Combat Phase

We talk news, hobby, games played, campaigns and then Gav Thorpe joins us for a Warhammer Fantasy Book Club and we cover Doom of Dragonback and the End Times novel 3: The Curse of Khaine.

Great interview. There was some mic peaking at times but I've hopefully cut most of that out. You'll live. Enjoy!

We're back! Happy New Year!

We talk news, hobby, games played, including some time spent on our big Combat Phase December megabattle (Warhammer End Times, this year).

Next we explore starting hobby projects for the year and give some tips and lessons learned. This could be for an army goal, event game, league, community event, tournament or convention, or just whatever you want.

Enjoy!

In this final installment of our 3-part series we give our thoughts on the hobby over the past year. Themes, business practices, media for games, fan support, etc. We rank our top 5 game systems played in 2014, our goals and (more realistic) resolutions anc close with the happy hobby wishlist.

We'll be taking next week off for the holidays and are recording at our megabattle on Dec. 28th so thanks everyone and have happy holidays and happy new year!

Enjoy!

We launch right into part 2 of the 2014 Year in Review (May - December). Next week we will have part 3/3 where we deliver our thoughts and best/worst of the year as well as hobby goals and resolutions for 2015.

Will we keep them??? Probably not.

Enjoy!

We have some brief news, Kenny did a 5000 pt Storm of Magic game then two days later tried out the new Warhammer magic rules - recapped.

We launch into a hefty year in review across the entire hobby. We look at how we received our games, formats, materials, release schedule, kickstarter, digital, mini board games, harbingers of things to come we didn't see at the time...

January - April 2014

There will be a part 2 and possibly 3.

Enjoy!

We talk news, Adepticon, hobby, games played and will be played, and discuss some still going Black Friday sales options for miniwargamers. Then we have a sudden surprise drop-in guest Adam (Voxxman) Tremblay from our favorite good-natured northern neighbor, Canada, to talk hobby inspirations from all walks of life. I mean, all!

Enjoy!

We talk news, hobby and games played. Our conversation tonight is addressing the debate on when Kickstarter is no longer a Kickstarter. That is, has the function and use of KS turned into pre-sales and how is this affecting alternative model lines vs. self-contained games? We look at the evolution of mini wargaming with crowd funding and discuss where it is now, lessons learned, and predictions. Worry not; it's not all negative, some back and forth. 

We talk news, hobby and games played. Kenny recaps quickly his team 40K tournament experience at GameHole Con then we are joined by Black Library author, Chris Wraight, to talk his fantasy, 40K and Horus Heresy Novels. Enjoy!

We talk news, hobby, games played and Robert brings us up to speed on his amazing 24 hours of gaming marathon last week for Extra Life charity. Next we play the audio from David Guymer on his latest book for the Warhammer End Times: Kinslayer. Kenny has Glottkin at time of this posting but you'll have to wait until next week to hear about it, muhahaha!

Note: audio at beginning of Guymer interview was on old machine so there is a switch after about 5 minutes to much clearer and slightly louder audio, FYI. Don't abandon ship just yet.

Enjoy!
