Happy Sunday!!
Happy Sunday Firster! 😉
Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday @blackspiral 🙂
Happy Sunday everyone 🙂
Happy Sunday Y’all!
Happy Sunday!
If Justin looks like Jamie Hymen then that cherry is well and truly popped…
For accommodation you could rig up hammocks in the studio
For Q Con not sure if its happening next year as the Student Union building where it’s held is being knocked down
Happy Sunday
Just to annoy Warren ( and I’m not looking for a T shirt) when you are mention a figure being XX millimetres then your not talking scales at all just the height of the miniature
For choosing a system to get models for I’ve heard good things about Squad hammer by Nordic Weasel Games. You can get it through Wargames Vault
@dracs Werewolf is really awesome as a teaching game. I’ve used it myself multiple times to great success. I’d be interested to check out the variants!
I would add that 40mm is quite popular
Happy Sunday!!
I’d challenge that FF list of Sam’s:
FF VIII
FF X
FF IX
FF X-2
FF VII
Any list that doesn’t have FFVI in is invalid by default. Sorry!
As for Sam’s list: X is awful, I agree VI is the best. VII is one of the better ones though (probably VI, IX, IV, VII, V, X, XIII, VIII, XV, I-III
Sadly I can only comment on the ones I’ve played, but how can you not have a place in your heart for X? That voice over work was a work of terrible brilliance ?
Of the one’s I’ve played…
XIV – Realm Reborn version
XII
XV
XIII
VIII
X
A Realm Reborn is great. If only my internet connection wasn’t awful I’d resub and get back on it!
Of course, pre-ARR FFXIV was awful, but we try not to think about that!
The combination of Tidus whining and Tidus laughing… Urgh.
But at least it wasn’t Emo Squall from VIII!
I think this goes to show that there’s nothing Final about that Fantasy.
I’ll get my coat. ?
All fade away into nothing compared to the mighty Legend Of Dragoon…
GO OUTSIDE?!?! WITH THE DAYSTAR?!?! What is wrong with you?
Bad omens when it burns the sky
Happy Sunday!
I use the word “overscaled” similarly how Warren explained it. Miniatures that are a bit taller, but generally get lumped to a more common scale bucket. For example, AB miniatures Napoleonics are 18mm, but are often used in 15mm Napoleonics gaming. They fit, because the proportions aren’t that much off. Similarly, 30-32mm is an “overscale” for 28mm.
Xyston are mostly 18mm now as well and Baccus are around 7mm
Something I’ve noticed this weekend. The Big Boss Man has forced his minions to not wear OTT shirts all weekend just to convice the audience (or perhaps himself?) he isn’t their evil overlord.
Okay folks I have one for you, which is discovered recebntly..
GASLANDS which is published by Osprey, and I guess we need to say without the use of Hot Wheels etc given thats whats USUALLY used?
Damn just reached the point in the show where the game GASLANDS is mentioned, cancel my challenge haha
I disagree @dracs .My list :
FFVII
FFX
FFVIII
FFIX
FFXV
Oh and Happy Sunday to all in this fine day 😀 .
Happy Sunday folks!
@warzan, No gerbils, but Biker Mice From Mars was indeed a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biker_Mice_from_Mars
has possibly the most metal kids show theme tune ever

Might be time to take a new look at virtual boot camps. If I recall correctly you brought it up at one point. It would be something I would be interested in.
@warzan, missing your length and girth this weekend. I thought shrinkage only happened in the winter.
A sci-fi skirmish rule set that I liked was F.A.D..It is a free rule set though, so doesn’t quite fit the criteria. My group wasn’t really interested so other than trying it myself, I didn’t get to see how it played with others.
Osprey games newest zombie game just came out a mere 3 or so days ago with no model line. ospreypublishing.com/last-days-zombie-apocalypse
