Aww Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Andrea.
Happy Saturday and Birthday
Happy Birthday Andrea and Happy Weekend
Cannot wait for Reich Buster kickstart date. I am for sure loosing my Kickstater Cherry on this game.
That terrain looks pretty good for 40k Kill Team or even Infinty. The ancient ruins look good for D&D or Frostgrave.
Happy Birthday Andrea, have a great weekend!
It’s the Weekend!!
Happy Birthday Andrea! A few more birthdays for me and every day will feel like a Weekend, with only things like Weekenders to remind me what day it is 😉
@brennon Strange & Norrell is set a few years before Victorian times – more Napoleonic and Georgian, with Gentlemen reviving the lost ability to practice magic in a sceptical world but eventually being able to prove their worth campaigning in Europe. Good as the series was, it’s one of those that for the full immersive experience the book is essential. A fantastic setting to develop for RPG purposes thinking back to recent discussions on world building.
my son has magnetic shapes meant to be put together to make buildings and 3D shapes in a similar way. I was thinking it would be a good idea for table top modular terrain. It’s good to see someone has done it. I’d sure love to build a 3D labyrinth tower
Happy birthday and Happy Weekend!
Happy birthday Andrea!
A touch of class with that birthday message. The terrain looks like clever concept, with the magnets and/or tab options
hype hype – oh yes yes – the weekender has landed – Good Morning all from here on the south coast UK, Brighton 🙂
Happy Birthday.
10 day campaign? Why hype upon hype? Makes me suspicious.
Smaller product range. It’s as simple as that.
Take most campaigns and you see the initial surge, then weeks of inertia before the final push. Cut out the inertia stage!
I think they’ve learnt from the last few and are catching up with the general feeling that some projects were just getting too big with a drip-drip SG release.
I’ve learnt my lesson and for recent campaigns I’ve personally been restraining myself to the core box, often coming with a box of SGs and then only Add-ons that don’t just bloat the bundle with more minis. MB:P I added Poseidon, Hate just added Mother Prophecy, Joan of Arc I pulled out of (except the dragon) Solomon Kane I stuck with the core bundle and so on. If I go into Reich Busters it will be the same.
Monumental? Too much, unless I stick with tokens, remember that first off it’s got to work as a game!
There’s only so much hobby time, game time and ultimately shelf space. Looking forward to a short and sweet campaign. At least this is still being developed unlike another recent short campaign that really is just a pre-order.
I think that some kind of Atlantis style terrain would be cool.
The Aztec style set would be good for a Legion table, maybe as a Sith/Jedi Temple.
I like that idea!
Happy birthday Andrea!
Two different but awesome terrain sets on show. Both Kickstarters have my interest piqued. The grimy industrial stuff looks perfect for Necromunda and the Aztec type stuff would be ideal for an alternative 40k setting.
Nice show guys. I would definitely go for the Mayan Rampart version as this will be great for games of frostgrave, and pirate skirmish games with lots of overgrown jungle terrain.
Could also be used for games using my predator minis from AvP hunting humans they have captured similar to the film from a few years back
Archon Terrain? What I’d appreciate would be simple, clean, modern architecture panels (perhaps with ability to slot in ‘glass’) for offices, research labs. So flexible for 20th-21st century modern through to near-future settings.
I would try to create an abandoned research lab landscape out of the rampart set. Looks really sweet!
42 Seconds @warzan 42!!!! Not ten. But I beer’ed 😉
Here in Germany women get older then 21… they get 29, 29a, 29b, 29c… you get the idea. 😉 Happy (maybe belated) birthday to andrea…. And I really hope @warzan has gotten her something substantial to. Like a nice dinner. A new car. 😉
On with the show.
I like to say I am 21 plus VAT only the VAT increases.
And yes Warren did brill on the pressie front ?
“Anything fun that can happen on the table top” …. soooo we’re getting a 18+ section? Or is that a reference to the idea that John should paint in a small booth in your new venue behind a curtain and people pay to lift that curtain? 😉
all the walls are laminated and can be cleaned with a squeegee
So everything has a “happy end” *badumm* *tiss*
A lot of those tables aren’t sturdy enough for most of the fun in an 18+ section….
Have you tested?
