Modiphius are on Kickstarter right now with not one but two versions of their new DOOM | Arena Board Game. You can either go ultra retro and snap up a version featuring miniatures and design that match the 1993 first-person shooter, OR snap up DOOM: The Dark Ages | Arena Board Game, where the Doom Guy is swapped out for the Doom Slayer who slices and dices his way through more hordes of Hell.
As always, dive into the comments and tell us all your thoughts about the show this week and what we chat about!

After how interesting Dystopian Wars week is, its making me very excited for Firestorm Armada. Space Boats!! (Maybe there will be a mechanical Whale up there instead)
Hah maybe!
😁🤞🏻
In it to win it
We need Pigs in Space….
you mean “pigggggggggggggs in spaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!” lol . yes im old too lol
Breaking News Just in Two tier editing
Yay it’s weekender time folk’s 👍👻👍
Gerry would make a good Ghostbuster he’s probably vanquished a few spirits in his time ?🤔
more of a guinness man is he not ? lol
Lol
Don’t forget Z Nation episodes for imsperation games
DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOOM
Brilliant show guy’s 👍😆
More Dystopian Wars? I’m here for it.
excellent as always by the bearded 3 !
Absolutely loving the plastic battle pigs
Happy Halloween and avoid the bees
Time warp back to Doom; excellent. Those Spectre zombies; even better! 🙂
The option for standees in Doom will pull in some of my friends, with them being board gamers and not miniature gamers. Concept wise it also sounds better than the FFG version, which was hard.
Nice one 🙂
Maybe the plastics will finally mean Relic Blade will be easier to get in the UK. Can’t wait for the Sunday discussion.
2D Dooooooooooooooooooooooooom with flats!
Belated happy weekender have very much enjoyed dystopian videos this week
the firestorm armada news was a big surprise this week. Ive still got my old battlefleet from spartan games, and been wanting a space ship game for a long time. Hoping i can use my old stuff to start with!
Came for the minis, stayed for the Gerry Hawkins.
I don’t think you need to be worried about copyright claims, they’d have to recognize the songs first. 😛
Very nice of Modiphius to cater to fans of both versions of Doom. I get the impression that those two groups of people are less overlapping than expected and maybe I’m wrong, but that they made the effort of offering two distinct and separate products is quite telling, in my opinion.
The weekend has arrived.
hopefully firestorm does well and they also bring back planetfall which I thought had some nice mechanics on list building …. and the leviathans! they were some models and a half.
I’d forgotten about the Quar. Wayland games sell Quar stuff right? To the internet!
Hoping to see a lot more civilians for Spectre, lots of potential uses for them
I wonder looking at the Doom Warrior did he inspire the look of the Spartans in Halo?
Weekender time!
Tabletop Doom? Yes
Doom!
Warpath goodness!
Battle pigs! Pigs of War? Pork warriors? Bacon battalions? Porcine skirmishes? Now I’m hungry.
Thalassa looks good, reminds of the classic spectrum game Legions of Death.
Those pig men would be great proxies for the Farrow for Warmachine, for anyone having issues getting out of print models.
Good to see Firestorm Armada surfacing again. I seem to remember that the models and rules looked interesting the first time around but it disappeared before I really had a chance. Maybe this time…
I’d love to see the DOOM minis painted in a pixelated style.
I’m sure someone’s said it before, but when Gerry mentioned the drift dice, my brain said “Thalassa, the Furious: Trireme Drift”
Nice to hear some movement on wild west exodus, and firestorm armada looks tempting.
