I am so glad berilio is in chains now and no longer chained directly to the editing PC. WAY more humane, good job guys

"You won't be done painting these (combat patrol) in six months"
Me who painted 2500 points of Space marines, 1500 points of tyranids and 800 points of necrons within 8 months last year
*Sweating* "Yeah haha, what kind of FREAK would paint that much..."

[LordCrate-duzm]

I have a saying: “Death Guard are the coolest army you’d never want to be a part of.”

After reading Plague Wars, I can safely say this statement is true.

[MortalCosta]

A new addition to the Poorhammer lore, the shotgun is a sturntiger, and Berillo is chained in what I can only assume is Brad's brothers basement. Someone get game theory

[isasushi]

The time for studying for 10 mins has come to end and watch this vid

[Speeds_Gaming_Corner]

Thanks for the shoutout Brad! For anyone else curious about my channel I do exactly what poorhammer did in this episode but for every faction. I post community polls to see what gets done next, so if you want to see a particular faction keep an eye out for my posts!

[Caragoner]

Even the lore behind Beasts of Nurgle is cute. They're literally giant puppies that just want to be your friend. They actually get super depressed when they kill you by hugging you. They only keep going trying to make more new friends

Brad, I understand your struggle. I randomly found 6 boxes of grey knight terminators on sale for 18 bucks each at a used book store. By the end of the hour I was leaving my FLGS with the rest of my now 3500 pts of GK. No, I had no grey knights in my collection at the start of the day. And no I had no intention of ever getting grey knights.

Fucking Sturmtiger is one of the first podcast in jokes. Love it. Berilio is a treasure.

9:11 "Sure, sure sure, ignoring little stuff" was such a smooth Votann pun that I can't tell if it was intentional or not lol

[akumaking]

“Pooping on your Death Guard minis does not count as painting!”
~an unfortunate in a dream

[KatarinaTrakas]

Im a Death Guard main. Two things to note:
1) the plague marines actually have stacks of trim. Not as bad as CSM, but it's still very time consuming.
2) there's an extra 3 plague marines on the Poxwalker sprue in the combat patrol, so you get 10 total :)

[maxtopliss]

I would love an entire series on each army

[pvt.tohveli]

oh god damn good timing, just in the middle of painting some plague marines!

[charybdis]

16:25 Very good point about eggs and baskets. Last weekend I bought a Be'lakor off a friend, just before playing a 500pt game with him. For ease of transportation, I decided to just include Be'lakor in the list. Thus, my army had three units. I was tabled by turn 3. This ought to have been expected, for the reason you described.

[darthkerzy]

I hope you guys are doing alright, sorry to hear money is causing issues but always great to see your content come out!

[timunderbakke]

I’m a simple man. I see a Poorhammer army coverage video and I hit like and listen.

I have no drive to create a new army right now, but it’s fun to listen to. I’m more Change and less Diseased

[halfcrafted]

Excellent episode! I love this Noob's guide format to a faction I think especially highlighting hard to build/hard to paint models is key to removing those blockers people run into while collecting an army or building a list. Would love to see more like this!

[mogwaiman]

Convert the Plague Marine Champion into a Death Guard Chaos Lord.

Convert the three extra terminators into a Lord of Virulence, Chaos Lord in Terminator Armor, and Sorcerer Lord in Terminator Armor

[farseeraradrel]

Holy shit, we're getting narrative intros to this podcast. What next ? Animated avatars ?
