Hobby Night in Canada

This week we tackle such controversial topics as chapter approved, the Atlanta Pro Tournament and how to make your current terrain work for Necromunda

This week the gang talks about why they are so excited about Necromunda all of the sudden, how they are coping with all of the releases and FAQ's that GW is putting out and the amazing new Sisters of Battle.

During this episode the gang discusses the new Psychic Awakening release, playing in team tournaments and takes a sober second look at colourshift paints.

On this podcast we talk about the new fall 40k FAQ, A painting class Ward attended put on by LAN studios and how the new Space Marine Codex is shaking up the competitive landscape.

This week we talk about tiny planes and have our first ever repeat guest Matt Chaffee talk to us about all things infinity.

We keep marching along towards being caught up on old episodes, with this one covering the Blood Diamond Chalice BloodBowl event, the 40k Big FAQ for spring 2019, White Dwarf Ynnari update, and some ideas for hobby supplies from unconventional sources.

This week's episode has a certain theme to it -- culture. We talk about one of the really cool local gaming events (Pow Town), veer off into video game territory a little bit to discuss the EA/BioWare culture shift, and bring it back around to talk about developing a good gaming culture at home.

We're working through the backlog of old episodes, starting with this discussion of updated 8th Edition codices for 40k, the Doom of Molech expansion for Titanicus, and (at long last) non-Imperial terrain.

You'll never guess who went to another Bloodbowl tournament (Cry Fowl Cup)! We also dig into some hobby content, specifically some ideas for converting Imperial Assassins so you don't have to spend $300. To wrap things up we talk about how your army/collection evolves over time, and then we close with a quick review of Paint Pucks that Ward grabbed at the LVO.

The band is back together again, so that means it's time for some post-LVO chat! There's a section on scratch-building terrain sandwiched in between Steve and Ward's LVO rundown and a discussion about painting to a rubric for best presentation. As usual, we have some strong feels about that.

Army painting is top of mind in this final pre-LVO episode. The Warhound Titan list from 40k gets us chatting about skew lists before we break into the hobby content, talking about Army Painter washes and the idea that maybe finishing a Warmachine faction isn't as easy as we'd like to think.

For this week's episode of "seriously, what can we talk about besides GW?", we start off with an in-depth look at the beta rules for Astartes Boltguns before moving into other hard-hitting topics like tournament prep for LVO and generally what are we looking forward to in 2019.

First new episode of 2019! We do the lazy thing with a 2018 retrospective, but there's plenty of legit new content as we drool over the new gobbos and squigs from AoS, and also chat about all the fun to be had with Vigilus Defiant.

Another episode during the holidays? It's a Christmas miracle! Matt Chaffee joins us this week to talk about Canada's first Infinity Satellite event, Colder Than Carbonite! We also review the Vigilus and Chapter Approved supplements for 40k, and talk about how we can build up the next generation of gamers.

Is it just me or is it getting a little festive in here? We joke about some holiday hot takes before giving a proper review to Blackstone Fortress and discussing the merits of Frisket Film, which is an airbrush masking product 4/5 of us never heard of before. Listen and find out what the heck it is!

Another episode without adult supervision (aka Mike) means we go a tiny bit off-topic at times, but join us to hear more ramblings about the new Orks, GW's new line of sex toys (just in time for the holidays!), and more love for Blackstone Fortress which looks super cool.

With Wardo off climbing mountains in Peru, we get to talk about Onslaught behind his back! The discussion also includes a big rant about salty Orktober fans, and some first impressions from Adeptus Titanicus.

For this episode, the discussion mostly revolves around the AMPSA paint weekend in Red Deer. We also have a chat about the 40k Big FAQ from a few weeks ago.

It seems like you can't go a week without a new GW starter set coming out! We talk about Nightvault and Wake the Dead before recapping some recent tournaments in Edmonton and discussing the streams/video battle reports them young'uns are talking about these days.

In the aftermath of the NOVA Open, we talk about the big 40k events -- official support and how do players build an army with looming FAQ changes on every horizon? We also review the Titanicus and Kill Team terrain sets now that we've had some hands-on experience.

Lots of good ranting this time around, as we wrap up the episode with a steaming pile of hot takes. Before that, we talk about ITC vs. rulebook scenarios for 40k, and (of course) #Orktober!

Honestly this episode is like 90% Adeptus Titanicus because why the heck wouldn't it be? That game looks awesome!

We reach a milestone with our 100th episode, and we do it in style with a very special guest joining us via Skype to talk about the NOVA Charitable Foundation -- Dave Taylor! Slightly more mundane topics include Sportsmanship at tournaments, and some of the usual retrospective nonsense.

The blood gets up a little bit in this week's episode, as we talk about a few topics that we've all got some strong feelings about: Age of Sigmar, the ITC Hobby Track, and Kill Team. Even when we're agreeing with each other, it still sounds like we're arguing!

We are back, and with a full roster this week. Tom regales us with tales from Lock & Load (spoiler: he drinks a lot), Steve takes some coaching sessions for 40k competitive play, and Ward goes to his first tournament in ages as a player! Maybe next week Dan will paint a model or something.