I have an experienced calibrated eye. 😛 You learn fast to avoid tables that won’t handle a proper amount of “attention”. In the heat of the moment you don’t have time to reverse the polarity. 😉 🙂 😉
But it’s just a jump to the left…. and then a step to the riiiight…. XD *something* *something* pelvic thrust*
Leets dooooo the timewarp agaaaaaain
put your hands on your hips, and bring your knees in tight 😉
Happy Birthday Andrea and happy weekend to everyone 🙂
I have read ‘Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell’, and i concur: It is one of the best fantasy novels, nay, perhaps one of the best novels i have read. Its author, Susanna Clarke, manages to imply an alternate history cum fantasy world that promises to be as vast and detailed as J.R.R. Tolkien’s or G.R.R Martin’s. The premises and consequent narratives have what are, in my experience at least, a refreshing original take on the subject of magic and, thereby, the fantasy genre.
While the gothic stuff seems more useful to me (add on lots of confession booths), I kind of want that pseudo-mayan/Aztec temple stuff more (add on lots of sacrificial alters with plenty of victims of various species)
so buy one, win one? fingers crossed
Its great that Rampart are doing Sci-fi and Fantasy. Bridges would be a great component
Happy birthday to Andrea, and is @warzan losing weight again? 😀 😀 😀
I didn’t realise that Ramparts was anything other than gothic scifi. unfortunately its not suitable for any of the games I currently play, but I bet its great for Kill Team, and the Aztec stuff would make for an awseome Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago table.
happy weekend guys!! reichbusters looks awesome! the artwork is incredible, great looking minis
Reichsbuster ? – all in of course
Loving the Castle Wolfenstein vibe coming out of Reichbusters.
… and happy birthday Andrea.
Happy Saturday and happy birthday Andrea 🙂
The www2 Kickstarter looks really interesting 🙂
Also, did I tell I that I really, really want that prize? For a forgotten pre galactic republic for SW:L
Best part of Saturday mornings is checking out the new Weekender.
Good Morning Everyone!
Reichbusters looks interesting.
I really enjoyed the article this week about’Tales From The Loop’ being crafted into the Potterverse. Good to see that get some more attention.
Happy Birthday
I’m really hyped for Reich Busters.
The minis for Reichbusters look great, as is the story. Who does not love zombies and killing nazis? I wonder if this can be more of a miniatures game rather than a boardgame with minis….
Good Luck all, how fun.
Good luck all, how fun,.
with that terrain i would use it for what it was intended for: warzone resurrection
Az needs to learn how to swear….
Like the look of Rampart… Kazumi Temple is a nice change from traditional setting and be great for an Indiana Jones or Lara Croft type game.
As a teacher in Ipswich I cannot but agree. I would rather face Werewolves than be sent to a comp. Did 6 years in one, and learnt a lot about what is wrong and will be wrong with this country.
I’d really like some necromunda terrain, gothic slums kinda terrain
Since I’m mostly playing Infinity I think I would use that gothic cathedral terrain and paint it up as shiny as possible, representing a PanO Military Orders monastery on Neoterra.
The Archon Rampart Eternal Cathedral with the extra add-ons and Apse would be my choice. And it would be the RPG set with “solidified” walls. As need as the cracked walls are, there’s potential for not just 40k/Kill Team type terrain, but Space Hulk and Zone Mortalis style corridors and multi-level locations. And, if you squint a bit, you can picture Viking raids, fantasy sieges, and battles in catacombs too. One comment during the Weekender got me thinking about the magnets and 4D-Printing. If you could shake the box and spill out the Rampart content then watch a random structure assemble itself, that would be quite a Kickstarter.
Happy Birthday Andrea.
Hi.
I like to see a cyberpunk landscape.
In regards to the Enigma machine; The first capture of a naval Enigma machine with its cipher keys from a U-boat was made on 9 May 1941 by HMS Bulldog of Britain’s Royal Navy, commanded by Captain Joe Baker-Cresswell. The U-boat was U-110. In 1942, the British seized U-559, capturing additional Enigma codebooks.
The mathematicians who helped Turing crack the code were polish, Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski and Jerzy Różycki
The Poles built doubles of the commercial Enigma machine and with the help of a French spy managed to recreate the military version in 1933. In 1939 one these machines was passed to the British and one to the French
From John Wiley’s book Enigma: Battle for the code
On the last Saturday in January 1929 an alert customs officer working in Warsaw had been about to process a heavy box when his suspicions were aroused by a request from the German Embassy. Apparently the box had been sent to Poland by mistake and a German Embassy official was requesting that it should be returned to Germany immediately. When the box was opened, an Enigma machine was found inside. The Polish General Staff’s Cipher Bureau quickly called in two engineers to examine it. This reference also has the Polish Cipher Bureau receiving technical details of the Enigma from the French in December 1931 and September 1932.
