Paranoid Miniatures Talk Mythos
We have Gareth and Dom from Paranoid Miniatures in the studio to talk about Mythos. We'll be delving into the narrative aspect of the game, the chance to game in the games and of course the insanely nice looking models.
John Paul Brisigotti On Star Trek: Ascendancy
John Paul also joined us to talk about Star Trek: Ascendancy. We'll be looking into the game mechanics as well as some of the tactics you might want to employ in game.
Kickstarter Time
Only one Kickstarter this week. We'll be delving into the look of Ninja Division & Soda Pop Miniatures' Rail Raiders campaign!
Could this be the way to win us over to the chibi-side?

Good morning another bumper show, those Mythos Minis are sweet, may just have to get them for painting 🙂
Next weekend is going to be messy..lol glad i am booked into the hotel. Not sure about the drinking game on friday but the Saturday night hell yeah:-)
Good show once again. The Mythos game looks great. Interesting mini’s, background and game play. I’d really like to try the Star Trek game it looks like it could be really a lot of fun.
Despite the fact that I likes me some Cthulhu and the Mythos mini previews have been very nice, I had absolutely no interest in the game until Warren sat down to talk with Paranoid miniatures.
Now I am totally sold on the game and I’m really keen to talk to them at Salute to find out more about the narrative campaign they mentioned. It also gives me a better understanding of where Dawn’s mini might fit in to the world and now I really, really need a Jezebel.
Hopefully I will be able to get a data connection at Salute because it looks like their KS is going live on the 16th!
Brilliant show as always, I do like the Sea Queen. She’d be an “interesting” MERCs Exec for ISS to have to retrieve/protect from another MegaCon.
Great show
Great looking mini. looked almost Drow-like with a Cthulu mix.
At Salute please have a good look at Gripping Beast’s “Saga, Age of the Wolf” campaign system for Saga. Given BoW just did a thing on organising campaigns I’d love to see what you think of this. While you are there look at their new Late Romans and ask them if they have any plans for them in terms of gaming systems.
I would appreciate you guys visiting the Anvil Industry stall at Salute and finding out more about their new human regiments figures as well as what their plans are for Afterlife.
great show as ever hope to run into you all at salute next week
Will definitely be checking out the Mythos guys at Salute. Looks a bloody good game.
Happy Saturday!
It’s Weekender time, which means awesome gaming entertainment while making dinner family 🙂
Have fun at Salute, if you get a chance check out Mierce?
Congrats to all the prize winners… So Jealous! 😀
Mythos looks better every time I learn more, I have 2 copies of the Sea Queen (I don’t need another ;-)) she is a fantastic miniature. The Hidden Ones and the Wildborn would be my factions of choice.
Awesome miniatures from mythos!
Great stuff, really looking forward to the star trek game. Any idea when it’s out?
Mythos looks awesome! I am a backstory geek and that game seems to have a great one.
Another massive Weekender, I got so much stuff painted during this 🙂
Awesome games in this episode. Probably going to pick up Chicago Way rule book and couple of starter sets at Salute. Also, the Mythos background and the models are stunning.
Can’t wait for your guys salute coverage, its the best thing for us who can’t be there, thanks!
great weekender, cant wait for Salute
Love that mini so subtle and creepy
Love anything Mythos and H.P. Lovecraftian stuff!
Nice show, not the best ever. But that’s I ain’t a Ctuhlu or Trekkie fan. But still full of nice looking miniatures. I really like the Chibi’s of Rail Raiders. I don’t think I will like the game, but maybe I will buy some just for painting. By the way, great to hear Games Workshop will support LOTR. Nice game with great miniatures.
And the Sea Queen, like that model. I love to see this model painted by my wife. She is a far better painter than I am.
Amazing miniature
Mythos is looking sooooo cool. Been waiting for a cthulhu skirmish miniature game with some great lore/backstory to go with it.
i’m interested in maybe getting some Mythos minis.
I’m afraid I’d use them primarily in other games, but hey, that’s better than nothing isn’t it? 😉
Nothing too intresting going on for me this week.
Great looking fig.
Rail raiders, yes !! Looks fantastic 😀
