Episode 110 - Mission Design in Warhammer 40k

In Episode 110 of The Independent Characters we talk about the process of building missions in Warhammer 40k. Whether you want to create (or leverage!) the ultimate 40k Tournament Missions, or make a really exciting and fun narrative mission for your event or friends, this is the episode you want to listen to We enlist aid from some of the best in the tournament scene at the moment to delve into their different (but somewhat similar) philosophies on mission design and what makes for a balanced experience. Reece Robbins (of The Las Vegas Open and Frontline Gaming) and Mike Brandt (of the NOVA Open and NOVA Open Charitable Foundatin) both join us to give us some insight into how the missions for their respective events were developed. As usual we have our Hobby Progress and games played, which is quite extensive as we participated in a few events over this period of time! That's not enough you say!? Ok then - how about we throw in a long interview with none other than Black Library author, and probably secret Chaos agent, Aaron Dembski-Bowden for good measure!? This is an amazing interview with insight into many things Black Library and his latest novel The Talon of Horus (on sale now!) without any spoilers.   Time Stamps: 0:00:00 - Show Intro and host introduction 0:07:45 - Workbench and Games Played 0:33:45 - Developing Missions in Warhammer 40k 1:27:35 - Interview with Reece Robbins (Las Vegas Open) 1:45:00 - Interview with Mike Brandt (NOVA Open) 2:11:35 - Interview with Aaron Dembski-Bowden 2:46:20 - Final Thoughts and Show Closing   Relevant Links: KR Multicase - SPONSOR Secret Weapon Miniatures! - SPONSOR Smells Like Wargaming - SPONSOR Spruehammer - SPONSOR Wargamma - SPONSOR 2014 Hobby Progress Challenge Forge World Games Workshop The Black Library The Talon of Horus by Aaron Dembski-Bowden The Las Vegas Open The Las Vegas Open Missions The NOVA Open The NOVA Open Mission Pack (PDF)
