Happy to see blood and valour expand into the eastern front. Hopefully we will be seeing Austrians on the horizon and few more Serbs or Bulgarians in the works from Eureka as well.
It would be great to see more of that, building on the options for wargamers looking to learn more about WWI
Or the Balkan Wars
Figures for Russians and Bulgarians are pretty similar at a push
Cowboy Bebop Live Action is hitting Netflix this nov. along with the original anime as well.

The Chinese Warlord period would be another interesting war to delve into especially as a lot of the Russian Royalist supporters tuned up in this conflict as mercs.
Black Templars is an army so small it can fit inside a Rhino :p
Only need three for a crusade after all
Looking forward to the Silver Bayonet. My wallet is advising me to only get one starter force and I’m torn between British cause of Bram Stoker’s Dracula tugging at my imagination and the French cause I have lots of spare Napoleonic models from Victrix to draw fresh recruits from. Decisions, decisions, decisions…
All the miniatures look fantastic.
Once Silver Bayonet arrives I’ll be able to take up arms against the dark forces in another alternate time period, just like I did with Dracula’s America. Good times.
first
Happy weekender
enjoy the greatest movie ever made
The weekend starts now!
Yes. Painting time.
That Black Templar set looks great.
Heresy Lab do make some exceptionally nice minis – I have a clutch of their more Imperial-looking SF minis that are wonderfully evocative, but I’m quite fond of their more recent dabbling into Mordheim proxies, especially the not-Bretonian foot Knights….
The Not-Brets are very nice indeed.
Every time I’m shown the awesome models from themakerscult is a step closer to pulling the trigger on a resin 3d-printer.
Also, happy weekend everyone!
I am particularly taken by those mechanical tyranid constructs!
Right. This week I want something different, I want…
It’s another Weekender isn’t it?
Hersey Labs my boxes of shame so many to do 🙂
Enjoyed the show guys… have a great weekend everyone
Yay its the weekender time.
Ooh Darth Marines.
Shush Justin Dam it man some of us still would like to eat sometime this month
It’s the Weekender!
VIGO Gerry?
‘Darth Moeder’ … LOL
‘Vader’ = Dutch for ‘Father’
‘Moeder’ = Dutch for ‘Mother’
So it wasn’t much of a surprise when Darth said “I am your fater” …
It’s in your flippin’ name 😉
Ben also available for the sales channel for the right money?
nice to hear about Blood and Valour! i should check into that sometime. Would be fun if they covered a bit of the Russian Civil War following WW1.
that bug think reminds me of the martian chaos thing that attacked the train before it gets stopped by the Knights.
Nice more tasty models to end the show.
I like the hobby league. Think I’ll join it to help get me back in the painting chair now that life has settled down for me again.
Yays to the 40k community for largely saying no to 13 minis [+exclusives, of course] for $200! Shoulda had a few terrain sprues thrown in, at least. Or have just started at $150.
Blaster was here… & knows *bespoke* boxsets aren’t all equal!
they’re not for sale yet …
we’ll know if the community really said ‘no’ if GW announces that they still have a ton on monday 😉
— edit —
Looks like they have been since last week.
They’re still available for pre-order on GWs site, not sold out in minutes like previous exclusive/limited boxsets. & the pre-order guarantee was only for the weekend. Also, my flgs’ said they had 1 & 2 pre-orders. & hint’d that GW is hoping they order [pre or not] more copies. Previous limited editions… they were allocated very few & those were snap’d up fast.
More than a bit of empirical evidence that this one didn’t go over too well.
ah my mistake … I thought this was going to be released this weekend.
But it was previous weekend.
I see it as ‘available’ in my not so local webshop too.
Of course we can’t expect every army set to be sold out within minutes, so it is too early to tell if this is a sign that customers got fed up or simply saving for a ‘black friday’ deal …
That GW did the pre-order guarantee thing for it kinda tells the tale. It didn’t hit the Made To Order stage over the weekend. There hasn’t been a Space Marines specific limited boxset in a good while. Even tho Black Templars is a niche army, that it doesn’t seem to have hit the mark with the greater Space Marines market is a bit of a telltale too. It’s really just ridiculousness bad value, I don’t think that can be argued against. So seeing it still in the *taking orders* stage is a good sign about the community & what players… Read more »
Morning all
everywhere Yogi looked there were picnic baskets, walking picnic baskets, all he had to do was hit them with his big hammer to open them
Another good episode.. I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of Silver Bayonet especially as I’m finally jumping into the Napoleonic period.
You could drag it forward to the Opium Wars period.Weapons will be the same and you get to have hopping vampires
That’s a good idea, move it to Asia and Asian folklore.
You could also go to South America with the Wars of Independence during the Napoleonic period though not sure what nightmare creatures they have there
