Combat Phase

We talk news, hobby and games played. Some Dark Age stuff coming at Gen Con. There's some housekeeping stuff we discuss. Kenny recaps the second local Horus Heresy weekender and why narrative gaming like this is so amazing and recommended. 

 
Marucs Pitt comes back on the show again to discuss the newest Heresy novel, Deathfire, by Nick Kyme. SPOILERS, as always with the novels. Interview is last portion of this episode.
 
 
Enjoy!

We talk  news, hobby, and games played. Kenny played an 11,000 pt. game of Warhammer 8th ed. to end the game (officially) on a high note. Robert played many many board games. Then we talk Age of Sigmar, Kenny and Conesy of WiscoDice played Age of Sigmar with dwarfs vs. Dark Elfs Monday and they give their thoughts on the game. First impressions, we don't have the boxed game in-hand yet but used warscrolls. Lots of insight!

Kenny gives baby's first rant in response to the ridiculous hate surrounding the internet and anything GW, a toxic environment we hope doesn't hinder growth of the hobby. 

Finally we close with some highlights of Warhammer 8th ed. and our best, worst and epic memories.

We talk news, hobby (oodles of hobby!) and games played. Then launch into a discussion about ... difficult games. You've probably had them, awesome if you haven't. This continues into what happens if there's a major change in a game system, referencing Epic versions in GW but thinking about Age of Sigmar for Fantasy.
