*****Happy Weekender!***** It’s the weekend and that means Hobby Time Opportunities for most of us. Sit back and let the OTT crew get us caught up on all that has happened this week in the studio and the rest of the world of gaming. That Oak and Iron video released this week really has me looking forward to my Kickstarter pledge arriving later this year! I look eagerly forward to any and all info that the OTT team can provide on Firelock Games next smash hit! Flames of War’s release of new troops for the Germans have my wife insisting… Read more »
Chaps – King Billy invaded England… they’ll try and tell you it was a Glorious Revolution – especially over here but it was an invasion. Great propaganda, still working today. Cue 100s of pages of comments – easy!
100% an invasion.
When an outside force lands on our shores, kills your citizens, deposes your king then claims to be your king that’s an invasion to everyone else.
Yep I think you are 100% correct
It’s really strange but after recording I started to watch Lucy Walsey? documentaries about the royal lines, and the Glorious Revolution came up, and I was like holy shit I hadnt thought of that!
Anyway I have got hooked on her documentaries and am now armed to educate @dignity about tudors, Stewart’s, hannovarians and sax goths lol
Yep the Hanoverian’s played a big part. That’s why in the Napoleonic Wars the British had the very Hanoverian “King’s German Legion” since the King was also the Elector of Hanover.
The guys who defended La Haye Sainte at Waterloo were the Light Battalion (Rifles) 2nd King’s German Legion if anyone wanted to know.
I love Lucy as well. She has a series called British History’s Biggest Fibs and the second part is all about the Glorious Revolution.
That’s one that I watched, it was excellent!
A more local one, Warren, is the French invaded the north of Ireland in either the 1760s or 80s, I can never remember. Carrickfergus Castle was sieged.
They tried again around the time of the United Irishmen, got a fleet to the coast of Ireland (near Cork, I think, south anyway) but they tried to do it in December, forgot their wooly hats and mittens, and a blizzard thwarted that invasion. I’m sure the more knowledgeable amongst us like Gerry or Torros could explain that better!
I shall be sure to poke @avernos with a stick to see what he says!
They also tried to do it in 1805 to coincide with the French Invasion of Britain (they even had ex-patriot Regiments) but that got called off after the Central Europeans decided to kick things off again.
@warzan Does this ‘Lucy Walsey’ have vids on YouTube?
There all BBC programmes if you know anywhere that shows these

Thanks @torros … Now I have something to watch while working on my Flames of War minis today!
100% pure propaganda. I asked my Dutch wife one time what people in the Netherlands thought of the ‘Glorious Revolution’ and the answer was “… the what?”.
We have zero info on your history.
Except perhaps that time when de Ruyter kicked your behinds … 😉
Ah but Billy was invited 😉
As to other invasions
Louis VIII of France in 1216, during the Barons War was probably the next largest after Hastings up till 1688.
Happy Saturday
The only royalty Bojo could be possibly related to is King Rollo
Or KING DONG going by the papers 😉
except King Rollo was the predecessor of William, which would make him English nobility again 😉
I meant
https://youtu.be/698GlFGKxXw
oh I know who you mean 😉
@warzan an Arco Flagellant isn’t a failed Space Marine. It’s a Heretic with a helmet pumped to the gills with drugs 24/7.
So when a Heretic is taken alive they get a chance at (Grimdark) redemption so they strap a helmet on them that pumps them full of sedatives and broadcasts glorious images of the Emperor to them until they get into battle when they turn it 180 and pump them full of Stims and pictures of violence. It’s the only way to save their souls after all.
Failed Space Marines usually become Servitors but servitors are also Vat Grown or Criminals.
Thanks for this, yep while I love all the pomp and uniform side of 40K this whole S&M side of the universe doesn’t really grab me. (But I’m not a huge fan of any of that post apocalyptic human/machine messy integration style – regardless of the game lol)
To my mind there has only been 2 invasions both strangely under the pretence of being invited. Firstly Prince Louis in 1215 after the death of King John and William of Orange. William had to fight a battle at Reading to take the throne and Louis while pronounced King was never crowned Other than that there have been a ton of raids from the French in Wales, the Spanish in Ireland and Scotland and the Americans in the American War of Independence as well as countless French raids in the HYW and by barbary pirates over the centuries . If… Read more »
Aren’t you forgetting the Roman invasion?
Well of course but the discussion was about invasions after 1066
Right, my bad.
Mob Sitters sounds great, but I don’t want Touts Out sprayed over the front of my house, so I’ll have to pass.
