Video Sponsors: Mercs - Battle Foam
Hey guys and welcome to another Weekender! This time around we have actually got a hold of the new Lizardmen models and we are having a look at them (I for one really do quite like these new Warhammer Fantasy models - BoW Ben)! As well as that you might have noticed we have some different jungle fighting coming in the shape of 'Nam Week.
The Journeyman League is also in full swing and with the Warmachine one coming to an end soon they are moving onto Dystopian Wars very soon!
On top of that there's masses of news about Firefly: The Board Game, those gorgeous Infinity Bootleg miniatures and plenty more too. Don't forget to check out the links below for a snap shot of this weeks content.
Just a quick sorry as one of the mics wasn't too happy during recording!

james nesbitt would make a good doctor and hes a ulsterman but i get the feeling they want a younger actor the doctor seem to be slowly getting younger and younger
Guys if you think the T-54 is a bad boy, you have got to check out the Centurion Mark 5 these rock, seriously “the daddy tank”.
Hope you are going to the ANZAC troops in the Nam week?
Really looking forward to the coverage.
Like the Helicopters for FOW:Nam.
Cool on the starter league for Dystopian wars, we’re doing one in our local group as well. Good way to get people playing.
Great show as usual guys!
Really looking forward to Vietnam week.
Warhammer show sounds awesome and nam week sounds ace.
aye the Centurion was the best tank in the world for a long time The Israeli version of the Centurion earned its legendary status during the Battle of “The Valley of Tears” on the Golan Heights in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Less than 100 Centurion tanks of the 7th Armoured Brigade defeated the advance of some 500 Syrian T-55s and T-62s. also they did Nuclear tests on it It was placed less than 500 yards (460 m) from the 9.1kt blast and remarkably the tank could still be driven from the site warhammer stuff might be fun just might… Read more »
well buddy don’t forget the German Tanks: in my oppinion shared by some tankdrivers i know, the best tank is the Leopard 2 Tank built in the 80s and still in duty. And this is why i think he is the best tank: he is built modular so you can change some modules and the Leopard is up to date again. btw the abrams use the gun and the fire controll system from the leopard 😉 well some weeks ago i had a chat with an old centurion tanker and he said that the centurion had some serious problems with… Read more »
Not only did the Centurion survive the nuclear bomb (it’s engine only stopped because it ran out of fuel) it went on to serve in the Australian Army for another 23 years, including service in Vietnam. It was nicknamed “Atomic Tank” 🙂 The Leopard 2 is a pretty amazing tank, but given the context in which each tank was deployed, I think the Centurion is superior. It was developed during WWII, and it’s still in service today in some pretty hairy places!
love the warhammer idea
topless transfers? cool
‘what would get me back into warhammer’? A price decrease, an updated model of nagash, and for the love of god an updated wood elves book
The Age of Legends series is (in my mind) better than the Horus Heresy. I LOVE the Warhammer Fantasy background and I have read through all of the Sundering books, all of the Nagash ones and starting into Great Betrayal too. It’s such a rich history!
They kind of ruined the story by stopping the Storm of Chaos BUT there is SO much to explore. This series needs to happen.
My mighty Dwarf army will write a grudge against you both if you do not enact this plan!
….oh and as I mentioned in the blurb above, the Lizardmen models look AWESOME!
@warzan I think the warhammer lore show is a great idea, how about getting the warhammer 8th ed week rules coverage back up on Reruns? This would help a lot of people who are like myself trying to get into fantasy from 40k
Nice one, Zak 🙂
I liked the Slann back in the day but the re-booted 5th ed Lizardmen and everything since have done nothing for me. As for my interest in the Warhammer background, as the previous sentence might indicate, anything post-1991 holds very little interest for me.
Cheers Ben!!
Warren, Dave, have a look at the below film of the US department of defense. It is a promo-film for the airmobile division that was deployed in 1965 to central Vietnam.

I like the idea of a warhammer potted history.
I haven’t really played it since 6th/7th edition transition to be honest, but the world of warhammer always seemed far more alive than that of 40K to me. I’ve been endlessly toying with the idea of a new empire army, mainly because i love the perry war of the roses boxsets and thats what I would use them for, but the game as it stands now seems to have lost its way, I hope the next edition (9 I think?) turns out to be a bit of a reboot.
barney the dinosaur with a spear, yea I can go for that
as usual a nice relaxing vid for a Saturday afternoon
Ill be digging out my Nam films in anticipation.
Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket,Platoon, Hamburger Hill, Good Morning Vietnam, etc.
(IMO the ‘Wonderful World’ section of Good morning Vietnam sums up the Nam war quite well….)
IMO, it is good to show the deep and well developed history of the Warhammer World.
GW have over 30 years developing their game worlds.
I really enjoy these weekend shows and congrats to all the winners.
Its cool to hear your going to do Dystopian Wars coverage I have been interested in it for awhile, tho I would really like to see something on Dystopian Legions aswell. The models look awesome but I haven’t seen much about it.
@barretem30 We did film a demo game ages ago, here are the links of you want to check them out.

another cracking weekender! Vietnam week is looking more n more intriguing by the minute n the warhammer history idea sounds good too – have to admit I have at times spent far more time than I should on site like lexicanum and in reading the books, some awesome off-shoots too. sounds great, sign me up!
Lovely weekender. Love your stuff
Great weekender as usual warren and stu crack me up 🙂 just wish Dave could get a word in :), you should have certain people start different topics in the running order just to mix it up abit ? Just an opinion ! Not that I don’t like the banter between stu and warren I just feel that the other presenter’s namely justine and Dave are abit redundant ! Apart from justine clicking his fingers 🙂
I would love to see other theaters of war from the 1960’s such as Malay or central Africa
i loved stu face at the image of the naked lady on the transfer sheet!
Can’t wait for NAM:WEEK
