Paired Weapons Podcast

The lads try to record episode 82 again after the internet gremlins stole our first attempt for their nefarious purposes, we'll run that one again soon but in the meantime we bring you a review of the State of the Union of t9a in the UK and a review of Kev's trip to Walsall. Enjoy!

The lads keep the Antipodean theme going with another guest from Down Under, this time dialing in from sunny Brisbane, at some ungodly hour of the morning, is friend of the podcast and Australian Aristocrat Angus Sturt-Bray. We take in a range of topics but among them are the lists for the upcoming New South Wales GT. Enjoy!

The lads are back from their self imposed exile with a very special guest all the way from... well... when you get to Australia, keep going! There you'll find the Land of the Long White Cloud and one of the nicest players in the Ninth Ageasphere and we're delighted to have him on board for our first look at the new SA Book. Enjoy!

Crikey, that was quite something.... Join the boys for a tale so epic it would have made Homer cry with jealousy. Thrilling highs, terrifying lows, it's got it all. World class players, pizza, boiling temperatures, cans of Turbo Tennants, running in the sun, pizza, crazy drivers, San Marino thunderstorms and pizza. It's a whopper! Enjoy!

The lads are on a short countdown to the ETC and things are heating up in all sorts of ways... With pairings on our minds we take the spambots through a pairing exercise versus a theoretical and randomly selected team from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. How do the Bravehearts measure up against the boys from the Duchy? Two weeks to go!

The lads are back with long-time pod-bro Johnny Crass (aka Henry Greig) to discuss their 5 top things that they would change if they ruled the ninth age world. It's probably for the best that they don't but, hey, anyone can dream eh?

Another year and another TEC (The English Championships) is done and dusted. Some have soared higher than an eagle and others sunk lower than whale poo. I'll let you guess who did which... Ten weeks to ETC!

As Kev departs for Spanish shores to work on his Vegan Farm, the lads draw near to discuss Matt's TEC list. Shamelessly pretending to be informative Kev is forced to listen to Matt justify Wretched Ones and Feldraks inclusion en masse for the Stockport Showdown. And no Chosen Lord in a move that will surprise no one. Alea iacta est.

By popular demand the lads drag themselves back to the podding desk to review the upcoming BCTB. Joined by a veritable sage the boys consider the might of the Old Boys Club, revel in the mystery of an 1100 point character and wonder if Dr Dan wrote all the lists. You never know!

The lads take a trip down to the woods to see what all the noise is about. Fortunately Kev is known to the Herds and as such they (probably) won't eat Matt. Although they might, you never can tell... So, join the boys for Kev's insights into the officially lowest ranked faction in the game. Oh yes, Mr and Mrs Mino say hi.

The lads drag themselves back to the microphone from their various RL and Total War commitments and promise never to be so naughty again. So, please stop emailing, texting and shouting at us in the street! We're back with more ill informed chat and even the occasional T9A thought. Enjoy!

The lads make the journey south in the teeth of Storn Eunice to play in the Bristol based Art of War 4 and then home in the teeth of Storm Franklin loaded with a treasure trove of stories from the battlefield. Enjoy!

Howdy Partners! The lads are joined once again by Henry G from the US of A to discuss the Masters lists for this years North American Showdown. Who will walk away with the coveted Mantle of the Colonies Best Player? Get this in your ear holes and place your bets! In other news, the UK is blown into the sea.

Much puerile humour ensues as the lads reach an important landmark. In other news the balance patch is out. That poor chap at New Recruit....

The lads get together to catch up with all that's been happening in the last few weeks since Matt disappeared into the mountains and Kev flew the pod solo. Celtic League, Scotland Training Weekend and the upcoming Bristol Art of War among others. Enjoy.

The lads are joined by the new UK and ROI Master Ed Murdoch to revel in his glory and by association elevate themselves to the status of gods! We're not going to lie, this was our second attempt at the pod which didn't record the first time and the second attempt was also beset by technical issues as Matt goes missing half way through! We apologise but as Herodutus once said 'not rain, nor snow, n...

On the eve of the UK and ROI Masters Kev and Matt are joined by Jeff Keeling of South West England fame (an Arthurian Wessexian?)whose rare sorties into the tournament scene are frighteningly succesful. A real unknown quantity this player, don't be surprised if this Beast Herder is in the mix come late Sunday... Oh, and a bloody nice chap and dog lover!

To run you through the Masters lists the lads are joined by none other that Dr Dan Thomas and Henry Grieg (Johnny Crass) all the way from Manchester and California respectively. (Henry got up at 4 am to do the pod!) We hope that you enjoy the scoop of the year and we're sorry about the feedback on one of the mics...

The lads are joined by the legend that is Mikey Newman to discuss the upcoming Masters and all things T9a including his role in the Rules Team, The Balance Patch, The Faction Tier and various LAB's plus his long and distinguished career as Capt of England ETC and a pro painter amongst many, many other hobby rekated matters and some non hobby too. Has the podcast ever been so honoured!

Kev and Matt are joined by T9A Enforcer Chay to discuss all things Masters related. The first of our three Masters interviews with the UK and Ireland's Top 16 Players, the lads find out what makes the Big Man tick and, crucially, how many of the Masters Qualifiers Chay could fight at once.

The lads are graced by the presence of Ed Murdoch (aka Scottish Knight) to discuss the role palyed by the Background Team in T9a which he runs amongst a myriad of other roles deep in the engine room of our game. If you've ever wondered where the faction books come from then this pod is for you!

Merry Christmas to Listeners and Spambots! Uncles Matt and Kev are climbing down your chimney with a present to gladden your heart. And possible steal your beer. Joining us in Festive Gladness is SirMC2015 from the KoE LAB Team who adds a degree of class and elegance to our otherwise plebian traipse through the Kingdom of Equitaine. With such powerful allies no doubt deep insights will result and...

Having been chosen from a field of thousands, (well, in truth we volunteered) the lads are proud to bring you the Core Review from the new KoE book. Never has paying the core tax been such fun. Enjoy!

Kev and Matt bring you and the spambots up to date with their progress in the Smith F Invitational. Can Kev cope without Mr and Mrs Mino? Will Matt get a single pity vote in the public poll? Can the no chaff Warriors cope with world class opposition? Who knows?! Join us to find out. Ps - Vote for Matt. Please.

The lads finally get together to review The English Championships. Can Kev win Best painted? Can Matt refrain from fouling himself? Will anyone playing dwarves have any fun at all? What is a Krapple? Why is Henry dressed like that? How much curry can one Swede eat? Only one way to find out.... Oh yeah, theres some games to talk about too.
