Combat Phase

We talk news, games played and hobby. Then we start a new segment we hope to revisit with listener submissions/questions  and the long list we still have. In the spirit of the old comic book franchise "What If?" Combat Phase looks at how one would bring to the tabletop cross-overs or your favorite battles from history, fantasy or sci-fi. Want to play that cool battle from your favorite movie? We explore the models and game system you could use!

 
Please share your thoughts and ideas for the next Combat Phase What If

We talk news, games played, hobby and Kenny talks about the Fantasia Fanatic event in Sweden. After our normal intro stay tuned for coverage of the event, including roving coverage, interviews and all the people who beat me...which is everyone. Sorry, could not get awards audio as my Swedish was not that good:)

We talk news, games played and hobby updates. Kenny is prepping for a last-minute inclusion in the Fantasia Fanatic in Sweden where he will play Trollbloods in 6 Warmachine/Hordes games. We talk about gaming clubs in Sweden vs. the U.S. or what we know about UK clubs from podcasts. It's interesting to think about what vocabulary is used and replaced in other countries...

We do a mid-year (kinda) check in on the hobby progress we pledged and semi-failed. Robert has some work to do.

Enjoy

Lucky number 113.  And Robert is still at the editing controls.  Kenny is still in Sweden and it's getting to him.  We talk some news, some games played and then we serve up a heap of interviews from Mike "Shades" Schaefer from the NOVA Open.  Finally we close out the show with the return of Ask A Hobby Expert who shares some building foundations with Kenny.

Kenny is in Sweden, and Robert is rocking the controls...er...sort of.  In Episode 112 we discuss a bit of news, Kenny's travels and then Kenny has a great interview with Rob Sanders about his recent Black Library releases.  Robert apologies for the slightly choppy edits - he's been able to make Kenny do all of them until now.

We talk news, games played and hobby. This is our Canadian Extravaganza! We love us some canucks;)

 

Adam joins us first to talk Age of Sigmar fiction, what we know so far from the BL books and the fluff GW books. Then the folks at Age of Darkness podcast come on. Our first audio with them was lost in the warp so only JP joins Kenny for this interview to talk Heresy, no matter where you live in the world.

Enjoy!

Here it is! This episode combines all the fiction interviews from the End Times plus the never-before aired Return of Nagash (book 1) interview. The rest of these have been on previous episodes of Combat Phase but enjoy them here.

If you didn't care about the ET or the fluff but now want to know what preceeded Age of Sigmar then this is for you. Or if you wanted the story but not to read the campaign books, this is for you. Or, you just plain have good taste:)

Get the ebooks or hardback or paperback books on www.blacklibrary.com. There are also bundle deals for the Ebooks at an actual discount!

Enjoy!
