Happy Sunday Peeps!
You had me at 10mm. When you threw in Age of Magic I made a mess of myself
The Beast Arises series has no comedy in it. The Orks are a major threat that wipe out Space Marine chapters with ease. The only thing about that series is that the human politics makes you hope the Orks win
It’s the XLBS Show………..Happy Sunday CoGs!
The old Citidel Paints bottles look like the Privateer Press P3 paints bottles.
I like the Multi-User Project idea. Can’t wait to try it out……(wait….I’ll need buddies….never mind, my wife just reminded me I don’t have any of those!)
Happy Sunday.
One of my favourite 40K short novel/short series was the Prophet of WAAAAAGH which was just an epic Ork Story about a Mek just doing Ork stuff and stomping humies with “Fat Mork”. But hands down one of the books I enjoyed the most was Brutal kunning. It’s a brilliant look at how Ork’s work and how insanely hard it would be to defend against them because they’re just such lunatics. He takes out a Knight/Small Titan which is just epic. My favourite part is when the Ork can’t figure out where the Humies are hiding all their shiny loot… Read more »
I got that ‘Prophet of Waaagh!’ as an audio book … it is hilarious and proper Orky.
Happy Sunday!
@warzan, you can tell those from the same generation bopping along, with the millennial shaking there head at a classic tune
Great session today guys, looks like everyone’s been busy and some great work from the Golden Button winners. Warren you will find some interesting Orks in the Beast Arises series but I am not sure you will find exactly what you are looking for. I think it may be worth reading up a little more on the different Klans as maybe there will be one that is a little more tactical than the others.
Happy Sunday,
SAGA age of Martians coming soon!
Ak,aka,ak
Age of Orkses!
Happy Sunday All ?
Regards GW paints and the ****ness of their paint pots, I have a pot of Tin Bitz from the range that followed those OG Citadel paints (the taller hex-pots) and it just doesn’t dry out, and I’ve had that pot over 20 years now
yup have several of those still as well
Super powerful ork = Spork
Ref @warzan ‘s Orks, I have to agree about the comedy aspect being pushed too far. Part of the thing I enjoyed about Warpath/Deadzone was how their Marauders are supposed to be incredibly brutal, highly competent mercenaries. There is one thing to consider though about Orks – of all the races in the grim, Grim, Grim Darkness of the 41st Millennium, it’s only the Orks that are genuinely having any FUN. I would say though, if you want to see how Orks look to the “average” Imperial citizen, Gaunt’s Ghosts 2nd novel Ghostmaker features a chapter flashing back to Gaunt… Read more »
In Rynn’s World the orks are nasty. They’ve portrayed the scary orks rather than the comedy ones.
It’s probably nothing to worry about unless you’re planning on either donating your LED-lit dungeon, or keeping hold of it for decades to come – but polystyrene reacts with the pvc coating on wires; it makes it go hard and brittle (and eventually, flake off). Years ago I rewired my canal boat and part of the safety scheme was to make sure none of the 12v wiring was ever in contact with the polystyrene insulation (instant safety fail). But it’s looking really, really cool! Vape oil for smoke works really nicely. I made a micro smoke machine a while back… Read more »
Thanks for the button! Yeah I’m using a smaller board. Great episode as usual!
I saw that you snuck it in after we filmed!
Lol XLBS/COGZ,ers
You’ll need to get that as your ring tone @warzan
When written well the orks tread the line between comedy and horror. I think it’s they’re comedy in their own minds, but horrifying when you see the result of their slapstick violence. Baneblade by Guy Haley paints them as properly terrifying. I read the paperback so no promises there’s not a cockerney accent to be heard in the audio version.
Of course “when written well” is doing a lot of work here. It always is when talking about Black Library 🙂
The dungeon shelves are coming along nicely. Smoke would be cool but it has to go somewhere so you will end up with water pooling somewhere or vape oil coating everything including the front glass fairly quickly.
Adding sound could be a fun project- either some sort of soundboard on your phone or all the way upto a Pi or other small embedded device with buttons for each room playing out some ambience or advancing a story.
Don’t forget uv,light shows all body fluids so if you’re kid’s/pets accidents? could be embarrassing @warzan
Lol Warzan,s Disco Dungeon.?
Thanks for making my Sunday guys – I was pottering about watching/listening and randomly heard my name – nice surprise ?. Bizarrely I was thinking the same about the GW paints a few days ago. I have a load of citadel paint from the early 90’s (or same era as the pot Jerry had) and they are still perfect – however my newest GW pots are an absolute disgrace ?. Think I’ll be changing brand. I also think that the 40k orks, as they are portrayed, don’t work in the setting (in my opinion).They are a bit jarring and don’t… Read more »

What about the poundshop candles?
Use green wire an they could be vines & roots.
