Direct Misfire

Alrighty, the episode you've been waiting for has arrived! Mantic has bequeathed unto us an advanced copy of the soon-to-be-released Clash of Kings 25 book and lo, the knowledge inside this tome will be imparted to thyself! Join us as we discuss some of the more important changes to each army as well as cover every single Command Order available. Enjoy!

ConVic, Victoria's largest event has been run and won. And while the world is going crazy about command dice and the Clash of Kings tournament in the UK, Direct Misfire has been joined by old mate Huw one more time to run through the highlights & results of ConVic 24.    This will be the last time with Huw in the intro as we turn a page with Andrew. Its only fitting Huw is here to forget unit names and special rules one last time with the intro tunes. 

 ConVic 2024, Victoria's masters qualifying tournament is nearly upon us! listen in  to Bensome, Sellick & Andrew as they run through their 2100 point lists, a favorite list each & bold predictions for the 6 game event.    You can can find all the lists, scenarios & players pack here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DDYzPRQBeP39wNs3QnqPQdAiV7DktWvE?usp=drive_link If you're wanting information on  Clash of Kings 2025 Australia  - you can find it here: https://kingsofwaraustralia.com/clash-of-kings-australia/ Cheers, Sellick

That's it! We've made it passed the halfway point of the year! To celebrate such a feat we've got another episode hot out of the oven for you to nosh on (recorded in May and June :o). Continuing the "Up Your Game" series, the chaps give you the score on all things High Defence and how to beat them. No this isn't just an episode whining about Dwarves because we also have Mike Rossi joining the cast. He's on to chat about an upcoming a pro-dwarf novel which he actually wrote: Honor's Price (not a typo)! Enjoy! PS: Here's a link to the Amazon page to pre-order: Jeff Bezos's little marketplace that sells stuff like Mike Rossi's book PPS: Convic is fast approaching, make sure you grab your ticket and maybe throw a grudge challenge out there: Convic Facebook event page

*Yawns* Bugger, it's June already?! Where'd the last 4 months go? Now that we've exited our brumation it's time to get back on the bike and release some more episodes. Oh, would you look at that; there's one right here! We aim to bring you a series of shorter, more tactically focused episodes where we discuss a particular aspect of the game some might be struggling with. A series which will help "up your game" so to speak.  First cab off the rank will be about Flying Beasts and How to Beat them into submission.  Enjoy! PS: Convic is coming up fast so make sure to grab your ticket before it's too late! https://www.facebook.com/events/2716502248501176

That's it, we're done, Clash of Kings has been run and won! Join Bensome and Sellick (no Andrew due to communication issues) as they recap their final day of the tournament and poorly impersonate Andrew in his absence.  This is a shorter than usual episode as its late and I'm tired. #whinge Enjoy! ~Bensome

It's here, the Australian Clash of Kings 2024! All the fellas are contending and recap their results for the first of two days.  Take a listen and find out if they're doing just okay or smashing their opponents #nerftheherd Before you jump in, be aware that this is a "Nights" episode is will be loose, audio quality will drop, and profane exclamations will be in abundance.  Enjoy!

Happy New Year! The gents have all made it through the festive period alive and well and are warming up to attend the upcoming Australian Clash of Kings tournament! Join them as they announce their army lists as well as pick out a few of their favorites from amongst the contestants.  Enjoy!

Everything you've heard is true. Sellick and Andy both went to masters and rolled dice (mostly on the table) while Bensome did the hardwork of manning the Youtube Channel live stream, and now we get to talk about it.  Finish your last minute amazon purchaces and get your festive brew in hand as we run through Australian Masters results, the live stream, and then trundle through the year in review. Do yourself a favor and make sure you listen to the last minute or so where it would appear Bensome has squirelled away everytime Sellick made an error this year. Thanks mate; glad to see my flu recorded episode was not excluded from this!  In all seriousness, Direct Misfire wishes you all a safe festive period, celebrating Christmas/end of year break with family and friends. If you find yourself a bit flat/lost or sober, please reach out to DM we'll be happy to have a chat! Cheers & Merry Christmas Sellick & the DM crew.

