Joined by EmGameScoring to chat all about being involved in the latest hotness of this new Instagram media stuff, which I'm not convinced will take off. However they are doing very well in the space and so I thought it was definitely worth a chat about the new BG media landscape, and why you simply can't have all the Nazgul in one space.
Please give them a follow in all their relevant links, they're doing a great job to highlight the retail spaces in the hobby as well as create some great short form content. It was a fascinating chat to get their viewpoint as someone so new..
Please make sure you check out the links below you lovelies.
