Food. At its most basic, we need it to live. But it can also be a source of pleasure and community. Unfortunately, our society benefits from propagating shame around food, eating and weight and this can result in parents passing on and projecting their own issues around food to their children. In this episode, we speak with Amy Bernstein (www.ABodyOfBeing.com), a clinical social worker and therapist who is an expert on children and body image issues. We'll talk about countering the Instagram culture's obsession with idealized and unrealistic body images and offer practical advice on how (or whether) to talk to your child about their weight and how they eat.

Episode 211 of The Independent Characters brings special guest star Caleb Wissenback into the studio to talk with Justin about how to be efficient in your painting setup. Whether you have a small place with no permenant station, or all the room in the world to build a fully fledged art studio, these two will walk you through some tips and ideas on how to get over your painting speed bumps! We then spend a little time discussing how to get to the table and playing faster. We swear to you this segment was NOT brought to you by Tablewar, regardless of how many times you hear us talk about that product! One more thing - we mentioned trays and bases that you can print yourself and put into your Tablewar cases, but couldn't recall at the time the name of the company responsible. It was Z-Axis Hobbies.

Episode 208 of The Independent Characters returns to one of our favorite series... the last time we did this was January of 2019. In the 41st Millennium there are those who stand out among all others. Shining beacons of light or blackened embers of darkness. In this new series entitled ‘Champions of 40k', The Independent Characters take an in depth view of several of their favorite heroes in the game. In this episode we return to explore the lore around each of them and what makes them qualified to be counted among the greatest of their kind. And in true ICs fashion, we go deeper. We look at how their model represents them, how they function on the table as well as how they compare to their fiction! This round sees us return to explore several ‘Heroes of The Imperium'. We will pick our favorites and dive into how they have helped to turn back the tide of Chaos and Xenos alike. Although it turned out Jody could not join us for this episode, we do have Justin and Adan on board. We hope you enjoy our return to this series as much as we are excited to bring it to you!

Episode 206 of The Independent Characters takes a look at how the hobby is getting older, what the drawbacks and benefits to that are, what we as a community can do to bring new life to it, and how Games Workshop may be approaching an aging player base. A couple of notes however: We obviously had to record remotely, which isn't ever my first choice, but we made the best of it. Once the Shelter In Place orders are lifted, we will go back to recording in the studio while observing safety precautions. I really want to thank our Special Guest - Dave Taylor for joining us in a lengthy discussion on this topic. We meant no offence inviting him to join us on the "old guys episode"! Also do NOT forget you can use the coupon "ICMay2020" with your Tablewar purchases of FatMats, MacroMats, and GeoMats all throughout the month of May for an additional 10% off your purchase! These guys have been incredibly generous to the community over the years and as small businesses are hurting right now, go over there, take advantage of the coupon code and order something for yourself or a friend if you can do so!

Episode 204 of The Independent Characters is as late as we have ever been with a show. The current situation around the world has impacted us here as well (as you will hear on the show), but we finally were able to work out a time to record. A couple of notes however: We obviously had to record remotely, which isn't ever my first choice, but we made the best of it. Additionally, we had to pivot away from our initial topic to a Warrior Lodge for this go around. Without the ability to be with each other in person, we miss out on some of the sharing factor of the previous topic. That's ok though, we will bring it back when things return to a stable state. That being said, I think we have some solid discussion here with Carl, Jody, Justin, and Josh (The three Js!). We hope you enjoy the show and we fully expect to be back on schedule soon, and in fact we have some new ideas we think you are going to enjoy.

Episode 201 of The Independent Characters contains our coverage of the latest version of Apocalypse! The latest iteration of Apocalypse is something both unlike we have seen before AND familiar to long time players of Games Workshop games. Jody and Carl talk about playing through the game, some of the changes and challenges, as well as what their final take on it all is. A solid two hours and twenty minutes of content all about the most beloved... or hated... way to play a game of Warhammer 40k! So sit back and get some hobby progress done while you enjoy the show.

Episode 199 of The Independent Characters is our year in review episode. Now we talked about this before, but with so many shows out there going over everything that released last year, we felt like a change was in order. We were the first show to take that route and quite honestly we were feeling like it was a bit stale anyway. This year we do something different. We speak with most of the members of our gaming group, local friends, and others to get their insight on what were the highlights, lowlights, and thoughts on plans for the future of Games Workshop. Probably our longest, and last episode of the year - this one clocks in at around four whopping hours! So sit back and get some hobby progress done while we fill your ears with our final thoughts of 2019.  Happy New Year to all! May it be better for you than the last year, and may all your hobby dreams (as well as others we suppose) come true!

Episode 197 of The Independent Characters present you with a new Show of Force episode! This time we double stack it and take a look at both the Imperial and Chaos Knights in an episode we like to call Show of Force: Engines of Faith and Ruin. We're sorry, but we thought you said you LIKED long episodes... so this one clocks in at nearly four hours in length! Not only that, we have the return (some would say long overdue) of Justin to the show. After all of that great content, we have an interview with Kat and Caleb of CK Studios, talking about their experience teaching airbrushing at Warhammer World and what they have coming up for 2020.

