Path to Glory

Path to Glory 89: Kill Team Into the Dark ft. Ace

The new season of Kill Team is kicking of and GW sent us a copy of the Into the Dark box set to review. Aman & Zach are joined by the number one ranked Kill Team player in the world, Ace, to discuss the contents of the box. We go over the big rule changes, kill teams themselves (including their stratagems, equipment, and fighters), and what these changes mean for the meta. Zach is a big KT player himself so the episode is filled with great conversation and knowledge. 

Thanks to Games Workshop for sending us this free preview copy in advance. 

Path to Glory 88: Nova Meta Predictions & Hexbane’s Universals

In this episode, we talk about what the Nova Open meta is going to look like and how Aman prepared for the upcoming Grand Clash. The crew also chats about what they've been up to towards the tail end of the summer and how they've been enjoying the hobby lately. We also pick our favorite cards from the recently released Hexbane's Hunters set. We actually did record a full episode but about halfway through, the audio just goes blank. So this is our attempt to that lost episode justice. Good chat all around! 

Path to Glory 87: Hexbane’s Hunters

Hexbane's Hunters have finally arrived! Haskel Hexbane, tasked by the Order of Azyr, leads his cadre of mirthless and determined warriors into the depths of the Nethermaze. Their goal is simple, to scour the region in the cleansing fires of justice and order. The third warband in the Nethermaze season looks absolutely gorgeous and their mechanics and abilities are to die for. Literally. Join us as we discuss the fighters and break down their faction objectives, gambits, and upgrades.

Path to Glory 86: Online Brawls & Skittershank’s Clawpack ft. Mark Breault

In this episode, Aman continues his pseudo 'warband wisdom' series by sitting down with Mark, author behind the Determined Effort blog, as we discuss his recent success with Skittershank's Clawpack at the most recent online community event. Mark breaks down his deck, his games, and shares his core strategies surrounding the warband. We also discuss how to tackle certain matchups in the current meta. If you've been trying to make the skaven assassins work, and have been struggling, this is the episode for you. We end the episode off with our classic, "rapid fire round." 

Path to Glory 85: Warcry Heart of Ghur

Games Workshop sent us a free preview copy of the newest Warcry box set, Heart of Ghur. This set kicks off the newest season of Warcry which includes brand new rules, mechanics, and warbands. Zach was quite keen to do this episode and shares his love for the fast paced, brutal skirmish game. As we are an Underworlds podcast, we view the box through the lens of an Underworlder who might be interested in taking the plunge into Warcry, but isn't so sure.

Hopefully this episode convinces you to brave the brutal and savage woods of Ghur. Just watch out for dudes trying to inject you with plague ridden swamp water. Yeah, best to stay clear. Oh, and watch out for the bull helmet dudes too. They'll light you on fire. You know what, maybe just avoid everyone.

Path to Glory 84: Warhammer World & Zarbag’s Gitz ft. Niccolo Ciuppani

In this episode, Aman is joined by special guest, Nick - the Italian Underworlds Stallion! We kick off things off by chatting about the Hexbane's Hunters previews before diving into Nick's undefeated Zarbag's Gitz deck that podiumed at the Warhammer World Mini-Clash. Nick recounts his games and his strategies, which provide deep insight into how he pilots the diminutive fighters. Inexorably, we end up chatting about the meta and discuss who we think is currently sitting on top. 

In addition, we have a slightly different 'Sleeve it or Leave it" section where we discuss whether or not Dark Inversion should be restricted. We end the episode with some rapid fire (shoutout to my boy Ironhail) questions! 

Path to Glory 83: Alberta Classic & Shadeborn ft. Derek

Listen in as Aman interviews Derek, aka "Kaptain Murder", on his recent win at the Alberta Classic in June - the largest Underworlds event held annually in Canada. Aside from recapping the event, the Kaptain also discusses his winning Shadeborn deck and his thoughts on why he believes they're a top tier warband.

We managed to also sprinkle in a little FaR speculation and meta talk! Our guest may or may not be heard cracking open multiple cold ones.
