Comment To Win! Band Of Brothers Bolt Action Two-Player Starter Set
Make sure to check out all of this tabletop goodness and have a great weekend of gaming fun.
Stay Safe!
The new Bolt Action is exciting. Nice prize this month.
Nothing BA is exciting.
PSC. Private Security Company. Come on Jerry. You need to be watching more modern war movies. The bad guys are always PSC.
I don’t Watch any modern war movies at all it has no interest for me.
But if it stands for that then I Was close with OCP as that was one of their roles 🙂
Wow. What’s With all the Wacky W?
That two player starter set! I’ve been eye balling that box at the store for ever! Such ah cool set. Any way , on with the show!
@phaidknott and @lloyd TAG have a lovely range

3D printing is a whole other hobby if you only have limited time because of work etc.
Love how Justin was so dismissive as he has got 3D printing already under his belt.
Justin with the grey in the beard…does that make you an ALPHA strike grognard?
Zing!
Indeed, 3D printing will be A FUTURE. It’s funny when people who proclaim to be “a prophet” proselytize the dire nature of 3D printing – remember when books were only for the Church? Neither does Luther. Or Gutenberg.
I used to love watching Trapdoor, great looking minis
“We’re looking at mushroom minis this week so we asked Warren to sit this one out”
Really happy to see the transformers arent on 28mm bases. I couldn’t see any indication on size before. Gonna have to pick some up. I’d love to see a game where they get to use both their robot and vehicle forms and do cool stuff like buuild up momentum as a car to punch harder on a “charge”.
Nice 28mm bretonnian 3d miniaturen.

Backed these, not a huge fan of the Infantry but enough alternatives for those.
The chat in this show is the other king of beardy.
Happy weekend all!
Impressed with Krakon Games. Mild regret I’ve just bought a load of Warlord’s mastiffs for Oathmark when I could’ve had badgers with my elf huntmasters. Badgers!
@avernos I think the guy in the coat and axe maybe Jack Nicholson from the Shining. If I remember correctly he outside at one point in the film chasing his wife
Gotta get hold of all those Transformers minis, at least lack of stock in the UK is saving my wallet right now.
I think the axe wielder might be from The Thing.
afternoon all, hope your weekend is warmer than
mine is at the moment
There was something I wanted to comment on, but I can’t remember what, but since Justin is there I’ll just go: MUTUNUS TUTUNUS!!!!
Another Great Weekender Guy’s! I’ve been delving into the Korean Bolt Action lately
I’m glad the Slaanesh design have moved more towards the Persians from 300. I just couldn’t see how the lobster claw creatures were somehow Slaaneshi before.
Always loved the Polish Winged Hussars. Have always wondered if they inspired the Swan Knights of Dol Amroth. In some ways the wars between the Hapsburgs and Ottomans seem to have inspired Tolkien. The ride of the Rohirrim was the Polish king riding to relieve Vienna in 1683 with the Hussars as the basis of his army.
Whoop! nice to see Justin and his lovely beard! Also that starter set looks awesome. Hope I win!
but they don’t have C2 Ram Tanks
I love the new Bolt Action releases! Great show as ever, have a fantastic weekend guys.
BoB
Would love to check out the new Brits and Canadians!
The Canadians are badly represented by the British box.
Wrong tanks, for a start. Warlord is the fantastic purveyor of fictional WW2 rules that are ridiculous and not historical.
The 3 Churchill AVRE are pretty damned cool! Loving the Bridge.
Yay the Weekender (my weekend starts & ends on a Sunday, Band of Brothers would look nice on my shelf 😀
Lol.
