Episode 120 - Joining The Horus Heresy

Episode 120 of The Independent Characters clocks in at almost three hours to make up for the last short episode. Carl is joined by Jason Mullins of The Overlords Podcast as well as Michael Dunsmore from our local gaming group for a lengthy discussion about how to get involved with Horus Heresy Gaming (also known as 30k). We take some time to talk about some of the fundamentals of 30k and what our approaches were to getting into it. We have a pretty lengthy hobby progress and games played segment this episode - which as it so happens, coincides with the overall theme. We talk about some of our 30k games played in the last couple of weeks and some things we have learned. On top of that Aaron shows up to surprise Carl with a going away gift, the likes of which he could not believe. Thank you so very much for all those who contributed and who listen to the show. As it turns out, we now have a copy of Imperial Armour: The Siege of Vraks in hand, and it is virtually impossible for us to end the show without covering that one... so we have extended the show another episode before we close the door. Our suspicion is that Horus Heresy Book 5 is going to release before the end as well... so we MAY end up extending it even another episode... we shall see!   Time Stamps: 0:00:00 - Show Intro and Host Introduction 0:02:35 - Workbench and Hobby Progress 1:08:35 - Horus Heresy Gaming (Part 1) 2:08:35 - Horus Heresy Gaming (Part 2) 2:42:30 - 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 A list of all of The IC's Horus Heresy FW Coverage Spellcrow MaxMini Powered Play Gaming