Episode 196 of The Independent Characters takes a close look at what happens when you have to move. How do you take your hobby with you? How do you ensure that everything transports safely? And how do you join a gaming group or form one once you arrive? We have our usual Hobby Progress section followed by a solid two hours of discussion around moving with your hobby. Then we launch into an interview with Todd from Tablewar, who is talking about the new Tablewar Charities foundation. We hope you enjoy the show as much as we enjoyed recording it!

Episode 194 of The Independent Characters is a bit of a train wreck. We aren't going to lie. When Carl was going to be doing so much traveling in September, we expected that he would be able to fit in a couple of interviews. Justin Hill, Aaron Dembski-Bowden, John French, maybe even Robin Cruddace. However, delayed flights, jetlag, expired Drivers licenses... all kinds of things conspired against him to toss those plans right out the window. In the end we wound up with a great interview (with mediocre sound quality in Bugman's Bar) with Justin Hill and then an extensive Hobby Progress and rambling intro section with Jody and Carl. This is NOT our strongest showing, but we do think it IS a fun episode. It's just not particularly well structured. Our next episode will have us back on track and back on schedule. No more traveling and just a lot of gaming. But until then we hope this episode tides you over and you enjoy it as much as we did recording it!

Episode 193 of The Independent Characters arrives delayed by about two days since Carl had to deal with majore work issues all weekend. This episode we are discussing how to get some extra life out of all of your old hobby publications. Be they old campaign materials, old codexes, old mission books, or just old anything - we discuss ideas for how you can look at these things at the changing of an edition and still make them useful in your gaming experience! This episode again comes in at about two and a half hours. We know folks like the longer ones and we have some things coming up which are going to fill your time at great length. But this is a solid two hours of content and discussion... and it will also be of value to how long you get to use all that old stuff you bought. Carl and Justin are heading off to the NOVA Open after this and the month of September is incredibly busy with travel and other activities, but we will fit in new episodes where we can. Expect a lot of interviews with people in the industry and some other surprises coming up. We hope you enjoy!

Episode 192 of The Independent Characters where we run our second ever Warrior Lodge LIVE Episode! For those worried that Justin and Adan had been fired, you can put those rumors to rest as Adan flies into the area to record and Justin finally DOESN'T have to fly somewhere to teach airbrush classes! The episode comes in at a much more reasonable two and a half hours - but it's a solid two and half hours featuring some guest callers from our Patreon as well! We hope you enjoy! (Edit) I realize I neglected to edit out the portion where we drop network connectivity for live viewers. By the time I realized this it would have required pulling back the episode and just wasn't worth it.

Episode 191 of The Independent Characters has us doing a deep dive into the ideas, fiction, fact, and fantasy that spawned the lore of Warhammer 40,000. If you hate long episodes, this one might not be for you as it is over 4 hours of content. But that's what the timestamps below are for! We include our usual Hobby Progress section and then we leap into an interview with none other than Miniwargaming Dave (or Chaos Dave as some call him!). We discuss some exciting things he has done lately and the new Mini Wargaming Bunker you can visit! Then we leap into the main topic of the show for about an hour and a half of solid conversation. This is followed up by an interview with Kat and Caleb from CK Studios where we discuss the entry for the NOVA Open Charity Foundation. An amazing Warlord Titan assembled and painted by some of the best in the industry. Find out how it can be yours! You may also notice fewer advertisements this episode. Thanks to our Patreon we are dropping most advertisers with two exceptions as we move forward. Tablewar and soon, Miniwargaming. We hope you enjoy the show.

Episode 174 of The Independent Characters compares two of Games Workshops skirmish game offerings. It's Necromunda vs Kill Team! A lot of discussion has revolved around whether or not Games Workshop has made the right decision in releasing another skirmish game. Is there enough room for both of these games in the 40k Universe? We discuss the ins and outs of both of these games, their systems, and how they are released and give you our final opinions on what GW has done right, and wrong. Carl is joined again by Jody and Austin as guest hosts as we take a deep dive beneath the hive cities of Necromunda and wage war across the tight confines of Kill Team. Don't forget, if you are looking for the best surface to play your Kill Team Encounters on - you can find them at Tablewar.com where their new Kill Team sized mats will blow you away.

Episode 162 of The Independent Characters takes campaigns to the next level by incorporating other systems into your campaign to represent the different scales of conflict.

