Fragged Empire? Never heard of that. Going to keep a close eye on tonight’s show.
It’s quite the surprising deep dive – the game properly had me intrigued
Yay Friday weekender time folk’s 👍😆👍
Ooh you have such a hard life that will be why you look so troubled at your young age Gerry 🤔
Good one guy’s 👍
Fragged Empire looks interesting. Have an awesome weekend!
Yeah – I am totally onboard for playing Double Tap at the very least with those cool characters
Oh man I’d need at least two Edisons. One pristine, one covered in dog kronk like that one that Brooklyn – the Borough, not the Beckham nepo brat – told the world what it thought of it.
Why Gerry, drunk for a week during Lent. I’m shocked! 🙃
I need an Imrahil model to lead my mounted Swan knights.
GW did make several plastic kits of mounted models for Lotr like the Swan knights, Easterlings, Morgul knights, ….
Ah there you go then – they did help out to some degree!
Anyone else curious what Firelock Games will do if they ever make a vampire themed game? have they backed themselves in to the corner of calling it “Blood and Blood”?
I’m convinced they put Blood &… in every game so you know how much effort they have put into each product
Typical GW money grabbing doign seperate army books, I hate them, Ill stick with army buider
It’s good that they added something new to fallout
My Empire feels fragged already.
Now there’s a haircut you can set your watch to.
That Spectre Miniatures Edison looks like woud fit right in for Judge Dredd and those other cars look just like the ones from the Last Bond Film and the chase through the woods, and both cars would fit Marvel Crisis Protocol I think.
