TheHammerCast –WHF 8th Edition Rulebook Unleashed

With the WHF rulebook now available, we took a few hours and read the book recording what we found and offered our commentary. HordeHammer? HeroHammer? GunlineHammer? None of the above? Its up to you to decide. We offer our vision of what 8th could become. The beautiful thing about it is that new strategies, combos, and army specific tactics will reveal themselves to all of us over the course of the next few months. It will be a blast to watch unfold. A major piece of the puzzle has yet to be revealed: the army specific errata to be released in PDF form shortly before the BRB is released. This will heavily influence gameplay and as such, expectations should be kept in check until you are able to read your army’s pdf.

With expediency as our goal here, this episode does not include sound effects, music beds, intros, etc. This was down and dirty-get it out to you all as fast as possible.

If you have any question we can answer, leave a comment on the site or send us an email TheHammerCast@comcast.net.

Thanks!

Scott and Kevin

Must read for all gamers!

This article was brought to my attention and I felt the need to share it here on the site. It essentially describes the attitude I have had for the past 4 years now, that having a good time is your own responsibility.

Anyway heres the article:

The next episode (which is also our first 40k episode) should be up in about a week.

TheHammerCast Episode 3 High Elves

At last, show #3 is finally finished! We had a great time deconstructing the Sons of Ulthuan. High Elves have such a rich tradition, we revisit some of their superstars and legendary troops. We are gearing up for The Siege 2010 coming up soon and talk about that for a bit. For best sound quality, I ALWAYS recommend listening to the show with headphones/earbuds. Many thanks to all those who have contacted us via email, your response has been gratefully received. All feedback is appreciated! TheHammerCast@comcast.net.

The HammerCast Episode 2.5: Battle For Stones River

**SPECIAL EDITION**
The HammerCast Episode 2.5: Battle For Stones River 40K Deep Strike

Welcome to The HammerCast! Today's show is live from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where 50 players are going head to head playing Warhammer 40k. The Battle for Stones River occurred in 1863 and that is the point value of each army. Beautiful painted armies were everywhere! We got lucky as the Black Library's Mike Lee stopped by and graciously let me awkwardly interview him lol! We've got multiple testimonials from assorted players/Generals, adventures with the Hooter's girls, and 50 players hopped up on Red Bulls left by the Red Bull girls. Mozilla users, see below for download info. For best sound quality, I ALWAYS recommend listening to the show with headphones/earbuds. There are 5 sets of pictures below. For optimum experience, start the slide shows as soon as you start listening and don't forget to click the bottom right corner to expand the picture to full screen. Hope you enjoy the show!

The HammerCast Episode 1: EMPIRE

Welcome to The HammerCast Episode 1: EMPIRE

Wow. Our first show completed! It took a while to get all the pieces in place for this. We actually recorded this show at the beginning of December so it has no mention of the upcoming Beastmen release. Besides that, everything should be timely. We had a bunch of fun putting this together and hope you enjoy it as well. Being our first show, I went heavy on the intro and outro. The following episodes will have a much shortened version. You can email the show at TheHammerCast@comcast.net. We appreciate any feedback we can get.


Thanks for listening! ~Odominus
