Which team draft setup do you prefer?
I thoight I was jealous during Gencon… Loving the setting!
What an amazing location. Snails definitely not a vegetable so Justin should love them. For a real challenge try some andouillette. Use the mustard.
Go go go Bright Crusaders !!!
I cannot wait for MB:P to arrive and I want to thank the Mythic Battle Team for weekly Wednesday updates that make waiting that much harder!
Also, happy to climb aboard the Joan of Arc train as well.
Having had the wonderful opportunity when I was in college to have spent time in southern France, I must say that I an truly jealous. The locations there are beautiful and rich with history.
This looks amazing, from the setting to people to the game involved. This is my idea off gaming, fun, relaxing and amazing models to boot
Well done Mythic!!
Good going Justin 😀
Wonder what those other painted miniatures are that are on display with Atlas . Anyone know ?
Great coverage guys. And a great event by Mythic.
Love it.
