We have special guest Mike with us to talk about his experiences working at Endgame Oakland and running events there. We of course talk Hobby Progress and games played. We also have a...

Posted by Carl on Jul 6, 2014 Episode 104 of The Independent Characters has us returning to our Show of Force segment. This time the subject is The Primoridal Annihilator, or demons to those who don’t dwell in the dark corners of the galaxy!

Posted by Carl on Jun 15, 2014 Episode 103 is a new format for shows, in which we cover topics that are perhaps not lengthy enough to warrant an episode entirely on their own, but can be strung together into several segments. We refer to these as Dataslate episodes. In this episode we have a discussion of the use of Technology and 40k. From Facebook, Blogs, to apps and tablets. We discuss how we have used these...

It has been a long journey for us to get here and we take a brief look back on how far we have come over the last four years.

We spend some time...

We go into great detail about many aspects of the Dark Angels army and how Games Workshop supports them.

Posted by Carl on Apr 10, 2014 I had some time to sit down with Dave Taylor of Dave Taylor Miniatures and discuss his new business as well as spend some time talking to him about his, very different, approach to assembling large Forge World Models! I think Dave does a great job of de-mystifying these models, and provides some amazing advice. I really wanted to thank Dave for taking the time to sit down and talk...
