Banner Saga: Warbands
Megacon Games are going to be launching the Kickstarter for the next big board game, Banner Saga: Warbands, next week. We got a look at some of the components, miniatures and more and can't wait for this one to hit.
If you haven't played the PC game then I suggest going over to Steam now to grab it HERE.
Interviewing John Stallard
John Stallard is back on the set talking about what the future holds for Warlord Games. We'll be discussing what kind of games they are looking at in the coming months and beyond.
Talking Eden & Stygmata + Big Competition!
Justin sits down with the guys from Happy Games Factory to have a chat about not only Eden, their post-apocalyptic skirmish game, but also Stygmata which takes their vision and translates it into a role-playing world.
We also have a superb competition from these guys where you could win...
...all you have to do is comment on the episode via Facebook, Youtube or Beasts Of War to be in with a chance.
Laser Terrain Co. Under The Camera
We also have some of the superb looking Laser Terrain Co. Plastic Terrain in the studio which is part of a Kickstarter campaign happening right now.

Morning
Good morning, nothing better than your show for starting the day 😉
Happy Weekend!
I love that Laser Terrain Co stuff. So tempted… I have too much terrain as it is though… Too much cool stuff!
The Battle of New Orleans was during the War of 1812 (actually 1814), not during the American Revolution.
The AWI/Revolution set would not work for the war of 1812. You’d want Napoleonic era figures. To put the proper context, in 1812 Wellington was battling Napoleon’s forces in Portugal and Spain (Peninsular War) and Napoleon himself was busy invading Russia.
How many wars did the Americans and English have with each other?
I can only think of 1812 . Does AWI count?. Was USA a country at this point or would it be counted as an early example of War on Terror by the British? Canada has been involved in 2 or 3 but again not sure if that counts
Mostly just the American War of Independence from 1775 to 1784(right before the French Revolution) and the War of 1812 which lasted from 1812(naturally) to 1815. And as was mentioned before, your favorite battle technically occurred AFTER the peace treaty was signed. 🙂 In fact those British who “ran through the brambles” were actually veterans of Waterloo.
There was a moment in the American Civil War where the south was seriously courting bringing in Great Britain into the war and it almost came to a head during the Trent affair where a british ship was boarded by a Union vessel to capture two Confederate diplomats, which mirrored the impressment of sailors from U.S. Ships by Great Britain which precluded and instigated the previously mentioned War of 1812. But calmer heads prevailed, and as Abraham Lincoln said, “One war at a time.”
So long story short, 2. 😀
But it was nearly 3 with “The Pig War of 1859” – where the 2 countries almost went to war over a pig.
http://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/The-Pig-War/
No one at New Orleans could have been a veteran of Waterloo, as Waterloo came afterwards and most of the troops at New Orleans would not have been at Waterloo. They were, mainly, Peninsular War veterans. Also, the Peace Treaty stated that war would continue until ratification by the US Congress and thus the battle was not after the war had ended (by about 2 days, I seem to recall). Also, @warzan , the Americans did not beat the British in any way close to the song you keep referencing…it was their artillery and Packenham messing things up and getting himself killed.
we fought two wars with each other the war of 1812 was a draw
I think the Pig War was more Canadian. I believe a certain Col Pickett was involved in that one
Just one as far as I know. And the war of 1812 had a massive build up, we were unofficially at war (by that I mean doing things you would expect to see during a war without formally declaring it) for several years prior. Seizing shipping, press ganging sailors, blockading ports etc. The war, when it happened, was a bit of an anticlimax but it did trigger a very long periodnof peace between the USA and the UK which has lasted ever since
those terminator miniatures look unreal!
Been a long week – topped off with a Weekend(er)!
Digital Wizard of Firetop… I don’t get it! Either do something significantly different with the story of re-issue a classic in the classic form of a book.
blaeyn is right..was the War of 1812, US forces commanded by Stonewall Jackson. The irony was that the battle technically happened after the war had ended.
I grew up and lived most of my life in Louisiana, and that song and the history (and legends) of the battle are kind of unavoidable. I’m surprised no one has mentioned the pirates yet, though. Between the Tony’s Creole Seasoning, black eyed peas, and Warren on about the Battle of New Orleans, a bunch of Irish guys are making me homesick for Cajun Country!
“Stonewall” Jackson was a Civil War general fighting for the South. You are thinking of Andrew Jackson, nicknamed “Old Hickory” and the 7th President of the United States. 🙂 But to your defense, both men had a history of standing and taking gunfire. 😀
Well it’s wonder John didn’t go bang trying not the laugh during Warrens over use of the word cock.
