Back home from Adepticon, feels good to turn our attention onto our own event - Under the Dice Fest! Which will be here by the time you know it. Before we get into the nitty-gritty of event planning, let's take a second to reflect on how everything went this year in Milwaukee. We met lots of new people this year, did lots of new things, and in this episode we break down the highs and lows of Adepticon 2025. We talk about merch we picked up, games we played, and interactions we had. On top of that Terry talks about his Galaxy at War campaign, which you can get more information about on Patreon (free, click here!). Gage talks about building his harridan for his 'nids and doing basecoats in primer, and Steve tells us a little of the new board he's making for the NE Mordheim Open and how it will connect to his other epic boards!Big shout out to all those Scumbags that decided to join our Patreon, you are the reason we can keep on keeping on - thank you!Watch out for the Inquisitor, and Bash the Planet!We have sick merch!

Episode 57: Dave Taylor and Nate Dungeon at Adepticon!
I mean - Come ON! how can you beat something like this. This episode was recorded in a secret service corridor at Adepticon, where we trapped the LEGEND Dave Taylor (@davetaylorminiatures) and our friend Nate Dungeon (@natedungeon). We get to go DEEP with two of the most creative, bad ass freaks on this side of the hobby. Dave Taylor talks his favorite projects he's been a part of throughout his legacy, as well as how he created "The Art Of..." series, and the impact of 28 Mag (Kickstarter Here!) . Nate talks to us about community organizing, running 40k tournaments, and some amazing stories about the War of the False Primarch scenarios he's been running on the tabletop. This one is NOT to be missed. On top of that we talk the history of interaction between Games Workshop and it's fans, the impact of Games Days and why community events like Adepticon are important. It was a real treat to sit down with these two and have such a great discussion.Big shout out to all those Scumbags that decided to join our Patreon, you are the reason we can keep on keeping on - thank you!Build your Squiggoth and Bash the Planet!We have sick merch!

Episode 56: Iwata Go To Adepticon
Westbound and down, we're getting ready for truckin! Headed out to the BIG SHOW - Adepticon, where all our friends live. Today we are talking about our hopes and concerns for the new venue and what we are looking forward to seeing! Gage talks Influenza type-A, listbuilding and leaning into that two color primed grindset. Terry breaks down his 40k campaign and ways (hopefully) to make it easy on the players and the organizers, so your campaign can be sustainable (at some point post-adepticon it'll be over on the Patreon). Steve talks about the new "steve palette" and using oils after being inspired by our friend Matt (@totally_not_panicking). Hope to see you at Adepticon!

Episode 55: Funfetti and Cliffclimber
HELLO, HELLO! We're all stoked up on studios this week. We've been organizing the communal hangout joint and we've also all be reconfiguring our personal spaces in some way shape and form. So today we talk, ideologies, methodologies, philosophies and skullduggeries that go into our spaces and talk ideas you can steal and use. We all know peeps are different - so head over to the In Rust We Trust Discord and send us a pic of your nest, we wanna see! On top of that Gage tells us about it being narrative or nuffin' in any games he plays (hates chess), and his square base CHORFS. Steve talks dad rock and playing Vampire the Masquerade with Gagey. Terry crushes a LITTLE too hard on Evan Monsma (sorry) and the grimdark tag sale at Adepticon.Does anyone notice that these descriptions have gotten slightly smaller each episode?Big shout out to all those Scumbags that decided to join our Patreon, you are the reason we can keep on keeping on - thank you!Hold your friend's hands and Bash the Planet!We have sick merch!

Episode 54: Grimdark Hot Dog Eating Contest
We're back at it again for another old-school Hive Scum yap session. We're all over the place this episode, talking about projects we're finishing up, games we've been really digging, ideas for future projects and campaigns, RPGs and buying nice brushes. Terry talks a lot about his Skaven army, gives a little lore for it, and talks about his weirdo paint jobs. He's hoping to make a little space over at the In Rust We Trust discord where you can see all these. Gage is talking about Ironsworn, a Quiet Year and other RPGs, as well as his intro games of OPR Regiments. Steve talks about finishing touches for Flames, and also how he wants to expand campaign settings to be all encompassing for any fantasy games we play. Peace and love bby!Big shout out to all those Scumbags that decided to join our Patreon, you are the reason we can keep on keeping on - thank you!Consult the Oracle and Bash the Planet!We have sick merch!