Happy Birthday Andrea, and THANK YOU for all of your help and support in making Beasts of War possible.
Reichbusters looks absolutely fantastic. Models, gameplay, art, setting – I love the lot.
All-in. No question about it.
Happy Birthday Andrea.
Thanks for all the Happy Birthday messages guys. Warren has def earned his brownie points lol !!
Smart looking terrain. I’m putting together a jungle table, that Aztec ruin set would fit in very nicely!
I think I would build Scifi back streets or maybe a gothic sewer labyrinth.
@orkess Happy birthday and weekend.
@warzan You old smoothie.
Sam, you were looking very sharp today. True story, you hair looks better facing the other way. Fashion tips over.
@oriskany he does look like he’s shed a pound or two. Also have you been consulted on the historical accuracy of the Reichbusters ??
That scenery is nice and very versatile. Be a good addition to my Walking Dead collection.
We kid around, @woldenspoons – but in truth … actually yes. I was. Back in last week’s Weekender XLBS episode between Justin and I.
Happy birthday Andrea.
While Reichbusters looks good that assassins creed game makes me want to cry. I am so broke at the minute I can’t afford to pledge. Sob…
Yet another great prize. I suppose in the spirit of generosity I’d have to take the futuristic ruins set if I win, to donate to my gaming club. Killteam and 40K still rule the roost so it would make me the most popular guy in town for probably the whole of next year. Lol.
After much searching, I stumbled upon a regular group who wants to play Frostgrave and my brother after much pushing and playing his first game of Rangers of Shadow Deep is now swapping battle reports with me. My brother said he would go in with me on the Rampart: Magnetized Modular Terrain and I am hoping my new friends are interested too. I do not see why we cannot use them for both settings.
As far as Reichbusters, it will be really hard to go all in so I hope the pledge manager will be available some time after xmas. At the present rate I may have a fully dedicated book case just for Mythic Games. I recently finished painting all of Pantheon and waiting for JoA.
funny that a very popular age for women everywhere. Lol happy birthday misses Warzan.
I’ve tried to take a break from Kickstarters, but Reichbusters is pretty tempting. I have been watching the Rampart KS too looking at it for a Hogwarts style terrain, funny enough. I’m converting the Harry Potter board game to a minis game as the tiles are rather bland.
love the Reich buster figures with a classic comic baddy look.
the one that looks like a Gothic temple would be great for a zombie apocalypse rpg game
and happy birth day Andrea
I’d use the Mayan set for a post apocalyptic game half buried in the jungle
Thx Mythic! Was trying to reach the end of the year without another KS!Though my old eyes would’ve preferred them to keep the 35mm sculpts.
great weekender guys love the new models an buildings.
Another good weekender. Reich Busters seems like a fun game. I know that you should be playing as Allies but I really would like to play as an Vril augmented German against the heroes. It could be fun to foil the heroes in their efforts 🙂
The Rampart magnetized terrain looks awesome! I’m thinking it would be a great addition to flesh out my 40K ruined buildings mat. I think it would mesh well with that old 40K terrain and would allow me to modularize the game board so that it never has the same lanes/streets or LOS blocking terrain. Really like the companies that are starting to use the magnets for terrain. Great for storage and they are like ever changing Legos!
Great Show guys!
Can never have too much terrain, and those look great
Fantastic terrain, will be great for everything between Infinity and Frostgrave, and would look great on a big killteam table.
That terrain looks amazing!! got my pledge set up.
Wow that terrain looks awesome! I would build spaceship/Cathedral interiors with the sci-fi set and massively over-engineer some form of Mayan Pyramid with the fantasy set! ……Ah who am I kidding! It’ll join the million other incomplete projects….but it’ll be fun to play with?
Happy Birthday Andrea, mistress of Warzan.
3″ cube is the way to go, must throw money at this, ooh the postage.
Would you please ask Leo to add some points to Reichbusters, I do not like Dungeon crawlers but rather big games and skirmish games.
Mayan Rampart terrain would be cool, and something that would be unique. Would love a futuristing Egyptian pyramid deal as well for the future.
