TURN 8: YouTube Update & Mantic’s Sci-Fi Game WARPATH!
June 4, 2011 by beerogre
OK guys, TURN 8 is on tonight and we have a very special guest!
Tonight we have Ronnie Renton... owner... operator... and driving force behind Mantic Games.
He'll be appearing, to give us some extra special news about Kings of War... and you never know... he might have some extra news for us about other projects that Mantic may be embarking on very shortly.
But that's not all. There may also be a cameo appearance from the 40K-Meister himself... Alessio Calvatore!!!
So join us at 10:00pm British Summer Time for some TURN 8 fun and laughs.
Don't forget your beer and don't forget if you want to speak to us during the show, you can tweet @beastsofwar to ask questions or just send comments.
We'll be having a discussion about the new GW Finecast, so bring your pitchforks!
We'll also have news about YouTube, so you can speculate if you like... you'll get your answers tonight...

Be sure to heat test the resin!!! It melts in the sunlight!!!
Oh hell yeah this i wont miss
Can we bring torches, or are we limited to pitch forks?
Well, for youtube, I’ve rethought my cheese quota theory – although Darrell has been suspiciously quiet recently, and I now have a new theory.
Fifa.
They want Turn 8 to be held in Qatar.
Will those of us down south be able to catch a rerun viewing at a more normal hour tomorrow?
There will be a recording for those not able to catch us live…
But if you don’t catch us live, you miss the competition. 😉
Then you’ll have to make a southern hemisphere friendly show as well 😉
FIRST!!!…oh wait, dang it
Excellent news, looking forward to it. Beer mayhem at 22:00 hrs Poor Ronnie…or is it poor BoW 😉
Dagnnabit will prolly miss the show!! (weeps bitter tears of regret)
Will do my best to join the fun and frolics. Nothing better than a good old fashioned angry mob.
@sirangry
In that case Finecast won’t stand a chance under the studio lights.
Even Darrell’s cheese withstands the heat better than that! lol
Just finished of a commissar, and to aid the process I blasted it with the “better halfs” hair drier… not good, only a short spell as I normally would dry out any old plastic and his sword looked like a wet noodle.. Thankfully, it re-sets almost as quick as it melts!
At the risk of being accused of spamming my Gandalf melted in the sunlight today in my loft room. Photo’s here:
http://thefrontlinegamer.blogspot.com/2011/06/dont-leave-finecast-in-sun.html#comments
The room does get very warm and it was in direct sunlight… but even so. Not sure its fit for purpose.
Wow, that’s bad – as an experiment I left a spare cast of my own up-and-coming companies models out in the sunlight to see if the same will happen or if it’s made of sterner stuff than GW’s – at the very least it’s a good thing to know before.
At least melted resin models will improve GW’s chaos line though…hell, you could put a few together in the sunlight and come back with something resembling Carpenters The Thing!! That would be a MASSIVE improvement if you ask me !
Well I will be there and you can let GW know, that the majority of Gamers out here support game makers that support Beasts of War…
How do you like me now and lets rock 🙂

VIVA LA CRUSH BOOBTUBE !!!!

