Customer Reviews
Now this is a Warhammer 40K Podcast worth Listening to!
This is a great Podcast. The fact that it has great sound quality is just the tip of the iceberg.
This was the first Wargaming Podcast that I listened to and it will be the Podcast that I judge all future wargaming Podcasts by.
Excellent work gentlemen.
Great podcast.
I've listened to just about all the 40k podcasts out there and was skeptical about listening to this one. The lack of Games Workshop news and hardcore army strategery so prevalent in other podcasts made me hesitant to listen.
Now I find this is the first 40k podcast I turn to. Why? Because these 1-2 hours are all about the fun of the game. I never noticed how much other podcasts whine over and over about rules or games workshop. This podcast is like a breath of fresh air. Both casters are funny and informative. Thanks for keeping the game fun guys!
Good sound quality and enjoyable to listen to
I'm looking forward to future episodes! Good job guys!
