Hey Nerds. 

On this episode of Shop Talk I sit down with Tyson who is a long time community leader from northern California. He is the head organizer for Warmachine at the Las Vegas Open and the engineer behind some of the most iconic tables in the history of the game. 

We chat about the history of community in the area and the birth of LVO as well as the philosophy and execution behind the tables and terrain that people have fallen in love with at the con. 

Check out his new endeavor with 3D printed terrain at Terrainiacs https://www.facebook.com/share/15uUkWHd25/?mibextid=qi2Omg. 

Hey Nerds. 

Welcome to Season 2. Same great show, different inspiration. 

On this episode of Shop Talk I sit down Cory, who attended and happened to win in the finals of the Warmachin event at the Las Vegas Open Sunday January 19th 2025 playing Khador 5th Division of all things. 

We chat about lists and lead up before we go through his games. We chat a little about the January update and looking forward to Steamroller 2025. It's always a good time when Cory is on the mics. 

If you haven't checked out LVO I highly recommend it. Look forward to more coverage soon. 

Best.

Hey Nerds. 

On this special bonus episode of Shop Talk I sit down with Joseph from Tyrants on the Field to digest and discuss Steamroller in the year 2024 in anticipation of the new packet dropping shortly. 

Joe is one of the other content creators that I have met through doing paint and chat hangouts on discord. He and I have very similar ways of seeing and discussing the game and I really wanted to get some of the topics we have been discussing into a recording. 

We chat about many of the successes and failures of Steamroller 2024 and dive pretty deeply into opinions and speculation. I had a lot of fun with this one. 

I will see you all in the new year. 

Peace and love kids. 

Hey Nerds. 

On this very special collaboration project, I sit down with some of the other Podcasters and media people of the Warmachine world to discuss a few topics surrounding the game and where we are at as a community. This state of the game broadcast was a very fun project to be a part of. 

You may recognize a few of the people involved as most of them are actively talking and engaging with the community.  We discuss community growth, Steamroller generally as it pertains to this new 2024 format, and go over some constructive criticisms for narrative play, the barrier to entry and share some ideas for running events. 

I was honored to be part of this Clash of the Casts endeavor. I hope you find some value in what we had to say. 

Peace and love kids.

Hey Nerds. 

On this episode of Shop Talk I sit down with David, Luke, Bryan and Andrei to discuss our experience playing in the North American Wartable League last month. This particular 4 week league was held as a WTC style 5 person Team event. 

We discuss the team formation, lead up and describe our games round by round. We had a phenomenal time discussing all kinds of topics as a team, sharing our knowledge and rooting for each other. 

This team has truly been a beautiful experience and I had hoped to share a little bit of that with all of you. 

Hey Nerds. 

On this episode of Shop Talk I put together some of the shorter WTC wrap up interviews I did with the remaining members of team Canada. 

I chat with Alex, Luke and Steven about their experiences in Duesseldorf. We discuss their trips, their lists, do a few game recaps and then finish with some overall event thoughts. 

Hopefully these stories will inspire next year's potential team members and share some cool stories with our international friends. 

Cheers everyone ad thank you for your support.

Hey Nerds. 

On this episode of Shop Talk I sit down with Warmachine legends Cory Doyle and Marc-André Leblanc to discuss the 2024 run at the World Team Championships by Team Canada Goose. 

We chat about team creation, army lists and strategies before we dive into all 5 exciting round of the tournament this year. 

I am extremely proud of both teams this year but was especially impresse with team Goose's perseverance after facing the event winners in round 1. I'm pleased to have had this discussion. I hope you enjoy it. 

Hey Nerds. 

On this episode of Shop Talk I sit down with Mark, one of our friends from the far off land of Edmonton Canada. Mark is a long time Warmachine player, Podcaster and this year was the captain for Canada WTC Team Moose. 

I've been bugging Mark to do an interview for quite some time, and everything fell into place for this one. We chat about the Alberta Warmachine scene and do a little recap of what the area looks like now.

The bulk of the episode goes through WTC 2024 from the perspective of one Canadian. We go through lists games and overall thoughts from the event. I had a blast recording and I'm even more proud of our teams after doing this interview. 

Cheers folks and I hope you enjoy. 

Hey Nerds.

On this special bonus episode, Neil, Dave and I decided to turn on the mics in the car (all hands free of course) on the way back from a steamroller we traveled to in Seattle. 

This is the first time our little crew of miscreants has driven to an event together in quite some time. We chat about our lists and our games and do a little check in with our local WTC celebrity to see how preparations are going for the big event in a few months. 

I'm super happy with this one. I think we might try it again. I may not invite the 4th member of the cast back (Dave's Windshield Wipers) next time cause he's bad at interrupting. In hindsight, using Amazon mics in a car on a highway in the rain has its inherent challenges for which I apologize. 

Cheers kids.
