Have you been following their project and has it set you on the path to 'Get Good'?
Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower
News also came out this week about Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower which sees you playing as the heroes from the Age of Sigmar world fighting through an ever-changing labyrinth.
You get some great looking heroes, fantastic monsters, a wealth of adventures to go on and more besides. Could this be the new gateway into Age of Sigmar?

One Kickstarter this week as we look at the Plague Inc. Board Game which has you playing as deadly diseases and infections trying to eradicate humanity.
It sounds grim but it's pretty fun and we think you'll like this one!

Happy weekend all!
Happy Weekend!
Happy weekend
Jammie damce mate…lol
The danger of watching in the morning while half asleep it did not dawn on me until @oriskany congratulate me on it ….
Happy Weekend! 🙂
Fascinating location for Justin and Ben’s big Euro trip. Hope John L has been doing his WW2 briefing on the significance of BRno twinned with ENfield. Enjoy the games, sights and the BBQ pork party.
Love those face-huggers!
You misspelled ‘arse’ in the video title.
WOOOHOOOOO I WON!!!
Can I justify another dungeon crawler…?
Warhammer Quest does look good, and those 50 quid starter sets for AOS have me intrigued. So many different games on the go that a starter set might be alll i would ever use, and play once in a while…. arrrggghhh but can I afford it. GW might be going back to like when I was a kid! Who would have thought it.
Must be tired, I read orc shaman, as an orc sherman.
Your next conversion, born in the comments section 😉
Happy Weekend!!!
How about that Dark SoulsTM?
Justin if you ever come to Malaysia i promises i will not force feed you Durian ..
So many great boardgames coming out at the moment. I had no interest in Dark Souls as I’m not familiar with the IP but now you really have my interest piqued. 🙂
And I’m in. So that’s Blood and Plunder and Dark Souls backed this month. My poor wallet!
Prodosser’s where’s the rest of my stuff?
Dark souls + Warhammer Quest Silver Tower + This War of Mine + Massive Darkness = DIVORCE 🙁
And I forgot Labyrinth ….oh dear!
I feel your pain and know the tightrope walk you go on when you buy a game.
New AvP stuff looks cool! So who do I need to bribe to win?
I have to say that the Silver tower is really quiet cool, the models are beyond fabulous
I have done a few videos on it if your interested in my thoughts at all hopefully will have some pictures up soon.
Can’t comment on the game as of yet, that is not what I have been working on.

Happy weekend
Happy weekend
Those Warhammer Quest minis do look really nice, I’ll be great to see an unboxing of this when it’s finally released.
It’s the weekend!! Some more Malifaux models to make up and prime, plus a game of infinity to prepare for by Monday.
Looking forward to Dark Souls. I have mixed experiences with other Dungeon Crawler games and KS campaigns with loads of minis, but:
– these guys delivered their first KS with good quality in a very acceptable timeframe that gives me confidence. They seem to have the IP issues in hand and know how and who they’re going to get the manufacturing done.
– I don’t want the overhead of a campaign, I want to be able to sit down with a different group of players each time and play a range of character types without the housekeeping issues, the missing player issue or the “I got bored with my character 3 weeks ago” issue. If the community develops a way of doing this then fine.
10 Jammie Dancers!
In frostgrave, captains don’t replace the wizard. They replace one soldier
Happy Saturday and Congrats to all the winners!
Warhammer Quest looks awesome and with 50 minis I think is pretty good value. I’m so excited to see were they take it. I hope they have releases like before and bring out a bunch of new characters and expansions.
So much cool stuff. I need to win a lottery soon
Well damn. Just pre-ordered the Silver Tower. Guess now i just wait and see how it stacks up against my near 20-year old copy of the original….
I’ve just watched the excellent interview with Matt Hart re: Dark Souls, with about £130 of mine placed in their kickstarter. As much as it represents INCREDIBLE value for money vis a vis miniatures. What has turned me off fast is that there isn’t a linked campaign mode. So each play through you reset over and over.
I’m sure this is part of a much larger conversation but I’m really considering withdrawing my bid because I think what I like and am looking for in a game would be unfair to expect from the DS boardgame. Perhaps, Kingdom Death is a better fit? Regardless, I wish them every success.
Does anyone else feel differently or more reassured after watching the interview?
@lloyd RE: flamestrike Is it okay to make jokes about everyone being up to their elbows in @warzan ‘s back end now he’s married?
