Episode 186 of The Independent Characters is a deep dive into the Cities of Death rules. These can be found in the narrative section of Chapter Approved 2018 as well as a slightly expanded version in the rule book for the Urban Conquest campaign set. This episode clocks in at a more reasonable two and a half hours. Which is a nice change for us from the marathon recordings we’ve been doing lately. Justin and Adan are back and we discuss what has been going on lately with about forty minutes of ‘Hobby Progress’. Carl also spends a little time describing The Somnium Stars Campaign which is launching for Legendary Level Patreon members in June! Then we launch into the main topic - Exploring the Cities of Death. We will tell you why this is the best way to play Warhammer 40,000 ever! (Well maybe). We really hope you enjoy the program!

Episode 183 of The Independent Characters contains a massive four and a half hours of content for you. Now we wouldn't normally put out an episode this long, but with the loss of the Astronomicon computer, and the replacement, and scheduling... it had been over a month since we recorded. So you try to think of it as two episodes that are each two hours and twenty minutes long. If that wasn't excitement enough for you - this episode is all about The Death Guard! It's our Show of Force: Heralds of Decay! We go into great depth about the army and the impact it has had on the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Not only that - we have an interview with Black Library author, Chris Wraight about his novel "Lords of Silence" and the outlook of the Death Guard in general! Then, just when you think the torture is done, we have a great interview with Mike and Emma Basc! Two of the Warhammer Heroes Awards winners. We discuss what they have done to help revitalize the 40k scene in Perth Australia, their Objective Secured Podcast, and a bit about events they are running in the Perth area! Our next episode should be coming out just before Adepticon. We promise to try to make it on time this go around. But until then - we hope this keeps you busy! Time Stamps:

Episode 182 of The Independent Characters brings you a new series we are launching… In the 41st Millennium there are those who stand out among all others. Shining beacons of light or blackened embers of darkness. In this new series entitled ‘Champions of 40k’, The Independent Characters take an in depth view of several of their favorite heroes in the game. In this episode we explore the lore around each of them and what makes them qualified to be counted among the greatest of their kind. And in true ICs fashion, we go deeper. We look at how their model represents them, how they function on the table as well as how they compare to their fiction! This first episode will explore several ‘Heroes of The Imperium’. We will pick our favorites and dive into how they have helped to turn back the tide of Chaos and Xenos alike. After all of that, we have an interview with Teras of Geek Nation Tours, who describes some amazing new tours they have set up for the miniature gamer, role-playing gamer, and general geek enthusiast! Stick with us as it’s a great episode. We hope you enjoy this new series as much as we are excited to bring it to you! Time Stamps:

Episode 181 of The Independent Characters brings you our 2018 wrap-up episode. Let me just first say that if you do not like our Hobby Progress segments, we apologize, because this one is extra long, coming in at nearly an hour and a half as we talk about our 2018 commitments, where we succeeded or failed, and then make new ones for 2019. There is also quite a bit that was accomplished over the holiday break by everyone and we go into detail about all those... including a few tangents here and there. Then we launch into the 2018 Warhammer 40k review! We go over every release from Games Workshop, Black Library, and Forge World, with a sprinkling of 3rd party releases thrown in here and there. We love these episodes because it really boils down to our opinions on a lot of things here. We hope you enjoy the episode as well! PS - Yes we also realize that at the very end we forgot to mention the Primaris version of Marneus, his guards and the new Black Legion Commander...

Episode 180 of The Independent Characters comes right on the heels of Episode 179 and is set to destroy your ears with four hours of Warhammer 40,000 enjoyment! First we have an in-depth Hobby Progress section with lots of fantastic tangents! Then the fun really starts with our Show of Force covering The Thousand Sons. You knew Carl could talk a lot, but you didn’t know he talks even more when it is his favorite subject! We don’t know if you will want to play a Thousand Sons army after listening to this episode, but we are CERTAIN you will consider it time well spent. We hope you enjoy. Time Stamps:

Episode 179 of The Independent Characters brings you a somewhat silly episode. We were lucky enough to have three very special guests. Jason Mullins from the Sons of Heresy Podcast, Adam Fasoldt (Loopy) from the Masters of The Forge Podcast, and Robo Ed from Life After the Cover save! Since Carl had all three of these individuals at his house, he felt it would be a travesty not to record an episode with them! So here you go. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll kiss three buck goodbye! Time Stamps:

Episode 178 of The Independent Characters brings you about two and a half hours of fun, laughter, and Warhammer 40k. Not necessarily in that order. We have our usual Hobby Progress and Games Played section which goes on for quite awhile as we have three guests in studio. However, the conversation diverges here from time to time and we bring up some interesting points along the way. Then we launch into our Warrior Lodge Episode - where we have a moderated discussion about several topics close to us personally and gathered from the ICs Facebook Group and larger Warhammer 40k Community. We hope you enjoy the show! Time Stamps:

Episode 177 of The Independent Characters brings you nearly three hours of entertainment! As usual we have our hobby progress section in which we introduce our guest host, Austin Lin. Austin is an incredibly talented airbrush painter, a Space Wolf (and Tau) player, and all around good guy. Then we finally get to the meat of the episode - our Show of Force episode on The Executioners of the Emperor: The Space Wolves! Many people have waited a long time for this, and here it is. We hope you enjoy the show! Time Stamps:
