Episode 48 – Painting the Bare Minimum Standard for And-epticon

Sponsored by Unique Gifts & Games, The Game Preserve, Ursa’s Den,  Battlefoam, and Weird Worlds Terrain

The Garage ManaGeR segment is sponsored by Chaos Orc’s Superstore

Shout out sponsor Edward Carpenter

So here is our coverage of everything we did at Adepticon, or as I like to call it Andepticon (in honor of Andrew Sherman recording all those interviews before and then broadcasting live video 24/7 from both the Fantsasy and 40K rooms and recording all weekend and editing in the evenings and providing many of us with a place to crash in the evenings. Honestly, he’s a great guy and did a great job. Now that Dieter fella…..well, just listen to the Ohiohammer voicemail to hear what people thought of that!

Hope you enjoy!

Episode 47B – More the Empire!

Sponsored by Unique Gifts & Games, The Game Preserve, Ursa’s Den,  Battlefoam, and Weird Worlds Terrain

The Garage ManaGeR segment is sponsored by Chaos Orc’s Superstore

Shout out sponsor Mark Zielinski

So this episode is long. Like really long. Like stupid long. Like almost 6 hours. So here’s the second half as promised.

We didn’t plan it this way, so part A just ends and part B just starts without any proper close/restart. Sorry about that. Also, I had a voice mail form Grant about  Blood in the Sun, but something went wonky so that’s going on our next episode.

So…really, you COULD look at this as a bonus extra episode instead of as a really long episode since we could have made this half Episode 48. Right? Right.

You’re welcome.

Hope you enjoy!

Cranky talks about Extra Life. Come join Team Cranky!

Christopher bows out here as he’s too sick to continue recording…so Cranky and I talk about our hobbying. David talks a bit about his practice game for the team tournament with Grant. Breakin’ The Maw!!!!

57:40-1:00:12 – David and Cranky begin discussing the new “How to Paint Citadel Miniatures” book and DVD.

1:00:12-1:00:47 – Commercial Break 2

1:00:47-1:13:50 – We continue talking about “How to Paint Citadel Miniatures.”

1:13:50-1:30:00 – EMPIRE! The cover and the fluff!

1:30:00-2:05:37 – Empire special rules and the imperial armoury

Ok, so I admit that Cranky and I kinda go theory-hammer crazy with these rules, but these rules are one of the things that give the Empire their flavor (and we here at Garagehammer think there may be more here than initially meets the eye). We also find out that David is rather obsessed with Pigeon Bombs.

2:05:37-2:06:27 – Commercial Break 3

2:06:27-3:09:40 – Empire Lords and Heroes!

Christopher is back, but now Cranky is gone…

Before we get to the Lords and Heroes Christopher gets in his ideas about detachments and then David sidetracks into the art from the book for just two minutes. Finally, Lords and Heroes!

Episode 47A – For the Empire!

Sponsored by Unique Gifts & Games, The Game Preserve, Ursa’s Den,  Battlefoam, and Weird Worlds Terrain

The Garage ManaGeR segment is sponsored by Chaos Orc’s Superstore

Shout out sponsor Mark Zielinski

So this episode is long. Like really long. Like stupid long. Like almost 6 hours. So here’s the first half and the second half will be out tomorrow.

We didn’t plan it this way, so part A just ends and part B just starts without any proper close/restart. Sorry about that. Also, I had a voice mail form Grant about  Blood in the Sun, but something went wonky so that’s going on our next episode.

This was a really bizarre episode. We have the Cranky Lawyer on, and lose Christopher to illness. Then we stop before getting into the meat of the Empire book so as not to lose Christopher’s perspective, and when we get back to recording, Cranky can’t make it. So we start with three hosts, then lose one, then get that one back and lose the other.

Anyway, we talk about “Extra Life” (gaming for charity) that Cranky has joined (and gotten us all on his team). Then we discuss our hobby, and finally get into the Empire book. There’s a lot in the book that we have questions and opinions on, so there’s more talk here than is usual even for us. Some of it might be practical and some of it might turn out to be silly. Either way, there are our first impressions and we hope that you find them interesting and maybe (hopefully) we gave you something to think about that you hadn’t when you first read it.  Finally, sorry about the delay with this episode, but I was getting ready for Adepticon, and when I got back, you can imagine the nightmare that was editing this and making it work. Rest assured, we are planning on having Episode 48 out on the 10th as scheduled.

