Ep 36 - Getting competitive with a list that only has two units
Welcome to Joshing Around in Eä! We're just three mates taking a while to get onto drinking grappa...again...and chatting about Conquest...This episode, we procrastinate by talking smack about our professional nemeses, before going all creative about miniatures games that are DEFINITELY NOT Conquest, and to be honest don't exist and most likely never will. But there's always hope!We also go into a battle report and analysis of a sweaty Hundred Kingdoms list facing off against a Spires list containing literally only two regiments. If you want an excuse to always get the advantage for having fewer cards, after listening to this you'll have the exact how-to for precisely that.

Ep 35 - 3-player scenarios
Welcome to Joshing Around in Eä! We're just three mates drinking a lager that looks like a cola and chatting about Conquest...This episode, we talk about how the other factions ought to react to the new trebuchet. Would you rather be pummelled by a barrel of boiling oil, or your own cousin? Or perhaps you'd like to talk about the wrong Warhammer Chaos god...please no hate mail about that, we were tired... Thank you for every listener question that arrives in the inbox, we read them all and are trying to work our way through them!The topic for this episode is a three-way First Blood scenario that was always going to go in only one direction, and it was all Josh's fault.

Welcome to Joshing Around in Eä! We're just three mates drinking a selection of American beers and chatting about Conquest...This episode, we talk about the new Hundred Kingdoms trebuchet!

Ep 33 - First Blood 3.0 first impressions
Welcome to Joshing Around in Eä! We're just three mates drinking student cider and chatting about Conquest...This episode, we give our first impressions on First Blood 3.0.

Ep 32 - Meme list live creation (2026 update)
Welcome to Joshing Around in Eä! We're just three mates drinking something incredibly strong that Josh was always bound to dislike and chatting about Conquest...This episode, we spend an embarrassing amount of time talking about ten pin bowling, the amount of urine on pub nuts and much more before not even attempting an intro. You're welcome?Meme lists might be fun to play, or might be boring. They might be interesting, or might make a game more forgettable. They might be ultra competitive, or might get you kicked out of a tournament for not taking things seriously enough. Expect a force grown drone or two to be mentioned. Aside from the greatest story about a stag do to ever appear on a UK-based Conquest podcast, listen in for some daft ideas about Nords, Spires and Hundred Kingdoms.As always, thank you ever so much for being a fantastic listener to our podcast.

Ep 31 - Spires rework: hot-take, deep-dive, review, opinions and experiences
Welcome to Joshing Around in Eä! We're just three mates drinking something non-alcoholic and chatting about Conquest...This episode, we experiment with something a long time past its sell-by date and then do a deep dive into the recent Spires rework. The too-long-didn't-listen version is...pointless, because this is a podcast. If you've gotten to this page, are halfway through the second paragraph of the show notes and still have no desire to listen to the episode, there is honestly no chance that any wisdom we have to offer, distilled or not, will be of any use to you.What's changed in the rework? What's stayed the same? What does it feel like to play new-look Spires? Is the Decay worth it? Is the Merchant Prince the gamechanger we all dreamed it would be? If you were going to rate it out of 5 or 10, would you prefer going for out of 5 or out of 10? All this and not much more in this episode...As always, thank you ever so much for being a fantastic listener to our podcast.
