Howdy D6G Fans,
We had a bit of a SNAFU in Episode 42 and originally forgot to include the Space Hulk results in the show!
We've corrected this issue and uploaded a corrected version of Episode 42. The new version was published late on Oct. 27th, 2009.
If you downloaded episode 42 on 10/28/2009 or later, you've got the corrected version of the epsiode.
If you downloaded the show on 10/27 or earlier, simply re-download the episode. The correct Episode 42 should have a running time of 3:35 minutes. The Space Hulk results are near the end of the show just after the 3 hr 6 min mark.
Sorry about all that folks.
Thanks for listening,
The D6G Team
Episode 42: The answer show! How do you run a figure painting business? Who won our Space Hulk prize? And just how does Warhammer Invasion work?
The D6G Team has a very interesting chat with Navin of PaintedFigs.com We learn the challenges of running your own business in Sri Lanke.
Later Hollywood leads us through the mechanics and gameplay of Warhammer: Invasion.
All that and our usual 'not too horrible' humor, with features such as:

Just a quick audio reminder for subscribers that Ep. 42 has been delayed a week. Oh, and there's a little teaser in here about a segment change as well.

Later the guys get into a deep review of the new Rogue Trader book from Fantasy Flight Games. So what is so inovative about this new RPG anyway?
