Episode 48: Blood Bowl

wapcaplets — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:25:14 +0000

Blood Bowl is the most fun game that Games Workshop has ever produced. It’s a game of football in the world of Warhammer and you have to be an idiot not to like it. OK, maybe not, but I like it a lot. As mentioned in the show, check out Shadowforge Miniatures (click on “products” and then “gridiron” to see their Blood Bowl miniatures) and the Spooky Outhouse Showcase.

Episode 47: Army Composition

wapcaplets — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 17:07:11 +0000

I’ve gotten back into Warhammer Fantasy and I’m really surprised at the way that subjective army composition is scored on the tournament scene. If you play Games Workshop games you should really give World’s End Radio and Podhammer a listen. They’re both great shows from the land down under and have great, in-depth discussion about GW games. Podhammer is entirely focused on Warhammer Fantasy and World’s End Radio talks about the entire range of GW games and occasionally even games outside of the GW line of games.

Episode 46: Wizards Ceases PDF Sales

Wizards recently gave their customers the finger and ceased PDF sales. Hardly late-breaking news but still worth discussing! CLICK HERE to check out David Spark’s “Be The Voice” blog and podcast. It’s nothing to do with gaming but it’s interesting stuff!
