Love dreadball, great game, let´s see what season 3 introduces besides big characters and pitches….
I like seeing the new games done in shorts like this video. Kinda like wrap-up ESPN for gaming.
Always like my On the Table fix. have to agree with warren regarding some of the new 40K miniatures. They could learn something from the Wrath of Kings miniatures – they look exceptional. By the way, just how does Warren manage to change his t-shirt so quickly?
Awesome i so want to win this
That prize is just phoenominal!!!
Oh man I love Barricade! also had a little laugh at the tshirt changes. cant wait to see what season 3 opens up!
mantic just took the big gun out, that is a price which would be great even split into two!
Never been that lucky.
Nice selection of gaming paraphernalia. Like the idea of tracking your rpg on a tablet. Wonder if it could be extended to Malifaux.
Relic conversion as per Talisman for the phone/tablet?
Cool prize bra.
I would REALLY love to win Dreadball. Been wanting to get it but they don’t carry it in my local game shop. Would love to take this and show them that it is something worth stocking. Hope to see more of the Dreadball Academy featuring the new stuff coming.
I want in.
Mantic just seem to keep whacking stuff out there.
Good luck guys. Look forward to chatting to one of you! (And emailing you several Warren-proof tactics afterwards.)
Damn, that stuff looks cool!
Blimey that’s a [beep] load of Dreadball. A [beep] massive [beep] load of Dreadball!
Great episode, wrath of kings looks awesome
Sweet.
Speaking of Star Wars.. and maps.. here’s a new old-school solution on Kickstarter right now:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1165033900/capital-city-epic-sci-fi-map-pack
I’m a big fan of the Adventurers Atlas stuff and I have managed to pick up most of their maps over the last couple of years to give my Star Wars SAGA Edition players plenty of variety when we want to put miniatures on the table. The art and print quality has always been as good as the maps WotC put out – if not better – so 6 double sided maps for $60 is a pretty sweet deal.
Now that’s a prize 😀
Mmmmmm what can I magnetise on dreadball?
what a show !!!
that’s no moon
Great Show, nice new upcoming games… Can´t wait for the Doctor Who Tabletop…
DreadBall Rocks
This is an awesome prize and an awesome game!
that Dreadball is looking very nice
Amazing prize package, sounds like a great game…
Ya sure, ill take it, I guess;)
I’ve started a dreadball league at my school club, but the multi-player game looks brilliant for club play.
wow!!
overdose of dreadball!!!!
great show
Whooo, go Plague Rats Inc, my Veer-min team! They are fantastic at annoying people, and then fumbling the goal. W00T!
That’s a @#$! awesome prize guys! Like the finishing credits song as well now.
Great show….”blow up the moon”….LOL.
Nice to see Mantic getting some appreciation. 🙂
Dreadball is pretty epic. Im playing in a league currently and my Void Sirens are doing very well. Rules are so streamlined and clear. I got into it as it reminded me of the classic Speedball (loved it) but I have been very impressed with the way it plays. I have mixed feelings on Season 3 as it seems quite different in play and could be chaotic. Chaos – A good thing? Could be fun? Ive ordered the rulebook to see how it plays. The prize would be great to use at our club.
Great episode! I have to agree about the Centurions, they look like fisher price toys.
I like Dreadball…
🙂
Totally with you on the baby dreadknight issue Warren……besides that…….GO AVALANCHERS!!!!….
Dreadball just gets better and better
Well I always thought that the more complex the better when getting my game on…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oOD9U9VQ5Y
Til I started using a started using my tablet for warmahordes and pathfinder.
Now time is spent better in tactics and strategy.
Dreadball is the best buy I made so far in 2013. A brilliant game.
Loving the beeps! More beeps!
I’m not so sure about talking to James i reckon who ever wins this is going to be speechless.
Shouty James is the best James*
* that’s not why I filled in that result sheet all wrong at the open day
must…deny… the shiny syndrome!
HAHAHAHAHAHA that’ll never happen
I bet Justin worked overtime getting all the bleeps in this time, fantastic show
Thanks for being so outspoken about the recent 40k developments.
And dat prize…
Blood Bowl is still one of my favorite games. I’d really like to try DreadBall, it looks awesome!
I might need a bigger apartment if I won all that
Would really like to get into Dreadball. Can’t find it on the shelves at all here in Toronto.
Love Dreadball. Just managed to finish 4th (out of 14) in my first Tournement which was a pleasant surprise.
