Best episodes of Heralds of War - An Australian Gaming & Hobby Podcast

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

210 - We Played Games and Stuff!

A relaxed return built around hobby drift, Stormvault basing, and foam-tray logistics.

Heralds of War returns after a 12-month break with an easygoing tone, as Clint and Travis spend much of the run settling into a long catch-up before the talk tightens around hobby progress.

212 - Travis's Long Distance Cross-Cultural Warhammer Exchange Experience

A loose hobby chat where Moomaks, trolls, and rules clarifications carry the episode.

Heralds of War opens with a week-in-review catch-up, slips into a furniture-and-exhaustion detour, and then settles into a Middle-earth doubles match built around Moomaks, trolls, and list constraints that leave tabletop players sounding pleased and slightly unwell.

213 - Clint's Mumak Gets The Bad Touch

Rainy banter, print errors, and the new Dark Fantastic Mills Kickstarter files.

Clint and Travis keep this firmly in hobby-chat territory. The pace is loose at first, with banter and rainy weather taking up room before the talk turns to the prototype files for the new Dark Fantastic Mills Kickstarter.

211 - Hobby Update

Deadline pressure turns a hobby catch-up into something very relatable.

Episode 211 stays in hobby-catch-up mode, with Clint and Twinkle Toes talking through half-painted armies, flying with models, and the pressure that shows up once an event stops being theoretical.

214 - GW's Best and Worst of 2023

A loose, friendly year-end tour through Warhammer models, paint time, and hobby opinion.

Heralds of War turns its 2023 Christmas episode into a relaxed year-end look at hobby ranking, with Clint and Travis talking from an Australian summer while the heat, shed painting, and model work keep pulling the conversation in different directions.
