Dont panic, we are testing a different time slot for publishing this 🙂
Feel free to watch it at 5am if that is your routine 😉
and it’s good to be back 🙂
Well to be fair to you, I suppose it is technically Saturday already in the Colonies. ?
?
Former Colonies – yes.
It’s saturday somewhere on this planet.
And it’s definitely saturday somewhere in the multiverse 😉
colonies, guess brits will never get over they got beat by a bunch of farmers huh LOL
No showed up early Fri
So the publish time might still change in the future?
Not that it matters that much because I can watch it whenever I can but it would be nice to know.
I believe we’re keeping it at 9pm UK time for now
Bloody typical. You wait two weeks and then one comes along 8 hours early! What is this country coming to?
(Awesome to have you guys back!)
Brexit 😉
So we are blaming an early weekender on Brexit now? is there anything Brexit can’t do?
Warren, I still want to roll over and turn you on at 5am on a Saturday morning. It is my favourite time of the week, except Sunday when I get to do it all over again…
It’s a ‘necrosis tomb pillar’ …
Sounds like something that might require a visit to the doctor 😉
ps) stop reminding me that 3D printing is cool and affordable … my wallet doesn’t like it.
WW3 Started by Thatcher nuking the Falklands or Reagan, Ronny or Nancy no need to be exact. Influenced by their psychics or arms industry chums. Warren ya such a sensual dog you. The mat intro cracked me up.
oo a friday night treat!
I shall watch tomorrow

I appreciate the time stamps.
Birmingham Studio? Is that new spelling of cupboard?
Snag-a-normie is a great idea and like a badge of honour, wearing one of those hoodies you can be proud to be a geek and if you see someone else wearing a snag-a-normie top you know it’s safe to ask them if they’d like to be your elven companion for that evening and play some games – all without embarrassment or misunderstanding or indeed innuendo. I give normies a painted miniature as a leaving present at work. It’s unique and personal and with some thought you can tailor the paint job to resemble the colleague and pose them in a… Read more »
love the new intro guys.
I have to say I did not enjoy the WoM segment, felt like a waste of a beautiful mini and it was also quite disgusting, but maybe that’s just me. Good to have you back. I really do like the Indie segment in the beginning, thumbs up!
I like getting these on Friday afternoon, US, as it gives me something to watch when it’s slow at work. A few thoughts… Team Yankee: Shouldn’t the new WW3 kit be identified as early war? I don’t claim to know a lot about this type of war-gaming, but It just seems that the models Team Yankee is using are modern-day. I would like to see something that is a nice mix of modern and future. Not like Warhammer or Infinity future, but something that is a logical next step or two from modern-day; just to differentiate rulebooks and theaters. Wheel… Read more »
I imagine we might see some folks selling the chibi miniatures on eBay once the KS delivers.
Good choice to include timestamps.
Poor Justin, Is this what happen when there no weekended for 2 week lol. I like the Intro Lloyd
sweet, I can sleep longer tomorow !
It’s the return of the Weekender……
Glad to see the show back guys!
OMG a 3D model group print challenge. Fantastic!!! I’ll have some of that. ??
Now as to the changes of and to the studio…….I’ll have to study this video and see if I want to update my OTT/Gaming Room Studio or keep it old school!
lol you were on our minds the whole time we were reorganising 🙂
Don’t worry, 100% of the ‘new set’ is made up from bits and pieces of the ‘old set’ and bits we scavanged from other places around the visitor centre.
Mostly it’s just a bit tidier!
Like the new format. Ben seemed to be cut off a bit early.
Table looked a bit sparse, needs the coffee mugs back and a few models perhaps to negate the bareness.
Looking forward to seeing the new XLBS…
No changes to XLBS this week, it will get its spit and polish over the next few weeks 🙂
I’ve got the Northern Pass mat from P-Works and indeed it’s a fine mat as well (as Warren points out) a “core” mat for your collection. You could even use it for the new Studio Tomahawk game 🙂 I do like the mats that have 3D elements on them at ground level but DON’T have detail that’s best left to scatter terrain rather than being printed on them (like bridges, pipes etc) and also keep the mat scale agnostic. And I think P-Work perhaps are the manufacturer that best does this compared to some of the other offerings. As to… Read more »
If I remember correctly back in the mid 80s the prime possible reasons for WW3 starting were: Failure of grain harvest in Ukraine coupled with NATO/US sanctions causing famine/massive shortages in the Pact domestic market. Escalation of possible conflict with Turkey (NATO Ally) in the middle east against neighbouring country. Revolt in Pact member wanting to leave following up with NATO/US support Afghanistan conflict came seriously near in Russia had attempted to expand beyond border of Afghanistan into Pakistan to create a “DMZ” and stop US supplies reaching the Taliban. Other than that, just read most of the older Tom… Read more »
Who’d have thought a G.W. Painting Handle would ever get smeared in LUBE???
I’m sure there’s a ‘specialist’ website out there for you 😉
Looks rather like I’m on the right ‘Specialist Website’ already!
To be fair it does look like something that really ought to be smeared in lube.
Rule #34
@engineseer, I had to Google that one! As my Brother’s Godfather once said to me, ‘If you can think of it, someone is doing it to someone else in London!’
Love the time slot! It’s late Saturday morning in Eastern Oz. Always liked the Red Alert idea of killing Hitler meant that the Soviet Union ended up in the middle of Europe even earlier. Bring on WWIII. Whilst on WWIII is that in real-life there were many ‘proxy’ wars and ‘regime changes’ so it’s easy to imagine a regime change leading to former allies going hammer and tong at each other. Even a 2nd American civil war isn’t that hard to imagine in today’s political climate. One thing I do like that GW does currently is the cross overs in… Read more »
Enjoying the new format.
Team Yankee looks amazing. I’m a huge Flames of War fan, but haven’t dove into WW3.
If you are doing World war 3 alt, US starts it like in Dr. Strangelove. This could have a few of the standard US allies teaming up with Russia against the US/Canada/British. Have the war fought in the US like in Red Dawn.
Really like the Necron 3d prints. You can use a lot of parts for fantasy as well (Old Gods Temples).
Hate to say it, but those are not Mantas in the Aeronautic Imperialis. Those are Tau Tiger Sharks, which fills the role of bomber. The Manta is bigger.
Yes, way bigger.
Ao food to have you guys back. Currently watching while painting at 03:30 as my little one is awake. I’m working on him at a young age SAN long-standing. ????
