Old-School 90’s Gaming Magic! Relive It Today With Urban War #OTTWeekender
October 27, 2023 by avernos
It's OTTWeekender Time! In this week's Weekender we have a chat about a 90s old-school gaming classic that could end up helping is relive the 90s and that epic wargaming magic. Could Urban War help us relive it today in the here and now? We also take a look at an immense range of miniatures from SolGood Creations over on Kickstarter that should be a collector's dream!
Did you play the original Urban War and if not, could you be tempted by these re-released miniatures to see if they can help you recapture that magic? Which of the epic dioramas from SolGood Creations would you go for if you got stuck into the Kickstarter.

Evening folks – that Rampart terrain is quite tasy
Can I win some trees please? XD
Thanks for the reminder about the terrain projects. I haven’t posted an update yet!
It wasn’t floating around you Gerry! Make the editor do it all again!
Camping in the spooky elven woods is appealing.
Hi weekenders an COGz.
Bam
The Urban War really brought up some nice memories! Thank you!
Please tell me that so!good is three inch based.
I still would love to see Warlord games do 15mm fantasy.
Would be great to play huge fantasy armies with magic, wizards and heroes. I that think Warlord games would be able to write a Great rule system for it.
There’s a few companies that do smaller scale Fantasy if you don’t mind metal. Kallistra do 12mm. Alternative Armies has 15mm. Pendraken do various scales. There are more out there.
considering Kallistra’s 12mm match Warlords Epic 13.235675637347838367345634648848346345737mm that’s a good way to future proof in case Warlord ever release fantasy, but I think it’s unlikely.
@zaknafein5 you should have a look for Warmaster Revolution online, it’s written for 10mm but it makes no difference and it’s what Warlord based HC and BP off
great video guys
I’ve painted that ‘Land of the Giants’ box for my terrain project. Thanks for the reminder to update my entry in the project system.
good one chap’s.
Try to win elven terrain… yes please 😁
Poor Gerry had to rinse the sick out of his mouth after Justin told him there was 4 people diving into Age of Sigmar.
Is anyone else regretting not putting “perfect for SAGA” in their terrainfest project titles?
I have been told a team will be on hand to forcibly make me open other projects.
Clockwork Orange style
Ok jerry backed The Moonstone just so you would reach 1000.
Had nothing to do with the fact I like the game system of the Mini’s……….nothing at all.
😀
Your sacrifice will not go unrecognised
LOL
LOl just what is to excepted and I continue to suffer in silence
Very nice terrain.
Ooh. Both cool terrain sets
That Slave to Darkness box has me interested.
Archon Studio’s have been really impressing me lately. Lovely stuff for Warcry.
Would love some Archon terrain!
That might be the first time I ever heard Gerry say “Moonstone” w/o the “Award Winning” adjective.
I was sick
I have so many terrain projects I need to get to.
Thanks for the show.
I’m not really a 40k player, but those battleforce boxes aren’t really inspiring. As more of a painter, nothing there really grabs me. Also, why do none of the Bonereapers or wet undead have reflections? I know its photoshopped, but that’s just lazy.
some of the wet undead are vampires.
