TURN 8 Tonight… With New Beastie Awards… Part 1
December 15, 2011 by beerogre
That's right guys... tonight on the TURN 8 Xmas Special we gave out our fantastic Beastie Awards 2011!
Our Beasties are our unique, hand sculpted trophies in the catagories of...
- Coolest Innovation of the Year Award
- The One to Watch Award
- The Tip-Top Quality Award
- The Wink-Wink... Nudge... Nudge Award (for bits that in no way infringe on anyone's IP)
- The Award for Epic Win of the Year... and the dreaded Epic Fail of the Year!
This isn't be one of those drab yearly internet awards where you get badges or any of that malarkey... these are proper awards to put on your shelf!
Remember you can tweet us @beastsofwar but remember to include the #beastsofwar tag when contacting us.
I hope you enjoyed our show... Merry Xmas and well see you live again in the New Year!
AHEM!
Was it not I who gave you the initial idea ina PM. You said you’d get abck to me yet you never did. Now you use the idea.
Please clarify @Warzan and @beerogre
But anyway hope it all goes well.
(no doubt I will get thumbed down :/, and that last comment WASN’T sarcastic btw!)
@detonator … Nope… we’ve been planning awards all along. I didn’t reply because I didn’t want to spoil the surprise!
Have +5 karma for guessing our plan! 😀
@beerogre
Fair enough dude. Umm, if warren gets that PM perhaps… you could use some of the ideas next year? I just thought it would involve all fo us a bit more if we got to vote for our favourite member and Bow Team member. Oh and highest posts (ofc we don’t get to vote).
But hey dude s’all ok. 😀 haha
*ofc we don’t get to vote for highest posts
Where is the biggest cheese award? A mini Darrell statue with cheese headwear and fasionable nappy
Awarded to most cheesy thing in gaming (darrell excluded)
Whoohoo 😀
Are you having any celebs to give out the rewards?
Those x factor lot seem to turn up for the opening of an envelope, and you could probably get any of them but the winners for a kit kat and a pint.
You need four kit kats for the winners.
Ring up Dermot lol 😉
Actualy I wonder about prizes.
I(‘m worried now I’ve given someone ideas.
If Darrell appears in Janet Devlin fancy dress I may have to gouge my own eyes out.
is there any chance if you are having any compos that you have the question during the show but the winners announced a week later? that way those of us who either cant stay up that late because of work/school or those from another time zone still have a chance?
either way im sure the show will be great when i watch it on catch up
We need the “Team Unicorn” girls on the show 😀

Darrel won’t allow it- he has to be the prettiest on the show.
Bugger – thought the xmas show was next week. I’m out tonight… I’ll catch it tomorrow.
Break a leg 🙂
Now hold on one moment. When did I give you permission to use my face for this award?
Well, I’ll try to watch and tweet (I’m a new twit…erer;)), but may be out making our own videos. Either way, I’ll see it soon enough. Love Turn 8, and love how they’re… shall we say, unpredictable….?
PS Keep knappies on Darell this time, ‘kay? :p
As long as he keeps between the knees and waist covered we should just be thankful…
So like, did you guys announced the Heavy Gear NuCoal winner?
i seem to be missed it
Yeah, I missed it too… got in for the last half hour.
Ah. got it in the replay. Congrats to HANDSOMETONY!
Traktor….mules…
*dies,at last!*
As long as public opinion doesn’t sway the release of Dreadfleet into Epic Fail of the Year, I’ll be ok with it… :shifty:
When will you announce winners of teh MWG/BOW concept Art competition?
Yay for turn 8. I’m hoping to see all the festive miniatures this year like the ones from Sciber Miniatures and the St Nick from Tor Gaming. Like!
Thank you, thank you for the colour theory coverage your going to do.
Also don’t call your game by its acronym C.O.C.K. !
@beerogre When you mentioned your Death Cult Assassin’s it reminded me of RumpleMasterPainting’s youtube channel that I found yesterday, where this guy has done some awesome conversions of the recent plastic Dark Eldar and Grey Knights weapons as Death Cult Assassins that you have to check out, they’re excellent. Check them out here http://www.youtube.com/user/RumplemasterPainting#p/u.
I know this will not be popular
But that guy that runs blood of kittens blog has nailed quite a few trends concerning the hobby and activity around it…
Even though He comes off harsh at times he does nail it on occasion.
Examples Spencer and 40k radio hitting bottom and the releases concerning 40k
Just hear him out I always read his stuff.
Good point about friendly gaming stores. I don’t play in my local Games Workshop anymore as it is just hard sell in there. This hobby is a lifestyle product to me and as soon as someone pushes a hard sell I vote with my feet and buy online and play with friends in the home.
