Skavenblight Radio is a podcast about the Skaven race from Warhammer Fantasy. We cover collecting, tactics, painting and army building.
Since we were so late recording the last episode we decided to just skip a month and try and get back to the regular 13th release date by delaying it a little more. Chris and Dan talk about what they have been up to, the Escalation tournament at the North West Games Centre, and are joined by Mathusala0 for a Skaven magic lore review/tactica. Feel free to leave any feedback here, or catch us on Facebook or @SkavenblightRad on Twitter. You can subscribe to our RSS feed and as if that's not enough we are also on iTunes.

Welcome to Episode 3.Chris and Dan talk about what they have been up to, how to take better model pictures, what caught their eye on the underempire.net Skaven forum, a couple of recent tournaments they have been to and cover some requests talking about rat-stars and wither. A quick warning/disclaimer:We have always had a degree of adult language in the podcast but in this one we get a little carried away with it, we must have both been on the sweary juice.We have a bit of talk about piracy, we do not endorse piracy and even if it sounds like we are doing so, please take it in the tongue-in-cheek fashion in which it was intended.Streaming link: podcastDirect Download: right click and save page/target/linkFull Contents:0:00 - Intro and recent events21:00 - Forum Threads - Dimco's Skaven24:50 - How to take better model pictures34:00 - More forum threads - Army Book Pricing42:00 - Ratstars and Wither/Drain magicFeel free to leave any feedback here, or catch us on Facebook or @SkavenblightRad on Twitter.You can subscribe to our RSS feed and as if that's not enough we are also on iTunes.Thanks to Clanlord Trask for the music.The pic we were laughing at comparing High Elves and Dark Elves:

Still makes them very nasty, just not quite in the same way.

Dan and Math (Mathusala0) go through the new Lizardman book having a chat about how the rules have changed and what's new, particularly in relation to how it effects them when up against Skaven.I think my highlight was Math trying to keep his language somewhat under control when he hears the name of the author.Direct Download Streaming Link

Hey there!A couple of weeks ago the HeelanHammer podcast did a dedicated Skaven episode. It got a few of us UnderEmpire forum regulars thinking that a Skaven podcast would be pretty cool. We kind of thought that it would end up being one of those forum things that never really goes anywhere, but thanks in large part to SkavenDan we actually got our shit together and recorded a test episode.We have quite a few ideas for further episodes and are planning to make this actually be a thing.I thought I would put up a blog as an easy way for you to keep track of what was going on with it. Both a bit of behind the scenes as we work on the trials and tribulations caused by a bunch of guys (girls are welcome too, but let's face it warhammer is mostly guys...) who only know each other though a forum trying to put together a workable podcast.I have a few ideas of what to put up on the blog:New episode announcementsBehind the scenes stuff to help out other people who want to get into podcastingHighlights of stuff on the Underempire forumsThat said, here is the first thing I wanted to share: Episode 0, our test podcast.Please note this is an adult podcast. We don't swear (what I would consider) excessively, but there is some bad language right from the start.Streaming link - just click to playDirect Download - right click and save target/page/link asWe very much welcome your feedback, on both the podcast and the blog.
