We are back with a new season of the Great Crusade Podcast!  Recently it has been difficult to maintain our old episode format and release schedule.  Many factors, from work to family to the pandemic, made the old podcast unsustainable.  But rather than give up entirely we decided to change the format to something we could fit into our lives. So we are excited to present to you: The Great Crusade Podcast, Season 3!

We're back with a recap of The Great Crusade Podcast Back Yard Invitational Tournament, or TGCPBYIT for short.  Bob joins our friends Carol, Dan, Joe, and Steven to to talk about their experiences at the first tournament since COIVD lockdown.  Carol, as our local TO, decided to host a group of fully-vaccinated gamers in her back yard to get everyone back into the swing of things with 40k.

Here we are, the moment Bob's been waiting for, the Death Guard codex is here!  Actually, it was here a few months ago, but having had some time to play with it and understand it a bit better we decided to have a go at a codex overview.  Bob walks us through the good, the bad, and the stinky of the new codex.  This is a fantastic codex and hopefully sets the standard that the next book releases will live up to!

In this episode, Bob finally introduces us to the master of his legion: Mortarion.  Addison talks about another big, stinky, green unit, the Meganobz.  Tom counters their uncouth units with the silent but deadly Sisters of Silence.

In this episode, Tom is inspired to talk about the Culexus assassin after listening to the Horus Heresy novel Nemesis.  Bob talks about everyone's nemesis, the Plagueburst Crawler.  Addison's unit, the Defkilla WAAAAAUUGHtrike, doesn't know what nemesis means but if it did would certainly love it.

We are back to our normal episode format this time after some wandering off track.  We have three interesting and very different units today.  Bob talks about the adorable but oh-so-disgusting Mephitic Blight Haulers.  Tom discusses why the Vindicare Assassin is his most hated unit.  Addison introduces us to a brand new concept that is unique to the Orks: a melee transport in the Bonebreaka Battlewagon.  Enjoy!   Contact us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/greatcrusadepodcast/?modal=admin_todo_tour Twitter @greatcrusadepod Instagram @greatcrusadepodcast Email greatcrusadepodcast@gmail.com Merch https://www.cafepress.com/thegreatcrusade Music  https://www.audiobinger.net/ Thanks for listening!

In this episode, the gang heads to a completely different universe to talk about Tom and Bob's latest obsession: Malifaux.  We look at it from our honest perspective: as 40k players who are dabbling in a whole new game.  Malifaux is a skirmish game set in an alternate history filled with magic, steampunk, zombies, cowboys, gremlins, and all kinds of other crazy stuff.  To help, Malifaux expert Craig from Third Floor Wars joins us.  We hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we invite some of our friends on to talk about 9th edition 40k.  We cover everything from how GW introduced the new edition, rules, missions, game balance, and how we feel about all the Space marine releases.  There's some great insight in here beyond our normal perspectives, so we hope you enjoy!

This episode we do something a little bit different.  We invited Carol - a member of our gaming group, TO, paint judge, and all-around hobby champion - to talk about her background in the hobby. Then we opened it up to a broader discussion of representation in Warhammer 40k.  Our focus was on female representation in the models and at the table, from Carol's own experience as one of the only female 40k players in our area to the hot-button topic of female space marines.   Contact us: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/greatcrusadepodcast/?modal=admin_todo_tour Twitter @greatcrusadepod Instagram @greatcrusadepodcast Email greatcrusadepodcast@gmail.com Merch https://www.cafepress.com/thegreatcrusade Music  https://www.audiobinger.net/ Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Addison has given himself over entirely to the GREATER WAAAAAAGH and introduces us to his Warboss, Kuublah.  Tom talks about the Custodes crowd favorite, the Vertus Praetors.  Bob continues his descent into Nurgle's squishy embrace with his Daemon Prince.

