First. Weekend.
Necrons!!!!
That Indomitus set looks great.
Can we haz an army of Murder Buckets ?
’cause that is the one thing that I liked about the necrons 🙂
Look at the la trash cans go!
Those Necrons sure look nice!
Usually a mattress in the back of a van was accompanied with jar of turpentine…
It’s the Weekender!
We here in the former colonies of England are celebrating our choice to self rule and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by watching my favorite war gamers in the UK as they update me on the status of tabletop gaming!
Love the ‘Warring Clans’ minis at FootSore Miniatures. I need some more of those for my Test of Honour’ gaming tables. Very nice, and full of character. ??
So the coming of 9th Edition WARHAMMER 40k has me pumped up. I’ve already started a new army with Adeptus Mechanicus’ and that had me purchasing my first Imperial Knight model to add to my Admech force. Doing research on Imperial Knights has me now planning to purchase more so I can have a complete Knights only army! “Dang you GW, you finally got in my pocket again in a big way”!
@avernos your interview with Tim Spakowski about Footsore North America was very cool. I’ve heard his voice on another podcast before and it is really cool to see him in a video interview. His image matches his voice as I had decided in my mind’s eye that he might look. Great miniatures and really solid service from FootSore Miniatures! ??
I’m with you @warzan about metal miniature! I just recently ordered a metric ton of metal minis for my French and Indian War tables. I have many boxes of plastic for AWI but really wanted the metals for the Seven Years’ War. With the metals I just open the box and clean the flash, (if any), and then I’m ready to paint! It’s nice to NOT have to make a choice of which pose to build this time. In the past I had a two gallon bucket of old D&D minis for Dungeon Night. Talk about being truly Heavy Metal! ??
There’s a lot of cool new changes in the 9th edition. Just feels like a more refined 8th, and the models are awesome!
I’d say 9th edition is what 8th edition should have been like if they got it right first time ’round 😉
Although I’d also argue that a lot of the extra explanation is the result of the rules being abused to hell and back.
Happy Weekender, hope everyone can get their hobby on. Primed some models today on lunch to set myself up for the weekend
Is this Jul 4th the 10 year anniversary of BoW? Thought I saw that date kicking around somewhere??. If so, happy anniversary!
Something Special you say…..intrigued. Happy Friday Cultists and Cultists yet to be. Been a busy week, moved home away from neighbours who decided to turn the place upstairs from me into a 24hr crack disco, try shielding when you have 24hr party poppers stinking you out with weed and techno. Sufficed to say hobby time had dent put in it along with my sanity. But new place all moved and loving it so tonight my first night unpacked it’s 8pm and it’s the Weekender, life is SWEET. ???
Haven’t looked at Footsore in ages. It’s got bigger!
and will be bigger again soon
So, will the modern stuff from the US store be available in the UK store? I hope so cos that looked really cool.
yes, I will do a post when it goes live, but Andy is getting painted versions done and hopes within the next week or two to start listing the Moderns range in the UK store
Yay the weekender has arrived.
Did I win yet? Gib Indomitus…. I need paperweights… XD
Lol Warzan is going to craggy island for a holiday?
I want to win that box!
Gimmee gimmee gimme a Necron after midnight.
Of course you can scale down the LED and battery (I use 1210 batteries – 10mm diameter, 1mm thick for some projects). The smallest I’d hand solder is an 0805 (about 0.8mm across). LEDs go down to 0402 but they’re not for soldering by hand! I’m not sure if you can get flickering LEDs in surface mount packages. But you gave me a challenge – I’ll try to find out (if not, I’d be tempted to run a few LEDs to a microcontroller and use that to flicker them on and off for you).
We don’t eat Kermit’s legs?
May be good having Genghis force’s verses the samurai that never happened because the fleet was destroyed by a storm.?
The Sarissa Arab dhow ship would work great for my colonial Sudan range.
Not sure about the Gangs of Rome stuff. Even though Warren seemed to be super into this, it looks boring to me. I mean, if the system is amazing, sure… but it reminds me of my mothers old christmas decoration, which was also some figures in robes.
