S04E15 - Holy Crap....This Book is Huge(Part 1)

Warhammer Fantasy 8th edition is out. While the core game play looks pretty similar to earlier versions, there are plenty of small changes which will really mix things up. Brent Bowmaster from Adeptus Fanaticus joins me to discuss these changes. In this first part, we talk about the changes to setting up a battle, some general game play changes, and the ultra violent combat system.

Also, at the end of the show(last minutes) I discuss an email I got from Bastion Studios about our Ex-Illis Review

S04E14 - I Guess "More Painting" Will have to Pass as a Title

Two episodes, Andrew and I started a series on painting miniatures. In that episode, we covered assembly, preparation, priming, and some basic painting techniques. Today, we each put together those basic techniques to show you how to paint a model from start to finish. I paint up a Cygnar Squire, while Andrew works on a Tyranid Hormaguant.
The Cygnar Squire begins at 3:40 and the Hormagaunt begins at 28:45

S04E13 - Sir, I Found Your Problem...It's Called Wizkids....

Just kidding with that title....sort of. We just like to give Wizkids a hard time for how poorly they treated their Mechwarrior players. However, we try to be fair and today we give the new Wizkids company a shot by reviewing DC Heroclix 2010. In all honesty the result was not as negative as we could have made it.

S04E11 - To Space and Beyond...Ok Fine, Not Beyond

Continuing a traditional started two years ago, I like to build a complete battlefield at this point during the season. The past two years we have been grounded on Earth. Today we take to the stars and build a starfield, a planet, and several asteroids. This setup is a great combination for games like Battlefleet Gothic, Babylon 5, or my new game Legends of Kalidasia[Shamesless Self Promotion Alert]
