Happy weekend all!
And a very happy weekender to you @longshotte
Happy Weekend!!!
Happy weekend @enginseer any hobby plans?
@warzan I’ve put together a Gnoll Elementalist warband for Frostgrave. I’m hoping to be able to get some more paint on them this weekend.
I made a series of short videos where I use soda as a random name generator 😀 which you can see here.

It’s the Weekend!!
A weekend I suspect spent ‘hobbying in the gaps’ at best – the gaps between usual chores, a few sporting events and some work I need to complete!
A very big weekend of sport this one, betting shops will make a mint
12 volt air pump. You will only do it manually once then buy one. Just buy one now and skip the pain.
Lol thanks for the tip mate
It’s the weekend! Enjoying the show before final house clean blitzing before the landlord’s visit.
Always enjoy seeing Carlos on the show and great for an update. Imagine a conversation between him and Ronnie from Mantic?
@warzan I hope the weather holds for your holiday. Nothing to do with the fact I live in North Wales too. ?
Finally, #dawnisours #dawnisaurs
Thank you @woldenspoons lol
You know if it’s good then that’s a bonus but it’s not important, we have plenty to do indoors together and I’m just really looking forward to a break and time with the family 🙂
I’d play as Adeptus Arbites in Wrath & Glory.
That’s a flipping good choice! What way would you play the character?
Yes.
Where can I get a “dCome and join us” from and what games can I use it in ?
If you ever play Elite Dangerous, don’t ever fly to Alpha Centauri! From popping out of hyper space, it took a good 45 minutes of real time to get to the space station there! There isn’t a lot to do while that’s going on other than watch TV!
Ah it’s the weekend 🙂 and the weekender has arrived. @warzan nice ‘gold’ OTT t-shirt did only one arrive 😉 😉
All hail the king baby 😉
Your majesty
Hey @warzan you should check out Loftus Hall https://www.loftushall.ie if you want to scare the kids 😉
That looks awesome lol
Happy Saturday!
Cheers Fellas
LOL, you just proved you don’t need an index as you flipped straight to the volcano page suggested 🙂 Also, post-it notes or bookmarks as the gM would be prepared.
@warzan Have a good holiday and is that an index on the back cover?
Was going to point out the same thing …
It is a index, just not numbered
Great show. O can’t help but wonder how many skirmish games GW can create in the same IP that uses different rules. Necromunda, Kill Team, Shadow War Armageddon, Rogue Trader (for release later this year), 40K can be played at skirmish levels and arguable the 2 Horus Heresy, Overkill and whatever the Assassin game was called were all skirmish games. All of them are very different and all have redeeming features, but I wouldn’t put it past GW to bring out more in the not too distant future.
I can see picking up two copies of the “Big Book of Battle Mats” to expand everything by opening and butting them together. I wonder what combinations will work together. You could do the Normandie landings with two books.
Are the mini images on the back page in order? Because would work as an index of sorts.
Now I have a copy 🙂 , yes they are in order.
Big Book of Battlemats could use a flight area. Just bare sky. But quite useful.
Happy Weekend, everyone! And have a great vacation, @warzan – after all the work with OTT / 2.0 / GDPR / UKGE (and more letters and numbers as well) you certainly deserve it! 😀 – – – and dare I suggest that the team could probably use a break as well!
Happy weekend all! Another great show. I loved the book of battle maps. I do have stacks of RPG terrain of all different kinds, but for something portable, it’s a wonderful little thing. There are tons of other options out there (hellscapes, churches, celestial plains, forests etc…), but I think just a few editions of the same kind of book with some more variety would be great. I’ve played both Dark Heresy and Black Crusade, and both games are a lot of fun, so nice to see some fresh 40k RPG goodness. It was a shame that Black Crusade sort’ve… Read more »
@warzan congrats on finding a shirt with the new logo
Once again boys I’d like to thank you for another killer show. Coffee and The Weekender are my Saturday and Sunday morning ritual. Been a backstage for awhile now. I love the content you guys put out. Thanks
I watched for warren meets mat, stayed around to get my heart rate down haha.
I can’t tell if the team is concerned with Warren going on vacation, or reassured? Happy weekend.
Happy weekend!
