STABcast

Preparations are on for the Las Vegas Open, and Tim, Will, and Ben talk about Yoda and Wookies, who are now street legal in the US! We talk about gaming and signing up for events at Adepticon and Gencon.  Come for the laughter, stay for the fun... all this and more on this week's episode of STABcast. 

Come join Ben, Tim, and Ryan as we discuss battle reports, experiments with the new GAR Wookies, and some table building talk. We also review our 2021 New Year's Resolutions and make new ones for 2022.    Welcome to 2022 everybody! To a better new year and more STABcast episodes coming your way!   The music at the top of today's episode comes from Joonas Suotamo, Mr. Chewbacca himself. https://www...

It is an episode jammed back with battle reports, ALL of them from Ben. Hear about the interesting and the bizarre in Legion lists, tournament play, a talk of MOV versus SOS and more from the New Orleans Open. Of course you don't travel with STABcast if you are not looking for some local food recommendations in New Orleans.  Also hear about how assembling and painting the new models from Will, Ben...

Come join Ben, Tim, and Ryan as we start preparing for the 2021 year of tournaments!  After this long drought of 2020 and the hit or miss of 2021, 2022 promises to be a year jammed with big events we are planning on attending.  We talk paint jobs on new models and new points for new lists, so the guys talk through what they are thinking about taking. Ryan and Tim talk LVO in January, but Ben's tri...

Come listen as Will turns on his fellow STABcasters and attempts to do what no one in the group has done before: defeat the other three members in single week. Can Will tackle Tim, Ryan, and Ben and secure his Clone Throne? Or will the empowered by the RRG Imperials toll Will's doom? Can Rebel shenanigans rout the Galactic Army of the Republic? Will the might of Darth Maul and Count Dooku turn Wil...

Tim couldn't join us for the 84th episode of the STABcast, but his takes are always spicy, so he recorded them on his own.  Several experts have weighed in. Luminaries from the Star Wars discord, have some opinions on Tim's Ginger Hot Takes. Beez: "They are certainly takes." Drawde: "I'm not listening. Please cease and desist before I have my lawyers send you a cease and desist." Fifth Legion: "Ye...

It's a three man episode this week as Ryan recounts his misadventures in sunny Southern California, where he was hoisted by his own x34s, he founded a religious movement, and was put down by Al Paz, friend of the podcast. Then, Will, Ryan, and I discuss the many and myriad changes to Legion with the release of the new Errata, RRG, and points document. For faithful listeners, there are two secret m...

Welcome back to this episode of the STABcast! This week we discuss the rock hard virility of Christopher Lee upon his passing, teach Tim how to play his Droid army, and discuss all the mistakes Ryan might make at the San Diego Southern California.  Open. Will comes back to be informed of the potential destruction of his Clone Throne. Ben perhaps says Clones Delenda Est.    We also realized that of...

Join the boys as we talk battle reports from the Invader League and break down what is actually getting played. We celebrate the coming New Orleans Open, so the opening is from the New Orleans Swamp Donkeys (seriously, someone started a band and named it what we call Ryan often). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_hpW5cDLJA&t=5s   Come for the laughter, stay for the stories, and may all your dreams...

STABcast explores the Ministravaganza by AMG this past weekend. We explore Renaissance Faires, MCP (briefly), a bit of Xwing, a ton of Legion news, and some Organized Play details. I even offer a challenge for painters of the Persuader Droid tank! Come for the conversation about Ben's tender dark meats, how much clothing Will traditional wears while recording, Tim's true age and origin, and Ryan's...

Snail tanks, Spider droids, and Super Tacs, OH MY!   Due to Ryan's inability to master his technology (and the remnant storm winds of Ida cutting his power off), this episode features Will and Ben discussing the newly spoiled CIS releases. We could have cancelled this episode, but we had already recorded the audio tracks, so this is a beautiful "Dinner with Andre" style episode with all the deep p...

STABcast tackles the current state of Legion, attempt to dissuade the panicked citizens of internet Legion, and much more. Come for the masterful transitions between topics, but stay for all the love Owen Lars, AMG, and your own step dad couldn't give you despite his best efforts.

