BCW EP14

Hey kids!

Happy Holidays!

We're back with our Christmas special that was actually recorded a couple of weeks ago. It's a good one, and we discuss the best and worst of 2012 in wargaming. Which had the better year - 40K or Fantasy? Which were the best minis? Who was the most handsome? Find out this and much more in this episode!

Enjoy!

BCW EP13

Hey kids!

Bull - hook! WE ARE BACK! Sorry for the extended delay, but Tom has been vacationing, sick, moving house in a week, fighting buffalo and every other excuse under the sun.

To reward your patience, we've got a bumper episode full of stuff. There's a WFB Warriors of Chaos Army Book review, Battle for the Abyss in the Horus Heresy Book Club, a delightful discussion on your top 5 video games and the best part, Michael Penny's Random Fact of the Week.

Enjoy!

You ask, we answer

Hey chaps,

Again, apologies for the delay in recording. We're nearly there and will be recording at the weekend. We'll be talking about Warriors of Chaos following their recent WD update. We're looking to do a full book review, so email or let us know on the forums if there's any questions you have for us about the Norse madmen.

Happy Thanksgiving!

To our American listeners, Happy Thanksgiving!

Sorry for the delay of game with getting episode 13 out to you. It shouldn't be much longer until it's out and in your earholes, with a review of the Warriors of Chaos book, amongst other things.

BCW EP12

Hey kids!

Sorry for the delay of game in getting episode 12 out into your earholes, but Tom's parent's are in town and he hasn't had a chance until now to do so.

This episode is a listener special, and we've got a lot to go through. In there we try and work out the best video games ever, whether a Mangler Squig is worthy of the Citadel Hall of Fame and why Penfold is better than Danger Mouse ever will be.

Secondly, we talk you through the Compbreaker Challenge, where Tom's Ogres take on Ben's Wood Elves in a bloody battle to the end.

There's also a review of the latest Chaos releases for Warhammer, we talk Legion in the Horus Heresy Book Club and we attempt to do a live version of Warhammer Trivia which may or may not be any good. Plus Michael Penny's Random Fact of The Week!

Enjoy!

First official BCW battle report

Hey kids,

We're really kicking up steam here at BCW Towers, and have our first proper battle report (with our logo and everything!) where I take on Geoff Geoffson and his Dark Elves.



I since found out that Geoff's list had a comp score of 3. Whether that affected the result of things or not, you be the judge.

Enjoy!

BCW EP11

Hey kids,

We're back with another episode of fun and games, and the guys are in a particularly tangential mood this time. They talk about, amongst other things, Southern Overlord 2013, Brawler Bash 6, the first real bad Horus Heresy novel, baseball, X-Com, purse snatching and the relative merits of drinking wine. There's the other usual stuff, though note that I wasn't able to put in the music for Here's The Thing as apparently Audacity is having an off day.

ENJOY!

BCW Episode 8 Linkstorm

Hey kids, here are the links from Episode 8.

Here's a link to the Southern Assault tourney. Go sign up now!

 

What: Southern Assault Warhammer Fantasy Grand Tournament

When: Saturday, October 6, 2012 - Sunday, October 7, 2012

Points: 2500

Where: Parker, Banner, Kent and Wayne, 21500 Catawba Ave. Suite A, Cornelius, NC 28031

Why: More details here

Notes: Don't forget that you'll need to pre-register for the tourney by September 23 to receive the extra sportsmanship points

 

Secondly, Atomic Empire is having their Grand Opening on September 29. Ben and I'll be there doing demos of Warhammer Fantasy and 40K and there are free dice on offer! Come join us! Details here: Link!

You may have seen most of these already, but here's what we discussed in the News and Rumors section:

New White Dwarf: Link!
Incarnate Elemental of Fire: Link!
Forge World Games Day stuff:  Link!

Lastly, a little spoiler. I was going to post a few pics of my army progress up in this post, but I think they'll be more suited to the Episode 9 Linkstorm as the upcoming Episode is all about army painting and how we've been getting on. We're recording this Sunday, and have got a plan to have it out and in your ears by Wednesday.

BCW EP8

Hey kids!

We finally got there. This episode almost broke me as we had a computer crash that forced me to recompile the data from around 800 10-30 second chunks of data. You'll notice that the audio quality isn't so hot in places and that there's no music on the cast this time - again, apologies, but we figured that a podcast, even with bad audio, is better than no podcast!

Anyway, the cast itself is actually really good, with the lads discussing 2 day tournament tips, the Orclympics, the Horus Heresy and a lot of good stuff in between.

Thank you so much for your patience on this one - the linkstorm will follow later today with pics, links and all sorts of goodness.

Tom
