![Warcradle Studios Reveal TINY New 10mm Festive Marker! [Updated]](https://images.beastsofwar.com/2025/11/christmas-kyle-main-600-338.jpg)
you’ve had 7 minutes so I’m claiming first
I didn’t want to steal your thunder and break your streak
Made it first again, truly love this job
you may be 1st but you didnt mention the GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE
shall we talk about the worst movie ever made ?
sorry, i am First again, 7 seconds, 7 minutes, 7 hours, always first.
Gerry the insider trader Lol
I shall not overturn Gerry’s thunder he is bigger than me.
what’s he going to do, virtually punch you….now now,,,,let’s not get into an arguement on who’s first especially since it’s me.
let the Wookie win.
Good stuff, my weekend can now start.
Question, WWIII starter – any good for East German?
If you shout for a wild John he may appear and help you heh
I don’t believe East Germany has a dedicated list yet. In reality they had a mix of old tech never quite reaching the armour that is in the box for the Soviets, however it seems sensible to me that in the event of war breaking out they would have their equipment upgraded.
In short, I don’t see why you can’t run the Soviets as the National People’s Army I expect a lot of overlap when the East Germans get a book.
I am the 1st to say GO watch the GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!
Yes Mercenaries box, yes the chimpy head and yes the very first SG mini I put together (though somehow the troopers got finished first)
It does seem like a pretty good box for those liking their aliens
As with the fantasy boxes they’ve played a blinder here. Crew for the basic goons, mercenaries for the leaders or specialists, troops as squads or just better equipped gangers (possibly also with chimp and lizard heads, perfect!)
The Stargrave Troopers look like they could be painted like space marines in Aliens.
Yeah! The week-end starts NOW!!!
West German TY coverage was great.
Needs more infantry … and it really feels odd to see modern artillery on the battlefield.
Wait .. am I learning stuff while playing games ?
That can’t be 😉
Its odd to see it WW2 games as well I’m my opinion
True, its only there to sell figures and models. If any tanks got near artillery, the crews would run like hell. Like when the russian tanks got near that german airfield outside of stalingrad,,,,,alot of planes crashed into each other as it was PANIC of the first magnitude.
Yes, it should not be there, only there to sell models. I saw a great picture, dated 1973, a couple of Egyptian vehicles got near an Israeli artillery position, lets just say, it looked like a hell of alot of busted guns. Crews basically ran as by the time you limber up, its over. If you have any reservations, ask the Egyptian SAM crews when they saw Israeli tanks coming near them, they just fled. One reason Israel had so many pieces of Russian equipment, rear troops just fled.
Anthony Andrews was in the TV series wasnt he? Maybe I’m thinking of something else
Anthony Calf was one of the brothers, I don’t think Andrews was in it, but it’s been years
First again, i am truly remarkable.
I notice Gerry has changed the background! Warhammer 1st Ed is out and Judge Dredd is in!
Richard Haliwell passed so I thought it fitting
If anyone saw the Wargames Atlantic poll and voted for anything other than the space apes … well I just don’t understand.
It’s the Weekend and time to open that West German WW3:TY goodness that arrived yesterday from the OTT store!
Nice job this week guys lots of cool content and shiny things for me to look at.
Yay its the weekender time.
Tut Tut its the two Ronnie’s one thats the bestest Guys?
Stargrave week is here… looking forward to each news days goodness already
Love me some Team Yankee. We need Free adding to the opening credits! Great show as ever, have a great weekend folks.
that octobeasty could be the watcher in the water for LOtR.
Justin is the BOW house elf?
nice one guys.
It’s the Weekender…………,
Loving the ‘1898 Miniaturas’ French Foreign Legion’ figures. I’ve got to snag some of them! ??
TTCombat has produced more lovely ships for my Dropfleet Commander fleets. Dave has got his design on and hitting it out of the park this time. Really wish I could have met Dave at a convention sometime. Oh well, I can still watch the OTT Dropfleet Commander Weekend videos over and over again.
Well, adding to my list the Wargames Atlantic ‘Conquistadors’. A must have to bring my early Americas pulp adventures to life.
about 2 hours after the show they showed off some low res test prints of the Aztecs to be painted for the box art they look lovely.
https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/next-releases-and-some-previews
Those Conquistadors *chefs kiss*
Enjoyed the show. Looking forward to Stargrave week.
Happy Weekend, all! Thanks for another entertaining show, packed full of puns. Those GMless roleplaying games look interesting.
Ah, the Cursed Company, a wonderful undead unit that can be hired by any force except Undead. I love how it is made up of undead from multiple races. Fun sculpts too.
I always assumed that the Eldar were just a race of varied sizes. It’s the real reason Farseers need big hats, Short Elf Complex.
I am intrigued by this thing you all call Stargrave. I think I have enough stuff to run it immediately even. Of course one can’t go wrong with Osprey plastics. Just because I’m trying hard to work through the current pile of scifi minis doesn’t mean I can’t add a few (boxes) new ones here and there.
