Embracing Undead Life With Gerry
Another of our Boot Camp members has come down with a love of brains! Say hello to Gerry who seems all smiley!
Peter Likes The Taste Of Brains...
With it being lunchtime it seems like one of our Boot Camp members, Peter, has been turned into quite the monstrous walker as he hunts for food...
Johnathan Becomes One Of The Walking Dead
Shambling along we have another member of the Boot Camp who has become one of the infected!
Markus Has A Reaction To The Food!
We had some hot dogs but I think Markus might have had an infected wiener!
Braiiiiiiins….says Rob At The Boot Camp
Rob has been turned into a shambling walker during his time here at the Boot Camp.
The question we want you to answer is who do you think is the source of the contagion?
Add Some Extra Atmosphere to Your Games!
Want a cool way of adding sound to your zombie/walker games?
If so and you have a backstage pass then try out our undead sound generator which is great for adding an extra dimension of immersion.
Volker Gets A Taste Of Being One Of The Undead!
Volker, one of our Boot Camp members, was curious about what it was like as a walker...so he got bit and here are the results!
Oh boy I am jealous of you bootcampers! I have the game but not awesome table to play on!
Those tables are awesome!
Day 2!!! Game onnnnn…. 🙂
This looks so good <3
My new aim in life is to get me and the wife to a Bootcamp (and I will not take responsibility to any tears my wife causes when someone plays against her. I thought I was a good player, but she is unreal!) Have fun guys!
Terrain looks excellent, so many ideas for my own games. Would love to be there.
enjoy your day folks!
Happy day gaming
So glad you guys are blogging this. I missed out on the kick-starter. Can’t wait to get my hands on this game. Love the walking dead and love beasts of war! Have fun today
@ventris83 Glad you’re enjoying the content so far! 😀
Comments win prizes…..
A Boot Camp is exactly what I need. To be able to go somewhere else away from all the distractions to learn and do some serious gaming. This Walking Dead game is one of the best in giving the player the right feeling of anxiety in a zombie apocalypse.
This is one of the few Mantic kickstarters i haven’t pledged for. Never watched the Walking Dead, but the coverage so far has been great. Hope Day 2 is as good as Day 1.
Day 2, ok…. go!
Regret not backing the KS after seeing this bootcamp in action. Oh well, retail it is! 🙂
Looks like a ton of fun!
That feeling you get when you didn’t back a Kickstarter! Looks amazing 🙂
That feeling you get waiting for the mailman to finally show up with your box…
😉
Sssoooooooo glad we backed the Kickstarter.
looks to be great fun
I’m really rather loving the look of this game, another Bootcamp I regret not signing up for
So jealous of all those able to participate, everything looks amazing.
The terrain looks awesome. To quote some lines from Dawn of the dead.
Francine Parker: What are they doing? Why do they come here?
Stephen: Some kind of instinct. Memory of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives.
I have my kickstarter box here before me. I just started a game table with some Bilduings and street tiles. But this is not half as cool as your tables.
Yay Zombies!
Great stuff…
Wonder if they’ll make Merl Dixon, with or without hand and/or zombified?
Wow, so much fun. Attending a boot camp on pretty high on the to do list 🙂
Loving this. Great job guys.
Looks great. Wish I could be there!
I’ll have to follow this in catch up when I get home. Being at work in the miserable weather when I would prefer to be there playing WD, it’s all just too much right now. Much jealously right now.
Looks awesome. Everyone looks like they are having a great time.
anyone else really not like the Zombiefied faces, givin me the heebie jeebies!
While I’m working on some paperwork at home today, I at least have a distraction with the blog, so thanks guys.
Got to say, the walking dead is not a game that appealed to me at first, but it sure looks like a lot of fun on these videos.
Wow, that mall looks great.
Great job guys and thanks for taking the time to keep us at home filled in on the goings on. Its much appreciated.
Nice…
So wish I was there, Kickstarter box received but that terrain would be epic!
Great looking tables
What?! No brains for lunch?
Great game on great terrain. And a grwat time for everyone. That’s what’s Wargaming about.
Wish I could start my own zombie madness with such great terrain. My girlfriend is really into TWD and she would game with me if it only will be zombies! 😀
Taken over the tv today to watch all these as my tablet just isn’t enough! My wife may be annoyed but eventually she’ll be worn down!!
I’ve seen enough! I’ve preordered! I can’t wait to get started!
Im starting to love this game
Really enjoying this guys. There seems to be more energy and enthusiasm with everyone there this bootcamp. Feeling the enjoyment. Good job all.
Very tempted but wish you could have Daryl.
Great job guys! Keep it up!
It’s amazing how even though I’m not at the bootcamp, my whole saturday is wrapped up in this event.
This looks like so much fun. Game on, guys!
This looks amazing where is it hosted?
Beasts of war towers is in Coleraine in Northern ireland
Fun game.
This stuff is truly inspiring. Amazing job guys!
