The Walking Dead Boot Camp – Friday
Welcome to The Walking Dead Boot Camp! We're kicking things off as the Boot Campers get settled in to try and survive the zombie apocalypse.
Comment To Win Awesome Goodies This Weekend!
We're here with Mantic Games' own Ronnie Renton as well as the guys from 4Ground who will be showing off some of their excellent terrain.
The hobbying will also be supported with the aid of Army Painter!
Special Thanks To
Mantic Games - 4Ground - The Army Painter
Follow along throughout the weekend for all the Walking Dead goodness!
Join Caleb In His Love For Brains!
Getting into the spirit of things it appears as if Caleb is ready to chomp on some brains. With a whole weekend of great food on the horizon maybe some delicious grub will sait his need for brains!
Andrew Becomes One With The Walkers!
It's fun making sure that we get to infect all of our Boot Campers. With that in mind here's Andrew who has become a shambling fiend out for braaaains!
Zombified! Ronnie Escapes From Containment
We're having a bit of fun but it seems like Ronnie may have taken things a little too seriously and got himself infected!
Tune in to see who else gets caught by the walkers and turned into the living dead throughout the weekend!
Its a bitter pill for me to swallow……it was this bootcamp or a new dishwasher……unfortunately the new dishwasher won (well technically the Wife won).
As if that wasn’t bad enough, the new dishwasher was delivered this afternoon and I will be going home after work shortly to install it.
Oh fate. Cruel fate. Why do you mock me so…………you b@@@@@d!
Happy wife = happy life
I understand ……sob…….. I UNDERSTAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s harsh. For me it was a holiday got in the way of the boot camp and who knows what blocked the Kickstarter.
Real life eh? 🙂
I can relate dude! The bootcamp started on my missus’s birthday – I did broach the subject of celebrating early but quickly realised the error of my ways! 😉
P.s. – Have a great time y’all!!!
Would love to be there. Looks awesome. Thoose tables look ace. Want a table like that at home ^^
I’d rather have a room withlike that filled with tables at home …
Have a great weekend!
Holy cow that mall is huge!
I still want to win it all! And the tables are always awesome. If I win I will massage Warren s feet!
Soooooooo jealous! Things are looking great over there. I wish airfare had been less than $1200. I will make it to a Boot Camp one of these days!
Great tables again. Really like all the cars and debris that got the dirt and grime treatment.
I went all in on the Walking Dead Kickstarter and am looking forward to seeing it played with that certain Beasts of War flair.
Oh my gosh my vicarious bootcamp experience is here! I’m there in spirit, guys!
Should’ve backed the KS
You can still run a late pledge on their Kickstarter if you like.
Awesome, so going to watch this while on my own at work tomorrow
The how to play video is really helpful.
Great looking boards and fun time playing, have to attend a bootcamp someday!
Wish I was there the tables are great. Only thing that is missing may be the soundtrack to the original Dawn of the Dead playing in the background.

Great start to the weekend, looking forward to seeing the shenanigans develop!
Has civilization broken down in the room yet? At some point the players should be looking out for their own well being over the fate of other humans!
….. Have a great time Guys!!!!!
Feel odd watching a boot camp from this side
@rasmus :c
looks great wish I could be there 😉
Some many games, not enough time
If I actually won that shopping mall I may need to consider moving to a bigger house.
@ugleb move into the Mall.
Great looking stuff. I love the set designs. Great job to all.
Gutted, I would of loved to attend this but with my life at the moment and 4 kids it was not going to happen… i think someone else has already said it happy wife = happy life. My walking dead kickstarter came through last week so will be very interested to hear how everyone gets on with it this weekend.
Have a great time all and maybe I will make it to one next year.
Martin
That beasty boy in the vest and purple shirt across the table from Dawn really needs a haircut.
