The Battle for Salvation: Warhammer Underworlds Podcast is back again with a super-sized supplemental episode. Here, Max and Randall share their thoughts about the Universals from the Kainan's Reapers expansion and the Silent Menace Card Pack.
Update - 9/7/2021 11:26 EST - The wrong file was uploaded! If you didn't get the theme song over the opening of the episode, you have the raw file, which has a lot of extraneous talking as well as far too many "Ums". I have uploaded the cut version now. Sorry for the error!
Old Man Traquiar returns to the program to discuss the Kainan's Reapers faction. Boners in-bound! We discuss the fighters, Bro-tek strategies, Tit-the counters, how to play them Bro-fessionally, how to make good use of the Bro-jectives, and more. Enjoy, Bro.

Hi everyone, We have another of our supplemental episodes for the Direchasm-season factions, this time covering the universal cards from the Starblood Stalkers expansion. However, as we were preparing for the episode, The new FARt list and errata was dropped so Max and Randal had a good reason to talk about something current! Click the link to hear our thoughts.
To delve deeply enough into the Starblood Stalkers we have on the program CritMaster Supreme, John Wynne Rees. We discuss the faction, the faction specific cards, and how to play them in the current meta. Why can't Randall pronounce "Lords of Space and Time" correctly? It's a mystery.

Due to the MASSIVE DUMP of new Underworlds content that has arrived, we've hastily thrown together a new episode! We now have a much clearer look at the upcoming fourth season of Underworlds, Direchasm. Join us for a discussion on the new Forsaken and Restricted list, Direchasm rulebook changes, new competitive formats and more!
In this episode we discuss some of the end of the Beastgrave season goings-on. Of course we ask and explore the hard hitting questions:
What do the Arena Mortis Cards add to the meta?
How is the Sepulchral Guard affected by the new cards/mechanics? (Thanks to Tristain Mitchell for his insight!)
How can we have an in-person Grand Clash during COVID times? (Answer- )
WHAT MAKES THAT GODDAMN CHASM SO DIRE ANYWAY?!?!?!?!
Of course we have card awards and your key to salvation, so pour yourself a magmalt draught and enjoy!

So, it took a bit of convincing on my part to get Randall in the mood for an episode. You can hear my Disneyfied efforts at the top of the show. After that, Tom Bond of Steelcityunderworlds.com and Chatting Crit podcast joins us to discuss the Nurgle faction and how to approach deck building for them.
Note: Since we're all doing everything from home at the minute, please be aware (and forgiving) that the sounds in the background you hear, either the pitter-patter of the rain on an air conditioner and two young children running amok, are entirely on my (Max's) end because I can't travel to the quiet place at which I usually record. I suppose we've all been inconvenienced. :(
Anyway, we tried our very best to be professional and this was the best we could come up with. :( again.
