We're a member down this week as Holly is seeking guidance from The Emperor. But fear not, we have guest on the pod, and it's only bloody Riley Quinn (Trashfuture, No Gods No Mayors). Arriving at high velocity from his drop pod of "I am so busy please free me" (a real quote, probably) to reminisce all about his history with Warhammer, why it's defi…

This week Lumi's taking over and is here to convert you to the T'au'va. That's right, it's faction focus time and Lumi is taking us on a combined book report/Tau lore journey. With no Holly this episode, and El suffering from a demonic illness of some kind, it truly is Lumi's show. She talks us through Tau history, culture, style, appeal and a whol…

This week we are back (albeit late), and El & Lumi have some exciting things to report. Fresh off the back of a recent game (thats right, we actually played!) we return to talk about the many, many, many ways in which we made mistakes. From dummy deployments to not understanding the actual dice, El & Lumi give an after-battle report to our attentiv…

This week Holly takes the wheel as she tells us (and you) all about her faction, the Adepta Sororitas, the nuns with guns. She tells us who they are, what their vibe is, and most importantly why Holly chose them as her army! Because she's a treasure, Holly has even created a handy little system of critera to evaluate her faction through (which we w…

1:03:48

This week we are back baybeee! No more dry stuffy rules to wade through, we've got a palette full of energy and more discussion than you can shake a paintbrush at. Which is to say El, Rosa & Holly are back to share our feelings on starting to paint. The joys, the roadblocks, and some of the most important things to keep in mind when you start (in o…

In this episode we finish off our intro to rules, as El desperately tries to hammer through A LOT OF RULES while Rosa and Holly continue to be excellently patient students. We cover setting up your table, missions, terrain, deployment AND ALSO cover each of the five phases of a player turn, explaining all the way. (El here: this was entirely too mu…

Today El dons the role of teacher, and starts to lead us through the basics of how 10th Edition 40K works, up to and including what an 'edition' is. Our episode-cum-classroom is set up as an easygoing space, as repeatedly demonstrated by Rosa and Holly's tangents (and El's as well). We talk editions, pre-game things to choose, and the core dice tri…

54:55

With a whole episode under the belt, El, Rosa & Holly take our second outing and paddle around in the shallow(ish) end of the Big Behemoth that is 40K lore. Of which there is so much. There is just SO MUCH. We talk about the imperium (a bit), what the warp is and why it is bad, how Orks are fun. Also El does a dramatic reading of the 40K quote. Let…

1:02:28

El, Rosa & Holly take our first steps into podcasting and talking 40K. In this pilot episode, we skim loose frameworks of the hobby - from playing wargames to niche internet arguments. Staying strictly on target, our conversation also includes mention of Graham's Number, mech suits, and the inevitable Estonian empire. Let us know! All our stuff: ht…
