woohoo, we get to have a weekend this week – thanks chaps!
Great to see the Weekender back. Looking forward to viewing it live for a change.
I am comment to win, and you can, too!
What’s the deal with the triangle headed figure? Who approved that disaster?
Trench Crusade is appealing, but not that mini. 130 € for the box; 35 € by UPS FOR SHIPPING. UPS will then add their happy $40 fee for handling and stuff (which is complete BS).
So … it’s a hard pass for me, dawg.
Quick! Look at the calender! Double check it!
@sundancer – everything looks … wait for it … good to me!
Friday!
Good one.
Much excite! Live Weekender 🙂
I love the Astra Militarum. Always tempted. Just not rich enough…yet
Is a weekender at easter one of the signs of the apocalypse?
Has anyone seen a bunch of horseman riding around? One is a bit skinny, the next is positively skeletal, another looks unwell and the last is shouting “War… what is a good for? Absolutely everything!” (yes… i changed the last lyric)
🤞🏻 😀
Back to normality. even with the heavy amount of GW an entertaining weekender.
I’m liking the new backdrops, I can see where the spring clean challenge has been used in the riverside studios
Good to see you all back. Harper was an instant order last Friday, and he safely arrived this week ready for painting in due course.
If you’re looking for 54mm Napoleonics, there’s always Historex… (at £15 for infantry and £24 for cavalry, maybe not). Perhaps we could petition Airfix to reissue their old soft plastic Napoleonic figures.
Check out Armies in Plastic. Really high quality 54mm soft plastic miniatures. I don’t have napeoleonics, I have moderns but they’re phenomenal.
Happy Weekend All!!
It took me at least 10 minutes to realise that the headphones were gone.
Yay weekender is back in the room 🎉🎊🎉
Or Twinkies 🤔🤷
Hooray, a weekender. Welcome back
What are the yellow thing’s that look like industrial fan’s?🤔?
Sharpe’s figures look great 👍
Great show guy’s 👍
@avernos Jeffrey Combs played HP Lovecraft in Necronomicon: Book of the Dead. He’s also played Edgar Allen Poe — he’s got to be the only actor who’s played them both.
Great to see the weekender back! That trench crusade box looks great! May have to jump in!
Those Epic Warpath core army boxes are an amazing value. A complete army for under $100!
It is a logical step for Trench Crusade to go to a retail two player starter set.
Normality, as we know it, is restored
Warpath and Dreadball? Nice.
Wazdakka Gutsmek= Street Hawk or Street Ork?
For some reason you guys look like you’re standing up. 🤔
I nearly stopped watching just before the calgar tower. What joy I nearly missed
I really wanted to get involved with the spring clean challenge it would have been a great opportunity to get my old Space Crusade miniatures finished, I have 3 marine squads to give some love to. Alas I’m just starting a big renovation on the house so it’s impossible for the coming weeks, maybe with a little optimism if I get finished I might manage a late entry. 🤞🏻
i cannot wait for that trench crusade set, best bit of hobby news ive heard all year!
