Masters of the Forge Episode 096 - Dark Imperium Jul 02, 2017

Show notes

We're back in the saddle again! We've decided to move back to a bi-weekly format with our triumphant return to broadcasting. We thought it would only be appropriate to discuss the new lore and the new novel by Guy Haley which is set in this era. We were fortunate enough to also be joined by Guy Haley for this episode. Beware! We have an obnoxiously long hobby progress section in the Intro!

This will be our last show for at least a month, but it's a great one! The two novels about the Phoenix Lords by Gav Thorpe have loads of exposition for the Eldar and the history of the 40k lore. You don't want to miss this episode. Note that there are super duper tons of spoilers in here.

Masters of the Forge Episode 092 – Rise of the Primarch Part 2 May 03, 2017

Show notes

More Guilliman talk with Adam, Jason, and special guest, Skippicus. We delve into the narrative and missions for the second half of the Gathering Storm III: Rise of the Primarch. We're still figuring out our recording situation when three people are present, so this one's a little tinny, but Jason worked that sound doctor magic on it.

Masters of the Forge Episode 089 – Imperial Knight Houses - The Gallant Stand Apr 02, 2017

Show notes

With everyone else busy with Real Life ®, Adam has taken some time to write a short story featuring both his Knight House, House Draco, and his Space Marines Chapter, the Star Eagles. He hopes you don't mind his clumsy accents and his sanctimony. He can't get enough sanctimony. Thanks to Pete from NGC 40k for assistance with the voice filters.
