Mob Rules Mobcast | A Warhammer 40k Podcast

What do tiger stripes, quartered paint schemes and hands with glory holes have in common?  No, it was not that Volkswagen Beetle you had in college.  No, it was not the 1980's.... okay, maybe it kinda was the 1980's.  The answer I was looking for was 'The Badab Wars."  There is a lot of lore packed into this confrontation and a war that, even though it was written in the 1980's, is actually a pretty recent war in the scope of the 40K timeline.  But who cares about that?  We are just here for the dick jokes!  So, go pick out that shirt with the weird stain around the crotch that won't come out and you can't stop picking at as it slowly deteriorates the fabric, pour yourself a nice tall tasty glass of Pumpkin spice egg nog and bask in the NSFW sounds of Mob Rules!

Do you ever sit on your futon that you inhereted from the previous renter, staring out the window with those streaks that you can't get rid of no matter what you do and just think to yourself "why aren't there female space marines?"  Of course not, because that is a dumb question, instead you thought "how do I find the female characters in the lore?"  Thankfully we found the answer, and that was twitter!  Thank you twitter.  The lads mashed their brain boxes together to wrangle the ladies, mechanicus/um and get you all the news on ShadeSpire so that you didn't have to!  Okay, that is a crap explanation, you really want to dredge it up for yourself, but I needed a good ending to that sentence and wasn't committed to rewriting the first 2/3s.  Sorry. Anyway, it is time to pour yourself a tall tasty mug of coffee, mix in some sugar free non-dairy creamer you accidentally picked up when you meant to buy sugary creamer, plop some barely expired cream cups in it, put on your favorite Millennium Falcon t-shirt with

Long ago, I mean, long away, er, in the far future?  Okay, that one.  In the far future, in a land far away... hmmm, can I use "far" twice in once sentence?  Seems a little weird, not too weird, but a little.  Anyway, in the far future in a land far away on a planet covered in excess, there lived a family, much like your's or mine, rich beyond belief, running a solar system, each member plotting the demise of one another for control and fostering a mechanical, cloned abomination to succeed the throne, and everything continued on until a rag tag band of misfits in a Baneblade arrived.  BOOK REVIEW TIME!!!!  Been long awaited but we delve into Shadow Sword by Guy Haley and diznam, it is good! So don your compact foam T'au cosplay suit, pour yourself a nice tall tasty glass of instant ice coffee and sit back and indulge in the rock hard sounds of Mob Rules!

Are you getting that impression that GW stealth released a new army, the Imperial Guard?  Thanks to investigative journalism and four sets of keen eyes, we have uncovered the truth, that in fact the Imperial Guard go way back to the dawn of 40K!!!  Thats right.  In today's episode we uncover the truth about the guard, where they come from, why GW has been so secretive about them and what we see the future looking like for this undercover organization. So put on your mom's favorite nightgown that she made 23 years ago, pour yourself a tall tasty glass of Metamucil, sit back and endulge in the ever informative sounds of Mob Rules!

The episode we break down the functions of a polynomial, the effects of a black crusade and what it means to be a gerbil in Hollywood.  One of those things is true.  Can you find the true statement?  No calculators, only scratch paper now.  We also talk about what happened to Phil and what the past 30 years have been like in the realm of 40k.   All that and not much else on MOB RULES!

In our first ever episode on Canadian monetary policy, Jon and Ted delve deep into the financial workings of the Canadian petrol industry.  Well, sorta.  Anecdotally through reference to once buying gas in the Yukon.  That is pretty much the same as an in-depth look at monetary policy, right?  Thankfully we have a deeper subject: PRIMARIS MARINES!!!!!! The lore, the tabletop roles, etc.  Then we go into what it is to be older in our hobby, should we spend money or time?  What tools do we employ to keep the flame burning.  So, go to the liquor cabinet, pour yourself a nice tall tasty pint of Everclear, put on your favorite jeans with the twin holes between the crotch (remember to bring a blanket) and bask in the rotten tones of Mob Rules!

As Phil gets ready to head down the Al-Can we give him a bit of a handjob and courage him to talk about his beloved Dark Angels, the history, the organization, the why and how they became traitors.  But, shhhhh, don't tell him, he is still in denial.  We also go into the changing rule set, our favorite model kits and thank a fan for his home-made Jeff the Custodes. So pour a medium glass of weeks old flat root beer, plop a couple scoops of generic brand ice cream, put on your tech conference hoodie you got 4 years ago, sit back and bask in the awesome sounds of Mob Rules.

