New forums added to WestGamer!
There have been a number of things happening behind the scenes for WestGamer over recent weeks, and some of the more astute of you may have noticed some signs of these over the last few days. As we mentioned late last year, one of the ongoing changes to the site is the move to open it up to a much broader range of gaming groups in WA, in order to provide a resource more encompassing the broader spectrum of hobby gaming in our great state. Well, available now are the following new forums on the site!



Magic: The Gathering is a global phenomenon in terms of popularity around the world, and Western Australia is no exception, with a huge number of people playing the game locally, in both a casual and competitive capacity. WestGamer now features a range of forums for players & collectors of this fantastic collectable card game - including news, tournaments & events, casual play gamefinder, general discussion, the Magic deck vault, Magic rules court, and the all important Trading den for people to organise their trades locally online and get the cards they need for that new killer deck!



Another game that has been getting a lot of press recently and is currently exploding in WA is Malifaux - a character driven skirmish game released last year by Wyrd Miniatures. There has been plenty of discussions on WestGamer on this game already, not to mention regular games at many of the local clubs. With the support now of two local "Henchmen" (Wyrd supported local Malifaux game organisers), this is only set to get bigger! Make sure you check out the new forum for general Malifaux discussion.



Another company that has had some very successful high quality games on the scene for a while now is Privateer Press. Titles like Warmachine & Hordes, as well as Monsterpocalypse have a decent WA following as well, and with the new Mark 2 rules for Warmachine released this year and Mark 2 rules for Hordes on the way, you can expect to see activity for these games on the rise as well. You can now chat about everything hobby releated for these games in the new Warmachine & Hordes, Monsterpocalypse and General Privateer Press game discussion forums on WestGamer.



Last, but not least, players of the ever popular World War 2 combat game "Flames of War" by Battlefront Miniatures will no doubt be happy to see that they're getting some love on WestGamer with a new forum for general game discussion as well. Sally forth men!

Remember also, that there is still a place to chat about the myriad of other games & hobbies that don't have their own dedicated forum on the site, and that is at the "Other Worlds" section. Drop in and see what's going on with other tabletop gaming, collectable card games, board & Eurogames, PC & console gaming, roleplay, and other wargaming in general in WA.

Enjoy!

World’s End regular Michael Basc joins us this episode as we make a long awaited return to the dark depths of the Necromunda underhive. We talk about how campaigns work in this great specialist game system, as well as some of the more Outlandish denizens that reside in the deadly lower reaches.

Make sure you check out part #1 of our Necromunda game coverage back in episode #17 as well!

The forests of the Old World quake in fear as the Beastmen emerge once again! We have a huge episode for you all this time - Ultimate Warhammer Champion Aaron Thompson joins us for an in-depth review of the new Warhammer Armies: Beastmen book, including tips & strategies for army selections and how to get the most out of the savage herd.

If that wasn’t enough, we also get Trent Denison on the line to chat about how he won the biggest Warhammer Tournament in the history of Australia, and his thoughts on how the new Skaven army are performing on the table. Enjoy!
