Paired Weapons Podcast

Ahead of the Main Book Release on the 10th December the Paired Weapons Podcast are delighted and honoured to bring you a sneak peak into the Dread Elf Mounts and Menagerie. The usual hosts, Matt and Kev, are joined by Henry P Miller to discuss the big and bad beasts of the Dread Elves. And, boy, are them some crackers.... so lock up your Feldraks and quake before the might of the lads from Silexia...

The lads bring you right up to date with Autumn Assault. Matt goes on a winning spree (courtesy of a wall)and Kev gets a nosebleed! Can 2020 get any weirder?! Also, exciting DE news!

The lads are joined by Dr Guillermo Bardera PhD of Scotland ETC fame (I hope I spelled that right!) who unpacks the updated ID book for us. Navigating the treacherous waters of the fiery guys in amour is no mean task and Dr G brings his Iberian style in cart loads. In other news the lads report on Autumn Assault Round 2 and we look forward to the festive season. Enjoy. --- News Flash ---- Inundate...

The lads are back with some remarkable news from the latest UB tournaments Scrapyard Scuffle and Autumn Assault. Matt goes on an unprecedented winning streak before crashing back to Earth courtesy of some Greenskins whilst Kev is on the end of some bad UB dice before trouncing some KoE. The highs and lows have never been so pronounced...

It's the spookiest time of the year (and Kev's Favourite time too!) so the lads chat all things Halloween and shamelessly shoehorn it into T9a. Revel in the glorious and glory manner in which we consider out most spooky faction, most spooky magic path and most spooky random mover.... In other news Kev paints a giant and Matt gets a rare win! Fill your beaks Listener, it's Ninth Age Time....

With Real Life being obnoxious the lads come up for a breath of air and cram in a podcast for your listening pleasure. As Manchester heads into semi lockdown, Kev and Matt come to terms with playing UB for the rest of the year (probably) and write some sick lists for upcoming tournaments - Scrapyard Scuffle and Autumn Assault. Kev bewails Mr Mino's lack of form and his renewed loathing of Druidism...

With out last guest called back into the Real World but with many miles still to go the boys just keep on recording and take on the Warriors book with no vestige of a plan except that of a burning love to talk about the lads from the Wastelands. Such an amorphous and causal chat is soon hijacked by Matt who wants to rant about cavalry and does so. Kev just keeps painting and lets Matt get it out o...

The lads are joined by Nemeroth of Forum Fame, the creator of amazing painting projects and conversions, who does a few laps on the Pod alongside Matt and Kev. In real life Scott is also a Background Team Member and winner of multiple painting awards which leads to much puffing of chests from the hosts as we compare achievements in the field of painting, the real competition as all hobbyists know!...

The lads are back with a heavy load of tales from the Lockdown Brawl, the UK's first UB ranking tournament. Some are tales of joy and rapture and others so dark that the Brothers Grimm would reject them as too scary. Matt bangs on about geese and other rubbish whilst Kev rails against the recent changes in local lockdowns, both though will hopefully bring a smile to your face in these testing time...

The lads are back in front of their mics to be joined by the mercurial Shane Baxter of Team Northern Ireland ETC fame to discuss all things T9a. Shane's penchant for a list that's never been played before is well known (see his chariot heavy HE Lockdown list for example)and we push that to the extreme in this list building free for all. So, if you've ever wondered if an all Barbarian Great Weapon...

Kev's home from his holiday and the lads are back to talking about T9a. This episode they take on the mighty task of reviewing their progress in various ongoing UB tournaments (all three!) and then discuss magic as though they understand what they are talking about. Which is questionable. In a reversal of form from earlier in the year Matt hits an epic and unprecedented run of form whilst Kev is b...

Warning - Kev's technical Gremlins have rendered his mic super quiet - for this we apologise, a new mic is on it's way... The lads are joined by Jack Chapman from the Thundercocks Podcast to preview the UK and Rep of Ireland's First UB Ranking Tournament - The Lockdown Brawl. Selected lists and first round prediction goodness is joyously spread before like some sort of T9a Smorgasbord, much of whi...

Matt and Kev bring you another all-action pod covering the thrills and spills of the group stages in CC2. Can Matt get the Feldraks going? Can Kev rediscover the KOE after his Beast Herd escapades? All is revealed in the latest ear candy from the Paired Weapons Podcast. In other news the lads both put new microphones on their birthday lists as the sound-gremlins reemerge for which they are terribl...

