Happy Weekend!!!!
It’s the Weekend!!
Bring it on!
@warzan Here I am watching you on my relatively new 49″ 4k tv – it’s so worth it, pick it up Cyber-Monday!
Apart from that I’ve been surprisingly restrained this BF. Limited myself to: some more KD:M expansions on the re-opened pledge manager… and ordered a mid-range air-brush for my next steps… and an FFG game for my son’s Christmas present… Yup – that’s me being restrained

I just picked up a 6″ scale Black Series First Order TOE Fighter, the 25″ tall one, for $50. Now I just need to add an extension to the house so I have a place to sit it.
Egad! TIE Fighter! Well, I guess it would be a toe fighter unless I can find a table big enough to put it on.
Hang on, you may be on to something with this ‘Toe-fighter’ concept. Dogfighting ships that attach to your toes (a formation per foot) and then you lie in bed on your back duelling with your partner. Remember…
1. Wash your feet first
2. Agree safe words in advance
3. Tickling feet is considered poor sportsmanship
4. Play just became more fun!
The biggest problem I see with this is the Scum and Villainy optional rules, i.e. my cats. Waving about some shiny ships at the end of the bed and making “pew pew”noises may attract the interest and subsequent ire of the felis domesticus.
For the space station name, I’d go with Sabazios, who was the Thracian sky god. Though I suspect it would be refereed to as Saba Station once the mercs start to settle in.
My space station will be called “Ká.dingir.ra V” and it’s our last, best hope for peace.
From Monty Python’s The Final Ripoff Introduction…
“The place is Sumeria. The year is..” Hang on, hang on, wait, look, we gotta sort this out. This is background, it’s important material, and it’s new, it’s a totally new link, they won’t understand a word of it, you know, if you fade me out now…
@warzan I’m so crap with money, I’ve got a double health insurance… (I’ts being sorted by my girlfriend though :p )
Great Episode guys.
Space Station Name: Imminent Contact
My space station would be Darkstar 1.
That Galactic set looks really good. It could fit very nicely with a lot of sci fi games.
Nice episode, wanna play necromunda again
My space station name : Irsum 6
Space Station: Elegant Interlude
Happy Weekend everyone 🙂 Az
Space station name Dark Sirius.
Core space looks awsome, got loads of different sci-fi terrain to use, but more wont hurt 🙂
My space station would be called Unbroken. Will do an epic battle where it might be badly damaged, changing name to Broken, with the possibility of becoming Unbroken 2 if being rebuilt.
Has something horrible happened to John’s Tool? He hasn’t whipped it out in a while…
Great episode, love more stuff on core space and definitely thinking of using BS terrain for Necromunda.
I’d call my station The Centurion Osprey
Black Friday weekend. Off to find some deals 🙂
Before you watch it, you can tell by the length of the show whether Warren is on it or not. 🙂
Very true – the Youtube Bar becomes your forecast of the show 😉
space station: Eagle Peak Cartel (Station).
I wonder how many sets of those necromunda bulkheads would you need to replace the core game board walls. I wanted to do something like this for some time but forge world was too expensive and locally we could only get the fantasy versions of clips, but these look excellent.
Absolutely this would be awesome from infinity as would the robot guys from the core game to replace aleph Dakini. And the alien add ons would go great with Prodos stalker aliens.
Space station name: Babylon 7 (you wondering what happened to Babylon 6 heh?)
Space station name: Rylos
Oh and happy weekend
“Provided none of us change size” – according to studies, gamers never increase size as they get older. Nothing can possibly go wrong!
Have a goodun Friday, lads. I have a gig to go to but I’ll catch up on the edited version 🙂
Looks like necromunda stole my idea for box interiors ;p http://www.beastsofwar.com/groups/painting/forum/topic/board-game-box-idea/
Happy Weekend everyone. Interesting seeing the Core Space segment and will be keeping an eye on that one. I agree the artwork while still very nice to look at would have been better served with full colour images that leapt out of the page at you for Necromunda. For a space station name I think Pioneers Port. I never knew deepcut would do custom mats and will be having a look at their site today to have a play. It has really fired my imagination in a different way. I cannot imagine in which direction Warren will go and also… Read more »
@noyjatat – Splendor mat already exists my good man, and it is glorious. Definitely adds to the fondle factor 😛
Az
Ah but what setting would you give yours?
Oooooh Touché! Az
Any custom mat surely has to be called Warren’s warrens.
I think it would be kinda cool @noyjatat to have a mat for Burrows & Badgers – yes, on with that once again haha.
Would be a nice 3×3 one which would look like a nice autumn woodland with paths through the leafy ground, then space assigned for you to pack with trees, farmhouses, ruins etc.
I’d like to ask about the Starfinder competition. Was a winner announced? If not, how long does the contest run?
Space station: Saint Anna Station, Comoran’s Cube
