Looks like a little case of insomnia pays off. Nothing like a little backstage at 1 in the morning.
I love content on a sunday. As a family man i try to sqeeuze the weekender and the xlbs in somewhere. Spreading it out makes it easier for me to do this. Love the show by the way.
Inheritance – Contact with Chapters or Worlds that are willing to join
Sort of an extreme reformation: White washing (laser blasting) and destroying iconography and relics. The burning and execution of Librarians and Chaplins.
This could lead to the set up of an Inheritor’s Inquisition to hunt down the remaining heretics. Could also be played as a skirmish game like Necromunda or Deadzone. I’ve not played Inquisitor but I assume that would work.

Another great show! @stu i can remember the section of the story you mean, but not which book. Similarly though the Horus heresy book called Outcast Dead had one of the proto-marines from the unification wars in it, and there was a bit of exploration as to the fact they all died in the Unification Wars and that the Emporer no longer required them. He almost seemed to make sure they all died, then created the not as powerful but more stable and longer lived Space Marines for the start of the Great Crusade. It came across to me that… Read more »
I prefer the xlbs on the Sunday. I always find it a struggle to watch both on a Saturday due to family commitments. I know I could leave one till the Sunday but I can’t help but watch them.
I’ve been looking for reaper paints for some time but don’t know where to buy them.
Sunday is perfect for the xlbs.
A lot if marines might side with the inheritors if they could believe them not to be traitors to the emperor. A large amount of chapters do not worship the emperor he is revered but only as the father not as a god.
hey there great show. One little question. you talked about the inheritors not having Space Marines because they were not technically human and the inheritance force as learned not to accept anything that wasn’t “pure” human . But Primachs are the the very origins of Space Marines, like super Space Marines. So why would a force who have learned to reject Space Marines willing follow the one of the ultimate Space Marines, especially since they do not have any of the superstitions they would been seen as gods. I think it could make more sense that there still been a… Read more »
This sounds right. They should see themselves as protectors of pure humanity but outside of it.
I like the spread of programs over the course of the week, including XLBS on Sunday.
Games: how about something based on Battle of the Planets, loved that as a kid!
I useally watch it on sundays anyway
the inheritors could also be placed in stasis at the end of it all. just to be ready for the next threat to utopia
I could see a big story based campaign going on with the Inquisition trying to take out the heretics. Could be really fun!
Good show again guys. Look forward to next weekend.
Back in 80ties there was ZX spectrum Ghostbusters game I used to play as a kid. There was – lets call it – strategic phase, where you would drive ghostbusters car around the city and take on some simple missions. I m not sure but I guess you could pick one of three different type of cars and customize it with several types of equipment. Then there was “tactical” phase where you actually tried to catch some ghosts. I think such approach would work also for table game. Strategic phase could be more like board / card game, while tactical… Read more »
2000AD would be my Ghostbusters/Star Wars. Being exposed to the likes of Pat Mills, Alan Moore, and Grant Morrison back in the mid-80’s had a massive impact on me.
As a non-40K player, if Inheritence is going to start getting weekly coverage I’d prefer it if it had its own show.
No strong preference either way on Saturday or Sunday for XLBS.
The Emporer was very powerful psyker. I get the feeling all the Primarchs are also very attuned/ psykic in some way. They must know this. The Primarchs would realise controlled magic was essential to mans survival but should not be given free reign in the empire. They would treat magic as a science but NOT as a religion. This is very different to having zero tolerance to psykers.
You’ve go to ask the question “is the world ready for copper coloured ghosts ?”
Xlbs on a Sunday is fine with me , I quite often watch it Sundays.
Glad to hear there are a lot more backstagers now.
Sunday makes sense for me, breaks it up a bit.
I quite like the Sunday xlbs , spreads the content out nicely.
And for the various mentiones, you can get reaper stuff in the UK from http://miniature-heroes.co.uk/
Prefer the XLBS on a Sunday, good call. Well done with the added Backstagers also, onwards and upwards lads.
sunday is excellent day for XLBS, cos it takes my mind out of monday work.
Another +1 for the move to Sunday. I often waste so much of Saturday hitting f5 on your site waiting for XLBS 🙂
Sunday great day for XLBS, Ghost busters would be fun if done right as some one else said 2000 AD has a lot of cool stuff that could make great games.
I love the fact that we will be getting 2 painting vids on a Tuesday though my wife nearly choked to death when I told her Romain was painting a purple worm and it was even worse when she heard some of the comments Romain made about the worm.( She has a strange sense of humour at times)
quite like the idea of a Sunday show breaks the weekend up
Thanks a lot Warren for showing us your Space Marines. They look cool, standing in front of you guys. Is there any chance to see some close ups?
For me – Sunday morning normally starts with watching the weekender – so there will be no difference if you split it to Saturday-weekender and Sunday-weekender xlbs. 😉
Being a great fan of WARMACHINE and HORDES, it is just fun to see and hear other players out there having the same amount of fun. And remember painting minis is always good, getting extra points does it even make better.
Good to see you on a Sunday guys