I’ve also bought a couple of their minis (got the War Wabbit at Easter) just cus they’r great figures.
Good morning guys
Morning!
Always love the kick starter round up. Do you follow up on any of the smaller kick starter projects you highlight?
morning
Loved the interview with John S from Warlord
BoW, the audio for the hubs swipe at 41 minutes has the wrong audio. Warmachine visual with Dropzone Commander audio followed by Kings of War visual with Infinity audio.
Same issue at 57 minutes.
Pick me! Pick me!
There is audio static.
Holy talk about one hub and it shows another…
“Join the infinty hub” but it shows bolt action.
And all of them are like that.
I’m most excited to hear the plastic Paras and US Airborne for Bolt Action will come out this year!!
The war of 1812 is a really fascinating subject. A bit of a sideshow for Britain as it was fighting for survival against Napoleon.
Interesting that Brits and Yanks still seem to have a complete different idea of who has actually won this affair.
For the Americans this is the second War of Independence and the origin of their national anthem and of course they have won..
For most of us over here the US wanted to invade Canada, got a bloody nose and the White House burnt down in retaliation. Canada saved, US sea blockaded, Job done..back to finish off Boney.
Most American military historians or even moderately-well read enthusiasts would probably not consider 1812 a “victory.” As @suetoniuspaullinus aptly points out, the White House was burnt down and Washington D.C. occupied by a British Army. Any war in which your president flees the city while his wife bravely remains behind to save the silver and artwork . . . hardly a victory.
Taking a step back to view the situation at a regional view, America came out far ahead in this affair, i.e. “stealing” the Louisiana Purchase from a cash-strapped Napoleon. About 12 million dollars for 820,000 square miles (almost the size of Greenland, almost nine times the size of the UK) . . .what would eventually become basically the middle third of the United States? That about 3 cents an acre . . .
Okay, we would eventually have to fight a war over it, because now we were essentially Napoleon’s “allies,” and we didn’t do terribly well in that war, but hey, we survived, and our nation was now double in size.
Taking a FURTHER step back to the global scale, The US can’t really be seen as “winning” the war of 1812 because we’re essentially on the “losing” side. People often compare Napoleon to Hitler (something I rarely agree with) . . . but if so . . . I guess that makes the US the “Finland” of 1812. 😀
“I’m most excited to hear the plastic Paras and US Airborne for Bolt Action will come out this year!” @suetoniuspaullinus
Right with you on this one, best news from Warlord ever! 🙂
Huh. Plastic Paras & Airborne might be what convinces me to take the jump into Bolt Action, as I’m trying to limit my mass-battle armies to plastic ranges wherever possible….
Morning all, a breath of fresh gaming air to launch a hopefully relaxing weekend!
Yay. Weekender time! Hadn’t heard of Eden until mentioned last week, but instantly piqued my interest especially as I backed the post-apocalyptic terrain on KS from Battlesysyems.
Glad to hear all the good things from Warlord Games. Biblical wargaming is something I have never heard of and know very little about, and would probably buy the book just for the information alone.
Mounted cocks??? For a second I thought I was on my other favourite website
Pros: Space Monkeys Con: all my money is going on glowey floor spaceships
Haha, all that talk of the mounted cocks! THAT nd Johns facial expressions were Not very conducive with me peacfeully drinking a cup of coffee ;P
GREAT vid as usual guys.
Not really looked much into Eden, but i must admit those miniatures do look very nice.
Are they plastics? or white metals?
Who has not give EDEN a try until now: do it, its a great game! 🙂
Eden two player starter bundle? Don’t mind if I do.
Hopefully talk of Nigel doing a Biblical (chariot) warfare book means we’ll be seeing more of the lovely Cutting Edge ranged they acquired a couple of years back.
Ok! Tell me how a very young Jervis Johnson managers to appear as the Technical director John Watson in the film from or on the Banner saga games article he pops up sat next to the Games designer in the red Mercs T shirt. Even down to the sideboards.
As for the show it was a cold coffee which as you know means a great one because my coffee went cold and we only made one, a two or even a three coffee all drunk means it was not a bad show but not much content that rocked my boat.
Can I also say that you guy’s really should point people in the direction of the weekend journey set out by Unclejimmy each weekend absolutely fantastic fun and is quickly becoming a smaller beast in the beast of war family.
