Great vid, studio looks fantastic, you have definitely made good use of the fact you have limited space. Its good to see you getting enthusiastic about 40k again, it does still have its fans! Looks like you are going to have to do a worldeaters army now, although they are lacking abit in the synergy department considering everything just runs forward and gleefully hacks everything to death.
I’m still probably going to go Black Legion – but I don’t see why a world eater couldn’t be attached in a fluffy way 🙂 (until someone explains to me I can’t anyway!)
A Black Legion army can have an allied CSM detachment. Someone who understands the 40K rules can explain/correct this but I believe it requires that at least an HQ and Troop choice from the allied detachment be taken.
Yes and thus you may have 4 flying chickens in a 1999pts game.
Could just paint him up as Black Legion, over ten thousand years i don’t doubt various black legionnaires have turned to one of the four chaos gods.
Now that’s how to do a Weekender.
Who needs tie mics..? lol
Awesome stuff.
Skype Conferencing full screen and quality .. hmm how about Xbox One with Skype which gives you the hdmi out full screen metro Skpe with audio out as you need it.
I love the intro to the VLOG video… I wonder why…
Great episode guys, I remember that room… looks so different when moved around though.
The scale for WWX (as I have received my models now YAY) is amazing the detail on the faces (most of all the female ones) is really enhanced by the scale.
Either the Studio doubles as the residence of @dracs (its dark secret..?) or he is immensely faster on his feet than he looks to have snuck in right under your noses 😉
I’m living rent free in the Flames of War terrain
Heroic proportions were indeed introduced for production reasons, back when lead was used and it was not as firm as today’s metals, also mold making was not as advanced as it is today, also, a justification given for its continuous usage is that it makes features visible from a meter away, fear of things breaking is not something I would worry by today’s manufacturing standards. Personally I prefer true proportion models, heroic proportions don’t look good anymore they also need really good sculptors these days to not look cartoony. Out of scale buildings on the other hand is almost a… Read more »
Really enjoyed the feel of the show guys, I’d happily watch it in that kind of format again.
Malifaux is 32mm and WWX is 35mm so using the same scenery shouldn’t be a problem.
When you said you were terrain guys you weren’t [beep-sorry-Justin] about! Blimey
Regarding uploading big volumes of information to Amazon ; they have a Disk Shipping feature where you courier them a Hard Disk and they import onsite with them.
great studio guys! I really like the different sets.
You should consider something like a Chaos Space Marine army that’s made a pact with a Daemonic Army.

Also remember that later this year the rumours are that Games Workshop are switching out/adding in a new ‘Starter Set’ that contains Blood Angels Vs Orks as the main armies. No idea what the truth is to that, but might factor into your decisions.
that was a great show lads, love the format, more like that please!
cheers

If you want to get *serious* about storage, check out http://blog.backblaze.com/category/storage-pod/ 🙂
Really enjoyed that “weekender”. It was less formal than the other ones, more relaxed looking forward to a few more like that.
I like the way you are going through the archives of videos. The most interesting ones for me are the painting and hobby tips. They never date like for example nid week, however you could always have a nostalgia section I guess.
I’d love to see the painting of the Ironclad war-jack again. 🙂 Just throwing it out there

Already Up, you can find it under ‘Armour’ in the Backstage Drop Down Menu
Cool, thanks
For painting the buildings, can I suggest the model mates sprays and shades, they’re really great for that stuff,
I believe it was Reaper Miniatures that introduced the term “Heroic 28mm” with their Dark Heaven line in the 1990s.
METAL HEAD WARREN!!!! lol Cheers from a metal head across the pond!
Great video thanks guys!
I don’t know why I can’t watch it, it says “no video with supported and MIME type found.” Can anyone help a brother out?
Sorry @lotan2012 we were testing an HTML 5 player. We’ve put it back to the original way until we find a smoother fix.
Awesome, thanks guys!
urrggghhh I seem not to be able to play this. Is the link a gonna?
Sorry @mattvsobow we were testing an HTML 5 player. We’ve put it back to the original way until we find a smoother fix.
I’m getting the same message as lotan2012…………what is wrong guys????
It played fine on google chrome; try that instead – unless you’re using it already. lol 😀
Sorry @phalanx58 we were testing an HTML 5 player. We’ve put it back to the original way until we find a smoother fix.
I think everyone watching this wants that much hobby space!
Great vid, this is why I support Backstage. Interesting look behind the scene and a nice chat.
That winter table looks great. We need to see a Dropzone game on that.
That was cool look around the studio. 🙂
@warzan Don’t forget that Rick Priestley’s Beyond the Gates of Antares is using the Bolt Action rules as the basis of it’s system. 😉
Surely Sam knew what a terabyte is, he’s not that younger than me, lol! Or has he been living in a Hobbit hole? 😀
I am 23 and I quite honestly did not know what a terabyte is. I am well known for being rather bad with computers. You should watch Justin’s face when he tried to explain the video editing process to me.
I’m 38 and believe that terabytes are a team in DreadBall….
Why don’t you guys do a Kickstarter campaign to raise some funds for equipment and operations? The pay back to supporters would be not just be better stuff going forward but perhaps some backer exclusive videos. Maybe some of your advertisers could kick in some goodies as well? Maybe some big pledge levels could include visits to the studio or dinner with some notables (Alessio, Perry’s, etc)? Considering Kickstarter was original conceived to help artists I’d say you guys fit the classic mold.
