Weekender: Walking Dead Winners, Blood Bowl Returns & Mythic Battles Breaks $1M
November 19, 2016 by brennon
Welcome to The Weekender. We've somewhat recovered from The Walking Dead: All Out War Boot Camp and will be diving into our thoughts on the game and much more besides!
Deep Cut Mats
We take another look at one of the Deep Cut Studios Mats that we've been using for a Battle Report this week.
Their Beach was fantastic and certainly helped us plan out a great scenario for use in our Bolt Action game.
Catching Up & Competition Winners
Make sure to dive back into what we've been doing this week with the new series of Antares Rising leading us into this Sci-Fi world.
We also have a Wolsung Let's Play that you just have to watch where we switch up the sides and have both Justin & John playing with factions they wouldn't normally use.

Also, we have some competition winners! Keep watching to find out who won the Battle Systems Shanty Town AND all of the goodies from The Walking Dead Boot Camp.
News Time
Let's take a look at the news from this week...
- Blood Bowl Now On Pre-Order - Will you be heading back to this Fantasy Football game?

Walking Dead Boot Camp Thoughts
We unbox the Kickstarter edition of the game that the Boot Camp members were able to play around with and give our thoughts on the weekend, the game itself, and what plans we might have for future events.
It was a lot of fun playing the game and we can't wait to get it down on the tabletop again. Did the Boot Camp inspire you to pick up The Walking Dead: All Out War?
Kickstarter Time
It's time to get some updates!
- Battle Systems Sci-Fi II Terrain - We catch up with the campaign in its last hours and see what has infested it!
- Mythic Battles: Pantheon - They're past the $1 Million mark and Bellerophon joins the fight.
- Way Of The Fighter - Old school arcade fighting on the tabletop!
- Undertown Infinity Terrain - Head to the seedier side of the city with your Infinity games.
We reckon that's some good projects to sink your teeth into.
What will you be playing this weekend?

Happy Weekend!
Happy Saturday
I was looking at those Fireforge armies to make a Brotherhood army for Kings of War. Those knights are sexy as hell!
Congrats to the winners. Brilliant prizes!!!!
Happy weekend!!
Sophia Lives!
@avernos best 6 points i ever spent
Not while I’m around!
Robert Kirkman only said the aliens were behind the zombie apocalypse to sell the comic because no company would publish a comic just about zombies. He even later did a joke issue where the aliens were in it. I guess the lie paid off for him in the end! LOL
Mythic Battles: Pantheon has been the best KS participation experience I have had so far – Leo on KS Live and Jake Thornton as the constant endlessly patient Voice of Olympus monitoring and responding to comments all day.
Gorgeous minis, including the monsters and gigantic ones like Atlas, Scylla and more to come!
And not forgetting the RPG version with Black Book Editions!
Testify!
That deep cut mat is perfect for Blood and Plunder
I have evil plans for a set of Blood Bowl Orks. ‘Ard Boyz, anyone?
It’s the Weekend! They’re back!
BloodBowl? Check out the demo game available now at many local GW stocking FLGS!
@dignity.A couple of suggestions for you to brush up on your Greek Mythology:
The Greek Myths: The Complete and Definitive Edition by Robert Graves. >750 pages of well written content… Or…
Sticker Greek Myths (Sticker Books) by Lisa Jane Gillespie
😉
(I know – if you can handle series of Black Library Heresy books you can gandle the first!)
In the Greek Tradgedy the Gods get involved and start helping out each side. Achillies fights a River God at one stage and was helped by a fire God. Achillies Armour was made by the God Hephistus. The Greatest tradgedy was Achillies pain. He was sulking in his tent after having an arguement with Aggamemnon when his cousin Petroculus dresses up in his armour and leads his troops into combat with Hector. Hector kill Petrocullis and Achillies kills Hector. Achillies takes captives, sacrifices them on his barrow but doesn’t find peace. He fights men, Gods and kills a lot of… Read more »
Post Boot Camp Weekender! Yay! Wasn’t the Walking Dead Boot Camp just the best? Yes, yes it was. 🙂 Love the Deep Cut Map Beach assault map – I can see it being great for a range of gaming scales. Their maps are not so easy to get where I live but certainly something I will save up for one day. Well Justin and I are just as ecstatic about the new Blood Bowl release. Unfortunately @dignity I am a born and bred Skaven player -Mwhahahahahahahaha! I am looking forward to reviving ‘Snikkers Skitterers & Snorters’ – my old scruffy,… Read more »
Helen was married to Menelaus, king of Sparta and brother of Agamemnon. Agamemnon was married Helen’s sister, Clytemnaestra, who killed Agamemnon when he got back from Troy. Such was Helen’s beauty that all her suitors pledged an oath to aid the eventual winner should anyone every try and steal Helen. Hence they all went to Troy to get her back. The Iliad is about Achilles’ coming to terms with his mortality. He’s from the generation of semi-divine heroes, but he has a mortal life-span. The Greek heroes compensated for this with kleos (stories told about their deeds), arete (their virtues… Read more »
Happy Weekend! I just took the kickstarter plunge and backed Mythic Battles! I am so excited 🙂
Welcome aboard :). Be sure to tune into Leo’s live video stream on KS this evening 🙂
tha twas @nakchak idea of sophia holding shotgun. and I believe she died?
Leo is good, he likes teasing the backers a lot with art, minis and what might come later.
/cry I never win, well done to all the winners and well done on a cracking bootcamp.
Great to hear everyone had a great Boot Camp and that the game not only held up but showed a huge amount of potential too. Glad to have Bloodbowl making a fresh appearance which will fingers crossed see all the range overhauled. I used to enjoy playing this and will be looking at picking it up to start playing a great League game again. Good to see another game get great support and funding on KS, I wasn’t part of the Conan one and was wondering if they fulfilled it on time? I always worry with very successful KS if… Read more »
Damn when you said wolf and then paused I thought id won something :\
Thanks so much guys, definitely did a little dance when you announced me as the winner!! Once again great video,looking forward to the conspiracy theory tomorrow
Holy flippin moly. Congrats!
I wondered how the servers were holding up. BoW definitely felt like there were a lot of folk tuning in.
One of my favourite books is the Patrocleia, which is part of the Iliad. As i recall, Helen ( of Troy, and Sparta, and perhaps even Egypt ) is worth fighting over, and declaring war for, not simply because of honour or beauty, but because she was the immortal daughter of Zeus, and as such brought with her the promise ( or at least potential ) of immortality for her husband. Bear in mind that the best all but a few greeks ( including the greatest heroes ) hoped for was to go to Hades after death and be remembered… Read more »
@noyjatat the Conan Kickstarter was pretty late. The project funded in February 2015 and was only delivered last month. It was the first Kickstarter for those guys and there were a few hiccups with the production schedule. This time, I am much more confident it will be dispatched in better time rather than the rather over optimistic estimate of October 2015 for Conan. They have allowed a date of December 2017 which is far more realistic. I agree that the inclusion of Jake Thornton (Quickworthy) has really helped sell this project. It’s a great product anyway, but Jake has really… Read more »
for the undertown that giffiti is from a decal sheet than actual on the building
Love the beach mat. I would play Halo ground battles on it. Would love to see a load of Warthogs driving onto the beach to kill some aliens.
