Skavenblight Radio

Welcome to Episode 4

noreply@blogger.com (Chris W) — Fri, 13 Dec 2013 12:23:00 +0000

Since we were so late recording the last episode we decided to just skip a month and try and get back to the regular 13th release date by delaying it a little more.

Chris and Dan talk about what they have been up to, the Escalation tournament at the North West Games Centre, and are joined by Mathusala0 for a Skaven magic lore review/tactica.

Episode 3

noreply@blogger.com (Chris W) — Mon, 14 Oct 2013 23:52:00 +0000

Welcome to Episode 3.

Chris and Dan talk about what they have been up to, how to take better model pictures, what caught their eye on the underempire.net Skaven forum, a couple of recent tournaments they have been to and cover some requests talking about rat-stars and wither.

A quick warning/disclaimer:
We have always had a degree of adult language in the podcast but in this one we get a little carried away with it, we must have both been on the sweary juice.
We have a bit of talk about piracy, we do not endorse piracy and even if it sounds like we are doing so, please take it in the tongue-in-cheek fashion in which it was intended.

Edit: I am apparently an idiot - warlocks get doombolt and soulblight (not doom and darkness). Still makes them very nasty, just not quite in the same way.

Welcome to Episode 2

noreply@blogger.com (Chris W) — Sat, 14 Sep 2013 13:42:00 +0000

Welcome to Episode 2.

Chris and Dan talk about what they have been upto, Dan's new army (not Skaven. Boo, Hiss!), what caught their eye on the underempire.net Skaven forum,
the recent tournament they both went to at The Outpost in Sheffield along with some chat about how the Daemons of Chaos book is working out now people have had a chance to get used to it.
They also chat about the Underempire council elections and the rumours of Dark Elves arriving soon.

Links for our favourite therads are:
Krajji's Horde - Clan Rlyejj

Keep your eye out for our underempire.net council special with Dan bullying some council members, the launch of the Skavenblight Radio website and some painting/hobby videos coming soon.

Sorry if we ran a bit long for some people's tastes. We plan to get the main show out on the Dreaded 13th of every month from now on with an occasional special at the start/end of the month which should help us keep the length to the less than an hour that is our theoretical goal.

Skavenblight Radio: Lizardman Special

noreply@blogger.com (Chris W) — Sun, 11 Aug 2013 10:17:00 +0000

Dan and Math (Mathusala0) go through the new Lizardman book having a chat about how the rules have changed and what's new, particularly in relation to how it effects them when up against Skaven.

I think my highlight was Math trying to keep his language somewhat under control when he hears the name of the author.

And So It Begins...

noreply@blogger.com (Chris W) — Fri, 26 Jul 2013 16:13:00 +0000

Hey there!

A couple of weeks ago the HeelanHammer podcast did a dedicated Skaven episode. It got a few of us UnderEmpire forum regulars thinking that a Skaven podcast would be pretty cool. We kind of thought that it would end up being one of those forum things that never really goes anywhere, but thanks in large part to SkavenDan we actually got our shit together and recorded a test episode.
We have quite a few ideas for further episodes and are planning to make this actually be a thing.

I thought I would put up a blog as an easy way for you to keep track of what was going on with it. Both a bit of behind the scenes as we work on the trials and tribulations caused by a bunch of guys (girls are welcome too, but let's face it warhammer is mostly guys...) who only know each other though a forum trying to put together a workable podcast.

I have a few ideas of what to put up on the blog:

New episode announcements
Behind the scenes stuff to help out other people who want to get into podcasting
Highlights of stuff on the Underempire forums

That said, here is the first thing I wanted to share: Episode 0, our test podcast.
Please note this is an adult podcast. We don't swear (what I would consider) excessively, but there is some bad language right from the start.
