CC 181 - Reveal of the Honor Guard of the Green Lady Formation

Tonight we have an extra special, jam packed episode.  We're "Hindered" once again by Krys Koches and Jimmy Swallows as they share their "brand" of Power Gaming Kings of War.  Then we're joined by Devlin Smith to reveal and break down the Honor Guard of the Green Lady Formation from the upcoming Edge of the Abyss campaign supplement from Mantic Games.  And that's not all, we've also packed in a couple of surprises along the way that are sure to put a smile on your face.  We hope you enjoy this break from the norm and we'll be back to our regular broadcast schedule Sunday with our Origins coverage episode!

COUNTER CHARGE 179 - List Builder Studio with Kris Kapsner

CC 179 - List Builder Studio with Kris Kapsner

Fresh off Kris's big win at the Bugeater GT we sit down with Kris in the List Builder Studio.  We tackle his general list building principles, army design philosophy and how it's all driven by his insatiable quest for the hobby!  We then take a deep dive into his winning Bugeater list and tear it apart unit by unit.  Along the way we also touch on what makes the Herd work in Kris's capable hands.  This is a CAN'T MISS episode.  

 

COUNTER CHARGE 178 - LIST BUILDER STUDIO WITH ALEX CHAVES

CC 178 - List Builder Studio with Alex Chaves
