Weekender: X-Wing Wave 7 & Delving Into Undercity Board Game
May 9, 2015 by lloyd
It's time to get stuck into another weeks worth of tabletop gaming with The Weekender where we kick things off by delving deep into the Undercity from Privateer Press...
Undercity Adventure Board Game
This is a fantastic looking new board game coming out of Privateer Press for their Iron Kingdoms range and while it isn't a role-playing game it has loads of awesome mechanics that drive your characters through a campaign like narrative where they grow and develop.
It's also incredibly brutal and combat focused - but what else would you expect from Privateer Press?
X-Wing Wave 7
Of course we couldn't miss out on the new Wave 7 Ships for Star Wars: X-Wing by Fantasy Flight Games either. There are four new smaller ships for the game added to the three different factions you can play.
We also take a look at the impressively huge Imperial Raider and more that just make you gawp when you see them.
Suicide Squad & New Batman Models
Movie news also bought us word that the Suicide Squad had been completely cast now and alongside seeing a new cast picture we also have a whole new range of Batman Miniatures Game miniatures from Knight Models too!
Home Raiding!
Last but not least the amazingly charming and fun Home Raiders is live on Kickstarter today so make sure to go and check it out!
What has caught your eye from this week in wargaming?

Happy Saturday! 😀
Happy Saturday everyone!
Corvis is the main setting for the Witchfire Trilogy, which is one of the classic pieces of work put out by Privateer Press for the Iron Kingdoms back when they were putting out d20 books.
I just backed Home Raiders.
The Joker won’t have the tattoos in the movie. They were just for the promotional image.
That’s a pity I liked that touch 🙂
For those thinking about joining backstage I’d say just go for it the guys bring all aspect of the hobby undergone one roof and inject it with genuine gamer enthusiasm that keeps you smiling.
Looking forward to XLBS on Sunday as BoW are now an essential part of my weekend!
Oh yes, I been on board for a long time – I think it where during the first call out way back when. .. But it includes so much more now, not that I regret being in it for the long haul
Great show as always
Another good show guys. I seem to agree with your comments on the joker. Looks like a spoiled child in the picture I guess.
X-Wing – looking forward to the Imperial Raider. Great show folks!
+1 for the Backstager
The additional videos and vlogs are worth it alone
Damn you BoW – over the last 24 hours you cost me 200£ and that is not counting the flight and extras in June 🙂
Infinity Bootcamp and Home Raiders, and I love it 🙂
Good to see Llyod in the hot seat! Happy Sat!
Great show boys! Love the X-Wing coverage. More of the same please. Oh @Llyodd try a phantom. Whisper with advance cloak will eat the rebels alive!
Nice one -Raiders have smashed SG#1 already so Egyptian Penguin Lords of Dust inbound on SG#2 shortly…
#sorrynotmyjoker
Undercity is really looking good, will definitely be picking up a copy. I like wave 7, I know there are a lot of grumblings about some of the ships and the expanded universe but I think they are cool.
As for suicide squad one for DVD I feel
What caught my eye this week : http://www.beastsofwar.com/groups/historical-games/forum/topic/playtesting-new-home-game-aces-high/ @oriskany at it again with a new game
“Doesn’t look heroe enough” because they are not heroes?
Extra Munitions is much better than you described by the way: It takes up a Torpedo slot, but then gives an extra shot to EVERY other Torpedo, Missile and Bomb card that you’ve equipped, rather than only applying to a single card. Taking a fully loaded Punisher as an example, those 2 points could be giving you 5 extra shots 🙂
Aww, the WW 2.5 game is down. 🙁
Star Wars ships look amazing though
It’s cool, WW 2.5 was hardly bolted to the building, I’m sure. Hey, maybe someone took it off the shelf to play it. 🙂
The Star Wars ships indeed look great. I wish we could get some “confirmed” opponents before we make that kind of $$$ investment, though
Nice to see X-Wing making a bigger appearance on the show. Some battle reports would great if you can manage to cram them into your already crowded schedule. I was particularly interested to hear Lloyd say that he preferred to have a focus (usually provided by a bigger ship) in the game otherwise it was just a cloud of fighters shooting at each other. While this is fun enough for a while I absolutely agree. In our case we quickly found ourselves devising narrative scenarios to add some depth. Interestingly enough this has become quite a thing with Fantasy Flight… Read more »
Woot thank god its the Weekend!!!
Any chance of a marvels miniatures game?
Waiting a whole year for a massive ship? That could get uncomfortable for the Imperial players 😉
I love Weekenders : D
..but this one was so boring. Poor choice of topics ?
Kinda agree. I miss Warren.
I respectfully disagree. For an X-WIng player like myself, it was a very interesting show.
Another great Weekender!!!!!!!
