The LRDG II Podcast- Episode 17

The LRDG II Podcast- Episode 17

The LRDG II podcast is back with an another exciting, two part episode. 

In the first segment, I am joined by longtime Ghost Army Podcast member Casey to discuss current hobby projects and the elephant in the room, gaming world wise, Warhammer 40K. We also discuss significant rumours in the Bolt Action and Konflikt '47 world and what it means to be "that guy" when gaming.

In part two, the master of Australian TO'ing, the one and only Peter West rejoins the cast to talk about lessons learned from the most recent Wintercon BA event, getting creative with hobby ideas in BA and to discuss how a Very British Civil War and the Operation Sea Lion campaign are similar and how they can be linked to create a rich "what if" backdrop for Bolt Action Gaming.

As always we love to hear from you through the LRDG Podcast FaceBook group. A number of you have requested that I separate BA from non-BA content differently. In the future I will put non-Bolt Action content at the end of the episode so it is easier to avoid if that game system is not your thing. That said, if you are looking to hear only BA content, I would suggest tuning into this episode at the 40 minute mark. Thank you to the folks that have sent in this feedback! :)

We hope that you enjoy episode 17!

The LRDG II Podcast, Episode 13: Reforming The Bad Boys Of Bolt Action

Welcome to episode "lucky 13" of the LRDG II!

Brad is rejoined by, friend of the cast and all around hobby hero, Luke Emerton to discuss a number of BIG BA topics. First of all the guys talk through the brand new FAQ from Warlord games and what is means for BA as a whole. They also take a deep dive into the history of an interesting "link" in the evolution of modern Soviet tanks, the humongous T-28! They do all this before hitting the main topic of the episode.

In the last episode Brad talked about how exciting it is that with the "new" edition, units and vehicles that used to be terrible have been given new life and how listing has become interesting again because there are so many units to choose from. This episode Brad and Luke dive into the flip side of that coin and examine the "bad boys" of first edition that were "too good" to take. Are vehicle flamethrowers, cavalry, Ghurkas, big HE tanks and more acceptable to take now or are they still to rough to bring in a friendly game? Tune in and find out!

They also generally discuss the "new" Armies of Germany book and discuss a few units not discussed in other places. 

It is that time of year again, the run up to Cancon, Australia's largest Bolt Action event. Though Brad is not attending, he talks with hobby god's Steven Drury and Andrew Brownrigg about how they are preparing for this huge event.

LRDG II : Episode 4 – Return Of The Rising Sun

A loooooong time ago, the guys in the LRDG took a serious look at the Armies of Japan book when it came out.

Later in the episode, Brad is joined by Patchimus Prime to talk painting, upcoming events and Patch’s 2017 Cancon giveaway. It should also be noted that Patch says a VERY naughty word!

LRDG II (Inappropriate Interviews): Episode 2

Old Man Morin is back with new guests and new conversational topics in the LRDG II's second big episode!

In segment 1, DaveOwaR jumps on the mic to talk gaming in general. Though we start off with a few minutes of fairly intense Malifaux discussion, we quickly shift conversation to gaming as a whole. We talk about the new point values for AOS, the newest version of Warhammer Quest, the most recent changes to the Bolt Action format rules, the release of a new Bolt Action scenario, shifts in our gaming interests (and what makes us happy) and changes to the industry as a whole 

Segment 2 switches gears completely, away from gaming and Brad brings on his old mate Admiral Walken (Aka Christian Bladt) from the WWPD ad to talk podcasting, celebrity stories, impressions, karaoke, ancient history, superhero movies and more... Though part 2 is not about gaming we hope you will stick around for the banter and fun.

The LRDG Presents Episode One of The LRDG II

Welcome one and all to the newest podcast from the warped minds that brought you podcasts like the Dweller's Below, The LRDG and The Ghost Army Podcast. The LRDG II (or Inappropriate Interviews), Old Man Morin invites folks from near and far to discuss miniature wargaming in its many forms.

Episode one is largely about Old Man Morin's foray, as an experienced wargamer, into Malifaux. In the first segment Brad chats with our old buddy on the top side of the world, CBax who is on a similar gaming path but is further along the road, experience wise. The guys talk Easter Sale, starting up Faux and discuss gaming in general. 

In segment two, Patch joins in to discuss painting as he details how he painted the incredible Pertida Crew for Brad in the span of a weekend. He explains the tricks he used to get that level of detail onto the models in such a short period of time. He then hangs around for a bit and the guys briefly talk Team Yankee and wargaming in general. Look for more pictures of Patch's stuff on the LRDG Podcast's FB page. 

I am joined in the final segment by, the one and only, Matt Stanley of Nova Open (in)Fame. Matt shares the highs and lows of his recent Adepticon trip, discusses gaming post apocalypse style, chats Malifaux highlights and shares new events scheduled for this year's Nova Open. 

Be warned that the occasional naughty word was dropped here and there during the recording of this podcast. This is a new and slightly raw cast. If you have feedback that you would like to share and ideas that you would send our way, please contact Old Man Morin via the LRDG Podcast Facebook page. 

We would like to thank the bands Rocket From The Crypt for letting us use their fantastic tune "Pushed" as our intro music and The Red Elvises for generously letting use their tune "Love Pipe" as our outro music. We at the LRDG highly recommend that you check out the work of these extremely talented bands. 

Enjoy!
