Happy Sunday mate lol
Yay, drunk Neil achieved something as well as an horrendous hangover
Happy Sunday Backstagers! ?
Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday! Open mini rulesets that brings new life to old models is the way to go. Picked up saga:Age of Magic (AoM) at Salute but haven’t had much time to process it yet. Warlords of Erewhon (WoE) was being played a lot at club last week. There’s always KoW and Vanguard. With armies from LOTR and WHF in the cupboard some fun is going to be had investigating lists. Might even have a reason to finish that Empire army I abandoned when I fell out of love with GW systems. Gerry’s idea of running very similar lists through playthroughs… Read more »
It would be equally interesting to see what kind of tactics the various systems reward.
Building identical lists may be a challenge though.
nah it was fairly easy
that’s an interesting one certainly, could have a chat with @warzan and see if we could do something for it or maybe turn it into an article series. Starting with fantasy and maybe covering other genres in time. One for the mulling pot certainly
Have found a dodgy chap doing a dodgy youtube video comparing AoM & WoE, but I’m sure OTT could do a better job 😉
I always avoid youtube that way lies madness and death 😉
Happy Sunday!!!
Great show guys. Its 1.30am so I am off to bed.
Happy Sunday guys.
@warzan go all Sylvaneth Tree-Folk, printablescenery.com provides you with cool elvish tree design .stl files for scenery. I´ve got both and I love this stuff. It is easy to paint (See my old project https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/jockes-first-step-into-age-of-sigmar-sylvaneth/ ), fun to collect and lovely to print (I use my Ender 2 with 0.2 layer hight and the stuff is beautyfull).
Also, back to a new Mindmelder: Google “Eye of the Sahara Atlantis”, thank me later 😉
Happy Sunday one and all! 🙂
Happy Sunday Jim looking forward to seeing how you get on in the Falklands! 🙂
Thanks very much! Less than an hour to go!
*queue Europe with “The Final Countdown.” 😀 😀 😀

For swarms you get a lot of little Sprites with anything Wood Elf Related that would work great on a swarm base. Remember guys the GW colour sprays ARE NOT Primers. Not sure where I stand on the 3D Printer issues you both made good points, it’s defiantly inevitable. Now’s the time to get into 3D Design even if it’s just for fun, it’s not that hard to learn to do basic stuff like buildings and accessories. Haha very clever of them to call that mini Ace. For those who don’t know the guy in Predator with a minigun is… Read more »
Happy Sunday!
I always use my GW sprays as primers and so far didn’t need to re-paint one figure. Works a treat ?
Happy B-day @dignity ?
for a long time we just used standard d6 for BA as well, and for WoE.
I havnt even watched the show and I would say always go 10mm. Base them on washers and away you go. One day I will do a new post for my project where that’s what I’m doing but year end keeps getting in the way!
I’m a big fan of Mantic’s Forces of Nature army, especially their Forest Shamblers. Most of the models are metal though, but the one advantage is you can throw them at the aliens if they come to snip your genitals…
Im so much looking forward to play Saga AoM.
@warzan The talk about generating instant 3D Models based on abstract concepts reminded me of something I saw on Facebook during Austism Awareness Week/Day. Yes it’s Dr. Jordan Peterson, nothing in the video has anything to do with politics it’s just the best and most concise explanation that happens to be delivered by Dr. Peterson who is a fully qualified Clinical Psychologist. I have no desire to start any political fights and I won’t respond to anyone who does, he’s a man talking about a topic that’s all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxNg0xcadsM He is talking about a very Autistic Woman (Temple Grandin) who… Read more »
Fascinating insight! I’ll give it a watch, I have a lot of respect for Peterson as regardless of his conclusions he has some very interesting insights!
For a treeman army could you not buy some googly eyes and just get some twigs from the garden and put them together. Easiest prepaints you’ll ever get
Or even better just buy lots of pepperami’s they come in different sizes as well
googly eyes make everything better
Happy Sunday everyone 🙂 .
I was horrified when @warzan kicked off XLBS with the whole mutilation / @dignity mind melter thing.I wondered where today’s show was going to end up….My mind began to melt until you guys got back to hobby and i was able to relax into XLBS.
Someone out there must do bug / rat swarms for @warzan ?
lots of places, my favourite for rats are actually meant to be bases https://www.base-x-of-war.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=33_84
I used them for my skaven and just added some plastic rats from the sprues to give more rats and definition to it.
Mantic and Reaper both do bug swarms.
Join the discussion…Those bases are great.I’ll be passing these along to my friends.
this is why they keep me around, I have a shallow knowledge over a wide area. I’m like the water in a swamp
I do like Wizards exploding. Reminds me of my undead army for Fantasy Warriors and watching my Amazing Necromancer exploding display team obliterate itself every game
like the firework display at the end of Kingsman, everyones head assplode!
The first 15-20 minutes were just so moooving….
I cown’t believe I herd that!
Do you ever feel we talk too much bull?
I feel we need to steer this conversation in another direction
It is getting udder-ly ridiculous!
@warzan planning on painting again… activate John!
yup, 2p basing FTW. I’ve done all my Bolt Action stuff on 2ps and it works a treat. Other than cost an additional benefit is the heavier base (than plastic) lowers the centre of gravity and makes them more stable on the table. Strong and Stable, that’s the way to go!
@warzan are you talking about this video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1bjZWLwqRU
that’s exactly it mate!
Happy birthday @dignity.
Happy Sunday all, and of course a happy birthday Justin!
great show as always, Looking forward to seeing Warren’s project I would be one to hope its of the AoS style so I can join in :p
So for SAGA fantasy in 10mm and you put 3 figures on a 2p one Warrior pack (25 figures,) for £5.25 would give you 8 bases. From what I’ve heard that would be 1pt wouldn’t it? @avernos @lloyd
correct. Or I’ve seen people drop to 15mm bases for infantry and 25mm for cav and staying at 1 figure per base. you could do a reduced scale army very cheaply. I just like the spectacle of bigger forces 🙂
But it’s all about looking spectacular really though isn’t it
Happy sunday all
