So there you have it guys...
After a week where GW put the kibosh on international sales and announced a price hike and a move to resin, we get bombed off YouTube and yet still come on to give you a few hours of television!
Thanks for all the messages of support, we'll keep you posted when we hear any news about our video status.
Otherwise, enjoy TURN8 and we'll (hopefully) see you in two weeks.

Pitchforks at the ready, storming castle GW tonight then?
Or has Darrell taken the defibrillator machine from the old folks home?
Which one?
You don’t actualy think they only have one, have you seen thier prices?!
Certainly going to be very controversial tonight, can see a lot of discussion coming from the recent GW news…pretty big stuff.
Would be great to hear some more about Cutlass! to be honest.
Another price hike, I might as well pull my pants down now and get it over with.
Call me immature, but its nice to hear other people swear at GW besides myself, like a turn 8 group therapy session
Justin,
You forgot to clean the display cases and dust the cabinets.
I’ll say this : I’ve stopped swearing at GW, and started commiserating with the ones who still do… Because it means they’re STILL buying stuff from them. Granted, I still express my disparaging opinion on most of the GW range, with few notable exceptions, but I’ve made the switch YEARS ago to more pleasurable uses of my time and money… Way back when the 4th edition WHFB was the norm ! I don’t know if I’m going to make it to the chat tonight, so I’ll say this right now : There’s a lot of people who bitch and moan,… Read more »
Very nicely put!
I haven’t bought a miniature from them in years… I buy novels, but since the GK release I don’t even buy their rules anymore since they’re freely available online and GW don’t deserve paying for the crap they make.
The reason I continue to swear at GW is they are systematically fucking over everything about the game systems I used to love.
w00t, looking forward to it.
T’is till complete bull’ that as a working class British man, I end up watching your show on the following day because I need sleep, it lags like a zombie when aired live and you had to appease some Americans. Meaning that I miss opt out on prizes and live chat. ‘Cause the pre show chat is far better than that mid show prize grubbing banter of spam.
Hi Guys
Cant see the video it comes up no longer availsble youtube account associated with video has been closed.? will it be on justin tv?
I seem to get a “this you tube account is closed” message when trying to play the vid
???
Is anybody else getting “This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been closed.”? And this is for all the videos posted by BOW here?
Ooopsssy BOW have had their account closed “BeastsOfWar has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of our Community Guidelines.”, YouTube is not happy 🙁
swearing…GW copyright infringment…showing non GW content? 😉 BoW broke da intertubes again
Ohhh F.. F.. Fudge it, now how am I supposed to see all those videos now 🙁
LOL…so many posts at sameish time
That is as odd as it may ever get I never noticed anything that they could be violation, except if GW’s legal department hit a higher level of,,,,,, you know what I would say anyway.
W00t since I’m off work ill today I’ll actually get to tune in with you guys for the show tonight.
Dang nabbit!
Oh! Here’s an idea. Bung up the videos to download direct from your site/hosting? What about a bit torrent of the content (assuming BoW are ok with that?)
All that Darrell knowledge… LOST. How dare they! YouTube are so anal about their stuff. I wonder what did this exactly. Hopefully they’ll talk about it on Turn 8.
i must confess this has been a pretty sh*ty week in the world of wargaming. First GW announces its going to rise its prices (again). Now the best wargaming website there is goes down. What next? 🙁
Didn’t realise it was already passed the witching hour!
Time did speed past on winged feet and all that!
Great effort. And BoWJohn joined in the fun somehow in the studio and chatting online too! 😀
Many thanks to all for an entertaining show with much food for thought
ps Hope the grannies went easy on Darrel

Tell me what y’all think of this.
Speaking of dungeon crawlers, when are we going to see some coverage of SoSuper Dungeon explore?
Can someone please give a link to the WH Quest petition? Have a slow connection ATM and don’t fancy looking for it through the video …
Thanks

I am finished with GW after this international sales ban. It is just the last in a long line of poor decisions. Can’t do it anymore.
All my money goes to Privateer Press now. 🙂
Hear Hear !

I am really saddened by this news and teh affect it will have for gamers in those countries. I had already decided that other games were going to get my attention but I feel this week has just been too much. On top of which the superb sculpt by Raging Heroes of Lamassu has had to be withdrawn due to GW saying it was too similar to their old Chaos Dwarf monster. TBH there are some similar characteristics, but the concepts and test shots were in the public domain. Why wait for the thing to go into production before doing… Read more »
GW is the evil queen of hearts, a fat dictator that decapitates innocents according to her whim. Usually they only enforce IP towards those who do inferior quality work… But Raging Heroes ? Ah, what a shame ! Their 3D casting is awesome ! And all of that because their model somewhat resembles an old discontinued one (only way better !) and possibly one that hasn’t been sculpted yet !
That’s it. This is the last straw. I have nothing to say to GW except : Die, beast, die !

Thank you for another fantastic Turn 8. I was sick today so was in bed and able to catch it live. I really enjoyed being apart of the live chat, I thought it was fantastic. Warhammer Quest was the first fantasy game I ever played and it was awesome seeing some of the old models and board pieces. As far as all the bad news, pretty much everybody has said what needs to be said. I just hope you guys get your YouTube account back online and hope every gamer out there a fantastic week of gaming. It’s not about… Read more »
