Happy Weekender every one!
Is it just me, or did it feel like it took forever for the weekend to get here?
Maybe I’m just working too hard and need to slack-off more. ?
Happy Weekend!!!
Damn, I wasn’t even CLOSE to first! 😀
Happy Weekend! I really want a Blackstone Fortress. LOVE the Traitor Guard.
War Cry looks fun. The terrain tutor seems great and I plan on pledging.
Two quick notes for everyone: 1) The Sitrep team (Modern Military Gaming) will be running a Live Stream with a special guest today, starting at 4:00 PM GMT at https://www.twitch.tv/sitreppodcast/ . Myself, Gianna, Ralph, and Chris hope you’ll swing by and see who from the gaming industry Gianna’s managed to snag for the show! 2) The Sitrep Ops Center – Episode 03 is now up on OTT/BoW, YouTube, and Twitch. Apologies for the delay earlier this month, but the series is back in production. This time we’re taking a wargamer’s look at the Yom Kippur War, the biggest of the… Read more »
Sorry to have missed the live show, but real life you know …
No worries, @rasmus – we had a great show and a great audience. And the recording is now up on YouTube. 😀

I’ll have a look tomorrow – beer and after-D&D got me right now
Solid stuff dude.
Thanks very much @jockjay ! 😀
It sucks that Warcry is Chaos only. I was really hoping for an AOS KT that involved more factions
it’s the same reason GorkaMorka wasn’t as succesful as Mordheim. Being so restrictive alienated a large amount of players who didn’t like the factions
I think there’s a lot more room with Chaos than people think. The different gods are all very unique in their approach and with them then being split down into tribes I think we’ll have quite the diverse offering.
There’s still AoS Skirmish for the wider array of options for a small skirmish force. I look to Necromunda as an example here. It’s all humans (for want of a better term) battling it out in the same location and they’ve got a diverse range of aesthetics/styles there.
I liked the opening sequence. Lloyd almost looked excited and enthusiastic about the prizes
Amazing what the presence of a new Kroot sculpt can do to a man like Lloyd!
U know it!
Janus Draik is my favourite blackstone character because of the mustache and monocle.
Hope everyone has a great weekend, and i hope i win Blackstone fortress so i can play with my friends!
For the Tauntaun Do you get the tree it looks like it’s having a pee against in the box or do you have to provide your own?
I reckon you’ll have to provide a tree yourself @torros 😀 .
Happy weekend all
I am Kroot?
Lol 🙂
Fav miniature fire Blackstone Fortress is UR-025 because we need more rouge trader stuff In modern 40k we need a squat for this game though
It would be great if GW had a packing error of the giveaway box and there was no Kroot shaper in the box in the first place… who would the community believe!
UR-25!!! what is the best battle systems tabletop terrain setup someone would recommend for star wars legion?
Shanty or industrial they both have that lived in feel. Cyberpunk for a core planet maybe
id agree 100% on that lived in feel for the two id personally probably go with shanty. also ohh wow cyberpunk is much better than I originally thought. I only took pictures based off their site which I found wasn’t giving them the justice it deserved. After a quick google search im left with thinking i need them both now. but those prices when using canadian $… ouff probs gunna have to stick with shanty, I appreciate the response!
my pleasure
Yea, It’s the Weekend!!
No urgent work to complete this week, only loads of stuff to do around the house, so… Rugby and hobby it is then !! 😉
@avernos,@lloyd you need to add Wizards and Yellow beard to your must watchlist
Also Day of the Siege which is about the 1683 Siege of Vienna by the Ottomans. Has some lovely Cavalry charges in it
Yellow beard is a great shout, Wizards is a new one on me just watched a clip, and that is all kinds of awesome so definitely on the list.
@Lloyd you should add Day of the Siege to your list as well Anna would enjoy it.
Cheers for those mate, hadn’t heard of the either of those.
If you like Wizards then Fritz the Cat might be an interesting choice by the same writer/Director
oh I’ve seen Fritz 🙂
lol Anna’s never watching that.
you should see the cav charge with the polish winged lancers, it’s amazing. Done on a budget but great nonetheless
I mean Fritz!
probably for the best XD
I’ve watched some of the Critical Roll stuff. They really are boring role-play sessions to my mind
Each to their own.
They need Dungeon Master!
https://death-saves.com/collections/chapter-1/products/dungeon-master-ls-t-shirt Death Saves did a pretty cool take on him.
UR-025, great looking sculpt and who thought GW would ever make a Man of Iron model?
I’ll be honest, I really want to build a Legio Cybernetica list with UR-025 leading a bunch of Kastellan Robots….
Hmmmm…something familiar here…
Warcry is groups of Chaos with enigmatic leaders fighting for territory etc in the wastelands…
It’s basically CMON’s HATE! GW style then!?!
That”s ok I suppose given I might table my Hate minis as an AoS army sometime 😉
Oh yeah – guess how I’ll source one army for Saga AoM!
Good man
Happy Weekender!
Terrain Essentials on Kickstarter already supported.
@lloyd and @avernos you can get your WW2 trains from here.
https://sarissa-precision.com/collections/railway-28mm
I wonder if the gauge match 🙂
You would think so as the 4ground do 28mm as well
I have never played Saga but I have been considering it for a while because I really want to try it for an Elder Scrolls themed game. So any Saga experts here (@lloyd @avernos), I would appreciate some advice as to whether it’s likely to work. I don’t really want a rank and flank mass battle game because my experience of Elder Scrolls video games is always very skirmishy which is why I looked at Saga. Could Saga work? And would you recommend Age of Magic, historical rules (and equate elder scrolls factions with historical factions) or attempt a mish… Read more »
.. this would end up being a wall of text and still may not answer your questions.
So what I’m going to do is film a quick video going over the two systems and fire you the link when I’m done. Then you can see what you want to run with. Both are excellent but both are fairly different
https://youtu.be/oblxsj3I8FM there you go mate, hopefully that makes a bit more sense than a wall of rambling text.
So the main difference is that there’s no Rus filth in WoE?
best difference 😀
Cheers. I haven’t watched it yet but I will watch it later when I get chance. I appreciate the effort though.
Thud and Blunder might work as I think it’s a smaller scale than the other2 games
Awesome weekender very interested in Mel’s book…. and Blackstone Fortress of course.
