Kurnoth's Canadian Herald - 185

Here at WTH we love a dark horse story, and though the player wasn't a dark horse, his warband choice was.  We talk to G who was responsible for one of the more intriguing storylines at worlds- with his brilliant run with Kurnoth's Heralds.  Phil and Davy interview about his thoughts about the warband and its performance.

Success on Draft - 183
