In the last few days I've received several emails that I think show a far sweeping issue. Many people haven't updated their link to dicelikethunder.com!

If you're still using the old libsyn site you're getting the news feed, but nothing else. So reset that bookmark to dicelikethunder.com!

Also, several people have asked where they can donate. The Donate button is right there on the left side of the screen, near the barrel of the bolter! All donations are VERY MUCH appreciated, and anything we get over the amount needed to keep the show going (about $40 a month) goes to prizes and fan support!

So feel free to donate a buck or two or 20... or eleventy million if you feel motivated and able. We really appreciate the vote of confidence!

It's just how we roll.

Blood Angels and Tyranids? We're still holding out for Space Dwarves!

For this show, Dan/Jon/Chris/Rich/sometimes Skrivus and special guest LEWIS, we discuss some Gamesday Italy rumors for Nids and Blooad Angels and the coming year of some 40K (but mostly Fantasy) releases from GW.

Then we get into buying armies for cheap and how eBay is your friend. Then prophet Dan gives us his 7 eBay rules and how to shop smart....shop S-Mart!

Finally, we Buttal/Rebuttal with IVC on how mechanised infantry may or may not be the way to go. We close some with mish mash and jibber jabber for another late recording night!

We hope you enjoy this show but we especially hope you notice we don't know how to finish......<that's what she said!>

In this weeks episode we...

Discuss Rogue Trader. An awesome new book in the Warhammer 40k Roleplaying line up. We love it... especially the art.

Then we stream of consciousness a bit just to see how you guys like it.

Those of us who know the rules of 40k talk about Footslogging an army as opposed to mechanized lists.

We talk a lot about the future of 40k, in game terms. What does the 42nd millennium bring? What do you think will happen? RAMPANT SPECULATION! WOOT!

Then we have a buttal/rebuttal that is sure to delight and terrify you. SPOOOKY MARINES! No not really spooky at all. It's about Loyalists and Chaos Marines.

I tried to think of something else to talk about, but I couldn't.

In this episode, we try to make lederhosen cool again!

Rich, Dan and Jon are joined by C-Swizzy again - back by popular demand.

In the first segment, we get into some rumors and rumor control regarding Tyranids and Space Wolves.

In the second segment, we get into some upcoming Black Library novels and then Dan attempts to break down the Space Wolves codex. You will either be one of the mass of people playing it or crying about codex creep. We round out this segment by discussing Rich's Chaos Intervention and some of the changes he's made with his back to basics approach. He also gives you an assignment.

The third segment starts off with our Buttal/Rebuttal on people spending large amounts of money usually equaling a tournament win. And we finish the segment and show with some rambling and nonsense.

We hope you enjoy this episode and hope you never find stained boxers that aren't yours in your underwear drawer.

We start off this episode talking about Nidz and the new Space Wolves box sets.  I'm really enjoying them!  There are some rumors and some blatant speculation on our part when it comes to Nidz and some great joy over the Wolves boxes.

Our second segment involves me admitting that I missed the tournament I was prep'ing for cus I'm really really dumb and got my dates mixed up.

Our last segment involves me mispronouncing this word over and over again.  As well we talk about the Eldar and the birth of Slaanesh along with unit redundancy as our first "Buttal & Rebuttal".

Enjoy!

For this episode, we want you to consider that you are the cause of it all going wrong.

In this most excellent and always on schedule webcast, Rich, Dan, Jon and O-Steve have nearly the greatest adventure ever told. In the first segment which Dan walks in on, we discuss some stuff in a discombobulated manner.

For the second segment, we discuss some battle reports and Richard begs for an intervention. We get into some Planetary Empires chatter and the Veteran Gamer Conglomerate of Jon and Dan press their case for mechanic changes to PE while Richard turns aside their advances. To close out this segment, we get into the different types of people that are into this hobby. Which are you?

To close out the show we press home the importance of extending hobby etiquette to the internet venues you visit. Then we have a pseudo OR/UR while simultaneously asking you to crack open your rules book for a "Did You Know?" segment.

We hope you enjoy this webcast and want you to know that your backside would make an excellent vase.

Really that is all there is too it... check out our newest document.  It's our campaign setting and we are very proud!

Set in the Forge Star sector, dozens of armies fight for survival as a strange force brings armies together. With warp travel and communication blocked the forces quickly turn on each other. Who will survive as the star at the center of the solar system slowly shifts colors and powerful new enemies awaken.

This book contains 3 new variant armies (Necrons, Marines and Guard) as well as special characters and assets for every force!

Here is another completely unprofessional recording of 3 guys talking overly opinionatedly about a topic you are trying desperately to enjoy.

In the first segment we discuss Space Wolves (cus you can't escape it) and Kevin and Mack talk about how much they are enjoying Space Hulk.

In the second segment the guys talk about Dark Heresy (trying out a new segment they are unsure of) and then they say the word "Synergy" 419 times while trying to discuss how that word works it's way into 40k armies.

In our last segment the guys forget that they received the most AWESOME LIMERICK EVER and instead just talk about the Timeline of 40k in general.

Then there is some crying and maybe a bit of hidden blooper love.

Ever wonder what an inside out anus looks like? Listen and you may find out.

Tonight we cover such diverse topics as 40K and 40K and yet more 40K. Joined by Casey and Nick, we delve into the painting of Planetary Empires and the fun that can be had. We also find out Skrivus is 'that guy' (on some level) and that Richard can be a poor sport.

For the second segment we get into the playing of Planetary Empires and talk about 4 battles for PE involving our 750 lists. We also discuss what went right and what went wrong in our buffed up lists. In this segment, we find out that Dan is a list-tooling douche.

And the third segment is comprised of an email by Raistlin inviting Richard and Dan out to dinner with his wife - we accepted. We also get into some over-rated/under-rated about Librarians and uberlists and round things out with "Did You Know?"

This episode comes with the FDA stamp of approval concerning maximum fecal matter levels for general consumption.

As usual, these are the show notes so that I don't forget what we did. Expect the actual show within about 16 hours.
