Paired Weapons Podcast

Boom! WTF was that!? It's not the Paired Weapons is it? It bloody well is!

I only sing when I'm winning, sing when I'm winning, I only sing when I'm winnninnnnnnnng!!!!!

Following a period of inactivity brought on by real life shenanigans, the lads are back to catch up on a few tournaments, run through the Nov Points Patch and discuss the Masters and how neither of them are going. Booo!

Matt makes the trip to Bonnie Scotland to play in the War in the North, alas without Kev. Can Matt shift his Masters bid one step closer or will his wretched ones run into a wall of armour? Only one way to find out...

OK, fine, we'll do some more. After literally two people wrote us (abusive) messages the lads fold under the pressure and start broadcasting again, loud and proud. Shall we never be set free?

Sorry about the sound quality... The lads drag themselves back from a hectic ETC and try to pod on the way home in the car, with mixed results... Big changes are afoot for the lads and we hope that you enjoy(ed) the pod!

With the ETC in the offing the lads are joined by gargants of the ninth age world, literally around the world, as they nervously eye up the Big Kahoona starting next week in Amsterdamage.

The lads come crashing through the door with their pockets stuffed with wonderous tales of battle. Some of which are even true. Partially. Enjoy!

100 Not Out !!!! The lads make it to the big ton in the esteemed company of Craig Macanany (sp?) to go through the lists for the New Challenger Tournament at EG this weekend. Join the lads to see what the new filth is... sneak preview... they live in the woods... In other news Wrooty goes nuts and picks 122 Judicators.

Kev and Matt are fashionably late to the party in reviewing the O and G book. Gather round spambots as Uncles Kev and Matt hold forth with poorly informed chatter on the matter,

Once again players of The Ninth Age draw forth to the English Championships in Stockport. Can the Empire overcome overwhelming odds and Matt's lack of skill? Will Kev's KoE bus throw a shoe (tyre?)? Who's the best karaoke singer on the circuit? Will Kev be sick again? Find out... Also - Noob on Noob Red Hot Action!

Boom. Lists frenzy. Enjoy your drives whilst Matt and Kev wax lyrical about things they know little.

Kev's back from Paris and Matt is back from North Wales and so on such a beautiful day what could be more lovely than a pod? The spambots deserve it! Sorry for the delay... Happy Easter everyone!

Matt couldn't make this one so Henry G (aka Johnny Crass) steps in to review the lists for March to War 2 with Kev. Don't worry, Matt will be back for the next episode!

You know how you used to be able to do triple cannon? Well, you can't anymore. BOOOOOOO!!!! Also, other point updates.

Hot on the heels of late-running Episode 93 comes Episode 94 chock full of Ninth Age Battle Report goodness and widespread Uber usage.

Arriving three days after its of any use to anyone, Matt and Kev try to review 58 lists in 80 minutes whilst Kev pilots the lads South. Good luck with that!

Arriving three days too late to be of any use to anyone Matt and Kev try to review 58 lists in 80 minutes. Good luck with that!

Kev and Matt bring you a podette covering the special scenarios at Art Of War... So, if you're confused then maybe this will help you. Maybe...

The lads are joined by newly crowned Master of the UK and ROI Ciaran Dunne to discuss the recent tournament in Durham as well as a little bit of a peep into the Vermin Swarm enthusiast's background, enjoy!

The Waiting's Over!!! Here they are in all their glory! With Craig Johnson

The lads are joined by three qualifiers for the 2023 Masters to discuss all things Ninth Age and Gin related. Including a pop quiz! Enjoy

Fresh from the World Cup Final and possibly tipsy the lads cover the third slice of Ninth Age Update Goodness. With all you need to know about the Empire, Warriors, some other factions and Lionel Messi. Enjoy!

Sorry it's late! Blame RL.

It's that time of year again when we need to write new magic cards. Join Matt and Kev as they struggle through their hang overs and bring you the magic updates and KoE live from the top of a ladder.

With both the lads sporting crushing hangovers they drag themselves from their beds to give you the pod that (some) spambots have been demanding - the review of Breakthrough 2022. Complete with dogs being sick we hope you enjoy!

The lads are joined by not one but two Doctors - Dr Dan of Legend and Dr Oli Mather, Capt of ETC Team Wales, to review the upcoming Breakthrough at Element Games. Nervously Kev and Matt await the verdict on their offerings...

The lads are joined by James Wroot and Johnny C (Henry G) to dicuss the Infernal Zoo recently run in Sunny Cal-i-forn-i-a. Matt makes a huge apologias and Kev is sick but soldiers on. Enjoy!

The lads try to record episode 82 again after the internet gremlins stole our first attempt for their nefarious purposes, we'll run that one again soon but in the meantime we bring you a review of the State of the Union of t9a in the UK and a review of Kev's trip to Walsall. Enjoy!

The lads keep the Antipodean theme going with another guest from Down Under, this time dialing in from sunny Brisbane, at some ungodly hour of the morning, is friend of the podcast and Australian Aristocrat Angus Sturt-Bray. We take in a range of topics but among them are the lists for the upcoming New South Wales GT. Enjoy!

The lads are back from their self imposed exile with a very special guest all the way from... well... when you get to Australia, keep going! There you'll find the Land of the Long White Cloud and one of the nicest players in the Ninth Ageasphere and we're delighted to have him on board for our first look at the new SA Book. Enjoy!

