It’s the XLBS Show……Happy Sunday Fellow CoGs!
And a happy sunday to you too sir!
Happy Sunday, have fun guys. Not got time till later to watch, long day in work.
For an arch villain I’d just go with the Hooded Claw
LOL Love it!
@warzan Have no fear, Horatio is here! You are already running 3D prints… here’s the Dead God from Rocket Pig Games. Put him on a clear acrylic rod as “floating” or a rod painted black and you’re set.

That’s a gorgeous mini. Thanks for that suggestion its a cracker!
I really like the model for the necromancer in Mantic Dungeon saga. He’s raising an undead skeleton through the floor, awesome.
And the opposite side is the metal Sauron miniature from GW.
Just to let everyone know; the Chinese did not have a Covid test via the ass, that was a joke made on Chinese Social Media which Western Media thought was true.
The Spirit Hosts break so easily…it really isn’t a good model for wargaming.
You sir have shattered my dreams of Chinese ass testing!!!!
And for the record – I flipping hate the spirit host models – absolute nightmare to put together!
What I think is worse is that the media in the West thought something that was essentially a meme on Chinese social media was true…lol
A 3D printed model of Imhotep from the Mummy films
Stick with or try The Orville, it’s an excellent show
@warzan Found a couple of options for your ultimate evil https://www.digitaltaxidermy.co.uk/mr-blobby-stargrave-crew.html
Or Northumbrian Tin Soldier do the Ultimate Evil from Time Bandits in metal https://www.northumbriantinsoldier.com/product/ultimate-evil-set-2/
Reaper Miniatures released some really cool kid adventurer models, each of which comes with a themed pet. They’re Reaper Bones and from the Bones V KS. I think they’d be great for the Hero Kids game.
If you didnt want to get a S ville stl or one for the other bad chap, you could look at the latest North Star apprentice necromancer. She appears teen aged and might be quite cool as the villain for this kind of game.
Remember to start small and slow, use protection and plenty of lubricant, preferable water based when using Lloyd’s ASS… ?
@brennon I’ve seen Sigmarines used as Ogres in Kings of War tournament videos. I got some from the 1st issue of Mortal Realms to convert to Ogre Palace Guard and combine with some of my old Warhammer Fantasy Empire stuff for Order of the Brotherhood (Spring clean challenge 2027?).
@lloyd ask Gerry about the Varangur for Kings of War. Your Draugr would fit into that army along side other Saga style miniatures. I’m a fan of using the same miniatures across multiple systems because I paint so slowly. Maybe I need to get on the ASS train.
00:00 Happy Sunday
00:15 Kot busters… go translate that have have fun with that
10:45 “…to get it out of the way..” he says 11 minutes in XD

1:00:15 Kack?!
1:01:15 round bases….
1:05:00 Butt Ding
1:12:12 What a “wanker”? XD
1:15:00 Traaaaaaaaaaains
Now back to bed.
Much love and speedy healing for Justin. You all have been a part of my life for a decade or so. You all need to stay healthy and hopefully happy, as I need a few more decades of entertainment and info out of you guys.
Glad to hear @dignity is getting better! Eat more veg!
@johnlyons recall that Oddball said his Sherman had been specially modified to be faster in reverse so that model is historically accurate. The movie Sherman is not.
@warzan There are a few Jason and the Argonauts inspired bad guys around. Also if you did go with a Greek theme if your world isn’t to bedded in with Hero Kids, Greek backdrop if you lead it that way gives you a lot of RPG scope with all the myths and legends, and years later, everytime one of your little ones saw Jason and the Argonauts, they’d think of those Friday and Saturday nights. Anyway good range here with bucket of bones leader, and you could get an Apollo for Justin 😉 check that model. https://www.wargamesfoundry.com/products/greek-mythology-king-aeetes-colchis-guards Your probably covered… Read more »
I’m pondering a spring clean challenge… blowing the cobwebs off the Grendier set of Fellowship of the Ring from back in 1985…

Painted Saurons Dark Ones long ago (badly)…

Round bases are wrong though. Someone should say it
NB: When talking about A.S.S Ben said “the ideas flow so freely” and then immediately hated himself
I am currently living in China and have been here for the past 6 years. The covid anal test is not a lie. Foreigners (like me) and Chinese were not getting them. That anal test was only reserved for the Japanese. The only reason why it stopped,was because the Japanese government got involved and requested the Chinese government to stop targeting Japanese citizens. China still remembers the atrocities that the Japanese committed during WW2 and this was their chance to stick it (literally) up the ass to the Japanese. My mates and I were all laughing when these news hit… Read more »
The sooner there is a OPR boot camp the better.
I feel @johnlyons pain about Kasrkin – I only have a second squad because my FLGS had a load of them on the shelf when I went in over my birthday. Not surprised they are popular though, people have been requesting the return of Kasrkin ever since the Tempestus Scions launched. Crazy how many spare bits you have left over though. They give you enough kit for double the number of Kasrkin as you get bodies. I’m tempted to look into ordering a load of spare bodies (ditto for Shocktroopers and DKOK) and just build a third squad out of… Read more »
Happy Sunday, Warren you have do a play through of “HERO KIDS”. The ASS system, the ideas that just keep running out of this are Just amazing!
Spring Cleaning Challenge, time to expand the War of the Ring army from last year, with some cavalry?
Been absent for some time but watching this again felt like seeing old friends, spring clean challenge feels like a good thing to return with so I just need to have a look at what I do.
