Make sure to check out all of this tabletop goodness and have a great weekend of gaming fun.
Stay Safe!
2D flats are fine. Boardgamers, who usually don’t paint, sometimes prefer them, and have been calling for “standees” instead of grey plastic miniatures for years. Standees work fine instead of miniatures when you’re using them as pawns, rather than figures, though.
Welcome back weekenders, have missed the fun
forgedinbattle looks very, very good, need some DAK riflemen and the Ratte looks mahoosive – 125 of the queens pound holy crap! but it looks like a huge block of resin
but wy I am really here, want the spacey marines 😉
More Kroot from GW yes please! But that’s assuming Corvus Bellis doesn’t take all my money in the meantime. Great show.
The 2d armies do look amazing and they are even more tempting considering the massive army you could field with relatively little money and time invested.
Also: weekender’s back! How I missed this… snif!
Happy New Year everyone!
Ben said Gamma Wars, I heard Camel Wars. Now there’s an idea for a game, eh?
Loved having the Weekender and XLBS back. I developed Covid just as the guys went on vacation and I was forced to get through recovery by watching old episodes.
Like the Hedonites, although not as much as Warren, I’ve 3 stalled AoS projects and can’t add another 1.
I absolutely love when we get a bit of history tid-bits, like the Ratte and what not. Personally when I see those WoFun pieces, they remind me of the “Rock of Ages” people and now I just want to 3D print a boulder with a face to run around on a board with them. Great show to kickoff the new year!
Almost never get to see these anymore due to a really busy schedule. This was great to see. Really enjoyed all of the figure reviews. Good to see the Baron’s War and Kensei figures. Hope to see these on a more regular basis.
Thank you for the previews on the weekender.
Welcome back.
had to re watch this, too sleepy to take it in last week
