It’s the Weekender!
Aristeia! New stuff from Corvus Belli is always of interest to me. I’ve managed to stay on top of Aristeia! and it’s new additions. I’m looking forward to what comes next in 2019. The ‘Grav StuG’ from – Dreamforge looks like a keeper to me. In fact I’ve backed it twice now. I hope it meets it’s goal this time. I think it’s a great looking model and I think would be welcome in many gamers collections. Clash Of Spears – The new rules for Ancient Wargaming look interesting. With the focus of their games wanting to make a “pure… Read more »
I have an issue with the StuG. OK – I’ll yield that we can imagine there’s a way of making it levitate… but when it fires, wouldn’t the recoil send it flying backwards? 😉
1) GW has a grav tank, have you questioned that tanks viability? ☺ 2) We’re talking an alternative timeline with equipment based on science that never has existed in our timeline. 3) If you need our reality to play well with their reality then possibly…. …..A) Super powerful Gyroscopes “like devices” that some how lock into the gravitational force of the planet and essentially lock it in place for activation of the weapon. 4) Is the weapon throwing projectiles like 1940’s Stugs? Or is it a “Lazer” weapon? 5) Possibly it has stability legs that extend from beneath and stab… Read more »
Yeah…OK!
But we both know we would want to be at the test range for early iterations when someone realised that picking off Newton’s Laws in order was fine when they were working on levitation and movement, but they probably should have considered the third law before test firing the gun…
P.s. We all know that anything GW is fantastical nonsense!
this might help… I talk about how it works in my eyes. https://youtu.be/UFjTAkIfV2w?t=1004
I like the look of clash of spears. I think I mentioned before that it looks like it has some hidden movement in it which I haven’t seen since Vis Bellica. I have been experimenting with multiple 10mm figures on a 2p for sabot purposes so I can use them for many games
Happy weekend all 😀
Looking forward to the show, up early and plenty of hobby to do while watching!
It’s my rotation on the fleet and I’m so happy that the moon isn’t in the way of my reception.
Happy Weekend!!!
starting the weekend in great way!! cheers!!
that is just one amazing prize!! I need that model for my emperors children army
happy weekend you guys!!! I will get some paint on my models while I watch this weekender
Yay for the Weekender! That Keeper of Secret is fantastic – might be the centrepiece model for my demonic host.
Gerry’s beard has been attacked by a lawnmower, but the best thing about beards is they grow back!
Re the Floaty Stug, I think it is a couple of years too late as the clamour for not-GW and massive sci-fi games doesn’t seem as strong. I do hope it funds as it would be great to see Dreamforge get back on track and more plastic sci-fi kits can’t be a bad thing.
Thank you, gents, for the shout out! Very much appreciated.
I hope the Grav Stug Kickstarter is a success, though I am disappointed that this (and all the other absolutely amazing Dreamforge models) will not be available retail. Or have I misunderstood Mark somehow? So far I have only bought Dreamforge kits from my FLGS – the awesome Battlefield Berlin. Anyway, I agree with Justin – the Levithan Titan is a truly State-of-the-Art kit – I added some ForgeWorld brass Inquisition iconography to make Mine Part of my Grey Knights Army. The Kellerkopf APC is also a beautifully designed kit – I painted mine in Armageddon Camo pattern as part… Read more »
Happy Weekend folks!!
Great start to the weekend as usual. Just spent 40 mins creating a mini on hero forge!! Great fun and a super cool step in the miniature hobby experience.
Enjoy your weekend guys and see you on the XLBS tomorrow! 🙂
crazy kahjiits from the future loooooooooooooooooool
The Spring Cleaning challenge might be the chance I’ve been holding off for to dust off my 6th edition Dark Elves minis that I painted around 16 years ago when I just go into tabletop. Coupled with the release of the new Slaanesh minis it gives me the chance to create a Cult of Slaanesh force like I always wanted to back during one of the old Games Workshop summer campaigns. Storm of Chaos I think it was called.
It can be hard to track members of the Praetorian guard down Gerry… cos they’re always Roman around.
Happy Saturday!
Happy weekend, everyone! 😀 😀 😀
Not a bad Kickstarter in the whole selection today which is very cool to see.
Have a pile o shadowspear to paint, might as well start now.
Got my pledge set up for the monster terrain!!
Welcome aboard the Ben & Gerry bandwagon @dignity, it’s a pleasure to see you here 😛
It’s the Weekend!!
A bit late this morning as I’m waking up away from home after a late night of gaming. Is it rude to pretend to still be asleep while I watch the weekender under the covers?
The Hero Forge stuff just gets better and better. Really love their approach and the options are fantastic.
Bloodborne looks tempting but someone needs to add an extra 6 hours every day to create the additional time I need to play/paint/model all of my hobby stuff. I’ve come to realise that you can spread yourself too thin….
I can imagine Ben’s Weekly review with Warren…
“Ben, I’m disappointed with you mate, you’ve only said ‘on the tabletop’ 56 times this episode… I expect the standard 100+ next week mate”
???
Thanks for the show!
Great show. The STUG from Dream Forge looks great.
Hope they SyFi up an English tank as well. My Imperial guard army is based on an English army.
Hope they get this one funded first.
I could see a floaty Cromwell working!
I figured out the answer to the Shadowborne Games riddle, though i don’t know where they thought i’m meant to get three of those nine letters from.
tose slanesh models are very nice
