Topic One – The Douchebags of 40k

DSR takes a slightly more casual approach to the first episode of the new year, with three topics for round table discussion. The boys are joined by Big Jim from Galaxy In Flames and The Custodes for the first topic – the douchebags (AKA Dicks) of the 40K universe. Who you hate, who you should hate, and what’s this? The Emprah himself is one of them? Heresy!

Topic Two – What we miss

For the second round table discussion the boys are joined by Starminer from The Custodes to discuss the things that are missed from the 40K universe and hobby. Gather your hearing aids and zimmerframes as Starminer and Chase reminisce on the “Good Old Days” of Dark Millennium and 2nd Edition. The boys also cover off the joys of VDR, and the White Dwarf of old.

Topic Three – The year ahead and day dreams..

For the third and final round table discussion the boys are joined by Rancor709 from The Custodes to discuss both the year ahead, and what the boys hope to see from Games Workshop in the future. Chase loses it over the Grey Knights release and is not kind as he succumbs to the Black Rage. Stay tuned as the boys also discuss GW’s erratic release schedule, and what it means for 40K players in 2011 and onwards, and their hopes and dreams for the future of the hobby.

Merry Christmas from DSR!

We here at Deepstrike Radio would like to wish all of our listeners a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

For all who have listened, on behalf of all three hosts we thank you for your support. The three months or so since we started this has been a very crazy, very intense time. From our first episode, to establishing The Custodes Forum, to the Dark Eldar review we have learnt lots. Know that 2011 will be a very big year for DSR – we will have some HUGE guests, more competitions, our first Games Day coverage, and much more. Stay tuned for more!

For those who don’t know, we encountered significant techincal problems during our Live Call In Show. Skype and Ustream problems prohibited us from having the show we wanted. We hope to resolve these problems in the next few days, but if we don’t we will provide you with a ‘year wrap up’ show within the week.

Please continue to tell your friends and fellow gamers about DSR – we would love to continue to grow and ever little bit of suppoort helps.

Speaking of support, we must thank those in the Community that have supported us this year. Jeff Carrol from Podhammer and Pat from the 11th Company mainly, but also honourable mentions go to Big Jim from the Galaxy In Flames blog.

So for now, have a great festive season, and we look forward to bringing you many more podcast shenanigans in 2011.

Cheers,

Chris, Chase and Dave.

EPISODE #2 – The Luna Wolf Special

LUPERCAL!!

Quick Note: We are aware of a sound quality issue within the Librarius that affects the podcast from the 25 to 60 minute mark. We apologize for the length of the issue, however we re recorded the entire second half of the show for your enjoyment, so please stick with it, and enjoy the rest of the show. Thanks for Listening.

Thanks for tuning in for Episode Two of Deepstrike Radio. This week, the boys dive deep into the Legion of the mighty Warmaster Horus himself – the Luna Wolves. Join us to Kill for the Living! Kill for the Dead! First up, the boys round out their recent hobby activities, including Chris’s preparation for his first tournament using a Space Marine Bike army.

News in a Flash

This week in News in a Flash, DSR take a look at GW’s new monster carry case. The boys also take a look at some of the new scenic bases to hit the market, and include a rant or two as well.

The Librarius  (40K Lore’s new title)

This week in the Librarius the boys take an in depth look at the favoured Legion of the Luna Wolves, pre heresy style. We examine the fluff behind this inspiring Legion, from the Mournival to the individual characters and their varied personalities.

The boys also discuss the various colour schemes throughout the Heresy, and include a 1750pt list to show how you could put the Luna Wolves on the table if you were so inclined.

The Main Topic – How to select your new army

For Episode Two, the boys decided to dive head first into the difficult topic of selecting a new army. They give consideration to some key points that can shape your decision including fluff vs competitiveness, painting and modelling and above all else, playing what you love.

Free Plug - www.chapterhousestudios.com

The Free Plug for Episode Two goes out to Chapterhouse Studios – a great online store providing a vast range of conversion options for various projects – from Tau Superheavy Walkers to Pre-Heresy Jump Packs to Tyranid Tervigon conversions.

The Hobby Trenches - Building and painting a Pre-Heresy/Heresy Army

Following on from the discussion in the Librarius regarding the Luna Wolves, the boys follow the ‘pre Heresy’ theme through to the Hobby Trenches.  Included in this discussion are possible conversion paths, colour schemes and how they may vary from a current chapter as well as suggesting some places that you may be able to utilise to find existing tutorials or resin bits to make your pre Heresy army ‘pop’ on the tabletop.

In wrapping the show up, the boys announce the show’s very first contest! Up for grabs is a Dark Eldar Codex, with the winner being announced when Episode Three goes to air. But we won’t give it all away, you will have to listen to podcast for that!

Thanks for listening.
