News of the World: John is into WWII
I’m hoping he’ll one day be tempted into the world of WWII naval wargaming!
Zeo Genesis has some really cool looking models. Have a fantastic weekend!
Good Evening super awesome peeps from here on a 22*c Sunny south coast UK – o7
Weekender time – oh yup yup – here we go – awesome great content guys
@brennon – Ulrik the Slayer is First Born still, using the plastic mini released alongside the Wulfen event (he released alongside Krom Dragongaze and Logan on his sled if I remember rightly)….
😁🤞🏻
I love it❤️
Swooshy wooshy might be my new favourite thing
Promise me you’ll keep using “swishy wishy” forever.
Vampire Menace looks good
Non UK viewers may want to put on subtitles as Ben goes all Brummie
nah, it wasn’t that bad.
I’ve heard worse accents …
It’s weekender time folk’s 👍😆👍
Are they getting set for the bulge battles ?🤔
Tinker bell on holiday ?🤔
Good show guy’s 👍
Science has proven that weekends just don’t start without the show!
True fact
I find virtually every faction in WWII interesting except the British. Not sure why. They’re the only faction I don’t have an army for of the major combatants
The siren song of 40k seems to be calling to me this week.
Nice video 🙂
The new Space Wolves models look good.
I’m pretty sure I saw mentioned in an official article that the latest upscaled terminators were both primaris and firstborn, pretty much confirming the late trend to blur the distinction between them. It was more apparent with the new scouts, which they strongly avoided to call “primaris scouts” even if they were clearly done in the new scale.
I usually don’t get excited about GW minis (I can’t put my finger on it, but there’s something about their style I find off-putting), but I did quite like those war drakes.
best presenters ever !
You can’t have a WWII British army without a Firefly!
The Winter British box looks great.
RIP that bloody stupid sledge
