The Weekender: What Does The End Times Mean For Warhammer?
October 11, 2014 by lloyd
Loads of awesome things to talk about this weekend including the upcoming Infinity & Myth weeks that are going to be packed full of awesome content on both games!
As well as the themed weeks Ben will be at Warhammer Fest on Saturday & Sunday taking pictures and then uploading them to show off whether or not the new venue and style of event works!
Continuing the theme of Warhammer we'll also be chatting about the new Blightking miniatures for Chaos that leaked and how The End Times will shape the future of Fantasy.
A chock-a-block episode!

Good episode guys. That tank looks cool. I can see it going ork very well.
The X-Wing was the highlight. As for Warhammer: The End Times, it sounds like a plague of hemorrhoids.
Great show, can’t wait to see whats going on with the X-Wing tomorrow morning… Love that tank well… Have a fab day one and all!!
Great show guys, good start to my day! Think you forgot to mention the competition winners that Warren mentioned at the start though 😀
OOPS!!!! I think your right lol
I’ll fix that next week 🙂 Sorry I think we got carried away!
At least that gives me another week of thinking I might win or not knowing that I didn’t win at least 😀
Ainsty Castings do a range of subway terrain which always reminds me of AAWiL.
Another great episode
The Warhammer setting used to have its tongue firmly stuck in its cheek and was filled with humour. In particular check out the 1st ed Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay stuff for lots of examples of it. That said, it wasn’t in any way cartoony. I understand why Lloyd would think there’s a dichotomy there, but there wasn’t. The setting was very low fantasy and grimy. Nurgle was about as disgusting as product aimed at kids could be. I do think the art direction has gone in a very bland and cartoony direction. As an aside on Blood Bowl, it isn’t officially… Read more »
Does that mean the two commentators from Blood Bowl don’t exist either? Damn! I really wanted to kill those two on a battlefield some day lol
Forgot the RRP Stars popping up at the end of the army painter advert sorry segment. 😉
Those dice do need charging 😉
Whatever you do, when charging those dice, don’t cross the beams!
I’ve never been a big fan of Warhammer Fantasy, but listening to you guys talk about the fluff has sort of sparked my interest. Lots of googling to do now 😀 Great show.
For Sam – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf5HCdvz6u0
Great show guys.Anymore news on your 40k campaign as haven’t heard anything for a bit.
We’re just getting some other stuff out of the way first 🙂
what a cool little tank
Looking forward to you guys doing a Warzone week 🙂
Someone please tell Sam that Zombies and vampires aren’t real! No need to be terrified, sleep safe. 😉
How do you know they’re not real? Have you ever seen one? Huh, have you? If you haven’t seen one how do you know they’re not real? I bet you’re not even real, you’re just an agent of the zombies come to lure us into a false sense of security and then BOOM!
You got me! Be afraid, be very afraid! Mwah
Zombies are easy to see. Check out YouTube for videos people posted of raves and techno dance clubs back in the ’90’s and you’ll see plenty of zombies (some would call them “bombed out of their gourd on x” but is that the truth….)
As for Vampires have you met a lawyer working at major law firm, at least in the US? Or an investment banker? Easy to leave a liter or two shier after that encounter 🙂
Hi guys, AAWIL definitely scared the c**p out of me when I was young, it wasn’t helped by a moonlit stroll across dartmoor one misty night, a sheep coughed (they sound other-worldly human when they cough) and I did a Linford Christie back to my accommodation. Liking the tank and agree with @nsogre they will ork up pretty good!
Nice episode. Ramshackle makes good inexpensive gaming models. Strange to think that GW would alter the WFB fluff so much.
I was quite surprised at my reaction to those new Nurgle models, which was something that I don’t think that I’ve experienced from a GW miniature before…
Which was… absolutely nothing.
I’m used to having some sort of view (one way or another), but “nothing”?
They really do just look like the conversions that I used to do back in the old Realms of Chaos days. I don’t know, maybe I’ve just been spending too much time looking at Corvus Belli photos over the past few weeks.
Nagash defeats the Tomb Kings and kills Apophas when the assassin tries to kill him and fails. Khalida bends the knee and Nagash takes his army north to wage war with Chaos, but Settra has survived and someone else is invested in helping him.
Anyway that tank would really look good in a friend of mine collection. 🙂
OK Thanks for the correction, sorry like I said it’s been a while since I read it, I was borrowing a friend’s copy.
Great stuff guys – can’t help but think the Ramshackle Tank would look great ‘Orkified’
The ramshackle tank is slowly growing on me.
Massive episode and only a few minutes of Mantic love… 🙁 When is Warpath week lol
I’m here for the tank, but I’ve got to say that mantic makes awesome minis if you need a horde fast, and the new zombie bitz look excellent.
I have just gotten back into wargaming after a 14 year hiatus and have found your website and show and love it. With that tank and how solid it look you really could crush your enemies and drive them before you. Once again great show I’m one hooked Aussie wargammer
Hey thulmann welcome back to wargaming and to Beasts of War.
Loving the tank, can’t wait to color it blue..
Great start to a saturday… first 30 mins consists of three men and a cup (or two) talking about all sorts of s#!t including vamoires, werewolves and banshees… with an occasional mention of games along the way.
I’m rather pleased with the End of Times minis and books. I think GW has to focus on its best armies for Warhammer Battle and that may mean merging or eliminating one or two. Kill the idols and introduce new heroes!
