House Shyeel Podcasters - GHOST DICE

Adam, Dan, and Mike discuss a bunch of random stuff, and agree on none of it! Based on the results of a poll from the HSP Facebook group, Adam tries out some Thyron and Ossyan Shadows ideas. The conversation deviates all over the place and we end up also talking about how the newest CID updates will affect us.  Intro by Forget the Whale. Sound editing by Zach Vogel.

Adam, Dan, and Mike have a longer than usual chat about all the stuff that's new for Ret! We discuss our favorite new models, including Shade4, the tier lists, our favorite lists to play currently, and the updated AFG. If you'd like to leave a question for us to address like we do in this episode, leave a comment on our Facebook group or on this page, or email ghostdiceblog@gmail.com. Music by Forget the Whale

Wait, that isn't Dylan and Daniel! Due to scheduling and really wanting to get an episode out for this ASAP, Adam pulls in two experienced Ret players from the Dallas meta - Nick Leland and Adam Dyer. New stats for models! Fantastic news! We cover Broshade the Fourth, Hemera, Arcanists, Guardians, Defenders, Spears, Swords, Solos and more in this unboxing of Ret Christmas. It's all about first impressions today, baby. And a HUGE shoutout to Zach Vogel for being a boss with sound editing for us. There is no way we could have gotten the episode out within 12 hours of the Warroom update without his help. Music by Forget the Whale

Trade points have given us a sneak peek on a bunch of new models. Adam, Dylan, and Daniel discuss what we know about these models and what we hope they include. New stuff includes Goreshade 4 returning as the Forgiven to the Iosans, a Command Attachment for the new Swordsmen, Nyss Defenders, Nyss solos, an Arcanist unit, Spears of Scyrah, the Fane Knight Guardian, and Hemera. Wow, that's a lot!And join the House Shyeel Podcasters Facebook group for conversation between episodes. Intro music by Forget the Whale. Audio editing by Zach Vogel.

Indirect Ret buff, ahoy! With some of the biggest and baddest of Warmachine getting nerfed, we take some time to discuss what that will mean for the future of the Retribution of Scyrah in the tournament scene. Adam, Dylan, and Dan are interrupted by a late guest, Michael Ireland, just so Mike can remind Dan that he's wrong. More discussion on Helios, the first and only tier we have, a Thyron list that doesn't suck, and more!Also, if you're interested in reading what Adam has been doing instead of Warmachine lately, check out the Slim Down Showdown competition blog. Please leave a comment, as it helps Adam towards winning the grand prize. Intro music by Forget the Whale

Adam and Dylan are joined by Mike Ireland to dissect the new errata, the first big balancing errata of MK3! Significant changes are made, and we discuss what this all means for the Retribution. Adam and Mike are sleepy, but Dylan's summery enthusiasm makes up for it. Music by Forget the Whale

Ossyan has lost Deadeye! The Retribution is over! Oh, wait, no, he's still okay. Christoffer Wedding joins us to talk about the changes we know about, what we expect, and what we're scared of. We also discuss Destors and Thyron by fan request. Enjoy! Music by Forget the Whale.

Today we talk about Dylan's trip to the WTC (and winning it) and some meta musings we've had. We think about the impending errata and how it is likely to affect Retribution. Though delayed and with lower sound quality than normal, hope you still enjoy! Music by Forget the Whale

It has been a long time since I last posted an episode, but here's a new one! We actually recorded this one a while ago, but I never got around to editing it and posting it online. I'm still pretty busy, so I didn't have the time to devote my normal level of attention to editing this time around. But at least it's here!This time, the three of us talk about Meta Analysis and Faction Matchups. We cover the Warmachine factions. Enjoy! Intro music by Forget the Whale

HSP isn't dead! We just lost an episode and I've been really busy with normal life, so it has taken me a while to get the one up.While Daniel is at GenCon, Dylan and Adam talk about Elara2 with some initial thoughts on our new caster. We also talk about our first impressions with some of the meta analysis and faction matchups, following on the listener vote from the previous episode.  Intro music by Forget the Whale

We rank all the casters, worst to best! But first, we discuss several of the lessons we've learned in Mark 3, the meta we've seen at tournaments and conventions like Texicon so far, and which casters we are enjoying the most. Many topics are covered, as the focus today is very broad. Enjoy!Also, a poll! What do you want us to cover next?

House Shyeel Podcasters, now with Tom Guan! Okay, he's not a real Retribution player, but we had to have someone with good battle reports from Lock N' Load since Daniel let us down! We recap the best matches both of them experienced, discuss why Tom played Ret in the first place, and talk about a Cryx player's perspective on the Iosan army. We also talk about the Lys Healer, the new Swordsmen, and Helynna! Intro music by Forget the Whale

Adam, Dylan, and Daniel discuss the models they are most looking forward to playing in Mark 3. Since the discussion is about leaked spoilers instead of completely official ones, there is a chance that some of what we talk about will be completely wrong! But we talk about it anyway. Enjoy!Dylan: Rahn, Discorida, Heavy Rifle Team, Skeryth Issyan.Adam: Vyros1, Hydra, Sentinels, Dawnguard Scyir.Daniel: Vyros2, Gorgon, Invictors, Nayl Intro music by Forget the Whale

Spoiler time! We talk about the first round of information we've gotten about Ret, including our new caster that got leaked, some of the jacks, the Ret Insider info, and more! Intro music by Forget the Whale

Warmachine is dead! Long live Warmachine! Instead of the normal, focused discussion, we talk about the little we know about Mark 3 and what it means for Retribution. We even discuss some predictions! Due to the unpredictable nature of Mark 3 spoilers, we are not sure when the next HSP will air. Once we have the full rules, expect us to get back to the regular schedule. Until then, we'll be a little more flexible with timing of future episodes. Predictions recorded to compare with the actual rules:Dylan - Rahn gets an upgrade of Force HammerAdam - Dawnguard Scyir and Sentinels run jacks amazing and are bonkersDaniel - House Ellowyr are a featured unit in Prime.

Today we have our very first guest on HSP - Bret Fogel, a Circle Oroboros player who has played against a lot of Retribution. We talk about the Ret vs. Circle matchup. What's good, what's bad, and how has it changed over the years? To hear more from Bret, check out The Leyline podcast. Intro music by Forget the Whale

We're back! Today we are forcing Daniel to talk with us about Rahn. Dylan and Adam love playing as Rahn, but Daniel is a little grumpy on the topic. Can we Telekinesis him around on the premier Retribution magic user?  TiechoNortheal's Sentinel ListRahn-Chimera-Phoenix-SylysSentinels x2Battle Mages x2Magister x2Arcanist x2MHA x217 BoxesRahn-Phoenix-SylysArcanistBattle Mages x2MHSF + UASFA x2Ghost Snipers x2MHAAiyana and HoltEiryss 2
