Weekender: Competition Winners & 100 To Save Us All?
January 30, 2016 by warzan
We're sorry but we've had to skip the regular Weekender as Justin is using all of the cameras to film Wolsung SSG content for the website! However, we do have some updates for you...
Competition Winners
We are announcing the competition winners who got their hands on an Age of Tyrants diorama from Angel Giraldez and the four original Art Prints by Wayne England.

Congratulations to those who won and we hope that you go and check out the Kickstarter going on right now for the game.
Article Spotlight
As well as that we highlight two article series that are running this week which include the French & Indian War series looking at battling out some scenarios using Muskets & Tomahawks.
We're also looking at the Naval Wargaming series which lately went into detail about how to fight out Cruiser Actions in the Pacific theatre.

Poo. This is why I stay up late Friday nights. Someone buy these guys a camera!
OK, i changed my backstage subscription from monthly to annual. Hope that helps, guys.
Failing the 100 club, you could do a donate to Camera Fund and offer something special to this, like a mention in 1st program filmed with them, or a prize draw for those that contribute, such as a painted model (from BoW collection).
This wil enable inject of funds from those of us all ready in Backstage, without having to change Backstage status, just an idea.
Anyone who wants to ‘donate’ a backstage pass (we gift these to folks young and old who for whatever reasons can’t currently afford one) can do it here: http://www.beastsofwar.com/donate-backstage-pass/
This helps us, but genuinely helps others out too
🙂
Please donate to me a backstage as I was a former member. The wife has cut out all gaming expenses until I finish painting everything. BoW was added to the chopping board as a result against my will 🙁
If you can come over to my place in Toronto, Canada and plead my case that a backstage is worth every penny, that be great Warren.
If your strapped these days then pm me for sure 🙂
If its the missus being mean… Well we may need another plan… Flowers and milk tray? 😉
Hey, I’m from Toronto as well! I’m about to see if I can convince the missus to let me upgrade the subscription now. Wish me luck! 🙂
What sorts of games do you play and whereabouts do you play? I’m in the northern reaches of the GTA – the Markham area. Not much places to play but I’m working on changing that. I’m starting a local gaming thing at a community centre in the area.
Just asking, @warzan – is there a way to “select” who gets the donated backstage pass? There are a couple of people with whom I am really great friends on the site but are not Backstagers, I would gladly donate at least two annual Backstage accounts if I could get them onto Backstage.
Failing that, I might just set up another Backstage account for the other voices in my head. What arguments we could have on the site! 😀
Yes if anyone wants to gift some one a pass just pm me the names and we can add the passes to their accounts 🙂
We can just keep adding to their time too (in case someone is lucky enough to get passes from multiple sources)
Done
Annual pass donated. Hope it helps.
Happy Weekend!
Well, that was short and sweet!. Can’t help im afraid at this stage, wallet still groaning from xmas – good luck with the fundraiser
we can’t film a weekender we’ve got no camera,.. they say sat infront of the camera at the very table they film at with Ben on the screen, lol and Jason how very dare you correct anyone else on their pronunciation! you will never live down the eunuch fiasco! 😛
After Age of Tyrants KS is over, I will up my monthly to Annual, was planning to anyhow!!!!!
Well there goes my plan to watch the weekender on the train to the DZC tournament… Lol
Oh be warned.. @warzan s kisses are stubbly as I discovered at the DZC Bootcamp.. I am still having the nightmares and regular treatment.. Hahaha
Lol
Funny how I was talking about my plans to join Backstage after shifting some of there subs around earlier at work and your call out has made me move all the faster.
^other subs
How does one go about changing from a monthly to an annual subscription?
No idea
Unfortunately I don’t think there is any easy way to do this mate.
Is it if of any use to you for existing members to switch or do you need 100 new members? If it is of any use to you is the only way to do it to cancel and resubscribe?
It’s a drive for 100 new members (if we can pull it off lol)
I don’t recommend cancelling as it resets your ‘start date’ and then stuff like the hazard etc will not work correctly.
(The whole paypal thing is very !inviting in this respect)
Cancel the monthly payment, then buy an annual one when it expires?
@redben “great minds think alike” or “fools rarely differ”? 😉
Hmmmm… that’s a nice table you’ve got there.
Oh? I take it that filming has taken one, or twelve more takes than it should but on the plus side………loads more outtakes of @dignity right royally cocking it up!!
Only joking Justin 😉
Loved that last Wolsung coverage and this time around I might just have the funds to dip a toe in.
see you all tomorrow 🙂
I was just about to blame Justin for ruining my weekend ;P then found out I won a prize, so all is forgiven 😀
Weekend… already? Hurrah!! Guess I have more of it left thanks to you 😉
I didn’t know you could do annual.
And wouldnt it get more memebrs if you threatened to kiss anyone not signing up for annual pass?
Well all I have to say is definitely a one tea show Subscription due soon and I will try and make it for the year again. It really is worth it forget the weekend stuff there is so much more to it in content you just get extra that has to be worth it annually, the weekender is just a rather sweet red glossy cherry on an extremely large cream bun. (Sorry for the food reference but I am on a diet it happens to be something I have a lot on my mind and not on my plate lately… Read more »
Lol
I’m on a only eat between 9 and 5 diet, its working but I’m like bear with a sore head in the evenings resisting my caveman instinct to snack on meat by the fire lol
Oh I know what you two are talking about… I miss eating burgers 🙁
Wannabe backstagers don’t worry too much about the initiation ceremony. Just pucker up and close your eyes it seems.
…just send them over to us!
…And then pucker up and close your eyes.
I don’t know why I even click the link anymore, this is all too common these days.
You will love tomorrow’s show I’m sure @tinfish 🙂
@warzan your such a tease, here I am in me Jim jams settled down with a big pot of tea and wargames dog then you promise kisses to new folk and then pull out prematurely………..what will I do now?
Lol
Need pics of wargames dog!!! 🙂
Once you have the extra cameras … wouldn’t you need more people to film ?
I wonder if the next fund raiser will be to clone Warren & co …
/me not sure whether that’s a nightmare scenario 😉
Just paid my annual amount.
Come on Y’all
Just paid for a 2nd Annual fee.
I have always wanted to give more, now I have
For the ambiance look. Have a look at the “vintage light bulbs”. Could work for the steampunk theme. Just a thought. 🙂
Darn! I was all stoked to watch the show! Well at leat i got to see that amazing Wolsung table!
