Video Sponsors: Kings of War - Warmacnine
Welcome back folks! With Infinity Week 2013 coming to a close we'll be discussing the amazing artwork we've been seeing and there is even a nice surprise to look out for later on today.
As well as that we'll be talking Warmachine: Tactics which is heading to Kickstarter on July 10th and Q-Con was last weekend so we'll be discussing the experiences from those few days of awesome gaming and overall hilarity.
Stu has also thrown the gauntlet down for a his Journeyman League here at Tabletop Nation which should be plenty of fun! The link to that is below.
There is also a shout out for those of you wanting to write articles and news for Beasts of War. If you think you have what it takes then get in contact! As an example check out Lee Trayler's work which featured throughout the Eldar Codex Breakdown week...
And the competitions don't stop there. We're also giving away an awesome Spartacus board game prize alongside the expansions too!

Oh man, I’m with you Stu. A couple isn’t two when used to refer to a unit of distance or time or it would make liars of us all 😉
I have this conversation with my wife an awful lot lol
Your powers are weak old man… I heard the click, but no day glow pictures!
lol well i dont see you posting them here… 😛
I love you Justin, that costume was awesome!!!
Congrats on the engagement mate!
Can you do articles on conversions? How to, what you like to do and what you guys have done would be good. I always like seeing new creations, so seeing what others are doing would be a bonus!
Nothing about the Apocalypse or Iyanden – hmmm……
I’ve posted along these lines elsewhere but it’s worth repeating and expanding here. Going forward you are extremely unlikely to see entire themed ‘Weeks’ for anything GW release. It will get coverage, sure, and there are areas where it can be improved but those wanting a return of the ‘Nid Week’ style of 40k coverage will have to accept that in the current climate it is impossible to deliver. Not a case of lack of will or excitement, just too many barriers in the way of the guys at BoW. The odd article series for sure, Eldar got quite a… Read more »
C&Ds bombardment we take it?
You can really see the difference when you see how other companies actually like to engage with the fan base
love seeing GW doing this to themselves …
I am starting a journeyman league tomorrow at the carlisle wargames club, should be fun
if only the convergance had came in a day earlier… 🙂
Bow Justin
I should win the Spartacus Expansion in exchange for use of that photo of Justin I took lol Glad you like that photo though dude….or are those 2 the only ones taken of you? Cos I don’t think I’ve ever seen any others!
Félicitations Justin !!!
That was a great Weekender guys 😀
Jumping on what you said about cultural gaming difference, I think it would be interesting to compare the ways people play.
For article ideas, how about a review/discussion of up and coming board/card games on kickstarter? There’s loads of interesting stuff there.
I was sad to see the galleon in the Trip get glassed in. Health and Safety gone mad!
Congratulations Justin 🙂
You should take Justin to the Trip to Jerusalem for his stag night. Dress him up as a Crusader get him pissed and put him on a plane to Israel……
Congrats J. Great news.
I F’ing love that idea!!!!
@stuart Crusaders wore assless chaps too, right?
oh for the love of god… well atleast im not ending the night chained to a goat… 😛
Chained into a goat more like 😉
Oh but they have goats in Israel…
Assless chainmail chaps, sure.
Great idea :3

I’d love to see some humorous little articles like that guy used to do in white dwarf (Mike Walken, was it?), Not necessarily about warhammer.
Great show guys.
2 articles, video’s I would like to see.
Interview/ reviews on outstanding sculptors, They are a large part of the hobby, but often work in the background without people always knowing who they are or what they are working on.
The other is tips on things like. liquid effects and other techniques, ie, dripping blood, simple water effects, etc
Congrats Justin, may all your troubles be wee ones….
moondee29 from youtube here. Ideas for articles – House Rules Around The Globe/The World. Idea is to cover a particular dubious/problematic aspect/rule of a particular game AND collect (and share) stories from different small and large gamestores/gaming clubs from all around the world/globe. These stories could cover a variety, from the most to the least, of practical/logical/funniest/craziest/stupid house rules. The articles apart from introducing an “international” flavor, would cover the reasons, history, use, practicality, etc of the house rules and other peculiar stories associated with those in that particular club. These articles could maybe help some other places to streamline… Read more »
I second manpug’s idea, articles on conversions would be great to see, as there are people (like myself) who focus their entire hobby around converting and even scratch building models.
when we will get more dreadball academy, i really want the game but until i can get it i am watching these to keep me going
it got a little held up, i’ll have it go live on monday, not counting for any major changes to the plans.
Infinity week was great fun. Can’t wait for the special video!
Some Ideas for Articles. Def more articles like the recent ones on the history of the Eldar, more Fluff history and not just 40k but all games, it could be called something like Wargaming Lore. Articles on the History of the hobby and how companys, mini lines and rules have grown over the years and where they got their start. More Tactics videos or articles, i’m not saying cheese but legit tactics and list building strategies. You could do stuff on fan made stuff and rules that others could use to add a extra dimension to their games. More articles… Read more »
Really fun to watch fellas, made up for last week 🙂
Congrats Justin, I would love articles about how to been a gamer while rising a child, wich is pretty hard…
B.
I would love to see some sculpting and conversion guides
Bah wished I lived near Tabletop Nation.
My, my. A shout-out and praise in the Weekender. I shall get ideas above my station.