Episode 153 of The Independent Characters brings you the conclusion of our coverage of Horus Heresy Book 7 - Inferno! To help us out with this coverage we have once again enlisted Josh Sawyer on this episode. Josh is a member of our local gaming group and a huge fan of The Thousand Sons, and has helped us pour over this massive tome and has prepared extensively for this episode! This episode we close out our coverage talking about the forces of the Imperium. Meaning the Space Wolves, Custodes, and Sisters of Silence. Last episode saw us cross our 3 MILLION total download mark and we just wanted to take a quick moment to thank everyone who listens to the show. It has succeeded beyond our wildest dreams.

Episode 144 of The Independent Characters addresses the topic of the many various ways you can now play Warhammer 40k. We have Justin and Adan back in the studio to record with us this session. As we go through each way to play we discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each and talk about our own personal preferences. Of course we have our usual hobby progress and games played, but we also include a very short interview with Doug and Todd of Tablewar who have a short announcement at the beginning of the episode.

Episode 143 of The Independent Characters brings us back to the Show of Force format. This time it's Show of Force: The Dark Kin of Commorragh. To help us uncover the secrets of this awesome army, we have brought none other than Brian Harvey (evilspaceelves) of the Splintermind Podcast into the studio. We also give him a chance to unburden himself with his hobby progress. One note: the final thirty minutes of the show has some audio interference that appears to be either from a bad mic cable or a failing sound board. Unfortunately there was nothing we could do to get rid of it. Hopefully it isn't to distracting as the content is really quite good. We also have an interview with the owners of Tablewar! Doug and Todd join us to talk about their newest Kickstarter - The Macromats! If you are posting pictures of your miniatures online, you NEED this product! Not sure why Doug sounds like Darth Vader during this interview - but such is the problems you deal with when using Skype. We hope you enjoy the show!

Episode 134 of The Independent Characters is is a return to our Show of Force format. This time around we are covering the Astra Militarum, or as they are traditionally known, The Imperial Guard. To help us out we have a couple of guests. First up is Douglas Neale, or as he is more affectionately known, Replacement Geoff. He plays IG as his primary army and has a love for the army. Additionally we have another Doug! Doug Johnson of Tablewar fame! We go over every aspect of The Imperial Guard, from our favorite models to how to play the army. This is truly the episode for person who loves this army. We work to answer the question, "Why would you want to play this army?" We hope you enjoy this episode of The IC's.   Time Stamps: 0:00:00 - Show Intro and Host Introduction 0:09:50 - Workbench and Hobby Progress 0:45:50 - Show of Force: Hammer of The Emperor - Part 1 1:40:40 - Show of Force: Hammer of The Emperor - Part 2 2:45:00 - Show Closing   Relevant Links: KR Multicase - SPONSOR Tablewar! - SPONSOR Wargamma - SPONSOR Forge World Games Workshop The Black Library    

Episode 118 of The Independent Characters is our long awaited Show of Force: The Angels of Death! Carl, Adan and Justin spend some time discussing their Hobby Progress and Games Played before we move into the meat of the show. You may or may not realize it, but The Space Marines are a pretty large part of Warhammer 40k (who are we kidding? You know that!), and so this Show of Force takes quite a bit of time to go through. Even with the length of this episode, we are still only scratching the surface of the most popular army in Galaxy! Additionally we get none other than Douglas Johnson of Tablewar fame to join us, and talk briefly about the Tablewar offerings.That's great and all, but you may not realize Doug is also an incredibly accomplished Warhammer 40k Tournament player, with multiple GT's under his belt and several appearances in the Top 16 at the Adepticon finals. Doug also happens to be a huge fan of Space Marines and spends some time with us talking about them in competition. With only five remaining episodes of The Independet Characters, we plan to make the best of them! We hope you enjoy this one.   Time Stamps: 0:00:00 - Show Intro and Host Introduction 0:03:40 - Workbench and Hobby Progress 0:43:18 - Show of Force: The Angels of Death (Part 1) 2:05:45 - Show of Force: The Angels of Death (Part 2) 3:14:30 - Show Closing   Relevant Links: KR Multicase - SPONSOR Secret Weapon Miniatures! - SPONSOR Smells Like Wargaming - SPONSOR Spruehammer - SPONSOR Wargamma - SPONSOR Forge World Games Workshop The Black Library Tablewar  

Episode 90 of The Independent Characters takes a very close look at Forge Worlds latest release, Horus Heresy 2: Massacre! As with the previous entry in this series, the tome is so massive we need two episodes to cover it all. Part one of our coverage will be taking a look at the story that has brought us to this point in The Great Betrayal so far, as well as in depth coverage of the four Adeptus Astartes Legions covered in the book. Namely, The Salamanders, The Word Bearers, The Iron Hands and The Night Lords. Word of Horus' treachery escapes Isstvan III and now the Legions loyal to the Emperor mobilise to make Horus and those who follow account for their crimes. However the depth of the betrayal is yet to be revealed.  Aside from our usual Workbench and Games Played segments, we have an interview with Reece Robbins to discuss The Las Vegas Open Tournament as well as his Kickstarter with Tablewar called The MegaMat!
