Though there's still some question of whether new Tyranids will be previewed this Saturday in the conclusion to the Battle for Oghram, we're betting the spawning pool on it and will be ready to devour them LIVE in this special edition of the number one Tyranid shitshow on the Internet, the Creature Conference! Join us as we watch along with the Games Workshop preview and share our thoughts on all the models.

Here's where I'm coming from when it comes to Hobby Patreons, and to a greater extent how I feel about giving new hobbyists access to the tools they need to make the most of their hobby. And, yes, this is a re-do of my earlier video with atrocious audio! Sorry about that!

I've been keeping an agonizing secret from all my Brood Brothers and Sisters these last few weeks: playing dumb while clandestinely working on a very large, very loud project with @EricsHobbyWorkshop. And it's finally time to reveal the fruits of our labours, so head on over to Eric's channel to get an eye full. I promise you won't want to miss it!

Hive Fleet Moloch, Hydra, and I react to the brand new Tyranids from the Leviathan box, as previewed at Warhammer Fest 2023! Also, yes, those are audio gremlins you hear. Apparently the Germans were out of sync, and we only found out at the very end.
