The weekend starts now!
Yeh. Justin is back.
Forest Dragon miniatures are great.
Yes , yes they are. Forest dragon is the first and so far only patreon I have backed and never regretted it for a second. Now have a painted Vampire counts army and a large wood elf army waiting for me to find the time to paint and now about to start the printing of a Bretonian army. The best $10 U.S. I spend a month.
I was to late for the wood elves. 🙁
I printed the whole Vampire Counts army in 15mm. They look great. It is a bit 15mms heroic scale but because it is fantasy I don’t mind the big weapons.
I plan for them to fight against my 15mm ancient armies.
Loving all the stuff that Forest Dragon is producing, extremely happy that there are retailers selling the models for those without 3D printers. The Heresy Lab KS is also very tempting.
happy weekender guys!!!
I need to win this, to split it with a friend. St Valitines ??
Happy Valentine’s Day, beloved partner, I got you US Airborne! 😀
It’s the Weekender! (and my wife’s birthday today) Double Happiness!! ??
Weekender…yay!
Judging by the show notes there is one Kickstarter reminder missing: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oakbound/the-grey-company
An ancient wizard, an elf with a bow, dwarf and four halflings. Do they a ring per chance?
No but as of today they have a goat!
The problem with Transformers Siege & Earthrise, is that it’s taken them 6 hours to effectively tell the first ten minutes of Arrival from Cybertron. The toys admittedly are great. Now I am hopeful for Kingdom, but I am massive mark for Beast Wars. You know what is some tip-top Transformers animation though? The Cyberverse Adventures series…. And another robot-themed game coming down the pipe is Mechatop – it’s a system designed for using mecha model kits, or even any TF toys you might have to hand (and handily the modern figures come with ports for using with the display… Read more »
And I see working through the video that @avernos is a man of refined taste and also opted for one of their not-Bretonian Knights 🙂
I have more than that, a scattered mix of all including a couple of the new lines also. They’re lovely
Same – I’ve got a load of their SF stuff, that quite lovely witch you pointed out, and more. So, so good.
Happy weekend guys & gals!
Minus a Ben but plus a Justin! Is it even though… 🙂
See you guys on XLBS!
I’m in for the Witch and Fire Heresy KS as I think the new citizens minis will fit in nicely with Dunkeldorf mins and Diehard Oldschool stuff to create a great range of NPCs for any RPG.
Lots of shiny minis on display here guys. The transformers aren’t my cup of tea, but the rest all looked fab. 10mm wood elves are calling….
Those trapdoor miniatures are great
Yay its the nutty squad weekenders.
this sounds great an very westworld’y in the good way guys.
trapdoor borrowers mash up?
Happy weekend everybody!
Wot – It’s the Weekend… again?!?
Axe guy in furry anorak… Johnny from the Shining?
I don’t remember him wearing the heavy coat, it seems familiar but I just can’t place it
Is it from Urban Legend?
you are the Legend, because that is exactly what it is
Better make sure my DM does not see this weekender. The Mimics from Axegrind will give him too many bad ideas for our campaign.
is that not Kurt Russell in the thing guys?
they’re always the killers not the heroes
say that to the poor alien? Lol
Why do kislevites look like Brian Blessed in Flash Gordon?
Flash. Ah ah.
Desperately trying to resist HeresyLab’s KS. The models are delightful and as Gerry said Bear cavalry would break me.
32mm Orks or chunky 28mm black Orks ? Hummmmmmm
Green orcs.
Lol.
Hur hur hur
your ok Justin warren harasses ben with the code-busters now.
I’m confused thought it was an episode of “Beards & Men” Turns out it was a program about wargaming. Very enjoyable all the same
Beards.
I think you’ll find that there’s a whole host of “Historical” miniature companies that had Polish Winged Hussars available DECADES before GW launched their “Kislevites” (as well as the accompanying Cossacks and Polish Foot troops). About the only thing GW did was throw in some oversized bears into the mix to make it “fantasy”. You don’t need to back this KS to get hold of your Kislevites, you can just search for “Winged Hussar” and you can find a multitude of minis already available in many scales.
True, like these https://store.warlordgames.com/products/polish-winged-hussars-boxed-set?variant=31469021626448 Now while they are nice the thing about the ones GW will be bringing out will be just how detailed and accurate the armour etc will be, talk about an historians wet dream! – For reals yo. I expect they have been doing research for this faction for some time, we’re talking at least a few days not just hours, with particular attention paid to the size of the bears 🙂 I’ll admit I do wish they had gone with brown bears but with some clippers and green stuff even these could be made to be… Read more »
Some here as well Lloyd ……

This range (and rules) do a FANTASTIC job for the period and covers everything from Central Europe to the Ottoman Empire, however they are in 15mm (so no good for Mordheim)
