The Weekender: Wolsung, Bikers & A New 40K Starter Set?
July 12, 2014 by dignity
It's Saturday and that means it's Weekender time! We'll be diving back into the Wolsung Kickstarter as it comes towards its final few days on Kickstarter and also revving up our engines for a look at the new Gale Force Nine board game, Sons of Anarchy: Men of Mayhem!
As well as that we chat all things Stormclaw and this new boxed set from Games Workshop for Warhammer 40,000 - Space Wolves & Orks, what's not to love!
Justin also gets to sit down with Carlos from Corvus Belli and talk Infinity (themed week in the works!) and there's even an inkling of a prize for our Backstagers too - an Iguana Squad!
Warren is also off on his holidays so he talks gaming on the go and of course we announce the winner of Reznik The Wrath of Ages from last weeks show!
Quite a bumper episode I'd say!

Warren, that yellow sub (called “the flying sub” is from an American TV show called “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea”
I was just about to say that, myself!
Loved the flying sub, but I can’t remember the name of the main submarine, with the cool hatch underneath for the little sub.
Seaview was the main sub.
What about Stingray…that could leave the water
I’ve got my coffee, i’ve got my confortable sofa, i’m ready for a new episode of BoW Weekender !
Hi guys ! Always a pleasure to see you on Saturday morning with my coffee mug !
See you tomorrow !
Lots to do this saturday – better watch this before the chores begin!
Think I’ll head on over to Starbucks and watch my weekender there this morning.
Good to see you all mentioning Deep Wars. Its a decent little game that I have backed twice now on KS.
Yes, some Deep Wars coverage would be great :). I’m definitely going to be picking this one up.
On the subject of summer gaming, we are taking the latest MTG fat pack (unopened) with us. I am now worried that it will be too competitive ! It was the wife’s idea not mine so maybe her idea of a holiday is grinding me into the ground!
good show, west wind productions do a range called road kill that has bikers
For the shimmering water look, for an easy way to do it, shine the light through a fan, or even take a large transparent platter with water in it and hang it under the light.
For coral, paint up some of the more rough lava rock. Use it in conjunction with foam similar to some of the wood chip hills commonly used
There is a biker dwarf bloodbowl team dome by Neomics. It has a couple of guys on bikes as well.
Best co-op games for me are zombicide and pandemic. Both very thematic and a lot of fun win or lose.
Enjoy your break Warren.
STORMCLAW: http://www.games-workshop.com/en-EU/Sanctus-Reach-Stormclaw-EN
Two forces from existing sprues except for an ‘exclusive boss’ each, with small format 40k rules. £75
& 32 page Stormclaw Campaign Supplement contains three missions that use the miniatures in the box
It’s about £105 in australia, apparently GW still hates us…
$150 in Canada. Sadly I swore off buying GW stuff, but it is still fun to see the new pretties…
I have tickets to an Angel masterclass and his seminar. Smug mode engaged 🙂
Nice Ben, hope you have a good break away, youve earnt it for all your hard work over the years. 🙂
Thanks 🙂
I missed the master class but I will be at the Angel and Bostira seminars.
Maybe we can talk Cb into having a few beers at the meet up.
Hells Angels chopper riders for IG Rough riders… HELLZ YEAH
Holiday game… Plop Trumps… *Jokes*
Have a great break Warren 🙂 and I’ll look forward to next weeks show!
How about Pandemic as a holiday game? It’s a co-op, the box is small, and it doesn’t have a big set-up.
A nice game which i recently had with me in my last holiday with my girlfriend is Game of Thrones HBO edition card game. It is competitive but very narrative, characters that we all love, excellent replayability thanks to the several plot cards, and it doesn’t break conversation. I actually suggest it if you are fan of the TV show (who isn’t?), and i found it perfect has holiday game. Highly recommended!
Infinity is testing my resolve quite a bit, my wallet shudders.
I can’t wait to see what Angels secret project is
My favourite camping game so far is The Duke. Fantastic little game, all those wooden tiles, gas camping light for illumination – very cool.
Unfortunately, it’s basically chess on steroids; so it’s competitive and has no narrative – not what you were looking for at all!
Try Roadkill models for bikers even includes werewolf biker gang for weird fans
Good show as always guys looking forward to the Ice Storm stuff
You learn all sorts of strange things on the weekender…. stripper glitter?
The most played game on camping trips was farting contests (I never won)
Zombies Keep Out is a good co-op game. I would also suggest Pandemic. Also try Elder Sign or Space Hulk Death Angel by FFG.
Also the Star Trek and Resident Evil deck building games have co-op game modes.
so what you have to do to win Iguana set from infinity?
You just did it.
Lord of the rings lcg from fantasy flight is a damn fine co op game, and can be fiendishly difficult.
Yeah, agreed. Although I love the Pathfinder ACG the setup time and the sheer number of cards is something I wouldn’t want to deal with while camping.. so I agree that the Lord of the Rings LCG base set would be a great idea. It’s about.. £25, it’s a great cooperative experience and if you build two decks before you go away, you can leave the box at home and fit all the components in a tupperware box.
You could try “The Quiet Year” a narrative map drawing game. You just need a deck of cards and a pen & paper.
A really good cooperative and story-driven board game to play with your other half and children is mice and mystics.
