Mob Rules | Warhammer 40,000s Original Idiots

Considering Lost Patrol but just really not sure?  It took a while but we pulled the trigger on this cult classic and have a review just for you.  No, really, it is just for you.  There is nobody else here, just you and I.  Not your grandma, not that guy on the bus that you always see talking to himself, or that neighbor that is always outside yelling at the dogs on the street or that lady who che...

"A mini-sode? What tha heck is a mini-sode and why should I download this crap?"  Well, hypothetical person, a minisode is a less winded version of what we usually do and you should download it because it comes with a free exclusive miniature of Marnius Calgar.  Okay, that is a lie, it does not come with a mini at all.  However, it IS free!  Now isn't that better?  In this first and irregular inst...

This is a re-mastered version of our overly salty 27th episode of the Ultramarines movie.  Sadly I discovered the hard way that if I take a compressed audio file and bring it back into garageband and save it again it can frag up the audio making it sound like a vintage recording played on a vintage radio that had been sitting out in the rain for the last 15 years as the family in squirrels inside...

Tired of us talking about the lost first episode?  Well we found it!  YAY!  After this you will never ever ever have to hear us yammering on about it again.  Okay, well, we didn't ACTUALLY find it, we recreated it with one less person and a lot more dick jokes.  The subject is all about the emperor and who the guy was, in staying with the theme we get some eBay Price is Right with the Golden Thron...

Hold on to your listening buds, this shiz is getting extensive!  The Glacial Geek swings by the greenhouse to join in on a highly extensive Beast Arises mid-term review, and by "extensive" I mean: I am sorry.  We go through your FAQ questions with more authority than Reese Robbins embued with deity-ship.  Okay, that is taking it out of order, but who reads these anyway?  Get on with the downloadin...

Sterling swings by for some Tournament Hangover, we talk broken knights, dream listing some FAQ questions and why should hit up some of Alaska's tournaments!  BTW, we got a new shirt design!!!  Woot! Red Bubble this shiz!

Do you ever have that feeling that your game is a fraud?  I am not talking about the rules you and your mates play by, but you, yourself.  A lot of successful people feel that way, that, even though their novel has been on the New York Times best seller list that somehow people will find them out to be a fraud.  Now that the F.A.Q. has dropped we are all left with that self-reflection: "everything...

Our main man Pete from NGC40K swings in to discuss Narrative gaming, Imperial knights and drops the knowledge on why we should all listen to the NGC40K podcast.  Easily my new favorite episode, Pete fit right in with our sense of humor and made it an amazing couple hours. You can find more out about the NGC40K peoples at: https://ngc40k.com/ https://www.facebook.com/NGC40k-Podcast-1434417186879357...

There are three things in life that are guaranteed: 1) if you drop jellied toast it will land messy side down to ensure your morning goes well. 2) if you go shopping when you are hungry you will inevitably buy things that you will never want to eat when you are of sound mind. 3) even if you do not play Space Marines in 40K they are at least the secret reason you started playing the game.  Today th...

Kurt joins us to look back on Adepticon 2016 and all the funs!  From vendor halls, Patrol Missions, 40K friendly, Adepticon Titanicus, goose poop and more.  Check out picture on our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MobRuleAk/ Or on our website: http://www.mobrulesmedia.com/  

Criminal minds want to know: Who is Zach Becker?  We talk to Zach about his cheating ways then on to the first large scale grand tournament in London in over eight years and what he is doing to bring the scene back to life.  Oh hey, guess what guess what!  Adepticon is coming!  What are we doing to prepare?  Finally, Jon explains how to buy Forgeworld Superheavies without getting divorced.  Check...

Phil came back to talk with us out the new Boardgames “Overbite Underkill,” er, “Overwatch Deathkill,” no, it was Deathwatch Overkill.  Yeah, that was it.  Then he gave us the 411 on how and why he does battle reports on YouTube as well as giving us some pointers as to who our’s can suck less.  Then we get into our Escalation League and talk about pooping on people’s cars when they piss us off in...

