Hey Nerds.

On this episode of Shop Talk I sit down with Alex Kosma who is a fellow West Coast community member, Podcaster and accomplished competitive player. Alex was a host of the Dominate for Two podcast and has represented the USA in several WTCs.

We warm up chatting a bit about Brinebloods and discuss their position in the 2025 metagame. Alex took Brinebloods to WTC 2024 and has some thoughts to share about the evolution of the army in the last year or so.

The bulk of the episode is a discussion about the history of knowledge transfer in Warmachine and how it interacts with player development. We discuss how this phenomenon has ebbed and flowed through the various editions and postulate on how media and travel interact with the speed and intensity of knowledge growth. We chat about the state of knowledge sharing and the fate of preserved and renewed knowledge in the community and get excited for the media Renaissance we believe we are experiencing right now.

This was a deep and fulfilling discussio. I truly feel what we were able to capture was an idea that really needed to be recorded and put out for people to experience especiallynow in this toime and space. I am really proud of this podcast and I hope you all enjoy it too.

Cheers

Hey Nerds.

On this episode of Shop Talk I sit down with Tom and Peter, two pillars of the community, to chat a little about 3D printing as it pertains to Warmachine.

We chat about the updates to the subscription for the Warmachin app as well as the new My Mini Factory subscription, announced during the keynote address at Adepticon. We discuss our thoughts about this new direction, and break down how we think this is going to impact SFG and the hobby community.

We move into a discussion about terrain at the WTC as both my guests are on the administrative team for this year's event.

This was a really fun chat with some seasoned podcasters. Check out these folks on social media if you have more questions. Links below. They are super awesome people.

Cheers and happy printing.

Hey Nerds.

On this episode of Shop Talk I sit down with Will who is a BC local from Kelowna BC. Will has been a long time Warmachine player helping his local group return to the game over the last year or so.

We turned on the paint cams for this one and recorded live. We chat about returning to Warmachine, converting and painting Will's "underwater Khymera", being a dad and playing Warmachine and a host of other topics.

I had a lot of fun making this one. Apologies for the audio. I am still working out the voice filters on OBS. The youtube video can be found here:
