Going to dust off my Warmachine and Hordes miniatures soon and get them to the table.
Citizens are all miscreants. Ask Judge Dredd…
can’t argue with that…well you can but you’ll end up in the cubes
“It’s a Mr Cryx at the door. He’s come about the reaping.”
@somegeezer
…
Is it about the hedge?
Look, I’m awfully sorry but…
Grim Cryx: I am the Grim Cryx. I am Death.
Geoffrey: Yes well, the thing is, we’ve got some people from America for dinner tonight…
Yay it’s weekender time folk’s 👍😆👍
“Trollbloods Alive”… So says Brian Blessed Trollbloods!
Like the crown in Hellboy II ?
Good timing their talking about a new set of the LotR film’s
So you’ve been to some of Diddys parties then @avernos
Too soon… 🤮
Possibly
Watch its not the husky from the THING ?🤔
A new Nid ?🤔
So are the German’s fight alies or are they all turned against the Soviets ?
Fantastic looking new terrain
Getting a ghost army vibe from the warmachine figures
They look a bit like the C&C tiberiun troops Or space gorillas ?
Who said go fcuk your self ? 🤔
District 9 🤔
FUN film! Prawns!
its nice to see trench crusades is finally on Kickstarter
It looks good, won’t do the KS.
Good to see Warren back doing what he does best…telling Justin what to do.
Great show guy’s 👍
Nifty!
Genuinely surprising though that it’s taken this long to get HIPs minis of this quality for WarmaHordes…
A good show for fun and profit.. ok.. maybe just the fun. It was good to see all the weird and demented minis out there and get an idea of things to come. I am,however, interested in the armored gents as their kit seems to have been inspired by the Japanese film “The Red Spectacles” and the Kerboros Saga
How to beat the change of blades for cutting @dignity. Go with a Fiskars rotary cutter and go alongside a straight edge.
Nice to see Warmachine getting a refresh. Been interested for a long time so this may be the opportunity to finally jump on.
Never played warmachine. Don’t know anyone who has. Where does it fit in with the abundance of games around today
I think it’s one for the mecha meets steampunk crowd. I picked up some of the minis to paint years ago but the games not my cup of tea. There was (probably still is) an ultra-competitive fan base that favour function over form to the extent that it’s not worth while building terrain you’re better drawing it on the table so you can get the exact measurements.
I’ve got a few cryx models in my undead minis drawer, maybe the air of competitiveness is what’s kept me at arms length
I like the warmachine models. Not so much the warjacks and warcasters, but the rank and file and warbeasts. Circle is my favoured faction, but I like Cryx too and have Cygnar army.
And I like the setting fluff. It’s is more interesting than anything GW do in my opinion.
I guess I should drop the keyphrase brain blesseds troll bloods, I’ll let fate decide if I will ever play warmachine
Happy halloween
I’m late, I’m late!
Was in bed early last night.
What did I miss?
Have I won yet?
Brian Blessed’s Troll Bloods of course need a mention