With the Celtic Cup 2 now fully underway the lads attempt to review all 16 armies in an hour, one from each faction in the Ninth Age. Having given themselves 60 minutes they then waste a bunch of time talking about other things such as book recommendations (Matt gets the author's name wrong), painting updates and Kev's unwarranted and irrational prejudice against bases. If you want to have a look...

Mat and Kev are joined by Californian and US Masters Qualifier, Johnny Crass, ostensibly to discuss the SE but this quickly descends into a Ninth Free For All as we cover topics as incongruous as the location of Ohio, why Feldraks belong in Kev's Box of Broken Crap and the pain of broken minis. More commonly to be found pushing about VC, Johhny blows the lads minds with his fresh take on SE and ad...

Boom! We're back! Rumours of our demise are shown to have been much exaggerated as the Podcasting Paired Weapons burst back into the podoshpere and down your ear holes with Episode 20! Broadcast directly from Matt's new house (which nearly killed him and others moving into)Kev graces Matt with his presence and the lads record Face to Face, in a truly weird experience for all concerned. Covering th...

Kev and Matt are back with short podcast to tide you over as Matt prepares the Herculean task of moving house with inevitable consequences for podding output. Hopefully we'll be right back in the swing by early July... hopefully... In other news the lads discuss their plans for a 'live commentary' podcast of the Celtic Cup final and Kev recounts his latest epic struggle on UB, including a long dia...

Lock Up Your Everything! Here Come The Orcs and Goblins! Braving a massive thunderstorm Matt and Kev are joined by the Vale Renegade and savant of all things Green and Choppy - Rob Cousins - to discuss big things hitting other big things with even bigger things. The secrets of T9a's most lovable rogues are forthcoming in a tsunami of Orcs, Goblins and their (Big 'N Nasty)friends whilst the heavens...

Rumours of our demise are much exaggerated! After a weeks holiday from podding Matt and Kev are back with tales from the Celtic Cup Pool Stages brilliantly organised by James of Team Ireland and Fras of Team Scotland. Kev makes minor changes to his BH list bringing in some centaurs for giggles and extra punch whilst Matt tries to reinvent The Empire with a wall of flaggies and inquisitors, no BSB...

Kev and Matt are joined by the other members of the mighty, mighty Team Scotland , Paul and Callum, to tell tall tales of our last round of the Social Distancing UB Tournament. Will your hosts be the sad recipients of the wooden spoon? Can Kev keep the mino pain-train going? Can Matt, Paul and Callum keep up with the trail blazing Beast Herds? Find out in Episode 16. In other news we discuss new l...

Matt and Kev are joined from across the Pond by our first American guest and professional Risk Analyst, Nerocrossius, to discuss his innovative and revolutionary approach to the Empire. Breathing new life into list options that other just cast aside, the New Mexico Master Mind turns his focus upon, among others, the enigmatic Inquisitor and (Matt's favourites)the Flaggies. If you've ever wondered...

The name's Henry... Henry P Miller... That's right - we've only gone and talked the host of Ammertime onto the Paired Weapons Podcast! Kev and Matt are joined by T9a's most eligible bachelor and man-about-Ninth-Age to talk Highborn Elves, Moldovan Wine and the works of John Constable. In other news, Kev offers to take Matt to a Heavy Metal Concert, Matt waxes lyrical about the Romantic Art Movemen...

With more spice than an burrito rammed with jalapenos Team Scotland go Mano a Mano vs the might of Moctezuma's Revenge from the sprawling metropolis of Mexico City. Can Matt regain some momentum after the brick wall that was round 4? Can Kev keep the mino bus on the road for one more lap of the track? There's only one way to find out... buckle up and open your ear holes... we're heading South of t...

'When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope...'

But as Chekhov points out, all winters end with a glorious Spring! In other news - Beware the UB Dice Betrayers!

Matt and Kev are treated to a fireside chat with the Ninth Age Gargant, Breakthrough Winner, former ETC Team England Stalwart, ESC Top Ten Finisher, Taekwondo Black Belt, Professional Research Physicist, All Round Great Guy And Provider of Tea - Dr Dan Thomas who once went 18 months without failing to podium. Dan shares his (powerful) insights into the new ID book as your host gasp in awe at the t...
