The First Episode of RantCast recorded after moving into my new house and it doesn't disappoint. Chuck Moore is becoming a regular and always brings a levity and pure joy to discussions. He also brought his American flag! Tom Lyons on the other hand is making his debut as a guest and really puts displays a range of thoughts and takes that showcase another side of him you might not get on Warhammer Weekly. We go down rabbit holes, roast each other some, and even let Tom unleash his Lumineth Conspiracy the Hashut Heresy.   

I could write several paragraphs and not do this description justice. Just watch it. It's amazing.   

Also be sure to check out Chuck Moore's podcast Strength Hammer here on YouTube and Anchor. In particular for more of just us riffing, give Episode 6 of Strength Hammer a listen. We talk a lot about this new landscape and even talk about aliens.

Two of my personal hobby heroes, Brice and Martin Orlando join me to talk about Lumineth Realm-Lords from an unexpectedly deeper level than I had planned for. Yeah, it's elven propaganda but it's far less shameless than I had hoped for. Still, we bring the humor and hot takes as the co-conductors of the Pointy Aelf hype train take me through their experiences with the Online Reveals of this divisive army.

The exceedingly humble and eminently inspiring Tyler Emerson of Scruby & Wells fame and regular on Warhammer Weekly joins me for a special list episode!

The final puzzle piece of how RantCast came to be is delivered with a reminiscing about Nashcon and we wrap up on Tyler interviewing me about Ossiarch Bonereapers followed by his thoughts on how to fix Sylvaneth.

AoS RantCast 36: List Science 3: WAAC or Wacky? w/ Dr. Alex Mylonas21 Feb 202002:08:17

Dr. Alex is so busy asking if he can do something with list science that he never stops to think about if he should in episode 36 of RantCast. He shares three lists that span Cities of Sigmar, Stormcast Eternals, and Tzeentch plus a doubles list I've taken to calling Cream+Cities. We also manage to meander onto the topic, once more, of how to build your own narrative on the table with your list.    

As for the question of WAAC vs Wacky we decide there's room for both plus... I go full JUST AS PLANNED and actually talk about the boogeyman in the room, Tzeentch.

AOS RantCast 15: Ossiarch Bonreapers Battletome Review w/ Brendan "Double Dragon" Melnick30 Oct 201903:31:06

Brendan, decidedly a winner, Melnick got a hold of my password and hijacked episode 15 of RantCast. After wrestling control away from him, we discuss the Ossiarch Bonereapers Battletome.    

I gambled when I booked this episode thinking the tome would be out. It's not but we had leaks enough to put together a review anyway and honestly it's probably the most RantCast way of doing one. Chat's participation saves the day, Brendan's recall and the notes I stole from Frank help us meander through the most RantCast Review ever.

This RantCast covers the game of Age of Sigmar from a competitive player's perspective.

AOS RantCast 2: Unabashed Ossiarch Bonereapers Hype! w/ Heywoah29 Sep 201901:58:18

The episode that in my opinion started it all!

GW Previewed the Ossiarch Bonereapers at NOVA and I basically couldn't contain my body so I grabbed Heywoah and made a hypecast instead of my usual Rantcast. We talk about the new release for AOS along with Mawtribes, hang on the Peripherals of a D&D Chat, dabble in some MTG Old Skool, and finish by Answering Questions. Enjoy!