Forgive the time warp, but hopefully a discussion about Gretchinz!, the crazy impressive lineup from Warhammer Fest, and talking about Pow Town will be worth it for you listeners out there!

Fresh off their recent class with Sergio Calvo Rubio, Tom and Ward lead the discussion on painting classes (including how to get the most out of them), and we do a quick review of Maelstrom Bloodbowl tokens.

Joining us this week to talk about Shadespire from a bit of a different perspective is Alex! We also dig into the 40k Big FAQ #1 and the Drew Carey Codex (Commorragh rocks!).

For this week's thrilling episode, we sandwich a little Hobby Mail Sack in between yet more 40k discussions. What do we notice as the Index lists continue being replaced with proper codexes, and how has the general awesomeness of the game affected the community? Listen and find out.

This episode we establish a bit of a theme, as we delve into wound tracker etiquette, some tournament results, and then right back into a big tournament etiquette/sportsmanship issue from last month, and finally ending up on some hobby content -- using glass microbeads for some next level water effects.

For this week's episode, we rummage through the Hobby Mail Sack and answer a bunch of hobby questions submitted by you, the listeners! Tom also brings back a classic segment, and later does his best Steve Jobs impression (one more thing!).

This week we lead with some news of TTCombat's Dropzone releases before getting back on our bullshit about the new factions for Shadespire and Thousand Sons for 40k. We really can't help ourselves anymore.

For this week's episode, we keep going deeper down the 40k 8th edition rabbit hole and we're taking you all down with us!

In this post-LVO episode, Tom, Ward and Steve talk about their experiences with the convention (from tournaments and GW studio previews, to hobby seminars and painting competitions!). The main takeaway is that they can't be held accountable for anything that happened that weekend.

In our glorious return to podcasting, we talk at length about the 40k bug that has bitten us all, LVO 2018 plans, and some batshit crazy new years resolutions.

This week's episode, the first recorded in our new Studio B, features special guest Danny H. as we discuss Grymkin for Warmahordes, Greenstuff World's weathering brushes, and Flames of War.

Join us for this week's episode, where we chat about Ward's new weapon of choice for basing, the textured rolling pin, review the 40k Open War card deck, and speculate a little about Dropzone Commander 2nd edition.

In this year's unofficial Lock and Load episode, Tom talks about all the new and shiny things brewing from Privateer Press, and his Hardcore Casual movement for Warmachine.

Another 40k-tastic episode of Hobby Night is here for you. We chat about some of our first games under the new ruleset, thoughts about the armies and their rules, and somewhere in the middle we take a bit of a break to answer some hobby questions from the listeners.

For this episode, we talk about getting your models started right with good base coats, we discuss the surging popularity of Bloodbowl, chat about tokens and objective markers for your games, and finally Tom digs up a true gem from our gaming past. You'll have to listen to find out more on that last one.

Don't ask what happened to episodes 77 and 78. They'll show up eventually. This week we have a hobby mailbag type thing that needs a clever name before we bring it back, we drool over the new Primaris Space Marines for 40k, and we also have a chat about this #workbenchwednesday thing the cool kids are all doing.

The guys just won't stop talking about Dropfleet Commander (I think they like it or something), and we also start pondering what the future has in store for 8th edition Warhammer 40k. Exciting times are ahead!

Better late than never? This episode we talk about the Dropfleet league at Mission, Spring Cleaning, and the end of the PP Press Gang.

We continue our march towards becoming a BattleTech podcast, and begrudgingly also talk about the AMPSA beaver bust and Coolminiornot's Dark Age.

This week's episode is an emotional roller coaster, as we talk about the AoS Vanguard Auxilliary release, Knight Models dropping the Marvel licence, and we review the really handy MacroMat Miniature Backdrops. It's not hard to guess which topic was the sad one, but listen anyway because reasons!

Fresh off a plane is Steve to bring back a report on the LVO down in the States. We also talk about pinning miniatures, and the LVO-inspired topic of how to strategize for shopping at a convention without breaking the bank.

As Ward and Steve finish up LVO prep, we sit down to discuss green stuff and textured basing pads, as well as the next instalment of the Gathering Storm series from Games Workshop! Eldar get a new god, and more vowels!

I don't know if it was deliberate, but we've got the GW hat trick nailed down this week, as we discuss the WarhammerTV Twitch channel, the Triumvirate of the Imperium release for 40k, and whatever the hell Forgeworld is doing with the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings licence!

2016 is finally in the rear-view mirror, and we look ahead to 2017 with hobby resolutions, hits and misses of 2016, and since Ward has a gift certificate to spend, a lively debate about Iwata airbrushes!

In our final episode before the holidays, Dan gives a recap of his trip to Mech Con in Vancouver, and we also discuss the Dystopian Wars Kickstarter and making your own custom tokens for your games.

Ward and Tom start this week off by telling tales from the Banshee painting class, before we all get into a discussion of neoprene (mouse pad) gaming mats and some more casual gaming suggestions for family/holiday get togethers.
