Happy Sunday!
Stayed up late for this! Happy Sunday to all!
HAPPPY SUNDAY
Happy Sunday
What is the drone at 00:10:13 from & where can I buy a few?
happy Sunday
The only way Nazi zombies could be cooler is if they were Nazi zombie sharks (lasers optional)!
Zombie and alien armies are the only things that would get me to play DUST.
Dust has never appeal, zombies and aliens somehow lessen the already non-existent appeal. Each to their own though.
Now for Zombie sharks to be on the battlefield would you need a zombie sharknado?
Nazi zombie sharknado? Make it so!
You relalise someone in hollywood is penning that as sharnado 4 now
Happy Sunday!
So, who is this’little German’ that John knows?
If you think that ‘The Walking Dead’ is just about zombies, then you must be watching it whilst ‘weathering’ your tanks and playing DZC at the same time!
I know it’s not, but yeah it may have been a poor example but it does get yawn inducing when they build up all this fantastic drama then the show goes “don’t forget zombies” and just kills someone for the lolz.
Happy Sunday 😉
Ah a nice Sunday enjoying the weekender XLBS lovely way to start the day.
Happy Sunday. I remember there being an article somewhere recently about Zombies being the safe choice for many a video game etc. in a world of political correctness.
Go all the way back to Wolfenstrein, Doom (91?) and beyond. I got fed up with many a good game set in an interesting time and place with meaningful human intrigue and conflict that halfway through suddenly became “oh no, the enemy is in league with dark forces – enter the undead zombie hordes”. WW2.5 should be good enough without resorting to weird.
As for aliens that Justin doesn’t like in WW2ish, but does like zombies, what about that great WW1 alien invasion game.
Hoiw does Justin feel about the aliens in WW Exodus – now as far as I’m concerned THAT’s a disjoint!
+1 on the WWE aliens. It completely detracts from the wild west feel. Mexicans? sure. But Aliens and full plate knights? Nope
Wild West Exodus has always been advertised as Wild West Sci-Fi. I thought it was weird, too (well, it still is weird I guess, lol), but the fluff gives it some sense. Oh, and WWX has zombies, too….including giant zombie snakes….with a 4″ melee reach. 🙂
WWE aliens? Just What is Sin Cara hiding under that mask?
Happy Sunday.
Happy Sunday, hobby section was great. Really like the PHR scheme and if I was ever to try dropzone they would be the faction for me. With regard to the 3D printer I have looked at a few of the cheaper options and I don’t think they are worth consideration for miniature printing – they might be fine for providing a doll to be touched up with sculpting material but they are not going to offer a final finish product. I love the idea but think realistically without a lot of cash it probably something for 5+ years away. On… Read more »
Happy Sunday.
I had forgot about that story of christian playing giant Jenga with the homeless guy Nice to see him on the weekender. Right back to my UCN army.
Happy sunday! I’m absolutely with John and Lloyd – Zombies all over get more and more boring. In some cases they can add a bit of horror to a setting, but I personally would never play them. Maybe it’s hard to identify with a brainless dead corps calling out for brains. Nazis, for my taste, are frightening enough if they’re alive, there is no need at all to make them zombies. The alien idea on the other hand is kind of cool. Over all a really great show and I love the paint job you’ve done on the vehicle Lloyd.… Read more »
Hehe, it was like Lloyd interviewing Merry & Pippin
Those PHR weren’t left over from a prize were they?
The new GW store in Tottenham court rd Has been branded as a Warhammer store,
The Newcastle store recently changed locations and names.
Happy Sunday! 30k is the nickname for the Horus Heresy, it’s the story of the Imperium’s civil war. So Marines vs Marines at it’s core, with the Imperial Army, Mechanicum, Knight Houses and Titan Legions added for extra flavour. The people complaining that their xenos army hasn’t been released seem to have missed the point entirely. At this point, the Orks and the Hrud had been purged from Imperial space, the Eldar were pretty much sitting back watching and licking their wounds, Tyranids and Tau hadn’t arrived yet, Necrons were still sleeping, and Chaos was taking it’s first proper bite… Read more »
the Orks and Eldar can still be in 30K the fleets were still Liberating systems so still a chance to meat them.
The point where the game is set is past the Great Crusade, so no the fleets aren’t liberating planets anymore – they’re turning on each other! :0
@olliep the rumours made a distinction between 30k and Horus Heresy – it maybe the same but it could be crusade era games – that is unknown. Apparently rules system will be different, it will be a stand alone box with models being available afterwards separately.
(meet) plus with them still expanding out new factions like the aliens that the future chaos marine’s meet may be in time?
“Big enough to take a rod up it”. That’s it Sunday’s peaked! Great show fellas
Roswell Incident was in 1947 which is when the current DUST timeline is set.
Was a bit painful watching the Heresy side. There was a massive Imperial army and the models are all the Auxila stuff on FW. Obviously the Ad Mech you went on to touch on later on.
Yeah I was squirming a bit too 🙂
Me too @oliep . I get tired of the old “it’s just marines versus marines” nonsense. Firstly, I don’t see anyone complaining that historical wargaming is all just humans versus humans. Secondly, it’s totally inaccurate. The Horus Heresy involved marines plus the Mechanicum, all the many and varied regiments of the Imperial Army, the Sisters of Silence, the Adeptus Custodes, the Titan Legions, knight households and the forces of chaos. FW’s Horus Heresy range has been such a huge success that it’s easy to forget that it’s only been around since 2012. It’s still a relatively new and growing range… Read more »
There is a basic truth to the “marines vs marines” though so it is not likely to have the diversity of factions that 40k has however…
That is not a bad thing, especially when the plot and writing is so strong and as you say there are a ton things yet to be explored within the legions.
I think it would be great to see this
absolutely, i think the marines vs marines gives a new depth and dare i say that awful word that bounces around too much ‘balance’? from a ‘fluff’ point its got something like 30+ novels and short stories which is a fantastic bit of background to boast on. Then expanding that in the absolutely stunning books that they have been doing. For me the only bit that got me a bit awkward was the blanking of the ad mech and solar auxilar. Those models have been absolutely outstanding from Forgeworld and they weren’t really put together for the bit on the… Read more »
@number32 @olliep @erastus I think we need to go on the show and set these guys straight 😉
Heresy boot camp Dave? 🙂
Fook yeah!
Now that’d be one way to force some progress on my sons of horus to take down some Ad Mech 😉
HaHa Dropzone and Dust at the start, I just painted my UCM infantry this weekend, and did more converting on my DUST too.
