In this episode, Ray gets ears deep into some clowns.  There is some talk of Knights, Orks and space puppies and ray eats a pop tart.  We sprinkle in some After Action Review and Maximum Effort to keep the show on track.

What we are drinking? We complete our tour of the Mike Hess Brewing Company.  Andy Drinks their Double IPA and Ray has their 8 West Orange Honey Wheat.

HABITUS  DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE “Habitus, winner of the 2014 World Beer Cup℠ in the Rye category, is a spicy, crisp, and extremely drinkable double IPA. We use loads of Sterling and Chinook hops in the kettle and hopback (and even more during the dry hop) for intense pine aromatics accentuated by a rye and 2-row malt base for a truly great IPA experience.”  17.0° Plato, 100 IBU, 8.0 ABV  

8 WEST  ORANGE HONEY WHEAT “Named for the highway to the sun-kissed Pacific shores of San Diego, 8 West is brewed with local orange peel and more than two pounds per barrel of pure California orange-blossom honey, resulting in a smooth, crisp taste that embodies America’s Finest City.” 12.4° Plato, 24 IBU, 6 ABV

BAM BAM!  I called in our good buddy Bam from the Flying Monkys Wargamming Podcast to talk TO on TO with Ray about the CHEATING at the London GT, the events at Midwest Conquest and What’s happening at the Flying Monkey Con in June.

We scooped them all.  Andy and Geoff Robinson sit down to talk about the big controversies at the London GT.  We talk cheating. We talk terrain, and Andy sprinkles in some big boob and phat ass talk.  We got this interview in late so we dropped it into the rest of the show.  If you are just looking for the interview you can fast forward ahead to about 2:08:00.

We invite you to listen to the entire show where we circle back around to Ray’s topics of Necrons, Dark Eldar, Harlequins and a little Deathwatch.

What we are drinking?!?  Once again thanks to our good friend Jesse Rodriguez we drink the Mike Hess SOLIS INDIA PALE ALE.

“Like a new sunset every evening, each batch of Solis (sunset/west coast) is unique—a new and interesting combination of malt and hops. This bone-dry, hop-forward, dynamic San Diego–style IPA allows us to keep our creative juices flowing and your mouth watering. Make sure you ask your server which batch they are serving and try them all! Can drinkers—look on the bottom of your can for a package date and batch number.”  16.5° Plato, 75 IBU, 7.5 ABV

In the episode Ray asks about IPA’s and I didn’t have an answer for him.  Follow the link below to learn more about this fantastic beer selection

Through the series of tubes known as the “Information Super Highway”, we could talk with Frankie Giampapa, “G-Pop”, from Frontline Gaming.   Ray and Frankie are a pair of fairy fuckers so we thought it would be good to get them both on Mic to talk about Dark Eldar.  You won’t catch Andy calling them Drukari.

During the recording Andy was drinking the Grapefruit Solis from Mike Hess Brewing in San Diego.  “Grapefruit Solis kicks it up a notch by taking an awesome San Diego–style IPA and pumping it full of citrusy grapefruit—we're talking real fruit, zest and juice. The hops complement the zestiness, and the subtle malt makes this an award-winning, crisp, and deliciously refreshing India pale ale.” 16.5° Plato, 80 IBU, 7.5 ABV

It has an interesting wide mouthed can that makes the can more of a cup.  It was very tasty and it comes highly recommended.

We finally get around to talking about Ray’s side chick, Necrons.  We also talk some Maximum Effort, After Action Review, a little Deathwatch, and Ray learns about Yohimbe.

What we are drinking? Ray picked up two 6 packs from Strand Brewing Company.  We drank their Atticus IPA:

"Atticus India Pale Ale has a full-bodied, toasted caramel base with a hint of bittersweet.  Expertly blended layers of hop aroma, character and flavor display a profoundly disciplined and redefining approach to the West Coast IPA. 7.2% ALC BY VOL"

and the 24th St Pale Ale.

"Brewed with pale, crystal and German Munich malts and hopped with Summit, Cascade and Amarillo, this pale ale is incredibly well balanced.  It is slightly floral, slightly fruity and ends with a subtle bitter finish. 6.1% ALC BY VOL"

Now that the FAQ we have all been remaking and rethinking lists.  Andy took this opportunity to call in some professional help at The Brown Magic.  ITC Champion Nick Nanavati started a 40K coaching business.  Andy took advantage of the list doctor and personal phone call with his newest team members and Adepticon Champion Matt Root.  We recorded the phone conversation with Matt’s permission and we are releasing it for you today.  We follow it up with some discussion of our own.  Andy also gets salty about the ITC Hobby track.

What are we drinking? We drank the King Harbor Brewing Company’s Tiki Hut IPA.

“Tropical awesomeness powered by monster flavor/aroma additions of Citra and Mosaic.  Epic hop profile with a touch more specialty malt than a typical West Coast IPA.  That extra support allows the Citra & Mosaic profiles to shine extra bright…like diamonds made of lupulin and unicorn kisses.  7.5% alc/vol”

It’s very tasty and we both highly recommend.

Holy FAQ! Now that we are on the other side of the Broadside Bash, we can focus on Edition 8.1.5.4.2.  In this 3.5 hour megasode, we discuss the big changes in the FAQ and how those changes impacted our armies for good or for evil.

What we are drinking! Andy got this for the second day of the Broadside Bash and it was refreshing a delicious so we decided to have it again and share it with you.  We drank the Lagunitas Sumpin’ Easy.  It’s a light IPA, almost a sessional, but with more ABV.  Highly, highly recommend for a hot summer day.  Easily one of our favorites.
