Facing the Grey Tide Podcast

What is up Everyone? This week on the Podcast, Evan, Chandler, and Bryan come together to just talk about the hobby, some fun games we have had over the last couple of weeks, and projects that everyone is working on.  With the Holiday season just around the corner, everyone is looking to get things wrapped up before the end of the year.  Bryan runs down his latest Blood Angels project, Evan talks about Malifaux and some of the 40k games he has played in the last couple of weeks, and Chandler talks about his Malifaux crew he is working on and trying to beat down some Blood Angels in a Malestrom game.

 

 

The Guys go Old School and hold nothing back.

What is up Everyone? This week on the Podcast, Evan and Chandler are happy to sit down and talk with Mr. Paul Murphy on the Eve of the Warzone Atlanta Tournament. We asked Paul to come on to talk about the great sponsors, the amazing prizes, the overall tournament, and also to announce a promotion (look in the show notes below).  We also asked Paul about prepping for tournaments and what he would do not only for the Warzone, but what he would do for any tournament.  Finally we help our buddy Geoff in Toronto with some Blood Angels lists.  I mean, who better to ask about Blood Angels then the Warmaster himself?

 

 

TPM shows up again to help us with a little of everything.

What is up Everyone? This week on the Podcast, Evan, Chandler, and Bryan decide to clear the air, unleash some frustration, and give their opinions on some of the big topics being discussed in the 40k World.  This is something that we have been discussing in private and decided that it might be good to get it out into the world, and get other people's opinions.  We love this game, and we want this game to be as fair and open to everyone as much as possible.

 

 

It is a little early for Festivus, but we are still airing our grievances.

What is up Everyone? This week on the Podcast, Mr. Ben Cromwell joins us to talk about everything from traveling, to sight seeing, to smashing international face. Ben is one of the top players in the nation and has been able to play in the NOVA Invitational, LVO, BAO, ATC, and the ETC. He also comes in to talk about one of the hardest things to do as a Tournament Player: finding a good bar. Totally kidding, we talk about prepping for different tournaments, some of the things to do and not do, and of course, how to have a good time.

 

 

Ben grabs a boogie board and shows us the West Coast Way.

What is up Everyone?  This week, Evan, Chandler, and Bryan bring a friend back from the NOVA.  Mr. John Parsons comes in to talk about the NOVA, Tournaments, Building Lists, and basically how to be a complete BA both on the Table and Off.  He talks about how he preps for big tournaments, what he looks for when building for a tournament, and what can trip lists up when you are at a tournament.  Of course Evan and John have an epic throw down at NOVA by swapping lists.  The boys welcome a new friend onto the show and 

 

 

John brings the knowledge and a lot of humor calling certain things out.

What is up Everyone?  This week on the podcast, Bryan, Ron, Evan, and Chandler sit down to get some business out of the way.  Ron and Evan have both gotten invitations to the Invitational 40k tournament and are bringing some beat face lists but going up against some of the most recognized names in all of 40k.  We also had Geoff from Toronto hit us up and ask for advice in coming up with a fun but competitive Nid List.  Allies are welcome and we sat down to pull our heads together to bring our best, competitive, and fun list we could think of.  Join us as we prepare for NOVA and Crank out some lists for a Loyal Listener.

 

 

The Countdown is on, and The Boys are feeling Pumped!

What is up Everyone?  This week on the podcast, Bryan, Chandler, and Evan sit down to talk about the newest game to come across their tables:  Star Wars Armada.  The boys start off by going through a couple of their armies that they are working on, and get into the complexity of building lists that are fun and outside of the box.  They then hit the big topic of Armada.  What they enjoy, some of the fun things that have happened, and the fact that for such a "simplistic" looking game, it has a depth of strategy that can't be beat.  Plus, who doesn't love commanding a Star Destroyer?

 

BUT WAIT?

What is up everyone?  It is another Friday and another Podcast is ready.  This week on the show saw a return from one of our favorite TO's and Life Coaches, Mike Brandt.  Mike joined us as he did last year to promote the NOVA, talk about everything that is going on this year, some new events, some new features, and all the shenanigans we could fit in before his phone died.  This is Part 1, where Mike talks up the NOVA and the boys are excited to talk shop.  To end the show, Evan talks about his newest list that he has thrown together that brings Necrons and Eldar to the field.  It is a little something we like to call Arachnophobia.  

 

 

Brandt is Back and ready to lay out everything NOVA.

What's up everyone?  This week on the Podcast, Evan, Bryan, and Chandler run down the missions for the upcoming Dark Star GT held in Minneapolis, Mn the weekend of May 2-3, 2015.  The Missions are interesting with a bit of a flair that is different from the original book missions.  We talk about the missions and how Bryan's "List" will play into the different missions.  P.S.  Thanks Sean!  We talk about the last couple of weeks, shout out to some of the people from the blog, and then beat our heads trying to imagine a world where D weapons and Scatter lasers are basically given away.

 

 

 

Join us as we run down a Dream......and some missions.
