Direct Download This week I answer a couple of submitted questions on top of talking about my match vs Todd.

Direct Download Here it is folks! Get into some of my mind (keeping you out of the areas that would drive you to insanity) Pics to follow shortly hopefully.
What a time to be alive, folks. Kassem is recording his own podcasts, discussing lists and strategy for Skorne, and I’m absolutely fascinated to hear how it turns out… but in the meantime, we still have our regular Combo Smite … Continue reading →
Hello my fellow Combo Smiters. I would like to take a moment to inform you all about a mini podcast I am planning to start this month; as you might guess, it has to do with strategy! The format I … Continue reading →
Hey guys! Sorry this podcast is up late: Nick and I were up playing D&D in celebration of Aaron’s birthday until 1am (and then I got to drive home for an hour!), and the editing was blah blah blah excuses … Continue reading →
Sorry folks. Marc lost his paying job on Wednesday (it was a stupid temp-job to pay for my writing expenses, so no great loss, but still a bit of an issue) so no podcast. Nick is back in the country, … Continue reading →
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s finally happened… not only did the new Skorne errata hit… but it looks good. Before we get to the audio, just want to share an awesome image a couple listeners (hi MIke!) in Omaha sent us. … Continue reading →
Privateer Press announced a bunch of new Theme Lists! Huzzah! We spend almost an hour discussing those Themes, and talk a little bit about some New Years Resolutions for WarMachine… Overall, a good, short podcast! Back to Batreps for next … Continue reading →
This week we’re doing another time-warp episode doing analysis on Todd’s tournament results. I really enjoy doing these episodes, and I’m looking forward to doing another batch of them soon (I’m running another tournament in February, and then there’s the … Continue reading →
So a few weeks back we recorded an episode devoted to Darrell’s Menoth tournament pairing. Since then… the world has changed. A lot of time is spent in the first half discussing “Mad Dogs”, a bit of time on Wurmwood, … Continue reading →

