Yeah that's right! We said it! Not even click bait! This is an old fashioned knock down drag em out conversation about how big we think Old World can be for the Community and for Games Workshop's bottom line. 
No Age of Sigmar fans were hurt during the making of this video. Age of Sigmar is still a kick ass game with one of the best communities around. Rob still loves Age of Sigmar and Val will likely remain Sigmar Curious. 
No chapters today, sorry gang. So confident in the content that we reckon you can just randomly scroll to any point on the timeline and have a good time.

THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE: 5 HOURS OF CONTENT ON DWARFS IN A SINGLE WEEK, AND YET ROB AND VAL MADE IT HAPPEN. 
That's right your tremendously NOT hooked up Old World Talking heads are joining a bit late to the party with their razor sharp insights into the pretty pretty dang sweet Dwarfen Mountain Holds Arcane Journal. Fire up the play list and get set for some deep doiving into the mines of Karak Kadrin!

Chapter headings below! 
IT'S A DEEP DOIVE AND WE'RE OVER OUR HEADS. Get it? Because Dwarfs are SHORT. Val and Rob crack open the Forces of Fantasy and take //checks notes // OVER TWO HOURS to meander their way through every item and unit entry. Do they know everything there is to know about Dwarfs? Hell naw. But you better believe that they're a couple of little dwarf freaks by the end of it. Hope you enjoy, and shout us down in the comments. 
ALSO: at 01:03:36 Val gets jumbled up about Master Runes. You CAN combine them, just not with other Master runes. He apologizes for this grudgable gaffe. There are likely others.

Tune in to find out! Or just tell us what you think in the comments without watching.
