Episode 28 - Taken too soon

Helm and Bodz dig deep for hosts this week, bringing out our resident Grey-bush and favourite battle bro, Darren. And for his first airtime experience our newest Battle Brother and purveyor of extra short ranger panties, Dayton.

The boys start with hobby time, and were rocked mid-show by news of Geoff 'incontrol' Robinson's sudden passing.

Our condolences go out to Geoff's family, friends, and teammates. We've lost a 40k and esport icon, our favourite podcast host, and an all round amazing player.

We drink to Geoff tonight, and roll dice in his memory. RIP Incontrol.

The Good Ol' Hobby Game Jul 21, 2019

Episode 27 - The Good Ol' Hobby Game

Lucas, Cody and George kick the Matts to the curb for a hobby centric episode that focuses on breaking motivation streaks and fulfilling commitments.

Lucas makes light of painting up 3 vulture gunships in one sitting, Cody talks building tables and making decisions about army wide paint level commitments, and George spends his last show talking valiant while he puts down the last few paint strokes.

This episode is a bit more laid back than those of late, but we'll be bringing the heat again in the future.

Until then, keep your hobby stick on the ice.

Episode 26 - Calling a Spade a Spade

Lucas is dead. Sorry.

George, Bodz, Helm and Cody come together to discuss some hobby time, contrast paints and upcoming tournaments.

We hear whether any of the Bros bagged tickets to the premier VGR event, Slaughterfest 2019, and what kinds of match ups we hope to see.

The conversations heads in the direct of opinions on personalities, and no one is safe, including other podcasts, spikey hobby bloggers, team name thieves, and the like.

Expect honesty from the Bros and you won't be disappointed...

...Except regarding Lucas being dead. He's alive, well, and returning for our next show.

Episode 25 - Going Deep w/ Shane Watts & Rob Porter

This special episode brings the peak of professional unprofessionalism to your ear holes.

Bodz, Lucas and Helm take turns grilling esteemed guests brave enough to join our show.

First up, Shane Watts, the top Custodian in the ITC 2018 and expected to repeat this year as he has a commanding lead over Mr, Bodnarchuk himself in every way but Hobby Track. We sling some shit, and problem convince him never to be on the show again.

Then, Rob Porter of the Mugu Legion, OG Wargamer, Alaskan Crusader and clean as it comes General on the tabletop. We discuss travelling to play the Game we love and when it makes sense to do so, point for point. We revisit some of his experiences from Storm where the Battle Bros regularly clash with the MuGu Legion. And similarly convince Rob never to be recorded by us again.

As always, we want to take a moment to prostitute ourselves and support a local hobby shop.

Episode 24 - Kiss the Ring

The Storm of Silence 2019 has passed and only stories and experiences lie in its wake. Oh and one giant glass trophy in the Bodnarchuk trophy cabinet.

Lucas, Bodz, George, Cody and Helm come together to review the highs and lows of the greatest event held in May, the Storm of Silence.

Bodz achieved another first among Bros, a Best Overall finish at a Major GT. Cody tells us about coming Best and Worst in Faction for Renegade Knights, Helm shares his experience travelling to the Pacific Northwest, taking in all Spokane has to offer (all the Coors Light that is). George and Lucas round it out, discussing how great saving their dignity was by just barely finishing higher than Kearney in the rankings.

Finally, we hear some amazing stories of action after the dice stopped rolling, Nights out, and foolish decisions abound. Three words to describe it all will be worth hearing as well.

Tune in for another exciting tourney recap from the Battle Brothers.

Jim Vesal Special: Hole Hobbyists May 01, 2019

Episode 22 - Jim Vesal Special: Hole Hobbyists

2019 ITC Champion Contender Jim Vesal joins Bodz, Helm and George for a less than customary pole smoking interview.

Fresh off his win in Vancouver, BC at the 2019 Wet Coast Major GT, the current Hobby Track Numero Uno shares with us his process and approach to painting the beautiful models that grace his competitive forces and he makes those beautiful models do work on the tabletop.

We hear about Jim's pre and post game process, and he shares some candid advice for indecisive newer players like Lucas that have a tough time sticking to a list; hint hint, sticking with it eventually translates to wins.

Lucas joins the Bros to introduce a new Battle Brother for the spring as things heat up in Canada, and proceed to start laying out plans for an upcoming May event, the Storm of Silence.

Special thanks to Jim Vesal for joining us for some laughs.

Oh ya, and we actually got sponsored!

Nights Pro Coaching Review and Other Shenanigans Apr 18, 2019

Episode 21 - Nights Pro Coaching Review and Other Shenanigans

Join Lucas, Bodz, Helm and Cody for an honest opinion of the Nights Pro Coaching service and some Battle Brother feedback for the service, assuming by some laughable miracle that they actually listen.

Not everyone gets out alive, including George, while the Battle Bros predict which special service might have taken him away from recording this week.

Join us on the couches for the usual favourites: hobby time that inevitably spirals into asinine toilet humour, games played which highlights how pitifully hopeless we are (even you Helm), and some shout outs to our glorious listener.

Crack that cold one, lick your brush, and agree, disagree or remain indifferent on the topics of the week.

If Bodz is Away the Bros will Slay Apr 06, 2019

Episode 20 - If Bodz is Away the Bros will Slay

Bodz was a bit too busy giving VGR Andy under-the-table handshakes to join the rest of the Bros this week on the couches.

Matt Helm steps in to fill his boots as we get updated on hobby time and Helmet's Experience at the Desperate Allies Major GT in Arkansas.

We branch out to dive deep into the topic of coaching: should you paying for it, how to receive it, or why we hate it, and we get Lucas's heartfelt opinion on The Best General Podcast's own Adam A and his decision to dump blood angels to "chase the Meta".

You're getting some hard truths, honest opinions, and shit talking this show despite big man Bodz not being present.

We're sure Bodz will have plenty to say after listening to this one...if he listens to this one.
