Episode 99 dives deep into the evolution of Warhammer miniatures — from the days of questionable lead casts and nightmare resin kits to the absurdly detailed models we get today.

We talk hobby nostalgia, the rise of push-fit kits, the disaster years of Finecast, and whether Games Workshop’s increasing prices are creating a barrier for new players entering the hobby.

Along the way we ask:

  •  Are modern kits actually better to build? 
  •  Did older minis have more charm? 
  •  Is hobby accessibility getting worse? 
  •  Where does 3D printing realistically fit into the future of tabletop gaming? 
  •  And why did every hobbyist somehow ingest at least a little lead in the 90s? 

A fun, slightly traumatic walk through miniature history with plenty of community hobby memories along the way.

If you’ve ever glued your fingers together, snapped a resin sword removing mould lines, or opened a Finecast blister with fear in your heart — this one’s for you.