I’ve ordered season 3 already but that prize looks nice. Keep up the great work guys.
Great episode I have really been thinking of getting into saga. Loving dreadball even though my fiancé seems to be and absolute beast at the game and thrashes me every time
Good to see Saga make it to on the table
That’s an amazing prize!
Great job on this series!
I love on the table and you seem to cram so much into such short videos. Keep up the good work. I also just received my final box from the mantic kings of war kickstarter and am absolutely blown away.
Wrath of Kings looks awesome. I’m backing it on Kickstarter and hope a bunch more people do as well. I love the miniatures for it.
Great video as usual =)
Ok yeah, it is official, with so many awesome games out and coming out i have a long christmas list this year.
Definitely need some more loaner/demo Dreadball teams for the local heathens.
Dreadball is the best fantasy table top sports game out there I want it!!!!
Love your giveaways, also love the links for additional content. I caught the painting demo, but missed the dreadball demo. Keep up the great work.
This game looks fun, especially when your a Fantasy Football fan and and a Rpg/War Gamer. Can’t wait to see this stuff on a board.
I noticed you’ve never talked about “Tephra: the Steampunk RPG” from Cracked Monocle (crackedmonocle.com). It is really a game you should consider looking into and reviewing.
Love the segments on this site. Learned about a ton of good games. So want Dreadball and this would be an awesome start to getting into it!
Saga is going to be my next buy! Warren fantastic on GW 🙂
That looks truly as the best prize so far.
This would be awesome to win.
quite curious about dreadball, been wanting to try it out, hope i win.
Boom
That is quite an epic prize.
dreadball is amazing, backed the kickstarter, but hey wont say no to more.
but Mr Warren sir, no need for the language, tut, tut
Now that GW has been taken over by accountants, I think its about time we got a
Space Marine Accountant for our gaming tables. “SPACE MARINES ACCOUNTANT BRING ECONOMICS TO YOUR GAMING TABLE.”
I loved the dreadball academy vids that you guys did and would love to win a copy!
Love to try Dreadball. Does it have Lawmasters?
scene to soon be repeated at a gaming table near you:
you turn up to a game of 40k with your mate and piss yourself laughing because he actually bought the centurions, then he smiles and beats the crap out of you cos there rules are just so damn op.
i figured out a while ago that there are 2 ways to play 40k, good or bad the centurions just prove this hey
Great vid and an even better prize!!!
I got try this game some time.
A Lot of stuff in the prize!
Love to win this
Holy crap that prize is massive! I can’t wait to get dreadballin’ with it.
Just the prize I need to flesh out my dreadball collection
Grats Titus Tsimonjela on an awesome prize. 🙂
The Dreadball Kickstarter was some of the best fun you could have with your clothes on. The game itself is fantastic and the range of teams and MVP’s is fabulous. Every game has comedy moments when something unexpected happens – it is a great mix of tension and laughter all at the same time.
BTW, Dreadball Academy is wonderful – we want MORE!
OMFG what a epic prize 😀
BTW can’t wait to receive my Wrath of King minis 😉
Ahh DreadBall. I need some of those Ultimate Giants!
wish I could get into dreadball, but I have a hard time getting someone to play against.
I’d love to start dreadball, but I am now a poor tax dodging student, I wonder how I stand with my chances lol
I want to win and massage warrens feet
,
Good Show – DREADBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
This looks awesome, I have to say I’m not a fan of mantic plastics. I find them a real pain to clean up but the short term pain is made up for with the fact they look great.
Another great episode…centurians…my god those look aweful.
this is the best prize ever, i love the show, its my number one place to come to find out the latest hobby news
Another fine show! just love it
Interesting, this would fullfill my plan to get everyone at my gaming club into Dreadball!
This is a great prize to give out. Who ever wins please paint and post images of the teams painted.
Dreadball is awesome! I was really bummed I wasn’t able to get in on the kickstarter.
Love dreadball. There are some other fantastic games in this episode also.
6 way DreadBall mash up Yeah!!!
I’d love to be able to get in to dreadball ^_^
WoK looks to be a wonderful looking game.
Dreadball is a fantastic game. I’m enjoying playing it and the prize would be very useful for me and some potential new players.
Love the rancor!
Looks like an awesome game, fingers crossed 🙂
I’m guessing that, given the number of bleeps, Warren’s ‘forgotten’ to take his medication again!
