Go team us
didn’t peg you for a Trumper. Go Team US
How often do you get to watch the manifestation of a countries id?
And in the time it took to type… one of the locals appeared first.
Its because they all live quite close to HQ so there messages take less time to get there. Gerry could start typing his message 3 or 4 minutes after you start and his would still appear first
It was up for 4 minutes before I bothered. I assumed no one was watching
I wasn’t so much watching as passing by when I noticed.
It’s the difference between being a stalker and being observant.
Love the Stoessi’s Heroes mini’s. They are amazingly detailed. Wow deja vu.
They are very nice – lots of character and the real-life element makes them more compelling indeed.
They will make a great addition to Bolt Action forces. I have seen the Band of Brothers figures (finished watching the series again last night) and seriously contemplating getting some US Para minis, which these would make a great addition. Might have to start saving my pennies.
happy weekender.
Happy Friday all ?
Very much looking forward to the Hel Lets Play everything I’ve seen so far points to some pretty absorbing gameplay.
I enjoyed the game despite it being made out of digital
That’s good to hear ?
Yeah it seems awesome from a read of the rules and chat of gameplay.
It’s the Weekend!
Today has completely f**ked up my sense of what day it is… others in the UK will understand!
I’ve finally got myself out of my hobby funk, and I have to say that recording progress in an OTT project has helped me to recognise the value of what I’m doing for myself – and if anyone else finds it interesting then that’s even better!
Glad to see you out of the hobby funk!
“Stoessi’s Heroes”, what a cracking range of figures!
They are lovely! I have some firm favourites from the Soviet collection
Some really interesting sculpts from all the companies shown.
Love Stoessi’s. They most certainly have an awesome selection.
Nice going Shieldwolf Miniatures. Can’t back but will buy.
I applaud you as a person of taste and culture… Cpt. Justi Ueki Tylor FTW
Really enjoyed the show! Those Stoessi’s Heroes are great minis, I have spent a lot of time longingly drooling over their website. Lots of nice toy in the news, those German Paras look grand!
The Shieldwolf stuff really does nothing for me – if I wanted to do not 40k, it wouldn’t be this
With the horses all I could think of was Col Bravestar
I must admit, I’m not a big fan of the miniatures either but it’s always good to see alternative Imperial Guard/Astra Militarum
Thanks for the show. Looking forward to Sunday!
Awesome ww2 hero’s great show guys
I look forward to your Weekender every week.
Stoessi’s Heroes mini’s look fabulous! I want some!!!
a great fun show guys.
Like the Bridge to Far minis that Stoessi’s heroes do,and the Band of Brothers set they have.
I love the camp commander and nco from hogans heroes. That’s a show I’ve not seen in years
They would make nice figures to use on the board game Escape from Colditz,must admit I’ve not seen the show since I was young
Super impressed with the Stoessis Heroes range. So many great minis with outstanding stories. Nancy Wake, the French resistance mini you looked at, has one of the most amazing stories. The bicycle ride with the bag of onions being just one. Otto Skorzeny, he was just crazy. Then you have Klink and Schultz that look amazing!
Otto ended up living in Ireland as a farmer.
Oh oh oh! The detail of the doggos.. I die… Jorik’s IS SO FLUFFY!!!!
Haha, bonus points for fluffy
Hel has some interesting looking figures.
It’s the Weekender…. “and then there were three!” ? (hopefully there are some reinforcements waiting just off the table to come in with the next lucky roll of the dice) I can’t wait for those “Crisis Protocol” releases to be available. It’s like dangling candy in front of a fat kid at a birthday party and then saying, “but you’ll have to wait a few months”. I do want the “Samurai Teahouse” from 3DAlienWorlds. Great looking collection they’ve got built up there. I could see using those “Imperium Immortalis” for my DUST Germans. Anyone else remember DUST? ??
Yeah, Crisis Protocol models always have me interested!
I’ve missed a lot of shows recently but managed to sit down and paint while listening along. Took me back to a nice place. Now looking forward to Sundays hopefully be able to finish some minis at the same time
Good stuff – always happy to be on in the background whilst folks hobby.
Great show, gentlemen. I do believe my Victorian guardsmen and their scouts and Broolian beastmen from Victoria Miniatures have found an opponent to fight for the mineral rights to the desert world they are posted on.
Sounds like a good idea!
Loved the goblins. So much character in the sculpts. The facial expressions are priceless.
I do love the sculpting by Warploque – the faces do make it!
Those German miniatures are amazing.
Makes me want to dust off my bolt action.
Dust them off!
Dust off my bolt action!!!
Sounds like a carry on line 🙂
Thank goodness! Another weekender has arrived!!