Top clip. And quiet good timing as I have South of Heaven on right now in the background (well, as ‘in the background’ as it can be….). Spooky………
What time is British summer time and how does it revert to eastern standard time zone…
I mean its cool the competition and all but what about the over one thousand video’s we had put out by beasts of war. I feel that those videos did more for bringing new people into the hobby. Than anything else put out for war gamers in recent. Despite the ignorant dillweed move of GW and there ever rising price hikes for the same product.
This is a big deal for the hobby I believe if the crew don’t have a back up log you tube better come off film so it can be used else where…
Right on, @torgaming that post is worthy of a purity seal in my opinion 🙂 lol
@dawnpatrolchapter I believe it would be around 5pm for you guys. British Summer Time is GMT +1 and EST is GMT -4 IIRC.
I need to keep something by the toilet when I run low on ass wipe
Will John be back tonight? Listening to him rant was the best bit of the last show!
I’m guessing the youtube thing had to do with the advertising you started doing just before they shut you down, its about the only logical thing I can think of as to why
John just wouldnt shut up would he?!! Must be an MP as he managed to be in two places at once…the first step in claiming bogus expenses…ohhh politics, next ill have a pop at GW
Can we have slayer music for the intro. They rock my world, not quite as much as the guy in the vidoe though.
Great clip @dawnpatrolchapter
I would really love to join you guys but I have no idea where to go?!
GREAT! Can’t wait. Common Ronnie! What have you got for us?!?!
I hope the “special guest” is more talkative than John was last time lol
@caladors
http://www.justin.tv/
sign up and also sign up with twiitter if you don’t have an account already
hth
@chibi thanks man I was looking trust me I was and I couldn’t find didly. hopefully my camera will work… great for movies and stuff but connecting to the internet it just says no.
But ethier way thank you very much for the info.
Your special guest is Ronnie from Mantic, done. Haha, read this on the Mantic site, hopefully gonna talk about Sci-fi Mantic!
I hope you guys have a way to re upload your old videos to the site , i really wanted to see many things about warmahorde that you had.
+1!! yes please, I need those good ol’ paint tutorials and such to refer too!
yes.. id like to know how to work out the time for west australia 😛
in a totally unhelpful manner…its in about 5 hrs time
Trebor What would happen if you posted that reply like 3 hours ago and somebody who is lightly tossed like myself came upon it now . and thought ” oh cool man 5 hours from now “- MMMMMMM !!!
Wonder if we can use UTC time for next one ???
Seriously I hope the BoW team, Also continue the theme from last turn 8 in reference to supporting other games. In hopes of making the hobby more rounded…
well that is what makes it so unhelpful….its almost 4 hours to go now…but Bow is always late so lets stick with 5 hrs 😉
I agree the pie share is out of normal bounds…..lets grow the pie and let the lesser guys get a share of the gravy…mmmm, might have eaten to much pie today.
hmmmmmmmmm, pie………………………
No Bob.
Damn it all, I want something nice!!! 😉
+++++++++*Blurb from mantic page lol++++++++++++++++++
Turn 8 starts at 8 o’clock on Thursday 2nd June and we advise that some episodes may require Parental Guidance – though we can’t imagine Ronnie getting involved in anything unscrupulous…
Well @delux so much for nice- LOL
Awesome, can’t wait to watch and get involved.
DEAR BOW TEAM IN ORDER TO STOP CONFUSION CONCERNING EXACTLY WHAT TIME THE SHOW MAY OR MAY NOT START…
HERE IS A LINK TO WHERE YOU CAN POST DIFFERENT TIME ZONE CLOCKS TO YOUR TURN 8 PAGE (RIGHT NEXT TO THE PG-13 TAG…
http://www.fileguru.com/apps/display_different_time_zone_clock/p3
you mean the world is still working on non gmt times??
checking my windoze clock it looks like gmt is 5 hours ahead of eastern time USA so @bigbri was on the money re timing
thats awesome trebor
Ya he nailed it…
maybe- lets not make it to easy for everyone, knowing my luck I would get bumped from too much server traffic.
“The clock idea bad one please ignore” 🙂
Nice definitely will not miss it, will be too interesting to miss.
Is it going to be on Justin.tv? If so, what the name of the channel?
For all the time inquiries, if you log onto justin.tv and ‘follow’ the beats of war channel, it emails you when the feed goes live (usually plenty of time before the show actually starts) automatically, so you wont miss it.
http://www.justin.tv/beastsofwar – simple guys 🙂
Already logged onto the channel and sitting there waiting lol, so if anyone wants to come and have a chat 🙂
OK its a wash for me I am in the throws of wife agro. my youngest is playing his last game at same time. Tried to weasel out of it. no dice !!!
Somebody share with ronnie my mantic orc video ad for me…
Ok screen is black
Words appear-
FANATIC- noun: a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal
then the screen turns from black to a stellar view of a green field- you hear birds chirping its freaking beautiful man.
and then you see the mantic orc’s head popping into view from top of screen.
The Orc grunts then takes a model of a orc on a round base that has a golf tee glued to it and places it in the ground.
the birds go silent
BAM !
A golf club smacks the orc model into outer space then you hear metal music in the background.
Screen goes black and the words appear saying
MANTIC GAMES- THE WAY WAR GAMES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED
Pass this on to ronnie for me maybe he will do it up for us 🙂
I will catch the rerun
love your stuff ronnie!
KOW is great, dwarf kings hold amazing, top notch all the way around!
keep it up – can’t wait for whats next!
blisters – definitely a good decision. that lets me customize my army with even more dwarf berzerker lords
Thanks for the show guys.
Good show guys. Keep it up!
No Andy, I didn’t say see you naked ” I said I wanted you to know I was watching the show Naked” 🙂
I think we all watch the show naked, its one of the rules right?
Picking up Dwarf Kings Hold now this weekend – can’t not after this Turn 8 lol.
At last can get back on the site to say thanks to all at BoW!
Loved the show, great stuff as usual with some interesting news about KoW and DKH
oh and some tidbit about FISH in SPAAAACE!!
I think fast attack craft will get Turbot boost lol
Thanks to the guys on chat for some grand banter before and during the show.
Many were the laughs. 😀
You know that mantic is off the hook…
Told ya to get DKH
Although I am sad wanted to get the meaty beaty big and bouncy on the youtube conspiracy
and it was a little less eventful than what I was hoping for. However did enjoy raking GW over the coals as we know they can certainly afford it.
Part of me wants to have a smoke and the other part wants to take a shower and feels dirty…
I bought Morgoth as soon as I saw him in a Fantasy Shop x) Now use him as Haemonculus, looks better and is cheaper 😛
First off, Warren that was a great play on Obama and the fuss over his birth records. Also that was sick if Darrell really did drink from a used pee cup.
AWESOME SHOW…. you guys rock!!!
Amazing show! Love watching you guys, and RONNIE!
I will tell you guys this, i am now sitting in a pool of my own urine. Warpath has me very excited. Each bit of news and leaks you guys were able to squeeze out of Ronnie at those last few minutes were all completely good news. I will definitely be jumping into this game head first. And i very much look forward to Warpath week.
If you’ll excuse me though, i’m going to go convince my wife why i absolutely need to spend $6 a month for a backstage subscription…
Guys! You should check out my blog where I wrote down my Failcast adventures in the local GW. You can find the related posts here:

I loved the show 😀
Thanks for the show guys, I enjoyed it. Just joined backstage to help you guys out and so I can leave long windy comments for even more people to suffer 🙂
I’m excited about Warpath & will start saving accordingly. Now I have lots of 40k stuff to sell 🙂
Good Times dead ahead for BoW.com…
A radio gig as well sweet 🙂
can i get a link to the new youtube channel?
Not too sure about Mantic going into sci-fi…. You can’t reel out generic models in sci-fi the way you can with fantasy. If you’re gonna do a sci-fi, it’s gonna have to be a full on game, not some quickly-put together game like Kings of War (which is great as an intro-game to the hobby, the way Battle Masters was). Their models are gonna have to be far better than their fantasy model ranges. This is very risky.
Look forward to it guys, I find it’s great to have on in the backround when I’m relaxing and sculpting minis – really gets me in the mood and I like that they are getting seemingly longer in length too!
Well will Warpath week be ?
*when
was paiting my elves whilst watchin this lol
great work guys really love turn 8
Just wanted to add a note of warning
Fist beating gremlins is NOT a socialbly acceptable pastime.
Furthermore, only professionally qualified and certified persons may attempt to perform such an act.
Warren I hope you have such a certificate or there will be severe and damning reverberations on Dakka dakka.
well unfortunately due to our tight budget, i wont be able to get a subscription to backstage monthly, i will however be able to get a few select months in.
So when mantic releases the beta rules for warpath, ill pay the very reasonable $6 for backstage, break out my space marines and tau armies for proxies, and go to town with my brother. im excited about playtesting and giving mantic feedback
I think it is time to get a KoW discussion group going in the respective area. With Mantic spreading as quickly as wildfire there should at least be a place to talk about it.

Check the sidebar on any KoW content and it’s in there 🙂
haha, 5 of my comments did infact get said on the show, I feel accomplished with myself this week!