Wow genuinely so much I want that was shown in this episode. Eden universe looks amazing. I love the art direction on the witches game. Warlock holds a special place in my heart. Great episode guys.
the one thing better than miniature wargaming is doctor who, warlord are going to leave me a financial wreck in the coming years
Fighting Fantasy was my gateway drug. I had the rpg books for it too. @warzan, do you have Titan? –
/revision/latest?cb=20081101090844
If you want to look up the said thread, this weeks title is under the heading A touch of class (sort of). If you want to have a go you need humour and a little bit of well what for better we shall call a style all of it’s own. This week is about art and what YOU like anyway have a look you really are missing out on something if you don’t.
Oriskany on orthodox eastern church builds in 1/72
Warren on stuff and other people who totally rip the ass out of the weekend from a gaming point of view.
Tell you what if you don’t approve of it, well then you need a humour transplant. There is serious serious stuff too.
Good hunting
CG
Amen, Brother Chris. 🙂 Best thread on BoW at the moment.
Gremlins riding giant cocks? What’s not to like? 😀
Weird World War from Warlord isn’t too interesting to me but the Italy campaign and a Biblical supplement will be a vicious pincer movement to overwhelm my wallet.
And the Retreat from Moscow. Cancel my calls*, cancel the pub, cancel eating**
Give me a break, Warlord! 😀
* i have no calls
** I could do with skipping a few meals.
Hopefully it won’t be encouraging chariots crashing into each other with frontal charges
Eden looks cool
Well played Jon. Well played. 😉
Good show guys. Lots of interesting stuff about lots of different genres and time periods.
Happy Sund – oh no wait.
thanks for the show gentleman…thanks for keeping me in the loop
Those Warlord releases look yummie…
So many games to collect and paint. But so few players over here… 🙁
Loving the look of those space corridors which would be ideal for a Doctor Who game. Everything happens in corridors in Who.
Commenting for Eden – the figures look interesting.
Eden? what! let see the demo game i like to know more
Warren probably eats his food smothered in cock sauce.
The Warlock of Firetop Mountain looks awesome.
Who would have thought it??? Warren likes a big cock!!!! :oP
Johns face was a picture during this conversation…
Very excited abut the potential Weird War Bolt Action miniatures :o)
I especially liked when Warren was talking about taking the goblin off the cock. Seems he wants that cock all to himself?
Sigh . . .
It’s never who you expect, is it? 😀
allways inviting us to comment with such nice prizes 😉 Here you are.
@warzan, Questions for Warlord John, will there be a WW1 Bolt Action which has been mentioned as a coming product on Osprey’s site?
Thanks. Andy.
Cant wait for the Eden videos
I’m not surprised that Goblin looks happy with a cock that big 😉
Commenting to win
Can’t believe I just heard about Eden, the mini are simply gorgeous. love how they combine the details we got used to see in recent years but still retain a very classical, old-school look to them
Goblins riding cocks has had me in random bouts of laughter since finishing watching the show. The Eden miniatures look great and cant wait to see some more content for the game.
luv luv the look of Eden miniatures….so much so that I jumped in my time machine and named my child after the game, before I’d even seen them! She loves that there’s a game called ‘Eden the game’ 🙂
Bit of a dangerous episode this with so many shiny things in it!
Happy Saturday
Caved yesterday and bought Antares, looking forward to seeing what happens! 🙂
@warzan it was mentioned in your salute videos by warlord that they are going to be working with clockwork goblin for the weird world war stuff.

BA Rules – http://www.clockworkgoblinminis.co.uk/downloads.html
Ahhh…that makes sense as the German Spinne Light Mechpanzer was in the teaser artwork.
Happy weekend everybody. Cool Weekender. The miniatures from Eden look awesome.
How cool would it be if the ppl making the backlit lazer etched terrain did a Dreadball pitch
Great show guys, looking forward to Justin’s Eden articles as I have some miniatures but not started to play the game yet- just the kick I need to dive in, loving the Terminator miniatures & the Warlock Kick-starter.
liking the look and feel of eden another system I may get into
Plastic paras, oh please
😀
Another great Weekender. Thx for the great start in the day…
Those Eden Models do look very nice
Mmmmmm, Eden looks tasty and I like the idea of Stygmata and setting an RPG in a tabletop world (as Wyrd have done with Malifaux and Through the Breach and is happening with Infinity). On the subject of Malifaux (kinda) can you guys work with Wyrd and let them know there’s a big following over here in Europe please? Maybe a some specials?
The Warlock of Firetop Mountain just looks so very good. I was completely obsessed with these books as a kid in the early 80’s. I still have them all and really can’t wait for my son to pick them up, they really are brilliant.
