Cast Dice is a generalist podcast dedicated to trying out and discussing tabletop games, war games and board games, that we, as gamers, love. The Ghost Army Podcast is an Australian based Bolt Action podcast that focusses on historical, gaming and hobby elements of the game that we love playing and taking about.

The Cast Dice Podcast 239 - Bunker Assault Event and Warhammer 40k Second Edition

This we look back at Warhammer 40K Second Edition! The shift from Second to Third Edition was one of, if not the, biggest edition changes in modern gaming. Third Edition became the template that 40k followed for many editions and years later BUT does this mean that Second Edition should be forgotten? Today we discuss why this might not be the case. This week I am joined by the Bring & Battle Wargaming guys, who were the organisers of this year's fantastic Bunker Assault 2nd Ed 40k event in the UK. We chat about the event, Second Edition as a game and nostalgia in gaming. I was recovering from being ill in this episode so my voice is a little funny. Sorry about that!

Just finalising my CanCon army and enjoying the cast. Super fired up to get down to one of Aktar's events (do a little bushwalking and enthusiastically drive some Tassie roads as well). Props for shouting out to the businesses that support our community.
