It’s the XLBS Show……….Happy Sunday Fellow CoGs!
happy sunday. its warm and humid and impossible to sleep, So let’s get this show on the road
HAPPY SUNDAY!!!!!
Happy Sunday to you all hope your all enjoying the weekend. I do like that colour shift that Gerry has used for the Shell on his moonstone project. Love the shield decals. I enjoy whimsy in my gaming which is why I find warploque great fun, where else would I find a villain with a special rule for ranting, plus there’s the amazing sculpts. Lovely golden buttons well deserved. I’m afraid when I was younger it was GW games so I’m struggling to think of a vanished range or game outside my experience. I do wish I’d got into Man… Read more »
Good show
I particularly like @free getting passionate about boardgames and well said it was to.I was waiting for her to start mentioning Watneys Red Barrel and they don’t serve it properly here……
Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday!
Doug the flaccid and flatulent?
Cant think of any ranges I woukd want back. Maybe Epic?. I was going to say Warmaster but other companies do them so much better now. It would be nice to see Renegade Miniatures back but not sure if there still in hiatus or gone for good
Yay it’s the disco XLBS SHOW.
Happy Sunday!
I suppose it’s only clinically dead, but I do miss Dropzone Commander. Imagine the Dropfleet Kickstarter never happened, and Hawk Wargames would have kept developing Dropzone, moving the story line forward, perhaps introducing few new factions and only did a minor refresh to the 1st edition rules. It could be one of the top sci-fi games around now.
Wow, Free’s dazzling dancing disco digits was a helluva shock to my system first thing on a Sunday morning without my first coffee hit.
Well done you Golden Button winners and way to go team on showing your passion for not just new things (like Moonstone) but also nostalgic shout-outs to some of the things we all miss. New is not always improved.
None of us were ready for that.
I can’t stop laughing. Perfect suprise editing from Lloydy there!
Frits, is Jason an his coat of many colours.
Happy Sunday CoGs! Netrunner would be a great shout but sadly it’ll never happen. The Netrunner license is held by WOTC, they had no success with it as a CCG so the a few years later it was taken out cheaply by FFG who rewrote how the game played and released the LCG. They made a stonking amount of money off it and when it came time to renegotiate the license WOTC asked for far more money as a % cut of sales and FFG walked away. As for models ranges, I’d like to see Rackham’s lines come back in… Read more »
I am a massive fan of Confrontation. You dodged a bullet on the KSer as San Detour took the cash and ran. You should check out Legends of Signum and https://cadwallon.com/ 😉
You’ll need the Monty python Knight’s to take on the angry bunnys they did so well the first time they meet.
I’d like to see the Garrison Miniatures Sword and Sorcery range that Greenwood and Ball produced back in the late 1970s back. John Braithwaite must have been one of the best sculptors around at the time. It was system agnostic, as it started to come out before there were any specific Conan rules published, so the Fantasy Supplement in the 4th edition of the WRG Ancients rules or Chainmail would have been the only rules available.
Some of the pre-slotta Citadel stuff was pretty nice as well.
Happy Sunday! Ranges to come back well were to start! From way way back in 1980 I’d love to have the Viking Miniatures range back again! Proper old school 25mm Vikings, Anglo-Danes, Norman and First Crusade minis. They were the first range that had a wide range of poses for the core troops, at least 5 different Anglo-Dane Huscarl models for example, and all of the minis had open hands with multiple variations of spears, axes and swords! So every army could be made differently. My first ever army was the Anglo Danes, and the 150 figure complete army cost… Read more »
They are not popular because your not ment to mention fight club?!?
Jerry’s plastic sheets are made by Wills a company own by Peco and is make for model railways at a scale of 4mm to the foot most model railways stockist should stock it three is around 30 different types
Nice one guy’s.
That image … 😀 Close your eyes … it’s better not to look ’cause it will melt your face. What’s in there ? Justin’s blanket v2 ? Warzan’s favourite gaming mat or loin cloth used as a [insert your own filth thoughts] ? I must admit that I liked the concept of ‘regiments of reknown’, but at the same time I dislike it when a game ‘forces’ you to field specific characters (especially once you get to the tournament level). I’d rather have a system that would allow for players to design their own ‘region of reknown’, maybe as a… Read more »
Christmas scenario during a heatwave – almost as daft as the cooked breakfast I just had during a heatwave, or yesterday’s cutting down trees during a heatwave I did yesterday.
tl;dr I am an idiot
Also it’s getting harder not to drop money on those Moonstone gnomes.
Happy Sunday. I’m so much happier with the newer caster for the Moonstone miniatures. I got the starter set early last year and two miniatures were so miscast that I had to get two replacements sent. Also @avernos take a look at the back legs of Doug the Flatulent’s pug, that goat is not the only model with balls. As for games I wish they’d bring back: Dragon Masters – A board game produced by GW back in the early 90s and designed by Ian Livingston. It uses some of the pieces from Mighty Empires. Fighting Fantasy books – with… Read more »
Board games I’d like to republished would include most of Metagaming Concepts Microgames. Steve Jackson games has picked up some, Ogre, GEV, Melee, Wizard, and The Fantasy Trip. But I’d like to see Chitin, Warp War and Olympia come back. There’s a whole slew of Avalon Hill games that I’d like to see come back too, Panzer Blitz, Panzer Leader, The Russian Campaign and Wooden Ships & Iron Men. As for miniatures games, I’d like to go back to 1st Edition of Wild West Exodus as the 2nd edition rules are terrible. Maybe it’ll get a 3rd edition and they’ll… Read more »
Great show and wow games I loved and would like to see back
Legends of the West, a wonderful western miniatures game
Warzone and Mutant Chronicles with the original rules and miniatures
Luther Arkwright RPG
Gangster for Fantasy Unlimited
Warhammer Ancient Battle and Warhammer ECW
Warhammer Fantasy Battle
Warhammer Rouge Trader