Aside from Hearthstone I’m not the biggest video gamer, but I’ll certainly back this, it looks extremely fun
Some Eden stuff …. I want it
Here is a question for John Stallard at Warlord or rather a couple of questions which are kind of linked. Are they going to release more for Dad’s Army? I am thinking more characters for the show both Home Guard and others from the show? Also are there any plans to increase the BEF range and include Home Guard for the British source book. I am thinking of BAR gunners, shotgun armed Home Guard, maybe even unarmed or pole armed Home Guard. I think they will be very good and would also suit 1938 A Very British Civil War too.
Maybe they’ll do a set based on ‘Went the day well’ Maybe with a scenario or two built around it as with the ‘Eagle has landed’ set.
Now that would be an excellent about Went the Day Well as that such an amazing film with some great characters in it.
Looking forward to the Eden series. It looks like a cool game and the minis look great.
Did i just hear plastic US airborne for boltaction? Its my dream come true!
Seems like quite a few of us are stoked by this news 🙂
happy weekender, morning guys. really interesting game EDEN. however the warlord stuff is really really interesting as well.
I love how the eden world does rpg and skirmish, will look forward to seeing how they balance that.
GOOD MORNING!
maybe a little more coffee for you guys?
that laser etched terrain is perfect for infinity!
the control room looks to scale perfectly for the ITS control room objectives!
Both the terminator mins and the eden stuff look really nice
The American War of Independence was, depending on when you consider the period to start, probably around half way through the period in history in which armies would wear brightly coloured, decorative uniforms. Although other people may beg to differ, that tradition started around the early to mid 1600’s with the trained bands, 100-150 years prior to the American Revolution and continued right up to the end of the 19th century (the British were still wearing Red No. 1’s during the Mahdist War). The reason I say it started in the early to mid 1600’s is because prior to that, things like armour were still common place, by the English Civil War, most armour for infantry had been phased out, with the exception of helmets, because it just wasn’t effective against the gunpowder weapons of the era (although there were still some Cavalry units that wore full plate) and the trained bands all had their own distinctive uniforms, as did many of the continental regiments of the era (for example the famous French Musketeers).
From the end of the American War of Independence in 1783, the dress uniform still had possibly 130 years or so of active use. Although Khakis were introduced in India around 1850, the British were still wearing Red No. 1s (the infamous Red Coats) to battle in the Zulu and Mahdist wars in Africa although by the Boer War, khaki uniforms were more common. Some armies were still wearing what could be seen as the legacy of dress uniforms even as late as WWI; the French battle dress in WWI was blue, as it had been since the French Revoolution.
Great post, @onlyonepinman . 🙂
I was going to say that the era of “brightly colored uniforms” is kind of a myth in the Revolution, at least for the Patriots. Even the Crown side packs tons of troops that are in fact American Loyalists with little or no “uniform” to speak of.
I always get worried when artwork or gaming sets depict ranks of Continental Regulars in bright blue. Seriously, this is the tiny minority, not only of the total number of Patriot troops involved, but also the time period. For 90% of the war the Continental Army couldn’t keep MEN in the ranks (desertion and enlistment terminations), let alone food, let alone shoes, let alone weapons. The absolute last thing they had time to worry about was uniforms.
The classic “blue line” of Continental Regulars is something you don’t see until the practically the very very end of the war.
That said, the Crown forces are USUALLY . . . well-dressed. British regulars, Hessians (so-called even though most of them were not from Hessia), etc. But once again, a huge percentage of the Crown forces were American Loyalists or the majority of the Native American tribes (i.e., four out of six tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy) – and there are no bright red (or blue and yellow in most German / Prussian regiments) uniforms here.
This, in my opinion, makes the Revolution much more interesting to paint. 🙂
Oh, and @dignity – for the love of God, stay away from “The Patriot.” I know I chafe a little when people start talking about the movie “Patton,” but “Patton” is an absolute historical gem compared to The Patriot.
Seriously, NOTHING is right. It takes some very offensive aspects and figures of the Revolution and slaps a cleaned-up fictional parody on top of it. Suffice to say that Halfway through filming they changed Mel Gibson’s character’s name because the real name of the man he’s representing is, well . . . when it’s too offensive for Mel Gibson, you have an idea what I’m talking about. 😀
They don’t even get the number of years in the Revolution right (two years between the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the 1780 campaign of South Carolina . . . instead of four). Seriously, a Revolutionary War movie that doesn’t know what happened in 1776.
As always, I try to be part of the solution, not the problem. 🙂 Therefore, if wanyone wants a quick, good, and accurate movie about how the Revolution really “looked,” I recommend “The Crossing.” It shows what the continental Army actually looked like, the less-sterling aspects of Washington’s personality, the hatred and suspicion between some of his generals, the Hessians, and how a vast portion of the colonial population hated the Revolution and its cause.
