Has the "Scope" actually changed or is Games Workshop just asleep at the switch? But first, Rob and Val dive into a massive catch-up session—from Val's grueling victory at the CanHammer Team Tournament to the ongoing labor of love that is the Renegade Legacy Pack and Rob's "Rivers" event. Chapters: 0:00 - Intro  1:41 - Val’s Renegades update and the Chaos Dwarf draft. 8:07 - CanHammer Team Tournament post-mortem and why team formats rock. 16:10 - Rob's 500-point Foray event. 23:42 - Event Showcase blog 32:36 - Does Square Based Comp scare away the A-tier armies? 43:18 - *Main Topic:* Seven months of silence. Why has Old World dissappeared? 55:02 - Rumors and theories: Missing starter boxes and the 1.5 edition "copium." 57:24 - The Business Theory: Did GW just crush their KPIs and take their foot off the gas? 1:14:06 - Could Age of Sigmar’s upcoming overhaul be freezing Old World's release schedule? 1:19:33 - What does the ideal Old World release schedule actually look like?