More delays this week, so we’re pushing back the next podcast to next week. Sorry for being so inconsistent, but we’re locking down on some great ideas for upcoming episodes, and we’re all still committed to bringing you guys great … Continue reading →
Last week, Todd and Nick played a fantastic Una2 vs Fyanna2 game. Nick feels that this may be one of the better Legion drops into the new Circle hotness, and Todd is just looking for some retribution for how be … Continue reading →
Marc pulled double night shifts this week, and it’s pushed back the recording of the battle report. It’s going to be all about Una2 vs Fyanna2… and I, for one, can’t wait to see what happens! Gonna be awesome! We’re … Continue reading →
Hey, did you guys know we do batreps? We do! Used to be almost all we did… but it’s been a few months (at least), and man, did it feel good to get back into the groove of these things… … Continue reading →
Ah, the last of the Factions is now done. And it was a lot of fun to review! And they do look way better than they used to be. Still somewhat limited in unit selection, but the ones they have … Continue reading →
So what do we think of the new batch of Warlocks? Is Una2 really as good as a lot of people seem to think? Are any of them utter garbage? All this, and more, on this week’s episode of Combo … Continue reading →
Sure, there’s a lot of salt about Skorne these days. But there’s also a lot of good. And Nick, Kassem, and I sit down for 5 hours to talk about all the good in Skorne. Yes, there is at least … Continue reading →
Just a head’s up, no podcast this week as Nick and I gird our loins for discussing Skorne with Kassem for all of you. There will be so many “That’s what she said” comments. You are forewarned.
Hey. You got plenty of water? A few snacks? Perhaps some emergency rations? ‘Cause this one is almost 6 HOURS long. Yeah. We went there. Direct Download Big thank you to Darrell for helping out for the first hour and … Continue reading →
Hey folks! About a week ago, I got an invitation from Ryan from “House of Dice” battle reports to join him for a quick 10 point game that he recorded. He did a fantastic job (it’s only a 15 minute … Continue reading →
And we are done Circle! Four and a half hours of podcasting pleasure for you to peruse when possible! Direct Download
As many of you know, the Combo Smite team is Canadian. Proudly so. That means we celebrate Thanksgiving this weekend (instead of November, like the United States), and that means that both Nick and I are in turkey-induced comas (I … Continue reading →
Phew! A whole lot of Everblight on today’s podcast… 5 hours all about the blighted brethren of the blasted dragon! Direct Download For those of you curious about the Ontario Team Championships we mentioned on this week’s podcast (and will … Continue reading →
Hey folks. Life conspired to keep Nick and I from recording this weekend. We should be recording the Legion Faction review this week, though, so you can all look forward to that! In other news: One of the Team Canadas … Continue reading →
This week we have another set of battle reports for you to check out, fresh off the tournament-circuit… and we recruited the help of one of the Four New Gamers, Rob! Great event, and for a solid cause… good luck … Continue reading →
So, we talked about Convergence for as long as we could… which is about 2 hours. Not bad, not bad… and hey, Convergence is still a lot of fun as a Faction. Listen to us talk all about it! Direct … Continue reading →
Okay, we didn’t REALLY cry that much. And to be completely honest, Cryx is still super-scary and very powerful… don’t believe me? Give this OVER 5 HOUR Faction review a listen, and then tell us all the things we got … Continue reading →
Another battle report podcast!? On a site theoretically devoted to battle report podcasts!? What kind of nonsense is this!? (Big thank you to Greg from Party Foul for the picture!) Direct Download For those of you willing and able to … Continue reading →
Did you guys know that we’re theoretically a Battle Report podcast?! I know, I know… I scarcely believe it myself. And yet, what do we have here? An entire tournament worth of batreps! And a chance for Combo Smite (Nick, … Continue reading →
It’s about time we got around to talking about every single model in Khador. Yes, even that one. Actually, technically we don’t discuss Malakov2 again. We’ve already talked about that dude way more than he deserves. Direct Download So, one … Continue reading →
So last weekend was GenCon, and like many of you out there we were super excited about the new warcasters released at the event (the “grown up” version of the Journeypeople warcasters). Nick and I couldn’t wait to discuss them… … Continue reading →
It’s been so long since I’ve emerged from under the cozy rock of reality that I’ve been living under for the better part of this year. Periodically, I would peer out into the light to catch Marc’s sympathetic gaze nearly … Continue reading →
Who wants over 5 hours of us discussing every model in Mercenaries (and all the Minions that will work for Mercs)? No? Time for you to head elsewhere, pardner. Yes? Do we have a treat for YOU! Direct Download So … Continue reading →
Howdy folks! The Mercenary episode is turning out to be a bit too much to chew out for tomorrow, so we’re going to release it next Monday. Thanks for your patience!
Yet again, Nick and I sat down for 4 hours to discuss a Faction… this time we dragged Darrell and his Menoth loving butt into the ‘cast as well! Got four hours to listen to a sermon all about the … Continue reading →
Sorry for the delay due to my computer/software sucking last week… but your patience has been rewarded! It’s a doozy, folks. Another 5 hours, talking about all the pointy eared genocidal maniacs. ALL of them. For five consecutive hours! Direct … Continue reading →
Hey folks! Good news, bad news… good news is that Nick and I spent 4 hours today recording a complete Retribroken of Scyrah review, just like we did for Cygnar! Yay! Bad news is that my recording software decided that … Continue reading →
So, let me outline my Sunday for you: Wake up at 7:50, crawl to my computer, call Nick and Skype for four hours to record our podcast… And then from 2pm until 7:30, I edited that podcast we recorded! And … Continue reading →
Well, for those of you who missed my announcement earlier, only the first 15 minutes of the new podcast actually recorded. Which is a damn shame, because it really was a great episode! Still! Give a listen to our new … Continue reading →
Okay, so just a quick update: the Combo Smite team is currently trying to absorb the new rules and models and all the joy as quickly as we can (Nick, I believe, is already done, that super-keener, but I’ve only … Continue reading →
Hey gentle listeners and awesome readers! As many of you have doubtless suspected, Combo Smite is going on temporary hiatus until the Mk3 rules hit. We discussed doing more spoiler-casts, or doing a few more Mk2.5 batreps, but the fact … Continue reading →
Combo Smite is busy barbecuing, marshmellowing, and (in proper geek tradition) playing board games all weekend, including today. Tonnes of spoilers to discuss for next week, maybe a game if Nick is feeling up to recording one, and more streaming … Continue reading →
Hello, gentlebeings! Nick, Darrell, and I sat around our respective microphones and recorded another hour of gleeful gushing about the upcoming Mk3… mostly focusing on Retribution (spoiler: Nick is super excited) and Trolls (spoiler: so is Darrell). You can listen … Continue reading →
Let it not be said that we Combo Smite hosts are not here for you, the people! We suffer… we labour… we endure because you, our loyal and awesome listeners, demand it! No podcast this morning (although we’re planning on … Continue reading →
Dear Listeners, Super busy setting up live streaming (with commentary!) stuff with the new MooseMachine Network, so the audio podcast fell by the waysaid. Super sorry about that! Begging forgiveness Love, Marc and the Combo Smite Team
Not-Todd Vs. Not-Darrell So this week Darrell and I had the envious task of trying out the spoiled rules up to this point. Those being: Free focus for ‘Jacks during the control phase, focus when Monstrosities are damaged and not … Continue reading →
Nick, Darrell, Aaron, Kassem, and I headed down to Hamilton, Ontario for the “Southern Ontario Open” again this year! This is probably the best WarMachine tournament any of us have ever attended, and Saturday night after the Masters qualifiers, we … Continue reading →
They announced Mk3 is coming out for Lock and Load! We decided to jump on that bandwagon and talk about the news we have available already! We’re excited! Slightly terrified, but excited! Give it a listen! Let us know what … Continue reading →
Sorry folks, no podcast this week either! Everyone is gearing up for the Southern Ontario Open! Hopefully we’ll get a bunch done soon and “catch up”! Apologies, and hope to see all of you at the SOO!
No Podcast this week as Marc has decide to abandon us to go visit his “Brother” in “Vancouver”. Instead you get to see Darrell and I put minis on the table and throw dice around. Lists: Darrell was playing a … Continue reading →
Hey folks! No podcast today due to the long weekend and all of us here at Combo Smite spending time with friends, family, and fellow gamers! I’m travelling a bit for the next few weekends, so the goal is to … Continue reading →
This battle begins my path into the unknown, as I take control of Nick’s Cephalyx army for a while to satisfy a desire I’ve had ever since this contract was created! I’ve created a few lists I want to try … Continue reading →
So we recorded the 2nd half of our OTC podcast this week, running through the games played by the Combo Smite Team 2 group, captained by Todd! Big thanks to Todd and Darrell for comin’ out to talk shop and … Continue reading →
It’s that time of year again, folks… the Ontario Team Championships have come and gone. Nick and I managed to rope the two hosts of Arcane Assist into helping out with one of our teams this year, and it was … Continue reading →
Time for a bit of a change of pace, folks! Instead of doing a battle report this week, we’d thought it would be informative and useful to talk a bit about the Masters format, and specifically the Active Duty Roster … Continue reading →
This week I am taking on Darrell’s Trollbloods with my Legion. It feels like a really long time since I’ve done a battle report. I hope I remember how to do this. Direct Download Both of us are practising our … Continue reading →

