    Great listen and keeps me company while travelling for work. Although slightly concerned about Duncan’s love of ‘Hottie Bottie’s’. Keep it up guys!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 49: 40K Faction Focus - Necrons!
Q: What happens to the models and other items the DRPA buys but does not use in videos?
The studio stores unused miniatures and books, and uses them for paint testing, conversions, references, displays, and developing future projects. Some models are used to showcase paints, while books are kept in the studio library.
Episode 49: 40K Faction Focus - Necrons!
Q: Was Duncan's obsession with Imperial Knights and dislike of Chaos Knights based in reality, or was it all in fun?
Duncan says his fondness for Imperial Knights and their lore was genuine. The hostility toward Chaos Knights was a joke that he played up for content, and he also likes their models.
Episode 48: Lords & Legends Update
Q: Is there a way to equip additional items to units, or are loadouts fixed at launch?
Loadouts are currently fixed in the core game, with campaign play planned later to allow more customization as the rulebook develops.
Episode 47: Tone Pro & our favourite hobby gear
Q: When starting to paint a miniature, how do you decide where to start?
The guests explain that decisions depend on the model's internal structure, texture, and which areas affect the overall look most; often painters start with the trim or interior areas to set up a clean path to the main armour and highlights.
Episode 42: Question time.
Q: What are recommended listening options while painting?
We suggest a mix of classic 40k and fantasy novels, role-playing podcasts, and general audiobooks, emphasizing that the best choice depends on what you're painting and your personal taste in storytelling.
