Episode 278 - Campaigns, Cards, and Community
<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>In Episode 278 of The Independent Characters, Carl takes us along for the ride at <strong>The Maelstrom Mixer</strong> - a fantastic community event. Carl breaks down how the event is structured, walks you through the games he played, and shares the stories behind the people he met across the table. Whether you've attended a Mixer before or have always been curious what all the fuss is about, this is your inside look at what makes this kind of event so special to the narrative and community side of Warhammer 40,000.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Then we turn our attention to one of the most exciting things to come out of the new <strong>Armageddon launch box</strong> - the <strong>Dominatus Deck</strong>. This innovative new system promises to transform the way groups run Warhammer 40,000 campaigns, weaving individual battles together into a living, breathing narrative while keeping the bookkeeping refreshingly light.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>We walk through the full four-step campaign loop: from rolling to determine contested locations and their war zone rules, to reading Alliance Briefing cards that set the narrative stakes, pursuing thematic Agendas instead of standard objectives, and earning Battle Honour or Battle Skill cards that follow your units through the campaign. At phase end, controlling alliances claim location bonuses and powerful Relic cards; all building toward a climactic three-phase arc that culminates in one decisive final battle.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>If you've ever wanted a campaign system that tells a great story without drowning you in paperwork, the Dominatus Deck might be exactly what we have all been waiting for.</p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Time Stamps:</strong></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:list --></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>0:00:00 – Show Intro, Elite Choice, Hobby Progress, and Games Played</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>0:22:00 – The Maelstrom Mixer</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>1:07:00 – Dominatus Deck Discussion</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>1:35:15 – Final Discussion and Show Closing</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <p><!-- /wp:list --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Relevant Links:</strong></p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:list --></p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://www.patreon.com/theics">The Independent Characters Patreon</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="http://www.tablewar.com/">Tablewar!</a> – SPONSOR</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://herrickgames.com/">Herrick Games & Hobbies</a> – SPONSOR</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="https://www.adepticon.org/">Adepticon</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="http://www.games-workshop.com/">Games Workshop</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><a href="http://www.blacklibrary.com/">The Black Library</a></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <p> </p>

Episode 277 - Crossing the Edition Rubricon
<p>What happens when an edition starts showing its age and a new one looms on the horizon? In this episode, Carl, Adan, and Josh take a hard look at the end of 10th Edition and what GW's own history tells us about what comes next. Because this isn't the first time the 40k Universe has gone through a transition, and if you know where to look, the patterns are hiding in plain sight.</p> <p>From the Narrative Avalanche of closing Warzones – the 500 Worlds, the Maelstrom, and the legendary return of Armageddon – to the historical precedent set by the Gathering Storm and the return of Guilliman at the end of 7th Edition, the crew breaks down exactly how GW winds down an edition and why, even in the chaos, it's actually a great time to be a fan.</p> <p>But the conversation doesn't stop there. 11th Edition previews are already dropping, and the internet is already on fire. Cover rule changes, new terrain layouts, character reveals; the crew walks through what's been shown and, more importantly, how to think about it clearly before the hot takes take over. Plus, we tackle the very real challenge of Rules Bleed (that maddening moment when your brain defaults to the old rules mid-game) and share practical tips for making a clean transition into a new edition.</p> <p>The edition may be ending, but the episode is just getting started!</p> <p><strong>Time Stamps:</strong></p> <ul> <li>0:00:00 – Show Intro, Elite Choice, Hobby Progress, and Games Played</li> <li>0:21:40 – Crossing the Edition Rubricon: Part 1</li> <li>1:06:20 – Crossing the Edition Rubricon: Part 2</li> <li>1:44:35 – Final Discussion and Show Closing</li> </ul> <p><strong>Relevant Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.patreon.com/theics">The Independent Characters Patreon</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.tablewar.com/">Tablewar!</a> – SPONSOR</li> <li><a href="https://herrickgames.com/">Herrick Games & Hobbies</a> – SPONSOR</li> <li><a href="https://www.adepticon.org/">Adepticon</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.games-workshop.com/">Games Workshop</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.blacklibrary.com/">The Black Library</a></li> </ul>

Episode 276 - Adepticon 2026 Review
<p>What happens when The Independent Characters descend on Milwaukee for four straight days of Warhammer 40,000, other tabletop gaming, and everything Adepticon has to offer? In this episode, Carl, Adan, and Josh bring you their full review of Adepticon 2026, the games they played, the people they met, and the moments that made the trip worth it all.</p> <p>But this year, the crew wasn't just attending. They were running the show! Well... specifically the Warhammer 40,000 Flex event for the second year in a row. This is quickly becoming one of the convention's most dynamic, welcoming, and inclusive Warhammer 40k events, across all four days. What goes right, what goes sideways, and what keeps players coming back year after year?</p> <p>From the convention floor to the event organizer's perspective, we share the experiences, the highlights, and the hard-won lessons from one of the best weeks the hobby has to offer. Whether you've been to Adepticon or it's been on your bucket list, this episode will make you feel like you were right there with us.</p> <p><strong style="font-size: small;">Time Stamps:</strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size: small;">0:00:00 - Show Intro, Elite Choice</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: small;">0:12:00 - Hobby Progress, and Games Played and Adepticon Review Part 1</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: small;">1:26:15 - Games Played and Adepticon Review Part 2</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: small;">2:35:15 - Final Discussion and Show Closing</span></li> </ul> <p><strong style="font-size: small;">Relevant Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size: small;"><a href= "https://www.patreon.com/theics">The Independent Characters Patreon</a></span></li> <li><span style="font-size: small;"><a href= "http://www.tablewar.com/">Tablewar!</a> - SPONSOR</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: small;"><a href= "https://herrickgames.com/">Herrick Games & Hobbies</a> - SPONSOR</span></li> <li><span style="font-size: small;"><a href= "https://www.goonhammer.com">Goonhammer Media Network</a></span></li> <li><span style="font-size: small;"><a href= "https://www.adepticon.org">Adepticon</a></span></li> <li><span style="font-size: small;"><a href= "http://www.games-workshop.com">Games Workshop</a></span></li> <li><span style="font-size: small;"><a href= "http://www.blacklibrary.com">The Black Library</a></span></li> </ul>