I mean, sculpting skill aside, this doesn’t even have the flavor of some fantastical element.. or at least some interesting hook… it just looks like average shoes brawling in the backstreet. And even that could probably be better if you made it in some ridiculous fashion like that Double Dragon Liveaction movie. Where you have the “Clowns” fighting the “Streetartists”.
It doesn’t really have that “looker” appeal. I think if i would see that played in a store, i probably would just move along. Its a shame, really, because the models look nice.. for a Diorama or something.
Happy weekender!
Death to false King!
Love tabletop world stuff.
Lloyd 53:42 “I’m confused. Did Bilbo… who…who went where?” It just reminded me of Dougal from Father Ted. I just realised Gerry commented “God Ted I’m going mad.” a few seconds later.
Pure gold.
Loving the show guys.
The Gerry Springer tavern.
The shop’s for doll house’s are good for terrain pieces like doors widows pillars and the like.
After one difficult year of finishing a part time degree I bought my friends dolls house violins at Christmas as an apology for all my moaning.
Lol
?
Happy weekend!
Got to watch on the Friday evening for a change! Dont know what I’ll do tomorrow morning now!
Cant wait for 9th edition!!!
Enjoy all!
Huge fan of Footsore UK. I have a good lot of inter war stuff, need to crack on with the Vikings and have quite a bit of Greek and Kushite stuff to do too.
Footsore US landing soon? You can have more of my money!
within the next week or so, Jez is painting up the display models for the site
Aargh. If anyone wants a kidney I’ll be hanging around the QE hospital this time tomorrow. Cash only!
Woo! Bring on those sweet, sweet ‘crons.
Very nice.
It’s day 7 of my “long Weekend” so far (otherwise called a week off work), meaning only another couple to go!
In hind-sight, I wish more of them had been spent hobbying…
Ooh love the freebie brasia.
That Indomitus set looks cool!!
Nice one Guy’s a brilliant show.
I’d love to win!
Happy Weekender!!!
good show guys some of the Footsore stuff nice
I’m excited for the samurai models in the picture.
These rules for the new addition of 40k look slick.
Very excited for 9th ed, loved the fluff for years and years but never played anything more than Kill Team, the addition of Patrol Forces and Crusade though is bringing me in
Will be nice back to game plus win that box. ?????????
Warren’s holiday plans are fantastic…though I’d, personally, rather be halfway up a mountain looking for shiny things in caves…shame I live in a flat, swampy mess…
No weekender? Oh nooooooooooo!
Thanks for another great show! Next week’s surprise is very intriguing…
Happy Weekender!
And i am excited for next weekend! 🙂
Well.. I guess I can just add to my backlog pile of Spice Marens and why not? Let’s just add some King Tut Terminators with fleshy ponchos too. I’m game. Let’s do it! 🙂
Just having a look at the battery situation and the 15mm downscale.
Should be achievable but will require some minor modifications to the file.
There would be two likely candidates for the button battery, CR1025 and CR927. The CR 1216 is also an option but it may be a little big in the diameter but likely perfect for height. It may be more readily available with LEDs as it (apparently comes in several cheap tea lights).
For the LED, they use a 5mm LED in the default scale so a 3mm will likely fit and they are very very easy to source. As far as I understand it they are quite common in railroad modelling. Worse case you could go smaller all the way down to SMD, it might require some more effort but nothing overly difficult.
I can have a look in my battery drawer if you like and have a go at modifying the design to do 15mm (or work out a scale that fits a 1216).
Love The Weekender, love the new 9th edition and love those new models! Tis a good day!
Footsore minis is something I will put money aside for. Those seven samurai are great.
I am looking forward to next week. I rotate on call every two weeks and next weekend I can relax with a cool surprise show from you guys. I usually have to watch the show in short sections until “completion” lol.
Happy Weekender.
Weekend!
Nice one guys. Dream Stone looks cool. Going to take a look at the Kickstarter and the YouTube channel
welcome to the delightful world of the Dreamstone, I’ll be under the Black Mountain if anyone needs me
I do like the shiny Clankers….
