(As you were first DC!)
No politics this week. Or video apparently.
Probably.
Possibly.
Maybe?
Happy Weekend!!!
Ah ha! No vid appears on this post… switching to You Tube!
Er video ??? please *sniffles like the pathetic wretch that he is* I don’t like that “youse toob” I want to stay here were people are snuggly and have a slightly musky smell
It’s the Weekend!!
Currently without the Weekender. I noted problems with the site yesterday afternoon/evening.

@warzan re your concerns over YouTube algorithms… They’re happy to pepper your video with ads for “World of WARships” !?!
So interestingly in both the studio discussion and the original post, no-one is overly exercised by Severina’s foot-on-rock pose!
It’s cleverly not a rock but a chunk of metal
I’m waiting for foot on reinforced concrete for the best of both worlds
And metal came from ore…so foot on processed rock.
Unless ‘Into the Dead’ has some mind-blowing, innovative game-play to hook me then I’m afraid it’s “Zzzzzzzzzz-zombies… meh… zzzzzzzz!”
Happy Saturday/Weekend! Really like those Frostgrave Wizards. Will be great to see what people do with them.
sorry about that folks video is in now
hoping we have fixed the 500 errors too!
#roughnight
Hopefully you woke up feeling #hardToday
LOL

Beasts for War is getting weird!. Mary Whitehouse stares down with her disapproving state. We have Warren ‘Barry Took’ Johnson presenting Points of View. Will see the return of Its a Knockout with Gerry doing his best Eddie Waring impression as members of the team and guests get dressed in big foam suits and try to build and paint miniatures while having water and foam fired at them. Maybe Lloyd could restart Jackanory and read excerpts from various rulesets for 5 minutes each day Anyway I’m going to start organising food. Chicken in a basket followed by Angel Delight I… Read more »
lol
enjoy the retro mate 😉
i love the idea of the jackanory, but isn’t that covered with john and warzans little of topic rambles in the unboxings and weekender? ( i’m not old enough to remember it exactly sorry:) )
The designer of the Commissar popped into the museum I work in in Nottingham to have a look at our old costume trench coats. He was very secretive about what he was designing but I guessed it was something Guard related. He sent me an image when it was announced thanking me for the costume help which was nice.
fantastic story mate! brilliant lol 🙂
Cool side story. A little brush with history in the gaming world
Love those wwx posses great sculpts!
Happy Weekend!
@warzan great show but just out of curiosity what happened to points of view this week…. I was really looking forwaard to that one I can tell you ??
lol
theres a story to tell on that next week 😉
Lol I bet there is….
There goes another 30 mins of our lives watching PoV we’re never getting back!
Pretty sure female Commissars pre-date the more male-centric organisation of the Militarum Tempestus and Commissariat. Hell, Dan Abnett had a female Commissar-General in one of the early Gaunt’s Ghosts books, and one of the Tanith’s burgeoning corps of Commissars is a woman. There are even a number of female Tempestus Scions who turn up. I think the Ciaphas Cain books (specifically the one set during his retirement) specified that whilst the teachers at the Schola’s that orphaned children of Imperial officials are sent to tend to be drawn from Commissars, Adeptus Soritas and other the like, and are grouped into… Read more »
Female commissars may well predate the Militarum Tempestus in fiction, but a) The Militarum Tempestus are the re-imaging of old Imperial Guard Stormtroopers so pretty much everything is older than them as they were only re-imagined into existence in 2014 and b) I wouldn’t know because I don’t read game fiction (I’m such an elitist snob). However, they really don’t pre-date the Schola Progenium and Commissar Training Squads as detailed in issue 115 of White Dwarf (July ’89) by Nigel Stillman and Sean Masterson. However I suspect it is the first Sisters of Battle codex that Sturmbannführer Gerry is recollecting… Read more »
In ‘Cains Last Stand’ one of the Commissar cadets in the class he was teaching was female.
I asked on the Warhammer community fb page, the Commissar model will be available online, just as last years Eisenhorn model is still available.
Already several copes availabble on fleaBay… allegedly! Some already pro-painted!!
It is def available online, i just pre-ordered mine from the GW website. Also Eisenhorn is available as well (at least on the UK store).
Batman knight models set came out when they started to multicast plastics (Batman / Gordon GCSP / Suicide Squad)

I visited the local (Dunedin, New Zealand) Warhammer store near closing today (Saturday) and they had about 5 copies of Commissar Severina Raine left, though they are selling for NZ$65 – so halve that and you get a rough price in pounds.
I had a look at a friend’s copy and it’s very nice, a lot better than the old finecast used to.
If I didn’t have a mound of plastic shame awaiting me, I might cave in to the temptation…There is still hope that I won’t cave….Not a lot, but some.
I will certainly add Severina Raine to my Guard Kill Team ? I find the sculpt really exceptional and for the first time in a long while I ordered a GW figure the day of its release. I’m tempted by Into The Dead although I actually must have lived under a rock as I wasn’t aware of the mobile game but thanks to @warzan I got now second thoughts as I’d mainly be getting it for the minis.. doh! I’m looking forward to seeing the show tomorrow and it’s great to to hear moderns will be getting some love ?… Read more »
Great show lads and ladies, really enjoyed it. Some points: The three GW games are, like last years boardgame release at the same show, are only available in large US retail stores, think of them as GW’s version of “Snag a Normie”. I like the new Commissar … I hope she is more broardly released later (if for no other reason I want last year’s model Inquisitor Eisenhorn, really badly) Frostgrave and their excellent plastic kits (they seriously don’t have one dud) have been tempting me for some time … this might just be the kit that pushes me over… Read more »
Happy weekend! Lovely to see Dawn and Gianna on the weekender!
Good to hear that “historicals” are making a comeback at Adepticon. I know Historicon is the big show for the historical side of things, but there’s been almost no showing at Adepticon in recent years.
the models from the hour of the wolf box look so good in that paint scheme!
Yea, yea, WWE is great, DW is great, but I want Firestorm Armada back!
Wizards sleeve, how did you sneek that one past Mary?
I second the vote on ICE CREAM!!! @brennon & @avernos doesn’t sound that appetizing though…
