Northern Invasion - The Podcast

Episode 67 - February 2024 Is it a comeback episode? Seems so... maybe. There is a commitment to two further episodes at least! In this episode Stu and Andy are joined by Martin and Craig to talk about setting up local gaming clubs and developing a community around the hobby. We hear about Martin's first foray into tournament organisation and how Defence of the Realm played out. Additional kudos on all fronts for our hero in a half shell - Alan. If you want a game in Aberdeen City or Shire, or to keep up to date with upcoming events, follow the Stormkeep on Twitter (X) @GCStormkeep Once left alone to get cosy Andy talks to Stu about this year's Northern Masters; the format, the non-alcoholic drinks, the chicken mayonnaise, his opponents at the event and what is next. 00:00:00:01 - Introductions and Hobby Updates 00:00:11:49 - Granite City Stormkeep/Deeside Gaming Club 00:00:20:16 - Defence of the Realm Tournament Recap 00:00:42:11 - Northern Masters Review There's whining about battlescrolls (but probably not for the reason you expect), there gout chat and a distinct lack of outro music thanks to Spotify's draconian copyright controls.

Episode 18 - February 2019 In this episode the guys show why it's not appropriate to come together last minute on a Friday night to record an episode. The alcohol-fueled debate pitches Generation X against Millennials as technology in AoS is debated - it's fine to disagree! The unbeaten lists from Hammer of the North are looked at, timekeeping is discussed and listener questions are answered. Stu is then joined by the 2018 recipient of the 'Immortalised by the Bards' award from Northern Invasion, Grant Mudie, to discuss forging a narrative for your own armies and we look forward to Northern Invasion 2019. The language and opinions expressed in this episode may not be suitable for younger ears so maybe get the kids to sit this one out...   Twitter: Stu - @aosbatrep Scott - @_wee_men Liam - @liamadamwatt Nathan - @Nate_watson89

Episode 17 - February 2019 Nagash, Nagash, Nagash  Casting aside their elderly co-hosts, the Watt and Watson record a special episode whilst riding a tandem through Aberdeenshire.  We finally get Liam to sit down and talk about his recent success with Legions of Nagash. We go into detail about how his list works, what he likes and dislikes and what is next for our current 2019 champ. Obviously this is an episode about Liam so grab a tally chart and see how many times he says it!

Episode 16 - January 2019 In this episode the Northern Master, Nathan Watson, and some chump with lots of Spite Revenants talk through their games at January's Tempest event and explain the thinking behind their lists. The tournament organizer explains how the event was run and the top lists are considered before discussion on scoring for future events. It may be 'dry January' in the South but in the North we stay true to our vices. Can you go the distance as the boys have a Burns Night discussion and mop up the last of the Christmas Spirit?