Hope they move the story on in 9th, though some of those minis have me interested – don’t have hunk I will be able to afford the whole box – but if it were free ?
40K Ed9 looks promising
footsore late romans and early Saxons are fantastic miniatures for me the go to range for this period
they’re really nice as well, early saxons are some of the oldest sculpts they have now and still look great
Looks like it´s time to start with 40 K
Sweet jeebus I needs a win
Footsore are so good, one day I’ll get my Mortal Gods stuff painted, I bought the Athenians to use in that new Warlord ancients game.
Fantastic show as always gentlement. I’m sorry to say that I love those new 40k Primaris marines, I would love to add them to my Dark Angels force!
that is fabulous as prize
happy Saturday
I am a fan of the Footsore range, don’t have a whole lot of it yet but I’m slowly working on it. 🙂
wow a special show sounds fun can’t wait 🙂
happy weekend with open pubs in uk! be safe!
That dreamstone segment was a weird experience for me. I’d have been around 11-12 at the time. I swear I’ve never heard of it before and yet the longer the segment went on the more bits of it seem familiar. I think I watched it and then threw away all the memories, but a deep dive is finding holes where it used to be stored. Its something I have no memory of and yet i can remember it.
Great and interesting show again. Really like the Kromlech accessories. I think the tavern feast would go really well with the current Dunkeldorf KS as would the wizards’ tomes with the current Diehard KS. Footsore knights look good as well. Looking forward to the surprise show that is not a show next week… will the surprise be that it will actually be broadcast from the back of Warren’s van at his secluded beach? ?
Going to get the new 40k rules downloaded today. I got back into 40k when 8th edition came out but I always struggle with pace of change in the rules codexes Looking forward to the indominus set to upgrade my imperial fists, I am guessing they will lose their no cover bonus specially with the new terrain rules.
Brilliant show as ever. Have a great weekend guys!
happy weekender
Footsore has a very nice collection of miniatures.
and soon you can play with a more headed beast ?
don’t be afraid of the metal, give it the love it deserves and use super glue gel ??
????
Is it me or do the battle toads look like they ate out there f buckie ohare.
I remember bream stone from when i was a kid. Looks good
I want the war robot spiders!! Please.
@brennon I feel for you given the LOTR discussion, would it of been worth explaining that the reason that Bilbo and Frodo got to go to “elf heaven” is because they were ring bearers? And that Sam was afforded that honour too, many many years later, as he had been a ring bearer for a short time too.
Am a little concerned by how much the 9th rules will interact with codex’s that were written for 8th with the changes to how alot of things work….and how long it might be till release of replacements..
Just what I needed a Weekender to get me through the morning. Thanks chaps 🙂
smash for the prizes, buttons for the button god, dongs for the dong throne
(Hmmmm that didn’t come out quite right)
I must say the 9th edition and Indomitus starter has me looking at 40K.
Footsore modern line is amazing.
I’ve been slowly painting up my 40k Death Guard that have been languishing in their box as well as my Mortal Gods box. Haven’t yet decided on a city-state yet but if they release an Estruscans (or Rome) faction I’m switching over straight away.
Gangs of Rome looks pretty sweet to scratch that ancients itch I have right now.
At the same time Ronin was released by Osprey, the Ministry of Gentlemanly Warfare released Daisho.
These rules were based on In Her Majesty’s Name and allowed you to play straight historical games, spice them up with a bit of cinematic heroism, or add fantasy elements if you wanted too.
Almost finished a Sisters of Battle Squad. They’re looking for some Necrons to disassemble. They’re also willing to show some marines how to kick ass.
For those that want to see some Sylvania Families type critters being rude and offensive (I believe Sylvania Families lawyers may have ‘suggested’ the official range was not used any more) check out Forest Fr1ends on facebook
https://www.facebook.com/forestfr1ends/
I haven’t played 40k since… 5th edition??! I’m intrigued by what Deathwatch will look like in 9th.
I’ve got a decent stack of NIB Deathwatch that I bought in anticipation of building and haven’t got around to it. I’ll wait for 9th edit to come out before I crack it open. Fingers crossed DW still gets attention!