Should be a great boot camp
Wish I cold have got there
Boot Camp weekend! Always so exciting! Great to see the lucky and dedicated Beasts of War members getting to try out awesome games, on super amazing tables, AND hang out with the Beasts of War crew… totally awesome. 😀
…AND hang out with Ronnie! I mean…Ronnie! Best. Day(s). Ever. For sure. 😉
My friends love zombie based games.
Oops posted in the wrong place, but….
I am seriously jealous that I am not there. All I’ve wanted to do is play a big game of WD on a lush scenic table since I got my Kickstarter version (Negates need for prize as someone who doesn’t have should totally have it as its a great game). Kind of wish you guys were live streaming as it would be great to have on in the background, especially as I’ve sat down this evening to paint some of my models from the box. Just applied a wash to zombie Ronnie 😀
Also great WD community on Facebook, seen some lovely shots today of peoples tables. Heres the link for those who might want to join – https://www.facebook.com/groups/116958002015292/
I really hope you guys all enjoy yourselves this weekend guys. give Commodore Rob a boot kicking for me (on the table obviously)
This was the boot camp I really wanted to attend…oh well maybe next time
I am looking forward to following this.
Looks like loads of fun, can’t wait to see more of that mall.
I hope you guys have a blast. I wish there was something like this in the states. I have said tha before. Damn, I wish I had the money to fly over.
Walking dead was the only mantic KS that i haven’t got on in many years. Lost my job when it was happening. Oh well, life happens.
Enjoy your walker bashing.
Still havnt had a game of my kickstarter copy, think I’ll have to change that tomorrow
Epic TV series, Epic Kickstarter an an Epic Bootcamp. Great job yet again BOW team. That shopping mall looks incredible! Very jealous of you all ..
Looks like a great fun day! I love Walking Dead as a Comic and TV show. Great to see it flourish! Thanks Mantic for bringing it to life
Aww man wish I could have been there. I would have had worn a hat and everything
So so so so jealous right now. Was gutted I couldn’t make it to the boot camp this year. Maybe next year…hope guys have a great weekend and enjoy the new box smells…haha
I’ve been looking forward to this all week. I will be getting my box out tomorrow and teaching my mate how to play
Have a great time guys, now to settle in to watch and hobby 🙂
Caption as Eugiene “well then you have to milk the walker”
Have a great weekend guys, the boards look amazing and so does the game. I missed out on the Kickstarter so am very envious of all the bootcampers with their shiny new boxes!!!
Caption for the picture: “Equip RoShamBo; In the middle of a Zombie Apocalypse, it’s the sensible alternative to Strip Poker.”
Long day at work.. just got back..wife’s got a mate round and currently showing her our wedding photos so I’ve just snuck off to the bedroom to watch the live blog..SHHH DON’T TELL HER I’M IN HERE 😉
CAPTION: “I learned this technique back when I had to fight this enormous Lion…”
Lol.
Wow, a lot of stuff going on here! Glad you show it all on videos for all to see 🙂
Woot woot. Really looking forward to following this this weekend.
Looks like a great time was had by all! The terrain is amazingly detailed. Would have loved to have been there to get a better look.
I really wanted to come along to this one, the boot camps always seem so much fun and the game looks great. Darn you guys.
Really looking forward to following this boot camp guys
Oh yes….the mall will be mine!
Well, one way or the other…
Lucky bastards over there having the undead time of their lives!
Wish I could hav been there for this, making do with a Walking Deddad marathon instead!
The tables are looking awesome, what a fun weekend its going to be!
Look like a blast! i wonder can zombies over run one table and move to another table? that would be a cool “horde mechanic” where they can basically building up there numbers as they move form table to table.
It’s all looking amazing – getting some great ideas for projects to really show off my Kickstarter box and all the extra goodies coming in wave 2.
NEGAN for president!
Funnily enough we have just had a chance to watch the first few episodes of his season and ….wow…plain…wow… B.R.Utal…
Just got in from work, time to hunker Down and consume this boot camp!
