ETC Report and Nagash news On this episode we are joined by Craig ‘FatCraig’ Johnson to talk about the European Team Championships. Intro We start things off by talking about the new Nagash releases and discussing how we think the Lore of Undeath will fit into the game. Next up we have a run down of the games we have been playing in the last month.  Mark got in 2 doubles games against 2 different sets of Australian ETC players while they were visiting Warhammer world.  Ben played Triumph and Treachery for the first time and had a blast. On the painting front, Mark has been getting his High Elves ready for Clash of Swords and Craig has been building Ripperdactyls, taking inspiration from the Polish ETC lizardmen list.  Ben has done as much painting this month as he has the rest of 2014 finishing 3 Bull Centaurs, a Taur’Ruk, 3 Characters, a Deathshreiker and painting 2 test models for the Undead Legion project. Speaking of which, on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th September Bad Dice + friends will be building an Undead Legion, start to finish in a weekend. We plan to put together around 3500 points (1000 of them being Nagash!) in a single weekend.  Guests signed up so far are Ben Johnson, Steve Wren and FatCraig himself.  Mark and Gareth will be helping out too.

Tane Woodley – The intent of this sponsorship is to recognise one of the main figures of the Warhammer scene here in New Zealand, Pete Dunn.  Pete writes the Fields of Blood blog, lead the establishment of a NZ Rankings system after Rankings HQ went down the subscriber route, organises several tournaments a year and generally makes Warhammer a much more fun experience here in NZ.  He generally provides most if not all of the terrain himself for his tournaments, and it’s all good stuff.  If he didn’t play Skaven, he’d be damn near perfect.   Normally you might buy someone something to commemorate that, but Pete has everything and more anyway; tens of thousands of points worth of models.  But he can’t buy a congratulations message on a podcast like yours, and I think the message would be sincerely appreciated by him.
