Happy Saturday from SK beasts!!!!! Hope you all have a wicked weekend 🙂
Same to you @irishsteve
I dont think anyone here would dream of slagging you off for a free T shirt. I think they are more than willing to do it for free
Lol true just too true he he
It’s the Weekend!!
But is it a weekend to kick-back and enjoy some fruits of my hobby labours, or labour some more on ripening more hobby fruits? If I had a “John” then I could do both!
I think I may enjoy a drink if some well ripened fruits this weekend 😉
Battlefield full of dead soldiers and the last one committing Hari-kiri… who’s been watching Westworld Series 2?
Happy Canada Day Weekend!
Happy Canada day to you too mate!
Favourite model has to be Commander Ajax. I just love how he’s in a relaxed position, ready to cast judgement in the form of a hammer to the face! 😀
Also clothing is overrated.
A man after my own heart lol you could help me convince @dignity about the virtues of becoming a naturist 😉
Maybe something for Weekend XXXLBS?
Lol
Is this where Justin turns up dressed as David Bellamy?
I think the old Mark Copplestone Future wars range would be fun for he Cyberpunk game. It would be kind of William Gibson meets Dave Lee Roth but it would be fun and colourful
Happy Saturday, all! 🙂
Thanks very much, @warzan and @dracs for the mention of the Kursk article series starting Monday. Very serious 1943 battles in multiple levels and in multiple gaming systems, I hope the community enjoys it! 😀
Really looking forward to it @oriskany
It’ll be high quality again, no doubt!
Thanks @warzan and @neves1789 !
I tried to edit / add to the above comment put apparently ran out of time. 🙂 The whole “Battle of Kursk would kill us all if re-fought today” was loosely based on this: 4.5 million men including the Operation Kutusov / Rumyantzev backlash, 12000 AFVs, 5000 aircraft, 15000+ guns, etc. These numbers exceed (in some categories) the worst “Team Yankee” scenarios for a full-scale NATO/Warsaw Pact showdown in Europe, even considering numbers at the height of the Cold War (early-mid 1980s). So picture 1.5-2 “Team Yankee” scenarios. This is the “Battle of Kursk II.” That battle would have to… Read more »
@warzan I don’t worry about wibbley shirts,I’m on the inside of this looking out, I don’t have to see it…
Maybe Tabards would work for those of use with more… well just more.
Lol tabards lol I can’t stop giggling lol
I can’t drink Gin. I am allergic to Juniper Berry.
Hmmmm how about a black bush?
Mmmmm….I’ve always found a nice black bush quite tasty….
As far as Solomon Kane is concerned… The gameplay is what it’s about, not just the minis. The campaign has struggled a bit getting the message across about the game itself, and the lovely minis don’t help.
Since you recorded- Red Shadows, the last add-on, has been revealed. Chase Le Loup into Africa – gorilla and all…
Won’t be going all-in, but the Americas and Red Shadows combo should do me!
What add-ins are people looking to get?
Very true the game itself looks a very innovative experience.
Equally though it’s hard to resist the incredible design and sculpting talent Mythic have 🙂
Moar shirtz!
This is why I am picking up the Solomon Kane game:
https://www.peginc.com/store/solomon-kane-the-savage-world-of-solomon-kane-rpg/
Oh cool find! I didn’t know that existed 🙂
I am a HUGE Solomon Kane fan and a HUGE Savage Worlds Fan.
The Savage World of Solomon Kane is an excellent RPG. I highly recommend it.
@warzan Great weekender as always team. If I might weigh in on “Tight T Shirt Gate”, have you considered On The Table Top Moo Moos?? Those of us with slipped chests and cuddlier dispositions might benefit from this more roomier option in the T Shirt line. Just a thought ?
via GIPHY
Should partner with battle foam and gamemat to make the ultimate mumu. Wearable reversible gamemat with webbing and configurable pocket load out!
I really love that Cassandra model it has such a cool pose and the wings just look awesome
@warzan I reject your value system and on occasion find you personally ridiculous. XXL please!
Lol
As for Legends of Signum, there’s a lot to like but Vadoma really jumps out; really characterful.
What
s this a show only just over an hour long, and the "BIG" man getting laid in to............whats the world coming to, id of done it for a few pints 😉 failing that theres always that pic taken in the viking longboat.Happy sunny Saturday morning guys, nice show as usual. I
m gonna have to stop watching till the end, or your gonna have to stop showing all those beautiful KS.............now ive only gone and backed Critical Role Miniatures you gitz. 🙂Happy weekend guys. Cyberpunk was my gateway into the hobby many years ago and I am really looking forward to seeing what comes out of the Osprey project. Those Romans look lovely especially for the scale. Looking forward to seeing more of them. I think that Warren is looking at this t-shirt thing the wrong way. Normally you have to pay extra for a larger billboard space. Maybe have a small OTT on the left moob and a big one on the back for when you attend events buddy, less wrinkles back there just a big crack 😉 Have a… Read more »
Dammit now I think I have to back Legends of Signum!
My favourite is Roland The Proud because the detail on the Griffon is amazing.
Day 1 backer of Legends of Signum. Fantastic looking models backed up by a tactically interesting game. Great to see extended coverage here 🙂
My favourite for Legends of Signum has to be Tara the Moonblade. I love the expression on her face and the outfit looks so lovely on her and I’m also just a sucker for anthropomorphic versions of wolves or wolf like beings.
Signum has so many great models but if I HAD to choose one it’d be the genie.
My favorite Gin is Monkey 47 Gin, which is a German Schwarzwald Dry Gin. Incredibly hard to find in the USA so I always purchase several bottles to stow them away for future use.
Speaking of rule sets, I would love to see BoW do a video of Orsprey’s Gaslands.
I keep seeing the updates for Terrain Crate. As a KS backer I still have not received mine yet, can’t wait
I hadn’t really heard of Legends of Signum. I am worried about the double dangers of CCG and Pewtercrack combined within one game. Surely the government should be getting invlolved here?
That being said, theres some very nice models there. I think my favourite is Alluna becuase she is so dynamic. That claok look a dream to paint too. Plus she’s airborn and theres no offputting flight stand. There were a few close second though.
