Episode 69 - GW Rules Oopsies - When lore and tabletop rules dont mix Jan 14, 2025

Show notes

On today’s cast we are doing a John special. This cast is a dive into some our favorite broken rules of the game over the past 20+ years. A fun trip down memory lane, some of those memories are little bad for some players. We open with explaining Rules As Written and how that sets up some of these funny interactions. After that we dive head first into some glorious things like: no pre-measuring, guess weapons, custom vehicles, instant death, grey knight and Eldar daemon summoning, invisibility, impossible combat due to base to base rules, and more. We hope you find this fun and funny as we did.
