Weekly News #9 - 26th June 2020 - #MechWeek!!

Last week was #MechWeek2020.  Because I decided it was.  First time ever.  Decidedly underwhelming, I know, but whatever.

So I have a chat about mechs, and why I think they're awesome, even when they're stupid.

Weekly News #8 - 19th June 2020 - Game-Agnostic Miniatures

There's been a lot of chat about miniatures-agnostic games, lately, so I instead take a look at game-agnostic miniatures instead, this week.

 

Manufacturers mentioned are:

 

Puppetswar 

Anvil Industry 

Hasslefree Miniatures 

Monster Fight Club - and their Kickstarter 

Acid House Terrain 

Troublemaker Games - and their Kickstarter 

 

I also mention GW, FFG and Corvus Belli, but you should all know where to find them, by now...

 

Weekly News #7 - 12th June 2020 - Why So Serious?

I completely forgot to post this week's podcast on Monday!  No idea how that happened.  Won't happen again.  But episode 8 will be up on Monday.

A shorter episode, now, as I chill out a bit.

Do we take our games too seriously sometimes?  I ponder where such things can lead, why we shouldn't let it and look at a few new and emerging products that aim to help us keep a sense of proportion when we play with our dolls.

Weekly News #5 - 29th May 2020 - GW, 40k and the Elephant in the Wargaming Room

When GW announces a new edition of Warhammer 40,000 it's hard for anyone else to get a word in edgewise in the tabletop miniatures wargaming world.

In this episode, we look at why this is the case, why people play 40k at all, and how this affects small creators fighting for a slice of the pie.
