Happy Sunday
Happy Sunday! Hilarious start to the show. Loving Az what a great addition to the team. As for your odd ocean noise I would assume it was Cthullhu awakening from his long slumber but it is more likely that the noise is a baleen whale call.
Happy Sunday! I ask myself, “why do I watch this stuff?”………………and the answer is………….”because it’s stupidly FUNNY!” It replaces some of the harmless innuendo (in-your-end-O!) That used to be prevalent in Carry On films, et al. Thankfully, the politically correct police have no jurisdiction on BoW. Keep it up boys! (Ooooo errrr, missus!). ; )
Funnily enough, a kaiju game is on my MG wishlist
Happy Sunday guys,
Well done to Justin for eating that snail. Not a chance I would have done that.
I really like Az’s idea where one of you is a Turninator.
I would like to see Formula D taken on by FFG. I like the idea of them taking a really good and solid old school board game and modernising it.
Warren there is something inherently wrong in drinking water from a beer glass.
Have a great week everyone.
Happy Sunday!
When looking at that picture purporting to be of a giant egg, I am minded of the classic Father Ted excerpt… except in reverse:
“No Justin…again. That one big, this one very close!”
It would be interesting to mix Justin’s game (Saga) with Az’s company ( Mythic). Indeed, when Mythic dared ask their MB:P backers “what next?”, the overwhelming response was ‘Mythic Battles:Asgard’. I.e. Mythic’s take on the Norse gods, trolls, heroes etc. Clearly JoA is next, but I do hope that their take on the Norse lore would be epic.
Although Saga has a charm in its own right with its non-fantasy setting and particular quirky activations using the dice boards.
Happy Sunday.
Happy Sunday!
“You’re horn is too big for the camera”
-“That’s what she said” 😀
Missed you guys 🙂
I would do a dual swap. Give Dungeons and Dragons to Games Workshop and give Warhammer 40k to Wizards of the coast.
I would revive the old game The Dark Tower and give that to Mantic, I would also give them Hero Quest.
How’s about giving X-Wing to GW? What those boring space ships definitely need are more spiky bits and skulls!
Funny enough, back in the 80s GW were approached by Lucasfilm who asked if they wanted the license for Star Wars minis, and Ansell had the team sculpt up some SW minis in the then Citadel style knowing it would put LF off, and it did. There’s photos of the Stormtrooper they did floating around online. West End picked up the license instead.
Lucas also approached Marvel about doing a SW comic back in 76 which the weren’t particularly interested, but did it, and it wound up keeping them in business in 77.
For Space Hulk, I would give that to 4Ground and see what we get from them.
Megacon games is another one that has more or less folded. It was just a few guys that love designing games and had a couple marketable IPs, but they aren’t business people. We will continue to see the rise and fall of smaller companies as they find success with new games, and failures in one of more of the other thousands of aspects of business. I am happy to see BoW continue to thrive in the industry and it can serve as a reminder that you don’t have to be owned by Asmodee or some other business with pots of… Read more »
And warren’s horn caused many a man to burst out in laughter…
Happy Sunday all! Re: the kickstarter table, I for the first time ever was super interested in this, I know $699 was a lot of money for such a thing but I thought you know what its everything i wanted in a table. Something I have been after or thinking about doing for years now… but then I saw the price almost doubled with shipping to the UK! $699 for the table and then $500 shipping… now left disappointed! Great show as always, starting to love Warren loosing his composure! haha whats happened mate its normally so great when you… Read more »
To be fair to the KS — These are the shipping costs to the UK from the KS page
GAT-44 – $250
GAT-54 – $250
GAT-64 – FedEx (4-days) $673, Polonez Air (18 days) $204, Polonez Sea (5-8 wks) $118
The cost is about the same if something of 60lbs to 75lbs is being shipped from the EU to the USA. I am not saying that it is still not expensive but it should be made clear the costs.
I am sure Warren is very happy with his horn holder. It must be quite heavy when it’s full and put quite strain on the hand and wrist. Much better to have somewhere he can put it down for a few minutes so he can get his second wind before grabbing it up again and finishing off
Scary how well you know me lol 😉
The big blob that Warzan was suggesting is an egg could be hundred of thousands of eggs instead of one. Here’s a similar one found a few years ago that was a massive collection of squid eggs.

Wait, so you’re saying it’s not one giant octopus, it’s hundreds of thousands of giant octopodes! :O
yes. All waiting for Justin to eat them.
You sir can have all of my no today…
Halo Ground command to Battlefront. To see how this game would feel and play with the rules system like Team Yankee.
Like Justin said I would replace the terminators in Space Hulk but not with an inquisitorial group but with space pirates. Then you have the possibility to introduce other races as well.
Happy Sunday. Well it looks like Glooping sound is Great Cthulhu waking up and the gelatinous spheres are his children the devil fish and getting ready to reclaim the world after his great sleep.
There actually was a Magic boardgame a few years ago based off of Heroscape. Didn’t do so well. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/167698/magic-gathering-arena-planeswalkers
As for what mixup or change I guess I’m a boring person as if I like a game enough I see no reason to have someone else try their hand at it and if I dislike a game I don’t care enough about it to have someone else try it over again. Spent the whole video think of this and nothing really comes to mind.
@warzan – you need one of these in your life for the early morning 3D printing caffeine injection.

It’s a horn. It holds coffee. And it has holders for the desk and the Viking uniform!
@warzan The Final season of Vikings airs on Discovery on Nov. 29 here is the Comic Con Trailer.

Sorry History Channel
Apparently Vikings will be getting a sixth season.
Happy Sunday! The beginning of the show was epic, I couldn’t paint for good 10 minutes after all the laughing 😀
The IP swaps… damn you guys, now we want those games! As someone who spends maybe 90% of one’s gaming time with either Hawk or Warlord games stuff, both @warzan‘s ideas are pure stuff of dreams for me.
I hope it is just an egg, my first thoughts was sperm! 🙂
Warren and Az are exactly the right amount of bad influence on one another 😀
I would like to see Warzone Resurrection in the hands of maybe CMON. Dark Age and Wrath of Kings have very nice product lines and regular releases. Prodos make nice minis, but a bigger company could bring out more from the Mutant Chronicles IP. Also I would like to see Dystopian Wars and Legions in the hand of someone who can resurrect these games, and make them great. Especially Legions.
An older for me obby orn? Lancashire wants its dropped aitches back.
A lot of other channels would’ve edited out that fit of giggles. Don’t ever change, lads. Don’t ever change! 🙂
