It's time for the return of Bolt Action Locked & Loaded! This time the guys are talking about some of the tactics you can explore during your World War II games concerning High Explosive Shells.
Sometimes the best offensive tactic is to dig in and do some ambushing in Bolt Action. Chez from Warlord Games and Justin talk about the kind of advantages and disadvantages there are in employing these orders in battle.
In this episode we're looking at a vehicle Imperials can use in Warzone: Resurrection, the Greyhound LAFV. This light vehicle has the the ‘Chimney’ Gas Cannon mounted on its tracks, one of the less common and very deadly weapon types in the game.
At first look you may think that the Greyhound LAFV might be near impossible to beat but don't fret as Rob from Prodos Games will give you hope as he shows Justin which tactics you can use to stop it.
It wouldn't be fantasy without some magic and Kings of War doesn't disappoint. In this video Justin and Rich from Mantic Games show off some of the magic spells that can be cast in the game including Bane Chant and Lighting Bolt!
In the XLBS edition of the show we have more magic to help your faction protect, attack and defend in Kings of War. We've got spells for all tastes such as Fireball and Windblast.
The miniatures of Wild West Exodus have plenty of options when it comes to traversing terrain and in this episode we show you some cool scenarios detailing how they can utilise climbing, jumping and throwing (from a balcony!) amongst other movements and actions.
Justin and Sean from Outlaw Miniatures have looked at Chaining Standard Actions together but there is more for them to look at as they play out some scenarios utilising special actions.
We have not one but two Dropzone Commander UCM units to look at in this episode of Drop Tactics. We have the dual tank carrying the Condor Medium Dropship and the Smart Smoke deploying Longbow Howitzers.
UCM players, we have a video that will be right up your street, as Warren and Simon from Hawk Wargames create a 1500 point list perfect for Dropzone Commander tournaments. How will it differ to Warren's?
We enter the world of Warzone: Resurrection as Justin and Rob from Prodos Games discover how to get the best out of the Cybertonic Hero the Immortal.
You have just seen how Justin's Cybertronic Hero can lay waste to some Brotherhood troopers but what can Rob do you ensure the Immortal doesn't have it all his way?
It's time for action on the Kings of War battlefield as Justin pits the might of the Dwarf army against the Undead hordes controlled by Rich from Mantic Games. Who will win this epic contest?
In our first game we had a winner and a loser so naturally revenge is on the cards! Both armies have made some changes to ensure that another epic Kings of War battle is imminent.
Justin and Sean from Outlaw Miniatures look into how you can build your Wild West Exodus posse starting off at $500 and working up to $1000 (think of dollars as points!) using the Enlightened faction as an example.
We have built our Enlightened posse and it's ready for a shoot-out. What does it take to tackle them though? In this video we take a look into what Wild West Exodus units work best against the different characters that make up the posse.
We could have titled this video "Warren's Favourite Episode" as we look at how his Dropzone Commander UCM army can utilise the Ferrum and the Starsprite Drones which they launch. Watch to find out what happens when the Drones combine their shots.
The Drones launched by the UCM Ferrum can be tricky to deal with, so with that in mind we discuss what Scourge, Shaltari & PHR players can do to ensure that they can destroy them successfully in their games of Dropzone Commander.
We kick off our new series delving into Warzone: Resurrection with a demo game between Justin's Imperials and Rob from Prodos Games' Dark Legion as they explore the basics of the game.
Now we enter the Bauhaus compound for our second demo game. They are taking on the Cybertronic forces in this battle as we take a look into the more advanced rules of the game such as rapid and scout deployment.
Welcome to our new series where Justin is joined by Rich from Mantic Games to help us get into Kings of War. In this episode they discuss the changes the 2nd Edition rules brings to the game.
Now that you have been introduced to Kings of War and its Updated Rules what do you need to build your army? In this first XLBS video we breakdown the units you need to get a legal army on the tabletop ready for battle.
We are kicking off our new series where Justin is joined by Sean from Outlaw Miniatures to explore the world of Wild West Exodus. In this episode they discuss what it takes to get set up with a faction in the game.
For our first XLBS Edition of Exploring Exodus we look at how Terrain can effect your gaming experience in Wild West Exodus. From the large of buildings by Micro Art Studios to small barrels and cacti we've got you covered!
We take a look at the behemoth of the PHR army; the Hades Super-Heavy Walker and discuss how Dropzone Commander players can utilise this beast and its tail mounted Super-Heavy Rail Repeater to terrorise opposing forces.
You've seen how PHR players can utilise the Hades walker but what about tackling the beast if you're a UCM, Scourge or Shaltari player? In this video we show you how your Dropzone Commander army can fight the Hades on land and in the air too.
Łukasz from Micro Art Studio joins us once more to focus on one of Warren's favorite Wolsung miniatures, Snorri Rottstein on his Golemic Flea and tells us how he can assist in getting Golems quickly across the board.
For this XLBS edition of Wolsung Stratagems Warren and Łukasz learn more about hard hitting Xenah Qiang of the Triad of Lotus Dragon. She wields a devastating weapon and can hit as hard as a boosted Security Golem.
Justin & John discuss how they intend to expand their armies beyond their starter sets. Chez of Warlord Games also advises us about the use of Pinning Markers in the game and what it takes to lock a unit in position.
Chez and Justin break out the minis to take you through the basics of running a good demo game of Bolt Action in its simplest form. No big tanks, no massive guns, just a good old fashioned infantry firefight.
Welcome back to The Weekender that took a bit of a hiatus last week due to our Salute coverage which was awesome but very tiring!
Drop Tactics – Choosing The Right Dropship
10 years ago 7For this episode of Drop Tactics we are looking at dropships but more specifically knowing which one to use at the right time to help you in your games of Dropzone Commander.
We've discussed Choosing the Right Dropship but now comes another important topic, Choosing the Right Commander for your Dropzone Commander army.
Warren and Łukasz from Micro Art Studio attempt to kill an Ogre Bruiser in one turn with one model in a game of Wolsung. To do it they have a behemoth of a Golem to help them (and a tiny one too).
In the XLBS edition of Wolsung Stratagems Warren and Łukasz from Micro Art Studio get to grips with the charge mechanic and discover how using your support and biding your time affects it.
For this Drop Tactics we take a look at how UCM players can effectively use the Katana Light Tanks in Dropzone Commander, a lighter alternative to the Sabre Battle Tanks.
So you've seen us discuss tactics for using the Katana in Dropzone Commander but now on Drop Tactics XLBS we look into how you can stop this UCM tank dead in its tracks.
Our series covering Wolsung with Micro Art Studio's Łukasz Perzanowski continues with a look at Sir Zachary Fiercebatten III and his two trusty hounds, ready to sniff out Sir Zachary's enemies.
For this XLBS episode of Wolsung Stratagems Łukasz from Micro Art Studio walks Warren through some of the nice abilities of the Triad of Lotus Dragon's Ata Kijao Orc Kunoichi, including wielding deadly ninja stars.
