So much squash stroking….
Can’t wait for Conan to arrive here.
Scary Justin on the front panel! Don’t hurt me! Don’t hurt me!
Between the times of the Lloydoslavian War . . .
And the rise of the Zombies of Walking Dead . . .
There was an age undreamed of.
And unto this, JUSTIN!
Destined to bear the jeweled crown of Beasts of War upon his troubled brow.
It is I, Oriskany the Chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga!
Let me tell you of the days of HIGH GAMING ADVENTURE!
Lol awesome 🙂
are you guys making Halloween lanterns or re-enacting DELIVERANCE ? @warzan
LOL that was really clever dude 🙂
Happy Weekend! Waiting patiently for my Conan KS!
Justin has never prayed to Crom before; he has no tongue for it. But in his hour where one stands against many, grant his one request: To remove the cellophane quickly and cleanly, and have all the pieces inside and in good shape. And if Crom will not listen, then TO HELL WITH HIM!
Always loved that prayer, when Conan tells his god to go to hell. Interesting theology. 😀
It’s the Weekend!! With a weekender that”s jjust about to unbox the second of three mini based KS boxes that are overdue and I’m still waiting on (seen DFC, you don’t have the new Myth stuff by any chance to complete the trio?). Ho-hum! Bought a couple of Malifaux modela to do in the meantime…
The Malidaux train is gorgeous. A bit of fluff to back it up…
This is the train that carries people through The Breach – the portal between our world and the world of Malifaux. It’s featured in a few of the stories, available through the four books, their Chronicles PDF magazine and their Breachside Broadcast podcast. Lors of fluff for an awesome game.
You think you get a lot of minis in tge Conan retail box? Wait until you see the KS stretch goals…
warren stop stroking what ever that is
!
Certainly, when it comes to the vegetable section, Justin IS Carl Pilkington!
Yes the cupping and stroking was very off putting.
Crom is pleased with Conan
Crom not impressed with butternut
Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That’s what’s important! Valor pleases you, Crom… so grant Justin one request. Grant him revenge upon the butternut squash! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!
Mmmm…. guys, I believe that the different coloured plastic denotes heroes models and the badguys in Conan…..
My butternut risotto will never be the same again…
You remember watching news footage of Harriers? I remember them sliwing down (!?!) Over our house before they dropped down into the woods nearby. Have I mentioned my early teen years growing up on RAF bases in Germany in the 70s?
I want the Phantoms and Lightenings too. They were the soundtrack…
Mythic Battles is coming to KS on Nov 1st, people. You shan’t want to miss this. Come join the conversation 🙂

I so need this Conan game 😛 poor Justin his squash was man handled before he got it haha
Morning guys nice to have something to start the morning.
Happy Saturday… That squash scene was hilarious.
Just cant get excited about buying the new version of BB. I have my old Skaven team from the last version. Plus all my old pitch etc why do i want to buy new stuff.
Backed Conan
There’s another box the same size of stretch goals
Amazing
Warren, there has been a Schaldez oil development.
you need to listen to last nights mayacast , 1hr 31mins into the show the there is something there for you mate.
So curious about the Conan boardgame…
I regret never getting it…
I saw a sea harrier demo at RAF Finningley (now Robin Hood airport) in 1982. It flew BACKWARDS! It was AMAZING!
got my conan a few days ago two huge boxes of awesome, colours of models is heroes and villains, the model justin said was conan isnt conan lol its a bad man, heroes are all in the lighter shade including the wolf which is one of the heros pet
so glad you are covering kingdom death monster.it is in my opinion the most beautiful game on the market. I was fortunate enough to jump on as a late backer and i’m excited to see what Adam has up his sleeve for the kickstarter. I fully expect the reprint to go bananas. quality like this doesn’t come cheap though so save your pennies. you won’t regret it. with you all the way on dungeon crawlers, narrative is the future. I expect to see more imperial assault style skirmish games built into a board game style delivery that builds the tactical… Read more »
I think you will love the video content. It’s the 4th campaign I have started, and I am still shocked and surprised by the game…. so stay tuned.
@doctorether thanks for taking the time to promote the game. I can’t wait.
Happy Weekend guys 😉
Well, the Conan box looks really, really interesting. Not to mention, the quality of the stuff showed is sweet 🙂
I just need to look at the Team Yankee stuff.
I got diagnosed with a spine problem this week where i either stay like a zombie with the meds from now on or take the plunge with very risky surgery, so its been a shitty week. What i needed was a good chuckle and a boost to the old system which you guys delivered in spades. I nearly wet myself when the vaseline came out post butternut stroking and thoroughly enjoyed the show. It seems as though the gaming gods smiled down upon me at such a troublesome time as i also had my Dropfleet commander box arrive which is… Read more »
Glad we could lift some spirits after a bad week, enjoy your Dropfleet this week! 😀
Best of luck mate, hope you’ll be ok.
For the one time I’m watching Weekender on a bus, squash stroking happens. Giggling out loud, I had to put my phone away in worry that someone might catch a glimpse of what the hell is that dude watching in public. 😀
Regarding Conan: I got my pledge this week and man is that stuff beautiful. The minies are so well sculpted and detailed that “it’s a board game” excuse doesn’t apply for not playing with unpainted.
