This time around we're going to be taking a look at a choice by Warren for Indie Of The Week. We're looking at the work of Adrian's Walls who produce a selection of awesome terrain for throughout the ages.
As well as producing terrain they also offer services where they paint up your terrain for you.

Still not used to this appearing Friday night.
Thankfully it’s still here on a Saturday morning 😉
Now that GW blew up Cadia does this mean that the Cadian Imperial Guard (the “default” imperial guardsmen for over 20 years now) are no longer the poster boys of the guard?
Time seems ripe for GW to redo the guard with a new “default” imperial guard regt, I wonder what this could be?
They could (should) go back to the original default, Necromundans in jump suits, with some bomb collars to make penal legion.
Ahh I had 40 of those penal troops (they didn’t even have the upgrade to get a knife), and it’s still the worst decision for the right reasons that I made to sell them. And I had about 120 of the original plastic Imperial Guard. I remember painting up the Officers in Austrian Napoleonic Dragoon colours and even used Austrian Napoleonic flags for the standard bearers (they really did fit in). They had a quasi Napoleonic feel to them back then (just look at the original box art). Then I had 40 Rough Riders….why oh why did I sell all… Read more »
As I look at the intro, could I ask what you used for the lighting strips in the gaming room (they look like LED ones). I’m “trying” to come up with a way to light a 6′ by 4′ table with a dismountable overhead light (and failing), but a good (and cheaper) LED lighting strip would be a start 🙂
EDIT and can we hear of Ben’s review of his new intro segment 😀
I am…impressed?
I’ve heard rumours that for substantial sums of money or their own combined bodyweight in ANZAC biscuits and lovehearts they will remove it
FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY!!! Ain’t got no job but got plenty of models to paint!!!
I got one of those Giant Books of Battle Maps for my friend’s kids for Christmas.. and now I definitely want them for myself!!! lol!
I forgot this was on on Fridays now
It’s the early-bird special “Weekender”!
(can’t believe I didn’t remember that this is launching early, {for here in Kansas any way}
Loving the “World War III — Battlefront” coverage.
I’m feeling spoiled with another free STL file. Thanks team OTT. ??
Want to see how it turns out for folk
hay guys the royal navy has plastic ships.
One thing not mentioned with Firelock Games and the Blood & Plunder stuff is that they are ALSO currently doing 3 different “firestarters” for new metal sculpts for North American Indians, Canadian Militia, and trained Indian soldiers with guns. So if you are looking for some of those models BEFORE the kickstarter gets going, check them out on the firelock page.
We have mentioned this in the news and on the show before so no worries
Well – that’s my Saturday morning freed up 😉
love the game map book.
I really hope fro some big new releases for 40k factions. It’s about time. Trying to get my hands on a Big Book of Sci-Fi Battlemats, but they’re sold out all the time.
I think we’ll get some big new Orks soon
the delve game could you use the dungeon map book for that?
No as you need to draw out your dungeons in Delve
Shame.
Loving the Friday night posting of the Weekender. Gives me a chance to watch it with two little ones running around.
Blood & Plunder plastics? Looks a little like the Guild Ball route but it will be easier to cart so many more figures about. This thing you say about ships intrigues me… tell me more.
Engage!
weekender time…..little to early…but better than nothing….cool terrain
“Nobody likes spikey bits”.
When he’s right he’s right ?
A very fine surprise in a hotel room far from home…great topics, very useful. The news from Team Yankee, Modiphius and Privateer Press is very interesting. A great show, really, even if the intro to the game mat segment is still mildly disturbing. I find the 3D printing amazing, but I am so far behind the curve I am still waiting for a “Gerry Can Show You the Best Airbushes and Compressors” segment! Thanks for a great show.
I think John has already been working on those. At least of use and maintenance.
I’d trust him over me as far as the airbrush knowledge go.I’m still at the point and swear method of usage
Lovely Maps – always useful to have as a Games Master 🙂 PS gave up watching your show on YouTube as it was stopping every 10 mins for ads!!
Have to get on those map books.
Happy Weekend y’all! That dungeon kit is sick!!!!!! Would love that. Contrast paint that bad boy and it’s on!
Yeah contrasts would be great for terrain!
I hadn’t even considered contrast paints…finally I may have a reason to try them
Richard couldn’t get to Jerusalem because of spiders?.Hmmmmm
Love Adrians Walls as I need a longship for my Ragnarok warband.
I backed WoFun heavily on their KS and I am happy to see they are expanding their options…really looking forward to seeing where they go this year
Man, that Spikey Bits joke was spot on! XD
Guys, I’m going to watch the show today but have noticed there’s another free 3d print file up for grabs, which is great, but not all of us own 3d printers Is there any way that OTT can offer to print these for us and sell them to us, for a small profit, thereby helping to supplement the site income for you all, and we get the model Perhaps it can be agreed with each company as they give you a free file, even if you are only allowed to take a set amount of orders or for a set… Read more »
There are people in discussion with Titan Forge who print and produce minis from their files. Titan Forge themselves sell their minis as phyisical objects too.