Boot Camp looks like fun. I can’t wait to get my late purchase copy of All Out War!
I was hoping to hear Warren speaking in a southern US accent. Tomorrow maybe?
Have agreat weekend, drink a pint for me.
Have fun all. Tables look awesome, I’m so jealous.
My bucket list now includes attending a bootcamp. (Gonna be expensive all the way from Oz but I’m definitely down for it one day.)
looks like a great weekend for every one.
looks to be another awesome boot camp guys, once again i am saddened that im not in the UK!
Ho you lucky guy i wish so mutch that i could be there
so generous to have giveaways on your channel. and it’s mantic games stuff to boot. thanks.
Really wish I could have gone, looks like tons of fun and it’s only day 1.
This is the *Zombie* Apocalypse game I’ve been waiting for. P vs P vs Wlakers is brilliant awesomeness!
Blaster was here… & is following along like my life depends on it!
that Mall looks so nice, would be so cool to play a zombie game on
If only I didn’t live in perth Western Australia looks like so much fun
I don’t think I have looked forward to following a boot camp as much as this one. I am chewing my nails waiting for our kickstarter goodies to arrive down under. Enjoy the weekend guys, you are being watched closely from the other side of the world
Damn that terrain, and the mall, wow
So glad that I backed this Kickstarter!! Great boot camp!!
Tables look amazing, as usual. Is there a prison?
My god! that mall is massive! I cannot wait to see what 4ground and Mantic come up with next!!
Walkers!
Those boards look amazing. I love the mall!
Holy Crap, that 4ground Mall is absolutely awesome!
So envious of whomever snaffles that bad boy.
I love all the little details on the terrain
The first day is already finished, I’ll be playing catchup when I get home!
Looking good so far, interested in seeing the development tomorrow….. Carry on gentlemen, Carry on
Being of Irish descent, any chance I could get dual citizenship and game….err….I mean live over there with you guys half the year. This is really a fantastic/depressing thing to watch all you fellas having these awesome bootcamps and no way to participate….Arrrrgggghhh!
Keep up the great work. You are an inspiration to gamers and hobbyist around the world.
Your jealously,
A 40 years of gaming grandpa.
I become more and more envious of these every time I see them. Damn, I wish there wasn’t that pesky Atlantic Ocean in the way.
I know how you feel – I have the Pacific, Atlantic, and either of the largest continents to contend with – quite literally at the other end of the world. Thank god for the internet hey? 🙂
truly, these are so much fun to watch.
Great boot camp, have fun guys!
I cant believe there were openings for this boot camp for any amount of time. Looks like this event will be amazing! And the game looks pretty good fun as well.
This is my kind of game. Love the comic, love the show, love BoW
It’s gonna be great I can imagine I will try to keep up
Not sure how to get involved in this, but I am going to be paying a lot more attention moving forward.
This looks awesome, would have loved to be there.
Looks like a good time.
Remember Warren, friends don’t let friends eat their brains!
It seems really really funny. Too bad I can’t be there
Had first game of kick starter last week awesome game and a big thanks to BarryWebster at tunbridge well wargaming club for being my opponent.
Gotta say the tables look absolutely amazing. Well done guys!
I backed this and I’m more than happy with the Minis and the Gameplay!
Good Job Mantic!
which dimensions has the mall?
Let the fun begin
looks great.
can’t wait to see the rest.
Dat terrain tho. Crikey
wish i had gone ! the Walking dead game is amazing ! i am so glad i was on the kickstarter !
Nothing short of gutted that I couldn’t be there. Looks like the most fun to be had with clothes on.
Cant wait to try this game at the open day.
If only I hadn’t gone to Japan 😉 fight the good fight team! Itching for the KS to arrive 😀
The game seems fun, the event looked awesome 🙂
Ok, kids in bed, wife’s out with friends, whiskey is poured, time to catch up on all this walking dead goodness. 🙂
enjoy the weekend everyone! the tables look amazing, the mall is a monster 4ground did an amazing job again!
