It’s the Weekender! Very happy to see the ‘Rorke’s Drift Live’ happening this weekend. Those ‘Dark Forest’ trees and walls/fences will go great for ‘Moonstone’.?? Well now Dystopian Wars has something that will get me to buy in….that ‘Hochmeister Batttlefleet Set’ looks so great! I can really see me with a set or two of those. ??? Wasn’t the names of the brother and sister that fought together ‘Vax and Vex’? ?? Wow I really want to back that Kickstarter ‘Treasure Island’, but why do I feel guilty like I would be cheating on ‘Firelock Games’? What to do, what… Read more »
The Dark Forest stuff is great – really evocative
I enjoy being referred to as Warren lite. Warren+ gives me the impression there is a streaming service just following warren around all day… which I also like
Have fun tomorrow!
Good evening… I’m going to paint some pith helmets! ?
gimme a 1….yeah
Greatest movie ever made and the weekender lets come out of the closet together and use our thumbs
At least they’re not exploring the ass wastes 😉
Löschen! Sounds like leshen… but means “delete” or “put out” regarding on what context…. Data or fire… so…
Wakaluba! 8)
Happy weekend. Beowulf and Grendel is on Amazon Prime. Might have to re-watch it soon. That Kromlech terrain looks really nice. Yes to exploring more of the Dark Souls world, no to the grind. And yes, as someone who’s played through each of the three games at least five times, rolling is a must @avernos . I played the original Necromunda back in the day but never got into the recent version. I do have a box of one of the gangs and they certainly are better priced than a lot of other GW stuff. I’ll be keeping an eye… Read more »
I think it will be fascinating seeing how they deal with that “live, die, repeat” essence of Dark Souls on a story level for sure.
Dux Bellorum by Dan Mersey is one of my favourite rulesets so keen to have a look at Penda
Also love to see Copplestones work . Been an admirer since his Grenadier days
Mersey has done some great stuff for sure – Battle Ravens is one of my favourites 🙂
I keep that mixed up with Glutter of Ravens that he wrote years ago
Where is the show? Someone has stolen it
Yeah. I had to lower my standards and use you tube

TIZ WEEKENDER Time
I can see Gerry saying have you tried switching it off an on again ?
dark souls does sound very Bloobrayne like which I loved the PC game an the film.
Lol Ben their nice but their not my army nice.
They’ve done fish elves, that’s ticked that box for another 30 years.
was that not tom baker Gerry?
Can’t wait to see the battle report. Welcome to the weekend everyone!
Loved the show guy’s.
It’s the weekend! and while it should be a club weekend; my mate Jamie, who I usually catch a ride with has tested positive for covid, so it’s another painting weekend. Finishing off the Blue Nosed Bastards, and doing some Team Yankee atm.
Age of Sigmar needs Brettonians back
They are back – they just turned into flesh eating ghouls 😉
GW makes creates outstanding settings and great models. Sometimes they make good rules sets but most of the time they are average or worse. They nearly always make garbage campaign systems. Whatever they make, they will do their best to make compatability almost impossible even within the same IP. Imagine how awesome Necromunda could be if you could use those rules for Kill Team, Gorkamorka, Space Hulk, Shadow War Armageddeon or any other skirmish game they’d made over the years? Why didn’t they prepare the community for vehicles in Necromunda by creating a Necromunda compatable Speed Freaks? Why not make… Read more »
Ah man I’m really interested to see where we are headed with the Ash Wastes.
With the Phoenix, Bens mind was at most 5 seconds behind mine.
Happy weekend!
Great new Nighthaunts minis! I want them!
Evening all
