Shades Of Spring
You can also now go and look at the amazing projects which won the Shades Of Spring challenge that we set earlier in the year. There were some deserving winners and some fantastic effort put into this one. Hopefully, we'll be back in the future with another one for you to take part in.

Happy weekend! It’s only 5 hours since I finished watching hobby night live and there’s a weekender! Woo!
Happy weekend, everyone. 😀
Happy weekend, and stay safe down there
hope you and your loved ones are not too affected by Irma this weekend mate.
Thanks, @rasmus , @wolf320f , and all. 😀 She’s making her turn north much later than originally predicted. So we’ll catch plenty of the wing, but it looks like we’ve been spared a direct hit here on the Florida east coast. Best hopes and wishes for everyone on the Florida west coast, however.
Thinking of you and your family.
Thanks very much, looks like we’ll miss the absolute worst of it. 😀
Happy Weekend!
It’s the Weekend!
A weekend I win bu@@er all as usual…
Gratz tp all the winners… ENJOY!
It’s gotta happen some time mate 🙂
Live blog the tournament? You mean live stream the tournament…
Yes, were gonna do that instead :).
We have some ideas!
Good. Live blog wouldn’t be much fun for something like this. Worth having a couple of people commentating if possible.
On the game itself, I played it through the first set but couldn’t afford to keep going when the second one came out. Is fast and fun, though, and definitely worth trying out.
We are absolutely on the same page mate 🙂
Great minds… :p
Wow, massive well done to all of the winners of the terrain challenge. Awesome efforts all round and more than deserving of their prizes.
They were quite amazing weren’t they 🙂
I am doing the jammy dance this morning. Wow!
Woop woop jammy dance!!
\m/ (>_<) \m/
Great show again my terrible luck continues with the prize winning but congrats to all the winners, some amazing stuff there.
Be great to see a Star Wars Destiny lets play to teach the game, the Dark Souls videos have been great for that.
See you at XLBS tomorrow and then looking forward to the bootcamp next weekend.

Haha I hear you. Sometimes it feels like you couldn’t get picked even if you were the 5th man in the line-up for 5-aside football!
@laughingboy we have a Let’s Play filmed with our USA team you can check out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rkc5J-amGE
Now Warren has thrown the gauntlet down though we’ll definitely have BoW HQ content coming too 😀 Az
Still recovering from the last few minutes of yesterday’s show..
Have a great weekend all!
@oriskany
Your house looks like a fortress man. You are the Omega Man 😎
Stay safe!
I have now composed myself lol
Thanks, @suetoniuspaullinus – does that mean Rosalind Cash (Lisa) is gonna show up at my door? I don’t think she and @gladesrunner will get along very well. 😀 I might have a bigger storm INSIDE the house than outside! 😀 😀
@Warzan, you mean Doctor Cornelius Evazan and Ponda Baba
Yup that’s the ones!
Scared me as a kid those dudes
Spoiles for anyone who has not seen Rogue One but they both are in that movie as well
Woohoo! Crazy cat lady!
There’s a line between hobby and art. Personally my terrain can’t even see that line with a telescope, which is fine – I have some decent looking terrain to fight on.
Some of the competition entries here are approaching that level. Hats off terrain winners!
Im utterly blown away by the continually rising creativity and execution.
Lovely to watch 🙂
“Beasts of War has probably given away over £100,000 worth of prizes, so come along and win some stuff.”
I keep trying and never win. Boohoo :'(
Oh well, great show guys!
My hobby night lives full of toadstools
‘How you you know they are toadstools?’
Because there is not mushroom inside!
Boom boom lol
@warzan you better save Dawn a seat for the tournament she would unleash the hounds of war if she wasn’t invited.
We will make it happen lol
Even if she competes remotely!
Happy Weekend!
Congratulations to @collins @tinracer @soapdodger and to young Harry! Each of those projects was amazing and inspiring. I feel honoured just to get a mention!
I eagerly await the next challenge 😀
Congratulations to the Gencon winners, I’m super jealous of @brewgeek here… 😛 Lol!
I can’t even to begin to imagine what kind of shenanigans will happen during a Star Wars tournament there… bring it on!!
@dane001 was great to see young Harry’s project another terrain tutor in the making well done young man.. keep up the good work im looking forward to your next win because it will happen at some point im sure..
Great Eps. 😀 Congrats to all the winners!!
Any one know if they announced the winners of the Blood and Plunder week? Surprised I missed it.
I got my jammies on, a cuppa, and well I guess I am going to sit here, no dancing for me.
Az! You have Sub-terrra! I am a backer. While it looks like we will be getting the game way earlier than expected, I assume you snagged a copy from the UKGE? Glad you are having fun with it, I can’t wait to receive my copy. Hope you guys do a play through. I see it as a sleeper hit of the year.
We have it indeed, a very good game every time we’ve played with nail biting endings every time.
Definitely think it suits 4+ players so not sure when we will be able to grab a let’s play but I am with you @turbocooler that it’ll be a big hit when out in full.
Az
I would definitely be up for a Star Wars Destiny tournament and I have just started playing Paizo’s Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. I have the Rise of the Runelords full adventure path.
its the pre pre 200th show Yay.
@warzan you have to get on a plane if you want the cool GenCon swag. The pilgrimage must be made. 😉 😉
congratulations to all the winners great prizes.