Looks great, would love to get in on that!
Wish I had been able to come to this one…. looks so much fun.
Warren looks slightly disturbing with all that hair… a little feminine
The terrain looks nice. Good job.
Love the terrain setup, I remember seeing the preview video, and love how it was all setup like parts of the TV show.
“Is that awesome sauce exploding from the smashed skulls of walkers?” My copy is in the mail peeps. Can’t wait to run it. Have a great weekend friends 🙂
Good luck, wish I was there
Those tables look brilliant.
I am loving the coverage guys, gutted I couldn’t get over. But still feeling part of the community.
Keep it coming guys .
Looks like a hell of a weekend!!! A shame i can not join you over there!!!
Just got my Kickstarter, looking forward to getting this on the table!
I wish I could be there…
Excellent themed scenery to go with a great game. Enjoy the weekend.
I pledged this KS and am so excited for this bootcamp
I need the mall ,we need supplies and we a’int stopping for nothing, in an out quietly
Very unlikely
Great setup Guys
Just got my Kickstarter box, and would love that mall.
Wish I pledged for the kickstarter, looks like lots of fun.
Great weekend! Great game and great tables again! 🙂
Looks like everyone is enjoying themselves. Might have to pick this up.
What kind of camp doesn’t have zombies?
Amazing prize. Fingers crossed.
Sci-Fi terrain looks really awesome, no matter how its designed, but I feel its the post-apocalyptic terrain that has the most character.
Awesome. Pity I missed it.
This is awesome!
Nice!
Enjoy all, seems odd to be straight into the gaming.
Looked like it was a complete blast! Too bad I’d have to cross an ocean to get there! Do walkers float across the sea?
Well looks like you’ve sold me on another game system! This looks like really good fun, the terrain really does finish it off for me though. Can’t wait to get involved with this, really wish I’d managed to get this weekend off to make the boot camp.
Have an amazing weekend guys!!
That mall looks great.
It’s great to see everyone having such an amazing fun time, wish I could have been there to see it all first-hand. Anyway, I am definitely going to have to look into getting The Walking Dead game. 🙂
That table is awesome, i need to step up my terrain.
I never wanted to watch The Walking dead series until a friend of mine forced me to watch the first few episodes. I was hooked, really awesome series, I can’t wait to see how the game plays out now and if it is anything like the series I will have to this to my collection.
Looks great can’t wait to get back into my games room!! 🙂
Warren in that wig is probably the highlight of my BoW year – We need a category in the awards!
I was so close to booking this Bootcamp and even had wifely permission…..and then a pipe burst and practically destroyed our breakfast room.
Next time maybe
I love the show but really didn’t care much for the game. But after seeing those amazing tables i sure want to give it a go, they look amazing!
Awesome stuff!!! How am i going to find time for all these great games coming out
Looks like a great setup- and now I need to find out more about the game.
/always room for one more…
brraaaiiiinnnzzzzzzz!!!
yeah more prices to win
The terrain is just mind blowing…
One day I really hope to have the funds and time to travel over the pond for a BoW Boot Camp. They look like so much fun!
What a fantastic event- I wish I could have been there!
Yeah, great bootcamp, would love to be there!!
Incredibly jealous!
I didn’t even know this game existed! looks awesome. Thanks for everything you do BoW
I really like the terrain. An article on how they did the details mentioned in “The Devil’s in the Details” would be nice.
Love these bootcamps! Wanna do a postapocalyptic survivior game meself!
Hope to one day be able to join you guys on a boot camp. Enjoy lads!
Great bootcamp. Looks great. When are you doing a Halo Ground Command bootcamp?
just finished watching yesterday`s blog, now of to catch with today`s and see what mayhem has been wrought.
I’ll really love to see in the mall a store of boardgames and comics, cause obviously Calr would be so excited if his Dad get one of those for him ;). Really hoping to win that mall! BoW you guys are awesome!!!