Sat here painting my retail copy of TWD and got to admit I’m jealous of you folks at the boot camp. looks like a hoot n a half.
that looks awesome.
Still have to get my hands on a copy of Walking Dead
Wish I was there, mainly for the paiting.
Looking good. Who needs more zombies and some awesome terrain? Well I do!
Very cool. I was on the fence about this game now… not so much. Enjoyed the series, as usual, fantastic job.
Those tables look amazballs, you guys put so much effort into making these bootcamps special….one day I will make it across to one (I love the themed coffee)
Boot camps look awesome
Great Weekend for The Booties
Definitely looks like a pretty interesting game. Love that shopping mall, though I don’t know where I’d use it. As always another whack of amazing tables to game on.
Really wish I’d backed the ks now 🙁
Have a nice Gaming Day Guy’s enjoy …… lucky you i am just jealous 😉
The 4Ground stuff looks fantastic. I don’t think I’ve seen their shopping mall before.
Awesome event! It looks like it’s a great one with Ronnie and Ben attending it. Great gaming community.
Maybe this event will entice me to look into this game more.
Seriously the Shopping Mall is simply outstanding – I’ve got the 28mm 4Ground Hotel Complex, which is really good – but the Mall is on another level!
It’s official – a BoW Boot Camp is now officially on my bucket list. Great job, and once again, the boot camp tables and attention to detail sell the games (to me, at least) better than any official marketing ever has.
Superb event. A veritable feast of goodies on display. This is what war gamers aspire to.
Oh my god I’m seeing my sweetest dream scenario 3D terrain in that videos, really loved that mall, hopefully I’ll win and get it, really awesome job guys
Need… terrain…
Looks great fun 😀
Player vs player vs walkers sounds a winner.
Day 2 woohoo.
More gaming goodness
Finally home from work, so pot of tea brewing and I am going to catch up on this live blog. Hope folk here had a wonderful Saturday, especially those who got some gaming done!
What a great game. The buildings looks quiet nice and all people had fun.
This game really has some unlimited expansion possibilities. Really loving what I’ve seen.
Looks amazing. Loving the zombie pictures!
Finally time to watch the bootcamp with a pint of the mighty stout
Cant wait for it to launch
Looks like an awesome weekend (with an absolute load of chips) and a brilliant game, I shall make a start on painting some zombies right now!
It looks amazing a lot of hard work and effort put into it hopefully your game runs smoothly and it looks great!
I want those tables! 🙂
I’d love to see a 28mm game and comic shop kit. Selling the Walking Dead game, obviously
Loving this boot camp, first one I’ve really wanted to get to but life got in the way. This certainly looks like its going to be a great game to play over and over again.
Love the Mall but how long did that take to put together??
Must paint brains
right I’ve been at work all afternoon what have I missed, oh right erverything, need to catch up quick before qualifying starts on tele
Regretting not backing this KS, but thankfully the game is now available! 🙂
That first video today made me want to grab a can and get some colour down on my KS set. Looking like a great weekend so far, well done BoW team for putting on an awesome event.
Why are there so many cool looking mini games out there?
Times like these I wish I were living across the channel! Very envious!
Fantastic day, wish I was there. First thing tomorrow start painting up my Kickstarter set.
thats awesome terrain, i would really like to win it
I’m getting some great ideas here. Fantastic work everyone!
amazing stuff guys, i think the mall can use a children`s playground., and a starbucks 😉
Barstucks 😛
This is another boot camp I would love to have attended. A little bit more expensive to do so asI am living on the other side of to pond. I will attend a boot camp one day. Have fun all
DAM IT CARRRRLLL
CORAL
Wow – what a lot of action!! I’ll have to catch up on some of the vids tomorrow!!
the immersion from playing on those tables must be sooo damn cool. all those little furniture and details just keeps blowing my mind!
This is the best Boot camp I’ve seen you guys do! So much coverage on the game and game play. Makes it hard to wait for this fun looking game. Too bad I live halfway across the world, I would love to do something like this here in the States. I really hope something for the game is done at Adepticon.
Really glad I backed this on Kickstarter – about half way through painting my set up ready to get to the table – The wave 2 figures look great as well! Great Job Mantic!
looks like one more huge bucket of fun.
Very cool to see the game expand in such a short time!!!
Great vid guys! … pick me and I’ll pay the shipping!
This looks like a great event. Love the scenery, which the games look pretty epic in scale. 🙂
I like this game, it looks like it is exciting
Best job on the live blogs yet. The fun and energy is just coming off the screen.@dignity you are doing great keeping this energy up.
Argh it hard to follow a live blog when it mostly happens while you are sleeping. time to play catchup
Looks good – models are much nicer than I had expected them to be.
I just had to join the fun and Dead myself!
I couldn’t figure how to add a photo here so I posted it to the FB topic.

