Posted by Carl on May 11, 2019 Episode 187 of The Independent Characters contains brings us nearly to the end of our Heroes of 40k series with the Enigmas of the Xenos! We include our usual Hobby Progress (or lack thereof) section and then jump right into our main topic of the show. This is the first episode recorded on our new equipment. I’m still dialing in a few things but I think you will already find...

Posted by Carl on Apr 27, 2019 Episode 186 of The Independent Characters is a deep dive into the Cities of Death rules. These can be found in the narrative section of Chapter Approved 2018 as well as a slightly expanded version in the rule book for the Urban Conquest campaign set. This episode clocks in at a more reasonable two and a half hours. Which is a nice change for us from the marathon recordings we’ve...

Posted by Carl on Mar 3, 2019 Episode 183 of The Independent Characters contains a massive four and a half hours of content for you. Now we wouldn’t normally put out an episode this long, but with the loss of the Astronomicon computer, and the replacement, and scheduling… it had been over a month since we recorded. So you try to think of it as two episodes that are each two hours and twenty minutes...

Posted by Carl on Feb 6, 2019 In some episodes lately (Episodes 179-182 specifically) we have discussed using artist inks through an airbrush. We get a LOT of questions about these inks in our Facebook Group and so in the interest of eliminating repeat questions and answers, I thought I would take a few minutes to explain what they are, how we are using them, and which ones you should look into.In particular...

Posted by Carl on Jan 4, 2019 Episode 181 of The Independent Characters brings you our 2018 wrap-up episode. Let me just first say that if you do not like our Hobby Progress segments, we apologize, because this one is extra long, coming in at nearly an hour and a half as we talk about our 2018 commitments, where we succeeded or failed, and then make new ones for 2019. There is also quite a bit that was...

Posted by Carl on Dec 16, 2018 Episode 179 of The Independent Characters brings you a somewhat silly episode. We were lucky enough to have three very special guests. Jason Mullins from the Sons of Heresy Podcast, Adam Fasoldt (Loopy) from the Masters of The Forge Podcast, and Robo Ed from Life After the Cover save! Since Carl had all three of these individuals at his house, he felt it would be a travesty not to...

Posted by Carl on Dec 3, 2018 Episode 178 of The Independent Characters brings you about two and a half hours of fun, laughter, and Warhammer 40k. Not necessarily in that order. We have our usual Hobby Progress and Games Played section which goes on for quite awhile as we have three guests in studio. However, the conversation diverges here from time to time and we bring up some interesting points along the...

Posted by Carl on Oct 29, 2018 Episode 177 of The Independent Characters brings you nearly three hours of entertainment!

Posted by Carl on Oct 8, 2018 Episode 176 of The Independent Characters is finally here! We bring you nearly three hours of content… and yes, as some of you had feared, we have a slight echo in the new Astronomicon. We will have that fixed before next episode though and it isn’t terrible. This episode we are discussing the “Pillars” of the Warhammer 40k Hobby. These are the components...

After our standard Hobby Progress section, we spend some time discussing Chapter Approved 2017 – and where we think and hope it would go in 2018.