Best of all, it’s on Youtube in its entirely:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBEFC88C17D2C3149
@oriskany Thanks a lot for your informed historical analysis. You certainly have filled in a few gaps in my knowledge and fostered in interest in knowing more.
Yeah, I think my opinion is somewhat coloured as Brit. Much to do is made about the fame and indeed infamy of the British Redcoats. In the Americas especially, the British made use of irregulars and Militia comprised of both colonial and native Americans. In fact, and correct me if I’m wrong, many of the battles were in fact fought predominantly by Militia. At that time, the British government didn’t see America as important compared to its interests in India and the East and was quite reluctant to commit forces and resources to the campaign and was possibly somewhat arrogant in its approach to the whole war. What I do find interesting though, is that even in India, the British raised regiments of natives (Sepoys in India) and equipped them in Red coats, but they didn’t do that in the colonies.
Anyway, that particular period in history is fascinating and the sheer bravery or madness of the infantryman of the time is just staggering. To think that the prevailing tactic of the day was to line up against each other in what today would be considered parade uniform and then pour musket fire into each other and hope your number wasn’t up. No attempt at cover or hiding or protecting yourself. Just keep shooting at each other until one aide has had enough.
Another enjoyable TV series at the moment for anyone interested is Turn: Washington’s Spies
I have yet to see that, @onlyonepinman . That’s pretty good? I always shudder when TV tries to screw around with history, especially the Revolution.
And yes, quite a few battles were between Patriot militia and Crown loyalists. Literally hundreds, but particularly notable examples include King’s Mountain in SC and another little scrap in upstate New York called . . . ahem . . . Oriskany. 😀
Yes it is. Personally I’ve enjoyed both seasons of Turn as much as I’ve enjoyed reading any historic fiction. Just like I enjoyed the Sharpe novels and the made-for-TV movie series. The thing you need to bear in mind with such things is it’s historic fiction, not history. It’s a story set within the events of the time, not necessarily the story of the events themselves. Events and characters are often changed to allow the story to flow. But as Bernard Cornwell writes at the end of almost every book, why let the Truth get in the way of a good story? I think part of the problem with TV shows and movies is you only get the finished product whereas in a book you get the authors notes where they explain the inaccuracies and inconsistencies and explain why they are there. Those same decisions exist in film and TV but you don’t get them by default.
I remember watching a PBS series on the myths and legends of the people and history of the AWI. I would love to see it again
Whats your view on the film Revolution? Any good as an AWI film or just a good story. I personally think it is a fair and true film and is quite accurate.
Here’s something cool that people might want to look at with regards to the military liveries. Even outside of the subject of uniforms, this is actually a fantastic piece of work showing that despite everything that has changed in warfare how much has really stayed the same.
http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/thom-atkinson-soldiers-inventories
Ignore* the first four pictures (from 1066, 1244, 1415 and 1485) and start at 1588, where you can see the beginnings of the military uniform traditions. This then carries on all the way up to 1854 (although the uniform pictured is a green jacket of the rifles rather than traditional red-coat) and as I said earlier, the Red Coat was still standard issue for many soldiers right up to the 1890’s.
* The first 4 pictures are still interesting but not necessarily relevant to my point.
“AS you open the large wooden door and walk into the room you are ambushed by three giants cocks! What do you do?!” Them Lolz ^^
Eden looks intressting, I am looking forward to see the upcoming videos. Would like to see more on Terminator, your terrain and scenarios 😀
SPACE MONKEYS!
Who would have thought that Warren loved goblin cocks so much, and 3 at the same time too! Thats really not what I expected to watch this morning.
Ambivalence strikes again – really not sure if I will get the White or Black edition of the Sci-Fi Laser Terrain. Both looks so cool in their own way when lit up from underneath!
The banner saga looks nice, let´s see what megacon games brings us when they air the kickstarter campaign next week, even though They have now to fullfill Recon and Myth 2.0…
Yet another cracking show lads, well done. Eden really has my attention now
Good morning, great show.
Thank you John Stallard for answering the questions about Warlords other systems!
Eden looks interesting.
Yeah weekend time
Love to win that Eden stuff, especially those bikers
The lasercut terrain looks awesome, need to see if I can implement EL-panels into my ordinary terrain.
The ISC minis in Eden are gorgeous.
Now those Eden minis look great!
Totally blown by Laser Terrain Co !!! Warpath & Space Hulk a definite must have! Great show guys.
