Almost two hours of weekender. TGIW
Blood and Plunder, looking forward to this – Happy Saturday
Is it me…..or has Justin been out in the sun…..looking a bit red there son!
Nooooo, the glare from that shiny whiteness has blinded me…….;)
Happy Weekend!
Awesome weekender
Aaaargh, it’s the Weekend!
Blood and Plunder looks better and better every time I hear about it; unfortunately I had to skip the KS first time around. I guess, with the push out to retail, that the initial factions won’t be available in the next one even as add-ons. I see there are some retail partners in place so time to go shopping!?!
Firelock have some nice “how to get started” content on their site, and starter sets as an option. I presume there’ll be videos on getting started coming this week so maybe I’ll hold fire for a week.
Been looking forward to seeing Blood and Plunder, actually. Didn’t expect to see it here.
A two-hour Weekender, a live blog on the CMON Expo, a live blog on World of Darkness: Berlin, and a live stream of Guild Ball Vengeance, all on the same day? I hope y’all didn’t have any plans for today…
Dungeon Crate KS does have scifi stuff as add ons. It’s the stuff they unlocked in the Star Saga ks so not a whole crate. Maybe next time.
Happy weekend! I’m looking forward to seeing the Viking table get built!
Seconded! A Viking table vlog would top everything 😎
Happy weekend. Played blood and plunder lots this year and I am crazy mad about pirates! When at school and I came in at home I always watch pirates of the Caribbean! Busy at work at the moment can’t wait to watch this tonight when in. Can’t wait for next month’s KS!
Happy saturday! I love yor caribbean table!
Does anyone have an idea where to get that kind of foam in germany?
I live in Wiesbaden and we have a Listmann, haven’t looked for it there but it might be worth asking them about it.
I haven’t checked at an OBI or Hornbach but they might have it. Maybe a fabric store where they sell fabric to cover foam seat cushions.
Good to see the shades of spring update! Need to get back to my project. It has been time neglected for to long. Hope I see loads more entries as we get closer, a few awesome projects so far.
Blood and Plunder, looking forward to test it, really love the ambiance
Well done to the engineers that figured out the unicast. Those miniatures look sharply detailed and fun to paint, not really my style but getting them all 1 piece at that quality is really impressive!
Going to be at UK Games Expo on the Friday, if you do the get together FRI night Wayland, myself and my friend Drew (from the U.S.) will be there. Otherwise hope to see you walking around the floor of UK Games Expo.
Viking terrain board idea. How about something that makes the water look like ice frozen over along the edges of the bay next to the land. Leave the center of the bay open with water but make it look like it’s freezing over. Maybe like a thin foamboard cut with some ragged edges and a few pieces floating separately. Heck maybe a small ice berg type piece too so its not all perfectly flat. Just some thoughts. Looking forward to the 25th Hobby Night Live. My buddy Drew will be over from the U.S. that week so we’ll definitely be… Read more »
Wayland, myself and Drew will be in Nottingham from the 29th of MAY through 1 June before UK Games Expo touring game companies and getting as much wargaming in as we can possibly manage that week. If anyone wants to link up with us just drop me a line.
WOW BoW, how doch you get these amaizig prices nearly every week. And yes this is a comment for the chance to grab the reload bunte 😉
Awesome job guys, gonna enjoy this weekender! 🙂
Happy weekend!
This game looks absolutely amazing, who doesen’t like pirates anyway?! Especially when you can command a whole bunch of them I would love to win this giveaway, thanks Beasts of War !!
Really keen for The Drowned Earth, also sorely tempted by Blood and Plunder.Now, I am off to pirate me some grub.
so much to watch so little time will have to catch up with rest of this later
