Weekend starts on a high…weekender and rogue one on the television. Hooray
spring clean you say,,, bound to have one or two pieces around on need of revamping…
it irrationally bothers me that Justin refuses to introduce Ben & Gerry 😀
Correct. Everyone else has fallen in line
It should be Benito and Geraldo.
It may help attract more viewers. If not you could make some money on club lounge bingo hall touring scene playing remastered versions of Michael Bolton classics for bongo and Hammond organ
Happy Weekend!!!
Sorry I’m late, I got distracted by the Dan Abnett video on Voxcast. 🙂
Is it just me or is there no video showing on this page?. Off to you tube
No- i can’t see it either. Watching on Youtube instead.
I’m sure it’ll be sorted when someone recovers from over-stuffing themselves with hot-cross buns and dancing naked around a bonfire baking a load of spuds (or however it is they celebrate Eastrein NI) ! 😉
in the meantime…
https://youtu.be/Le8m3TJ4gC8
Video now uploaded to the post 😉
Very careless Ben. Any repeat f this and you’ll be forced to listen to Warren going on endlessly about 3D printing for a week
It’s the Weekend? I know Eastre weekend with its extended Pagan derived fertility rites makes it hard to keep track of days. But from an OTT / BoW perspective it’s Saturday, there”s a Weekender to watch so…
It’s the Weekend!
GW “Of course you need three books costing £30-40 each to be able to play a LOTR skirmish game! Isn’t that where the market’s headed?”
Ummm… No!?!
To correct Gerry slightly… Dungeons and Doggies came in a big f-off 10″x8″x2.5″ box when it could easily have fitted a 6″x4″x1″ box. I know they were using an SFG standard size GB box but still… the waste of resources and potential retailers shelf-space!
I see what you’re saying, but if they already have that box then making a limited run of smaller boxes would cost them more.
Good morning weekender???
Picking up scrubbers in Poundland is a game I never want to play in real life 🙂
I have a few old Imperial Guard tanks I started in the 90s, and never got finished, so this might be a good opportunity to finish them!
Yet I have heard many do. I think they are located with the bleach and baby wipes
or found smoking tabs outside the shop while their children run amok
Bleach isn’t strong enough for what you might catch in Armagh!
I was referring to the pan scrubbers being in the kitchen aisle near the bleach which is opposite the baby products. What are you talking about?
Not appropriate for a family show anyway!!!
It’s the Weekender! Spring Cleaning you say……………is this where OTT try to talk us all into painting our 40k Drop-Pods like Easter Eggs? ‘The Curse Of The Red Simians’ looks like a keeper to me! Love the old pulp stories and really like the ‘add your own rules set’ idea, (which is something that I have done for years when I find a story that I like but don’t like the rules that are attached). Sarissa’s ‘Mountain Villages’ – I’d love to have a complete village of these buildings. I can imagine the fighting moving through the whole village and… Read more »
Thanks for the mention, @templar007 – yeah, if you’re looking for “T-somethings” for the Israelis to shoot at, the best investment is the ole’ reliable T-54/55. You’ll be able to use them liberally in the 1967, 73, and 82 wars with no problem at all. The green-brown paint scheme for Syrians on the Golan Heights, PLO/PLA in Lebanon in 1982, and sandy-desert schemes for the Egyptians in 67 and 73. Of course, there’s the T-62. Be careful here, this is a bit of a “corner case” where they were really only used heavily in 1973, and even then only by… Read more »
Shortest. Show. Ever.
Barely a mention of Burrows and Badgers, Saga or random internet stuff. What has this show come to?
Gerry at least tantalized us with a metaphoric glimpse at the dragons hoard and entertained us with obscure geek knowledge.
After hearing about this Spring clean, Gerry’s mention of Romans and Ben’s comment about Dwarves, I might just dust off my never touched Roman Dwarves. Can’t remember who made them but they are still in their boxes as far as I know.
Harlequin/Black Tree made them I think though West Wind do a similar range for their Dwarf Wars game
I’ll get an entire show about Burrows & Badgers some day…
That would be good actually
@brennon and @torros – As a fan of Redwall and Mouseguard – I would second this motion.
If enough of you petition this and like it we’ll debate it in the OTT parliament
If you want more historical dwarfs, Microcosm Miniatures do a lovely range of Crusader, Norman and Viking Dwarfs. They might have some more as well!
and conqueror do awesome saxon dorfs
I believe that the cats-flying-fighters show the chaps were talking about is SWAT-Cats. Unlike Samurai Pizza Cats i think that was an American show, unlike SPC which was an anime import…..
excuse me, it’s Samurai Pizza Cats…meaooow
the meaooow is important.
carry on
Dragonlance was a commissioned by TSR/DnD and was written in a very short period of time as was nothing to do with an active game but they all worked for TSR.
If people are interested watch this episode of dragon Talk with Margaret Weis that was recorded as GaryCon.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxa5JjZyJKM
she talked about drgaonlance plus her career in gaming.
Oh I know it isn’t from a game but it sure reads like someone retelling their campaign heh
weirdly if you want a good series based on a D&D campaign, the Riftwar saga by Richard E Feist, was actually a university groups own campaign and world. Richard wasn’t even the GM, it had been running for a while he joined in and then down the line wrote the stories in what they had created.
Didn’t Gary Gygax spend time in the 80s living in LA trying to get a movie made but enjoyed the Hollywood lifestyle a bit too much?
Great video thanks for sharing.
I loved Dragonlance and have all the books and the modules
Mmm… how does one decapitate an Orruk, with a Warhammer? With proper stance and making sure you call FORE! as you swing.
Kharadron Overlords for Underworlds, Yes, Finally!
I believe you are referring to SWAT KATS, let’s kick some tail! Bingo ?
Thanks for the show.
I usually agree with Gerry but on this i have to disagree, The Last Samurai is a great film!!
I pressure cleaned my terrace, the windows, the driveway and everything else that wasn’t fast enough to get away…. don’t get me started on spring cleaning ever again!
53 minutes for a weekender, tut tut not enough entertainment must try harder 😉
Spring clean I will see what I have to get involved, have a great Easter weekend everyone.
Good morning, everyone. Happy weekend!
Love the bouncing dwarf! Channeling a bit of vintage Terry Gilliam there.
@Squirrellord Gerry you can always sent it all to me if you want Rome built.
Happy weekend everyone! Great start to the weekend and also the |Spring as a whole 🙂 Really like the Cats & Catacombs minis and it made me think about what animal based game i would like to see in the future. Then i remembered a game that was on the Playstation one called “Hogs of War” which is pretty much as it sounds, Hog variants of four nations in a WW1 setting. All the character voices were done by the late great Rick Mayall! It was awesome and i think it would translate really well onto the table top. See… Read more »
Ah, Hogs of War. Basically Worms 3D with pigs, but it was great!
Not too shabby 🙂
Hmm, as far as the challenge goes would the new noise Marine count? It’s been gathering dust for a couple of months but all in the box with no paint on, Would I be able to submit a project on that?
Made it before the day turned over,
amazing what a distraction sunshine is to watching videos online
Great the Forge Fathers are coming from Linton.
What the cheese snuff! Insulting the last samurai!!
Jerry I had some respect for you but now you have ripped my heart out and eaten it with tofu!
That film helped me score a 98% in a general studies examine using the conversation about colonel custer
(P.s I still love you)
