Cast Dice Podcast

This week I am joined by my old friend Jeff Hall to talk about the brand new Kickstarter project The Tremendous Tome Of Decorating Dungeons, a project aimed at helping you to take your existing terrain building to the next level. Along the way we spend a fair bit of time talking about how to bring Star Wars to the tabletop using a variety of games, not all of which involve Star Wars Legion.

In this episode we are lucky to speak with the big boss at Warlord Games, John Stallard. We talk at length about all the great releases to come in the first part of this year from Warlord and there is a lot to be excited about!

I am joined by Paul from Empress Miniatures to discuss his new 28m Vietnam war ruleset, BOHICA. While Paul passes on so many great tidbits about this new game, I recommend that you go to the BOHICA Facebook page. There is a LOT of great information on there.

This week Jomane and I discuss the pros and cons of picking up a dead game system. We also talk about Warhammer 6th Edition and another rank and flank game, this one not dead, Oathmark.

This week I am joined by Topher, from The Juggernaut Podcast, to explore a seldom discussed topic that is literally on every Bolt Action tabletop, terrain.

We hope you enjoy.

In this episode, our old friend Pete West joins us to help Cast Dice celebrate its birthday. Given that it is also the Halloween episode, I thought that it was only appropriate that we talk through the new zombie missions for Stargrave from the new Quarantine 37 expansion book. We also explore Joseph A. McCullough’s newest game of Napoleonic horror, The Silver Bayonet.

This week I am joined by the tactical genius, Jael, from The Baconburgers Podcast, to answer a listener question. How would you build a competitive army list in Bolt Action? Rather than listing units and points, we dig into the topic from more of a philosophical standpoint. What is a good starting place and what are important considerations to remember throughout the process?

This week we are joined by, the one and only, Acktar Giraffe to discuss last weekend's successful Bolt Action event in Tasmania, Operation Sudlicht.
