Ranking the Best 40K Podcasts

As a Warhammer 40k player, I am totally excited about the recent growth in the number of 40K-themed podcasts. While most are simply terrible, there is a handful of shows out there that I enjoy. I've found that listening to these shows can be a great way to keep myself entertained through long painting sessions or even just commuting to work. If anything, it's interesting to listen to the different opinions and ideas that other people have about the hobby.

Here's a quick rundown of my top 6 Warhammer 40k podcasts:

#1. The Independent Characters
These new kids on the block have a very infectious enthusiasm for the 40k hobby.

#2. 40K Basement
A funny group of hardcore gamers. Their "gay-innuendo" sense of humor seems eerily familiar.

#3. The 11th Company
Just a solid show that is heavily focused on the strategy aspect the game.

#4. Imperial Vox Cast
This San Diego based podcast does a good job of covering the west coast 40k scene.

#5. Gamers Lounge
I like that this show encourages more fluffy or themed gameplay as opposed to the win-at-all-costs tournament mentality. They also have a lot of discussion about the 40K blogging scene.

#6. Dice Like Thunder
At times these guys can be good and other times they can be overly cynical.

Well there you go. Give these podcasts a try. They can be a good source of inspiration for your own hobbying experience.