Listen to stories of our heroes' journey to a land shrouded in haze and heat... Will, Tim, and Ben head to Allen, Texas to play some Legion, eat some barbecue, and play some more Legion. We talk about the best and worst of our weekends. This jumbo packed episode has all the stories and as much news as we could find off the back of a German transport truck. Thanks for listening to the STABcast.

Tim, Ben, and Ryan take a look at more new cards, discuss how Tim has become Mrs. Nesbitt (youtube link for those in need: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5m33zK6ZlA ), and tear down Ben's list and build it back up again for Lone Star Open. Come for the hot takes from Ryan on a faction he doesn't played, stay for the sounds Tim makes when he scoops a game, and relax with the chuckles of Ben when...

In what must be Australian Christmas (It is in July and is likely trying to kill you), STABcast experiences all the joy and madness Wookie Warriors and Chieftains, and Grand Master Yoda can bring us in this summer heat. Speaking of summer miracles in this Southern swelter, Ben managed to play a game when no one else has. The boys get loose, but our hot takes have never been hotter in this episode...

Ben, Will, and Tim talk to Mike Barry from ... another podcast (Notorious Scoundrels and 5th Trooper Networks) about StormTide, a narrative Legion campaign launching very soon. Listen as we ask the hard hitting questions and embarrass Tim in front of his cool Legion friends. The system and plans sound really interesting. So, join the 3 Wise Guys of the STABcast and get a nice conversation about St...

Welcome listeners to the STABcast's Diamond Jubilee! 75 episodes in, and we survived our own Third Quarter Quell, haven't been shut down by the International Criminal Court, poisoned by Australians (with their many available venomous animals), or disbanded due to irreconcilable differences.   We still have irreconcilable differences, but we stay together for you, our listeners.  This jam packed ep...

STABcast went to a local convention and played against the recreational Rebel Winnebagos and more. With battle reports, a look at the fearsomeness of the new AA5, and potential fixes for the one character who just hates camping because he hates the sand, join us for some sing alongs, some humiliation, and the roasting of Tim's dreams. This and more when STABcast goes to camp. 

This week on the STABcast! Ben is back to his usual excuses, Tim shares his *interesting* fashion advice, and we respond to a listener's lists!!

Listen to Tim and Ryan's wild adventure at the Dallas Open. We talk their ups, their downs, their sadness, and their joys. Did you know who was the big spoon and who was the little spoon? Come for the knowledge, stay for the WWE auditions to be our Paul Bearer style manager.   Small warning: This episode is longer than Star Wars: A New Hope. Just as thrilling and filled with as many Wookie stories...

Wait... can this be? Has Ben played a game of Legion? We check the portents, and they don't describe an any more apocalyptic day than any other this year, so it must be true.  Listen to Ben discuss the ins and outs from Turn Zero to Turn 6 of his first live game in months. Then we discuss how to start conditioning yourself for the day when you can play in live tournament events with people again....

These fine gentlemen of STABcast gather to talk about battle reports, respond to listener mail, and become flabbergasted at exactly how good the crew of these new vehicles really are. Come for the fun; stay for Tim's denial of mathematics!

Listen to another thrilling episode where we talk about better ways to play the game with Will, prove Ryan's CIS fearmongering wrong, and once again talk Tim, who is six feet from the edge (of the small sidewalk), off the ledge. Then we talk about the Republic and Empire police cruiser LAAT/le and the Rebel AA-5 transports! Listen, we could have made a joke about the episode number, but we didn't....

Listen to the STABcast contemplate the great issues rocking the Legion world: Is the CIS the new hotness? (Yes!) Is the CIS OP? (No!). Does the STABcast believe in bids? (Also No!). Come for the insight stay for the gentle mocking.    Editor's Note: Ben edited the podcast this week. Any CIS bias is intentional and with malice aforethought. But to make up for that, he definitely tightened up Will's...

This week the Guys talk about how Ryan got out of the Group stage of IL6, How to develop new players, and look at the new command cards.