Wow! What a great surprise to wake up this morning, sit down at the computer, and find that I’ve won a prize on BoW!! Thanks so much!!
The mist Weaver is female according to the white dwarf but your comment about it being iffy is indicative of gw as a whole in regards to female models. The only ranges with a decent amount of Females are dark elves/dark eldar I truly think they are scared of female models… just look at their complete inability to release new sisters. Which is wierd as female models sell just as well probably better if wyrd privateer press and kingdom death are any indication. And they make some beautiful female minis when they actually try just look at the latest Lilith or de succubus
so much hype for the Darksouls boardgame, and OMG yes core jammy dance
Great Weekender. Can’t wait for the Dark Souls game. It sounds really good. And yeah we need more of ‘Singing Justin’ and ‘Dancing Lloyd’.
Haaa nice stuf GW i will get Warhammer quest for sure and go back in that game will be a blast, and from prodos i just want to say thanks for the contestyoure mini looks amayzing and the AVP game is relly hot
Reviews from the non-cheerleader section of the gallery, with promo copies in hand, have been suggesting that fans of the original WHQ hold off on preordering, to avoid being desperately disappointed with what they get – apparently the rules, and the RPG-like qualities of campaigns and character advancement have been given as much thought and attention as the 4 page AoS pamphlet.
Operation Flamestrike has been pretty interesting. It will be cool to hear the compounded results.
Happy weekend!
Spider Grots 😀 @dignity made my day lol
Really excited for Dark Souls
LOL you can’t even beat the asylum demon.
The new Prodos mini’s look great.
The Dark Souls boardgame looks so much better than I would have thought. Well done, guys.
The Predator Youngbloods look wicked! 😀
Happy weekend! Thanks for giving us the chance to win!
Love the facehuggers.
I have heard good things about the classic Hero Quest game, and those new minis look fabulous. If the gameplay for the new version matches the minis, then I may have to pick up this game.
But I will wait for an objective review, as others have stated.
GW probably justifies no female characters by making 1 black character. -_-
The alien and predator figures are awesome
You guys get way too excited over the prospect of annihilating the human population.
I’m still on the fence regarding Dark Souls. Yes, it is very good value for money with everything that’s unlocked, but how much gameplay will I actually get out of it? This is a question both about getting friends around to play a game as well as wondering how quickly the game will get repetitive.
Can’t wait for Warhammer Quest, I’m going to Warhammer Fest on Sunday and hope to get a chance to play it.
Backed Dark Souls
Happy weekend everyone, love AVP stuff a lot!!
Game over man ! Game over !!
I really dig those aliens
im still deliberating whether to back dark souls or not…. very tempting
New AVP minis look cool 🙂
win comment!
I’d never heard of Dark Souls until the board game appeared on the horizon recently. I had / have no interest in the IP, but the miniatures look stunning. So I’m in. If the setting and/or game play turn out to be good, that’s a bonus.
I can’t say that exploiting the ‘computerised’ AI and fighting against really hard bosses sounds like particularly exciting game play to me, but I’m willing to be proved wrong!
I was at the Warhammer store today and Warhammer Quest is a lot of fun. I think it would be a lot of fun playing with a few friends. The mini’s are very good. The tiles and playing cards are all very interesting. The random nature of the next room makes it very interesting especially as each room has special rules associated with it.
Happy weekend!
Those Frostgrave captains are nice but i’ll still be using the ones i made with my Soldiers box though, unless i take one with mail armor then… maybe! Can’t wait for the gnolls though!
New AVP stuff, don’t get me started, i still haven’t got one thing yet… almost giving up on that.
happy weekend
It’s nice to see the Prodos prize give a little bit from each faction. Are they the new Unicast products?
Wow, I’d have thought Justin would have to put a bib on Lloyd to catch the drool when the new Dust tank was mentioned, but Lloyd was so “meh” about it.
I can agree that the price for the AoS starter boxes was fairly reasonable, but “Slaves of Darkness” looks like it referred to the painter’s palette. Ben’s idea of adding some blue was noteworthy. Otherwise, just prime black.
great show guys. warhammer quest looks nice but the price poiny compaired to some of the other dungeon crawlers is typical games workshop. makes me wonder how much blood bowl will cost
$265 dollarydoos for new WHQ
$284 dollarydoos for Shadows over Brimstone: City of the Ancients plus Swamps of Death.