+EDIT+ the 1 Hour a Night facebook group was mentioned as hosting the Dark Imperium competition was it as the Warhammer 40000 page instead.Our Apologies to Alexander Good who ran the event. Goge Vandire.  What do you know about Goge Vandire and his brother Doge?  Yeah, that is what I thought, not much.  Lets get into it: he was a jerk, probably had a lil borderline personality issues, loved young girls, older girls too, and cheated on his taxes.  Kind of a jerk really.  BUT, he was an important jerk who was instrumental in creating the empire we all know and love... unless you don't love it, then it is the empire you know and do not love.  Ya see?  So, lets get into some Warhammer 40,000 lore with the Age of Apostasy! 

Ever find yourself basking in the warm glow of the smog hanging over your hive world illuminated by the manufactorum over the ridge of spires while sipping that exotic recaf wondering to yourself how you got so lucky in your grim dark world just to have your feelings wrenched from your bliss unexpectantly, twisted sideways, the color of life swell and shudder turning quickly into darkness as you are left an empty husk of a human barely able to perform basic natural functions?  If so thank an assassin!  Chances are you were an unsanctioned psyker and the emperor is better off now.  But don't just stop there, you memories of a life lost isn't the focus of this podcast, the focus is on the assassins from seven of the 12 temples as well as some other folks that like to play death dealer on their off hours.  So go down to your local quickie mart, grab yourself a tall tasty recycled plastic bottle of Faygo, put on your favorite hip hop hoodie and bundle up with the boombastic sounds of Mob Rules!

The lads delve into the history of perhaps the most polarizing Space Marines chapter: the Ultramarines. In wa way the history of the history of the Space Marines is the History of the Ultramarines more so than any other chapter whether you love them or hate them.  In a way the thing that makes them so interesting isn't who they are but the reaction towards them both in game and out.  Also this episode the eBay Price is Right is back!  So pony up to the bar, order yourself a nice tasty glass of room-temperature Tang, haphazardly apply some torn pieces of napkin to your facial stubble and soak in the noxious sounds of Mob Rules!

There are times like these in our lives, where change, change takes us down that uncomfortable path, removes the familiar and and gives us uncertainty. We came to know 7th edition, it was our friend, our cousin, our loved one, 7th meant a lot of things to us. We escaped into her bosom when the dishes need be washed, a presentation in school had us stressed out, our partner wanted to talk to us about why you watch gory moves. 7th was our mistress, and at other times everything else became the mistress as 7th took first string. In those nights, when 7th had your full attention, and you made notes to yourself, when you had that aha moment seeing that by putting a techmarine on bike in your devastator squad and it conferred relentless to the rest of the lads, or when you realized that if the Iron Hands Librarian took Gorgon’s Chains, rolled endurance on their psychic power and pulled an extra plus one on their warlord trait you could effectively have a one plus feel no pain. Moments like that made you feel specia

Shadows blot out the land as the destroyer hive blots out the already defuse sun.  Shadows of titans bringing death and stretch stretch across the land.  Today the Death Guard arrive to play you a song.  Awwwwww, they are so cute!  Don’t you want to just pick them up and cuddle them and kiss them and share their pox?  I do!  In this episode we delve into the squishy squeezyness of the 14th Legion and succumb to the Nurgle’s gifts.  So wrap yourself up in your favorite diseased blanket, put on those rotten bunny slippers, pour yourself a nice tasty glass of recently expired Kern’s Nectar and indulge in the postulant sounds of Mob Rules!

In today's history lesson we look at the multiple wars of Armageddon, the personalities that made history, the community art that Chaos makes in it's down time, movies that lead up to collapse and the wars still yet to come.  We also talk about how we see 8th edition panning out and where we have come from as fans.  All that and not much else on episode 49 of MOB RULES!

The storm came, the storm tussled and the storm left, and we are all left to sort through the carnage left by Chaos.  How did it end? What comes next?  As we figure this all out we went back in time to experience a re-release of things already experienced in Shadow War Armageddon!  So sit back, get yourself a tall tasty glass of vanilla chai flavored almond milk, put on your favorite onsie that has been stretched to fit you 35 years later and indulge in the ever informative sounds of Mob Rules!