That lighty up scenery is fantastic.
Another great vid thanks guys
Can’t wait for duel in the sun release for Bolt Action. Great show.
Not a big fan of the art style of Wolfstar heroes. But I love the Eden miniatures.
I love these Eden miniatures, awesome models!
I dont know much about eden but after seeing the minis this week i may have to take the plunge
I don’t think I have had much exposure to EDEN as of yet. You Sirs have my attention.
That laser cut Sci-Fi stuff looks really good. Am I the only one thinking of dusting off my old Traveller books? Probably – 8)
Not a silly idea…
Great show chaps. 🙂
I have flicked an email to a mate about the Laser Terrain Co’s kickstarter as I agree it would be fantastic for AvP and he is a huge AvP fan! Great review.
Not going to discuss the Gremlin &…chickens… 😀
Star Wars Rebellion! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! This has to be the biggest release this year, 150 miniatures. 150! I am just giggling like a wee school boy about this. 🙂
Great to listen to the chaps from Happy Games (perfect name lol) about their new RPG. I am more and more intrigued by the world of Eden. A good friend of mine Pete is mad on post apocalyptic settings and I am sure this is a game he would jump at playing. He took a bunch of us for a romp through a ‘Fallout-eqsue’ homegrown RPG and I know he would embrace Stygmata and love scenario driven tabletop skirmishes.
I wasn’t sure about the visual style of Warlock of Firetop Mountain initially but once again Warren’s infectious enthusiasm has rubbed off on me and I felt myself getting more excited about the project. I literally have gone from ‘ehhh’ to ‘want!’. I finally tapped into my childhood memories and realised how much I enjoyed the fighting fantasy books and how much I want to relive this in the digital age. Well done Tin Man Games and @warzan, well done! 😀
@warzan With that Star Wars boardgame and a bit of painting, you could do your Hoth thing on a kitchen table.
Much easier to transport to Adepticon too!
that witch hunter game looks like something I might want
I wonder what the response will be to the dr who figures already available?
Those Dantes Angels are sexy with the motorbike but ISC has the better name? I’m torn….Back to my Myth miniatures.
I really like the ISC minis. Eden has been on the radar for me for quite some time.
The Eden game sounds interesting
Like the kickstarter and the black powder set looks amazing
Wyrd missed a trick when they didn’t name those chicken-riding Gremlins “Cock Goblins.”
Eden looks cool. I’d heard of the game before but deliberately not looked at it (too many games, not enough time or money!) but now I may be forced to do some research. There are times I gate you BoW! But if you let me win the two starters and the rulebook I’ll forgive you!
Hate*
Great show again guys. EDEN looks like a great game. Looks like our gaming group will be enjoying a “Year of Post-Apocalypse” next year, after we complete this year’s “Year of Fantasy”.
what’s happening with Judge Dredd Miniatures game?
Those Eden minis look interesting. Liking the grubby bikers.
Eden minis are interesting for sure
Miniatures for Eden look great, excited for game.
I Love the terrain at the start, It would need to be converted and painted differently but would work perfectly for my necron armies tomb satelite station.
I like this Laser Terrain 🙂
great show with john going to pop with warrens gremlin’s n cocks? the kick starters were good the witch game looks really good.
Lots of interesting stuff in this show! I’d love to see more coverage of the American Revolutionary Wars. I’ve never done much research but whenever I’ve come across stuff about it I’ve always found it interesting. And over the years the miniatures I’ve seen for it have always looked lovely too.
Once again, another great show.
Not sure about a combat system with no dice… I think I will leave my mond open and try to see how it plays in the flesh before deciding one way or the other.
Eden looks really good and an RPG game of it as well?! Wow!!!
Great interviews! But my highlight: AWI Box set from Warlord… I am drooling and wishing my bank balance had an extra zero on the end.
I’m interested in the Weird War 2 as hopefully it’ll give me something I can use my Dust models for that could have proper backing.
Bolt Action Weird World War. Giddyup.
I’m going to have to start looking into Eden, it’s piqued the wife’s Post-Apoc interest. Mini’s look very nice as well which is a big plus 🙂
the game looks great and i was hesitant between Eden and Pulp City for a new Skirmish game and Pulp city as won so it’s just a mather of time for me to get Eden and as a French Canadian i will probably will order it in French to play with my Boddy that does not speak English but if i am the lucy winner i would take whatever version you will have 🙂
also they will fit perfectly with my Urban Apocalypse Battlezone stuff that i had kikstart ,
Ho Yeaaa
weird stuff from Eden!
only thing missing from this episode was a clown to punch
very excited about Warlord releases!
