The Independent Characters | Warhammer 40k Podcast

The Independent Characters is a fantastic Warhammer 40k podcast hosted by a collection of incredibly pleasant hosts who are very passionate about the game. It focuses on the casual, narrative, and social elements of the game, with a combination of recurring, rotating, and one-off topics. This results in a show that is both highly consistent yet varied and interesting. My favorite segments are Hobby Progress, which is alway inspiring, and Show of Force faction deep dives, which are entertaining and fascinating. Show of Force has single-handedly led me to buy two new armies (Custodes and Drukhari), and was in frequent rotation during the long, repetitive days of my paternity leave. Their intentional avoidance of the competitive aspects of the games, such as tactics and codex reviews, gives the episodes an evergreen quality. They never seem to lose relevance even as the years go by and editions change. All in all I highly recommend it 👍

This one is a can’t miss it! Definitely give it a listen!

Have listened to this podcast for a long time, and was go happy when it was announced that it was coming back. Great topics and guests from the Warhammer the world. Carl and the group are all passionate about the hobby and it shows. Helps keep me motivated and excited to get in some hobby time, specially while listening to the podcast. It’s like hanging out with friends.

Loved the discussion on crusade and the story background of the Crusade book. Made me very excited to try out this format and run a campaign locally.
