A table full of well-made terrain not only makes a game more tactical and interesting, but it also tells a story.  Warcaster was built for terrain in mind with its rules for movement, climbing, and jumping. In this episode, we discuss the different ways to create a thematic table with playable terrain. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of buying, printing, and scratch-building.

The inscrutable Aeternus Continuum is a vast cult outlawed by both the Alliance and the Marcher Worlds. Primarily known and feared for their piracy, armed incursions, and violent abductions, few outsiders recognize the true scale or purposes of this shadowy organization. 

In this episode we explore the lore and the tactics of the cult. We are also joined by Privateer Press digital sculptor, Doug Hamilton, and he talks about sculpting the Continuum and also the personalized backstory of his army.

In this special Charge & Spike we are joined by Privateer Press Art Director Michael Vaillancourt for an interview about what it is like to be an Art Director for a miniatures gaming company.  Michael shares with us some of his vast background of experience and talks about what it was like creating the look and feel of Warcaster: Neo-Mechanika.  Michael also shares with us some tidbits of what he was working on at the time of the interview, the new IKRPG: Requiem books.
