Happy Weekend all! Nice long episode this week, perfect!
It’s the Weekend!
Jeez… I guess the question should be :
“If you could win a real Giant Killer Robot, what would you use it for?”
Remembering “BoW be nice” rules… don’t want to stress out our Community Nurse!
Lots of Necromunda at club, with mostly bashed together non-GW model crews…
Please don’t spoil it GW!
If you find that they have spoiled it in your opinion, you can just carry on as you have been. It’s no lose for you buddy 🙂
If the rules really are a reboot of the old system without much change then you can probably houserule stats for your old gangs with little effort.
An ornament, let’s face it at the tonnage something like that would be and the damage it would cause just moving around its pretty useless.
I really want Giant Killer Robots… but I spent all my money on the Relic Knights Kickstarter. Lol!
Well, as for the steampunk dwarfs… Nows a great time to be a squat collector lol.
Hooray! Jamy dance for me! Now, do I need a box of Monty’s Desert Rats or Rommel’s Afrika Corp? Tough decisions on a Saturday morning. More coffee to help me decide….
Yay, happy weekend everyone 😀 . Didn’t go in for GKR, my wallet made me wait for CMON’s Rising Sun, it couldn’t cope with both 🙁 . Nice to hear about 4Grounds Fabled Realms, the artwork is really great looking and i look forward to hearing more and the KS dropping. Loving the fact that CMON have a GoT mini’s game coming, i’m hoping that you can play at a skirmish level, my need for massed battle games has waned over the years to a large degree. As far as GW’s Shadow War goes, it doesn’t do anything for me.… Read more »
Weekender time. I really like all the new stuff from GW. The dwarfs looks amazing, Love the air pirates thing they have going. Its nice to see dwarfs are not just living underground 😉
The game lore/story from the 4Ground game, reminds me a bit about dragon age. So its definitely something that i would be looking forward to see more of. I love the look at the models and that every guy have a little story.
I’d pick up the not-Necromuda terrain for Deadzone 😉
Good weekender!
I love the excitement in the 4 Ground guys’ voices when they talk about their game. The passion really shows.
@dignity is right. Because when he’s right….
Though he’s not right about A Song of Ice & Fire being the other way around.
Really would like to back GKR, but Kingdom Death Monster told me no 🙁
I really want Giant Killer Robots
I was prepared to be underwhelmed with the foreground boys new game, but as others said ……. They were sooooo damned enthusiastic…. they knew their stuff because it was their stuff, they have lived it, breathed it, and built it for over a decade. Down to all their minis have a backstory…. (this is when it occurred to me that I have far too much in common with these lads, to be underwhelmed) ……. I can’t wait to see what they do with this ….. I went over to their website to check out their terrain while the interview was… Read more »
Oh and I usually try to avoid posting on videos when their are prizes I don’t want, but I desperately wanted to say something about those foreground boys.
I am not into giant robots, if I win redraw or give it to @hellboy . cheers
They are that enthusiastic in real life too, top blokes to chat to at shows and amazing company at the boot camp.
Agreed. Very nice chaps who love their gaming and a few beers 🙂
Their fantasy range is sweet I’m hoping that as a result of their new game we’ll be seeing some new stuff coming out. Still want to see the Roman fort that was mentioned during the walking dead bootcamp
You can always get them to re-draw the prize if you win and you don’t want it – I’m guessing they would just roll some more D10s. 🙂
No GKR for me as I was hoping for better models with more detail at those size. I do like the support vehicles though. GW have certainly pushed in a different direction with this new force…Up. Be interesting to see how they work within the universe and on the tabletop, no real opinion yet but they have some nice sculpts and could be used in any number of other games with cool house rules and story driven campaigns. E.g. You could now do the race to the pyramid and play out all of the Mummy 2 movie, or any number… Read more »
Interesting your thoughts about GKR not being detailed. A lot of popular miniature/tabletop miniatures are overly detailed these days – not a bad thing! 🙂 – but I felt the GKR heavy hitters actually had just the right amount of detail for the design aesthetic. Not saying you are ‘wrong’, just interesting opinion.
Totally agree about the 4ground team, I am almost as excited by what they are doing as they are!
The comic in the GKR box to quickly get players into the theme of the game is a brilliant idea, great immersion.
Opinions vary but those GW dwarfs are dreadful.
IMO.
I like the airships and the characters but as you say, opinions vary.
Great show guys!
(as always)
Happy weekend everyone!
Hahaha it’s so true! Every time I go to the GW store in Belfast I come out with stuff I had no intention of buying. My wife would complain how stupid I was; so one day I sent my wife in to get some Agrax earthshade. She came out with the citadel shade paint SET and a copy of White Dwarf that I already had. Definitely a Jedi working in GW in Belfast.
Your wife and my wife need to talk… 😀 😀
I actually don’t mind the steampunk dwarves. I don’t like them enough to buy them, but they are interesting. Shame about the rest of the GW stuff. It all just feels really uninspired. Like an attempt to sell existing stuff by strip mining the past, without actually adding anything new. Boring!
The Fabled Realms stuff looks OK, but seems more memorable for the excitement of the 4ground guys than the setting itself. There’s some nice models though.
Great show guys as always.
Yes, totally agree – I forget to say this every week!
i like the plastic tubs the idea the heavy hitter come in.
The 4Ground minis look awesome, right up my alley!
Can’t wait 😎
Good morning all, happy weekend… so in summary today… GW Steam Punk Dwarves… Meh GKR… would love to but can’t afford it and Fabled Realms… I am blown away by it I can see a number of influences from various gaming systems. But really love the dice mechanic, the minis look great… please can this not be kickstarted too soon i need time to save up…lol
More Daldorr coming? This is the biggest news for me so far in this Weekender.
