Joshy is back with a slew of new Space Wolves lore dossiers. This episode moves the spotlight away from the newly re-imagined Logan, Arjac, and Njal, sharing the love instead for fan favourites Ragnar Blackmane, the Young Wolf of the Space Wolf novels, Ulrik the Slayer, and the seemingly eternal dreadnought Bjorn the Fell-Handed.

These lore bites are a brief overview of the characters, their campaigns, their deeds, and what they bring into battle. Joshy breaks down where you may read more on these epic individuals, while saving the discussion of their models and rules for the next episode, when Joshy and Jonny break down the new Space Wolves Codex Supplement.

TTP Field Manual is brought to you by Joshy and Jonny, best friends and gaming enthusiasts from their local group, Trust the Process Hobbies. Die-hard fans of tabletop gaming, we use this podcast as a platform to share our passionate (and somewhat humorous) ramblings in and around the hobby (though we cannot shut up about Warhammer).

By day, Joshy is a therapist; by night, he's an RPG aficionado who grew up on (not-so) Final Fantasies and crafting his own Dungeons & Dragons worlds. Jonny, a technician, spends his downtime conquering more video games than Joshy can keep track of.

By day, Joshy is a therapist; by night, he's an RPG aficionado who grew up on (not-so) Final Fantasies and crafting his own Dungeons & Dragons worlds.

Josh loves sci-fantasy, and so is quite at home with Warhammer! He plays Necrons, Adepta Sororitas, and Aeldari. His playstyle is reserved and cagey, preferring to outmaneuver his opponents before delivering the killing blow. His painting approach is a blend of fast painting styles and technical effects. He's the resident lore expert and wishes he could apply his encyclopaedic brain to other areas of life.

Jonny is a big fan of magic in his games and putting together vicious combos. He's the de facto Champion of Chaos when it comes to Warhammer, playing Chaos Knights, Thousand Sons, and Chaos Space Marines. He loves synergistic army lists and is always putting together new ideas. His painting approach is classic 'Eavy Metal.
