Episode 208 - Champions of 40k: Heroes of The Imperium 2

2h 27m · The Independent Characters | Warhammer 40k Podcast · 19 Jul 17:56

Episode 208 of The Independent Characters returns to one of our favorite series... the last time we did this was January of 2019.

In the 41st Millennium there are those who stand out among all others. Shining beacons of light or blackened embers of darkness. In this new series entitled ‘Champions of 40k’, The Independent Characters take an in depth view of several of their favorite heroes in the game.

In this episode we return to explore the lore around each of them and what makes them qualified to be counted among the greatest of their kind. And in true ICs fashion, we go deeper. We look at how their model represents them, how they function on the table as well as how they compare to their fiction!

This round sees us return to explore several ‘Heroes of The Imperium’. We will pick our favorites and dive into how they have helped to turn back the tide of Chaos and Xenos alike.

Although it turned out Jody could not join us for this episode, we do have Justin and Adan on board. We hope you enjoy our return to this series as much as we are excited to bring it to you!

Episode 235 - Adepticon Down Under Discussion

Episode 235 of The Independent Characters takes us, primarily, on a review and recounting of Adepticon from Josh and Jody's point of view. Originally we had expected to include a bunch of information about the various game stores and events Carl went to when on vacation in Australia, but things didn't quite work out as planned on that front.

If you ARE interested in the Australia Trip, Carl will discuss that as bonus content for our Patreon members of all levels.

However, Josh and Jody go into detail about Adepticon, what events they attended and provide some advice for those going in a long discussion. We hope you enjoy!

Episode 233 of The Independent Characters takes an in depth look at the psychology behind collecting Warhammer 40k. We are going to explore the benefits and pitfalls of the hobby and take a look at some strategies for not increasing your "closet of opportunity"... unless that makes you happy!
