If you want to avoid the silly story about the Halloween Live show (contains a few beeps) jump to 3:00 in the video.
The next ‘interesting’ bit happens at the 8:00 mark – where we have a KD unboxing of an evil Lady who has built up a collection of erm… appendages…
I remember seeing these KD minis before on BoW. I was half-afraid to post comments because the thread wasn’t “backstage.” Definitely some ridiculously beautiful sculpts. Not sure about the skirt 🙂 but the bodies on these sculpts are so gorgeous . . . are you sure you wouldn’t “donate” a tongue to her dress?
[Oriskany slaps himself]
lol
Believe it or not, the “+1” I got for this comment was from my girlfriend of all people. Weird, right? But apparently she supports the idea of having my tongue ripped out and added to these costumes . . . so she doesn’t have to hear me running my mouth any more. 😐
great program again. Where is the link to wargames tournaments? Looks really good. Warren, you just need to try the forums and see what happens. enough talk, lets see some action.
Agreed on the forums!

Thanks for that, another pile of terrain ordered.
“Give a man a pencil, sharpie, spraycan…. They have an inate urge to draw a Penis” James Cordon said last week on Back chat. Apparently this also applies to sculpters XD
Lots of talk about the quality of the KD sculpts, no mention of who sculpted them. Satan is by Jacques Alexandre Gillois, the Gold Smoke Knight by Thomas David.
Thanks for the info. on the sculptors. 🙂
Thanks for that, we have drum into our heads to have that info at hand!
Happy Sunday!!!!!
Enjoyed this XLBS immensely. 🙂 I jumped on-board the KD:M kickstarter as the style of game mechanic appealed to me. The amazing sculpting work and uniqueness of the pieces being produced was an added bonus. Adam Poots is genius – a very unorthodox genius – but genius nonetheless. I am no great fan of his more bizarre works (Wet Nurse…hoo boy…) but I applaud his determination to produce incredibly designed and lovingly crafted miniatures within a genre which is generally considered taboo. Duncan the pot painter. Yes, it was something I tsk’d at, but despite his indiscretions the painting tutorials… Read more »
I’ve not seen all the GW vids but I only remember him getting inks (definitely shades, maybe glazes) and them weathering thingies from the pot – which I’m totally fine with.
That’s a bad habit too 😉
That’s fine. I’m a bad painter 😉
To be fair he puts the color on a palette and even dilute them with water. He even talks about the use to paint several layers instead of one heavy layer. At least he did this on the Orkanaut.
Great show guys I’m glad I signed up for backstage a couple months ago. loving all of it, specially the interviews with designers. some of the things you commented on in regards to the forums about being complicated sounded similar to your interview with Alessio :).
Justin – Eldar and Dark Eldar were battle brothers in 6th too – they don’t hate each other like dark elves and high elves, they just have more often than not a different point of view on things. think of them as like the ying and yang symbol.
That aint no cloak’o’hot dogs!
I think cross-posting in an high-traffic part of the forum is going to be vital for any system that doesn’t get a lot of traffic in its own forum. And in the spirit of the show, here’s my 7TV thread –
http://www.beastsofwar.com/groups/backstage-green-room/forum/topic/from-the-pages-of-the-invisibles-7tv-presents-division-x/.
Work has stalled on it due to a temporary bout of homelessness but it should resume soom.
Finally, we can make Frog Wars happen. There’s an aspiring game developers thread to bang out an alpha set of rules, get some concept art, then onto KS! Sorted lol.
Personally I’m still in favor of ALL posts in a hub being cross-posted in the genre forum / hub. I think I’ll have to break out MySQL and set up a demo page..
Any advice on avoiding the green-screen problem with flowplayer? I havent had any problems for a while but last 2 weekenders its been green-screening every 10 minutes or so, where i have to refresh the page and let it buffer again
I’ve set memory usage to unlimited already. Anything else I can do? Using chrome.
Its annoying because I enjoy the videos so much!
If you get a green screen while watching this program, try switching to the HTML5 player in your user profile.

Thank the sweet lord of chaos for that Warzan!
Yikes! I was planning to have a sausage sarnie with XLBS. I’ll have porridge instead.
Arrrgggg! My internet is being funny today… I can’t watch XLBS.
I had green screen today. Only the second time I’ve ever had it on the site.
I see I’m not the only one having problems… not green screen of death, but regul…..ar interruptions of… service every…. 5-10 sec…onds making this almost unw….atchable (despite the cache bar being a t least a good 10mins ahead of what I’m watching)
Sod’s effing law… it green screens me within seconds of posting the last comment!
Try switching to the HTML5 player in your user profile.
http://www.beastsofwar.com/members/PUT_YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE/profile/edit/group/3
I had that too, before and after I reloaded it following the green screen. I found that it stopped once the entire running time had loaded up.
yep its green screening for me too:-( at 50:33
Try the HTML 5 player 🙂
watching on my PC i don’t have software to play HTML 5 or at least that is what its is telling me when I switch.
I think I have bought some of the war games tournaments stuff off eBay. It stands up pretty well next to other MDF and the price is right.
Also, I think there is a zombie version of castle panic (called dead panic) that has more or less the same mechanics, but it is about keeping the zombies out of the remote cabin the players are stranded in. Both versions seem pretty cool.
Ah man, I think Castle Panic is the dullest game I’ve ever played, in the 2 games I played, a couple of blokes just worked out the card swaps and plays by looking at everyone’s open hand. Probably unfair on the game, and more of a comment on the group.
Noooo, ruined by the green screen of death!
I may be wrong, but isn’t the presence of a minus sign before the limited edition print number an indication that these may be the casting equivalent equivalent of an “Artist Proof” (from the art world)?
Why would GW possibly want people to paint from the pot when (apart from not being able to control the paint consistency):
– The paint will dry out quicker so you’ll end up throwing it away and buying another
– you’ll risk getting pigment particles too far up the brush-head, destroying the effectiveness of the brush point… meaning you have to buy another…
Oh… hang on!
I would like to see Myth featured as a game the guys play. My kickstarter will – hopefully – be arriving soon…
I agree – wasn’t Sam meant to be putting together a mini-series on it or couldn’t he handle the rule issues? I know there are lots of other sources for such videos on the web (including Megacon themselves) but a BoW take soon would be good…
… especially as the preview box was visible by Sam’s butt all through the weekender!!
12 min in and I’m crying !!!
“Oh lord the sangauinor” I dunno what Sam’s talking about *memory kicks in* OH GOD!
HTML 5 fixed the issue. Cheers @warzan
I’m very pleased to report that I had no problems at all with the streaming since I’ve switched to the HTML 5 option.
Forums plans sound fine for me and I’me not bothered about a bit of sensible cross-posting.
Hey guys, Castle Panic has been in the States for a few years. The creators recently released “Zombie Panic” version of the game. I haven’t played it,but my local game store says the twist is that one of you teammates may become a Zombie. Look for that version.
