July 28, 2018 by lancorz
We've got a packed show for you today and guess who is back! Yes, it's Lloyd! We have managed to drag him away from the computer and get him into the set to get a round-up of what's awesome in the tabletop gaming world.
Make sure to tune in and chat in the comments with anything that caught your eye.
Updates
We have some big updates for you this week...

...so make sure to catch us at Gen Con next week for our meet-up next Saturday at 7:30pm at Loughmiller's and watch the Darker Days Radio guys get stuck into being Vampires.
Bolt Action Boot Camp
We can also announce that we will be running a Bolt Action Boot Camp at the end of September between September 28th and 30th.
Tickets will be going up soon so watch this space and the theme is going to be focused on the Western Desert Campaign from World War II

TANKS: The Modern Age
We bring John in to take a look at the new TANKS: The Modern Age game and the Starter Set which is coming soon from the folks at Gale Force Nine.
Look out for much more in the future as we'll no doubt be cracking open the expansions and more for a Let's Play in the near future!
Micro Art's Desert Terrain
This has been out for a while but we take a look at the new Desert Terrain from Micro Art Studio. This would, of course, be great for the likes of Star Wars: Legion or something like Infinity too!
How would you go about painting these terrain pieces?
Kickstarter
Let's take a peek at two Kickstarters that we think are worth checking out this week.
- ModBlokz Sci-Fi Terrain - Take a peek at this new modular and magnetic terrain

Which of these would you snap up?

Boo ya first!
Happy weekend to all! We are preparing for the Irish invasion!
We must have started typing at the same time, you just finished first. 😛
Happy Weekend!!!
A great way to end a loooong week! But sleep first, hobby awesomeness many, many hours from now.
I’ll dream of you all. 😉

Not like that, you dirty dirty things! 😛 😀 😛
What hobby will you be doing this weekend @enginseer?
I’ve got my copy of Kill Team to read and all my Skitties to build; Some tactical operators from Spectre Miniatures to prime for Last Days; and a staff meeting for the Werewolf LARP that I help run. My hobby runneth over this weekend.
It’s the weekend!!

Knew there was a way it was possible!
I am really looking forward to Kill Team. The smaller model count and campaign feature is very appealing.
I am suitably done with large armies at the moment so yes Kill Team really does feel like it would be a good window into the world of Warhammer 40,000 without having to go crazy. Seems very narrative!
no badgers in it though … 😉
Yeah, the model count is a winner!
AAAAaaahhghhh, why is Justin so terrible? Every time he opens his mouth I cringe.
Do what I do and sit back and enjoy him for the fluke of nature that he is lol
once you realise he is no ordinary human being it all clicks into place 😉
Happy Kill Team Weekend… ^^
That’s what the Genestealers say each time they prepare for an invasion…
nope, they call it a lunch break 😉
Yay! The Weekender 🙂 Excellent show guys. And Bolt Action Boot camp…how I wish I could be there. See you on XLBS tomorrow.
Hope one day you’ll be able to come join us for a Boot Camp!
@dracs ,you’re getting your Gladiators mixed up 😛 .The Net and Trident type were called Retiarius, the Murmillo were armed with a Gladius and large ‘ Legionary ‘ type shield.Now i’ve got my Gladiator history nerdishness out of the way,Happy Weekend to all and i’ll get my coat and leave you all in peace and hobby goodness.
The kill team terrain looked interesting . Of course where there’s cargo pods you get cranes but even better is that where there’s cranes theres bound to be………TRAINS!
You better be rigth about the TRAINS you tease lol
Even in the Grimdark 40000 years in the future men and Xenos alike will appreciate and need a nice stabilised 4-3-4 bogey setup
Strap in, get ready for some chop.
Looks like @warzan has returned. But more importantly my #bringbackLloyd campaign has worked!
The AoS card game looks great, nailed it.
That mahoosive box of card dungeon delving was the highlight though. I’m not sure what I expected when you took off the top layer but wow! And all quality product too.
#lloydsbackforatwoshowrun – catchy 🙂
Well if it is 2 shows you will had a longer run than a Roseanne Barr sitcom
damn lol
Don’t think we didn’t clock you last week too. I can neither confirm not deny I did a jammy dance
So good to see Lloyd back in The Chair, great show guys!!
Like riding a bike! 🙂 Ah wait, last time i was on a bike i fell off.
As someone who has never played a GW game I have had a close look at Kill Team and I have to say I am not convinced. The ‘Kill Team: Fangs of Ulfrich’ expansion costs £37.50. For that you get a background leaflet, 5 Reivers, some scatter terrain and the faction specific Tactics & Mission Cards and tokens. What you actually need out of this is the Reivers and the cards. The terrain is nice but not essential to play the game. As a box of 10 Reivers costs £35, the starter set is charging a £20 premium to get… Read more »
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my wife has booked a weekend away on the 28th AGGGGHHHHHHH
Damn couples weekends. Always getting in the way of gaming 🙂
Boot Camp baby!! I’ll be there as I am so keen to try Bolt Action
Age Of Sigmar Champions looks incredible Im really hoping I can get my hands on one of the Founders Packs, the website says not to Australia (yet?) but Ive sent them an email -fingers crossed-
@Justin — If you want a Justin mind melder sort of book, read “Fox Tossing: And Other Forgotten and Dangerous Sports, Pastimes, and Games” The Colosseum was a venue for more than just gladiatorial games, though, used also for public executions and mythological plays. The Romans would often re-enact famous military victories, with free admission and food for all visitors. Perhaps the most spectacular events at the Colosseum, though, were the mock naval battles in the flooded arena. Should you take a tour of the Colosseum in Rome some day most of the guides will mention this and there are… Read more »
Just remembered what you said about Gencon and being taken to a baseball game. Sure it will only be the white Sox but what can I say?
Great show -looking forward to seeing you in Indy
Will Tanks: Modern age expand to use Modern Chinese armor?
Good show, the Champions card game looks interesting and I normally don’t gel with them, so well done
Another BA Bootcamp is a dream come true..fingers crossed I’ll manage to get a ticket.
It’s going to be the mother of all bootcamps ?
Justin, please put locations on the “Places” map. Now does anyone have entries for Baku.
Great weekender guys liking the new building’s from modblokz.
Boot Camp on the 28th September? Hey that’s my birthday! Shame I have zero interest in Bolt Action. ? Isn’t Lego ‘Adult Lego’? ? On the box being bigger than @dracs – that reminds me of the previous campaign my D&D group were playing and we’d jokingly measure things in ‘Seraphinas’ which was the name of the halflings wizard in the party; maybe you guys should start measuring things in ‘Sams’. ;p. (Side note, iirc, in that campaign my drow paladin was exactly two Seraphinas tall). On scaring Sam – who says you need Warren around to fill the show… Read more »
I never realised anyone else had that… and I don’t call it ‘retractable genital syndrome’… but when walking around a ruined castle with no wall either side of me there was a tingling sensation in my scrotum… figured I had ‘peril sensitive nuts’.
I can cope with heights… been up many mountains and high rise buildings… but my nuts don’t like it when there’s nothing between them and an unexpected drop… maybe a flashback to my testicles younger days… before the drop.
