We're got a lot to dive into this week so make sure that you join us and comment down below!
Update
We are kicking things off with a call to go back and look at Essen SPIEL '18. We have four days worth of Live Blogs for you to delve into and we're giving away a whole bunch of neat prizes too.
As well as that we still have our Space Hulk Tactics Hobby competition for you to get involved with which has us excited to see what you're going to do.
Warhammer Quest Goes Sci-Fi
We're going to be talking a little bit today about what Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress is going to be offering to us when it lands on tabletops soon.
The Blackstone Fortress not only opens up a gambit of interesting characters to play with but it also could allow Games Workshop to look at some more of the creatures that dwell in the darkness of Warhammer 40,000 and its universe.
Mixed with that there's a chance to get people to play games within the world of Warhammer 40,000 without having to build a whole army.
News
As well as the news for Warhammer Quest we also have some more awesome bits and bobs to delve into...
- Rise & Fall Of Anvalor - A new board game from WizKids set in the Mortal Realms
- Early War British & Germans - Two new 'Starter Sets' to get stuck into for Bolt Action
- Spectre Tech - See what kind of new technology Spectre has been working on
- Scythe Metal Mechs - Some fantastic new bits of bling for your board games

Happy Weekend!!!
I’m very excited to see what Blackstone Fortress has in store! And would definitely love building and painting up the Rogue Trader crew from Kill Team. But alas, time and money are once again not in alignment to make that happen. 🙁 Unless, of course,a copy were to arrive at my door…. 😀 😀 😀
happy weekender guys!! great show as allways!!
I stayed up late enough working on terrain to see this post. Love what you all do and am excited about the Rogue Trader Kill Team contest!
Happy Saturday
Just saw GW’s blood and glory reveal post. Blackstone fortress does look good
You should have had Warren in the telly
I dont fit 🙁
Get Justin to take up magic and he can do the saw in half trick and put you in two screen.?
He’s a chippie, so I wouldn’t trust him with a saw lol….;)
Happy Weekend 🙂
It’s the Weekend!!
Sheez this post’s is already busy cconsidering how early it is in the UK. I reckon we all need ‘help’… Although I suppose we do have a missing Weekender to make up for.
Love me some Kill Team!
Everrain looks nice but too expensive I think. Mixed race teams in Blackstone Fortress will be good. Rogue Trader for the win!
Watching the Rogue Trader expansion with interest
I thought @warzan was off doing that calendar shoot… my local garage has already ordered their copy
I would like to see some squats and with GW doing board games I hope they are considering of putting some in.
For the Blackstone fortress game, I think what would be nice is, demons, chaos warriors (preferably thousand sons) and harlequins.
Looks like the CSM in the set are Black Legion, although maybe we’ll get Thousand Sons in an expansion set.
Not surprising with Abaddon the despoiler having controlled several of these mighty fortresses.
You not suppose to mention squats. They have been retconned out of 40k. Although the Demiurg are okay to mention.
Happy Weekend!
Why is a dog on the table? (26:45min)
Are you sure it’s a dog?
Yes I am sure.
But are you sure? It could well be not-a-dog?
You can see him also next to your shoulder on the cover picture. I am sure. It is the same dog.
Happy weekend. Would love me some rogue trader
I want the Geller Pox!! Said nobody, ever. Except me. Rogue Trader looks so cool and I’d love to give it a go and I’m really excited for Blackstone Fortress.
Would like rouge trader
To be honest I think I was more excited about Blackstone fortress before I saw the contence. Dont get me wrong the minis look great but think the new Necromunda stuff grabbed my attention more.
Blackstone does have pretty models, which may away me but as with all GW games how good the rules will be is questionable. Although it does seems that a lot of people are fairly satisfied, or possibly the rules aren’t the most important thing for them.
Still tempted by Rogue trader for the minis.
Would love to get a copy of the rogue trader game. Wasn’t able to afford a copy of the game.
Happy Weekend… Not sure how I feel about Ben being out of the screen on the Weekender…it’s just weird…???
Ben out of the screen, aagh,worlds colliding!
An Ambull! That brings back memories. I think I used to have an Ambull model and used it in a few games of 40k with the rules from WD. But I’d love to see Zoats make a come back.
Well the Hive Fleets burped up a Squat for Necromunda so hopefully they can burp up a Zoat too at some point.
What a great way to start the day.
I’m excited to see beastmen in Blacstone Fortress. I’ve been trying to put beastman in my Imperial Guard army since 40k 2nd edition, attempting to replicate the original IG armies from 1st edition.
Could use them as count as conscripts maybe?
Just the minis revealed so far for Blackstone Fortress look stunning,and seem to be exploring some of the quirkier corners of the 41st millenium. And it sounds like they are coming up with interesting ways to transfer WHQ mechanics to a SF setting…
Blackstone Fortress blew my mind! Rogue Trader is also nice, although I’m not much into Nurgle stuff 😛
