This week on Dark Guidance we join Chris, Brian, Errien and Brad as we meander through the WTC. We discuss the role of legacy factions going forward (including ones that should disappear from existence with minimal fuss, like Skorne, and ones that are treasured and should be preserved. Like Stone Skorne), how the each of the prime factions appear to be doing, discuss why Dusk has the highest ranking of any faction on Glass Door and publicly wonder aloud why there are 119 Big Pigs on the wall and how only 75.5% of lists at the WTC contain the ever mandatory Blessing of the Gods. Enjoy
This week on Dark Guidance, we join Chris, Brian and Errien as we recover
from our various Real Life Mishaps to bring a podcast welcoming our new
Steamforged Overlords and go into on how to survive in our turbulent
modern world. Specifically involving how to survive getting shot in the
face by lists that may or may not feature cybernetically enhanced pigs
with chain guns. We discuss how YOU TOO can become a part of the problem and Carver Ultimus’ ever growing empire and spend entirely too much talking about Sharknado and Brinebloods in general. Apologies and Enjoy!
This week on Dark Guidance we join Chris, Brian, Errien and Robin as they jump into the crazy new steamroller, SR2024. Join us for hot takes, off the cuff analysis, actual real experience with the TO of the world’s First* SR2024 tournament organiser, predictions for how many times people will forget that Wolves at Our Heels has a shrinking killbox or listen to the muffled rage of Robin’s hatred of all things asymmetrical. Enjoy!
This week on Dark Guidance we bring to you the latest in podcasts that are 2 months old, as Chris, Brian and Errien talk about the WTC. We go in depth into the latest news (from 2 months ago), go through the top 4 teams of the WTC, share our opinions and sweet hot takes that are now thoroughly cool from being left out too long, and bring this all to you in a package that, hopefully, won’t be completely obsoleted in a month’s time by whatever January’s update brings to the table. Enjoy
This week on Dark Guidance we join Chris, Brian, Errien and Robin as we
delve into the alternative play style of Warmachine to punching your
opponent in the face: getting punched in the face before Suplexing them.
IE: the beta strike or counter punch. Join us as we examine some of the
models and lists that enable this playstyle, talk about more ways to
abuse powder kegs, spend entirely too much time talking about Stony
Skorne Men and gush an inordinate amount on Magnus 4 and his Big Beta
Bro Invictus, both model wise, thresher wise and flame throwing mutton
chops wise. Enjoy!
This week on Dark Guidance, the crew is back with special guest Robin, captain of the winning OTC team, to talk to you about all the fun and new legacy armies that have been released since our last episode. And boy have there been many. Expect many hot takes and much gushing about Exulon Thexus. […]
On this episode of Dark Guidance we join Chris, Brian and Errien as we talk about Character Jacks, fluff we seem to be taking an interest in and units. ALL THE UNITS.
We go into what we think makes good units, bad units, unit types that see play, how we rate them and what we feel is in common between the Hellmouth, the Winter Corps Snipers and the Mad Caps. Namely that they’re all, if you squint hard enough, artillery pieces. Enjoy.
This week on Dark Guidance we join Chris, Brian & Errien as they gush on lovingly about Starfish with Guns, Void Engines that make Spooky Ghosts and talk about the subject of trying not to lose immediately when you fail the all important Go First Roll and some dude named Anson jams you with like a bajillion Storm Guard. We cover the different flavours this scenario push can take, nature of the scenarios in this, the little tricks and traps from old editions that helped us solve this problem in ages past, speculate on how the new defences change this around and repeatedly call Mr. Wolfe by the wrong surname multiple times. Enjoy!
This week on Dark Guidance, Chris, Brian and Errien take a look at the legacy armies of Warmachine and what we feel makes a strong legacy army in the brave new world of MK4. We tackle the strengths of the new factions and how best we feel the old ones can beat the new shiny using underhanded tactics, undercosted heavies, Riot Quest models and how they can achieve success by trying to emulate the power of the most powerful of all factions, which pains our hearts to say it but it is Cygnar. Enjoy.
This week on Dark Guidance we join Chris, Brian and Errien , fresh from actually playing games of MK4, as they take a dive into the nitty gritty of the changes of the new edition. Join us as we delve into the practical effects of the changes to movement rules and other edition changes, the culture shock of old edition vs new, the power of the Synergy Knight Guardian with Vyros or Baron Tonguelick with Manifest Destiny and the fact that we are clearly in the darkest of timelines as Cygnar have competent, well designed Melee Infantry AND Warjacks. Enjoy!
And while you’re enjoying some completely factually accurate insight into MK4 Warmachine, we’d recommend if you’re in Europe looking at putting it into practice at the Belgium Masters XXXL this February. Link below

This week on Dark Guidance we join Chris, Brian and Tom as they dive into the beginnings of mega, scary and awesome game-wide dynamic update, scheduled for next month.

After a long hiatus due to IRL nonsense, including thankfully a chance to play some weird physical version of Wartable where you actually move the miniatures around using your hands instead of just a mouse, Dark Guidance is back. To kick us off, this week Chris, Brian and Tom delve into some of the mysterious […]
This week on Dark Guidance we have Chris, Brian, Tom & Jack all share their thoughts about the November dynamic update and evaluate the appropriate spice level of the changes, including both nerfs and battle box caster changes.

This week on the podcast bros Brian, Tom, and Chris discuss the Trollbloods and how their faction identity, strengths, and weaknesses has changed over the years and where the direction of the first week of CID is taking them.
This week on Dark Guidance we take a break from Warmachine discussion to bring you hard questions and tough answers. Mainly What is a sandwich? Is a poptart a ravioli? Is a Firebrand with two shields and a Maelstom considered a standard shield sandwich or a Maelstrom sub sandwich? Are rippers good at slicing bread? […]
This week Chris, Brian, and Tom lure Jack away from Menoth long enough to discuss the Legion CID.