In this episode, Bob falls to Nurgle (again) with an introduction to his Death Guard army and Plague Marines.  Of course, Addison's Angry Marines are furious about his, none more than his Librarian Dreadnought.  Tom discusses his own best answer to heresy, and really to any enemy, the Allarus Terminators.

This episode is all about our experience with 9th edition!  We invited our friend Jason to join us for a game day using the 9th edition rules, then all got together to discuss our experiences and thoughts.  All of us are optimistic about the new edition and are having fun with it so far.

This episode marks the official start of two new armies for our show.  Tom introduces the Adeptus Custodes and Bob starts in on his Harlequins.  Addison walks us through the classic Drop Pod and why it should be so much cooler on the tabletop than it actually is. Keep in mind: this episode was recorded before the 9th edition core rules were released and has some speculation and mistakes about what they will contain.

In this episode, we air our grievances toward units and factions that we feel are just too good.  Bob talks about his Kabalites in Venoms while the other two complain about how effective, fast, and durable they are.  Addison talks about his Repulsor Executioner while the other two complain about the crazy firepower and durability it brings to the table.  Then everyone complains about their recent game experiences (Iron Hands Repulsors, anyone?).  Hope you enjoy us venting as much as we did!

In this episode we diverge from our normal format to talk about what's on everyone's mind in 40k: the new edition!  This was recorded a little while ago so the information is not up-to-the-minute, but we gave a good overview of what Games Workshop has told us will be different about 9th edition.  We are all super excited about what's coming next in our hobby and hope you are too!

For this episode, we decided to invite Adam and Jason from the Masters of the Forge podcast to join us.  It was supposed to be a nice relaxing chat about some 40k units we really like.  Instead we derailed the conversation with jokes, stories, and banter.  This was a lot of fun to record, and we hope you enjoy!

In a terrible twist, the units we decided to talk about today are ones we haven't had much success with!  Addison talks about his jaded Vanguard Vets.  Bob talks about his squishy Inclubi.  Tom talks about the creepy Malanthrope (which he actually does like). We also spend some time in the battle report segment talking about how the heck to do casual games correctly.  Enjoy!

In this episode Bob brings us the second half of his Yncarne discussion, but with the best expert we could possibly think of: Sean Nayden!  Bob and Sean talk about the Yncarne's rules in depth, including some great tricks for keeping her alive and performing at top efficiency.  They also delve into Bob's Drukhari list a bit, and talk about some options for improving it.  Enjoy!

In this episode, we actually have some battle reports!  Bob got us into Tabletop Simulator and we've been playing more than we normally would.  In addition, we've each brought a new interesting character.  Tom talks about the Nexos (yes, another GSC character).  Addison introduces us to the angriest Marine in GW lore: Lemartes.  Bob talks about the Yncarne, and Ynarri in general, although he saves the rules discussion for a nice chat he had with a real expert.  Enjoy!

In this episode, Addison deep-strikes in his Death Company to make their bid for most brutal unit in the game.  Bob goes through the fascinating lore of the mysterious Drazhar, master of blades.  To round it out, Tom talks about his 7th tiny cult character, the Clamavus.  Enjoy! If you are like us and have been stuck inside and are missing nerd banter, you can stay tuned after the episode to hear us talk about the Battle Cattle, Guilliman conspiracy theories, why Breaking Bad is terrible (according to Tom only), and more reactions that we recorded during the first Games Workshop preview show.

As Bob spirals down the dark path of the Drukhari, he has reached out to one of the very best to help guide him along the way.

Usually we don't do this, but Tom is so excited for new Tyranid rules that he decided to do a review of the Psychic Awakening - Blood of Baal book.  Since his recent tournament performance disqualifies him from having an "expert" opinion, Tom invited Alex Macdougall back on the show to walk through the new rules.  There is a ton of content to cover, from the Chapter Approved points changes to the Tyranid tricks in Blood of Baal to how the Tyranid meta will shift now with the new rules so strap in and enjoy!
