Sorry guys no Weekender again but we do have some news on the progress of our new home base studio, we've been working like crazy to get the space cleared and now our master craftsmen are setting up for the build. So with that have a great weekend and we'll see you for the weekender next weekend.
This video is private?
Sorry video was set to PM instead of AM
NIce going guys, looks a good size space. Not many people have a studio in their back garden 🙂
The space is ample, to be fair we could always use more space, but the purpose of this studio is not to be our final studio, but the core studio that regardless of what life throws at us we have a space that we own at the heart of Beasts of War. Myself and @lloyd think it’s better to go for something slightly smaller than the space we could rent (studio is costing us equivalent of 1 years rent) but as somewhere we own. Besides we’re a creative bunch here and I think we’ll even surprise ourselves at what we… Read more »
It all rather hits home just how much you folks have given up for Beasts of War – for us.
That’s your garden. You could have flower beds, a sandpit for the little one – anything. Thank you.
If you ever plan on having a studio 3 or whatever number it turns out to be in Canada you can use my apartment balcony free of charge.

What just happened with my post? Freaky double post add comment stuff…
Studio one… The future destination of the war gamers pilgrimage. The mighty @warzan said “Cometh and gather around, join us in our labour and toil, bring biscuits and all manner of sweet stuffs, for let it be known, that when this great work be done, let there be epic gaming, unboxings of precious things and many a product review, for we are the Beasts of War”
@warzan “I come bearing boxes of sprue aplenty” lol
I had to do the same think for my garden shed (still not yet ready as a gaming room after a year). THanks for the update guys!
Who is Mr Sunshine in the door at the end?
He needs motivatin’!
That is @johnlyons 😉 – Send him a friend request!
Is that safe?
By the state of Warren´s hairdo and Lloyd´s jacket it actually looks like you been working quite hard… Lloyd with brawn and Warren with brains. 😉
The challenges of building in January in Northern Ireland! Are you going to make it earthquake proof just in case they start fraking nearby?
EEE AYEEE ADDIO! WE WANT THE SHED-IO!
Warren looks stressed! Don’t worry bro. Take all the time you need. We know you guys don’t do nothing unless its done right.
Looks like hard graft. Worth it in the end, though.
Good luck!
Nice looking start to the job. I’d say it helped with loosing a few of those Christmas pounds. 🙂
As I say it looks well but a vigilant eye will need to be kept throughout to make sure the trades arrive and that it will be kept within budget I have full confidence though.
Beasts of War – live from The Construction Trenches.
Does this count as a dirty video? 🙂
Always a shame when there is no weekender…
I am so thrilled to see you guys working so hard on the new studio, a much better use of the time and resources this weekend. I look forward to seeing the final product!
I feel a tad guilty sitting here drinking my tea, seeing an update like this, however it has given me an idead to do a gaming “shed” carry on chaps!!
Thassa big shed. And didn’t you guys say that you’d picked one out specifically for height of the ceilings? I’m surprised you got building permission for it… maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned that!
I’m amazed you’re able to fit 4 studios in that space. – I’m guessing none of them would have a 6′ by 4′ table for demo games? Would you be doing them in your other spots?
4 sets, not studios, if you think about it the unboxing/painting set will be one of those and it’ll be relatively small next to any game demo set, then they’ll likely have a green screen in a corner for OTT or other shenanigans, and the main space will be taken up by the stripper pole.
you have nailed it.
Not all sets have to be big, and we’re brainstorming on how to make the main set a bit more modular.
And as always we plan on 8ft tables 😉
It’s okay to have smaller tables for the dancers Warren. 8 foot may be excessive for them.
lol
Looking good guys! Can’t wait for everything to be up and running but wait I will so that you guys get it all done right. We don’t want the new studio falling on your heads! Take your time!
Yes, yes thats right, stripper pole, essential at any gameing event, thanks for reminding me. Better rethink my layout for the garrage conversion.
There was also talk of @dignity Justin sliding down it in a mankini. I don’t think you should be thanking anyone 🙂
NOooOoo!!!!
I CANT STOP IMAGINING IT!!!!
Bad @huscarle Bad.
So the new counterpart to ‘On The Table’ could be ‘Up The Pole?’
All joking aside, this is both a major effort (physically and financially) and I believe, a shrewd move – independence, that most treasured thing.
Take this opportunity to study weathering techniques.
Good luck with it guys. I miss you but I do understand and I don’t envy you all of that hard work.
Have you guys received a preview box of Myth from MegaCon to unbox on your first show?
I watched this on Youtube and was the one and only “Elite” viewer:

Keep up the good work guys! I’m looking forward to see how things progress.
Lookin good. Now will Studio One be where you do your videos and such? Or will this be for special projects? Sorry if this was answered already, I haven’t been following the development of Studio One.
Studio One is for most of our core stuff, other stuff with manufacturers etc will be recorded in Nottingham, but FOWFTW with @lafayette for example will be created in Studio One
If you build it, they will come… Ughhh, sorry, couldn’t resist 😛
It’s just an excuse to get out of the gardening clearly. 🙂 Bravo chaps
