Weekender: Age Of Sigmar Hits & Amazing Terrain
July 4, 2015 by warzan
Welcome to The Weekender! We've got some cracking stuff for you today including a look at some brilliant terrain and a discussion on the new Age of Sigmar. Do we think it has promise for Games Workshop? Let's get stuck in.
Awesome Terrain
First up we're going to be looking at a range of different terrain companies throughout the show. The first of these is Cracked Earth Studios who provide an awesome array of different fully painted Fantasy buildings and other terrain pieces that would be perfect for your tabletop.
Dawn and Gianna love these guys and we can see why.
As well as that we're looking at what's new from 4Ground which includes their new Ruins terrain which we reckon could well be perfect for some additional character on our Age of Sigmar Table.
Age of Sigmar
Talking of the Age of Sigmar from Games Workshop we also have a discussion about what we think of it so far after seeing the rules and the myriad of different models. It's certainly a new direction for Games Workshop to take with the game but we reckon that's got to be a good thing right?
Heer46 Kickstarter
Going historical we also have a look at the Heer46 IndieGoGo which is looking to bring a range of metal Germans from World War II onto the tabletop. It's based on the historical events surrounding the Eastern Front push on Russian by the Germans.
They are doing a nice array of metal miniatures alongside some vehicles from a stalwart of the industry, Rubicon.
Prizes!
We've also had some prizes to give out and some prizes to win! One of these is for a set of the FOUR DEMIGODS painted by Awaken Realms for Demigods Evolution. The other is for the 4Ground City Watch Tower. Keep an eye out to see if you won.

Have a great Saturday.
very interesting to see were fantasy is going
Also the trailer for Infinaty may just get me to look the game up
Demigods look interesting. Fantastic miniatures for sure ๐
Loch Death that’s a proper Warhammer name.
God damn it! I just finished painting my Ariadna…better get stuck in with the new ones then ๐
Maybe a side by side comparison of these two painting levels standard and PRO?
@warzan you need to take your time when going from the closecam
Um I’m a VERY average painter so let me please win shiny, shiny Demi Gods figures to induce a Gollum isn response from smeagol, I mean me.
Think that the “experiment” was a great sucsess, I didn’t notice the audio sync issue, the only (very minor) edit “mistake” I noticed was a little sectiom where Warren was talking to the main camera but the camera shot was from the side. However had I not been looking closely to give you feedback I’d probably not have noticed this either. Glad to see you guys are spending our Backstager fees well, quicker editing means more content and I can’t wait for more live stuff.
Catch you in XLBS tomorrow morning!
Ok looked at the Age of Sigmar rules now they seem ok-ish, looks fairly playable but I’m yet to convinced theres not a better skirmish game already out their. It feels kinda light so will have to wait and see. I’m not saying I wouldn’t buy it but definitely sitting on the fence for the moment.
Oh and the new set up worked well I thought a few moments where Warren was looking into the wrong camera etc but nothing major. Well done guys its nice to see you continue to push the envelope with the entire Beasts of War experience.
Gooooood morning ๐
I’m not sure how I feel about the age of sigmar stuff. Not a fan of the fantasy marines styling but see some potential in smaller scale games, having never managed to get a proper sized army complete in the past. Overall I think there are probably other games out there that interest me more as I get back into the hobby.
Shameless attempt to win prize
This Imperial Knight looks great! I wonder what we will find in AoS rules… it looks like its huge change in WFB rules ;/
Nice show as always. Not sure about AoS.
Age of Slumber…
Watching that teaser I was like “yeah, Americans. Not to much a fan of tha… Holy crap! They’ve got bikes! Must have!”
I keep seeing that copy of Dreadfleet behind Warren. I’d love to see them bring that out again.
Ah, Dreadfleet. While not the greatest game in the world, it has great models and was fun. Shame the reaction was so negative. It was nice to see GW doing something different for a change, rather than re-hashing what has gone before. A bit like AoS. I’m not a fan of the models and the rules don’t excite me, but credit to GW for stepping out of their comfort zone.
Ahhh, new Infinity box and week upcoming! Great news!
I think GW didn’t coordinate this very well with Forge World. Many of us have Forge World fantasy models and I feel the very least they could have done is put up a notice on the website to let us know what will happen.
As it goes I spoke to Forge World and in the next few months they hope to get scrolls done for existing product range but no one knows and it sounds doubtful there will be any scrolls for discontinued models such as Tamurikhan or the war mammoth. This leaves me thinking we will have to create our own scrolls and get opponent consent. There was a hint but only a hint that they may redo some older models but we won’t know for many months yet. In the meantime large Forge World models could gather dust or make their way to eBay.
That aside some of the scrolls do look interesting and where initially it may be a novelty to wear a false moustache or carry a mug of ale around when playing I for one will agree beforehand lets just assume we each meet the silly rule requirement for any models fielded and have a game.
Whereยดs all the bolt-action stuff? Did you not record more than those two/four videos? WOuld love to see more of your “old-school” demo games. I think I learn way more from them old videos compared to the new that try to focus on specific rule/part of the game. DO love the tactics style videos you did with DzC but more demos man, they rock! This way we also get to see more the fantasic terrain you got.
Yes we have more ๐
So erm… What did you think of the show? ๐
The shows are great, wouldnt be a paying members else ๐
not so sure about the models , i guess they are look to convert some 40k players over !
the rules sound interesting though
I’d love some demigods ๐
I didn’t really find any problem with the show ๐ It’s an amazing work!
