Video unavailable it says…. YouTube LIES!
YouTube budged! It’s live!
No vid.
Oh man another weekender and me only with latex undies and the Greatest movie ever made.
Fifth Element?
The Godfather? Saving Private Ryan? The Shawshank Redemption?
Movies that are actually good and aren’t schlocky exploitation films shot on a shoestring budget?
Getting Covid from licking Justin’s head woukd be the least of my worries
It’s working now.
so … justin was an adventurer just like you, until he took an arrow to the knee 😉
I AM COMMENTING SO SUNDANCER DOES NOT WIN AGAIN
IT WON’T STOP HIM!
But we must try!
Also you need to comment on YouTube… not here…. just saying…
Don’t worry it’s been said there too. We will stop your evil winning ways!
By all means do!
“It’s only gone and become the bleedin’ Weekend again!”
Square bases @warzan …. SQUARE! BASES!
We tried to stop you
we tried to tell you “do not rebase”
😉
*giggles*
You can make round bases and fit them inside a square of the same diameter.
You can’t make square bases and fit them in a round base of the same diameter.
So :p
(besides … GW needs an excuse for you to buy more stuff. If they had told you to use square bases in AoS they probably would have picked round bases for the new WFB)
I can see WFB when it’s revised eating into Sigmar sales.
If you want Romans vs Vikings just look at the Saxon conquest – the Angles and Jutes came from lands that are now Denmark, by vacating they left the vacuum that allowed the Danes to inhabit the borders they have roughly maintained for over a thousand years. Worth remembering that prior to Christianisation a lot of those Scandiwegian/north German tribes all had a similar pantheon of gods, in terms of language, culture, art, equipment they all cross pollinated each other so not a stretch to depict pagan Saxons with a more proto-viking aesthetic as Ben says vs the Romano-Britons
I tried to get my RPG group to play in the Old World when the c7 rules came out, but there was resistance for GW behaviour in years gone by… during covid I get them into Soulbound somehow… But I miss the Old World… all that lovely chaos and plagues… or is that the real world now. Anyway… I used to play 2nd edition decades ago, one of the first two which they are not using for material because it was too ‘RPG like’… but a good two player starter might tempt me… It will probably be Empire vs Chaos…… Read more »
The Old World.
Really looking forward to this. I think it will be great again.
I think even Warzan will get a new army if he sees those beautiful new GW sculpts, even if he’s not interested now. 😉
For a modular 6×4 to fit in a box that big thats not a bad look
Go Go power weekenders.
Those WotR lads, holeee manma!
The Old World update makes a point of there being a number of factions in the Empire. Also, i thought that humans and the Empire did have magic before the elves taught them the colour method.
they had hedge wizards, but they’re described as being herbalists and healers and it was Teclis and his two companions that taught the few of these accompanying Magnus the simplest of battle magics.
Of course an Empire army with only healers would be a very different proposition on the table top.

WAR Of the Wurzels.
I always saw the miniatures in rank and file style games as little more than really expensive hit point counters that you have to paint. So, you may have 100 minis, but you really only have 3 or 4 models that just happen to have some great-looking hit point counters. I dunno. The stuff they’ve shown for Old World looks cool, but I don’t see a whole lot of people demanding a return to rank and file games. I see a lot of anger at GW for ENDING their rank and file game… but that seems to be more for… Read more »
but surely every model in every wargame is just a wound counter?
Hmmmm… This is also truth.
Maybe it’s just the way that a group of ten minis moving around individually vs a block of minis stuck in a formation that makes it still feel different to me.
I suppose it comes down to the type of warfare you prefer. For myself rank and file warfare is the pinnacle and it’s the loosely separated skirmishers that evaporate as soon as contacted in those games that only really act as moving terrain to protect your units moving into combat
@warzan whisky an vodka is a potion Firewater?
The cardboard beds are for sustainability, not to prevent nookie. So the Scandinavian high jumpers will be at it exactly as much as I imagine they are usually.
also happy World BDSM Day!
Crikey really? And I forgot to make a cake!
it is? Oh happy days…
where’s my whip..
that’s a fantastic set or terrain.
will work well for Dredd.
