Weekender: Myth 2.0 & Checking Out New Batman Rulebook!
March 7, 2015 by dignity
We hope you're having a great Saturday so far and the Weekender is now here to brighten your day! We've got loads to discuss including the progress on the Dropzone Commander Boot Camp!
A whole bunch of stuff has arrived in the studio including the Batman Rulebook that we'll be having a look at as well as Angel Giraldez' new painting book that is chock full of awesome tips for you masters of the brush.
As well as that we'll be discussing the changes to MYTH with their 2.0 Rules Set and the coming of a new Kickstarter campaign which takes you off to new lands in Journeyman.
Last but least we give you the heads up on the finale of oriskany's World War 2.5 article series which finished on Monday and Backstagers can download an awesome rules pack next week too to round things off!
As a final note there will be No Weekender next week as we'll be live blogging the Dropzone Commander Boot Camp instead!
Have a great gaming weekend!

WHAM!! POW!!@#!@##!
Come on guys, stop teasing. I’m waiting for my Joker rule book to be delivered.
I want to see what model John chooses to paint and how close he can get to replicating the model. So looking forward to this.
Happy Weekend!!!
Fully agree about WW2.5
John doing Angel method, sounds like a good idea, show the difference from armour to artistic and the transferable skills. Will be a good series of videos.
Agreed. I often wonder how easy it would be to follow the idealised techniques of any masterclass. I got my copy yesterday and after a quick browse a lot of this looks doable and it then becomes a matter of skill/finesse on top of the technique.
As well as John giving this a go I’d love to see Romaine also pick a model from the book with techniques different from his usual (pre-shading with airbrush?) and see what he makes of it.
go for it john.
Patton was a straight talker in an era where the more career oriented generals tended to be sensitive to political connotations, but he scared Hitler so much that he was used as the decoy that kept the bult of the German armour facing the Pas de Calais when Overlord went into Normandy. Hitler refused to accept that the real invasion had begun, giving the allied forces time to establish a foothold that would otherwise have been much more tenuous – there was even a realistic prospect of the invasion failing if a certain E. Rommel has been allowed to do… Read more »
Keep up the good work and YES to the idea of John painting a step by step from the A-Z book!!
Happy Saturday guys. This time next week i will be in Coleraine eating my hangover breakfast 🙂
Forgot to say the world war 2.5 series has been great it should be published in some form or another.
Oh so close now.
I hope you get the opportunity to do more than one table for the BMG week. Whilst a Nolan-inspired game would be cool, a straight up normal city table seems like a bit of missed opportunity to do a characterful Gotham.
We foundered on the rocks and cards of Myth two sessions in and have never been back (and that includes using the BGG re-written book). Hopefully a re-written set of each sorts the game out, though at least in the cards I hope it doesn’t mean having to buy a new product just to be able to play the game.
Perhaps an environment somewhere between keaton’s and bale’s eh?
The really dark gothic (with neon) but the more modern characters with in it?
Personally I would like to do the zoo/penguins hideout 😉
I’m doing a fairground set. Its in the forums under Gotham Screamland.
Apparently there will be a level in the new Kickstarter to get printed versions of the 2.0 rulebook & cards, that should just cover the cost of printing & shipping….
I would like to see John follow Angel’s book, but I would want to see him paint the model without following the book as a baseline. Then paint a second copy of the model while following the book step by step. Afterwards, compare the two to see how John’s approach to painting changed and have him talk about the differences between his approaches between his current style and his adaptations using Angel’s style.
One more excellent episode of the weekender. Please have John paint Angel Hiraldes style, I’d absolutely follow that series!
Why not do a combo of a Batman week leading up to a Batman Boot Camp? Have it in the autumn, so I can have a shot at a ticket (my spring and summer is to full of other stuff).
Good luck with your preparations for Dropzone Commander! Why not do some Vlogs too from the weekend or maybe some live streaming?
If it gets John into Infinity brilliant – maybe more content for the game? SF game of the year deserves a batrep or two.
A great idea! Please!
I’m all for John doing Angel
Regards MYTH 2.0: The Kickstarter certainly won’t be getting many returning backers if Megacon insist on updates like the latest to whose who backed their RECON campaign. Nothing about the actual status of the project, instead informing us about the situation at the West Coast ports in the US and then asking us to back the MYTH: Journeymen campaign on Monday. This is after missing their last promised deadline for an update when the previous had them still waiting revisions to the minis, so no hope of making their April shipping date. Then in the comments, when people called them… Read more »
I couldn’t have put it better. I’ve given up trying to defend them on the forums: they need to step up from the ” but I’m trying my hardest Mom, can I have some more pocket money” stance, (usually followed by “thanks for that Mom… oh by the way, I may have been in a bit of trouble I haven’t told you about yet”). I’m not in a rush to receive Recon tbh, plenty of things on the go, in the queue and also incoming (GB). Might spend a bit on Myth 2.0, but mostly just to fix what I’ve… Read more »
Another good weekender
Must catch up on the WW2.5 stuff sounds interesting…time to watch Paxton again.
Definitely get John to try and do the techniques from the book…be a laugh to see if Romain could do the same…lol
Really looking forward to getting my Joker book and model.
Be good to see John follow the Angel style.
I think John following the ‘Angel Method’ is a great idea- can see folks at home following along too, then everyone can share their results at the end! Got to agree with the points made above by others regarding Myth- great game, but my confidence in MGC is not so great… If the new KS has hard copies available of the 2.0 rules and cards I may go in for those, though seems a shame to have to fork out more cash to ‘fix’ my copy… But I guess that’s my fault for not being a fan of the whole… Read more »
First of all congratz with your son’s birthday Warren. Nice weekender again and a great book of Knightmodels. Would love to see you guys build a table for it and play test the game.
It is a good idea to let John follow the techniques Angel is using and see how far he gets on the looks. That will show if the book is good.
You guys have earned your £3.79 this month by saying “surround sound” alone, never mind all the awesome gaming content.
Gotta love that Irish accent.
Johns idea is great. I’d go for the Gecko tag myself, but there is a wide variety of stuff in there.
Big thumbs up from me for Johns painting series.
Received my copy of Angel’s book this morning, I’m really loving it.
I like to see what John can do when he gets inspired bij Angel.