Omg would LOVE that starter set. Totally been thinking of getting into Team Yankee with my son who loves these games. Def getting into Stargrave too.
“Just ask Corey Feldman” lmao Jesus Christ.
*innocent look*
Great show this week. Loved the Indie this week, thanks Free. Looking forward to Stargrave week.
Half Giant WIP has been Justined?
I wonder how plausible a scale comparison site would be, especially as an add on for OTT? A page that lets you show side by side images of models from any two or more different companies? The images would need to be suitable scaled for comparison so perhaps they would all need to be taken under identical setups, but perhaps users could upload pics following rules. Perhaps each pic must contain a GW paint pot and the model and the pot must be placed in such a way as they would both touch a ruler placed in front of them, running parallel to the camera? Then the images could be resized so the paint pot is the same height in all pics selected for comparison.
This would allow you to buy Vikings for saga (for example) from many different ranges with confidence that they’ll look right together on the table. It’s a common question that comes up on the Weekender.
This is a great idea. I’m always looking up size comparison pictures when I’m looking at a new project, particularly as I like to have a mix of as many manufacturers as I can get. Surely Gerry’s collection alone would be enough to get us started. As an industry, standard reference pears only go so far so something suitable for miniatures would be great.
Another great episode guys.
Thank you for spotlighting Gloomy Kid Minis – this now removes the only obstacle I had to edumacating the youngsters at my gaming club into just how terrifying Dark Sun was.
Great show guys, as always.
@lloyd have preordered Radukars court and would be more than happy to post the Hellgrimm skellibob into the post for you 🙂
Hot damn, you really can get that Stargrave crew box and convert gnolls and snakemen easily into alien crewmembers. My wallet curses you.
Team yankee stuff to be used for Battlegroup Centag you mean
Ohh Stargrave.
I don’t know anything about it, so I am looking forward to Monday.
In my head, and I so want it to be, a bit like playing out a combat scenario from Traveller.
WTF? Just had a look at GW new releases on their website.
They are charging more for Radukar the Wolf and his Court than I paid for the board game!
So that’s 8 heroes, 10 zombies, 10 skeletons, 6 rat swarms, 6 bat swarms, 10 ‘mysterious objects and the various cardboard bits.
Smaller production run usually means higher costs. Oh, and its GW so they will take you for every penny they can, and you better get it now because you’ll probably never see it again in this form.
Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
Loving the extra content on the weekender and in the breaking news…thanks Free. Like most here I am a miniature gamer first, but also pretty heavy into the boardgames. Having a more fullsome view of what is going on in the gaming world in a one stop shopping experience with quality production and humour is just great. OTT is the place to be. Great work everybody.
Afternoon all, running late today, enjoying the show
Didn’t realise the connection between Stargrave and Frostgrave – doh! ? So, looking forward to dipping in to the content over the next week. ??
Stargrave Week!
Super pumped!
The diverse range that Mantic now have for their terrain crate is terrific.
I picked up some of the ruined house stuff in the KS as scatter bits for Bolt Action.
The Team Yankee stuff is tempting, although it’s the harriers and A10 warthogs that really grab me.
Ohhh. Stargrave looks cool.
A good reason to finally paint some of my Infinity miniatures.
I think with the Infinity terrain and miniatures it would be an epic experience.
Ah man, at first I thought that Corvus Belli was actually going to release a fantasy game (with lovely Infinity-esque fantasy miniatures), but Eldfall Chronicles looks good too.
I’m also very excited for Stargrave week this coming week, just got the rulebook yesterday. Was going to give it a read, but Eurovision got in the way
Love the 15mm Team Yankee game, wish I could have the game in 28MM but the ranges of modern weapons are just so crazy 15mm works great. Playing WWIII computer games in the 1980’s and early 90’s I always used the Germans as one of my main counter attacking forces. So all in on the West Germans!
Happy sunday!
Great new stuff from Wargames Atlantic, i thinking of getting the Conquistador and put them into Frostgrave Ghost Archepelago like i mentionned in the news this week…
New and interesting Terrain Crate from Mantic but, i’ll be waiting for the ruined ones myself.
See you guys on XLBS!
Oh boy Stargrave week is almost here.
The Team Yankee stuff looks good, but I’m looking forward to the Stargrave week.
The French foreign legion minis are awesome, Eldfall does look good as well. Thank you for another great show.
I love what North Star is doing for plastic kits. Even without the capacity to pick up Stargrave at the moment, every time I see them I think about what other roles those minis could fulfil on the table.
Perhaps the next project to play around with.
Looking forward to Stargrave week, still waiting on my package to get here but I’m keen to get stuck in. Definitely tempted by a lot of the Gloomy Kid Minis stuff, might be time to get the 3d printers going again.
Great episode guys!
I’m surprised at the amount of hype Stargrave is getting, even at the local stores in my area who pretty much only do 40k and warmahordes. I hope its a breakout hit could always use more dark scifi in my life.
Drat almost forgot lepard 2 we love them.
