FIRST! 😉
Ohh and happy weekend everyone (especially you @thisisazrael as I take one more opportunity to thank you for being a superb member of the team and wish you success with the Mythic Games team)
See you again soon mate and safe journey.
Thank you @warzan! Can’t believe how fast the time has gone but I’m already super looking forward to bringing awesome Mythic Games titles back to BoW <3 Az
HEY!! That can’t possibly count. 😛 😛 😛
That’s cheating!
Hes taking a leaf from the Las Vegas 40K competition and claiming dubious victory on a technicality
Please expand the Purssionans with this https://store.warlordgames.com/products/napoleon-s-berlin-carriage convert it to the count as Lemon Russ tank commander you mentioned in the 40k chartered rough riders vid!
My Sith Title would be Darth Omen and I’d carry a green lightsaber with a recurved handle.
And the Doug McClure best acting award goes to…………………..
Doug McClure
😀
My Sith title would be Darth Urr and my lightsaber would be known across the galaxy as Le Mort.
My sith title would be Darth Corvus and my lightsaber would be yellow with a jet black handle sculpted so the blade emits from the mouth of a crow.
Sith Title
Darth Starkad
Red Lightsaber where the hilt is wrapped in leather and a rusty broken jedi order medallion is attached by a strap of leather.
When I was ill I watched Gotham by Gaslight. Not a good show. Could tell after about 10 minutes who the bad guy was going to be and a pretty poor storyline all round
Darth Shroud would be my Sith Lord Name. Always thought it was a badass sounding. I would have a hilot curved out of a Sarlacc tusk with a Dark Red Crystal.
For AWI TFL have just released or about to release a new campaign / scenario book for the battles in North Carolina
I would be Darth Idon’tgiveasith. My saber would look exactly like a repainted Maglight flashlight. The theme would be of a lazy cosplayer that dressed up in a hoodie because there was a $10 discount on the convention ticket if you came dressed in cosplay.
I cannot be more excited for Legion. John has me eyeing my Hasbro AT-ATs for parts. I’ve been thinking about how to turn Mantic Battlezones into the lower levels of Coruscant. I checking on model sizes to see if I can incorporate Bandai kits into the game, and it hasn’t even come out yet!
This comment section today…

Ha ha nice vid!
Happy Weekend!
I am Darth Tsk’Mastar
My lightsaber is a Crimson Red scimitar with an accompanying shield
My Sith title would be Darth Xero. My light saber would be a curved Darth Bane style hilt with a sickly green yellow blade that made unusual sounds from the Alien movie much like a light saber I’ve seen on YouTube. Thanks for doing such great videos!
“It’s the Weekend!!” exclaimed Darth Neth of the Thoul.
…and his (my) Lightsabre has a black light colour…
… it it black, but with a purple, throbbing outline (so you can actually see it)
My Sith title would be Darth Talon. And why limit yourself to one light saber? I’d take a two, a short, stabby light saber for my off hand and a big light axe for my main hand. It’s not a subtle style and I might have problems using other force powers given that you need a free hand….
And good luck to Az. Thanks for the content while you’ve been on board.
Thank you very much @redvers 🙂 Az
Darth Relentless
A huge double-handed claymore lightsabre, with a tartan holo-projector to bedazzle the enemy and a blade long enough to despatch low flying speeders, pierce the armour on tanks or chop the legs off renegade walkers. The lightsabre has an oversized powerpack to cater for a personal shield built into the hilt for when I need to charge across a battlefield under a barrage of heavy fire from the Rebels or their criminal allies. They see Death striding towards them and there is nothing they can do. I am the Hand of the Sith.
Darth Marth A’stuarrt My mighty weapon would be a giant light spatula and it would be used to let my enemies taste the dark side. My force powers would be the ability to incinerate my enemies to the correct temperature and to immediately feel a disturbance in the force if an Imperial facility had not been accessorized correctly
Darth Rudolf! I would have a red lightsaber crystal attached to my nose and my two light sabers that would be antlers which i attach to my head to charge people down. I only appear during star wars christmas. A boogey man of sorts. A myth to scare young jedi children.
Sith Title would be Darth Ravage. I would dual weild blood coloured light sabers.
Darth Azul and my light saber would be a deceptive dark blue
This is epic! Love me some Azul and combining with Sith deception, so good 😀 Az
Darth Noxious with a blazing crimson curved hilt lightsaber writhing with ancient black Sith lightning generated by Sith alchemy.
Darth Tyr. Red Core, Yellow pulsing outer aura, Jet black handle.
GW have truly excelled themselves this time, £20 for a single plastic model is bloody ridiculous in my opinion.
At least Dick Turpin had the good grace to wear a mask when he robbed people.
Damn that’s stupid prices, they sold a whole Bloodbowl team for that. But if people keep buying figures at those prices they will keep selling them at those prices.
Darth Fingalus. Re-enforced hilt on lightsaber after original help with the Sith name. Should be red crystal but with normal ability to mix colours will more likely be pink (or brown)
My Sith name would be Darth Sod. My Lightsabre which in my younger days I would get out and wave about at every opportunity, was I like to think much larger than your average lightsabre in both length and girth. A more detailed description of which would probably be only fit for the pages of XLBS. Sadly these days it is a mere shadow of its former glory ever since the encounter with the snippers of the rebel Justin Dogwalker
Great show this week – really a bumper edition!
I’d be Darth Pyro – the lightsaber would be ablaze with flame and would set light to all it touched!
