Our 6th podcast, woot! In this one we cover some e-mails, some news, and then dive right into the 5th edition rulebook. We cover all of the major changes, and then in the second half cover all the armies and how we think 5th edition will affect them. Hope you enjoy, and keep the e-mails coming as always ([e-mail]). The poll is for which army do you think we should cover for our first all-army podcast?

We're Nid players, we're biased ;D
Probably be best to leave Space Marines for a while until the New Dex comes out, as they tend to be changed to comply nicely with it.

[The Custodian]

Nice episode... I find it funny how anti nid they are... And Yeh your going to have biased results here...

[rebmonk]

seriouosly though, are there any down sides to nids?

And while i play balanced nids, we have to guys that break anything and both play nidzilla....nuff said

[Aux]

I play balanced nids, swarm, or Nidzilla

But if I'm going to a tourny, I'm bringing Nidzilla

[ryshi]

I reckon my lists are technically zilla, I tend to take 3-4 Mc's total(the lowest point games I normally play are 1500 points), though I do run enough troops in my lists that my troop wounds usually double my MC wounds. I think 5th edition will change my lists significantly though.

[Psychichobo]

I suppose you could say that Nids can tend to rely on cover a bit too much, as if you happen to get a badly arranged and deployed setup (which can happen fairly) then you can get mown down rather easily. I've lost a tremendous amount of nids to shooting even whilst being in cover.

Episode 007 - First Army Cast

The Armycast votes were in:


And we did Eldar! As always it was fun doing a new type of podcast, and well have the kinks worked out when we do the next armycast (and hopefully shorten it a bit). In this podcast we cover Eldar - why to play the army, the pros and cons, good starter lists, combos, tricks, synergies, all the units, and the army box deals. Hopefully this gives newer players an insight into the army as well as some new ideas and tricks to think about for the vets, especially as we convert over to 5th edition. As always if we could have improved in some way send an e-mail at [e-mail]

The poll will still be up for our next army, so please continue to vote (just dont vote on eldar....)

We seem to be having a minor problem with this podcast where some people can download the full podcast, while others can only download 28 minutes of it. I am befuddled, but ill be working on it to try to get it. The sure way though is to check us out on itunes and double click on the podcast underneath, and youll get the 2 hour one. And once my adepticus gets online well sort it out.

And yes, maybe eldar was a bad starter, as they have 32 choices to talk about.

So the mechanicus said some prayers, rubbed some oil, lit some scented candles, and re-uploaded the podcast. And praise the gods it worked!! Seriously, had he not lit those candles, i was unsure of his success...
