Mantic Games Talk Warpath
Stewart from Mantic has popped into the studio to talk about the new Warpath Kickstarter discussing where they are right now and what ideas they have for the future of the game.
They have unlocked a whole load of different armies include the Plague and the Asterians. Which have you decided to go for?
Anarchy Models Showing Off Stencils
Brian from Anarchy Models is also in the studio shooting some video with us showing off techniques for using his airbrushing stencils.
We get a chance to talk with him about the stencils and his new Kickstarter which is now live.
Kickstarters
Bots Battleground & Boogie Dice - If you have ever grown tired of rolling your own dice then see what you think of this campaign with sound activated dice. They also have a fun game as part of the campaign too which uses speciality dice made for their card battling robots.
ARGO Board Game - Race to the escape pods and escape the aliens while also shoving other astronaut teams into the path of dangerous aliens. Sounds like a fantastic chance to kill off your friends in this new board game currently on Kickstarter.

Morning
I gotta say, enforcer models look great. I’d play them.
I would go with the Forgefathers who doesnt love space dwarves!!
Happy Weekend!
I’ve already pledge for the Tyrant pledge on Warpath so I don’t think I need to win another Deadzone box :p
The Veer-myn look great. Mutant ships rats with armed with unstable chemical weapons, works for me.
I was hoping that the Marauders might get some love, but apparently they’re still not being addressed in the Kickstarter right now. Vermyn look cool, but having glued every finger I have to every other while trying to build the Vermyn from Project Pandora, I’m hesitant. I do love the Plastic Enforcers, and the jet bikes are awesome, so I guess I’ll go that route for now.
Yeah, it sucks for Marauder fans, but the reason they’re not in the KS is because they’re being completely redesigned, which will take a while. They should definitely be worth waiting for!
Warren it was Sylvester McCoy that fought the Candyman 🙂
Yeah much later. I forget the actor’s name but he used to shop at my folks’ market stall.
Morning! great show guys!
As for Warpath, I would go Veer-myn. All the way, always been fascinated with rat men, now rat men in space! sneaky and disgusting! RAT_MEN!!!!!
Morning All
Haha David Cameron’s pig will never get old.
That’s because it was dead.
I’m going all in on Warpath on to big armies of Veer-myn and Plague because the world needs more space rats and space zombies.
I also like zombies, so I’d choose the Plague 🙂
@warzan the Kandy Man faced off against Sylvester McCoy’s Dr, and his rather tasty (geddit) assistant Ace.
McCoy was my favorite Doctor, although I think ACE had quite a bit to do with it.
It’s the weekend!!
Interesting stuff, but not a lot to float my particular boat in this week’s episode, but as the hobby widens then you have to expect that every now and then.
Does the BattleZone terrain count as a faction?
I guess if pushed to choose a faction then the Asterian would be something I’d enjoy painting up.
ARGO Update!!
Update 4 on Argo KS has just announced…. “NOW WITH MINIATURES”… LOL
I asked my son to pick his favorite from Warpath, and he said the Enforcers look the coolest. So, if I win them, he gets them 🙂
Great show! It’s got to be Forge Fathers, something different to the usual space ‘marines’ enforcers and corporation. Though I’d love for the Z’zor to eventually get a force of critters!
For anyone looking to get into WW1 (Warren you’ll like this one) the ANZAC’s Miniseries is awesome for both watching as a series and seeing the tactics used in combat
Another great Weekender. Veer-Myn are my favorite faction for Warpath, Deadzone and Dreadball. Looking forward to playing them, got to love them space rats. Looking to get some Skaven to play as Ratkin in Kings of War. Must have a thing for those rats, I even play a Shaman in Shadowrun, with a Rat Totem.
Good morning! Forge Farthers because I never heard about space dwarfs who are totaly awesome.
I am not sure if I like team Yankee everything is way more deadly and this makes you lose units fast. This is not bad but I think people will play even more defensive and make it a shooting gallery.
Thanks for this video – it will be good for the campaign as well.
I’m in for Advanced warfare and a lot of add-ons.
I’m in for the Asterians. I really like the cypher concept and the look of the new battle droids.
Happy Saturday,
In Warpath I will take Veermyn because nothing is more cool than space Rat
I have pledged for the Total Warfare level. So I will be getting the starter set, the Forge Fathers Battle-group and the Forge Fathers Tanks Battle-group.
Enforcers to match my Iron Man paint scheme Dreadball team 😀
Already picked Dwarf Forge Fathers they look so awsome carnt wait to get them 🙂
Morning!
I have to say these previews have me quite curious for panzerfauste. I’ve been trying to get my gaming group interested. On the other hand, it’s yet another game that BoW have got me buying. I need to get stuff painted guys!
This show needs a bit more deadzone.
You really don’t make using and getting into airbrushes as easy as you claim.
“To do air brushing you need: this expensive confusing kit, this expensive confusing kit and this expensive confusing kit”
Put simply there is no magic bullet for this (yet) Airbrushing has some basic needs that must be met (good controllable airflow being one) We are trying to guide folk on how to have a reliable and enjoyable experience of airbrushing, not here’s how to spend the absolute minimum and only get it working for a few mins… There are some reliable brands who are basically known quantities like badger, h&s and iwatta then there are lower cost alternatives that until tested are basically a stab in the dark. (They may be great, they may be safe but unless they… Read more »
Thanks for the sum up, I’ll keep an eye out for the new vids 🙂
I purchased a dual action airbrush after the last round of videos by Brian (I actually got mine from Brian and he was very helpful with identifying the bits if kit I would need). I joined backstage for all the extra airbrushing content so I could get an idea if it was for me (and discovered the rest of the wonderful backstage content too – great work BoW). The airbrush feels a bit weird and complex to begin with but it gets simpler with time and only took me a couple of sessions to get a feel for it. I… Read more »
i have owned an airbrush for many years it is a cheap syphon fed from a bottle single action it was fed by a can of air it put me off. after many years i then got a dual action iwata and a cheap compressor…it again put me off as the compessor was rubbish. just last week i took the plunge and got a decent compressor and a slightly cheaper air brush….bingo lights on all falling into place…so my advice buy the best compressor you can i have also ordered some cheaper dual action airbrushes off ebay will see how… Read more »
I got into ABing by buying a cheapo $25aus AB from ebay. Granted the compressor was $90, but you don’t need to break the bank on the actual brush when you’re starting out. In fact I would counsel against it given how easy it is to break the brush as you learn how to clean and maintain it.
Still, I agree it’s not cheap to break into, but don’t get daunted looking at the $200 plus brushes. And as far as I’m concerned, it’s the best investment I’ve ever made in the hobby.
