Hive Scum – Details, episodes & analysis

Ya'll remember that movie the Warriors? It's a bit like all of the factions in the BroPro world, if you don't know it, check out link. Good movie. Today we go over all the review on the back-end of the Brothers of Promethium event. Our favorite moments, what we could improve, and why you should just give it a go in your own local scene and not give a damn if you have a few hiccups along the way. On top of that, Steve is still on his OPR regiments wave, and talks about running learn to play sessions, and Blerz's (@blerzcraft) rank and flank Beastman army, Terry talks about improv as GM in wargaming, Phil breaks down his game of Age of Sigmar against Pauly Mordheim's Stormcast, and Gage talks about playing 20 person DND games, giving away sprues, and overthinking during the painting process.

Yea it's sick, Hive Scum is back with another salty little snack for you. We've got a lot jammed packed into this one - but it's still mostly nonsense. We talk some smashbash and break down our builds, then talk about where our tastes lie with rules in wargaming on the spectrum that is rule-light to crunchy. Steve talks about playing One Page Rules Regiments, and using his smashbash for siege games with Maggot Ian, Gage plays question-master when it comes to our "rules" topic, and explains how he used a human skull from an amazon employee to make his bash this year. Terry makes it very apparent he hasn't really read the rules for his undead army and how too many rules breaks his immersion and finally Phil shows off his (awesome) paintjob first model for Brothers of Promethium and talks a little about his outing to see Heilung with Gage. Plenty of bad jokes and bad takes ahead - sure to delight the senses.

Bash the Planet! Your local boys are at it again, and now finally we are diggin into some more personal projects around the studio. We talk about what we are up to post-event craziness, and which games we have been crushing on lately. Then we take a heady little detour and lay out a bit more of the Brothers of Promethium setting. We break down what the world is like and all came up with warband ideas, scenarios, and possible game systems we could use to make this 40k setting feel fully realized in the coming months. Gage talks a bit about hanging out and gaming at the North East Dungeon Siege. Phil breaks down a very badass PG-13 Ad Mech warband idea, Terry explains why you should send him all your Gen1 Army Painter Speedpaint and Steve talks bout painting a Averland Empire Army to play OPR Regiments (it looks so good).

It's a late-night episode of Hive Scum, so be prepared for a silly one. Steve, Gage and Phil are back to the studio after Adepticon and Terry is ready to interrogate them. Steve explains how he tried to save Phil from selling off his 40k army for peanuts. Gage tells us about chlorine huffing in the historical building, and Five Nights at Freddy's merch. Phil talks about how the team tournament and their crazy display builds blew his mind once again this year, and Terry struggles through his FOMO and bugs his compatriots for more details. Be prepared for next year to flood the Golden Demon cases with your dirtbag creations, and get stoked for Rusted Demon. There's a lot of good little nuggets in this episode to get you excited for the future of this silly little hobby of ours.

Choo-choo buckaroo, you made it back, and we are proud of you. To all the folks who went, and are listening to this post-Adepticon, hopefully this carries you back to your homelands, where you can get a little sleep after some late-night hangs with the HS crew. In this episode we're back to our goofy selves, our topic for today was raised by Phil and we take a look at inspiration that we glean from historical, real life, or mythology and folklore. Gage talks about he's bad with historical events but how Greek mythology really floats his boat, Terry remembers how inspirational Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was, Steve breaks down why the new Matrix movie is meta-cool and how real life atrocities can kick off ideas for dark settings. Paul talks about why his warband leader needs to be dripped out and Phil strings us along on a yarn and explains how he develops his characters using real life historical figures. By the end of this you're gonna be begging for a tribal sleeve that goes up to your neck (go see From Dusk til Dawn).

Jump on in mfer, we're going to Adepticon! It's a couple weeks out but not too soon to talk about it. In this episode we break down what to expect, both from our grimy side of the con, as well as our favorite parts of the con as a whole. A lot of our listeners will be going for the first time this year, and hopefully this'll give you a good idea of what to look for! It's five of us today, as Terry is back from Dadcation, and Paul's here too as our resident Adepticon first-timer. Gage talks about his board for his Forbidden Psalm scenario and tells us about middle-of-the-road Chinese food. Steve explains when to get the best deals, and how to clean up on loose sprues. Terry talks a bit about how hobby life is as a new dad, and reminds us about the hidden historical wargame hotel. Paul came stacked with great questions about the event, and discusses the Earthsea cycle and Elden Ring. Phil is a menacing presence and tells you why you should be walking around looking over shoulders at what cool games people are playing. Whether you've been there before, it's your first time, or you want a taste of what the party is like, come along and ride on a Fantastic Voyage.

He came from Planet Piss, he's just alright at painting, he's everyone favorite historical fanatic... Dark Tyler (@tylerisalrightatpainting) has joined us for another sick little episode of Hive Scum! This week Phil really wields the sword and leads us on a discussion of Sci-fi vs. Fantasy. Tyler chats about historical accuracy, his love for low fantasy and Robert Eggers. Steve explains whispered theories of the 40k ties to the Old World, and Gage talks about high fantasy and how the more outlandish the story the better in contrast to Phil's "Bronze Age or Bust" mindset. We've got a lot of ground to cover, see you in the trenches!

Thanks for joining us for Episode 26. We're on the back-end of NEMO and boy, what a wild ride. Paulie Mordheim (@wyrdstoned) is back in the saddle again as we bring you a bit of a twofer-doofer. We start the episode with a look back at the event, how we feel it went, and what we can do about next year. The second half of the episode puts you right in the action, coming live from NEMO 2024. Joining us are some old pals like Cole (@colecifer_xxviii) and Matt (@totally_not_panicking) and some new friends who travelled a long way to be with us like Sam (@cupboard_of_shame), Dave (@shootypunchy), and Brandon (@banway99) among many others. You'll hear about the return of Sprite Kid, how Paul of Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean feels about zenithal highlights, and of course it wouldn't be grimdark if our arch nemeses the Wiers didn't show up on the mic as well!

The gates of Mordheim grow ever closer! Shoutout to all those scumlords who are heading to NEMO this weekend, we are putting this out a couple days early to give you something to enjoy during your travels!

Thanks for joining us for Episode 25. Today we've officially ousted Terry and replaced him with the much more handsome Paulie Mordheim (@wyrdstoned). Paul brought us our topic for today, "what type of gamer are you?" What do we like in a game, what do we look for in a game, what do we want to get out of a game, and how does the hobby side tie into it all? Phil talks about how he creates his narratives in his head through the act of playing the game, and Steve talks his love for Morrowind and how it informed his obsession for exploration rolls. Paul talks about almost losing an eye pewter casting, and Gage talks about how it's style over everything in gaming, starting with a seed of a narrative prompt and building off it.

SEE YOU TOMORROW IN THE CITY OF THE DAMNED!
