Contest Entries & Sponsorships

Ack! I can't recall whether I restated the whole rules for the latest contest in the last episode or not. Your supposed to call and leave a voicemail detailing your best dice betrayal story. The one time that your dice utterly abandoned you and led to ruin. I've gotten a couple entries that were just "Hi, entering the contest." please call back and leave the story!!!!

Also, I've only received one sponsorship for the dice blocks so far. In case any of you thought "Well' those will be gone by the time I sponsor a show." :) So go sponsor a show; get some dice.

Thanks,
Joe

Feature : Joe & Chuck Battle Report

Alone for the first half of the show and joined with Chuck for a pre-recorded 2nd half battle report for our next local RTT lists. Hopefully you all enjoy!

News and Rumors is a huge chunk of this episode with so much to talk about! I feel that to sum it up here would be ludicrous. Go give it a listen!

For the feature Chuck and I get together for a battle. Our next local RTT was set at 1250 which cna be a somewhat difficult build. Having to pick and choose the toys and combo's you want makes it kind of difficult and definatly gives the edge to certain builds; high magic, gun lines, etc... We go over army list choices and then a turn by turn report until we wrap up early after I have nearly decimated Chucks army down to nothing.

Episode 17 : Army Theme

Show notes:

Sponsorship : Chuck
Listener E-mail : Hamburger Pimp, TransfattyAcid, Mike Jordal, John LeBlanc, John Lindley, Jereon Van Esch
News/Rumors : 2nd wave Daemons, Chaos Bitz, GW Table, FFG Chaos in The Old World
Feature : Army Theme

Joined by Chuck today for a show on our opinions in army theme and display. The show was sponsored by Chuck; he owed me money and went ahead and overpaid just for fun. After the last episode which was our 1st video podcast I received plenty of e-mail both for and against those types of things. We discuss a couple and think about the future of the show.

News and Rumors sees us discussing some 2nd wave daemons including a rumored re-release of Scayla a Khorne spawn; some Chaos God Bitz Packs now available and the Chaos in The Old World Game being produced by Fantasy Flight games. We also talk about a new thing that GW is producing for 40K and simply wish they would do something like this for Fantasy. Pictures and links below.

For our feature we venture into our thoughts on army theme and display. There is a bit of composition discussion thrown in there but little. We talk about what we think makes for good theme and what we did plus why we did it. We discuss where were heading and what we think is the average progression a gamer takes from first army on. Somewhere in there we discuss our friend Domus' big list of inspirational links which I've included at the bottom of the page for your use; and his awesome war alter he made for Adepticon pictured below. Also pictured below are the mini's that inspired Chuck to run with his crusade theme that he is planning for his 3rd army; plus a pic of his ancient most horrible looking ogres he had to use at MWR this year. A good laugh shall be had..

Towards the end we also announce our next contest. :) Prize and rules information in the show; go give it a listen.
