  • Episode 236 - Rare 40k Materials 2
    May 1 2024

    Episode 236 of The Independent Characters has us returning to the shelves and storage at the back of the Astronomicon to uncover more Warhammer 40k collectible materials.

    In our second go around of Rare Warhammer 40k Materials, Carl and Josh discuss several art books as well as a graphic novel which is set in the Horus Heresy era and completes a story that was left untold! With this episode being heavily art-focused, we would recommend checking out our YouTube Channel and seeing some of the graphics that are displayed in review.

    We hope you enjoy Episode 236!

  • Episode 235 - Adepticon Down Under Discussion
    Apr 15 2024

    Episode 235 of The Independent Characters takes us, primarily, on a review and recounting of Adepticon from Josh and Jody's point of view. Originally we had expected to include a bunch of information about the various game stores and events Carl went to when on vacation in Australia, but things didn't quite work out as planned on that front.

    If you ARE interested in the Australia Trip, Carl will discuss that as bonus content for our Patreon members of all levels.

    However, Josh and Jody go into detail about Adepticon, what events they attended and provide some advice for those going in a long discussion. We hope you enjoy!

This is a must listen

This is one of the single greatest 40k Podcasts of all time, the amount of love and passion that was poured into it. While it is slightly disappointing that all the episodes are not available especially now that the show has come to an end. This is because of the amount of goodwill and good healthy communities that this podcast has led directly to creating. Not to mention the numerous other podcasts that have sprung from this one or from those communities. From its humble beginning of the boiler room through the ups and downs of the various editions and life events, from the Fire relief efforts to the Astronomican recording studio and the partial destruction of that studio, this is one podcast that is worth the listen.

Thank you to Carl, Geoff, Adan, Justin, Aaron and all the other hosts I made have missed for 200+ episodes of your passion and life your all Heroes in my book.

Few 40K Podcasts Come Close

The ICs have created more than a podcast....Carl and friends have created a community. This community helps each other, it gives back, and it cultivates new friendships. That's pretty amazing for a podcast about wargaming. Oh, and yes, listening to every 3+ hour show is highly entertaining, educational and addictive.
