Happy Weekender! It’s Saturday and that means time to check in with the OTT team and find out what’s the latest in the world of gaming. Oh how I envy those lucky 10 gamers that get one of those limited tickets to the Warlords: Bolt Action Korea event. I really need to get my order in for that new German D-Day book from Battlefront. I was trying to hold strong and only focus on the American forces this time around. But with the timing and spacing of the release dates for the new books from Battlefront, there really is no… Read more »
Do we think AI coming out will delay any hopes at a new BFG line?
I hope so!
that’d be cool but let’s get this new game arrive, out of the box and painted first 😀
Nice intro gents.
I am very tempted to get into flames of war. I know my son wants Brits so I might need to do Germans.
Happy Weekender!
Great show.
Really looking forward to getting my German D-Day book and cards.
Going to check out the launch day in the morning.
i must say you all have great enthusiasm about gaming, you certainly get me interested.
It’s the Weekend!!!
Happy to see AI return.
Nyoooooooooom dakka dakka dakka
Happy Weekender!
Looking forward to this weekends show!
Aeronautica looks so good.
Nice to see Ryan back on the show.
The command cards for FOW sound interesting, good to fill up those last points that are left over.
I would suspect the environmental impact of everyone printing their models at home would be much bigger than those associated with mass production, and that is even before you take into account the impact on creating a greater demand for corn. I hope we have learned from the mistakes of the biofuel craze in the 00s and associated changes in food prices around the world, not to mention the negative environmental impact it had as well. Imagine how much of the Amazon Gerry would have to burn to get enough land to produce enough corn to print all the models… Read more »
AI is back again!
Aeronautica looks awesome, with nutty Orks flying around in death traps ??
Good show, guys! Thanks a lot.
Cheers!
Thanks a lot for the show, guys, it is always a jolly good fun!
Cheers!
Aeronautica Imperialis looks great, like most GW stuff and what I have seen from the rules so far sound good.
But I would like to see other races before committing to another GW game as I would like to see titans from other races too because some of my friends don’t wan’t to start it because it’s only imperial models.
Can’t wait to get the Gotrek model but @avernos your absolutely right it could be anyone!! I’ll be sculpting an eyepatch on there whether it’s story or not just make it my that bit more of the Gotrek I always liked, I would chains if. Could, we’ll have to wait and see how brave I get, maybe I have chain link small enough….
Happy Weekender!
Hope there will be many more factions for Aeronautica Imperialis.
Aeronautica looks awesome. I hope it lasts long enough to get more factions in it as many of the Xenos races have very cool looking aircraft designs.
Finally the weekend ?
I welcome the return of Gotrek and I’m sure Felix will return as well somehow! I might paint his left eye black tho..
The nose ring probably got torn out during the transcendence to the new realm ?
As avid Patrick O’Brian reader and Warlord junkie however, I’m particularly excited about Black Sea
Those ships look super cute and the slightly bigger scale hopefully means even I will be able to get them rigged. And of course..TRAFALGAR ?
This is so destined to be a bootcamp event guys!!!!!!
Crossing the T in Coleraine ❤️

We agree – so we are taking it on in the store – and its up for preorder now mate
https://store.ontabletop.com/product-category/black-seas/
damn it … my wallet will hate you guys if you keep adding more stuff that I might want.
If it hadn’t been for backing oak&iron I might have been tempted.
It would be nice to see a comparison. O&I does appear to be set in an earlier time period than black seas.
And there is not Dutch fleet …
Gee, and here I was hoping for an event around Oak and Iron from Firelock Games which is coming out in the late fall that uses 1/600 scale model ships. It links perfectly to Blood and Plunder also from Firelock Games.
(in fact, there seems to be a lot of similarities between the games. Leaves me scratching my head).
I think O&I is set during the golden age of piracy (we’ve got Michiel de Ruyter – 17th century), whereas black seas is closer to napoleonic era (18th century).
I am not sure though.
The pre-order boxes show what appears to be a reel of rigging line as part of the standard set.
So … it looks like they expect people to do that.
Hardly expecting..more like proving the tools and encouraging folks to try by doing so. Well done I say!
?
I like the look of Aeronatica gameplay… I am tempted…
But I’d have to paint the planes up as Spitfires and ME109’s…
Or maybe… combine the Blood Red Skies minis with Aero bases…
I still don’t know what faction to run in Aeronautica Impirialis. But I’m thinking magnets may be involved in assembly
