It’s the Weekend!
Time to un-padlock myself from the work desk and masking tape myself to the hobby desk. First there’s the small matter of the Weekender…
Hang on… First? Where’s Dennis?
Oooops I was distracted by the four day Thanksgiving Weekend. Much gaming and a new 65″ 4k TV, (from a Black Friday Sale), on which I can now watch OTT in Scarry Vivid Detail!
@!loyd – if you like your City Skylines, theres a boardgame version of that too….

what bummer can reply…unless i reply to you
It’s the Weekender!
WoW, what a great week of Firelock Games content. Fantastic stuff!
As for the Cult of Games Vlog Series (https://www.beastsofwar.com/backstage/pirate-gaming-table-final/) it was fantastic as well. That table was so good that I followed along and built one for myself. I now use the foam method for building terrain whenever I can.
We are trying out the skirmish rules for ‘Star Wars: Legion’ this weekend. Nicely time for the upcoming Star Wars Weekend!
It has indeed been a good week of Firelock content. Three nice games with a thread of Firelock DNA throughout.
….and in todays episode of “The Weekender” we find out why Lloyd is so fascinated with “The Lloyd Shot” 🙂
So this actually means that Lloyd has booty projection? Does he see a reflection of his pleasantly plump rump from yesteryear in all the other bums he gazes upon?
Happy Weekend!!!
Happy weekend all.Loved all the Firelock content this week.Now to set plans in motion to try and convince a friend or two to follow me into some Blood & Plunder.
Gerry, you are wrong, there are more right angles on those Normans than at a square convention. I’ll stick to the lovely ones I have from Footsore, Crusader and even Conquest Miniatures, who already do a decent set of Norman infantry and knights, have some lovely metal crossbow troops and archers. Compared to the lovely plastic Arabs and Late Romans that Gripping Beast already do, and the great looking Goth calvary they have also previewed, these just aren’t very good.
On SW:L skirmish: they also made the game max at 5 turns instead of 6. Played it with the owner of my FLGS the other day. Really nice speed up.
HOLY CRAP! Who ever edited the video an added the “I don’t like to read” text next to Justins head… you’ve scarred my for life. The text was to fast so I slowed down the video to 25% and hearing the guys at that speed…. that’s pure horror XD This will haunt me! XD
Magnate: Tutorials are a great idea… just to speed up learning the rules.
nice show. more please
The Gods appreciate your effort and sacrifice for slowing the video down…
Guys thank you for the show! See you tomorrow!
Thank you for the show. Happy weekend everyone.
Yay happy weekender guy’s.
Have you guys seen the Ork ATAT on farcebook it looks brilliant.
no but I saw the orc at-st in the mandalorian
here’s a link to the war beast.

God bless @ludicryan
So let me get this straight,
Gerry likes A Killing Joke (a fine choice)
Lloyd’s milkshake brings Justin to the yard, but makes Warren ill
Ben is a magic techno-fairy who lives in the TV at the top right of the screen (another sound choice there)
and Dawn of Madness looks very, very tempting
Ben is a magic techno badger/gnome that actually has a hand in reality when he steps out of his mystic sonic picture box for conventions and videos where he gets gifts. Granted he does have similarities to unicorns in that respect but we can say that Ben is real.
I approve of all of this.
Magnate sounds interesting (Trump town?).
Hopefully, no one will use him as an iconic man to emulate heh
Lol
Great show guy’s.
Has anyone got/seen the model’s from Strato Minis Studios are they as good as they look? thanks.
Another great Weekender and the miniatures this week look interesting. The Harald miniature is awesome looking for any Viking Age game system
He is very dashing. It will be fun to see what the rest of the Varangian Guard look like
OK. Who forgot to place the ice cube.
Happy Weekender! And yay! Relicblade. And thanks for the shout out for STF Wargaming Studio. @avernos I’d give you a demo on Tabletopsimulator!
No problemo – you guys do some great stuff!
rytecrtcyubybtktnyutyutytytb also I think Gerry is the bestest in the world ever 😀
that was a test….dont worry it was a test
I also tested something 😀 😀 😀
Magnate looks pretty cool. As someone who loathes monopoly but enjoys city building this could be right on my street.
Yeah, I am very taken with the mechanics and what they’ve said about the game so far. It might be nice to have something like Magnate in the collection alongside the likes of Suburbia and Acquire.
Dawn of Madness looks tempting… But do I have the time and space for another big game stuffed full of minis? Hmm…
You can get the game without the miniatures and with standees, if you prefer which might take the edge off heh
Another excellent weekend
1990s, central Birmingham: the internet cable got cut at my office while they were preparing the site for a car park out back. Someone (NOT ME!) described it as Irish erosion 😉
