Weekender: Uncovering Mythos Horrors + Win Two-Player Starter Bundles!
February 3, 2018 by brennon
It's time for us to welcome Warren back into the fold for The Weekender this week as we get stuck into plenty of awesomeness from a week in gaming.
Weekender Podcast Download
As well as the folks from Paranoid Miniatures joining us we've got a few awesome bits and bobs to show off too!
Warren Meets Mat + Bandua Ruins
The first thing we're doing is checking out the Aldan Indomitus Ruins from Bandua Wargames and showing them off on the tabletop. We've got them down on a GameMat.Eu mat, Mayhem Square, as well which certainly works alongside this terrain.
They'd make awesome terrain for you to drop into the mix for games of Warhammer 40,000+775423, especially with the release of the Adeptus Custodes now on the tabletop.

We stop in with Mark & Dom from Paranoid Miniatures to talk about the world of Mythos and what makes it so fascinating on the tabletop.
Also, make sure to check out the Let's Play we did with the guys earlier this week.
Competitions
With Mythos in mind, you have the chance to win yourself...
2x Mythos Two-Player Starter Bundles
The bundles contain two starter factions (of the winners choice) as well as two rulebooks allowing you to get going in the game with friends. So, there will be in effect four lucky winners!

Happy Saturday @emptynessisform lol 🙂
Happy Saturday boss man.
first over the the line
foul play and inquest i cry
inside tip horror
Happy Weekend!
^ And same to you @blackspiral 😀
early this weekend. not that I’m complaining
Yeah as a ‘rule’ this show used to air at 6am, somewhere along the line @dignity confused 6am with 5am (don’t ask we could make sense of it either) so now it airs at 5am lol (I suppose it now qualifies as sat morning TV for our buddies out in Dubai!)
Nah it’s late! Half the weekends already gone here in NZ!
chill on back of neck
groan or moan not sure the sound
Best not turn around
Hellboy comic does not have the Golden Army but it does have the end of the world via Mythos like beings so it has that going for it! I couldn’t be more excited for this game!
That’s HP Lovecraft Mythos not necessarily Mythos the game monsters. Huge wormlike creatures and anthrodric toads among other griblies
@Warzan lately I’ve been on a full nostalgia kick! Check this out! https://youtu.be/7g9jiRZ_ez4
Ohh God that is awesome. Lol which was your favourite? (Hard to pick just one I know lol)
Well G.I.Joe was my toy of choice and I’m old enough to remember the first miniseries debuting after school. I probably missed half of them but I was hooked! I want Mantic or River Horse to do a G.I.Joe miniature game but so far no takers LOL
I realise i’ve not so much forgotten a lot of this as blocked it out.
cursed ghost ship manned by the dead, is fact really stranger than fiction?
Insomnia and the Weekender, too tired to sleep not awake enough to not be weirded out by @warzan and his Matt.
Welcome back to the captain’s chair, @warzan ! 😀 Oh, and I like the new mikes, too! 😀
A little experiment to allow for faster studio turn around mate 🙂
@oriskany I’m pressing my emergency historical editor button in this one as well mate about planks on tanks lol
I swear I’m going to install red batphones directly between me and you 😉
Planks on tanks, are we talking about XLBS? Community Spotlight?
lol and of course your are 100% correct 🙂
See you tomorrow 🙂
Sadly, I am anything but 100% correct. I made a complimentary comment on the Community Spotlight thread and kind of got “fact-checked” a little. I must be slipping.
🙁
I blame senility.
A Haiku in tribute to Mythos;
In Darkness he sleeps
Dead Asleep Waiting Dreaming
Now the stars are right!
That one is awesome 🙂
Another great show, keep them coming.
Happy weekend
Great to see Warren back (and not just the soft porn that is the Warren meets Mat intro) the mat was great but that pre coloured terrain … wow, painting terrain isn’t my strong suit, this looks really interesting. i do like the Rogal Dorn Mini.. Yellow and gold armour perhaps, James in charge of Hellboy makes me happy and the new WWX possies are great (I love this game it just keeps growing on me) and Mythos .. I am trying hard not to take up yet another game but you gentlemen are dragging me in again (this is… Read more »
Bloody Wet Dagger
Dripping into the carpet
No corpse to be seen
Always loved Haiku as a form of poetry.
Night’s darkness awakes
Monsters of the night released
Madness soon awakes
Rogal Dorn does have golden armor in the Heresy books. So i guess they had to go with that or the fans would have jumped them.
Lovecraftian Horrors abound
I cannot unsee the shores of lost Carcossa
My Eyes! My Eyes!
It’s the Weekend!!
Not sure about Hate due to cashflow? You can always drop $1on the KS and upgrade to a full pledge in the PM in a couple of months time! (Confirmed in the FAQ).
Of course, you’re not contributing much to the total, but we all know that with a KS like this all the SGs are going to be slipped out anyway… so why not?
I think the $1 pledge is a viable tactic for many folk (let’s face it it’s not easy these days to have the money always at hand!)
They’ll probably open a late pledge option too. See last week’s discussion on pre-order style KS.
Mythos looks great! Absolutely love Lovecraftian settings. The rules seem great too, lots of depth but simple and doesn’t get in the way of actually playing the game, and those cards look like a dream!
Definately check out the let’s plays for this game it’s a very fun system underlying this 🙂
Samurai Pizza Cats was always a favourite
Really really like the wildborn faction….that centaur lady is fricking awesome
Touched by the mythos
Tainted by its tentacles
The end is coming
HAIKU TIME!
Blackest winter comes
Those dead white eyes never see
Red blood on my hands
FFS a Haiku… how many Silly Bulls is that?
Brain just melted
Horror of the paranoia
Crabs are everywhere
lol I wonder if @dignity‘s haiku will be about crabs 😉
I reckon it’ll probably feature clippers and dangly bits 😀 .
@warzan I am not sure I really want to know…lol
You mean like in the style of Baldric… Ahem…
Crabs, crabs, crabs, crabs, crabs!
Crabs, crabs, crabs, crabs, crabs, crabs, crabs;
CRABS, CRABS, CRABS, CRABS, CRABS!
