Happy Weekend all
Glad I got my latest order from the store before the russian hackers take you offline.
The last thing we want is to go to war against Russia to prop up Bidens failing presidency #hottake 😉
That’s why we’re challenging him to a gentleman’s tabletop game 🙂
I would say the white dragon minis are a little bigger than 28mm compare to spectre and empress metals
Bit more “heroic” for sure aye
this stream is so out of date. Love the slagging of pollinations
Happy Greatest movie ever made EVER
Yay for the WEEKENDER.
ZULU down man.
I just finished painting up a few Black Hussar models for my Silver Bayonet/Retreat from Moscow project. They are really nice sculpts, very characterful and fit nicely alongside Perrys.
why did warren morph into lloyd?
the Corona virus effect ?
The Colverfield Effect… one of the Worst Movies Evar. Can we get that as a category now?
Black hawk down @warzan
I got the Spinal Tap reference Warren, even if the rest didn’t.
Happy weekend and relax. Whadrun nice price.
very Kung Fu panda look to some figures.
Kermit ?
nice show guy’s.
Happy weekend lads, this is the perfect thing for watching as I get over… that word we can’t say
Hat name is Telpeks At factsanddetails.com
I use 20mm Elheim miniatures for my ultra modern Russians. Have a rifle platoon and a spetznaz squad plus some armored vehicles. They never win but they’re fun to play
LOL Warren has had way too much coffee or tea!
Hmm… highly punchy Hello Kitty Waffle Worlders wouldn’t really be Craftworlders but you can do all the mods to make it work. Cat eared hover jetbikes with snipers on the back? Sure.. why not.
I strongly suggest looking up the music videos for Kyari Pamyu Pamyu for equal visual shock and awe to work with that theme. No thanks needed for scarring your visual cortex. Your beleagured moans of agony will do quite nicely.
Oh damn it, I did all that hobby before checking to see if the weekender was up.
I’m not sure Warren’s Napoleonic British versus Genghis Khan’s Mongols would work out in the way he suggested. There is a close Napoleonic parallel when Napoleon’s Army of Egypt took on the Mamelukes at the Battle of the Pyramids. The Mamelukes attempted to defeat the French squares by riding around them and shooting, but the sheer weight of firepower from artillery and muskets meant it was a resounding victory for the French.
Before I begin, let’s be clear I have an inner grognard that often emerges.
I’m with Warren about the new Risk game. It looks like another example of brand exploitation. It may be a good game, but is it still Risk? That new confectionary item that looks interesting and tasty may be brilliant – but nowadays they won’t have the confidence to launch a new brand, instead more often than not they’ll barstadise an existing brand. Just look at the chocolate/sweet rack in your local to see what I mean – or simply think Monopoly X.
Oh wow. Those are the old Westfalia minis. I have the Prussian medics somewhere and oh my they’re nice.
