The Weekender Returns! With Dropzone Commander!
February 8, 2014 by dignity
We're back for the first episode of The Weekender for 2014! First up sorry it's a little late as we've been running around like mad to add the finishing touches to Studio One.
Warren and Lloyd have been off in England filming even more cool content for the whole community and while there Warren got himself in to the latest Dropzone Commander tournament. We'll be chatting about all this and more, and if that's not enough gaming goodness for you we have XLBS coming out tomorrow morning to give you that Sunday dose of Beasts of War that you've been craving!
Happy Gaming!
Welcome back! It’s great to have the weekender back, it has been missed.
Good to be back!
I’ve only watched up to the break as I need to go out, so catch I’ll catch up later. It will need a second viewing as I get distracted by all the shiny boxes on shelves.
Anyway it’s great to see the weekender back and best of all studio 1 up and running. All this on the day I get my monthly notification from PayPal that my subs have been paid. A timely reminder of the small price we pay for all this great content.
Superb to see you guys back again. Was gutted to miss out on the Dropzone tourny but it gives me more time to get my PHR painted up.
Looking forward to getting a peek at Myth in the XLBS.
Nice set and great description by Warren of his UCM force and their battle progress.
If he is following the ‘Kelly’s Heroes’ theme, there has be be a Moriarty…
Get a table !!
Too much sausage on view !!
Glad you are back on the toob !!
Were gonna feel weird filming now 😉
Welcome back guys, so pleased to see the weekend back and well done on the studio, it looks fantastic.
About time, was getting withdrawal symptoms…
Seriously considering Dcz, leaning towards the Shaltari.
Only faction to whitewash me at the tournament. fascinating army!
I just borrowed a copy of the army book from a friend of mine and have been looking through for a faction. Was torn between the Scourge and the Shaltari, but have settled on the Shaltari. The idea of teleporting around just seems too much fun
Great show, great set, it’s like looking at my shopping list especially the old school At-At, looking forward to more, especially more Deadzone, thanks guys.
You read it here first folks – withdrawal symptoms and too much sausage.
There has to be at least one double entendre there 🙂
Are you going to make a tour around the Studio 1 for us?
Cheers
I just got my DZC starter set, I am super excited about playing my first game. Now if only I can get these 40k guys to join me.
good to see you back and the studio looks lovely (currently very jealous of that fire) pleased to be able to look forward to these at the weekend again
Welcome Back!!! We missed you!!!
GoPro3’s or even the older versions of GoPro’s – smaller than a wallet and can produce HQ video at a great cost. Size of them means they can be placed on the battle tables at floor-level angles.
Go pros are somthing were definately looking into
Sweet as!!! I hope Studio one survives these gale force winds!! Good to see you back. I like the backdrop… Gaming eye-candy….
Welcome back!
If Hawk could PHR in plastic like they did for Scourge and UCM then they’d be massive sellers. Awesome models. Sci-fi wargaming tends to be modern wargaming projected into the future. What I like most about DZC is it’s one of the few games that captures 21st century warfare, and doesn’t just feel like WW2 in space.
Yes, this. DZC’s emphasis on mobility, with the aid of transports, is what makes it feel like a really futuristic game. Most scifi battle games just feel like lining up Napoleonic era units for opposed charges, with the occasional spot of cover (and the rest are tactical skirmish games). DZC really looks like something that captures the chaos of constantly shifting lines (many of which aren’t really “lines”) and unit-on-unit skirmishes that play out within the context of a larger battle. I’m increasingly interested in this game, though my funds are just too thin to jump into it right now.
great to have you back on our screens guy’s, DZC? …………..another game i need to look at! you are doing my wallet no good!……………
cheers

If you build it we will come.
It’s built 😉
I played my first game of DZC last week. I enjoyed the game although I think I would like to branch out beyond “objective-in-the-building” scenarios. Still really good mechanics and awesome looking armies. I already have a rather large UCM force, just need to find time to paint them all.
As a Myth backer all I have to say is…ARGH!!! I want it soooo bad.
Anyway welcome back guys. Looking forward to more videos.
The new studio looks great! So many games to play! I spied Space Crusade on the shelf there, so how about a look at some older games like that, maybe with a demo game perhaps? 🙂
Loving the new studio guys, spent the entire show trying to see what all the goodies on the shelves were. I haven’t played DZC yet. I did buy a PHR starter army when they had the pre release offers on, and they are indeed some of the cleanest resin sculpts I’ve ever owned. As well produced as the Studio Mcvey stuff to be honest, although obviously very different types of models. The brown is perhaps a reaction between the resin release and the paint thinners (tamiya spray paint has their thinner in it, and it does discolour if you mix… Read more »
I think your right, it may well be release agent!
Silly hobby mistake on my part.
Hello guys
It’s great to see you back up and running. Love the new studio and all the hard work you have put into Beasts of War. I enjoyed hearing about a new game that I have never tried and hope to see a return of the older series. Keep up the tremendous efforts. And as Will Wheaton says “Play more games!”
The studio looks great! (Please fix Justin’s mic!)
Has this been filmed in Studio One? If so then it looks great! 😀
It has indeed 🙂