So…really, you COULD look at this as a bonus extra episode instead of as a really long episode since we could have made the second half of this Episode 48. Right? Right.

You’re welcome.

Hope you enjoy!

Episode 46 -Talkin’ Some Painting

Sponsored by Unique Gifts & Games, The Game Preserve, Ursa’s Den,  Battlefoam, and Weird Worlds Terrain

The Garage ManaGeR segment is sponsored by Chaos Orc’s Superstore

Shout out sponsor Joel Busta

Since the “Talkin’ Some ‘Hammer” format of just rambling along met with some decent listener response, we decided to give it another go. In this episode, we are joined by Chris Yu and we all start talking about painting. We had a few notes on topics and styles and whatnot, but really it was just a bunch of phrases that we used as a jumping off point to talk about whatever came up. We kind of decided that most of us don’t need to be told what a brush is or how to start painting, and we just started to jibber jabber about what we do when we paint.

It’s kind of all over the placed and unstructured (even for us) but we stay on topic so at least it’s hobby focused. Hope you enjoy!

Episode 44 – Famous Wood Elves and Warrios

Sponsored by Unique Gifts & Games, Unseen Lerker, The Game Preserve, Ursa’s Den,  Battlefoam, and Weird Worlds Terrain

The Garage ManaGeR segment is sponsored by Chaos Orc’s Superstore

So this episode we revisit our special characters coverage, this time showing tow very different types of characters. First are characters that just didn’t translate over from 7th to 8th edition (Wood Elves) and next are characters that are still viable despite the changes between editions (Warriors of Chaos).

Hope you enjoy!

Show Index

0:00-8:26 – Intro and Welcome.
In an attempt to be a more focused, Warhammer oriented show and not waste time and make the show too long, we start screwing around and fail miserably.  Then after thanking our sponsors, we have to congratulate friend and show sponsor Bryan Steele on some good news!

8:26-9:53 – Commercial Break One

9:53-25:00 – News and Rumors
Forge World stuff, Mantic Warpath 8^th army,

25:00-1:19:23 – Garage ManaGeR section brought to you by Chaos Orc Superstore
Christopher was sick so he didn’t get to model or read.  David, in typical feast or famine fashion, builds and primes more models than he has any right to in so short a time. We both talk about a game we got in this week as well as updating our Blood Bowl league. Finally, David has a few thank you shout outs before going to commercial.

1:19:24-1:20:58 – Commercial Break Two

1:20:58-1:52:47 – Wood Elf Special Characters
The thing we realize more than anything from going over these characters, is that they are a prime example of something that simply didn’t translate into 8^th Edition Warhammer. Sad really, because these three all have potential.

1:52:47-1:54:08 – Commercial Break Three

1:54:08-2:54:53 – Warriors of Chaos Special Characters
So we found another rare “broken” character (can you guess who?) but we also found out that Warriors have several cool special characters that could be competitive without making your opponent cry. Almost a dozen special characters and they all add interesting fluff and themes to your army… the polar opposite of the Wood Elf characters.

Episode 43 – Talkin’ Some ‘Hammer

Sponsored by Unique Gifts & Games, Unseen Lerker, The Game Preserve, Ursa’s Den,  Battlefoam, and Weird Worlds Terrain

Shout out Sponsor – The Zielinski family

The Garage ManaGeR segment is sponsored by Chaos Orc’s Superstore

So this episode we just decided that we wanted to hang out and talk about what we’ve been learning about our armies. So Chris talked a little about Chaos Dwarfs and then we started talking Vampires and Christopher was interested because he started asking questions so then I talked more about them and then we were done. Like about 4 1/2 hours later. Of course, we left the recording going during breaks and all we kept it on the shorter side of 3 hours (and 3:27 and change is good for us!) this night.

I kinda think I rambled on a bit, but if I cut anymore the editing would become more obvious, so I figured “What the hell?” and just put it out without another pruning.

It seemed interesting to us, but this show just illustrates what a night with the two of us hanging out sans microphones is like.

Hope you enjoy!

36:55-37:45 – Commercial Break 2

37:45- 1:51:58 – Garage ManaGeR section
