Weekender: Ace Myth Minis, Prodos Head Sculpts & The 100th Episode!
May 30, 2015 by warzan
After the insanity that was the Bolt Action Boot Camp we're back with The Weekender and it's 100th Episode of the show today!
100 Episodes!
It seems so long ago that we set up the first episode of The Weekender with one camera and a handful of topics to talk about. We talk about the show, the work that goes into it and maybe even feel a little bit proud!
Warpath 2 Alpha
Last week also saw the exclusive launch for Backstagers of the Warpath 2 Alpha Rules by Mantic Games. If you want to pick those up then head over there with a Backstage Account and download them to give them a go.
UK Games Expo Live Blog
This weekend also sees the UK Games Expo kick off in Birmingham England and we have Ben over there to run a Live Blog for us of the days events. It should all kick off at 11am barring any major problems so keep an eye out.
Myth Miniatures
One of our community members, Jay Adan, has painted up a superb set of Myth miniatures and we take some time to delve into his collection and give it the attention it deserves!
You can follow along with a great thread on the forums called 'What Are You Painting Now?' which is great for seeing new projects.
World Wide D-Day Campaign
Don't forget that as well as the World Wide D-Day Campaign kicking off in the forums with the help of chrisg and oriskany we're also going to be seeing a new article series on Mondays from oriskany himself!
Keep an eye out for it and learn a bit more about what it's all about.
Warren & Justin In Miniature Form
In a massive ego boost both Warren and Justin have been turned into miniatures. Warren shows off his Slaughter Ball miniatures while both of them have also had their heads sculpted up by Prodos Games using the new service they provide.
Winners!
Last but not least we have some winners. The overall victor of the Battlezones Challenge is announced, we give away the Mars Attacks Mega Bundle AND all the winners from the Live Blog who got a D-Day Firefight Set will be revealed too.
If you want to claim a prize use the form HERE.
Have a great weekend folks!
Congratulations on the 100th episode.
The tangle of rats creature you’re on about is a rat king. You try reading Terry Pratchets ‘ The Amazing Maurice ‘ to your kids , my son loved it so much we had to get it on audio tape. Even at 20 it’s still one of his favourite books.
Happy 100 ! Congrats and thanks for making a great show !!!
Awesome episode! think I’m going to look into getting into the game!
Congratulations are in order gentlemen!
Here’s to the next 100 🙂
Those heads are superb and the Myth paint jobs extraordinarily good, both worthy of the occasion.
Looking forward to the BSXL ermm XLBS..
Congrats on reaching 100….
Happy 100th episode, soon you guys must compile a be(a)st of the weekender episode!
And here’s to another 100 great episodes, Cheers!
as always an amazing show. Saw the enforcer interceptor at the open day, one thing you don’t get from the pics is how big it is. despite its size though Ronnie did confirm it will only transport 5 men.
Wait XLBS stands for Back Stage? I thought it was… y’know nevermind.
has the telegram from the queen arrived yet?
100 not out. Well done fellas.
On to the content … THAT FLYER!
@dignity thinks it’s a safari helmet, @warzan thinks its a WW1 tommy lid.. c’mon lads you’re taking the pith.
Great show – the war-gaming heads look fantastic.
Face mapping huh. I can see it now – bolt action BOW vs Dads Army. 🙂
Happy 100th guys
Having seen the pics I’m tempted to add my head to a few armies now….
Happy 100th. Well done guys.
Happy 100th guys
Fab episode…
I am still feeling a little guilty about the Pegasus Bridge game last week, mainly because we jumped into the game on Saturday evening and if I had stopped and thought about it we would have fought from the correct sides and maybe it would have been a British win… oh well
Still it was a good game with some brave para’s … and a totally honour to help kick off the day games.
No one can blame you, @commodorerob . I don’t think there was “supposed” to be Waffen SS troops and a Panther tank on the bridge, after all. 🙂
Zis german high command had given orders for zis bridges to held Englander. Ve vill have succeeded vether no matter vich side you vould have landed on.
Victory for the fatherland
Chin up you still 1966 ha ha ha
I personally think that the Germans winning Pegasus was EXACTLY what we needed!
Whilst Chris and Jim have their work cut out for them it’s amazing to ask ‘what if?’ And theorise on possible knock on effects
Frankly it would be boring if we weren’t thinking and learning about the history
I agree. As much as I love history, if the game shakes out EXACTLY as it did historically, than maybe it starts to get a little dull. Also, with so many operations going on, so many battles, landings, drops, glider assaults, firefights, commando raids, naval barrages, counterattacks, resistance actions . . . the 100% reversal of one operation – even one as vital as Pegasus Bridge – isn’t going to throw the whole thing on its head. But it does make the east flank interesting, doesn’t it?
Which reminds me, @lateo . Your paras had better do a job at Merville Battery! Pegasus Bridge was one thing, but there’s a reputation to uphold here! 😀
Happy Hundredth!!
Congrats on 100 guys!!! Here’s to 100’s more.
Loved Jay’s Myth images. He’s a real talent. Here’s his YouTube channel if interested

100th episode, congrats guys!
I’ve watched every one (and the xlbs’s too), and there have been some brilliant moments. I think those few ‘outside broadcasts’ when you moved back from Essex are most memorable, people walking around behind you all wondering what the heck is going on.
I must confess my first love is Turn 8, but other than that this is by far the best gaming show I have come across, and i include Tabletop in that. The first 100 have been genuinely entertaining, thanks from me to everyone who has been involved.
NERF THROWDOWN!!! 101st Episode!!!!
Congratulations on getting to show 100 guys
Happy 100th guys

Happy century, Roll on the millennium.
Congrats guys! To a hundred more!