Saga looks good, but i loved the idea of star bowl!
Been really busy since Nam week and not been on BoW. Good to come back to a great new season of On The Table. I gotta go back and watch the first 2 episodes.
Well produced episode and am excited to buy the Pandemic expansion. Glad to see BoW have heard of Saga too. Would love to see some more coverage on that.
Nice range covered, Great to see more dreadball – I must admit I was seriously ipressed with the game, picked it up as a have a look without high hopes but found it to be a fantastic games. This would be a great addition to my collection.
Wrath of kings looks cool, but not sold on what I can make out of the rules. Plus with Mars attacks looming and Dead zone aftermath cannot afford to invest.
One of the best prizes yet.
DREADBALL!!!!
wow what an episode…outstanding job guys
Wow, they all look great, And dreadball would be a lovely way to introduce the local club
Dreadball is a great game fun, and fast paced. Can’t wait for season 3 and what is to come in the future of this game.
Must have some of those miniatures for Wrath of Kings..
Would love to win this prize to play with my brother and friends, looks feaking awesome!
nice show, as always
For some reason, my 10 month old son seems to find Warren hilarious, he was just staring and laughing at the screen whenever he was on.
Hmm, really wasn’t that sold on the ‘Ultimate’ variant during the KS (wanted Extreme instead!) but now that I see the board I am intrigued. Great episode as ever guys – I’m always impressed by the level of polish on this show.
Games for the games club, games for the games club, games for the games club, games for the games club, games for the games club, games for the games club… you get the gist…
A *BEEP* load of DreadBall. Sweet. Star Ball???? How on Earth does that past copy right rules? Wrath of King, I wish I had the money as I would love to the Death Bloom figure and the Elena Zombicide figure too.
not played dreadball yet .can’t wait to try …
wow that board is just awsome for dreadball
Love dreadball. The virtual table seems interresting too.
I dont think a prize giveaway can get more awesome than this!
This is a very cool prize. I’m due a lucky day one time right? 🙂
Justin, could you give different sounds for the different “bleep words”.
We might here a future top ten melody.
Thats a huge prize package…the DnD minis look awesome too!
Thank you for expressing your views on the new GW offerings. All I can say is, I agree completely. Thankfully, there are plenty of companies out there that actually care to put out a product that doesn’t make me cringe to look at it.
On a related note: Mantic, if you’re reading this, please ramp up releases for Warpath. We need decent looking minis NOW!
7TV is a great game & I met the Crooked Dice people at Salute (where I played a demo game with my son & have been hooked ever since!)… Huge fun!
I’ve not tried Dreadball, but it looks amazing – would it increase my chances of winning the prize if I said I don’t have the money to start a new game (violins playing in the background…)…?
What a jam packed episode! Fantastic format and you guys keep getting more professional by the week. And I’m not just flattering to increase my winner chances. 🙂 Seriously, it looks amazing. One example is the short preview of the painting workshop on the D&D worm. That finally tipped my decision to become a Backstage member. Consider me in. I also want to find out more about the games featured in the video just from watching the short introductions.
The nameless, R’yleh approved
There is so much going on I don’t know where to direct my attention anymore.
The Dreadball expansion looks interesting, although I’m curious to see how that multiplayer aspect will work exactly. Won’t 2 teams gang up on a third more often than not?
And the D&D projects I’ll have to pass on to my advetnturing party.
As a fan of Bloodbowl I can see great potential for Dreadball. Off to watch all the play guide videos now.
I love Star Wars minis. I missed this campaign, though. I have serious doubts it will reach production.
The show is really good and the guys should keep going with it. Two thumbs up!
Wrath of Kings is looking good.
What a massive prize!!
I need to try out dread ball it seems
There is nothing I would like more than to be playing Dreadball on BOW. I have really enjoyed the first videos on this.
Dreadball’s a great game for running campaigns / tournaments and i can see it only getting bigger.
I’m really curious about the Star Wars football minis. Does anyone know if they are coming with rules or is this a model line only?
great looking stuff!! I would love to play some Dreadball
That’s a lot of stuff in that prize give away! wow
We saw a Wrath of Kings demo game at DragonCon (Atlanta, Georgia) and it looks to be a great game. Definitely motivated us to back the kickstarter! Nevertheless, my husband is all about Dreadball!
I really want to try out Dreadball!
