RoBPod # 31: Kayoun

Hey guys, Corvus and Havoc here with our review or discussion on the particulars of the '7th Edition' Tau codex. There's an extensive model release, but the rules updates themselves are surprisingly lacking. What's this mean for the fish and for GW? Tune in and find out!

RoBPod #29: X-Wing Wave VII and the 501st

Hey guys, in celebration of our 501st post, we've done an X-Wing podcast discussing the release of Wave VII and the new Force Awakens Starter!

RoBPod #26: Campaign Event

Just a week ago, Godfrey, Havoc, UltimateDave and myself all got the opportunity to attend a campaign style event, hosted by Battle Mallet Games in Martinsville. For most of us, this was the first big, organized 40k event we had been to since college events at Game Preserve Bloomington. We all ha d alot of thoughts and feelings about the event, and decided to talk about how the game plays in practice rather than in theory for a change.

RoBPod #22: Khorne Daemonkin

Havoc joins Godfrey and I for this especially red edition of the podcast. The three of us talk about Khorne Daemonkin, including what it does to buff out the assault phase, compensate for Khorne hating stupid magic, and allow for unique ways for players to spend more money! Likewise, make sure to check out our associated reference links.

Podcast #14 - The Rumors of the Dark City, and X-Wing!

Who says Tuesday can't be a good day?  For today Rites of Battle gives you another Podcast!

Hey folks, join Havok and myself for a look into some thoughts on the dark denizens of the Webway, as well as some of the rumored happenings for the coming months in the Grim Dark. With all of the changes to the core game rules, there might just be a place for the Dark Eldar as new ground rules for army updates like unique new units, Maelstrom cards, formations, potent relics, and warlord traits are added to their now aged codex.

But we have more in store for you than simply 40k. I managed to get my first game of X-Wing in, and I'll let you know what I thought of the whole thing.  We have been really enjoying a chance at branching out into new and more diverse game systems to cover here on Rites.  So much so, that a new Lexicanum may be brought on soon.  But more on that another time.

For now, enjoy the cast!

Cheers!

Podcast #13 - 7th, Orks, and so much More!

Salutations from the Rites Staff and guest caster Havoc! With the first month of 7th under our feet and the first codex in hand, we're finally ready to sit down and take a long hard look at things. Join us, and don't forget to hit us up in the comments about what you thought!

Out of our Element: X-Wing Miniatures Game

Hello dear readers and welcome to our new page tag which is designed to cover all non-40k related gaming. For our intro series, I'll be taking a look at one of the newest games to be making a splash in the miniatures gaming community: X-Wing! According to a recent poll over on BoLS, this game came in second among the top 5 minis games, right behind 40k (top spot) and ahead of WM/H. For a game that's not even turned 2 yet, that's pretty impressive. Add to that the fact that Havoc is the biggest Star Wars junkie I know and a few locals had already gotten into it and recommended it, and I figured I'd cash in some of my points at GPB and grab the starter as the no risk investment in the start up was a no brainer. Hit the break for my full review!
