Dragged into Turbolasers

We begin this episode expressing our sadness at the passing of John Blanche, a luminary that defined Games Workshop’s artstyle and vision for decades. We then touch on how just days later GW revealed Horus Heresy artwork that almost certainly used AI tools to give a Space Marine a sixth finger. Finally we discuss the state of miniature hobby YouTube channels and how the algorithm necessitates boring, but searchable content. Watch Trademark Film’s interview with John Blanche. See the s...

In this episode, we had the pleasure of chatting with Brian of Nemessos Miniatures (Rojasnoirlac). We talked about his approach to the hobby, including how he creates realistic, scaled models. We also discussed some of the movies and books he has been consuming recently and why he decided to make a blog. Follow Nemessos Miniatures! Follow Canticus Troili! Consider reading The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica Watch Le Vourdalak.

In part one of a special two-part episode, we interview people who attended Under the Dice Fest 2025, a small festival in Massachusetts celebrating miniature-based tabletop wargaming. The festival was designed to appeal to those who shy away from the mainstream iterations of the miniature wargaming hobby, focusing on those who want to play the games on their terms, sometimes outside of the scope of the game rules as written, or those who want to play old games which their publishers no longer...

In this episode, we interview people at Adepticon (2024), the United States largest miniature wargames convention!
