Welcome back people,

This is our long awaiting SCGT 2012 show! However, the first section is not Warhammer related, you can skip to around 0:50:30 if you just want the WFB content (Though please listen to our announcement re our new Sponsor first).

So crack on to find out whether Chris lost a game, why Scott is so disinterested, what Slalamanders are, and of course, how Scott and Diesel came to play Stephen Hawking at WFB.

I have just remembered I forgot to fix the sound levels on this show, hopefully its not too bad. If you want to get in touch re Sponsorship/Donations, use lunatic_pandora@btinternet.com – For anything else, including Ask Ben Diesel questions, use info@theblacksun.co.uk – make sure you come back for the Call to War Episode, and don’t forget Dice will be coming soon.

My final piece of advice is; keep calm and stick to the Brojuice!

Hello boys and girls!

Unfortunately this isn’t the SCGT Episode you are probably hoping for! Some of the guys had other plans, so that recording is delayed slightly. However, rather than leave you all without your Black Sun fix, I thought I’d put out something a bit different for you…

This show features two Interviews; Weird Porn Matt Lee & Warhammer Joey, of YouTube fame! As it happens, I was pretty drunk whilst interviewing Matt, so excuse the crisp eating etc, and had a cold throughout the recordings!! Not my greatest performances here.

I hope you enjoy the different format of this show, and really welcome any feedback you may have. So send that, as well as some new Ask Ben Diesel questions, to info@theblacksun.co.uk – Also if you are a potential Show Sponsor, please get in touch.

Welcome back boys and girls!

First up, we have a brand new sponsor! Go check out www.warploqueminiatures.co.uk – some awesome stuff there.

We have a great show for you this week! A wide variety of things are covered; We know Scott’s middle name, but what are everyone elses? Ben Diesel gets a new phone, we slag off Ogres a little bit and then the brand new Empire army book gets a bit of a review, followed by the long awaited return of Ask Ben Diesel…though a lot was cut from this, hopefully it won’t cause too much offence. Finally the Roadhouse competition winner is announced!!

I did forget to Levelate this show, but hopefully the sound is better than last time around! Enjoy the show, check out all the links below (especially the Michael Bolton music video!!) and as ever, email anything you want to info@theblacksun.co.uk

Hello!

I’ve had a bit of nightmare getting this one together. We’ve lost over two hours of recordings due to our mic pretty much dying! Still, here it is, with reports from not one, but two, Tournaments; Thorhammer & South Coast: Evolution.

Unfortunately lots of the SC:E recordings were lost and have been replaced with just myself speaking – hope its not utterly boring! But yeah, disastrous broken recordings aside, there are some gems in here. Please excuse the terrible sound quality in places also.

Regardless, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the show! Please remember to enter Ben Diesel’s Roadhouse Competition…as well as the “other” Competition! Also email anything you want to info@theblacksun.co.uk – we are in need of some Ask Ben Diesel questions.

Hey guys,

Just a quick word to say sorry for the downtime the Podcast has experienced recently. I have now switched to a new host, so fingers crossed everything will run smoothly from now! The older episodes will initially be unavailable, but over time will be added for you to enjoy again & again.

Thanks for listening,

Welcome back boys & girls!

This episode sees us reporting from Polish Sausage, the recent Team Tournament at Maelstrom Games. It’s a Battle Report heavy show, though we do break this up with some “interesting” topics as would be expected!!

I apologise for the poor sound quality in places. It can mostly be attributed to Scott and Diesel rolling around together on a bed…eurghhh!!

Enjoy the show, remember to enter Ben Diesel’s Roadhouse Competition…as well as the “other” Competition! Also email anything you want to info@theblacksun.co.uk – we are in need of some Ask Ben Diesel questions.

We are back!!!

After a bit of break we have a brand new Episode for you lucky lucky people to enjoy.

