About this episode

Rob and Val discuss the major updates to the Dark Elves in the Renegade Army Lists for Warhammer: The Old World.

In this episode of The Square Based Show, Rob and Val dive deep into the first major DRAFT update for the Renegade Army Lists—starting with the Dark Elves. This isn't just a minor tweak; it’s a "2.0" overhaul designed to bring the Legacy Dark Elf list up to par with the Core factions in Warhammer: The Old World. Val discusses his process of "vibing" with the faction, addressing community feedback, and his quest to restore the "hateful" identity of the Druchii while respecting the power level of the current edition. From the return of iconic spells to points adjustments for the War Hydra and Cold One Knights, we break down every magenta-highlighted change in the new document. *Read the DRAFT Renegade Dark Elves here:* https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DxVMfxgaDnemxkmqxatHZwGNv0i1rRoekbsmVKgmRmA/edit?usp=sharing *Share your Feedback here (or in the comments below)*https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVv-GMpx67sRR1v8aetdHUtwt77WS4lfv_-D5GhNrCNVutbQ/viewform Chapters: 0:00 - Intro & The "Tough Look"1:11 - What is Renegade 2.0?2:41 - The State of Dark Elves4:35 - Rumors & The "Old World" Future6:40 - Design Philosophy: Power vs. Flavor8:14 - The Lore of Naggaroth &amp…
