About this episode

Rob and Val discuss the potential impact of Games Workshop discontinuing Legacy factions in Warhammer the Old World.

He’s back! After a brief hiatus and a spot of "looks-maxing" surgery, Val has resubscribed to the show. In this episode, Rob and Val dive into the ultimate "what if" scenario: *What happens if Games Workshop actually pulls the plug on Legacy factions in a future 2.0 update?* After a delightful catchup, the fellas take a deep look into how much the Legacy Factions are still being played, as well as how much the Renegade Legacy Pack is used at events. With a movement afoot for some events to stop including Legacy factions (Renegades or not) the time is now to decide how the community should respond.