I love Blood Bowl and would love to see how Dread Ball lives up to the hype on this show. Let me win now!
First : I will totally love to get my hands on all that Dreadball Goodness , it will be what i need in order get serious weekly tournaments around here. And i have to ask one thing to James :
Does white dice are balanced so that every time i tried to score with a Goblin Jack i always fail ? BECAUSE I’M GONNA [BLIP]ING THROW THOSE IN THE DUMPSTER! ( not the goblins… -.- ). Also need to know how to clean the ball, last time we played on G+ Andy 2d6 and Jed it was all greasy :(.
Second : Talking about Space Marines , i really want to know who did bought the 1100 Astartes Ultra “Deal”… Really, does anyone seriously think to put that kind of money even if they had it ? And unless you are gonna buy it with a lot of friends, you will need this power in order to have enough time to finish painting it before you die :

The Dread Ball prize would help start a league here, I know 4 guys that have it and 3 more wanting to jump in.
DreabBall is picking up here, That would help start my league 🙂
I love dreadball!!
I would love to start dreadball, maybe this is my chance.
Dreadball really is a great game and I need to find time to play more of it. As for Star Wars Football, well let’s see how long they last before the mighty decide to drop on them (so good so far). Finally Justin must have loved Warren in this episode how many bleeps!
Can’t believe that star ball thing hasn’t been sued yet.
I just played Relic this week and had a blast! They really managed to get the 40K vibe going!
Oh, I want some more Dreadball.
WOOOTTT let me win those prizes 🙂 as usual BoW roxxx 🙂
Been playing this over the summer with a couple of mates… such a good, easy, fun game. Just got a Judwan team but a couple of my friends have not had the cash to pick a team up I would share the teams out.
Really can’t recommend this cracking game enough,although the 4 way pitch intrigues me greatly. Would love to win this copy.
Now this is what i’m talking about. Me and my bro have been wanting to start up some dreadball but we don’t have the funds right now. But weather it is now or later we love this game.
Yet another awesome episode guys.
And a massive awesome prize (again)!
That is quite a prize. It seems to have pulled in a ton of interest as well.
Great prize
Love Dreadball. Really looking forward to how the GIANTS play in Ultimate. Wonderful Dreadball coverage by BeastsofWar, great game reports, tactics etc. Cheers
I need dreadball …. it looks delecious!
This prize pack is awesome!
Dreadball looks interesting if I only had the money to spend on something I will might play only once.
You guys have an awesome show. Such a great price. I really hope I win!
would love to win me some dreadball
That is one awesome prize. Dreadball is really starting to pick up in popularity from what I can tell, and if they keep releasing new stuff of this quality to keep people interested as well then I’m sure it will grow and grow
Loving on the table as much as ever, great short sharp delivery, always makes you want to follow the plethora of links that are set below the video.
Awesome prize – would love to win!!!
I really love ON THE TABLE!. It discovers me many interestings games. One of them was Dreadbal!!
everyone loves dreadball
If nothing else this Prize has made me decide to find out everything I can about the game because it reminds me of Blood Bowl and I want to know if this is an evolution of that game.
cool whit all this dreadball stuff I can put up a legue whit all my friend ^__^
very good, hoping to win…..
Would love to win this set
This On the Table should have been called Warren BLEEPED. Funny how you just kept on going with the profanity all the way through.
On the prospect of winning Dreadball, yes please! I love the game and would be pleased as punch to have a chat with James M. Hewitt.
That is a lot for a prize. Enough to field several teams, one for all my friends to pick from. I definitely like the 3 to 6 player expansion. The idea that you can do a miniature game with 3 or more people and everyone fights against everyone else is awesome!
Would love to win, loved blood bowl and looking for a good new game. Keep up the great work love the videos.
If I win dreadball I’ll start playing foorball myself ;p
looks amazing! what a prize!
Great looking game.
that board is awesome! Six players sounds fun (and confusing!). Good for a garage beer-fest!
I’m really wishing I’d done the kickstarter for Dreadball right now. Of course, having the talent to paint and assemble the miniatures would be nice too.
Season 3 is what sold me on Dreadball, it goes beyond what has been done officially by a sports miniature board game. Massive monsters & Multiple-player Mayhem for tournament finals and special grudge fixtures, how better to decide a league than have the top 6 teams battle it out in one arena!
Fantastic concept!
Hahahahaha, love the CPO star wars foot ball art