The more eagle-eyed (Budgie-eyed?) listeners will notice this should probably be Episode 17 – but after two Episode 16′s I thought 18 was more apt!

We don’t really have a topic, but talk about all sorts of things, swiftly moving from one conversation topic to another; Chris likes the Mantic Elves and wants free stuff, Caz gets on his soapbox about Special Characters, Scott hates the K’daai Destroyer and much much more….

Welcome to something special boys & girls!

As it’s the festive season, The Black Sun decided to release not one, but two shows for you!

This was the original recording for Episode XVI and was clearly destined for the bin; the show that never should’ve been! But I thought I’d treat you all and put it out. I’ll be honest, this is terrible; full of horrible noises. Something kinda cool though, is the remixes/different versions of the songs from the other Edition (Caz takes credit for that idea).

Chris, Caz, Dom & and an incredibly drunk Ben Diesel are joined by Special Guest Emo Tom, The Carnival Prince, for a fun & drink fuelled end to 2011.

Emo Tom exclaims during the recording, “This Episode will be good if you spend 4 days editing.” – I didn’t. I thought it was probably “better” off in its raw state.

Dont forget, this will be our last show for a short while, but don’t worry, we’ll be back, better/worse than ever!!

As mentioned on the show, we are looking for you to send in your New Years Resolutions, for a special “Ask Ben Diesel”.

Really hope you guys enjoy the show, please give the other edition a listen as well! Most importantly, have a merry Christmas and a very happy New Year!

Welcome to something special boys & girls!

As it’s the festive season, The Black Sun decided to release not one, but two shows for you!

This version is what you might like to call our “normal” version, though it still features Caz getting progressively drunk and some trademark lax editing towards the end! There are a few special guests who join the regular hosts for a fun end to 2011.

You get to hear more excellent lifelike impressions of the Pointhammered boys as Caz takes on Johnny, and I give the Bear a go!

Of course there is plently  of Warhammer chat as well. Dont forget, this will be our last show for a short while, but don’t worry, we’ll be back, better/worse than ever!!

Hello boys & girls!

Welcome to another lengthy episode of The Black Sun podcast. This time we are (literally) sat out in the cold reciting our time spent at the Downfall tournament in Cardiff!

To avoid getting cold, I drink a bit much and subsequently go on a couple of rants, talking absolute rubbish! Thought I’d leave them in for your amusement though, I’m nice like that.

As ever, I hope you enjoy the show. We are running low on “Ask Ben Diesel” questions, so be sure to get them, and anything else, emailed in to info@theblacksun.co.uk – next episode will be our final show of the year, before a short break at the beginning of 2012.

Welcome to a monster episode of The Black Sun!

This week we are discussing our time at the “No Holes Barred” Tournament. The sound quality is certainly better than last time, but varied as we record in no less than 4 different locations!

Scott is super moody and would rather be playing Skyrim, but still we manage to get in around a bajillion battle reports, play a secret recording of Diesel admitting his post masturbation rituals, talk about Justin Bieber (yes, really!) and even quell a sabotage attempt from Mark Wildman.

Apologies as I had a bit of a cold and sound odd in places!

Hello boys & girls!

This episode is our long awaited coverage of the Mansfield Maul. Unfortunately the sound quality is terrible as we recorded in a pub on a busy Friday night, I thought this may be the case but didnt want to hold off the recording any longer. There is also some paper crumpling on the mic; which I know Dave Witek will hate :p

I do hope you can make it through the episode as there is some good stuff in there.

Other than report on the Tournament, we find out what Chris, Caz & Dom have been up to…including another disturbing revelation from Whoretongue himself. Does he have no shame?

Don’t forget to email our shout out sponsor, Ali Bamford, about his cool new bottle openers (bamfordai@gmail.com).

Enjoy the show and check back in a couple of weeks for another Tournament report and, I promise, better sound quality.

Welcome back boys & girls!

This episode is just a short one before the Mansfield Maul.

