Mat and Dionne
Welcome to the Whiteshield Podcast! We are the Poor Mans Warhammer 40,000 Podcast! With an initial investment of no more than a hundred bucks, and no knowledge of what they’re doing, laughably bad veteran player Mat takes uninitiated FNG, Dionne, on a deep dive of the hobby and universe of Warhammer 40,000. If you’re new to the hobby, out of place in the competitive scene, or are struggling to understand where all your hobbyist spouse’s money is going, we’re here for you. Join us, as we jump into the deep and oftentimes, labyrinthian world that is the hobby, of Warhammer 40,000
Ep 15 - The Inquisition
Following a second work related hiatus, Mat and Dionne are back in front of the mics to talk about the recent changes brought about by the Ark of Omen Chapter Approved, as well as everyone's favorite (if unexpected) G-Men, The Emperor's Holy Orders of the Inquisition.

EP 14 - Orktober
Making it in just in time to still be 'Orktober', Mat and Dionne have fun talking about 40k's goofiest of factions along with Mat's piss-poor performance at Harvester of Souls, and what exactly it was that happened with the Leagues of Votann.

EP 13 - The Return
Returning from a move-related hiatus, and having gained a fair bit of experience with Nephilim the guys discuss their unsolicited opinions on how to improve the game in a ways that completely negate what Nephilim set out to do. Having painted a single test model, and played all of two games with his Minotaurs army, Dionne turns his focus over to Dark Angels. Meanwhile, Mat is getting excited for an upcoming tournament, and regrets his artistic decisions.

The man who's antibodies are so powerful, that by merely sneezing on you, he can undo the work of Nurgle! Carlos McConnell! He once arm wrestled Khorne and won. Carlos McConnell! There isn't a catgirl he's met that he hasn't slept with! We're also talking about some other stuff in this episode as well..

EP 11 - Weapons of the Imperium
In the first episode of what Mat has decided will be a less focused 'season' following their close on the Horus Heresy, the guys sit down to have a brief discussion about some of the more common weapons used by the Imperium. Dionne gets excited about some upcoming 40k Videogames, and Mat reflects on some recent games he played on the table and gives his brief take on the new Knight Codex. (For reasons beyond our comprehension, the recording of this episode was plagued with problems, and as a result the audio is a little choppy in some places. Apologies in advanced. You get what you pay for, with the Poor Man's 40k Podcast)

EP 10 - The Horus Heresy
Reaching their 10th Episode, and recording on Discord for the first time, Mat and Dionne finally sit down and discuss the broad strokes of the Horus Heresy, focusing on topics like the Burning of Prospero, the fun times had in the Isstvan System, how Guilliman is actually a bit of a dickhead, some of the best flavors of Mrs. Vicky's chips, and a beer that tastes like soap.

EP 7 - Denziens of the Warp Pt. 2

EP 6 - Denizens of the Warp Pt. 1
Having lost the original recording of this episode, due to what can only be described as gross negligence, Mat and Dionne are forced to sit down and re-record their discussion about the various non-people that inhabit The Warp. Predictably, the conversation steers into subject matter such as the collective nouns for animal groups, a brief discussion about the number 9, what you can expect to see from Dacia through 2022, and a really terrible impression of Donald Trump.   We also talk about a little bit of 40k...
