Episode 10: Mr. Lofgren Goes to Nova and Heresy Again!
WARNING: Janky Audio! This episode was recorded  while Brian had Covid with questionable audio recording equipment. The audio is dodgy, but the conversation is great! In the first segment we discuss Eric's Nova experience playing the Nova Grognard Hat Trick: Battlefleet Heresy, Heresy, and Adeptus Titanicus!  In the second segment we discuss the Horus Heresy as a game we can hold in our heads. Eric holds Brian's head and reinforces his clarity when designing a 1,000pt World Eaters list to paint towards in Zone Mortalis.

Episode 5 First of the Nine: The Black Legion
Join us as we do the obligitory hobby/gaming recap of 2021 and discuss our plans for 2022. There's even a cliche "New Year, New Army" that rolls stright into our new segment: The Nine Traitor Legions! We take a dive into the poster boys of the baddies and trace their evolution from the Sons of Horus, their failure at the Siege of Terra, and their rebirth under the baddest of the "primarchs": Abaddon! Murder hobos, justifying bits hoarding, and letting the greatest motivational speaker help you be your most hateful self on the tabletop all plays into our discussion of translating this army to the tabletop for maximum fun!

Episode 4: I Don't Hate This Game!
We interrupt the scheduled Adeptus Titanicus episode to explore Brian's realization that he loves Warhammer 40,000. Brian and Eric discuss the balance factors of challenges of army builds, artistic fulfillment and obligations, and how these things can help you get the most enjoyment from this glorious game.   We also introduce how we will be reviewing the Crusade portion of codexes going forward, starting with the Death Guard and Adeptus Sororitas.
