Warren and John are starting work on the city boards for the upcoming Bolt Action Boot Camp.

John and I have joined forces once again to bring you another Hobby Vlog, this time we’re tackling the soon to be Flames of War Eastern Front battle and we need a Stalingrad style table to go with our Let’s Plays.

Hello everyone. I am moving on nicely with my “Beat Charlie into the Sand” project. Come have a look at how far I have come along. 

The desert terrain is coming along in leaps and bounds. The guys have started to put the sand down on the terrain.

Hello everyone! It is time to kick off my journey to beating Charlie from Warlord Games. I am very excited to get this project rolling and I hope you enjoy this series.

The XLBS is sporting a new look, and with that comes a new approach to topics as we set ourselves the task of asking some of the deeper questions in the gaming industry. 

Today I’m painting up the magnificent Joan of Arc model from Mythic Games.

Charlie from Warlord Games has sent me through a lovely email, let’s see what he has to say…

Chris and James from Modiphius Entertainment have dropped by the studio this week to film a bunch of Fallout: Wasteland Warfare videos. Justin talks with the guys about the iconic Red Rocket gas station terrain that’s been constructed for the game, as well as […]

We’re back with a Monday update, we’ve had some excellent deliveries in this weekend…

We’ve got Cass in the studio to talk to us about bonding over board games and the social benefits of just being yourself!

After the tense 24 hours of the equipment blowing up, Warren might have fixed everything in time for the Weekender.

Today we’re taking the Privateer Press Hordes piggies in a sickly humanish direction inspired by the fantastic paintings by fantasy artist Paul Bonner.

Cass explores why board games might just be the perfect solution to date night and provides us with some great gaming options!

In our saga to maintain the perfect audio for our shows Warren reached a new level in productivity by getting up at 7am to work on our weekender set.

We’re back with a fume-filled update from the Bolt Action Desert Trench table build.

We share some quirky new ways to role-play AND ask whether or not we can banish the meta from wargaming?

This week we’ve been experimenting with some new audio advancements to the weekender show and others.

Today I’m back with some Privateer Press Hordes piggies to create some wonderfully grotesque green flesh tones for similar models in fantasy such as Ogres, Trolls, Goblins etc.

Justin and John update you on the amazing trench map they are constructing for the boot camp but we also find out what delicious food Justin won’t eat now!

Come and get to know the team in a very special version of Weekender XLBS!

We’ve begun a big terrain challenge to create a World War II desert trench system!

Today we’re tackling a variant of the traditional ork fleshtone with an Ochre/Brown Ork Fleshtone on a Piggyback Grymkin model from Privateer Press.

Today we’re having a totally serious business meeting, going over all content of the company, how we can improve the videos, layout and content we produce for you guys. It sounds pretty serious…

We chat about some weird stuff in this episode…but we also feedback about your golden moments in tabletop gaming too!

Today I’m back in the Hobby Labs again to paint a Green Ork Fleshtone on the Privateer Press nightmare enducing models from Grymkin.

Tickets are SOLD OUT for our Bolt Action: The Western Desert Boot Camp which is being run alongside Warlord Games from the 28th-30th September 2018.

We have an episode of nostalgia today but before that, we say hello to Gianna from the US Studio and get stuck into the hobby time that we’ve been doing recently.

Today I’m back in the Hobby Labs to paint a beautiful Dwarven female from the Massive Darkness range.

We’re in the process of finalising the details of the Bolt Action Boot Camp from Warlord Games, stay tuned for Monday when we’ll be announcing tickets on sale after 12pm BST.

We have reached the end of another project! And I think you will like the final result.

We’re not quite done yet! Come and check out what some of the final, final details have been.

We’re here over in the States and just before we got to visit Gen Con we stopped off with Gaz from Paranoid Miniatures to check out the local tank scene.

On the home straight now everyone! The last few step are being added!

Time to add some contrast to the Nighthaunts and see what else they may need as I move towards finishing the project.

Today Sam’s left me with the fantastic little rodent thief from Oathsworn Miniatures to advance his painting to the next level.

The basecoating is over. The thinking is (largely) over. It’s time to throw wash at this until it looks awesome!

Welcome to the second instalment of my Nighthaunt painting vlog, where I announce what way I will be painting the miniatures. 

Hello everyone. Yes! I am about to paint the Nighthaunts from Age of Sigmar Soul Wars. But I need your help first!

We’re cracking out Lloyd’s immense amount of hobby time AND discussing the accessibility of Historical Wargaming…

Romain raises from the crypts to bring us another painting tutorial…

We sit Sam down to actually get some hobby time done and take a look through your game ideas too!
