Merry Christmas all!
Happy Christmas to all.
Looking forward to this. Great end of year bonus.
On the first day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me…
-A leak in my water-bed!
That’s why I’m up so f***in’ early.
At least I found this to cheer me up while I await the dawn.
@10:50 Warren goes a bit Brian Blessed!
I thought he went a bit stoning scene in Life of Brian.
“Are there any women here?…”
Dive my hawkmen DIIIIIiiiiiiiiiive!
Flash AH-HA,
I was thinking the exact same thing 🙂
Napoleonic Skirmish? I’ve heard of people adapting the LOTR rules for such things and just found this link”””’: http://www.spiritofthegame.org.uk/voltigeur/
Some sprues have more skirmishy poses – Victrix for example.
GW Name Change syndrome? You’re right Warren, you’ve got to see it for what it is…
… IPR protectable naming!
lol
Merry Christmas Gents ….but please tell me this was pre-recorded, such devotion to duty is not required…….*sniff* ….it touching really……..I hope you all have a good day with friends and family. (that is to all the BoW boys AND their supporters. Merry Christmas 🙂
Merry Christmas everyone on Beast of War!
Merry Christmas fellow beasts. May you all have a great day.
Here you go Justin! @dignity @warzan

Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas guys and all the very best for your endeavours in 2017! Looking forwards to the FOW boot camp, more board game play throughs and Romain’s musings whilst painting up something special
Hope everyone has a peaceful & prosperous New Year 🙂
You’re coming to the FOW Boot Camp as well, @brucelea ? Awesome! Merry Christmas, and have a great New Year everyone! 😀
Thanks for your very in depth articles Dude. Always entertaining. I loved the Battle tech / Mech Warrior series of articles
Hoping you keep this up next year. Will be looking forward to them.
Hope you are having a happy holiday , and also a great New Year.
@oriskany, I just bought my Sal a very nice bag as part of a long term strategy to build up the brownie points (and guilt) so I can get myself a place. Merry Christmas to you and @gladesrunner.
PS Santa bought me shilkas and the complete range of game air paints in a handy case, my badger airbrush is going to get some serious hammer when we finish our travels.
Merry Christmas folks! Santa has brought Manny a minions fart gun, i was soooo proud… for the first 45 mins of it….
….my life is now ruined, set to a soundtrack of perpetual farting 🙁
Ancient Chinese secret, Army Painter Dragon Red spray and copious amount of AP Dark Tone 😉
Is that big beard rule actually a thing in Saga? Is there an alternative rule for those of us not blessed with such hirsuteness?
Youd think theres gotta be! @brennon any info on this? :)/
Would my outrageously hairy back be a suitable replacement in the Saga rules @brennon ?
don’t think us getting our hairiest bits out is going to end well
…is that what the lawyer told you?
Have a great time over the festive period everyone. D.xxx
Yes it is. I played against a young lad who had brought a knitted woollen beard to a tournament. It was a good deal greater than anything else on the day. I think it is a fun rule that helps set the tone for the spirit in which the game should be played.
that is fantastic in itself, I love that he embraced the beardiness inside himself and brought a knitted beard that is…. he’s a legend, no ifs or buts.
Urgh, well that’s a bit disappointing
You could always gel you hair into a beard and ‘tache over your face.would look cute and funny 🙂
It would be very Black Adder
I’ve gained by it and lost to it. I’ve never met anyone who has insisted that you have to abide by it. When faced by someone who can’t obviously grow a beard or moustache a simple re roll is the norm.
Nah, no excuse being a girl. These ladies all have better beards than me http://www.boredpanda.com/women-beards-hair-design-trend-ladybeards/
When I trim mine would you like me to save the bits for you? Bit of glue and nobody would know the difference…
It is in the rules just like some board games, have the one born closest to the Arctic circle go first.
Merry Christmas everyone…. 🙂
Merry Christmas. Warren, Osprey just published ‘Chosen Men’ a Napolionic skirmish game which seems rather like 40k but with black powder.
Good Yule and Happy New Year to everyone.
As for what I’d like to see in the coming year…Frostgrave and This is Not a Test would be great.
Merry Christmas All!
Am surprised to say I’m with Justin on the matter of Drop Bears! Yetis though are a different matter 😉
What a fabulous way to start Christmas Day, Backstage banter and a pot of coffee! Now to start on the beer 🙂
Peace and goodwill to all, except those pesky Walkers lol
@warzan Drop beats does not drop on you from CAVE it drop on you from trees get it right . now one of the few why to stop a Dropbear dropping on you face and claws your face off then maybe eat you is that you rubs some vegemite at the back of your ear
Best Christmas Day telly by far…
Merry Xmas folks!
I’m pretty sure Alan was at GW in 1987. He was hired as a caster in the early days of Citadel. Now he’s a free agent he seems like a good candidate for a Designer’s Studio interview..
Also, as I’m not FB friends with Alan, what other goodies is he selling, @warzan 🙂
Merry Christmas guys! Here’s to 2017!
oh and as for lets play vid i want to see is , can you guys finish playing kingdom death monster ?
Justin check out Schnauzer Face minis on You Tube for inspiration. Not only that most airbrushing is done on the complete model to achieve an overall lighting effect. Airbrushing Trollbloods is great as the models seem to of been almost designed for the process. In the new year I’m hoping to upgrade to a better airbrush to tackle the Infinity models to do them justice.
Good luck and enjoy the process, get stuck in is the best advice I can give.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you all and your families.
Merry Christmas to all
Are you sure that dice bag is really a posing pouch?.h
Isn’t really I meant
Couldn’t be, not nearly enough space in it 😉
But it makes the correct noise and everything
Justin knew what it was too quickly and his reactions to it . He has stated he was a carpenter/ Chippy. I am thinking that is code speak for being a stripper.
Justin the Chippy-n-dale 🙂
Merry Xmas all. Being from Australia I’d say the turbulence around Black Mountain makes perfect sense as the reflective nature of the rocks and the fact they would absorb heat at different rates to the surrounding countryside would mean updrafting air columns at irregular intervals, which would make flying over them difficult. Keep in mind of all the things here that can kill you, the sun here has got to be high on the list – it gets properly hot here, to the point where roads in regional Australia melt. With regards to the disappearances I’d attribute that to venomous… Read more »
Disappearances – is that not truck-drivers?
