Make sure to check out all of this tabletop goodness and have a great weekend of gaming fun.
Stay Safe!
@warzan Not all of us are french. You get to the Midlands and we’re purebloods. The french never bothered coming this far and the Vikings didn’t head this far south.
We are the last bastian against those foreign bast… the invaders.
Apart from the Normans of course
A fine first weekender of the year.
I haven’t got in to Conquest yet, but the First Blood sets look like a good entry point.
Weekends complete again now you’re back on! Looking forward to Sunday’s CoG’s sesh
Sweet! The Weekender is back!
Nice to have you guy
s back, i cant believe its been a year.What a great start to the new year, a box of blue love up for grabs. The brothers Johnson, a lot more better than a box of blue love. Then we have Ben and Jerry the tasty boys, who go down better than a tub of ice cream. Not herd of forged in battle before, i will be looking at what they have to offer from there WWII range. Six months to wait for the team yankee Warsaw Pact book damn, but they do say that good things come to those who wait. It`s great to have the weekender back, now lets see what we have in store from the XLBS.
Welcome back! Happy New Year!
I didn’t like the cardboard cutouts when we used them in boardgames and such so much that i learned sculpting and kitbashing. I don’t think i’d be going for these 2D minatures and they are definitely not in my future 🙂
Welcome to 2021 guys. I needed the weekender in my life today
Yowza! The Slaaneshi updates are indeed some things to look into now. That rivals the KS from Kensei for what I should drop money on if I weren’t busy on my current project.
Great show lads.
The new Direchasm stuff looks amazing and they just preview the lizard man faction.
I’ll openly profess a love for the Forged in Battle stuff. I regularly use the Maus, backed up by Elefants, E100 and Tigers. We call it the ‘Circus’. Their Ancients and Dark Ages stuff are amazing. War and Empire is their rule set which should be out shortly.
That 2D stuff looks great. Front on for the win.
Welcome Back
Happy new year all. It’s great to have the weekender back, hope you all had a good break over the holidays.
The Slaanesh looks fantastic, it’s not something I play but I’m tempted to get some for a painting project.
Good to see the return of the Weekender!
I love the weekend.
Another great show, and another great prize. Have a great week of gaming everyone.
ah the weekender balance has been restored 😀
My wife after seeing this week’s prize: Do we really need more space marines?
Me: Do we really not need more space marines?
At last the return of the greatest show on the world wide web, the weekender..oh my a battleforce box oh yes please, if any of need a hot oil massage “wink wink”…i will do it to win it honest…..great to have the show back lads.
Welcome back guys, happy new year, let’s hope it’s far better than the last
Those 2D minis look great and I really could see them as an entry point when starting a new game/system. Of course if you playing more than painting you could just buy hordes of them and just save both money and time.
I really do hope GW explore and expand the Slaanesh theme of decadence and excess out beyond and a step or two away from the crutch of S&M sex tropes.
Vanity, opulence and indulgence is just as much a part of the theme and much less cringe to put down on the table. Push on the 300 vibe a bit and give us something interesting!
I have the Ratte. I received it just before Xmas. It’s one hell of a beast of a model. I ordered the later variant. Not like I could ever use it for a proper game of FoW but it could make for a really cool scenario where it could be in some kind of dry docks? For it and the allies have to try and take certain objectives before the end of the game and if they don’t the Ratte starts up and the allies loose as once it gets online there’s nothing they can do to stop it.
Good to have the Weekender back. Those Kensei minis are looking good.
But will they do the battle of castle Itle for Flame of War