I’m etching to get into the world of “Eden”, I’ve seen enough that i’ll be snagging bits and pieces of it here and there. The RPG looks good from what I’ve seen. But there’ll be a wait for that one. Guess I’ll have to find a shop fairly near that has the Eden rule book to get started.
hey warren i got my home raiders kickstarter the other day and the models are so good you guys going to do anymore vids on that system
Great show guys with a wealth of information, exciting stuff coming out of Warlord and those Eden miniatures look fantastic!
The lasercut terrain is beautiful – but man is it pricey compared to other options.
It’s definately high end quality. But I think I would go Battlesystems instead.
Another great show as usual! Though living in Japan means I have to wait until quite late on Sat – it’s a great humor-filled balm for a tough week of work!
Morning…send me something to paint well add to the expanding pile of projects
😉
Warlord me thinks biblical fight that would interesting.
Lots of great news there!
Love the goblins riding cocks as so many others do.
Warlord plans and specially the 2 paras plastic boxes are making me do the jammy dance!
And for your argument at the end of the show, you were both wrong! It says carrier on the picture sorry guys.
Great show. been looking at eden but i have too many games on the go atm.
Exciting stuff. I have to agree with Warren, I prefer my cocks erect.
John’s face as he is trying to ignore the discussion about giant cocks just made my day.
The Eden miniatures look wonderful. And the Laser Terrain is quite amazing. But could you please reel in the Kickstarter enthusiasm. My bank account can’t handle that many awesome projects.
Eden looks very good.
Awesome stuff!
Weird War II game from Warlord? Well they need to find a way to keep people interested in their WWII games so why not. Warlord is going places it seems and if space ships are in the future for them then I have a feeling it will be hard for me not to jump in.
I am really liking the solid interviews with the game designers and company staff.. really good to see whats going on in their heads!!! The teaser about Wierd World War stuff was pretty hilarious too… I would love to jump into the Eden game but I think my plate is full right now!!! Hopefully it continues to do well and I may end up picking up some of those models just to paint up!
spacemonkeys !
another cracking show, can’t wait for the Eden coverage!! also loved hearing John Stallards passion for his company, can’t wait to see what the future holds for bolt action
Hi guys.
Like the look of Eden. Would love to know more about the game. Any chance of a demo vid.
I’ve been looking at the war of independence as a black powder fix, that is a great battlebox!
well I doubt I will get into Eden indepently so winning the prize may be the only opportunity to get me involved :o)
I was wondering if Warlord have any plans for producing Chinese for Bolt Action
I just about busted a gut watching John try to keep a straight face during the Rooster portion of the show.
I’ve never been too interested in bolt action but the idea of a weird world war by warlord sounds amazing.
Intrigued by Eden… Its one of those games that pops up often when browsing gaming options as the minis are exquisite. Stygmata looks like a great way in. And who doesn’t like laser cut scenery!!
Eden, looks cool.
Thanks for another weekender guys.
Eden price entry
The Star Wars game looks really cool, I’m not so sure about Eden, but I don’t have a Post-Apocalypse go to game yet, so would be nice to have. The terrain would be very cool for a Deadzone game, except for the lack of levels, but I think we could do something with it.
Given that I am about to start Wasteland 2: The Director’s Cut, a post-apocalyptic wargame really appeals to me at the moment. I would love to try out Eden.
I’ve never played Bolt Action but I’m really starting to warm to it. Glad Warlord Games are still going to support it.
Did I just see Konflikt 47?
Well, thanks Warren, now I’ve got a Quint Laser Terrain Co pledge in… Didn’t go with the lights as although very cool but not necessary. Going to be Warpath (and definitely Firefight!)and SpaceHulk revisited…may even adapt Dreadzone rules too.
Walking Tanks will be amazing….. Ed209 incoming
Many times I’ve looked at Eden but never bought into it, so I wouldn’t mind winning that starter set.
EDEN looks awesome.
Edden looks interesting may have to check it out some time soon to many good games to play though and not enough time sigh….
I’m waiting for Banner Saga!
Damnit, another game that’s drawing me in! Eden looks amazing
sorry fellas! Battle of New Orleans was in War of 1812 and not American Rev.
I’d had no interest in Eden, but that’s a very interesting tease. How many figures is needed for a reasonable game?

the Hunt for red October has been a Board game since 1988 :p
Bah. I can’t afford to get into another game at this point with so many good things on the market and more coming out soon. But I may have to look into Eden.
Maybe.
Not purchasing anything. No sir.
