. We then review the three main theories on their origin with a little bit of us theorizing about what we believe them to be.

Bonus Episode - Our Takes on 11th Edition
Brad and John Discuss the Launch of 11th Edition with their excitement and reservations about some rule changes and updates to the game. Big thank you to other people for having GW give them advanced copies of the rules and then publishing them, because we sure as hell were not on that list of advanced copies...