Crikey, that was quite something.... Join the boys for a tale so epic it would have made Homer cry with jealousy. Thrilling highs, terrifying lows, it's got it all. World class players, pizza, boiling temperatures, cans of Turbo Tennants, running in the sun, pizza, crazy drivers, San Marino thunderstorms and pizza. It's a whopper! Enjoy!

The lads are on a short countdown to the ETC and things are heating up in all sorts of ways... With pairings on our minds we take the spambots through a pairing exercise versus a theoretical and randomly selected team from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. How do the Bravehearts measure up against the boys from the Duchy? Two weeks to go!

The lads are back with long-time pod-bro Johnny Crass (aka Henry Greig) to discuss their 5 top things that they would change if they ruled the ninth age world. It's probably for the best that they don't but, hey, anyone can dream eh?

Another year and another TEC (The English Championships) is done and dusted. Some have soared higher than an eagle and others sunk lower than whale poo. I'll let you guess who did which... Ten weeks to ETC!

As Kev departs for Spanish shores to work on his Vegan Farm, the lads draw near to discuss Matt's TEC list. Shamelessly pretending to be informative Kev is forced to listen to Matt justify Wretched Ones and Feldraks inclusion en masse for the Stockport Showdown. And no Chosen Lord in a move that will surprise no one. Alea iacta est.

By popular demand the lads drag themselves back to the podding desk to review the upcoming BCTB. Joined by a veritable sage the boys consider the might of the Old Boys Club, revel in the mystery of an 1100 point character and wonder if Dr Dan wrote all the lists. You never know!

The lads take a trip down to the woods to see what all the noise is about. Fortunately Kev is known to the Herds and as such they (probably) won't eat Matt. Although they might, you never can tell... So, join the boys for Kev's insights into the officially lowest ranked faction in the game. Oh yes, Mr and Mrs Mino say hi.

The lads drag themselves back to the microphone from their various RL and Total War commitments and promise never to be so naughty again. So, please stop emailing, texting and shouting at us in the street! We're back with more ill informed chat and even the occasional T9A thought. Enjoy!

The lads make the journey south in the teeth of Storn Eunice to play in the Bristol based Art of War 4 and then home in the teeth of Storm Franklin loaded with a treasure trove of stories from the battlefield. Enjoy!

Howdy Partners! The lads are joined once again by Henry G from the US of A to discuss the Masters lists for this years North American Showdown. Who will walk away with the coveted Mantle of the Colonies Best Player? Get this in your ear holes and place your bets! In other news, the UK is blown into the sea.

Much puerile humour ensues as the lads reach an important landmark. In other news the balance patch is out. That poor chap at New Recruit....

The lads get together to catch up with all that's been happening in the last few weeks since Matt disappeared into the mountains and Kev flew the pod solo. Celtic League, Scotland Training Weekend and the upcoming Bristol Art of War among others. Enjoy.

The lads are joined by the new UK and ROI Master Ed Murdoch to revel in his glory and by association elevate themselves to the status of gods! We're not going to lie, this was our second attempt at the pod which didn't record the first time and the second attempt was also beset by technical issues as Matt goes missing half way through! We apologise but as Herodutus once said 'not rain, nor snow, nor gloom of night shall keep the Paired Weapon Podcast from thine ear holes.' Or something like that anyway.

On the eve of the UK and ROI Masters Kev and Matt are joined by Jeff Keeling of South West England fame (an Arthurian Wessexian?)whose rare sorties into the tournament scene are frighteningly succesful. A real unknown quantity this player, don't be surprised if this Beast Herder is in the mix come late Sunday... Oh, and a bloody nice chap and dog lover!

To run you through the Masters lists the lads are joined by none other that Dr Dan Thomas and Henry Grieg (Johnny Crass) all the way from Manchester and California respectively. (Henry got up at 4 am to do the pod!) We hope that you enjoy the scoop of the year and we're sorry about the feedback on one of the mics...

The lads are joined by the legend that is Mikey Newman to discuss the upcoming Masters and all things T9a including his role in the Rules Team, The Balance Patch, The Faction Tier and various LAB's plus his long and distinguished career as Capt of England ETC and a pro painter amongst many, many other hobby rekated matters and some non hobby too. Has the podcast ever been so honoured!

Kev and Matt are joined by T9A Enforcer Chay to discuss all things Masters related. The first of our three Masters interviews with the UK and Ireland's Top 16 Players, the lads find out what makes the Big Man tick and, crucially, how many of the Masters Qualifiers Chay could fight at once.

The lads are graced by the presence of Ed Murdoch (aka Scottish Knight) to discuss the role palyed by the Background Team in T9a which he runs amongst a myriad of other roles deep in the engine room of our game. If you've ever wondered where the faction books come from then this pod is for you!

Merry Christmas to Listeners and Spambots! Uncles Matt and Kev are climbing down your chimney with a present to gladden your heart. And possible steal your beer. Joining us in Festive Gladness is SirMC2015 from the KoE LAB Team who adds a degree of class and elegance to our otherwise plebian traipse through the Kingdom of Equitaine. With such powerful allies no doubt deep insights will result and if not, once we've had some beer then they surely will. Happy Holidays!

Having been chosen from a field of thousands, (well, in truth we volunteered) the lads are proud to bring you the Core Review from the new KoE book. Never has paying the core tax been such fun. Enjoy!
