Happy Weekend!!
Happy weekend!
Unfortunatly, have to go to bed before viewing, it’s 12H35AM here!
Cya later on 😉
It’s the Weekend!!
A weekend where, not being particularly into either the Royal Wedding ( except to see the Lifeguards for family legacy reasons) or the FA Cup I need some hobby distraction… No the weeds in the garden are a chore, not a hobby… I need Hobby time!!
Congrats to the winners.
Wow! Amazing. Industrial Sector Terrain and I’m just diving into necromunda.
Thank you so much for the prize!
The more new releases I see for Age of Sigmar, the more I want to give it a go.
I’ve won. *Does the dance of joy*
forget going solo mate this calls for a group effort, i vote for night fever.
Aragorn was 87 if I remember right.
correct, he was 210 when he died and was king for 122 years
That’s nothing in Elvish scales… Must be something in the water in Middle Earth!
Best WWE mini has to be the Apache Kid.
@dignity & @dracs – Kevin Costner starred & directed Wyatt Earp, Kurt Russell was in Tombstone (with a superb Val Kilmer/ Michael Biehn combo as Doc Holliday / Johnny Ringo). Both came out within a matter of months of each other so easy to get them confused 🙂
Cool on the win, guess I can’t wait for the Incan Empire starter set! 🙂
Thanks BOW!
Holy mother of Corm i win something !!!!! *Jammie Dance*
Best WWE figure has to be Jesse James….
When you scan the prize winners and don’t see your name… sad times 🙁 congrats to all the winners some great prizes there.
Happy Weekender everyone.
Congrats to all the winners.
I hope all of you who are, like me, trying to hide away from wedding hysteria have a great day!
didn’t even know there was a wedding on until i spoke to my mum this morning, If she hadn’t of phoned it would have genuinely past me by.
We put an ocean between us and weddings like that. It’s almost enough. 😉 😉 😛
Congrats to the winners. Some familiar names in there. You all get a bonus prize of my envy.
As for my fave WWX minis, they have to be the K9 Attack Dogs. I’m such a sucker for dog miniatures!
Cheers for covering “Legends of Signum” in the Kickstarter section. However, the project has been paused due to an IP infringement claim ……. You can follow developments on https://www.facebook.com/signumgame/
Great show again !!
Abe Lincoln all the way on WildWest, the Legendar and normal miniatures. Such a great character and cool mini!
Just sat down today with some friends talking about getting into/back into Flames of War. Get home to watch the Weekender and find out I have won the Battlefront prize from Salute. It’s a message, Thanks guys. The coverage was great and the prize is really appreciated.
Enjoy mate, let us know how your games go 🙂
I will. I became a backstager last month because I appreciate the quality of your coverage of the gaming industry. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us in the future. Keep up the great work.
Has to be Raider Trailblazers. When one mini-gun is just no enough.
Roberto Cirillo one of the best designers GW ever had, quite good in industrial visualisation too.
Famous for creating the concept art for the best battle-suits we never saw, because GW never managed to appreciate a treasure in their hands (instead they still use the same models from back then) what a waste of amazing conceptual artwork.
His work as a freelancer ever since is a testament to his skill, Warcradle made a strategic acquisition by securing him, good luck on your work onward, hope we see you work again on the sci fi field someday in the future.
@psychoticstorm – I’d be very interested to learn more about these battle-suits you’re talking about… What were they? Who were they for? What happened to them? Are there any pictures anywhere?
My choice of a single Wild West Exodus mini would be Marie Laveau. New Orleans in the late 1800’s was an interesting place to be sure, and the Marie Laveau mini captures that along with the steampunk side of Wild West Exodus.
Ah, but normal or Legendary 😉
@dracs: didn’t we establish in a previous Weekender that you’re *Count* Drac O’la? 😉 As nice as it’d be to have a dedicated caretaker for the table I don’t have room for a new table let alone room for a Justin; good thing I won’t be entering the raffle then. 😛 Of course Sam loves his ghosts, as I said above, he’s the Count. ;p Undead Skaven are cool; didn’t notice that before, it’s a nice touch. There should be more non-humans in the ranks of the undead. On Aragorn: he was 87 in the books (in fact iirc he… Read more »
Great job as always.
Favorite WWE figure: Alcon the Sky Spirit
-Such a great pose.