Funny how warlord can handle so many games simultaneously whilst GW had to cut back from WHFB – which was probably bigger than warlord in its entirety!
It is of course up to GW what they do, but props to Warlord anyway. And yes, I ordered Gates of Antares rather than betrayal at calth, even though it looks amazing in the warhammer store.
Eden does look good. Maybe should give it a try.
You could.
And again I liked your show very much. Two great interviews. How is it possible, those French artist make such great miniatures. Confrontation and Alkemy were great, but the Eden miniatures are also great.
Bolt Action is also doing a very great job. Love their mini’s and use them for different systems. Weird World War 2 is a bit too far me. But I would like to see a Maus tank with a lot of Tesla Coils.
The Kickstarter part is the best. The Laser Terrain Co is so beautiful. The game Ghost Hunter: Witches looks like a lot of fun.
EDEN has ian interesting universe for sure, and some great minis too 🙂
Loving the look of Eden, great minis
Great stuff. Particularly enjoyed seeing the Laser Terrain stuff assembled. Wonder how well the lights show up in normal conditions?
Star Wars boardgame looks interesting!
The terrain Kickstarter looks amazing.
The fun of lights in the flooring will never get old.
I love hearing from all things Warlord Games.
I didn’t know that Warlord had taken over Wargames Factory until I tried to shop there the other day.
I will definitely be buying the English Civil War supplement.
The Eden game looks interesting. Will be keenly following Justin’s series on the game. The miniatures look awesome.
The RPG arriving at the same time as the miniatures game is probably a great idea. Getting people emersed into the lore behind your new tabletop game, through RPG gaming, has got to hold the potential for miniatures sales?
Sorry I haven’t used my Eternal Crusade code yet. Computer is still with Currys getting updated and fixed. Grrrrrr.
I enjoyed the dropfleet weekend coverage. Will not be buying (too many games and projects committed to, too little cash) but I could happily watch more contents and people playing the game all day.
Great show again guys! My only problem is trying to figure out how I’m going to pay for all the cool stuff coming out!?!
Great looking game and I do love some post apoc stuff since I currently play Dark Age. I’d also like to take the new apoc car bits and add it to terrain for this game.
Three interviews, you spoiled us this week! So what is Eden like to play?
The Eden RPG is looking good, especially with the crossover to the wargame.
I never seem to get round to watching at the weekend anymore. Another enjoyable show though. The Eden figs are very nice, not one I’ve ever really looked at before.
More Eden coverage please! The minis are fantastic, the game is small scale and fun. But it has not found it’s public in the UK yet. Maybe a few tutorial videos on it?
Stygmata is cool!
dIm quite a big fan of Eden. The game is very good.
@warzan
The Weird world war by Warlord will be called Konflikt 47, (I’ve got it in my amazon basket at the moment) in conjunction with Clockwork Goblin Miniatures.
I love the look of Eden. Will get to it after I finish my Infinity and Malifaux starter sets plus the extra Malifaux crew waiting for me to paint. As least I have built and primed then now :-/
Eden and Stygmata RPG look great. All very cool 🙂
I remember Eden a few years back at salute, they have such a great range of models and with scenery catching up on Post Apocalyptic gaming we can now put together boards that compliment the models and the theme.
Warlock of Firetop Mountain looks fantastic and really brings back memories from my childhood can’t wait to see more of it.
Haven’t [yet] gotten around to fully busting out my Escape [Eden boardgame] but really like the universe, setting & background fluff of Eden. & evrn though my Kickstarter rewards are languishing on my shelf, begging to be played, from the bits & parts I’ve dug through, it’s a very high quality product. My *Gaming To Do List* is very long…
Blaster was here…
Watching this late since I was away at a con this past weekend. I picked up the Gates of Antares and even played a game. Hope to see more content for it on BoW.
Also, I’ve been eying Eden for a while, so winning the prize would be a great way to push me into it, lol.
Tanks on robo legs driven by “SPACE MONKEYS!!!” ….NICE! 🙂
Tanks on robo legs driven by “SPACE MONKEYS!!!” …. NICE! 🙂
Looking to get into Eden so this would be epic to win
I’d like the Eden set!
I’ve got the Escape board game, and I’d be interested to try out Stygmata.
Also the Konflict ’47 ‘expansion’ to Bolt Action looks amazing!
Would love to get my hands on that Eden starter set!
I’m curious about Star Ware Rebellion.
Mushroom cloud? Looked like a tree to me as well!
I’d like to learn more about Stygmata!
I love Warlord Games!
warlock of firetop mountain looks brilliant and having played some of the other digital fighting fantasy games from them it should be really good !
