first, happy sunday everyone
It’s the XLBS SHOW………Happy Sunday CoGs! Where do you find those intros? This week’s moving images could give nightmares to kiddos! Love the Hassle-Free Miniatures. I’ve bought several over the years. Well done on those! I’ve followed SORASTRO’S miniatures painting videos. In particular, the SW Legion and Marvel: Crisis Protocol vids. Nicely done shows. Of course, I’m still hoping to see a vid from @avernos on painting with INKs. I myself stopped buying X-Wing when it went 2.0……Of course the wife and I still play what we have in 1.0 but have not bought a single new ship is quite… Read more »
I just finished Metro 2033. It was tedious I have to say
Reading or playing?
Aw that game is still one of my favourites, best setting I’ve played. Though you need to play ranger mode, it balances out alot of technical problems… but not all 🙂
The book is….. different…. 😉
Happy Sunday everyone! Enjoying the show with my morning coffee…still fuming about the new heroquest too.
Happy Sunday to a new crew!
GuildBall churned their way through seasons, cards, updated models until all they had left was a dedicated competitive scene – they’d driven away the casual players like me to the point they weren’t doing the volume to justify continuing. (Not going to stop me playing with whatever out-of-date cards I got with the original Kickstarter.
My original GW Empire models will one day make a great generic human army for some other system. Various SpaceMarines less so.
Really interesting chat today chaps. I think you’ve hit the nail on the head with money and time being the main issues that can cause people to fall out of love with a game. Companies have to constantly launch new “product” in order to keep people spending, but as Lloyd mentions this means casual players are then quickly behind the “meta”. Something quick to play is increasingly important too, it shouldn’t take hours to play. It’s one thing that’s interested me about Conquests mechanics that not all the army is on the table in turn one…..means less unit activations and… Read more »
Happy Sunday everyone. Really happy to see the Metro project get a golden button, great set of books and I’ve really enjoyed following the project. Well deserved Golden Button. Great show, hopefully Sundancer will be making further appearances in future XLBS
Only if they can find me again! 😉
Come on you crazy German, there Irish they can find anyone anytime anywhere.
Next book tank decals for Dummies?
Where do I buy that!
At were to buy books for Dummies?
Happy Sunday
Good morning and happy Sunday
Happy Sunday all
Sundancer on an XLBS we are blessed this week lads
Slam advert took a “twist”..!!!
*liquid slam*
Die!
Thank you for the Golden Button guys 😀
Yay let the lunacy begin.
Happy Sunday CoGs all around the hobby.
Too many rules to look up / books needed to play 40k plus the ball-aching game length killed it for me.Let alone running into an alpha-striker at my flgc.
So you
ve meet OTTs Justin, what`s he like in real life.😀
Live from John’s cell sundancer.
Gerry you need a long pipe and a Gray cloak an you’ll be Gandalf.
I have a green walnut petersen’s pipe if that helps?
Lol
Warzan sub contracts his figures.
What kills a game for me is probably playing it too much and starting to look for pastures new
Lovein the model disco in the background sundancer.
The release of second edition killed x-wing for me. Having to spend so much money just to replace the cardboard was just far too much. Going on about what Tim said I’m quite glad I stopped when I did. I used to be really into the Batman miniatures game, but Knight Models is adamant about trying to piss on that bonfire too. I played a lot in first edition, loved the idea of second with its cleaned up rules, had a few games of second, but not as many do to life getting in the way. Then third edition dropped,… Read more »
The models could be used in other game’s?
I’m not a number! I’m a free man! *runs off*
Lol.
Have a hot bath and sit on it Gerry.?
