First again … cheating again too
Was Az confusing philia and phobia?
Yea absolutely was, great spot. Az
What you get up to in that regard during hurricanes in private situations is your own business and should never be discussed on the show!!
Happy Sunday, Xtra Lovely Baby Stormborn!!! 😀 😀 😀
I haven’t even got to watching this XLBS, but please, never do that again to Az, to us, to the Lord and Saviour baby Jebus – er,,, Stormborn. 😀 😛
What you talking about? That’s my son you cheeky begggar 😛 Az
My goodness! He certainly has inherited your – er – qualities. My apologies as I thought I was seeing a Warzan/Azrael lovechild. …which now I think about it might be the most awesome thing ever for the future gaming industry and a most terrifying friend for a wee Justin Junior!
Happy Sunday!!
That picture is so disturbing I almost didn’t click through. Winding up for Halloween?
Why do these Wizkid games have to be so heavy? How about some light games. A dice game researchingnew weapons by rolling dice to match requirements on project cards, “who”s the heretic?” Card game etc.
They do have Dice masters, which is lite and fun to play.
To have an aggressive early release of some games appearing early 2018 I suspect Wizkids do have a couple of systems in the pipeline that could be reskinned later in design to use the IP rather than reskinning an existing system.
Justin – GW Speciality Games produced Inquisitor that dealt with their warbands fighting it out over a tabletop. Miniatures were I think 54 mm.
FFG did produce a 40K boardgame with minis Forbidden Stars.
I would think that GW would want a 40K Dice Master series to help with recruiting US players.
Much earlier they produced a WF boardgame with minis called Chaos in the Old World, though both those games were very much in the board game territory for their minis (and not minis board game either but like Rebellion or TI).
Forbidden stars were Tokens IMHO to be classified as a miniature it needs to be something made to scale and basically within scale of it’s other components.
These days (and for a long while) GW (quite rightly IMHO) do not give license to craft minis that are directly compatible with their own games.
But who know what the future will hold!
Could they be allowed to compete head on with a Forbidden Stars replacement?
Aeronautica Imperialis made use of the Epic models and was published by Forgeworld in 2007. We might assume that GW have little desire in making that size miniature; then the door opens to both Epic and Aeronautica games as an available license.New plastic suitable playing pieces could be permitted.
Isn’t Titanicus appearing next year? . I think they mentioned 8mm at the time and not 6mm
Happy Sunday all,
Looking forward to seeing you guys in a few hours at the 40k open day!
Big Congratulations to Warren and the family!
That is a really creepy photo. Happy Sonday.
Happy Sunday!! Most disturbing title card for a while! 😀
@thisisazrael Collin says Hello! ^^
Collin says Hello! ^^
Haha gotta stay on the good side of your editor…. Az
Impressive. I tried pausing it at the right spot myself and failed.
Love you Az <3 - Colin
Morning all thanks again for the lovely messages folks really appreciated! (Myself and Andrea were chuckling at how it feels like we have a gigantic family – even though both of ours are quite small) lol 🙂
Oh yeah, Happy Birthday to this awesome future gamer. Congratulations to Andrea and you.
Happy Sunday everyone (who was hardy enough to get past that beautiful picture :P)! Az
Looks like the new critter in starwars mate 😉
I have done Tough Mudder but I won’t be repeating it. I prefer Soft Cleaner these days!
Fair play to you @darkdanegan! Have a ton of respect to anyone who takes on that challenge. Az
@thisisazrael if you looking into modern I would start with spectre as Skirmish Sangin is more for your platoon level (8+ men) also from my playthrough of it a lot of maths. Spectre is fast paced with depth and gets you shooting quickly :-).
I would check out the Facebook page for spectre https://www.facebook.com/groups/spectreopwargame/ and the community is amazing.
Thank you kindly sir (also for your awesome message <3).
After Essen I am going to make a concerted effort to make this happen and will report back / come query with you.

Don`t forget osprey black ops rules too
All in on L5R. Love it.
Just like Thrones you can’t make a tournament legal deck from one L5R core set. Instead you play with smaller decks. You can make two full tournament legal decks from three cores, though. It is just one clan you can splash into your conflict deck. The full L5R beta rulebook (it’s a beast) is available for download.
Come on Ben, it was not the sahara sand that made the sun shine red, but the ashes of the fires in Portugal!
That Thumbnail reminds me of a ‘Garbage pail kids’ sticker.
I dunno what you mean…..

Congratulations to @warzan, Andrea and new baby Jack. My 1st born is also called Jack, so Great name choice! Glad to hear Mum and Baby (and Dad) are all doing well. Look forward to hearing all about it on a future weekender.
40K Dice Masters seems a no brainer. The IPs are freely mixed by the competitive players so making it different would hurt sales.
I can’t conceive of anything worse than that idea (40K the dice game) so it is bound to be what they do.
Never fear Justin and team! Wayland and I will hook you up with the Mountain Dew and the 1st Infantry Division patch from here on our Army base here in Germany.
We are coming to Essen Spiel on Friday and will track you guys ( @thisisazrael and Ben/sexy furious and Justin ) down for the delivery!
If you have and idea on where you might be on Friday drop me a line.
They sell Mountain Dew in Castle Court in Belfast in that American sweet shop. Not sure if it’s the same stuff you can buy in America though
I think in America they sell Mountain Doo….
I was reading that Mountain Dew energy drinks are banned in Europe as one of the chemicals in it (brominated oil) is also used for making carpets flame retardant
The only Mountain Dew I’ve seen available here in NI actually comes from Indonesia or Singapore. The “real” stuff from the states does indeed contain chemicals that don’t pass EU food safety standards. I enjoy the taste of danger. – Colin
The stuff we have on the base here is the real stuff!
@Justin — After coming back from Essen Spiel you must compare and contrast it to GenCon. IMHO, the feel and format of those two cons are very different and it would be a an interesting discussion. As far as WizKids. I will keep an open mind but my experience with their customer service has been awful and I don’t look forward to purchasing games from them. Also, the quality of their miniatures IHMO are not very good. I do not believe they have a very good track record of taking existing IPs and making them better or advancing them. The… Read more »
It’s nuclear, not nukular.
@warzan i think you need to give Andrea a stern talking too that XLBS title card looks disturbingly like AZ has been naughty boy lol i give him ten out of ten though for making it disturbing, joking aside congratulations mate the real mccoy looks a little belter (must take after his mum)
