Show notes:

1. Sponsorship : Tales of Battle, Gryfalia's Aerie, Capital City Games and John Walton
   
2. News/Rumors : Operation Homefront, Gamesday LE Figure, Gui Le Gros, Blazing Sun Upgrades
   
3. Feature : Our Changing Armies...
   

We start #49 by of course thanking our sponsors and discussing our weeks; which haven't involved a lot. Chucks painted some, and I've conintued painting as well as cleaned up the main site blog a little bit. I've also updated our Zazzle Store so if your interested in both supporting the show and getting some gear check that out and buy something as we get 10% of what you spend at the store back to us.

We take the later half of the show discussing a charity that Chuck is working with and new models by GW. The Gamesday LE Skaven Warlock Engineer, Gui Le Gros and the Blazing Sun Knights upgrade kits. We then take some time for our feature to discuss the was that our primary armies we've been playing in 8th edition have changed from the way they operated in 7th. This is a discussion on Dwarfs and Brettonians so if your interested in our views on those definitely give it a listen.

FlickR Clearout!

So I've done it before, but I just went through today and cleared out a whole TON of photo's from our FlickR account. So if your browsing through our old posts and things and pictures are missing I apologize, but it's just something that has to be done so that we can keep more up to date photos available. Thank you for your understanding!

Flip Video!

Hey everybody! Hip, hooray for Black Friday! I went out at all the crazy hours of the evening/morning to obtain a Flip Video Camera! I'm excited, and you should be too! With this we are going to start doing our 10 Minute Terrain Segments again as well as begin recording Battle Reports, probably in the Bell of Lost Souls style. We may try a few different things; but we'll just have to wait and see how that goes.

Happy Turkey Day!

For those celebrating this fantastic holiday of stuffing onesself to the gills, happy turkey day ya'll!

2. News/Rumors : GW F.A.Q.'s
   
3. Feature : 1250...
   

As per the usual we start off the show by thanking our numerous sponsors. Singularly this time was a sponsorship from Dan Nixon as a personal thank you for the contest in which he won the 8th Edition BRB. We cover what we've been doing which hasn't been a ton before getting to news which is also very slim this week. Considering it's only been a week since our last show I wonder how some other podcasts manage to put out a weekly show.

Our feature segment see's us discussing much more about the small 1250 tournament Chuck ran over the last weekend. We talk about games, thoughts from the players and how we feel it went overall. It isn't a terribly exciting episode; but it's to be expected. How much can somebody really accomplish in 1 week.

First off, apologies for the late show. We recorded it twice, the first time recording difficulties and a poor show topic made me choose not to put it out. So while this is a week late you can expect our episode #48 to be out on it's regularly scheduled date so next Monday. We jump into the show with our sponsor's and a personal sponsorship by Jamie Searle who asks you to visit and support MOVEMBER! You can look him up and support him financially in raising money for cancer research. We go over Chucks last tournament games and I discuss a couple of practice games I got in for an upcoming 1250 tournament.

We hit up news and rumors with a mention of the O&G pushback, the White Dwarf subscription model; we then hit up the GW Christmas givewaway, a quick chat about the two tower terrain pieces they've released and finally end out on the Cool Mini or Not/Adepticon painting contests and check out the new Avatars of War Dwarf Berserker news! For our feature segment we find ourselves discussing the 1250 tournament that Chuck will have run by the time this show is out and why we chose to do some certain things such as low points, which scenario's, etc...

We start out with our usual sponsors Tales of Battle, Gryfalia's Aerie, Capital City Games and our singular sponsor Rob Ehlers who sponsored to give a big shout out to the Arizona Miniature War Gamers at http://www.wargameraz.com. Definitely worth checking out if your in Arizona. Were joined this Episode by Chucks friend Jacob from Bloomington as they just finished a couple of games before recording and he figured he'd sit in and thought its always good to have a new voice now and then.

We discuss our weeks and then move on to our usual news/rumors which we talk about a lot of stuff that Games Workshop is rolling out towards the end of November or early next year. Lots of good stuff. We then kick over to our main topic where we discuss the personal dangers and safety when using our hobby tools. I know plenty of other shows have done it, but I figured since we never have and I nearly put my eye out recently it would be worth talking about.

Tower of Sorcery

The new sorceress towers that are due out late in November. Look really good, the top two of the picture by the way. It's the same model, but the one on the left apparently is an option of how to put it together. $66 USD.

Duldrum...

