The MeG Podcast Season 3 Episode 4 - Nikephorian Byzantines
Sunday Jan 29, 2023
Sunday Jan 29, 2023
For the first MeG Podcast of 2023 the team, plus special guests, look at the Nikephorian Byzantines - their history and army lists.
A popular army choice, but one that can be a bit tricky to get a list you like from. Hopefully the team give you something to help with this, or maybe not ...
Team regulars Matt, Richard and Nik were joined by Philip Powell and Jamie Mayers both of whom used Nikephorian Byzantine at the recent Ice & Fire competition. They bring their armies and experience to the podcast, and it is fair to say that one of their lists proved popular with the team.
The army lists and other supporting material (some book suggestions along with a few figure suppliers for 15mm and 28mm) can be found at - https://gamer-at-the-end-of-time.blogspot.com/2023/01/the-meg-podcast-season-3-episode-4.html
There is also a glossary for non-MeGers to help with some of the terms used, and this can be found here - https://mortem-et-gloriam.fandom.com/wiki/Glossary_for_new_players_and_non-MeGers

The MeG Podcast Season 3 Episode 3 - Looking Back, Looking Forward
Wednesday Dec 21, 2022
Wednesday Dec 21, 2022
Rather than get into some serious history and dubious army list suggestions the usual team plus guests Paul Cummins and Graham Klaka sit and chat about a few MeG related things.
So sit down, maybe grab a drink (Paul did) and listen to what the gang have to say about what they enjoyed in 2022, what they are looking forward to in 2023, and, amongst other things, why catafracts may be the best troops in MeG.
On a more practical level Graham shares some thoughts and information about 3D printing which will hopefully be of interest.
Apologies that Paul's audio came out a bit quiet; we did have some "Microsoft issues" on the night š
Lastly, to all our listeners have a great Christmas and New Year, and hope to see many of you at events in 2023 š
