In this episode, George and Mark return to the anvil of war to forge something many have sought but few have mastered: a real discussion on how to build decks in the Nemesis format.

With warbands sharpening their blades and Rivals decks piling high, it’s easy to feel lost in the carnage. But fear not, this conversation cuts through the noise. From foundational pairing philosophies to the tactical nuances that make certain combinations shine, the lads unpack what it means to build smart, thematic, and powerful Nemesis decks in today's meta.

Whether you’re chasing glory in a local clash or preparing for grander battles ahead, this episode offers practical tools, competitive insight, and a little bit of dark laughter to guide your path.

The Age of Rivals is here to stay. Best come prepared.

In this episode, we dive into the blood drenched horrors of Embergard with a double feature: Kamandora’s Blades and the Raging Slayers Rivals deck, card by card, of course.

First up, we unpack the latest warband to pledge themselves to the Blood God. Kamandora, Mother of Hate, stalks the battlefield with her savage kin, carving through the wounded and the weary in a frenzy of cruel precision. Every skull they claim fuels their grisly purpose, not for glory, but to add to the towering pyramid where Korghos Khul once earned his daemonhood.

Then we shift gears to Raging Slayers, a Rivals deck that rewards furious commitment and well timed risk. Built around the new Rage mechanic, this deck lets fighters push their limits with boosted attacks at the cost of their footing. Whether you are venting rage in a decisive strike or riding the wave of berserker momentum, Raging Slayers is a deadly and flexible option that pairs especially well with Kamandora’s crew but brings value across the wider meta too.

Blood flows in Embergard, and Khorne is watching.

In this episode, George is joined by a new challenger from down under: Reuben, the Australian player who crossed oceans and crushed expectations to claim victory at the 2025 Canadian Tabletop Championship.

Together, they unpack the list, relive key moments, and reflect on what it takes to bring glory to your homeland on foreign soil. It’s proof that no matter where you’re from, the call to greatness can echo across continents.

Australia has entered the arena. And it is here to win.

In this episode, George sits down with Matt Penner to celebrate excess, elegance, and absolute domination after his win at the Alberta Grand Clash 2025 with The Thricefold Discord, paired with Blazing Assault and Countdown to Cataclysm. A master of precision and flair, Matt played a dazzling series of games that left his opponents reeling in the wake of Slaanesh’s perfection.

His victory not only secured a place in the spotlight but also earned him a coveted golden ticket to the World Championships of Warhammer.

Matt, the author behind the Set the Tempo blog featured on the Path to Glory website, shares the cunning and control that define his warband’s approach. Though recorded before the most recent rules update, the tactics discussed remain as sharp and seductive as ever. The Thricefold Discord were untouched, and their disharmony is far from over.

Prepare for a symphony of strikes and subtlety. The Dark Prince is pleased.