Remember folks, Snitches get stitches.
I haven’t heard the phrase, “Snitches get Stitches”, since Singapore in ………..(never mind)………….
It’s the Weekend!
Now I haven’t got any Rugby to distract me shortly I can concentrate on hobby and pastimes, starting of course with the show.
I generally dislike the body horror elements of 40k too, I just find it off-putting and can’t bring myself to paint it at all. Arco Flaggelents are generally heretics. Servitors are the worst criminals. Failed space marines generally become chapter serfs, personal servants for the successful candidates, the administrative layer of the chapter. I haven’t been into 40k for years, but I always loved aspect warriors & Eldar in general, so I might have to pick up some of the new stuff to slot into my old Ulthwé Force. It’ll never be played again unfortunately, but sometimes you just want… Read more »
In New Zealand the “Blood of Phoenix” boxset is $460.
To convert that back to your British Pounds the exchange rate is 0.5395, so that equals 248.17.
Ouchies!
Ouch is right!
It’s so nuts what they price things at here in nz. But someone must keep paying?
Or maybe they don’t want you to play their game … so they keep the silly prices ?
One can’t deny that the cost of shipping a few boxes of plastic to the edge of the earth has to be pretty expensive too.
Oh but they do…. Four or five years ago they opened a Warhammer one person store in my home town of Dunedin, which has only just had a population increase to 130,000 people. It isn’t even the largest city in the South Island, that is Christchurch which is to close 400,000. But for some reason they haven’t opened a store there, yet they have 2 in the greater Wellington area, with about 20,000 more people there. Auckland, our biggest city with around 1.5 million people has only 1 store but a whole heap of independents. The real problem is that… Read more »
Happy weekend Beasts one n all!!
Watching while the super-typhoon passes over. Keep it up!
happy weekender 🙂
Good morning everybody. You know who I am @warzan…. but hell freezes over the day I know what I think least anybody else knows what I’m thinking…. get well soon @brennon. 6 minutes in and we’re on politics…. XD Campaign for Flames of War and… Pants? Why do I keep hearing “pants” every time Warren says Tanks. XD News: already have said all I wanted to say under the articles 😉 Box licking and kissing: you seriously need to up your “buy our stuff” game. And I don’t mean the shop but your merchandize. What ever happened to all the… Read more »
Happy Weekend guys Woohoo almost time to play the FoW Campaign. Having watched the episode now and seeing the new boxset release from GW I wonder if they are stuck in a style trap due to how large their miniature range is. Primaris were for me a step in the right direction. They didn’t break the mold but brought a different look that seemed more in line with a true scale sculpt and less cartoony lines. This new release and even a lot of the Sister models seem to be holding to the style GW tends to be comfortable with.… Read more »

turns out it’s not a conversion but a 3D sculpty thing based on the art work, they really should’ve just done the art
Interesting
That’s very cool. It would be a good OTT challenge to convert and paint a miniature to go with a piece of art they like.
I think they had two teams working on this release.
One inspired team doing the new Banshees and their leader.
And one that somehow lacked inspiration for the Dark Space Elf leader.
I wouldn’t be surprised if office politics played a role in this.
Yeah the Blood Of The Phoenix box could have done with dropping the vehicles and putting it into the usual £100 price range. I hope they have priced themselves out of their own market and end up with a load of these on the shelf so they don’t push this price point again. Too much money for too little.
I kind of hope they don’t because then they will claim that ‘Eldar don’t sell’ … 🙁
Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone at GW wanted this boxed set of Eldar to fail as a product.
£140 does sound a lot for a few plastic models I could get 800 10mm or 1900 6mm models for that or about 100 28mm metal historical models
It’s not that expensive in GW pricing though …
Good Morning Weekenders! Woot! I’m back in the saddle! Got 2d breakfast in my lap BOW on and a day at my local gaming haunt ahead of me. Nice to have the time to sit down to this again!
huzzah
GEAT SHOW AS ALWAYS
I’m looking forward to the D-Day Global Campaign! Great show as ever, have a terrific weekend guys.
I am able to login again :). I guess BOW is getting spammed again
I’m with you Warren on the weird looking stuff
Another great Weekender, the Blood of the Phoenix and Reaper Bones miniatures look awesome and might be something to get into for future projects
You missed the alien invasion of 1987 Warren, when the reptilians took over the government from the pod people clones that had been running things since the early 1950s
Ah poor Ben. He’s not well. Be nice to him
