Warren Meets Mat
We couldn't let Warren escape just yet and so we got him in the studio to take a peek at this new Swamp Mat from Deep-Cut Studio.
It would be awesome to see how this would be used by you folks in the community so submit your ideas below.
What's Up With Drowned Earth?
We catch up with the Drowned Earth team and talk about what's new, what is around the corner and how things are going as they wander towards the retail release.
Considering the mat from this week we think that would be a great starting point for your Drowned Earth tabletop!

Happy Weekend!!!
Congrats to all the prize winners!! 😀
Happy Weekend @enginseer, any games planned?
Sadly no. 🙁 🙁 I’ve been working my tail off during the week and now I have all of the little things that have been getting delayed have to be dealt with. But I have the Weekender and XLBS to console me and I might steal some time to do some painting later. 😀
Happy Saturday / Friday night
Hey @rasmus hope you’re having a great weekend mate, how are you settling in over in the states?
It’s the Weekend!
Unfortunately RSI like arthritis of my wrist has put the end to any attempts at hobby recently, having to get it vicariously through BoW/OTT. A weekend of project browsing… and voting… awaits.
I feel for you mate, closest I’ve come was that attack of gout into my wrists and ankles, even now I still feel a bit of grittyness in the wrists. It can totally suck the fun out of trying to do anything intricate. 🙁 Are there other parts of the hobby you think you might like to divert your energies to? (I enjoyed the challenge of the 3D printing – and found the technical aspects of it interesting)
Gonna try playing with myself a lot more, wrist permitting… While Warren picks himself up off the floor I’ll qualify that it’s time to actually get some quality playtime out of some of the things I’ve backed over the last couple of years and can go solo with like 7th Continent, or even some more KD:M. Apart from that I might sit back and apply some brain power to an idea I’ve been sitting on for a while; a whole different kind of modelling… and no I don’t mean fashion. An ex SW developer I work in the area of… Read more »
Lol
You single handedly cracked me up there 😉
Looking forward to learning more about your project!
Thanks very much @dracs and @dignity for the very kind words on the Kursk series and the live stream we did the other day. Definitely a great conversation with the “Tank God” John Lyons!
I caught a chunk of the live stream @oriskany … really really enjoyable – great stuff! 🙂
Watching the re-play on Twitch @warzan , YES, I see your comments. So many comments we weren’t able to address or respond to. Hopefully a re-play gets posted on the site in the coming days so I can start replying to more of these comments, I don’t want anyone to think they were forgotten or ignored. 😀

