It’s the XLBS SHOW…..Happy Sunday CoGs!
.
Well Done to the Golden Button Winners! (love that Cogstrider….I might have to make an attempt to duplicate it)
.
It seems that the video of ‘Guns and helmets – Sweet Child Baby Yoda o’ Mine’ has been struck down “copyright claim by Guns N’ Roses Music “
yes it keeps happening but if you can find one watch it
2 thumbs up.
hmmm video removed due to copyright by GnR…thanks Axl
Bastards.. just went went looking for it… time to hit the black market I guess..!!
HAPPY SUNDAY!!!!
Right… so we do have a time marker for how long it will take Gerry to paint some of his minis. A Sean Connery figure that will JUST NOW be painted after his death. Yep, the Hairy Hoarder has shown us how long his horrendously hefty backlog truly hails as an egregious edifice to extraneous entertainment expenses. Yes, hobby be expensive and time consuming. The Variable Return Hobby Investment (VRHI) is real
I think the only skill I’ve learnt with being involved with this hobby is expert work avoidance.Its a skill I have put to good use at work
Happy Sunday!
The Mercs news has been met with mixed reactions in the forum, but has jolted a few into digging out their unfinished minis for more work.
The Recon KS debacle with the poor quality production issues seemingly killed off people’s enthusiasm for the game and the company Megaton in the process.
Another problematic Megacon KS and title, Myth, is proving a slog for Ulisses to reinvigorate; hopefully this might be a bit smoother to seeing tangible results.
Mercs 2.0 rules made movement simpler, the cards became long & short moves but you don’t need to be limited to the slots.
FYI – latest Season 6 of Vikings takes us into the Rus Empire!!
Happy Sunday all, I’ve finally got my hands on a copy of Saga and ready to begin my warband adventure. The coffee is on and the kids are quiet. Time for XLBS.
Lol a great start to the XLBS show.
Just think of the money in landfills?
Ooh you can’t beat some rimming guy’s.
Artistic licence Gerry.
More fabulous looking projects pictures.
Well that explains your bad eye site Gerry.!!!
Go for the Nids Justin? but in an interesting colours.
Arsey Crawlers? Is this Ireland’s answer to Peaky Blinders?
Is their not a bottle holder that’s out of stopping that spillage problem.? Guy’s.
Arse I’ll try again.

Nice one Guy’s.
Morning CoGs… 00:00 OH OH OOOOOH SWEET CHILD OF MIIIINE! Jebus, @avernos where did you find that?! LOVE IT! This is sending me down some road here…. I was 12 when GnR released that song… Aaaand the video has been taken down by Guns and Roses…. *sigh* EDIT: try this: https://youtu.be/qNgvy_Mq5E8 02:10 “We’re not doing codebuster…” @brennon “oooh.. nooo…” XD Can’t contain is excitement *g* 03:30 Star Waaaaarrs….. @justin you know that you simple *don’t* have a drink with @lloyd and then he will not mention it again 😉 09:30 SPOLERS! Mandalorian S02E01 (Have I ever told you lot about… Read more »
lol somethings are better untouched 🙂
Is that what school nurse told you as well?
Happy Sunday to all CoG’s everywhere.
The end scene was the best bit of this XLBS and god bless whoever stuck it in
I need to make a plan for winter (Dec-March). Go through which projects are close to finishing and get them out of the way. I like Gerry’s draw idea. I have an empty draw set I could use it would be more productive than my random grab what ever is near to hand approach.
That’s it,my hobby desk is an absolute nightmare to look upon,@avernos and his ” project in a draw ” will be stolen and used to create space and a semblance of organisation in the hobby cave.
Happy Sunday. Wow – a Golden Button – Thank you so much! Although @brennon, I think you mixed up the backstory – my little boy wanted to build some models while we away, and he picked these. It’s not a game I play, or have much interest in, but they are cool minis. And I’m surprised you didn’t embiggen the butt-shot @lloyd ! Congrats to the other winners – the Nurgle were amazing and the AoS models were a fascinating group. I always loved the look of Mercs, but I didn’t want to get into another game that wasn’t played… Read more »
Poor Ben, the relief on your face at the thought of no Code Busters in this week’s show was palpable. Is it Warren’s massive enthusiasm? Is it his desire to focus it on you? Or is it the timer music? As much as I enjoy trying to solve them I am glad you could relax a little this week.
Thanks for another great show, folks.