Wow, another excellent day. Really love the boards

Great updates, thanks. Still anxiously awaiting my Kickstarter in California.
Not getting in to reading the blog posts until late saturday night I’ve got some catching upp to do!
Go Zombies! 🙂
How much fun is this?! Freakin’ magic! I agree with the others as well, the table is awesome. Did I see a Mini? Have more fun!
The tables look just amazing!!! Loving all the terrain and the game is great! I’d love to attend but it;s a long way from Ottawa Canada.
Nice work
Really interesting article and updates. Really love the work guys
Absolutely grand what you have done!
Managing to catch up on yesterday’s antics. Looks like too much fun is being had
Playing on those tables must be really fun
How many survivors comes in the box?
I can’t even like Negan in this game–d@mn you Kirkman. Long live Glenn and Abraham! Also, boot camp envy.
Coveting those tables, really worth the effort you all put in. Hope everyone there had a blast 🙂
Damn, that looks really awesome! Loving this!
Boot camp looks like an amazing time. Wish I could have gone.
Another amazing Day! Need to make it to a book camp. This one would have been perfect for me….
The game is looking awesome sorry I missed this only Mantic KS I didn’t back 🙁 These Boot camps look awesome to bad I’m all the way in OZ
You all having a great time, im greed, btw no problem this afternono gona Play some big game for Warmachine. Testing again cavalry and 4 heavy jacks. Muhahaha!
Just picking a few videos and watching them, some really good ones, trying to get through it all!
Killing me how awesome this weekend looks, next time guys … next time.
As usual a great display of BoW’s gaming prowess and their capacity to lure us, humble gamers, in the ners of game producers.. My wallet says “Thanks a lot”
A good days gaming. Thank you BOW, Mantic, 4ground and Army Painter.
Thats one gigantic bowl of chips!!
Looks like a lot of fun being had
Tables are looking fantastic great job guys

Enjoying the blog, and watching that cliffhanger at the end.
Hope you guys are having a good time 🙂
I have to get to a bootcamp one day. Just too much fun.
Would it be possible to make the vids able to play directly from this page? It works with the zombifications, but not with the other videos.
looks a great time was had by all.
…..Absolutely and Totally Fun So Far!!!!
the return form the midseason break
must save up some money for a boot camp. It looks so fun
I love Walking Dead!

So much zaniness and fun! And great looking boards. Taht is what I wish we had at the gaming room….a full board of terrain. (Mine is all fantasy and sci-fi). Need to make some “Midwest Modern” now…
This is going to take a long time to comment on every post 😉
Awesome game, very jealous but great to watch.
So when is bootcamp coming to America? Or how do I sign up for one and make a vacation out of it?
Nice zombies!
I have always been impressed with the quality of Mantic’s games. Just wish I lived closer to join in on a bootcamp.
This bootcamp is great!
I am jealous of you bootcampers! Such a beautiful tables you can play on

Very good games!
