We end the show by talking about your feedback. Thank you for the nice words in response to Fab’s blog post.
Thanks for the two years! I listened to every episode so far, which means you brought me many hours of entertainment. If you ever do decide to pick up the pace and turn it into a more profitable operation, my wallet and I will be there. Until then: Hack the planet!
Im right there as well I think this would be one of the only podcasts I would be willing to pay for as well, so much fun, and entertaining. Keep up the good work. Now lets see what else I can put in here since Twitter increased the character limit, I could probably write a …
@geeknewsradio Thank you very much for the probably +100 hours of entertainment so far! I really like the rants and bants and hope you'll make at least two more years, but here's to a few more. Cheers!
Three quarters of the Vier Feldherren unite once again to bring you Warhammer news and some 40K painting progress. And lack thereof, of course. We also talk about an Apple fail and live music.
Fab’s been working on a new look for the Sixgun site and hopes you don’t find it completely despicable. Dave’s also redesigned his site. The SSL errors haven’t changed, though.
We talk about our plans for Sabaton Open Air, also known as “Operation SOAP”.
Tonight we say goodbye to a pot of goblin green that lasted 23 years! Worth every penny… rip little pot of paint, your duty is at an end. 😢 pic.twitter.com/n4FNF4wMgi
Joe, Mike, Fab and Dave embark on a epic journey to see what the new edition of Warhammer 40K has to offer. They also commit to do a lot of painting this year.
We got a full house this time around and we’re all fired up to talk about the 8th edition of Warhammer 40,000. But before we dive in, Fab recommends Kiefer Sutherland’s country album Down in a Hole. It’s on Spotify.
As we get into the main part of the show, we talk about 8th Edition Warhammer 40K. Everyone has the rulebook… Well, everyone except Fab, since Games Workshop is shit at delivering things. But that doesn’t stop him nerding about it.

For some reason, Mike talks us all into committing to paint a shitload of 40K minis until December and update you regularly on it via the podcast. We call this project Die Geschichte der vier Feldherren (#4Feldherren). Joe whinges a lot, but he’ll probably win. Using his weird miniature holder. Stay tuned for our progress.
Before the show ends, Dave runs away again. Like the smurf coward he is. Mike, Fab and Joe know no fear and end the show with your feedback.
Fab and Dave talk about Mass Effect. A lot. Both Andromeda and the original trilogy.
By way of an introduction, we tell you about our booze habits. Nothing new there. Dave then explains why Battle Beast are awesome (he saw them live in concert the other night). Also: Who would’ve believed Games Workshop would sort out their merchandise game one of these days? Banging.
We then dive into the meat of the show, a massive conversation about Mass Effect: Andromeda and why it’s shit. And why Dave loves it nonetheless. We also discuss the original Mass Effect games. Fab’s been taking a page out of Dave’s book and has started, highly relevant chap that he is, to play through the first game.
Here are some impressions of Dave’s green-haired Ryder going about her business:
And this is what Fab’s Shepard looks like in the first Mass Effect. That’s ten-year-old tech.
The facial animations are better than the ones in the new game, believe it or not. Case in point:
We also mentioned some other images on the episode which Fab came across while we recorded:
Full house on Geek News Radio. We got Mike, we got Char and we got the bants. Lots of bants. And Korean skincare.
We’re starting off the show by talking about drinks and by catching up with what Char’s been up to – among other things the Screenshake festival. She also has a newsletter now. Out of respect for her, there won’t be any The Expanse talk this episode, because… spoilers. Check out these wisdoms from Avasarala in the meantime.
Dave has a message for Jono Bacon. Fab updates everyone on what’s been going on with the EDRPG: i.e. a huge copyright cockup. Also: The Commanders update is coming to Elite. Mike’s been enjoying the game lately and has been trying to recruit his friends to join him.
Dave played a lot of board games when he visited Char. They talk about some of them, including Deep Sea Adventure and Mechs & Minions.
For people who used to listen to Linux Outlaws, Fab gives a short heads-up on what’s been happening with LiMux in Munich. This degenerates into a political discussion about Trump and the state of the world right now. Mike recommend the book It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis.
Mike recaps some of the latest developments with Warhammer 40K, including The Gathering Storm.
