Finally, the Weekender is here! Let the mayhem begin……
As far as the prize goes, my wife thinks that the blanket is the better prize. She suggests winning it and then transforming it into a tabletop terrain mat of some sort!
That Privateer Press Art Book looks pretty cool. I need to get that since they canceled the No Quarter Prime magazine.
I don’t know about anybody else but I am ordering the Imperial tanks for my troops in Star Wars: Legion. I may need two or three of those.
Happy Weekend!!!
WOOO!!! I’m all in for the yellow blanket!!!! 😀 😀 😀
Legolas’ face looks like I sculpted it! 0_o
If the blanket turns out to be too stiff to fold, just have @warzan section it up with the angle grinder. It’d be good practice for him. 😀
Happy weekend one and all.
happy weekend big man, I hope you’re keeping well.
Trying to. 🙂
I never thought I would say this, but……. (insert the voice of DOOM!)
“Give me Dignity’s Yellow Blankie…….”
“I will trade 5 pack of Anzac Bikkies!! I may be willing to be negoiated up to 6 or 7, maybe”
Wonderful show as always guys.
Sorry Justin , but that blanket is mine. I demand that or your position as Official OTT/BoW Anzac Bikkie Distributor, may well be in jeopardy, minion!
Besides, I’d just give Sam the LotR mini’s anyways…..(motivation for you Sam)
They shall be mine!
Oh my gosh that prize! Call me a Sam but if I see LOTR I come running.
… that is the greatest compliment anyone’s ever paid me.
I’ll take the blanket if it is washed!
Though the miniatures wrapped in it would be great!
Good Morning, Good Morning – LOTR prize be super awesomeness 🙂 the weekender is here
I haven’t played the original conspiracy wars but I have played the real life version as I’ve chased Hermes found the countryside trying to find which random house they’ve delivered the parcel I was expecting to
almost a blend of both.
Who wants lord of the Rings stuff when I can have a Yellow Blanket.
Happy Weekend guys, my favourite moment from this show has to be from @lloyd at 50:44 he paused in the realisation that he may have been fingering the wrong people.
I could never take away poor Justin’s blanket, so I would go for the miniatures.
It’s the Weekend!!
A weekend to start laying down some paint on my newly assembled mid-war British Desert force for FoW4. First hobby I’ve done for months and who knows… I may even start a project on this site!
No prize please (what??) as I don’t want to catch anything else or add to my plastic backlog.
** Update – son says he’d quite like the LOTR minis (to add to his smaller plastic backlog) ***
SKY NEWS reports that young(ish) man had been found wandering colraine mumbling “blankie “ GONE……sources in the area say that he was assaulted by two OLD gits who have offer strangers the youths yellow comforter for a small subscription . This could be considered OTT google OTT and find out……buy merch!
Yellow blanket please, I have some Tallarn who could do with an outing, and as their old adage goes, “There is nothing in Middle Earth, and no man needs nothing.”
The chance to win either LotR hunters or Justin’s stinky old yellow blanket….hmmm..tough choice…but I think I’ll give the smelly old yellow rag a miss…lol
How many times can you say Alexa in a show?! Ours hasn’t got a clue what you’re asking!! 🙂
I’d never separate Justin from his precious. Much prefer the LOTR minis.
Has anybody asked their Alexa for a game of Global Thermonuclear War yet?
That’s a nice blanket you’ve got there Justin, a shame if someone were to make it disappear.
Happy weekend!
“Drive-by Jedi” HA! I laughed far too much at that.
Waiting with patent excitement for March and my Core Space pledge, would like to say more of, well…everything! but more specifically more aliens races.
Was also thinking that the 2nd Dynasty Spaceships look like they’d be a good fit for Core Space, but I don’t currently own a 3D Printer, and I’m tapped out for Kickstarter for the moment, if I were a Backer, would love to see either War Rocket Ajax from the old Flash Gordon Movie or United Planets Cruiser C57D from Forbidden Planet.
I didn’t see the pints either… but I’m not Irish, so I’m good?
@avernos what card from the AT-ST are you referring to?
Ben! Fallout the boardgame came out 2017, that’s the year *before* last year!
Back to the studio
True enough. Forgot which Essen SPIEL I saw it at
“Don’t sleep on yellow blankets”… is that the same kind of advice like “don’t eat yellow snow”?
I want that prize.
If the yellow blanket is that important can I hold it to ransom for more LotR minis?
I know people like them but I dont understand buying art books. I’d look through it once, put it on a shelf and never touch it again.
I think I’ll pass on the yellow blanket, at least until I have my cloning machine up and running and I’m ready for my army of Justin slaves. I’d like the models please if I’m lucky enough to win.
Not a difficult choice really…
Three plastic figures to assemble and paint for a game I own…
Or a hideous yellow blanket that may be infested with parasitic lifeforms and bodily fluids excreted by the former owner…
I’ll take the Lord of Rings stuff please.
What makes you think the miniatures aren’t infested :O
Plastic is easier to delouse.
I’d love to get a new blanket, especially if it came in yellow and was not “transformed” by Justin’s ownership!