$280 dollarydoos for Super Dungeon Explore: The Forgotten King, plus Caverns of Roxor and Von Drakk Manor
$272 dollarydoos for Descent second edition plus Shadow of Nerekhall and Labyrinth of Ruin (the two most expensive expansions which each include new boards, new decks, at least a dozen new models, and an entire new 20-30hr campaign book.)
$175 dollarydoos for Dungeon Saga: The Dwarf King’s Quest, The Infernal Crypts, and The Return of Valandor
It’s not even close to competitive in price
Warhammer quest is definately tempting me over to Age of Sigmar, so much so that I went out and picked up a copy of the Destruction forces book. I’m thinking about going green skins and build an army from a variety of manufacturers.
Lovely AVP minis!!
I really like the look of the AVP stuff.
Good show, a pleasure as always
Wow! Warhammer Quest looks fun for sure!
In the Warhammer Quest there is actually a female character as the Mistweaver Saih is constantly described as a she in the White Dwarf.
Congratulations to all the “Dark Age” winners, you jammie dancing gitz. Also not forgetting Aether Captains and Labyrinth winners………………………
At this moment in time Dark Souls has 26 hours to go, and is at a staggering £3,143,627………… I`d like to get this, but i`m gonna have to wait till it hits the shop`s. As i have spent way more than i should of done to date…………………………….
Prodos stuff is looking awesome
Great interview, really sold dark souls to me.
I have to admit, I haven’t played a Warhammer variant for 10 years. Didn’t like their sculpts. Infinity is a much better SciFi game and Freebooter, Malifaux, Guild Ball, etc. are better fantasy games. But watching those new sculpts of GW, wow very good job. I am thinking to start collecting again. Love their new style.
And Prodos, I am a huge fan of the Alien and Predator movies. Always painted my Tyranids in the style of aliens, but it was never a succes. The predators and face huckers are fantastic! Love their style.
Dark Souls looks incredible. Loved the games and the board game looks set to be a corker!
great show guys dark souls sounds good.
The Silver Tower game seems interesting
So if Kenny Cannon never responds for the prize, is Michael Cannon close enough? Prize Draws are like hand grenades, right? Close is good enough? 😉
New Warhammer Quest looks amazing as does the new add-ons for AVP
Eager to get my hands on Silver Tower, looks so nice!
Belated Jammy-dance I must have missed it the 1st time around
The show was super! 🙂
Can’t wait for my Dark Souls pledge, hadn’t really looked into Plague Inc Kickstarter but I’ve played the PC game and love that so it’s definitely on my watch list. Might have to give it a miss though can’t really have two Kickstarters in the same month.
Ha! Thanks for the shout-out, @dignity ! 😀 Actually, our weather here in Fort Lauderdale, Florida isn’t too bad. 87 F, or 30.5 C. Then again, we are the kings of air conditioning down here. t’s not until after the June rains that things get really miserable here, July-August … which are relieved only by the looming threat of Sept-Oct hurricane season.
But then comes the worst storm of all … Nov-Dec ! Holiday tourists from up north! AUGGGHH!!
Great show. I’ll be skipping Warhammer Quest regretfully and saving up cash for Blood Bowl in 2017.
I still remember Warhammer Quest from a few decades ago 🙂
Games Workshop, what are you doing to me?. First the Orks, wich I love´em, and now The Warhammer Quest. I can´t afford to enter the Age of Sigmar, it´not a money issue. It´s I have lots of games I,ve played once or twice. Don´t have the time and the mates that i need.
I kinda want that tower block. I’d like to work up a way to play Perfect Dark as a skirmish game.
All I can say is Prodos Games is the bomb!!!! Bring on the mini’s!
More Prodos promotion give aways?
Shame on you BoW
Give the prizes to an AVP backer that has been let down by Prodos!
I have the wave 2 AVP stuff and it’s all great will definitely look to get the young bloods
I love those sentry guns they are epic!!!
This was interesting!
Cool stuff!
The show was cool, the Warhammer Quest is amazing! 🙂
The young bloods look pretty good!
Really enjoy these shows
like the look of the avp minis
Thanks for the extend, now I can win some facehuggers!
The WHQ minis look great!
Silver Tower looks super!
Dark Souls sounds fun!
I wanna get a Dark Soul!
