KnightsCast: A Kill Team 40k Podcast

The KnightsCast crew return with a quick chat!   In the first half, Jesse discusses his exuberant, unchecked, unfiltered fandom for the upcoming Necron releases.   In the second half, Ben and Will discuss the problems that years of pent up exuberant, unchecked, unfiltered fandom (and corporate interference) can bring.   Thank you all for your continued listenership and support!

In this episode of a podcast on the internet in which grown men discuss the merits of plastic men whose fates are determined by random chance:   Good Friend Ben comes round to talk about our dear old friend Kill Team and how two wound marines might affect list building in the game.   Then, emerging from the forest like the elder men of deep and ancient lore: Aaron chats about what's got him all flustered and thinking of long term relationships with post human warriors who tote the biggest guns around!   Like the Parrots of Pasadena, hey it's Ben again!    And then....again! How exciting!   Finally, Will drops off the top turnbuckle to try to make sense of all of this Space Marine stuff. He also makes a prediction about the future of our most beloved game.    Thanks for listening!
