Battle Foam Competition
We've got a great competition for you to begin with as we have a chance for you to win a P.A.C.K Mini from Battle Foam.
Watch out for the interview later in the show with Jemma from Battle Foam and comment below on Beasts of War to be in with a chance of winning.
Many Meet Mat
With the GameMat.Eu competition running currently where you could be in with the chance of winning one of their awesome Necromunda-style Mats (HERE) we thought we'd check out more from these guys.
So, we headed out to the hobby hall and got a look at some of their terrain, the mats and talked about what we'd use them for in our games.
You can find their Medieval Castle Set HERE.

Gangs Of Rome
One of the biggest previews from this week came with a look at Gangs Of Rome from Footsore Miniatures. As well as getting a nice look at some of the characters we also saw the amazing terrain by Sarissa Precision too!
Gerry has been in the studio with us walking us through what we know so far about the game, some of its unique mechanics, and we try and persuade Lloyd to build Rome...in a day.
Check out Gerry's Cobblestone Base tutorial...
You can check out their Facebook Giveaway and also our story HERE to see more on this range. We're kinda excited about it!
Battle Foam Interview
Az sits down with Jemma to discuss the Battle Foam range, what's new, and the partnerships with both gaming events and companies that has grown the range over the years.
Remember, you can win a P.A.C.K Mini so get commenting for a chance to snap that up.

Lloyd and his castle. BoW’s very own Magnus Pike
Anybody get their Mythic Battles: Pantheon kickstarter yet? If so, what do you think?
yup very nice
got mine a week ago
http://www.beastsofwar.com/groups/painting/forum/topic/unexpected-delivery/
Got mine on Thursday, none of the big expansions or the storage box. But there is a note that it will follow later.
Everything looks nice, I am missing one activation card for Hector, I have three but he is marked with four. So check your boxes if nothing is missing.
Yep I received my core box last week and it is amazing! Now just waiting for all of my stretch goals from the God Pledge 🙂
You might have sold me on this Rome thing. I almost sold when Footsore said they would be doing a Lurkio figure
I don’t have time for this I’ve got 2mm Napoleonics to look at and buy. But I suppose as you asked nicely

Irregular do quite a lot of generic stuff that would fit any period
@Lloyd there you go. Know your audience 🙂
I was the audience?. I’m sure there was bound to be at least one other person watching
Nah mate. Sure I was on camera this week. That accounts for the pair of us
wow that was fast 🙂
The Bladerunner stuff is excellent but could they gave done it just using foam?. I bet no one could build an inner city Rome table just out foam
Hint, hint, Lloyd!
Lloyd! JUST DO IT! Rebuild Rome and your fans (minions) will love you! ‘Emperor Lloyd’ has a certain, ring to it? ; )
Ah minions. Got to love them, especially Dave 🙂
Need to find my fart gun now.
It’s the Weekend! Time to watch this, run some errands then get ready for an afternoon/ evening of KD:M Lantern Years.
If you want to get the vibe for Twisted, check out their weird victorian terrain sets!
Great show, enjoyed the Battle foam segment
Absolutely sold on Gangs of Rome by the end of filming, damn you Gerry (@avernos) :p
It was great to actually have Battle Foam come visit and Jemma has a wealth of knowledge you’ll see in their upcoming videos.
Az
Ha Ha! Now you know how it feels for all of us when we are just innocently enjoying a Weekender and then suddenly BAM! BIFF! POW! all of our money is gone and we have new games on the way we didn’t even know we wanted ten minutes ago. 😉 🙂 😉
Thinking about Gangs of Rome I do like the idea on an aesthetic level of the mob being 2D while the main protagonists are in 3D
I’m thinking “standees” would make a good mob.
Gangs of Rome, sounds really promising.
@thisisazrael “I’ll put it away all nice and neatly ’cause I’m compulsive like that.” – Never knew I had a brother?! 😀
haha I mean if it’s not nice and neat it’ll get ruined! <3 Az
You mean Lloyd will nick and try and building something
Exactly ^^ I spent all my gaming budget this summer on proper storage for all my mini collections. Takes a bit of effort but so satisfying!
Happy weekend . Fantastit T-shirt Gerry @avernos whrere did you got it from?
It was a limited run I’m afraid mate. If it appears again though I will ping you a text
I was going to ask the same question. Love the T!
Great episode today guys. Gerry strikes again as he has me sold on Saga and now has me thinking about skulking the streets of Rome looking to shank someone at night in a crowded market so I can disappear into the mob.
The castle looks great with some nice touches in amongst the village models.
A conversion of bases to inserts you could put the trees into with a small wall built at the bases edge so they could be used in cobbled/built up areas would be good.
I’m an enabler 😉
PACK Mini looks epic for some of my skirmish warbands!
Pack Mini looks useful for carrying my Guildball teams.
Warlord games has some Early Imperial Roman Civilians and Slaves. Don’t forget the also got Pullo and Vorenus. And Sarissa has a Roman Villa. So ther is something commin up.
Sarissa have made 30 buildings for it, so far though only the collosseum and the exclusive shot of the one under construction have been shown. They’re holding off showing anymore so they can do a reveal of a full section of Rome. Warlord are distributing it, but they’re not making any of the miniatures for it, that’s courtesy of Steve and Paul sculpting for Footsore.
Lloyd, if you liked Space 1999, try UFO.
Funny thing about space 1999 and ufo is that when ufo was canceled space 1999 was born from what was left of that show that could be re-used.
Love my battle foam and the support is great
Good show guys. Gangs of Rome looks great
Great Show, looking forward to seeing Rome built. looks like 4ground might be planning some roman villa’s according at their Ancient & Classical section
I’ll do you a deal Thisisazrael, if you guys do a Gangs of Rome boot camp and you send me your 6 minis two weeks before the camp I will paint them for you and deliver them to the Bootcamp
can’t say fairer than that now 😉
Oh my word….. this seems legit to me @hazard 😀 Az
Please avoid a date clash with BonesCon 🙂
@lloyd always nice to see you 8n the driving seat of The Weekender and XLBS, your enthusiasmis hilariously infectious.
Gangs of Rome looks epic
love the fisty glueman avatar
@thudgutz – cheers.
Going to check out Battle foam for some Kingdom Death trays.
GoR feels like a real winner to me already! Conveniently it’s my birthday in January 😎
And it’s a round number as well so I expect the missus to be generous. I think I’ll be dropping a few hints by speaking Latin the rest of the day..and caking her Domina.. 😉
😀
You know what would be a great birthday gift Andy, being told there was a GoR bootcamp…
*turns and peers at BoW*
I need another period like I need another hole in my head. Ignoring that I would be all over a GoR bootcamp
