The Busy Gaming Space For GKR: Heavy Hitters!
The booth for Weta Workshop and GKR: Heavy Hitters has been busy all of the convention and it seems like people really do like big stompy robots.
The game is quick and fun to play with some fantastic looking models and a nice aesthetic. It's worth taking a closer look at this one.

A Tease Of Star Wars: Legion Gameplay With Ben & Gianna
Ben & Gianna decided to sneak into the vendor hall just before close to try and get in a few rounds of Star Wars: Legion with Fantasy Flight Games.
We have had a lot of fun with this and while we had a bit of a technical snafu towards the end of the game as the hall came to a close we hope this gave you a taster of the mechanics in play here on this wonderful Endor board.
Ninja Division Celebrates Chibi With Painting Contest
If you love your chibi minis and you're good with a paint brush, then you'll love the fact that Ninja Division was hosting a chibi painting contest! There were so many lovely entries being judged by some of the finest painters in the industry- with adorable chibi trophies too.
Anvil Eight Talk Aetherium & More
It's time for us to stop in with Anvil Eight to talk to them about the world and game of Aetherium as well as what else is on their plate here at the event.
With plenty to get excited about they show off what you might want to keep an eye on in the near future.
Dark age please!!!!!
Pandemic Legacy S2, please. If you could film yourselves getting the prologue demo that would be outstanding 🙂
last day so do what you want rather than what we want
Don’t listen to this man. He’s gone crazy….
Any previews of Scythe Expansion with the airships?
When are you going to get to the ‘Bob Ross Art of Chill’ game?
More Star Wars Legion! A Lets play, interview with FFG staff or just maybe peoples reactions as they are playing the demo.
We have a bit of a teaser coming up for Star Wars: Legion showing off some of the mechanics.
We had an unfortunate technical issue but we caught most of our short game intro.
Need Wrath of Kings info.
Some dark age or relic knights pretty please
I know you talked to Dave Lewis, from Hawk Wargames yesterday, but I was wondering if it would be possible to get a teaser or short demo of Dropzone Commander 2nd Edition. At least something showing off what they have so far for new mechanics would be neat!
I hope you 2 had a great trip.
WOT!?! Day 4 already? But you’ve barely scratched the surface!
I think that BoW should send a few more people to cover it 😉
Those wyrd minis are great!
If there is still time could you swing by Dream Pod 9 and Ironclad games? Would like to see what’s happening with Heavy Gead Blitz, Jovian Cronicals, and All Quiet on the Martian Front. Thanks.
I am sat on the sofa looking forward to a good catch up.
great coverage of the con, thank you BoW team for your efforts
I liked the interview with Adam, that Oblivion Mosquito is fantastic 🙂
Did I miss it or was there no coverage for Wild West Exodus
Thank you guys for all the coverage!
Thanks for all the fantastic coverage guys, made my weekend
I second that. The coverage has been fun. Hopefully, there more in the can, that might release over the next few weeks. Demos of upcoming games, for example.
Thank you for Gencon coverage
The Donner Pary ad is rather horrifying…
I really need to get to GenCon one year. Wonder if the wife would like a holiday in Indianapolis….
This was awesome!
Was great to meet some of the B.O.W. crew @ Gencon! Still didn’t actually verify that Ben isn’t just a head and a torso… but everyone else seemed alright =p
