"Madaxeman.com Podcast - Lockdown Specials!" Topic

The very sporadic Madaxeman.com Podcasts have been turbocharged by Lockdown, and are now coming out weekly!

Basically its 6 gamers chatting about what they've painted in the last week and what they might paint next week, with a bit of a quiz and some other oddball features. Probably not something to replace Netflix of Amazon Prime, but hopefully reasonable background noise to listen to whilst painting under Lockdown conditions.

The pods so far, and all of the ones in future can be found here: madaxeman.podbean.com

You can also find it by searching for Madaxeman.com on iTunes

Nice, I'll be sure to listen.

This week we reach the unfeasible landmark of 8 Lockdown Podcasts, and a special guest joins us from the socially isolated South Coast town of Bournemouth in the shape of Adam to bring the number of contributors up to an almost unmaneagable 7 for the first time ever.

Even with someone who used to do a sensible job as a schoolteacher added to the mix, the wargaming-related conversation still manages to ramble across the mental tabletop in a somewhat erratic fashion, covering important yet strangely rarely discussed topics such as what colour should rigging be on a 1/240th scale 19th Century Ironclad, do Gnomes still have a place in modern warfare, can a camel get a tan if it stands out in the desert too long, is the Austrian army a painters dream or simply a signifier of laziness, if a Grenzer joined the cast of Eastenders would he become a Geezer, is it still legal to resist buying 10mm Napoleonics, and does getting your children to paint Perry plastics fall under the remit of the Modern Day Slavery act?

There is also a phenomenally long discussion on how to assemble and use Hannibals Carthaginian army under ADLG (skip to the 1 hour 25 minute mark when you get to it if you're not interested in ADLG list building), and a new feature on what games we have actually played in the last week.

Oh, and Andy's Quiz returns – cue the music!

Still going… with a proper Lockdown sweeping the UK, the Madaxeman team return with Episode 49 after a 2-week boiler-related hiatus with a typically rambling episode combining painting chat, Andy's Quiz and a barely in-depth look at the history behind the Late Imperial Roman army, and which are the best manufacturers to choose when cooking one up on the tabletop.

In between these vitally important topics we also cover the ethics of using an elephant brush on a horses' ass, how to wargame the long-awaited Schwarzenegger-Dredd crossover movie, how Dave blagged his way into UCL by claiming to speak fluent Barkerese, we hand out some freebies from Martin at Vexillia, and finally the much-trailed Australian Love Egg expose is, erm, exposed.

Welcome back to Lockdown – especially as you do now know that you have got nothing better to do than listen to this podcast whilst painting figures that you'll not deploy until next Spring.
