ironcagepodcast@gmail.com (Ben, Craig, James, Manni) — Fri, 10 Jan 2025 20:50:00 +0000

***** TEMPORAL EVENT WARNING *****

Note from James: This episode is coming at you out of order while we figure out how to deliver you a consistent Ironcage Podcast after we fell off last year.

We're finally back from a year of personal disasters and poor health to bring you an out of sequence event!

This episode we go into what's been silencing our flow, what we've been up to, and finally we reflect on 2024 with some game/release of year deliberations.

We'd love to hear feedback on categories you'd like to hear us adjudicate next year, or reach out if you're looking to catch a game in any of the systems we play;

#1 Manni - @dungeons_and_melta

# These losers haven't even figured out who #2 is yet; get it together, nerds.

The Ironcage Podcast - Episode 44

ironcagepodcast@gmail.com (Ben, Craig, James, Manni) — Tue, 02 Jul 2024 09:18:00 +0000

This week we dive into a crackpot idea James had for writing a 3000 point list for 30K making use of something legion specific.

ironcagepodcast@gmail.com (Ben, Craig, James, Manni) — Wed, 29 May 2024 20:09:00 +0000

Welcome back for Episode 43 where we talk about a bunch of games from a now not so recent Mournival 2 day event.

We then get into some rules discussion I for one would prefer we hadn't talked about.

ironcagepodcast@gmail.com (Ben, Craig, James, Manni) — Wed, 22 May 2024 09:31:00 +0000

Finally we are back, after some horrifically back editing and stitching of poop-tier audio. James' audio almost sank this episode, but luckily for you this is the last of the Iron Coast recordings.

A call has been put out for the scummiest of 30K lists, listen in to this episode where we basically use entrapment to trick people into outing their innermost bastard.

EPISODE 41 - SNAKE ATTACK

We had plans to cover the our games, hobby progress, our plans for the next ME campaign and Blackshield / Shattered legion rumours. Some of these things were dropped when Ben displeased Wadjet and was cursed with a plague of snakes.

If you are equally surprised that I ended the podcast on Snakes by Papa Roach, please feel free to guess at which host to complain to below;

Everyone is here again this week and we talk about 30K, Battletech, The Old World and maybe even Warmahordes.

This is a great episode, the whole Ironcrew get together to talk about a bunch of games they played at a the first Madrigal Event.

Then we move into a really important segment where we attempt to fix up some of the lesser known Legion Consuls.

Apologies for the delay in getting this one to you, it had some audio issues that we couldn't resolve.

Great episode, Manni is prison again so we decide to get into ranking 90s cartoons into tiers.

The Ironcage Podcast - Episode 36

ironcagepodcast@gmail.com (Ben, Craig, James, Manni) — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 07:41:00 +0000

This episode starts off rocky with a talk about haunted houses completely off topic. It gets worse as we talk about the quality of life improvements a vortex paint mixer will grant you.

I would personally like to apologise for yet another talk about Evangelion on this episode.

Oh where was I? Ahh, I almost forgot; the rest of this episode we rank the Legion Lords of War in tiers S - F.

If you would like to tell us how we got the tiers wrong please feel free to share your crappy and objectively wrong opinions with us on social media below;

The Ironcage Podcast - Episode 35

ironcagepodcast@gmail.com (Ben, Craig, James, Manni) — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 19:21:00 +0000

This is a cursed episode, Ben peals back the web of misinformation and propaganda that Manni has woven around the Salamanders legion to conceal their true strength.

We then talk about Technoman, Cheese TV and Zoids for far too long.

Craig and James ramble like the grumpy old men they are, perhaps this is the start of Iron Clans, a new Battletech division of the podcast devoted solely to the manipulation of spreadsheets.

The Ironcage Podcast - Episode 34

ironcagepodcast@gmail.com (Ben, Craig, James, Manni) — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 20:13:00 +0000

Finally; after a year of podcasting the crew begins to take show notes to write up a meaningful description.

First up James, our resident lunatic is making a silent dice tray, and rambles at the other hosts until they silence him.

Then we move into a battle of wits between Manni and James; Manni has learnt of James' latest plot which if left unchecked would allow him to run a unit of Angel's Tears as troops in his Alphalegion Destroyer company ZM force. Will Manni be able to prevent this nonsense?

Which brings us finally to the meat of the episode; the hosts dig into the conclusion of the Murder in Mortdale event. We talk about James' list tailoring to beat Manni, and the consequences of his failure.

Do you want to get excited for Legions Imperialis and The Old World? Come dive in with us on social media;

The Ironcage Podcast - Episode 33

ironcagepodcast@gmail.com (Ben, Craig, James, Manni) — Wed, 10 Jan 2024 09:24:00 +0000

This episode we are absent Manni who has been red carded for insider trading, match fixing and other nefarious plots.

We take this opportunity to talk about a game of LIMP that Ben DM'd for James and foreign correspondent Mitch. We also get into the true issues with starting your LIMP adventure now, and it's not any of the gimmick issues with the miniatures or packaging.

Finally, Ben's schemes bear fruit and the last segment of the episode we write James a list for him to take a run at Manni and end the Villainy of his Ashen Claws.

ironcagepodcast@gmail.com (Ben, Craig, James, Manni) — Tue, 09 Jan 2024 23:22:00 +0000

This episode we get in to some of the big changes from Games Workshop FAQ, what we liked and what sucks. We don't review ME 1.6 but we would like to before EOHCON at the end of the month.

In the meat of the conversation Ben walks us through his expert impressions of LIMP and we discuss weird issues with the game and what is missing currently.

The heretic half of the ME 1.5 rules updates.

Be aware there are two bits where the audio is messed up. It only goes for about a minute, you can struggle through or skip ahead.

Now on to the rest; we also discuss the culmination of the event series that the Mournival crew has been playing most of this year.

But that's not all, The Commissioner has been doing a census for the biggest scumbag units in the game, and he's going to start taxing you dummies now. We get into the results of the poll.

This episode is part A of us going over the ME 1.5 players pack. We talk through it with regards to our current armies, what we've been encountering on the table and new projects that we're inspired for.

With the release of GW's latest FAQs there is a ME 1.6 pack that will either be in draft or finalized before both these episodes come out. We will take some time to go over that as soon as we can, you should spend some time learning the changes and how it affects your army before the next event.
