Garth Marenghi’s TerrorTome: Dreamweaver, Doomsage, Sunday Times bestseller

Product Information

No Inspiring Presence can really change the moves your opponent is willing to pull. How much are you willing to risk those Allopexes next to Sinister terrain? Or your Stone Guard after they’ve used their Aetherquartz? The retreat and charge is an entirely unexpected icing on the cake. Combined with a general increase in movement to 8” on average, your ghosts are going to be where you want them to be, and none of these pesky screening shenanigans will matter. Discorporate

Fright of Flight is achieved if there are no enemy units within 6” of Nighthaunt units contesting an objective which is… challenging to achieve if you can’t control who has the final action of the game, and you have no meaningful ranged firepower to push the units away. Well, it's an odd one because that is a good question, because the way we've always done gas pros when we wrote it for the show, and when we did it for the live shows was prose was just very immediately bad. So there would be terrible sentences, terrible choice of words. And the problem that I faced was if you do that, for something that's novel length, the joke very rapidly wears thin. And I realized that you needed to have some form of prose style for Garth that was at least competent enough to maintain interest and not let the reader get bored. And sort of, you know, otherwise, it's just very one note, and you just can't read deliberately bad prose for longer than I think a few paragraphs before. You know, your eyes sort of glaze over and you go gray. So I had to kind of strike a happy medium between a competent piece of writing, but one that still had terrible sentences, terrible ideas every so often, but yeah, so it's less, it's less immediately appalling prose wise than say, you know, other other gaff material, but hopefully means that, you know, people will enjoy it for the stories, and perhaps, you know, feeling that, you know, at some level, maybe Garth does have an idea about how to get, you know, from A to B, without going via, you know, every other letter of the alphabet. All the warscrolls for Nighthaunt, including the new heroes Awlrach the Drowner and the Scriptor Mortis, and the new unit of Craventhrone Guard. Nagash is in here too!The first edition Nighthaunt book introduced the fascinating idea of Nagash as a god of justice, with cruel and evil deeds in life rewarded (?) by unending servitude and punishment by Nagash in death. Kurdoss Valentian was punished for his ruthless desire to rule and murder of his own brothers with a curse of being fated to never rule and never kill again, a bitter jest of Nagash. Dreadscythe Harridans were once healers and nurturers that denied souls to Nagash through extending their life now cursed with rage against those self-same healers, and Chainrasp Hordes were vicious and irredeemable criminals, how fated to be tortured and imprisoned forever. We may have been a bit harsh on Nagash all of, uh, three paragraphs ago, but we really don’t think he has competitive viability at the top tables. He’s a model that’s very binary with victory almost decided at the list building step; if your army can solve the problem of him existing, you win, and if you can’t, you lose; there’s not a lot of tactical nuance or gameplay here. Bringing Nagash to a friendly game can lead to some real feels-bad moments when your opponent can’t solve him and you take off half their army, or they kill him round two and you’ve flat out just lost the game. We love Nagash at Goonhammer, but we’d happily see him reduced in power to increase in survivability and fun for everyone at the table. Following the dismal failure of his 80s TV series Darkplace, horror literature’s greatest living author Garth Marenghi has largely avoided the limelight, but this autumn Marenghi makes a rare public appearance to mark the release of his long-lost multi-volume epic TerrorTome. all I was gonna say was you I think that was the plan about going into it, you know, because there are so many short films, it was the first thing I directed. And the first sort of short film that I that I've written. And in doing research for it, there was just so many short films that just settled for, you know, budget wise, just settled, I guess, for two people in a room talking. And I just always found that tedious and very nobly done. Don't get me wrong, you know, budgets, you know, don't allow you to do much on a short film. But then I would see some films that had just tried to turn them into like little mini feature films. And there's a really good Mike Lee one. I can't remember the name of it now, but it's about hairdressers. It's absolutely brilliant. I thought, well, that is a nightly film condensed into, you know, 20 minutes, or however long it is. So I just I thought I'll try and do that. I'll try and turn a big film into a small film. These are enormous benefits and will really change how the army plays. In the old rules your ghosts only got the 6+ ward save while within 12+ of a Nighthaunt Hero, limiting their ability to spread out over the battlefield. Now it’s just innate; you can use your various movement shenanigans to put your models exactly where they need to be without risking them losing their save.

I haven't got it but I'm now immediately going to have to you know, find it out. I mean, the good thing about living in Japan is even really obscure things are normally available. Like I might if I you know have have a look in somebody's video game shops even be able to find like an original copy of Silent Hill and original ps1 Play on so Happy to have you here. And I want to begin with, I want to know what early life lessons you learned growing up in Whitstable. Following the announcement that the Garth Marenghi performance at the Cambridge Corn Exchange on the 9th Feb was postponed, we are pleased to announce the performance has been rescheduled for Saturday 11th March 2023.Yeah, yeah. And I mean, of course, we're screenwriting as well. I mean, there can be instances where you sell a script, and then they kind of bring their own right as in and pretty much rewrite the entire thing. So yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I was happy to see the dark third homage to King's the dark half. I mean, it's a criminally underrated King novel and Romero films, so it's good to see Yeah, it gets a little bit I love

Yeah. Oh, I've I can see it's available. It's in. It's in Japan. It will be I can get that delivered to me in two days time, then yeah. Yeah, that is happening. Well, I did have a couple of questions from one of our patrons. Okay, yeah, go for it. Dan Howarth says, How has your approach to writing evolved over the years from something as hilarious as dark place to something as weird and bleak as possum and have your influences changed? you put in on that accent reminds me of possibly the worst attempt at a remake ever, which is the American attempt at a peep show remake? I think they'd have you seen it? I think they did. Like I think it's only one pilot episode and it took everything that was good about peep show and The first thing you’ll notice when trying to build a list for your army is that points prices have increased a lot . We’ve seen lists go up hundreds of points, as the only unit that’s come down in points are Bladegheist Revenants down 15 from their last iteration. This is fine. The new battle traits and unit changes we think are very appropriately priced, and while you obviously can’t recreate your old army with this book for the same price, we haven’t been struggling to make new, effective armies with the changes in place.I think so too. So you know, we've both gotten on record. So if one of us gets cancelled, we're going down together, so Exactly. Good. Brilliant. Yeah. We'll take the rest. Right. But I mean, I didn't ask in fact, what was the inspiration for reprising the Garth Marenghi character? Tried and True or done to death.
