Combat Phase

Ep 125 - Year End Review Pt. 2: Trends Intervention & Development; Ask a Hobby Expert: AoS Floating Waterfall Island w/Steve Herner

 
We talk end of the year news and hobby. Kenny discusses his first game of the Batman miniatures game before we launch into the second part of our epic 2015 review where we look this time at trends in the hobby and how 2015 unfolded for the industry and wide panoply of games. "The Year of Surprises" involved a Games Workshop Intervention and how much change 2015 brought, and where we might be headed. Further, we begin setting up the conversation of community development and the rise of so many new games in the wake of the end of Warhammer 8th ed. Finally, we welcome back a friend of the show...
 
Ask a Hobby Expert returns with the Holy Hammer himself, Steve Herner coming back on the show to explain his brilliant new piece of AoS terrain: the floating waterfall island for play on top and below.

Women in Wargaming!

We talk news and games played very briefly but are eager to jump right into our topic of the week: Women and Wargaming! This is reflecting the characters and units, not the sex of the player his/herself. We have added more interviews so we will follow this episode up in January or February 2016. 
 
As so many wargames have female characters we highlight some games, the role of female characters in the fluff, and some model choices for your female characters or conversions. We are joined by BL author James Swallow talking Sisters of Battle in 30K - 40K, as well as Garro (now with model!) and his upcoming works. Ronnie Renton of Mantic games joins us next for a great discussion about the wonderful worlds of Mantic Games for female characters in these properties. He's a fantastic guest:)

We say FW open day by accident. Robert's research failed to pull the correct name, since we took from faulty sources ourselves. Definitely nothing to do with age/senility. For sure...

 

We talk news, games played for us both *yay!* hobby and look at 1) 40K Open Day, closing at the time of this recording, check out pics and news on Imperial Truth Facebook page; and 2) Kenny is looking for a site, channel, podcast, interpretive dance troupe, whatever to present episodic and entertaining pieces of Warmahordes fluff to those without all the books and who want to at least stay up on the evolving metaplot as new books come out. If you have something, please let us know.

 

Fredde Bergström comes on to talk about the ever-growing Facebook group 30K Sweden has branched out beyond Sweden -- worldwide -- and is a great venue for all games looking at HH before spending any money to those seeking all levels of the hobby to those needing expert level advice or organizing events.

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!
