Poorhammer
Two Warhammer 40k enthusiasts help players navigate the tabletop hobby with strategic analysis, army-building guides, and a healthy dose of humor.
This is a co-hosted strategy and hobby podcast for Warhammer 40k players. Hosts Brad and Eric blend detailed, analytical deep-dives on rules and army lists with creative, recurring segments where they 'fix' game boxes or grade units on self-made metrics. While primarily focused on 40k, they also review and compare other wargames, always using Warhammer as the audience's main frame of reference.
“Poorhammer stands out by creating its own analytical frameworks (like the 'Distraction Carnifex') to evaluate game elements, turning subjective hobby talk into a more structured, entertaining discussion. Their willingness to dedicate full episodes to other game systems, like 'Trench Crusade', provides a broader wargaming context that is rare in single-game-focused podcasts.”