There is just two of us on the mic today; myself and Scott. We talk about our preparation for the Maul and also report upon a game between my Dark Elves and Scott’s Empire, as it happens.

Unfortunately we do drift off a bit into talking about things on the tabletop as if you can see them, so apologies there. Also the recording for a wrap up segment was corrupted

Anyway, enjoy the show, and check back next time for what will surely be an epic show!

Finally, Episode XI is here! This has been sat on the editing desk for a while now. After listening to some of the rubbish in this show, you won’t believe I cut over 45 minutes out of it !! I berate Dave Fraser saying this podcast is a mix of gold and garbage, though this episode I think proves him right!

This show is our first Army Review, and with Scott recently becoming the Best General in the UK for them, The Empire was an obvious choice. Some of my drunken opinions are frankly terrible and just wrong, but luckily Scott (fast losing the will to live) was on hand to put me straight.

Caz hits us with a rap for the first time in a while, but mostly just sounds disabled throughout this episode. We do have a rather large “Ask Ben Diesel” segment for your enjoyment aswell.

Hello boys & girls!

Welcome to Episode 9; The first part of our review of The Warlords GT. Look out for part 2 next week (which will contain much more WFB content)!

In this show we take a while to get going…about 22mins before we mention any Warhammer! Any loud noises you’ll hear in the background are Ben Diesel blowing his nose. Lovely.

Dunno why the intro + song went a bit funny. Apologies there.

Hey,

Dom mentioned that people who only listen to the podcast via this site and not iTunes will not have the pleasure of seeing the lovely Episode Covers I make for each show. I have gone back and edited all the posts to include the photos for episodes 2-6 (there wasnt one for the first show).

Not that exciting, but yeah…enjoy!

Check back later in the week as hopefully Episode VII will be out this Thursday, it promises to be a cracker.

Hello boys & girls!

In this Episode Chris, Caz & Dom attend the Midlands Open and in general have a lot of fun.

Our secondary topic revolves around a huge revelation from Dom!

The majority of the episode was recorded in a super sweaty car straight after the event, we get very easily distracted by people watching and have to take a lot of breaks. Lots of Warhammer chat (for once!) though.

Hello once again boys & girls!

At a first glance it would seem we are treating you with another fantastic episode in quick succession, however look a little closer and you will see that this is a non-WFB episode!

Our very own Scott Lines got married this past weekend. The Black Sun were present and I took the mic along to record some of the events. Does Dom make a good stripper? What is the name of Diesel’s pet Tortoise? These questions and many more will remain unanswered…but we do try!

It’s only a short episode and just a bit of fun, so we won’t be offended if you don’t listen or enjoy! Give it a go though, it may provide a giggle or two.

Remember to get your Rap’s in for the contest. The deadline for the is Monday 8th August.

In this Episode, The Black Sun take a break from their Tournament schedule to discuss the comp packs that’ll be used at many upcoming UK events. Apologies to all overseas listeners as we neglected to talk about how comp is handled in other countries.

As well as this, Storm of Magic also gets some more conversation; find out whether Ben Diesel loves or hates it. Chris talks (more) about Manticores, Caz raps, and Dom is reluctant to share his sexting secrets!

We also announce our first contest; and its a good ‘un! Many thanks to Bryan Carmichael from Unseen Lerker for sorting us out with such a unique prize. The deadline for the contest is Monday 8th August.

Newly sponsored by Unseen Lerker, The Black Sun boys travel to sunny Cardiff for a weekend’s gaming at Firestorm. Find out how we got on at the event, how Diesel fell out of bed, what a Pejazzle is and see whether Dom get’s his end away!!

Unfortunately, there is around 10 seconds of audio missing from the beginning of the Episode, I think I changed a file name whilst exporting to MP3 – I’m a pro! Also I am still working out sound issues and there is a fair bit of annoying background noise throughout some of the sections. Stick with us, it’ll improve I’m sure.
