STABcast

Come join us for a giant edition of the STABcast where we break apart the Cherokee Open.  We talk battle reports, tables, the news, paint, and the fun you can have at a great adventure. Plus, a special helping of BenFacts!, the Dr. Thunder to BushFact's Dr. Pepper.

We had a fantastic time at Cherokee and hope we can share that joy in podcast form!

Hello, faithful listeners!

Will, Tim, Ryan, and Ben wrapped up the Cherokee Open Legion Tournament late Sunday evening, packed up all the terrain, got home super late, and have just been busy trying to get back in the flow of work and normal life for the last two days. So, no episode this week. We could have given you a slapdash 15 minutes, but we at the STABcast have always subscribed to the Boyz II Men theory of podcasting and love making. So just close your eyes, make a wish, and we will return next week with our full break down of the Cherokee Open, like you want us to, when you want us to.

On this week's episode we talk some game play with Yoda, Padme, and tanks, the oppression of droid life, the field testing of new table terrain, 3D printing and much more.  Come for the delicious glee in Ben's voice as he asks questions that trigger Tim. stay for the fear Ewoks generate in Tim.

All this and much, much more lies in Episode 91 of the STABcast. 

Welcome cadets and commanders to the 90th episode of the STABcast. With the return of half the cast from the Las Vegas Open, we had to talk about it. 

Do you want to hear thrilling stories of Droid Dominance? Ben does, so you are going to hear them.

Do you want to hear Wookie madness at the Rio Casino? Will and Tim do, so you are going to hear about it.

Do you want to hear about Operative Luke lightsabering all the peoples, unless he says no one is fighting this turn? Ryan does, and so you are going to as well!

So many stories from the Las Vegas Open, and even Will and Ben got into the act by haunting the live Twitch stream of Yavinbase.  And before you send out the search Legions, Brett did make it back to his home planet. Just not in time for us to know when we recorded the podcast.

Preparations are on for the Las Vegas Open, and Tim, Will, and Ben talk about Yoda and Wookies, who are now street legal in the US! We talk about gaming and signing up for events at Adepticon and Gencon. 

Come for the laughter, stay for the fun... all this and more on this week's episode of STABcast. 

Come join Ben, Tim, and Ryan as we discuss battle reports, experiments with the new GAR Wookies, and some table building talk. We also review our 2021 New Year's Resolutions and make new ones for 2022. 

Welcome to 2022 everybody! To a better new year and more STABcast episodes coming your way!

The music at the top of today's episode comes from Joonas Suotamo, Mr. Chewbacca himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e19rH9D272c 

It is an episode jammed back with battle reports, ALL of them from Ben. Hear about the interesting and the bizarre in Legion lists, tournament play, a talk of MOV versus SOS and more from the New Orleans Open. Of course you don't travel with STABcast if you are not looking for some local food recommendations in New Orleans. 

Also hear about how assembling and painting the new models from Will, Ben's procurement agent and artist in residence.  All that and much more on this week's episode of STABcast!

Come join Ben, Tim, and Ryan as we start preparing for the 2021 year of tournaments!  After this long drought of 2020 and the hit or miss of 2021, 2022 promises to be a year jammed with big events we are planning on attending.  We talk paint jobs on new models and new points for new lists, so the guys talk through what they are thinking about taking. Ryan and Tim talk LVO in January, but Ben's trip down river to New Orleans is this week and Will is still painting his things!  What lists will they put together? What hot mess will Ben bring to the New Orleans Open? Find out on this week's episode of STABcast!

Come listen as Will turns on his fellow STABcasters and attempts to do what no one in the group has done before: defeat the other three members in single week. Can Will tackle Tim, Ryan, and Ben and secure his Clone Throne? Or will the empowered by the RRG Imperials toll Will's doom? Can Rebel shenanigans rout the Galactic Army of the Republic? Will the might of Darth Maul and Count Dooku turn Will's clone ball into a well blended paste?

Find out that and what we are thankful for this Thanksgiving on this episode of the STABcast!  Happy Holidays to our listeners who are traveling, a happy recognition that our Canadians friends do this in October, and for the rest of our fans who are just going to work, we are thankful for you giving us your listening time. 

Tim couldn't join us for the 84th episode of the STABcast, but his takes are always spicy, so he recorded them on his own.  Several experts have weighed in. Luminaries from the Star Wars discord, have some opinions on Tim's Ginger Hot Takes.

Beez: "They are certainly takes."

Drawde: "I'm not listening. Please cease and desist before I have my lawyers send you a cease and desist."

Fifth Legion: "Yes, we said this last week. Tim just repeats all the things we say."

But don't take their words for it! Give it a listen and then let us know what you think. Come for the intro music; stay for the outro music, but most of all, thanks for listening to the STABcast.
