As with all life, there's winners and losers and the Clash of Kings 2021 update is no different!
Join Bensome, Sellick and Huw as we bypass the campaign & lore to dive into the changes that impact your army!
Will undead get the nerf everyone required? Will Huw love the new Ratkin character? Does the Wiltfather pay childsupport? Our very detailed and slightly intoxicated review has the answers!
Give us a shout out on facebook or twitter if you agree or not!
Cheers,
Direct Misfire

Saturday Sep 26, 2020
The Direct Misfire cats talk through how they see the relative power rankings of the Kings of War armies, just prior to the release of Clash of Kings 2020.
We're interested to hear what you think. Are they way off? What tier would you put the armies into? Are auto-wound dwarves actually fine? Does Morgoth need a buff? Share all your bad ideas on the Direct Misfire Facebook page!

Direct Misfire Missive: Kings of Fight Club Round 1
Sunday Jul 12, 2020
Sunday Jul 12, 2020
Massage those eye muscles and loosen up those traps because a world of cringe is headed your way. Yes the first round of Kings of Fight Club has been completed and within are the results.
Presented in a mock commentary sports gig type thing, listen as three guys with almost no commentary experience fumble their way through eight rounds of combat.
Behind the curtain: we played a bunch of one vs one games using the paired heroes in a set, circular board. What you're about to hear is a dramatisation of the events that took place. Use of imagination is greatly advised.
Enjoy!
PS. Let us know if this was any good. It took way longer to edit than normal and i'd rather not have to do it again if it causes irreparable ear damage. Cheers.

Wednesday May 13, 2020
Lock the doors, close the shutters and don your N95 mask as the lads put the Ratkin army under the microscope. Join them at a safe distance as they isolate each aspect of the army and inform the public on the do's and don'ts on all things ratty.
Settle in for this quarantine-length episode and don't forget to wash your hands when it's done.
Enjoy!
PS: Huw makes many references to an "impeded" rule; he meant Hindered (I wasn't going to swap them out as it would have taken forever).

Direct Misfire Missive: CoK Au 2020 wrap up
Thursday Feb 06, 2020
Thursday Feb 06, 2020
Live, unhinged, and recorded in Canberra; home of the Clash of Kings Australia 2020! Joined by special guests Andrew and Viv, the fellas discuss their predictions for the event before recounting their experiences.
Recorded over 2 days, the audio on this one isn't the greatest as the setup is different from the usual (so don't get used to it - this isn't going to be the new standard).
Also for those with delicate sensibilities be warned. There's a few naughty words thrown about during the course of conversations.
Enjoy!