A good show as well
I’d love to see a game of The Drowned Earth played on that temple terrain! Some good old fashioned treasure hunting to go along with it.
Happy weekend!
Happy Birthday Andrea!
Well, my interest is definitly “proded” for Reich Buster (damn, my wallet is going to cry again 🙂 ), can’t wait to see how it goes.
For Rampart, my idea is to use the Aztec terrain for a city board for the lizardmen in Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago. Although i saw other comments for a Star Wars Legion table with the Aztec style wich is very cool.
See you on XLBS!
The scifi rampart set is awesome! Magnets is a cool idea!
Reich Busters looks cool. Kind of wanted a crippled scientist cyborg in a chair guy or a brain in a bottle guy.
Happy Birthday!
I’m not even sure what type of terrain I’d be able to bring myself to pick. Both themes would back for beautiful tables for the group.
I’m painting up my Aliens vs Predator minis and that Kazumi temple set would form a great backdrop for a hunt! And it would supplement my other Aztec style terrain for both Kings of War and DnD!
GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVER!
The Aztec style terrain would look great with my Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago.
Super show. The Aztec/Mayan terrain looks cool, nice to see someone trying something different. Although lizardmen are a good call I’d like to use it on my Pulp Africa jungle table with my Savage Core Amazonian lost tribe miniatures. In terms of extras you can never go far wrong with a set of animal totem statues on plinths and a couple of blank plinths for us to mount our own statues too.
That gothic Rmapart terrain would, obviously, be good in Frostgrave. I’m currently thinking about going old school and back to Mordheim though… that same set would make a fantastic backdrop for a few skirmishes involving the Sisters of Mercy. Maybe even adapting some of the online co-op scenarios to have the Sisters as the ‘enemy’ forces.

That’s some nice terrain. I would probably use it to play with my kids.
Loving te Aztec style terrain, not enough of that around. Be good for AVP.
Happy weekend! rampart ickstarter from Prod… khem. from Archon isperfect for warzone. I cannot wait to play great games fighting mutants and evil alike.
Great Weekender – and love the Archon Rampart Kickstarter… so great to see the two different styles… you asked about things I’d like to see… with stuff that dynamic and modular, the part that would put it over the top of me would be more options for bases and flooring for the buildings, or even the ability to build raised platforms (squares or rectangles) especially for the South American style terrain… I think often in our great dynamic terrain builds, we forget about the impact that hills have on the battle (but for LOS and also to funnel infantry and vehicle into certain areas)… and just plopping a “hill” onto one of these great tablescapes just often looks out of place… so an ‘artificial’ way to do that is with platforms and bases for the buildings to raise them up…
Also lets you even take it a step further and potentially build sewers and canals as your ‘base’ for the game with a large part of the tabletop’s ‘first floor’ being elevated to start.
Obviously for a big 6’x4′ table this might not be reasonable, but for games like Kill Team, Deadzone, or Frostgrave I think that can be reasonably done. Thanks! and good luck with the KS!
Oh,and HAPPY 21st Birthday Andrea!
Reichbusters theme reminds me of Incursion (a good thing from my POV), but game play looks different.
Happy birthday madam Andrea. Reich Busters looks pretty neat I must say. I think I’m an expansion for it you should be able to steal like a smaller version of the Vrill Panzer.
One improvement I’d like on that Rampart KS, have removable doors on some of the regular walls. Maybe some medium size plugs for bigger decor. Hell, maybe even blank plugs where you can glue your own stuff on there or run a cable/line/organic bits from one end to another.
Happy Birthday Andrea! Thank you for letting Warren come out and play with us.
It means he’s not making a mess at home lol
For the Rampart, its 40k hive scenario is what would be my go to.
I would build a temple in the jungle and use bolt action/spectre minis to play an apocalypse now!
Happy Birthday Andrea!
Really great weekender this week.
6xx doggo on steroids is a rad sculpt! I would do a Stalingrad-esque district for Rampart.
Cracking scenery!!
Excellent show folks. Super stoked for Reichbusters!
Id likely go with some good ole aztek dungeon delving. Good for your AoS or Ghost Archipelago games. I think itd do well to chuk some moss and vines to make it look really overgrown.
The rampart terrain is fantastic. I want to use it for Frostgrave, Deadzone, Punkapocalyptic and Ghost Archipelago. The flexibility is impressive. Also, it will fit many different types of genres.
