Happy Friday,
May you get all you wish for. I now its the Greatest movie ever made.
Flames of War starter sets frustrate me. I want to buy one, but there’s always one army in a set that I don’t want.
america vs germany, English vs italian and now russian vs german.
Why no English vs german?
IT’S THE WEEKENDER SHOWWWWwwww.
You should watch black sails @gerry I think you will like it.
Love Statuesques heads – I’ve used a load on my Tempestus Scions and they are great,
Great to see Statuesque featured. I’ve got all their toys, which really are charming one piece metal casts that are interesting to paint.
Love the new game mat book’s.
Robin of Sherwood was on ITV the music was made by Clannad the whole series ran for two series and at the end of the series two Robin was killed off. Series 3 replaced him with Robert of Huntingdon (Jason Connery). The character was not called the moor his name was Nasir. For something that was a similar vibe look at King Raven Trilogy.
Warren did get confused by the BBC kids show haha which in turn confused us. Just going by the names that Crooked Dice had given them by the way when it comes to the characters.
Good one guy’s.
I do like those Ragnarok dwarves, I’m very tempted with one eye on oathmark
The goblins are great too
Great choice for Indie of the week, I’ve backed a couple of their Kickstarters and they’re just bloody brilliant sculpts, full of whimsy and slightly terrifying undertones – as you say there’s a hint of Tim Burton in them that’s for sure.
Also, can’t believe I hadn’t noticed Tamurkhan up on Gerry’s shelf before, have you got a Monstrous Arcanum lurking up there as well?
Whole heartedly agree with @warzan with regard to Home Raiders. I backed the kickstarter as the concept started out with so much potential but as the campaign progressed and new factions were introduced none of them fitted with the original two protagonists.
It is the only Kickstarter I have nearly bailed out of at the 11th hour. Hopefully TTC will relook at the game as it was a great idea and just needs someone to rethink the factions.
That new FoW starter set looks pretty good. Not a fan of the new Star Wars Shatterpoint though.
(Also, no one tell @avernos that Asaaj returned during the original Clone Wars multi-media project, and surprisingly actually made it through the entire thing before disappearing with the proto-Captain Rex, Arc Trooper Alpha, in one of the final arcs of the Clone Wars comic)
I don’t count anything after they dumped Genndy as canon
Let’s see OTT use those head to make a female/mixed Space marine force and see the community react. There is precident. GW used to make female marines. They only stopped because male nerds would only buy male marines and so the shops demanded GW stop making women.
Every time there’s a new Flames of War starter set I end up deciding I need more Flames of War starter sets in my life. Great show as ever. Have a fantastic weekend guys!
I’ve been messing around a bit with Home Raiders lately and keep thinking what would make better additional factions. I keep thinking militaristic plastic army men and tiny fighting transforming robots who are confused that they are so tiny in our human space.
Happy saturday!
Yup, not gonna pre-order Star Wars Crisis Protocol, i’m with @avernos , i’ll be sticking with Legion! Stick with your factions lol!
Coast of Dread by Loke, i got it as soon as it got to my FLGS and really like it, except maybe the NPC cut out tokens… i have minis 😉
Deepwars looks interesting…
Thanks for the show guys!
Regarding the tank with the Corregidor decal, you might be interested to know that Corregidor was the final bastion of US and Filipino forces during the invasion of the Philippines They fought until May, 1942. The main US and Filipino forces had previously surrendered the Bataan peninsula in April. Corregidor and several smaller islands were proper forts with reinforced concrete bunkers that were supposed to guard Manila Bay. That didn’t work out so well so I find it highly unlikely any tank crew would ever name their tank Corregidor.
The new star wars game..is it just MCP but with Star Wars.. I hope it isn’t because man there are sides in that particular conflict and never the Twain shall meet.
we’re having to guess as they’ve not shown or talked about any gameplay to date, just vagaries. I think that they want people to buy it first and then realise they don’t want it after they are stuck with an open box
I got Flames of war when it first came out and love it, and then it just faded. I’m tempted to restart now
I can write what i want as no one going to read this. Not in cool and the gang
Hoping ShatterPoint will have more staying power than the other AM Star Wars games. They seem to run out of steam after just a few years.
Shatterpoint certainly is looking good..