So, I'm sure anyone reading this will note that I tend not to post much on the blog other than the episodes and other things that I think are really pertinent to it, but I couldn't help myself. I've been so excited about building a new army and for a number of reasons, cost, conversions, models, paint schemes, size, oh it's good stuff. Skaven baby, apparently they are where I'm at... So let's fill in on what I've managed to procure.

After our Game Group discount from our FLGS (10%) I paid around $97 after tax for the Island of Blood. I traded my High Elves to Chuck for his Skaven. I traded a box of Ogre Ironguts (bought from our local with discount) so around $37 for a 3rd set of Skaven. I procured a last edition Screaming Bell for $20 which I will use to convert a much cooler and larger one. I also got a box of Rat Ogres from our FLGS for painting their 40K starter Orks and finally dragged the 10 Giant Rats from my old Warhammer Quest set. So for a grand total of $154 I have gotten:

3 Warpfire Throwers
3 Poisoned Wind Mortars
3 units of 20 Clanrats with HW/Sh
3 units of 20 Clanrats with Sp/Sh
6 Rat Ogres
19 Giant Rats
6 Packmasters
3 Warlords
3 Warlock Engineers
(Note: I didn't count the Rat Ogres themselves that I got for painting the starter set as I'm going to use those for an abomination.)

Obviously this as it stands isn't a very good looking (same model over and over again) or effective (small units and ineffective equipment) army. To that I've gone through and worked out some serious changes to what I have. Currently I've formed up:

2 Units of 26 Clanrats with HW/Sh (with a unit filler count as 30)
1 Unit of 30 Clanrats with Sp/Sh (with a unit filler count as 34)
1 Unit of 30 Stormvermin with Sh (with a unit filler count as 34)
1 Unit of 5 Rat Ogres with 2 Packmasters
1 Unit of 19 Giant Rats with Packmaster
1 Warlord on Bonebreaker
1 Greyseer
1 Screaming Bell
1 Battle Standard Bearer
2 Warlock Engineer's (1 with Warp Energy Condenser, 1 with Doom Rocket)

Obviously I have to start somewhere right... About a 2500 point army. So I've started on the models that most excited me and those would be the Island of Blood Rat Ogres. I started with the Bonebreaker conversion and just recently finished doing the main work on the 3 Rat Ogres that I wanted to change. The other 2 can stay as they were for mixed variation. As far as unit fillers are concerned I'm not a huge proponent of them, but I think they can add a lot to the look of the army and while I don't intend to use them too terribly often I am going to use them to add to the overall theme. That isn't to say I disapprove of their use, I mean, it's an expensive hobby and if it fits thematically then cool. I'm not overly fond of the people who use a 40mm base and a skeleton to represent 4 of them, but you'll never hear me tell an opponent to not use it. I also didn't list Weapons Teams in there as I plan on changing them up quite often and converting a lot since they currently have no models.

If your interested in any of the work please check out the forum (links over to the right) and down near the bottom you'll find the painting hobby threads and there is one in there for my Skaven progress. I'd put them up here, but limited ability at work computer means I can't. Let me know what you think and throw any suggestions out there.

On a differnet yet still the same topic, GW did just announce that they will be bringing out more new Skaven models in January of 2011. While this is great news it sucks that its so far away. Also the fact that they've given no hint as to what's coming is a bummer. One would imagine that a lot of the rumors are garbage, but I'm hoping at least for a new Rat Ogre kit as the currents are absolutely deplorable when compared to the Island of Blood set. Also a plastic abomination while nice seems like a little far from GW's usual throw for me. I mean they haven't given the Chaos their Warshrine or any of the Rare slots for Beastmen so who knows... I would think the rest of the weapons teams in plastic would be a boon, especially the little ball of death thats name escapes me at the moment.

The point of this thread? I'm excited... Can you tell?

This Episode is brought to you by our regular Sponsors: Tales of Battle and Gryfalia's Aerie; and singularly by Miel Vermeulen who wanted to shout out that Wisconson is going to beat Illinois this year in the IL. Vs. WI yearly challenge! We discuss a fair amount of news and a little bit of rumor. The last of the Demons preparing to release, and the Island of Blood Pre-Order! The re-release of the WH Starter Paint set, and finally finish this section off with some rumors of O&G incoming and 2nd wave High Elf plastics. Lastly a couple novels from Black Library and the realization that the 8th Edition Army Builder files are finally up for download.

