Happy Sunday Backstagers, CoGs and OTTers!
If I had to guess what would happen this year it would be a new Horus Heresy starter set and a Horus Heresy era Kill Team. When Gw are done with refreshing AoS legacy/Old World minis they will release the legacy armies into Old World. I can also imagine ‘War Cry – Mordheim’ or War Cry set under the cities of Sigmar.
Space king or the Templars taking on the Furries?
If you remove the box from that cover image it looks like Ben is boasting.
Or that he is mildly concerned while in the doctors office

Happy Sunday. Thanks for the golden button. It is a very long project. It will never end. But it hasn’t had a button before so cheers
Happy Sunday COGz an OTTers of 2025 let the lunacy begin👍🤷
What was releasing his artistic spirits ?🤔👍
🤦🙆 Shay 🤷
John is ready with a tank/survival vehicle for the holocaust when/does arrive ?💂
Was the tank stuck to sundancers botwat figures ? John?🤔
For some reason when I download the podcast it comes up with the ominous phrase Forbidden….
? Genesis is Forbidden ?
There’s me thinking only fruit was forbidden.
Only in some airports ?😀
Cadia may be remade in the warp like the dark angles planet was 🤔😯
I can’t believe it’s Sunday! 00:00 looking at the thumbnail I guess I know how edited this XD 01:00 Throwing 50 shades at Shay 02:00 PRAISE SPACE KING! 03:30 Metal tonk! 10:30 pigmats needed XD 11:45 “Listen here…” 12:50 “a significant amount” – that ‘number’ scares me 15:30 Hold up! @johnlyons , you have an OG crystal shell GameBoy? oO 18:00 TWELVE HOURS?! Two-piece faces? Why?! 20:00 Theoden – in his prime or as on the throne? 😉 24:00 I’m not sure I’d put any of G’Wullus games into “pocket money friendly” territory these days. Especially when only going with… Read more »
I actually bought that gameboy not long ago as I had one when i was a kid and wanted that nostalgia hit. I got it, took it apart, cleaned all the PCB’s and connections and it works like a charm!
Noice!
Perhaps you could get a new page on discord for the gold button winners guy’s
Congratulations to all the gold button winners 🏅👍
Fantastic show guy’s 👏 👌
Happy Sunday.
I’m pretty excited for the Gundam game, or at least the miniatures. There’s also a card game coming out which I may be interested in. I think I heard that the miniatures packs will include the cards as well.
Happy first Sunday of 2025..well lads new reward category for the end of year rewards show Justin came up with……”TOP GOLDEN BUTTON WINNER OF THE YEAR”.
Happy new year and welcome back, folks. I always prefer my Sundays to start with an XLBS!
Welcome to MCP, Ben. Almost one year ago exactly, I had the same experience with the core set. The minis really are fun to build (most of them) and paint. I have even enjoyed playing the game. Love your progress!
What about Halo ? It kind of sucks that there’s no videogame announced that could boost the tabletop game, but it would be useful if that happened. WW 2 is definitely going big. Warlord has timed the releases of their ‘Armies of ..’ books almost perfect with Germans and Americans hitting the shelves first. If GW are going big in media releases … they’d be stupid if they didn’t find a way to tie some kind of game release to it. Bringing back Inquisitor, maybe? Given that it is the subject of the tv-series that Caville is talking about. Or… Read more »
Thanks chaps, nice way to start the year and has got me energised to get back into painting after the Christmas lull. To confirm that was a red wine, not alcoholic paint water 😁
Happy New Year, funny how rather than talking about the butterfly effect flitting from project to project, actually trying to say its a year off something, for me its going to be a Year of the Bug either Bug Eyes or critters with more legs than nature should have ever given them!.
Seeing a Mordheim style of game could be fun. Guards of Traitors toll could be that. I’d also like someone to do a 10mm mass battle Star Wars game. You could see those ATATs on the table in a reasonable price and scale.
I hope 2025 sees the rise of indie and indie-adjacent games games, such as Star Schlock, Rogue Warrior, Moonstone, Relic Blade, Brutality and any of the multitude of Joe McCullough’s creations. There is more creativity and innovation in each of these games than in the entire GW catalog. I also have great hopes in MCP ‘Cosmic’ year, although I am chagrined not to see the Fantastic Four being announced…
Hello there!
There’s already a Dune wargame available. It’s called Haqqislam for Infinity 😀
We even have a new Dune-esque planet now with somewhat toxic atmosphere etc. Shinju.
Just kidding…
Bye now.
