We've got some great news to dive into this week as well and we'd love your feedback on everything we talk about on the show.
CMON Expo
This weekend sees Dawn & Gianna at the CMON Expo. They are going to be talking to the crew behind loads of their awesome board, card and miniature games and getting the scoops on what's new.
Make sure to get your comments in and ask them what you'd like to see covered.
Game Of The Week: Captain Sonar
We take a look at Captain Sonar which we seriously need to get on camera for a Let's Play soon. The game has two teams playing against each other to sink the opponent's submarine.
It is a game which can be played in a Turn Based mode but we reckon this shines when you've got this going completely live with all of the madness and confusion of people shouting orders to each other.

Happy Weekend everyone!
It’s Saturday. Saturday. Gotta get up for Saturday.
@warzan working hard…or should that be hardly working?
How about working hard at hardly working?
😛
Happy Weekend, everyone. 😀 Happy to say there’ll be some serious wargaming going on this weekend at Casa del Oriskany! 😀
Very envious mate! Have a good one and may your USMC dice bring you many great victories. As it’s my youngest lads 16th birthday weekend, the weekender will be about all I’ll be able to do.
Have a great weekend of hobbying, one and all!!
Wish him a Happy Birthday from sunny Florida, USA! Enjoy the festivities! 🙂
I’m sitting here Friday night listening about Hellboy in Mexico drinking some scotch. Not bad!
You are an inspiration to us all. Have one for me I’m heading out to work shortly.
I’m thinking Daimyō for the next faction.
It’s the Weekend!
oh yes yes – highlight of the week – the awesomeness of the weekender show 🙂 and super cool watch while on route to Warhammer Fest
Great show. As for a new faction of Godslayer I think a Babylon style faction would be cool. They could worship dragons as they were the first people in the world who depicted them first on the gate of their city. And sense they were they seem to be take races and mix them with non human creatures like the Troglodytes, they could have dragon or lizard like people for the faction.
Sumerians would be really cool, maybe Sumerian dwarves like the chaos dwarves of WHFB, but with lamassus and scorpion men (dwarves).
I like Godslayer, the unit/model activation system works so well. You have to pay attention of activating the correct units/models to get your synergies just right. And having unit/model cards makes it easy to know what everything does.
Is the big secret CMON game called Narcos?…It’s been all over the internet this morning
No that is not it. The big secret is….( Internet dies)
Noooooooo!!! Now we shall never know the secret of KFCs herbs and spices!

I really cant wait to get Leia on the table, Ive definitely been massively dragged into this game now!! Justin was spot on with the Mosquito, my favorite aircraft of all time. It was one of few operational front-line aircraft of the era whose frame was constructed almost entirely of wood and was nicknamed The Wooden Wonder. Unfortunately because of the wooden frame no originals are still flying. A couple have been built recently so i think theres 2 or 3 flying again but I believe they’re in the states. Originally conceived as a bomber but it forfilled so many… Read more »
I got lucky with Godslayer – the Halodynes already channel my favourite mythology. If you want a new faction, Japanese mythology would be a fascinating direction to take.
Friends pay attention! Greeks, ancient Greeks and Macedonians….are the same nation, Hellas nation. So, about Godslayer game (I dont know how they manage the factions but just to be clear to al the people here) when they speak about classical Greeks, ancient Greeks or Macedonians, we are talking about same nation. My comment is not so “gaming themed” but at the same time I know there are many history gamers out there and I believe is good to clarify some things here and there when we have the opportunity 😉 thanks.
Most of the actual factions appeal to me allready, and there are many great suggestions from our fellow-gamiacs, so it is getting more and more difficult to come up with something else. However, I still have a good one up my sleeve, and this is Indian, Hindi and the like sub-continent stuff. They have millions of gods, Shiva, Ganesha, the Vedes etc., all kinds of animal gods, tigers, elephants, crocodiles and so on, you name it, and finally they got some really freaky-styley steeds like floating cobras, giant blue parrots and what not. So this is my idea: Indian mythology.… Read more »
Did he say 3 hours a game??? I play Warmachine and 2 hours a game is often a little too long to fit in.
As for other cultures:
I like Bens egyptians, but that could be followed up later by the aliens that helped them build their pyramids.
You could also have Atlantean infiltrators or Atlantean survivors/refugees with their high tech.
I also like the idea of a faction inspired by a cross of indian and chinese mythology. Lots of man/animal gods and interesting demons and spirits. People with multiple arms and mystic powers.
Real time is the only way to play Captain Sonar. I advise getting a ninth person to act as referee on you first game or two.
Are you offering?
Round up seven other people and fly me over and I’ll happily ref
Godslayer looks really good, alas Woe and Calamity! I’m tapped out for this month, many family birthdays and saving for UKGX. A new Faction for Godslayer, definitely go with a Japanese theme. The Heavenly Empire. Ruled by a seemingly Immortal self-proclaimed God Emperor believed by many to be a Godquester who succeeded in his quest he now wheels that power to forge his nation into an unstoppable force and ultimately seeks to claim even more power and ultimately ascend to true godhood. Subfactions: Shogunate, Well armed and equipped baseline human troops led by elite Samurai some of if not the… Read more »
I would love to see an Aztec inspired. I think that would look ‘unique’ on the tabletop warrior wise but ‘techwise’ still compatible.
OK, I’m definitely sold on GODSLAYER. I had bought a Wave 1 starter box a few years back in some store’s fire sale, but never really got around to doing anything with it. However this sounds fun, and i like the aesthetic of the models – somewhat more restrained than many fantasy models, particularly in the size of their weapons. They are still heroic rather than true scale, but not very much. Lovely. When we are talking about missing factions, that’s a tricky one as they have so many bases covered already – so for instance I would like Picts,… Read more »
Bit surprised that there is no coverage this week for the “Legends of Signum” Kickstarter. Any reason for this ??
Only so much time for the show. There are countless kickstarters that don’t get screen time unfortunately. There are some I’ve raved about for weeks or even months and they pass under the radar. Still it has another couple of weeks so it may feature yet
I completely understand. Seems like we are spoilt for choice in relation to miniatures, games, etc. Show is great !!
I have some of the models already they really are lovely work.
im all about those Wyldfolk for Godslayer, WARP SPASM!
Glad I’m not the only one thinking irish myth has been criminally missed out. Riastrad ftw!
Godslayer looks cool.
They could add a Polynesian/Pacific Islander inspired faction. Island people with a warrior culture and a Pantheon of gods inspired by Rangi, Papa, Maui and etc.
Is it me, or is Warren looking more bedraggled than last week? I’m half expecting that next week we’ll see him sporting a big Gandalf-style beard and looking like some sort of wild hermit wiseman of the mountain. 😆 On Captain Sonar: • I’m disapointed in you Sam and your lack of folding abilities; I thought you spent time in Japan, didn’t you pick up any origami skills from the locals? ;p • Also don’t worry Sam, you’re not the only one who hasn’t got a clue what film Justin was on about (plus it sounds more like s mountaineering… Read more »
Quiet Wesley! And Picard was the greatest, I loved him in Star Wars.
You’ve got your franchisees mixed up! He was in Stargate, not Star Wars!