Do you have a favorite bacon casserole? I do not think I do, they are kind of interchangeable and amazing for the most part.  Unless the bacon gets soggy, then they are gross. Do you like Gav Thorpe and Orks?  We do!  Guess what!  Chicken butt.  Guess what else!  Phil and Gav came back and talked to us about Ork Attack Moons and gretchen who masquerade as Imperial Fists.  Feel free to skip through...

Love books?  We love books!  Well, we buy them and put them on our shelves so people think we love books, but the official answer is "We love books!"  Danny came back to talk about the Beast Arises!  Woot!  So if you love books, love Danny, love Orks, hate Imperial Fists and love black labrador retrievers you will love our podcast.  No guarantee.  But you might. Still no guarantee.  After the revi...

Joe pulls back the mask and reveals his true identity, the boys talk mad smack, we delve into alternative mission types in 40K and striking that balance between competitive and whacky, then get on with some games.  Sit back, crack open a bottle of grape Faygo and let the audio fly! BTW, check out last episode’s Narrative vs Competitive poll .

The lads fall asleep and find themselves in an alternate world with two academic teams debating the qualities of competitive VS. narrative play.  Who will win?  Is narrative play just a better way to get into the game?  Does story get in the way of your ability to beat face?  Listen to the podcast then run over to the facebook page to cast your vote! www.facebook.com/MobRuleAk/

 Zach talks Necromunda, Ted goes on about what it is to be a trans-gender Escher and Jon insists that DeLaque are dorkier than Cawdor, you be the judge.  Zach brings us back to talk about playing a "dead game."  All this and not much more in Episode 13!

Once upon a time there was a Custode named Jeff who went by the name of "Custode Jeff."  He loved cheeseburgers, long walks in the underhive and spanking jokaero when their mom's were not around.  That has nothing to do with this episode which is about Orks and holiday wishlisting, but we just felt that you should know who Jeff the Custode is.

Do you find yourself stripping little men often?  Well, your mom should know about it, but if you want some suggestions we gotcha!  Not only that but Andy discusses some Calth and what gamers do when they are not talking trash about each other's army books.  Oh, and have you heard: Specialist games are coming back!  Hitting you like an hot iron deuce in a wet paper bag.

Gav Thorpe joins us via Skype, puts to rest the question as to whether the Dark Angels are traitors or not, talks about developing games and plays a few rounds of "The Points Are Right."  Unfortunately some of the audio was corrupted and we lost nearly all of the discussion on writing about the Dark Angels, but that is probably appropriate all things considered.  Sorry Phil and Gav.  For more on G...

Jon and Ted get ready for Thanksgiving with a visit from Nate.  October turns to Tauvember with a healthy dose of Tau seasoned with some Horus Heresy talk and the lads discuss what they are thankful for.  One badass British celebrity sent us a new ad but you have to wait till the end of the episode to find out who it is!  Set out a plate of biscuits and tea, snuggle up to the fire in your Ant Man...

Kurt joins Mob Rules to discuss his tactics in the Red Waaagh campaign, then alienates Ted in the questions and answer period.  Jon and his AT-AT find love, though not with each other, and helps the Tau find social acceptance. All this and fewer burps on air.  There is no better 40K morning show than Mob Rules!

Colin tells us all about his Eldars right after he schools Ted on how much he knows about 2nd edition, Jon hates on some Tau and the world goes 'round.  Like what you hear? Share, subscribe and shop local! Or we will make a threat that we in no way can back up with action.  So there.  Yeah.  Take that.  All brought to you by Generic Aspirin. 

Episode Six of Mob Rule is up! Ted and Jon welcome back the Glacial Geek Phil to the show to help us totally not infringe Marvel, DC AND Games Workshops I.P. Did you ever contemplate what the Imperium wold look like if Horus had taken over? We found three distinct possibilities.  A more pressing question: how do you get dubbed a "Rues Lawyer" in your community and how do you shed that label?  It i...

Now on iTunes! Episode 5 of Mob Rules is coming at you like an invisible deathstar! This time we talk to Danny McDevitt, a nationally ranked Warhammer Fantasy (R.I.P.) and one of the top 40k guys in Alaska.... He's kind of a big deal.  We bring in Tier One's Mr. Manager Andrew Di Roma to talk about his experiences at a recent gaming convention and play our new favorite game of "Rules Questions Fro...
