Lost to the Nails Podcast

For our second installment of The Nine, it's the ultimate heels: The Word Bearers! We're joined by Calvin from the Privateer Press Gang podcast as we discuss the origins of the 18th Legion, their Heresy era rules, and how none of us play them in 40K!  Fair warning: Brian's kids and technical difficulties made this a Frankenepisode to edit.

LATE, but probably worth the wait!    There was a layer of technical glitches that made this conversation from two months ago extra challenging to edit (on top of "Life Events" (tm)   Join us as we discuss the do's and don'ts of campaigns, review the Siege of Cthonia supplement, and Eric politely telling Brian to stop finding fan-made Heresy supplements. 

Eric and Brian discuss crafting themed lists and how to translate that theme into a coherent visual army that doesn't die screaming in its own fan fiction hell. 

Eric and Brian go off the rails in this three hour discussion of Heresy 2.0 for players returning from HH 1.0. Key rule changes, reactions, and unit changes are discussed in the first segment, followed by Eric coaching Brian through his Horus Heresy 2.0 World Eaters reboot Berzerker Assault project.   Contact us at Losttothenails@gmail.com 

Join us and guest Sc Josh for a chat about the new Legions Imperialis and playing the Chonky Bois of AT18: The Warmaster and Iconoclast!    We discuss our early impressions of Legions Imperialis, successes and missteps of the release, and where we want to see the game go from here in our first segment and close with Chonky Titans and You: Using the Warmaster and Iconoclast in your games of AT18.   This episode was recorded mid-December and sat (in typical fashion) in rough audio files on Brian's laptop for nearly a month before barely being edited!    Join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/4yNqWfH8WX (Expires after 25 uses.

Join us for our Cold Take on 10th edition! We discuss parts of the edition rollout that we are hot/cold on and discuss where GW got the game right. Brian tries to burn his house down before trying English condiments on air. Did that go well? it marmite or mar-didn't go well.   Check out Eric's historicals podcast: Plastic Pressgang Podcast

We're not dead and The Terrainisode is finally here! We recap where in the hell we've been for half a year and talk a little about the new edition before finally kicking off the Terrainisode. We cover function and form, theming your terrain, build techniques, and painting tips and tricks that we've used to finish several tables worth of terrain between the two of us.   Contact us at  losttothenails@gmail.com to join our Discord group, ask questions, or leave show topic suggestions!

Late but worth the wait! We are joined by not one, but TWO great Anthony's/Tony's talking narrative events in this episode. Tony from The Narrative Wargamer podcast and YouTube channel discusses preparation and expectations from the player and organizer angles of narrative events in segments 1 and 3. Anthony from the G3 Heresy Group joins Brian as they discuss the The Desolation of Oblivion Mons Titanicus event (Brian's first attended organized event since Covid!) and future Titanicus events for the Northern California and Central Coast regions.   The Narrative Wargamer Podcast The Narrative Wargamer on YouTube    

WARNING: Janky Audio! This episode was recorded  while Brian had Covid with questionable audio recording equipment. The audio is dodgy, but the conversation is great! In the first segment we discuss Eric's Nova experience playing the Nova Grognard Hat Trick: Battlefleet Heresy, Heresy, and Adeptus Titanicus!  In the second segment we discuss the Horus Heresy as a game we can hold in our heads. Eric holds Brian's head and reinforces his clarity when designing a 1,000pt World Eaters list to paint towards in Zone Mortalis. 

Join us as we talk designing Eric's Battlefleet Heresy list for NOVA and our first impressions of the new edition of Horus Heresy!

Eric and Brian are joined by Mark from the Battlehosts to help end the new "I spilled my Nuln Oil" social media post- "Experienced" 40K players trying to come back tp 10th edition. Spoiler: Tempest of War is really good, Brian is shocked to discover that there is a dedicated Sisters of Battle podacst.   https://www.facebook.com/thebattlehosts/   Please support the LFGS that just happens to be online: https://herrickgames.com

This episode was subtitled "Barely an Episode" before we recorded it and it turned into an actual discussion! We discuss the return of Squats/League of Votaan or (Voltron?) and their potential place in the lore and game before going into our hopes for the new edition of Horus Heresy.   As always, you can contact us at Losttothenails@gmail.com   Please support the LFGS that just happens to be online, Herrick Games at herrickgames.com  

We FINALLY talk Adeptus Titanicus 2018 and discuss why you should be playing it! Eric and Brian are joined by SC Josh of IC's fame to discuss all aspects of the game- tabletop experience, hobby glory, and the all around awesome that is the "What if the 1812 Overture was a tabletop game?" glory of AT18.

Join us as we do the obligitory hobby/gaming recap of 2021 and discuss our plans for 2022. There's even a cliche "New Year, New Army" that rolls stright into our new segment: The Nine Traitor Legions! We take a dive into the poster boys of the baddies and trace their evolution from the Sons of Horus, their failure at the Siege of Terra, and their rebirth under the baddest of the "primarchs": Abaddon! Murder hobos, justifying bits hoarding, and letting the greatest motivational speaker help you be your most hateful self on the tabletop all plays into our discussion of translating this army to the tabletop for maximum fun!

We interrupt the scheduled Adeptus Titanicus episode to explore Brian's realization that he loves Warhammer 40,000. Brian and Eric discuss the balance factors of challenges of army builds, artistic fulfillment and obligations, and how these things can help you get the most enjoyment from this glorious game.   We also introduce how we will be reviewing the Crusade portion of codexes going forward, starting with the Death Guard and Adeptus Sororitas. 

14 Armigers? WHY NOT?   Brian and Eric are joined by Colin Ward from Legalized Mischief Productions to talk about meme lists in Warhammer 40,000. What they are, how they work, and how everything from meme lists to themed lists can expand your collection in meaningful to "yeah, that FAQ just killed this thing" ways. 

Brian, Eric and Carl Tuttle of The Independent Characters fame talk about 3D printing - what interests us about it, where we see it's role in the hobby, our individual perspectives on files that dance (or advance and charge) across the IP infringement line, and how to get started if you're interested.