Well, it happened… the newest Errata dropped last week, and boy, was it a doozy. It’s basically all any podcast has been talking about, so we figured we’d add our voice to the chorus! Sadly, Nick wasn’t feeling well, but … Continue reading →
It sometimes surprises people that Legion doesn’t have a tonne of in-house ARM-cracking. A few pieces that do it really remarkably well, granted, but not a huge swath of options. Of those options, pVayl may be the best, so let’s … Continue reading →
I don’t know about all of you, but I often find myself wondering if a really, really good warcaster at the head of a fantastic list can beat a better player leading a worse warcaster with a sub-optimal list. Stay … Continue reading →
Welcome back! Wait, we’re back, you folks have always been here… well, welcome back to us! This week’s podcast is the audio to attend Darrell’s excellent writeup that went live last week, and it was a joy to be recording … Continue reading →

Well, due to a combination of factors (including, but not limited to: pneumonia, Dragon Age: Inquisition, gallstones, Star Wars, and yorkshire pudding… in no particular order) we’re going to have to push back the podcast again. Good news: we now … Continue reading →
https://imgflip.com/i/vqcok Sorry listeners. This weeks’s episode of Combo Smite is delayed. Due to a medical issue (which I’m assuming involved a stabbing at Marc’s family christmas dinner) we were unable to record this week’s episode in a timely manner. We … Continue reading →

While you’re waiting for our momentous podcast 100 to drop enjoy another commentated video battle report. This week between Darrell’s Trolls and Kassem’s Skorne. The battle of the broken theme lists, or in Morghoul’s case, just the battle of the … Continue reading →
Hey guys and gals. This week’s podcast was supposed to be our big 100! The ol’ one-oh-oh! But t’was not to be. Nick got all caught up with the WMW stuff, and Marc was distracted by the horrifying events of … Continue reading →

This week we have another commentated battle Report coming at you. It’s my Retribution Vs. Todd’s Circle. See if Thyron has what it takes to take on one of Circle’s lesser played Warlocks, Baldur1. Onslaught won’t work on Baldur’s feat … Continue reading →

This week I finally get around to editing another commentated Video Batrep. This time it’s my Legion Vs. Darrell’s Menoth. Enjoy!
Were you aware that with “just” Haley3 on the table, your average Cygnar player will require 18 Focus tokens? Sounds like a lot… and, of course that doesn’t include a Journeywoman Warcaster, nor Jakes… but with the right list, eZaal … Continue reading →
I am still loving the hell out of Haley3… she’s just so much fun to put on the table! Meanwhile, Nick has decided to dip his toes into the Mercenary pool again… So, it turns out that the audio for … Continue reading →

Another commentated bat rep for you this week. This time its a match-up between Marc’s swans and Todd’s knife ears.
With the recent change to Haley2, it’s become more critical than ever to consider Cygnar’s list pairing options… which is wonderful, because it opens up a lot of space for warcasters like Kraye! Of course, just because you have opened … Continue reading →
Our podcast is a bit late this week. How about a new Video batrep to make up for it! We haven’t done a commentated batrep in a couple weeks since we were posting tournamemt video instead. So here we present … Continue reading →
Hey folks! Due to a convergence of several factors (including Nick attending his grandfather-in-law’s funeral and the WTC), this week’s podcast has been delayed. My hope is to get it out by Wednesday, with my heartfelt apologies! Hope everyone had … Continue reading →
