Happy Weekend. I’m off to Tiger day in minute in Bovington. Have to watch you guys later.
Balls pressed -1 to tank day. Fail sauce, sorry
No worries I had a great day
It’s the weekend!
@warzan May 7th I like how you collect everything on that date. Once again congratulations
Makes it easier for a moron like me to remember things lol
If only I had been so smart, I had to use the date as a pin code for a few years to remember. .. not any more should any one get ideas 😉
Hi guys…..yes I’m jumping around in my jammies….friends on Facebook told me about the prize lol….I don’t normally start the weekender until I’ve showered and settled down with a coffee…so iam in my jammies still lol….
If you could all go ahead and not comment on the Salute blog next year, that would be great lol. Congratulations to all the winners :). The G&G objectives were on sale at AdeptiCon. I was very tempted to pick them up for Relic Knights objectives.
It’s International Tabletop Day, what y’all got planned?
Happy weekend everybody, and I really look forward to seeing the results of Operation Flamestrike.
If you want to see the video screen in action, check out Dawn & Gianna’s interview with Powered Play on the AdeptiCon live blog.
Hello and goodmorning BoW crew. I would like to enter the Aether Captains competition however none of the city names in the answers are correctly spelled (according to the .pdf rulebook) so it’s a bit difficult to choose the right answer. Any suggestions?
#warzan Good Morning Warren! Laser-charging also works for wedding rings! Think about that next week!!! 😉
For all the rest of you: Enjoy your weekends and have a splendid hobby-time! I wish I had that new Deadzone here!!! That is so awesome. I just LOVE Mantic, they are such a wonderful company!

Warren allready congratulations with your wedding and happy honeymoon.
Deadzone 2.0 is looking very interesting. I will take some time to analyse the show more. Free rules Malifaux 2.0 rules is fantastic. I really love this game and this is a easy way to start playing for everybody. I think all need to check this game and understand why this game is so fantastic.
I am in love with Kritterkids miniatures. Asian small beasts. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meet My Little Pony. It would be fantastic to paint these miniatures.
Talking Blood and Plunder Kickstarter – they have put up a rule through of the ship to ship combat system for the game …
Links in the historical forum if any one is interested
I can’t wait to watch the Deadzone demo game between Warren and Justin. I am looking forward to getting my copy in the mail.
congrats Warren 8).
I invested large into the first version of Deadzone but sadly haven’t really played it much. I like that they’re revisiting it and hope it finds new life, and am glad I can at the very least use all the figures and terrain I already have. Maybe. Some day.
Aether Captains and Blood & Plunder both look great, but having backed two KS campaigns this month I’m going to be strong and avert my eyes.
Dead zone has been in need of a new ruleset and a revamp for some time. This seems to be just what it has needed.
Great Weekender – Pirates – look up Bartholemew Roberts.
Ronnie IS Santa Claus, or at least that’s how it looks when he comes into the Studio – all those great toys and version 2 of a great game that also leads into Warpath.
Enjoy your big day Warzan!
Hope the weather’s good for Saturday, Warren.
Blood and Plunder’s looking awesome, been thinking of Pike and Shotte recently but I can’t help but think there could be applications for this in a different setting – the Anglo-Dutch wars, the Anglo-Spanish wars (from a European perspective – siege of Dunkirk for example, Parliament ships scrapping with Spanish pirates while the Anglo-French pike and shotte storm the trenches). At the very least I’ll be picking up a ship and a crew if just for painting/diorama or something. Would love to recreate the ECW second siege of Hull – Royalists under the Earl of Newcastle try and siege the… Read more »
I’m watching the show while painting my Project Z biker gang. Nice minis.
Deadzone 2 looking really good. Please please do the same to Dreadball. I still love Dreadball (have a mini-tournament due on Monday) but it just needs a bit of love, a spot of tidying up. Related: the new DZ terrain looks incredible!
Check out the interview Ronnie did on FamilyofGamers777 on YouTube the other day. He said Dreadball is up for the 2.0 makeover like Deadzone.
Ah belter. I’ll have a watch next painting session.
Another great start to my Saturday