The seers have spoken and the curtain has been lifted. Have the the prophecies been fulfilled or shall the whining continue for another year? That's right, it's time to unwrap the gift Mantic has given to see if the last three episodes made any impact at all. Inside this ep the lads cover a whole bunch of their favorite goodies found in the imminent release of the latest Clash of Kings book.  Also in this episode the fellas take a punt at who'll win this years Australian Masters tournament. Enjoy! PS. Thanks again Mantic Games for the review copy of the book... if only we had checked our emails before recording the first wish-listing episode >.<

It's here! The final part in the long awaited Whinge-Fest Trilogy! Wrapping up this epic saga, the lads attempt to find the imperfections of the Evil aligned armies and take a backseat driver approach to resolving them.  There's not much more to be said really, so I guess I won't. :) Enjoy! 

What's this?! An episode being released within two weeks of the previous one? Yes indeedy. The guys have come good for once and are back again to whinge about the current state of the Neutral aligned armies and what needs a "fixin'".   Enjoy! #inspiring4herohero #atleastgivethepoorbuggeraname

Ho Ho Ho! Yes, we may still be a few months out from Festivus but it won't stop us from acting spoiled and asking for things. So we have.  Join us as we run through all of the Good aligned armies and point out their flaws and how they could be improved. While this will have no bearing on the upcoming Clash of Kings book, it's always nice to dream.  Let us know what's on your wish list for the armies being discussed. :) Enjoy!

The cold winter days are almost behind us downunder but dont fear Direct Misfire are back again to heat up your ears. We've come together to give you a quick overview of the Twilight Kin info thats been released, recent local tournaments and, importantly we discuss the impending UK Clash of Kings and pick our favorites for the podium.  Settle in for a short and sweet espisode to kick off your weekend. DM 

Brrr... It's cold in here. There must be some Northern Alliance updates in the atmosphere!* Yes, that's right. The new Northern Alliance changes have dropped and we're here to go over each and every change. Here's hoping you've stocked up on frozen tokens; you're going to need them. Not only that, we take a look at the winning US Masters list, isolated from the pilot in control of the thing. The lads also attended a two day tournament "Convic 2023" and break down their failing and successes.  Enjoy! *It's unlikely that the Northern Alliance are the reason for the downshift in temperature and more the fact that it is Winter in this part of the world. 

We're back!   Bensome, Sellick and new guy Andrew run through 10 lists from the upcoming ConVic 23 tournament. We discuss the units, strategies and  where we think some of the weaknesses are!  Will the new changes to nightstalkers make them the ones to beat? or will the new look army and guile of Jeff Traish take it out again? ConVic 23 has an extremely strong field with 8x 2022 Aussie masters players attending so the battle for the top spot will be fierce... but quite relaxing for the rest of us,  with 1970 prices beers to guide us through the two days.  We all know the real winner is Kings of War. Slap the headphones in and give us a  listen. PS:  Forgot totally about convic but want to attend even for one day? Feel free to contact Geoff,  Sellick or Andrew Goodman and we'll get you a game.

Join Bensome, Sellick and new co-host Andrew as we dive into all things new!  From the new nightmarish Nightstalker changes, Mantic's  Vault direction, Warmachines & rule discussions all the way to recent tournament results around the world and upcoming new events.  Give your ears some love and slap on your headphones for 44 minutes of kings of war listening pleasure, then give those keyboards a tap and let us know what you think.  Cheers, Sellick

No need to double check if you're listening to an episode that was recorded back in 2016... (have we really been recording for that long?!) Yes that's right, in this nostalgia trip of an episode, former co-host Spoon makes his return! Following up that old-timey goodness is the fact that we chat Warhammer 6th edition of all things.  The trip doesn't stop there; this episode was recorded using the very first mic purchased for the podcast. Such memories. Much wow (and ambient room echo). The trip doesn't last that long, it's a pretty short ep, but good things come in small packages.  Pull up a very squeaky chair (apologies in advance) and enjoy!

Bensome, Sellick and Huw navigate life to record the much awaited 2023 Kings of War power Rankings!  Do you play with a current heavy weight of the Kings of War or dominating with an underdog? Listen in as we run through our tiers assigning armies and discussing differences in our SABCD!  Let us know what you agree or disagree with!  DM 

Hey, do you happen to know what time it is? Correct, it's podcast-episode-released-o'clock! We thought we'd ring in the New Year a month late, because that's how we roll... and by ring I mean talk Kings of War.  Stop attempting to fulfil your New Year resolutions and have a listen as we talk about the recent Aussie Clash of Kings, and drop a few tasty morsels on the mid-year Convic tourney. Not only that, we run through the details on the National Kings of War slow-grow which is currently taking place. Enjoy! PS: Don't worry, your resolutions will still be there laying all forgotten and neglected once you're done with the podcast. ;)