For our feature segment we bring on some guests who we never expected to convince to be on the show. The infamous wives! Sadly, balancing 4 microphones is difficult so the voices kind of go in and out a lot. Particularly mine since I have headphones on I can't tell how loud my own voice is. This time, it was kind of light. Still... We thought that we would really break up the usual show with some discussion topics that may not apply to the game in general but more with how on earth those of us with wifes/girlfriends/significant others manage to get hobby and gaming in and what our wives think of it. We answer a lot of questions that were submitted just by users so this is all things that you listeners wanted to ask them. We appreciate the questions that you sent in and you should send some supportive e-mail for the wives to let them know that you enjoyed listening to them.

3. Feature : 'Ard Boy'z Thoughts on Dwarfs, VC, and some rambling...
   

This Episode has a couple things changed. One we've attempted to bring Chucks loud voice down into level with my own. I know, two years; I guess we could finally work on that issue huh. We go over our weeks in the hobby, mostly gaming 8th edition and looking at new lists. We discuss the Isle of Blood Contents and what we think of the models; the Tale of Two Gamers blog on the GW; the BRB FAQ that GW released just last week and finally Lone Wolf's announcement of the Army Builder 3.3 Patch.

For our main topic we start out discussing what we feel 'Ard Boy'z will be like with 8th edition and what we think we'll see at the tournaments. This leads to us discussing what we plan on fielding and how we plan on countering things and very quickly falls apart to our rambling about our armies and the way we think they are or are not effective in 8th edition. Hopefully some people will find something interesting here.

2. Listener E-mail/Comments : Abolished
   
3. News/Rumors : Contest Winners, Garagehammer, Sea of Blood Contents
4. Feature : Man 'O War!

Show begins with talk of our weeks as per usual. A few 8th Edition games Chuck's direction while mostly nothing mine. Very busy as of late with family and other things. We move quickly through this to email/comments which we point out is being eliminated for a while, so that we can muster our knowledge of 8th so we don't answer too many questions incorrectly. Finally we hit some news/rumors; first we announce the winners from our multiple contests, then quickly drop a word about a new WHFB podcast out there and finally round it up with discussion of the contents of Sea of Blood! from a link on the Bell of Lost Souls.

Our feature segment sees us visiting a classic game from the GW line-up: Man 'O War! For those unfamiliar with it as I was also up until about 5 months ago when I procured a copy, think of Battleflet Gothic for 40K, only with sail boats and Fantasy races. Chuck and I play a game and then give a quick rundown of the basic rules, how things work and what we thought of it. Just something we thought would make for a nice change of pace while 7th edition was dying down before the big gear up for 8th!

Happy 4th of July America

Happy 4th of July for all you in America!

8th Edition Isle of Blood Starter Set

Well the GW newsletter announced that the box will come out in Sept. and also that the mini rulebook would indeed be in it (fantastic considering the superfluous information contained in the big book). Also they all but confirmed the races as they attached the following picture:

8th ed discussion show

I've spent a 3-1/2 hour time line in front of the book last night and took 9 pages of notes. Chuck and I will record this evening; and post hopefully LATE this evneing unedited and uncut so that you; the listeners can download Thursday morning and hear what's up! I am excited.

WHFB 8th Ed. Prices

Some pictures of stuff have been making the trails along with some prices in Euro's for those not keeping track. After conversions; prices are estimated as such.



Warhammer Rulebook 60€ : $72
Engineer's Measures Set 22.5€ : $27
Warhammer Templates 6.5€ : $8
Warhammer Battle Magic 7.75€ : $9
Warhammer Markers 10.5€ : $13
Warhammer Skull dice 9.1€ : $11

Interesting notes; the new templates look pretty boss; apparently there going to put out a magic deck. This either indicates back to random drawing of cards for spells or that there just going to make a handy dandy deck of cards for reference; kind of neat. Markers and Dice seem to look okay; the engineers measuring set doesn't make sense to me; but I'm sure once we figure out the new war machine rules it will. Anyway; kind of neat to see this. No work as to whether this will be sold as a special Splash release or not; but since they did it for 7th ed. and 5th ed. 40K I imagine it will be.

Memorial Day: Remember

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

For News/Rumors we discuss the announcements from both Games Workshop and Mantic Games going over the Price Increases for 2010. Link to Mantics announcement below. We also take a look at the new Avatar of War Dwarf Lord and have a mention of GW's announcement of 2nd wave Demons coming in July. Finally we basically ramble for a while about our reasons for not only being in the hobby, but the reasons that we keep playing but why we feel we will continue to play.