Wow! Thanks guys! I’ve never won anything before! Can’t wait to get WHQ:BF 🙂
I’ll have to create a project at OTT for a campaign using my original WHQ painted set…
Riech Busters looks awesome and really like the look of the Crowd Forge studios terrain.
As for Assassins Creed video games personally think AC3 is the best.
@dracs if you ever get chance to visit York,go visit the Ye Olde Star. Apart from it been an interesting pub and the place where the book starts,there’s a sign over the bar proudly showing as the home of the society of York magicians.
Happy birthday! I’d like to see if I could Mix both sets together for some avp or starwars games.. Sort of aztec ruin with sci-fi internals.
@dracs really sells Johnathan Strange & Mr Norrel; have added it to my audible wish list and will have to give it a go at some point. 🙂
Riech Busters: I’d argue Claudine does have a uniform; she’s wearing the ‘uniform’ that the Communist Resistance wore in ‘Allo ‘Allo. ;).
General Wolff puts me in mind of Davros more than Blofeld really. A little conversion work to replace the Nazi iconography with Imperial/Chaos ones and I think he’d look great in 40k as an Imperial/Chaos Guard general or even as an Inquisitor.
Crowd Forge terrain: As I’ve mentioned before I’m not a fan of flatpack terrain, but I will say the stickers on the clips improve things a bit as it adds a little bit of that 3D element that flatpack is missing.
Magnetic terrain: the building springing out of the box is just the quick deploy feature – turn up to the game, point the box at the table and let it set it up. ?
Competition: I think I’d go for the sci-fi set to do ruins for 40k, but if they did an Egyptian set I’d go for that without a second thought to go with my Thousand Sons. On the other hand I suppose I could go for the Lizardman set and use it to make Slaani/Old Ones ruins for my Sons to fight over/excavate. ?
Good to see the Mythic guys back. Always nice to see Az’s smiling face back on the screen.
Now I’m thinking of the Kazumi Temple and I get a real original Tomb Raider vibe. I wonder if there’s a mini game out there about racing through traps and monsters to be the first Lara Croft/Indiana Jones type to snatch all the treasure?
Failing that, I am seeing a great ancient ruin for a Victoriana themed game. A chance to get away from the typical gas lit streets and head for the deep, dark jungles. There could even be a blimp. =D
I love the Aztec side of the terrain. An Aztec board for steampunk games will be on the table, possibly even Malifaux.
That Rampart sets look excellent. I’d love to see a nice Cathedral style structure. Something suitably huge.
Man those Reichbusters miniatures look cool.
I would use Rampart terrain to build a hive city for Necromunda or Killteam.
like a mixture of the two to create an old moulding into new look on the terrain
Terrain looks good.
The Aztec rampart stuff is pretty cool, wondering what I might do with it. An Alien ruin to loot in Core Space? A jungle themed Frostgrave perhaps? Hmm…
That Aztec Rampart terrain looks damn cool. I’d be using it for WFB/9th Age for a Lizardman ruined city.
I would build a Lizardman City!
I’d go for the sci-fi Rampart terrain; could use it in so many games!
happy birthday Andrea 😀
Finally managed to get through the show damn work and babies!
Cant wait for 7pm tonight to back reichbusters!
For the rampart comp I feel that my lgs really needs some sci-fi terrain so a think a space cathedral would be awesome
Belated happy birthday Andrea . Always nice to see Az and Leo on the show , the excitement they have for their latest creation is catching . Reichbusters looks like a great game with fantastic looking figures , now to find the $ to buy in
I don’t know what game to use it for, but the Aztec terrain looks awesome!
I think it would be interesting to mix the two sets of rampart terrain. They are both absolutely stunning. Of course, the sci-fi is perfect for dense Grim-dark landscapes for full games or kill team and even Necromunda. The Aztec could find a home in any fantasy or sci-fi table and possibly in historical or pulp gaming as well.
temple
For the Rampart Terrain I think I would like to do an Outdoor rec center. So you have the buildings take up half of an board with the other half being trees and bushes. Most tables I see are either outdoors or city. With few really mixing things up a bit. What I would really like to know is where can I get that green four leg walker that are in the Rampart banner add you been using.
Happy Saturday, much belated! Another great episode.
I have a ton of that Malifaux terraclips (sp?) terrain, and it was fantastic for our TTB campaign, but for sure stickers on the clips would have made it look even better.
Reichbusters looks great, I look forward to watching the Let’s Play.
