@onlyonepinman WOOOO!!! Awesome to hear one of the regulars being on here! I want to see those on what are you painting now!!!
@Lloyd Is the Canadian show you’re thinking of Republic of Doyle? Takes place in St John’s, Newfoundland. Newfoundlanders do have a very unique accent! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Doyle
That’s the very one.
Sorry I got a bit excited hearing the name of one of our people. So, what I really like about the Mythos stuff is how excited they are about game play and the miniatures themselves. Often I hear people prattle on about the Lovecraft mythos or some version of it, and the thing is I think most people get why people like it. However, that isn’t why they are there they are there for the game itself. And it is good to see people who are actually excited more by the game than just the fluff around it especially if… Read more »
Loved the look of Mythos.
Great coverage of what looks to be a great game.
One person to check out at Salute is Bad Squido Games aka The Dice Bag Lady. She is launching a range of WW2 Soviets female soldiers and has plans to release more female soldiers who fought in WW2.
Ugh!!! Why do they always make the show so awesome to watch!!! It’s 2 a.m. but Imma gonna watch.
Do you have a problem if you would like to have all (and I mean ALL) minis? Haha. Good weekend. Thanks for showing us Mythos.
Mythos looks awesome, so much depth of story and the game play sounds sweet.
I really enjoy the guest features – maybe when there are no weekenders you could package a couple of previously aired ones up as a “Best of War” so we can still get our weekend BOW fix – the weekend isn’t the same without them!
I’m really impressed with the Rail Raiders KS. I know the Chibi style isn’t for everyone, but it does look a lot of fun and for $50 you do get a hell of a lot for your money.
interesting mini
yay its the weekend at last
I’ve said it many times but the guys at Twisted have produced an amazing series of minis, I backed the KS (even though I swore I’d stop buying stuff on there) because the sculpts were just so damn good. I can’t wait to see them in the flesh
I like the look of the Mythos stuff, I’m thinking I’ll be getting my hands on it once it’s out. The Sea Queen is a nice looking model would be a great way to start 😉
I wish you a wonderful weekend. Thank you again for a great show and I must admit: always wanted to abduct a queen and now I finally get a chance! 🙂 Would love to come to the UK for Salute but miss the time to do so 🙁 But all of you going there: have a ton of fun.

Happy weekend
Will be at salute on sat for sure….may even make the Friday meet up.
Are we all going to whelp on warzan all night…no tattoo on his face leaves loads we CAN do,the mind boggles.
Hand cuffs , shaving cream and a blow up goat could be in the mix? Oh Justin said he had goat sorted my bad.
no no its ok if you want to bring a goat for warren that’s fine, the one I’m bringing is for the initiation of new backstagers,soling as i can find one 😉
Really looking forward to Salute. 4 ground is a definite for me to check out, along with all the terrain in general. Planning to check out osprey and frostgrave as I’ve heard so much good stuff. Can’t wait.
Good morning! Well, all I can say about the Star Trek boardgame is that MY BODY IS READY! I already own TI3 and Eclipse but there is always room for one more sci-fi board game ;P
happy Saturday you must go and see Spectre Miniatures, Warlord and Evil Bear Wargames.
I would love to paint that mini 🙂
That’s a great looking miniature.