Great Warren Meets Mat segment! Indeed – pirate scenarios would work great on this mat, especially the Blood n’ Plunder historical angle on the Age of Piracy. So many of those pirates made their “bases” in inlets, intracoastal waterways, etc that riddle South Florida coastlines (both east and west), extending up across Georgia and even the Carolinas. It was in these inlets, channels, etc. where many of the more famous historical pirate battles were fought. I also like @dracs ‘ idea of Mobile Riverine Force / 9th Infantry Division and IV Corps ARVN forces fighting against NLF/VC guerillas in a… Read more »
Happy Weekend, awesome to see more of The Drowned Earth. Thx guys!
Congratulations to all the winners !
Is Warzan trying to channel Babe Ruth in the banner photo?
lol totally 😀
As the screen names can be a bit odd I cannot fathom why you do not just put a list of the winners in the description. Seriously, why do you carry on stumbling over screen names week after week?
it’s just a bit of fun, its just part of the show, and folk get a little name check 🙂
Also if it’s that tough I can just put out a list of winner names in a separate post…
Didn’t you guys do that at the Salute give away? I think with things like today and salute where it is a huge list it would be great to have a list as well 🙂 If it is only one or two I think it can be without list 🙂
Yes but it’s great to force you to watch the show first lol 😉
Insanity was never a positive thing in the works of H P Lovecraft.
Happy Weekend everyone 😀 .I agree with @tankkommander , i was surprised you guys didn’t put that many winners in the show notes ? As far as the Archer goes, historically the arrow could be nocked either side of the bow considering style of Archery and dominant hand of the Archer.
I will probably do it as a separate post on Monday
Happy Saturday! ^_^
Ohhh yeah! Winning TTCombat prize, awesome!
Very sorry my dear Justin that I was the most difficult prize announcement ^_^
Cheers guys! Can’t wait ^_^
Congratulations chap!
Thanks! ^_^
Well done @waxfrance enjoy mate!
Thanks Warren! ^_^ (and happy holidays, buddy!)
Perfect timing, a lot of games for the French National Bastille Day! Aye aye!
Unless I managed to miss it, I think you forgot to announce the winner of the Fantasy Dungeon Set from Battlesystems?
We will double check and if it was missed it will go out next week 🙂
I think they did mention it. I can’t remember who it was (only that it wasn’t me!) but I do remember them mentioning it!
I DID miss it (watched it a second time, congrats to DamnitPrawn). There were a gazillion prizes being won, it’s easy for the old and befuddled to miss these things 🙁
No need to worry Warzan, all is good. And enjoy the rest of your Holidays 🙂
The ” bigature ” is part of a pledge level, the R’lyeh Rising Pledge,but my poor wallet couldn’t take the strain.
I hear the sound of that wallet crying out in pain lol
It’s happy for now that i couldn’t take a pledge on,but it doesn’t realise just i’m just lulling it into a false sense of security for next year 😉 , Conan 2.0 and Mythic Battles: Ragnarok will hove into view in no time at all and a geek has to be prepared 😉 😀 ….. Or is that just the Scouts…..?
Happy Weekend!
I love the Kursk series so far and the live chat yesterday was really a blast with a lot of goodpoints made by the guys.
The Aussies for BA look great.
Was great to see you on the chat yesterday! 🙂
Was great to see you with a drink today 😀
Lol looking forward to another one a little later. But have an appointment to float around the lazy river with 4 little ones to keep first 😉
Have fun 🙂
Happy Weekend and Sam I know what your saying about Cthulhu Death May Die it something about it but I think its the stereotyping on mental illness but maybe it will prove us wrong.
I think there is definately a conversation to be had on XLBS when I’m back about the pros and cons of stereotyping in our industry… 🙂
Totally agree there with you Warzan and aren’t you meant to be enjoying your holiday, lol. Actually have a wonderful time with the family mate
Lol will do mate (distracting myself from mini fencing here – with the boys it’s turned into a weird form of mini jousting lol)
If you have thoughts on the topic mate please drop me a pm and we can use that to help us frame the discussion 🙂
I will mate
Happy Weekend 🙂 Will be painting and building today 🙂
Oh my days, I won something!
Well done mate enjoy the prize 🙂
Thank you from one Northern Irish Warren to another 😉
great to see you all again guys happy weekend everyone.,
Happy weekend @radegast6 hope you have a magnificent one 🙂
@warzan thx mate, I bet is not as good as yours if you Camping, but its my weekend of so its not bad at all. now you get back to your family and stop reading comments!
Wow, and I started this weekend being chuffed about my golden button! but then to hear my name coming up in the prize section and even better for the hobby god bag of all things I am blown away. Thank you thank you guys for awarding me that, just bloody awesome.
Feeling great!

Oh and I am going to see Az today at Warboar Games for some more Soloman Kane and Joan of Arc goodness, this is a pretty epic weekend so far.
Give @thisisazrael a kiss from us 😉
Congratulations mate, well deserved, hope to see you and another bootcamp.
still jammy dancing, but congrats to all the winners… my goodness there was a lot of cool stuff there.
@warzan in a hobby not known for its sartorial elegance, that shirt is a shining beacon to us all. Thumbs up from me.
My body is a gift to the community to demonstrate supreme fashion and elegance mate 😉
Ha! Between us we’ll get this hobby bang on trend, just as soon as I change out of this band t-shirt.
Great weekender. Thanks guys 🙂
Congrats to all the prize winners! Especially @laughingboy for his Malign Sorcery and for stepping in for Hobby Hangout. On the subject of representation of Mental Illness in pop culture, it’s not the silly use of mental illness as a stereotype that puts me off something, it’s the fact that I immediately lose some respect for those responsible that they’d be willing to put their uneducted idea out there as something cool, oblivious to how one note it is. So while I’ll still play a game or watch a show that stereotypes in this manner, it really diminishes the credentials… Read more »
In regards to the archery issue, the arrow goes on the outside if you are using the western style, drawing back with the split two fingers. The arrow will go on the inside if you are using the Eastern style, which you normally use a thumb ring to aid drawing back the string.
I personally draw from the inside, two fingers, no thumb ring.
I don’t think it really matters in modern archery, but historically that’s where both styles originated.