Looks like a great time.
great bootcamp again,
It’s gonna be great I’m gonna tune in whenever I can
Really glad to hear about all the long term support for the game.. looks like a lot of fun.. I’d sort of written it off as “one too many zombie games” but now I’m thinking a starter set might be a good idea!!! Dang BOW & Mr. Renton!
1000 comments! 🙂
This was awesome. thanks for posting this stuff. always been a fan of manticès stuff, and as soon as money is an option, I totally intend on picking up the kickstarter edition of the starter. good work once again Mantic, showing you can not only keep up with the big boys, but can best them. a suggestion? make a Mordheim type skirmish game for your kings of war line. i would play that, and nothing else for the rest of time. ooooooh yeaaaaaaah
I am so jealous of all the guys at the boot camp. It looks like great fun. Maybe someday 🙁
Definitely on my bucket list to do a bootcamp
Maybe i need a new miniatures game lol
Have a great weekend everybody!
Looks amazing! The tables looked fantastic guys, well done!
Pick me.
yes i new it would be a good game, and at least glad im watching yous have fun.
Still amazed by the mall, thing is awesome
So much drop dead awesomeness!!
Seems like a blast!
It would be incredible to win a table like those…so I didn’t have to make one myself. 🙂
Awesome start to the weekend. Can’t wait to see the next couple days.
Looking great guys!
Seems like a lot of fun, to bad is that far away.
Great table set up’s, I’ve really got to get to one of your boot camps
Awesome! This bootcamp sounds like great fun!
My copy of All Out War should be arriving any day now!
Looks fantastic! Can’t wait to play!!
Wish I was there! Great looking terrain….and great atsmophere!
Really need to convince my wife we need a trip to BoW HQ. Any nice spa hotels nearby where I can deposit her during the next boot camp…?
Looking really cool!
Looks like a really cool boot camp! I hope I can join one some day!
I’m sad to have missed out on this bootcamp! I’ll make it to you guys at some stage!
Think I would be safe with all the brain eating going on, more of a light snack or a nibble, I would get away Scott free. Wish I had been there looks awesome guys.
Looking like everyone has some great stuff another great boot camp
I thought I had commented, but may have done it in the wrong place! Must be the Zombie flu eating my brains. Looks like a fantastic weekend, also reminded me I need to order some more 4ground scenery. The malll looked amazing.
Still waiting for my kickstarter to arrive and this boot camp is making me more hungry for Brrrainss.
Seems like a great event!
looks like a great start to the bootcamp
These boots camps always look great. Hopefully I can make one that some point. Sadly there is an ocean in the way.
Looks like great fun!
i want an event like this in my country.
Just catching up on all the Walking Deal Bootcamp coverage – looks like you
will have a great time surviving the Zombie Apocalypse!
I did not take part in the All out war Kickstarter so am very interested see the
models and gameplay. Hope the damaged vehicles will be available in retail.
Also, hope we get to see some previews of other 4Ground buildings in the Twin
Peaks Mall range. How about Midwinter Hospital? The Great Northern Hotel?
The Packard Saw Mill? The Double R Diner? Sheriffs Department?
Will you be using the Army Painter Zombicide Paint Set range of colours?
Looks pretty awesome!
Ahhhh, zombies in malls, a classic.
Mantic is cool!
Amazing!
Such great stuff!
I really like the finished version of the Mall. Very cool seeing all the stores kited out with terrain.
Aw man, am I kicking myself for missing this! Those tables look really great, with a nice terrain density, and the game looks super flavourful.
Looks like a happy camp of gamers!
finally got my pledge in the mail!
The terrain is a beauty!
Really looking forward to getting this I missed the kick starter but have been a fan of the comic book for years, love the shopping mall it makes a great board will have to add it to the long list of terrain that I would like to eventually get
Well guys this boot camp is awesome. Hope to be there one day.
Walking Dead is great!
