It’s the Weekender!
It’s another jam-packed show to watch.
On a ‘personal note’ I received notice today that next Tuesday I should be finally getting my ‘UBOOT Board Game’ delivered from backing of that Kickstarter. I’m really looking forward to playing it as I’ve been jazzed for it since watching the Let’s Play here on OTT!
If you haven’t already, you can download the app (got an update this week) so you can familiarise yourself with it using the downloadable Tactical Guide (https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/173585/u-boot-board-game-tactical-guide).
This is blowing my mind!!! I’m watching the Weekender on Friday night and it’s freaking me out. What am I going to watch in the morning with my coffee?
Kids cartoons. They’re aimed at the same intellectual level, but BoW has more implied lewdness 🙂
Happy Weekend!
I’d go old school for Marine Tank Riders. Beaky Tank Riders. Oh my!! Plus you don’t have to learn all those new names for the units!
That’s a great suggestion. Long live the beakies!
I have a few of the original beakies sitting in a box somewhere. I think they would look less out of place sitting on a tank than on the battlefield as they are tiny compared to the current range. Thanks for the idea!!!
Very good show. For the grav StuG @warzan you could use it as a Land Speeder Storm, the Scout Transport (pg. 181 of Codex Space Marines). You could replace the main turret or use it as a “Smoke Launcher” rather than a main gun. It can carry 5 Scouts and the proper Landspeeder Storm Kit comes with Scouts that would look great as Tank Riders if you could get any spares. I love Gaming in the gaps. I’ve got Two 40K Projects that are almost entirely Gaming in the Gaps especially the Guardsmen. My Space Marine Chapter (plus their Father… Read more »
Someone in another forum was saying GW gave released a big rules update for 40k and a lot of the assault rules have been changed
Awesome ideas!
Good to see you back Warren.
Nice to get back in the chair 🙂
How do you get your friends to try gaming in the gaps? My friends are such a bunch of old ladies and don’t want to try anything.
Gaming in the Gaps starts with you. It’s a cool personal project you take ownership of and make it’s as enjoyable as you can. This will almost certainly lead to some cool and interesting results. When you use it in a game with your friends be sensitive to the rules and yes if need be nerf yourself to put them at ease. Then just have fun and explain the story and quirks of the army as you play and have a laugh with it. Anyone who is ‘one of us’ in this hobby will not fail to see the effort… Read more »
Have a great weekend, thanks guys.
Congratulations on the wedding!
If you want plant based wings on your Arch-Revenant instead of animal based wings, paint them as leaves. Many leaves have veins running through them.
+1 I reckon that would work really well
So Lance us getting a doin’? For a moment I thought you were claiming Droit du seigneur with him
Nothing annoys me more than the procession of cars and the repeated honking of horns.
Not sure what is happening to this hobby/pastime when you hear ‘The game is an asymmetrical narrative combat game’
Best intro ever! ^_^
Congrats for next week Lance.
Looking forward to flames of war bootcamp I’m just getting in WW2 gaming.
It’s the Weekend!
Thanks to tradition it’s another long Weekend in the UK with an extra day specifically to go pole-dancing… traditional dancing around a Maypole that is!
Cannot wait for Joan of Arc
Gaming in the gaps… Space Marines that have that have been lost in the warp, an abandoned and derelict chapter (asthetics would be armour that is damaged and repaired best they could, very sparse very rugged… think mar Max) that has had to make the most of what they’ve got ie using tanks as transports where needed as well as xenos/chaos weapons mixed in with their own. Could be lots of scouts as they were initially lost or swallowed up by the warp whilst going ahead of their chapter never to see them again
Is it Nachtwolf = Night Wolf or Nackter Wolf = Nake Wolf; their pronounce very simular
Nachtwolf = Night Wolf ?
Yes, “Nachtwolf” would translate as “Night Wolf”. I guess Justin is referring to the way Warren was saying “Nachtwolf”. If you say the softer “ch” too much like a hard “k”, then “Nacht” would indeed sound like “nakt” which means naked, nude or unadorned.
To make everyone happy, how about the “Nakte Nachtwulfe”? But perhaps only when it is a Full Moon?
Full Moon…Well played good sir, well played
SO the full title is the Full Moon Naked Night Wolfs?
or and I believe this is correct (my German is very rusty):
der Vollmond nackter Nachtwolf
Or the “the naked night wolf of the Full Moon Army”:
der nackte Nachtwolf der Vollmondarmee
Thank you… this bothered me more than it should. Same when someone pronounces StuG and Stuka similar… one is a soft G für Geschütz and the other is a hard K for Kampfflugzeuge. 😉
Happy weekend 🙂
Congratulations Lance! Seems we are getting married on the same weekend 😀
Congrats, I’ll raise a glass in your honour!
Thanks, same here 🙂
Warren needs to write down all these ideas. Really liking the extra discounts available to Backstagers, Warren should base the individual model painting comps around forces he wants. Sooooo first competition should be Primaris space marines in a pose as if they were riding a tank and in white. All entries to be sent to OTT HQ and all winners models will be kept for display and gaming purposes 😀 Really liking the Mythic Battle Royale concept. Most of their games have too high a model count for me to go in on but with these being a great visual… Read more »
Congrats for Lance, No. 73 a blast from the past, good call
Great show as always lads
If you do sign up to Shadowborne Game’s newsletter, which it seems, once you have access to their website, is what you need to do in order to be entered into the prize draw, the box at the bottom of the homepage seems to work, but the first box someone will see at the top of the homepage doesn’t seem to: I received an email when i put my email address in the box at the bottom but not when i put my email address in the box at the top.
My god it earlier than a Wednesday and actually watching the weekender!!
Happy weekend
Another awesome show its going to be a shame that i won’t have have a weekend next week.
But congrats.
@warzan Nero Wolfe is an amazing show, I own the whole 2 series (24 episodes inc. pilot see below) they made on DVD (got from the states as they were never released in the Uk). I remember seeing them on Sky Movies. It was a shame that Maury Chaykin passed as he was an amazing Wolfe. The name you couldn’t get was Timothy Hutton who played Archie Goodwin. I have seen you can find the episodes on YouTube. Here is the pilot episode.
