Good luck Az! Mythic is a looking to be a good company with some interesting products, so I’m excited to see what’s coming from them in the future.
Grats on becoming a full-timer, Sam. =) Only one small step from a full-timer to a lifer.
I only wish i was in Northern Ireland to help you guys out. =/
Thank you @frostwolf 🙂 Mythic Games is still young at only two years old but I already know that they have fantastic plans and games for the future that I’m excited to be part of 🙂 Az
you will be missed Az, all the best in your future endeavors!
Incredibly appreciated @donlou 🙂 Az
Best of luck Az! Sorry to see you go, you’ve made such a tremendous contribution to the site and to the community but sounds like a great move for you.
Leaving the bank after 7 years was a scary move that worked out fantastically so I’m hoping this is the next step in long career in tabletop games 🙂 I know the office will be glad to have less spreadsheets to fill in 😛 Az
Good luck Az, Sam is a more than adequate plug for the Az-hole.
haha yea Sam is rocking it and I couldn’t ask for a better man to fill my hole <3 Az
… thank you?
Sad to hear Az is off, he really livened up things for me, but good opportunities should never be wasted. Can’t say that I’m interested in playing Fabled Realms it’s going to be fun to watch though.
Thank you @captainventanus – sincerely means the absolute world to me to know that the enthusiasm was well received by some of the BoW community 🙂 Az
Good luck Az, seems like you done good 🙂 You will be missed at BoW. Although I am sure Sam will be an excellent replacement.
haha hopefully I keep doing good 😛 Thank you very much @commodorerob #livebowawardshow Az
Best of luck in your new job Az, you’ll be missed.
Welcome full time Sam!
If you have too many trees you can always send me some 😉
Like a hole in the…. Don’t fret, I’ll be back with my MG hat on for sure 😛 Az
@thisisazrael What to say?! It seems like you just got here. Your infectiousness…uh…I mean… your enthusiasm for board games was just starting to win me over. I’m sorry to see you go, but so happy it is for a job that will suit you so well.
@enginseer I am totally okay with that adjective 😀 Better to join now because the board games are taking over and we never forget 😛 Az
Thank you so so much everyone for the lovely comments. It really is a dream job to be able to travel the world introducing people to new games and I was truly gobsmacked at being presented with the opportunity by Mythic Games. To think that April ’17 was my first time in BoW Studios at the Army Painter / Runewars Bootcamp and then it’s only been since August last year that I joined the team full time is absolutely insane. I fully expected to be with BoW for some time to come. I am INSANELY thankful for the position BoW… Read more »
good luck with your new job 🙂
Best of luck Az, I have enjoyed your enthusiasm and love of the hobby which you bring to everythig you have done at Beasts of War.
That means so so much to me, truly truly appreciate it @pschwag , thank you 🙂 Az
Big thanks to Az , can’t thank you enough for introducing my family to Splendour . All the best to you and the BOW crew .
What a game that is sir, I’ll definitely add that to my list of games shared pride 🙂 I have had Cities of Splendor for 2 months now without playing it, killing me! Az
On one of the winter tables I noticed several trees that were knocked over in a tangled pile. Leave them that way. We call that a ‘blowdown’ here, they occur a lot in heavy forests and even a seriously determined mischievous boy finds them nearly impassable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windthrow You can use that to create impassable terrain to break up the table and it will allow you to cover space with fewer trees. And creates a terrain feature that is very rarely used on tables I’ve ever seen. When I saw that blowdown on the table it really sold me on the… Read more »
WOOOT? I really hate to see Az leaving. Good luck to you and your future endevours. But seeing Sam joining you permanently makes more than up for it. So I guess it’s one happy and one teary eye 😀
FWIW, the Fabled Realms map is in the southern hemisphere. So the colder stuff is on the bottom of the map. 😀
Good luck Az, you’ll be missed.
@thisisazrael Good luck in the new role – opportunities like this should be taken, and I’m sure you’ll be as appreciated at Mythic as you are here! Don’t be a stranger!
Thank you so very much @georgesealy 🙂
Az
Ah man, your excited love for boardgames always got me stoked. Feels like you only arrived and you’re already leaving. Best of luck at Mythic. They’re lucky to have you.
Aww man, no words, just love <3 Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Az
This leaving thing is just an excuse to get out of painting isnt it?
I may have, literally less than an hour ago, gently packed away two primed Guild Ball teams and only last week handed off the last of my Blood Rage minis to be finished by my friend Lyns who painted every other mini in the box in the time it took me to do 5….. shush @torros ! 😛 Az
We’re excited to have Az as our new studio painter.
Did we not mention that bit?…
Oh I’m excited for the role, Halfords primers here I come! Az
that’s painting the studio … not the miniatures I’m guessing ? 😉
Yeah, a lot of interior latex in Az’s future. ;P LOL!
Thank you Az! Hoping to see you on the screen soon again. Sounds like an incredible opportunity, congrats and good luck!
Won’t be gone too long for sure don’t worry 🙂 Thank you for the kind words <3 Az
To be honest Az when you first joined you annoyed the shit out of me on the weekenders. you won me round and brought some good fun to the shows
Good Luck for the future mate
haha yea, I really wasn’t expecting to be in the big man @warzan‘s chair that often and I don’t think you were the only one, but thank you for saying so 🙂 Az
All the best Az! BoW’s loss is Mythic’s gain 😎
Your enthusiasm for board games is infectious so they’ve made a very clever move by hiring you indeed!
Welcome aboard Sam, I’ve always enjoyed your sporadic contributions from Japan. BoW will benefit from a little Far Eastern wisdom I’m sure 😉
I like to think that Leo and I will form an irresistible infection partnership of dual language pincer maneuver board game spreading awesomeness 😀 Az
@thisisazrael the lengths some people go to avoid a beer debt ;):P
In all seriousness congratulations mate, well chuffed for you, does seem to be the BoW career progression first @redben then you, guess its official then justins and dragins is the next mythic game…..
haha don’t joke, the research supports “Existing Community > Related Kickstarter > 8 Million Dollars!” 😛 I am very sure I’ll get the chance to repay at you at some point 😀 #neverforget Az
Best of luck in the new role, @thisisazrael – the success is more than well deserved! 😀 And great news about @dracs ! 😀
Thank you very kindly @oriskany 🙂 Az
Good luck Az, thank your for bringing all the great board game reviews to this site and introducing us to so many new games. It had become my favorite segment of the site. I am sure you will do well at Mythic and wish you luck.
Thanks for taking the time to comment now and every time @turbocooler 🙂 I have seen and sincerely appreciated all your positive words during my time at BoW. Az
Awwwww Az ….. *sniff. Best wishes mate I hope that life treats you well and wish you every success.
Sam will do great job but everyone is unique and the “Azness” you bring will the missed. Thanks for all you’ve done.
Aww @beardragon14 that is epically kind, thank you! I very much hope the same for you and hugely appreciate your message 🙂 Az