Really love that 3D print idea for LEDs. Soooo easy to do! I’m not foreign to soldering and electronics (I’m an electrical engineer), but that’s just really cool and convenient!
Finally some bikes for the White Scars I’m planning 🙂
Would be nice to combine footsore’s mortal gods with the mythic battle miniatures I got!
Got to get me a 3d printer, each time I see an indie of the week I’m thinking of buying something else!!
Another Great Weekender and discussions. The Footsore Miniatures lines are pretty awesome looking and worth picking up for a game collection. Bring on the Necrons from the Indomitus set
Love footsore! Really enjoyed this weekender, tremendous company that does some tremendous work.
Indomitus is looking better and better.
set looks great reaaly like the necrons
Waiting for the price of the new box to sell the marines.
Looking at footsore and GW minis gives me too much of a case of “ooooohhhh shiny”
Happy weekender.
Getting very tempted by the new 40k – after several decades of historical and Middle Earth battles maybe it is time to revisit Games Workshop for something more than paints and brushes…
The weekend has started…..
C’mon Indomitus, c’mon indomitus. OR Since youse guys gots all da experience wit da TreeDee printer thingies and have been hawking them like crazy, one of dose. A good’un, natch. Tanks.
Indomitus is looking good
I can’t wait for Indomitus, really hoping it will kickstart my gaming in 40k. Haven’t touched 40k properly since 6th really. Now just to decide how to paint them, really wanting to do Imperial Fists
For the Void Dragon!
Just imagining the end theme from the Bill Bixby Hulk tv show playing whilst @brennon has his head in his hands (don’t touch your face) listening to the rest of the gang talk crap about lord of the Rings.
You have to love Footsore. I hope to get a game of the new Test of Honour soon and will eventually commit to some ninjas or the seven Samurai box set.
I was gutted that sadly their WW1 minis aren’t available anymore, because those molds have given up the ghost, else I would have committed to my planned British Blood and Valor army being based on that range.
Great show.
they’ll be back, like the arabs they were temporarily retired to sort the moulds out. The arabs reappeared last month, so that hopefully means that the interwar is now receiving the same attention
Yeah, those new Necrons are looking really good. I am on the fence about the new Necrons terrain tbough.
Another great show, footsore does great work. Indomitus looks great.
I would like to see a true Indie companies like Bad Squiddo Games be Indie of the week. Dont get me wrong as I love Footsore but some of the other smaller companies out there need the love
Yup I thought this segment would be 1 person an their shed companies getting a bit of exposure. Just seems to be anyone that isnt GW
Still not quite sure what an ‘Indie’ is in wargame company terms
I have been in footsores space in nottingham. It is no bigger than a shed!
Seriously chaps at this scale they are all pretty much micro businesses.
you’re right, we definitely shouldn’t have covered Aventine as there are two people involved.
weirdly we did a one man company last week with Black Scorpion and people complained that we should be doing Footsore.
Frankly I have given up on people
@brennon mentioning Dwarf Fortress made me think of an awesome crossover: Squat Fortress 40k. A group of Squats has to build a fortress to mine a planet, defend it against Orks, Eldar, and Tyranids, and if they dig too deep they awaken the Necrons.
Great show again guys. I’m looking forward to next week, I do love surprises!!
New 40k looks good. No idea how it will play and probably not quite motivated enough to download the PDF (no existing miniatures to incentivise).
One step closer to the WFB relaunch though as well ?
I am in totally for Indomitus Crusade.
Great show guys! Keep up the good job.
Awesome range from Footsore. And is it just me, or do the mob rules from Gangs of Rome sound an awful lot like the mob rules in Reality’s Edge?
I vaguely recall seeing bits and pieces of The Dreamstone, but I think I was too young to ‘get it’ at the time.
Something to go on the watchlist for this summer spent indoors.
if they are the same then I suspect Reality’s Edge will be on the receiving end of a cease and desist order shortly as the GoR rules were written in 2017/18
Really looking forward to the Moderns coming to Footsore UK
Amazing episode, as usual!
Played a first game of 9th ed last night, it’s generally better than 8th I reckon!
I suspect I’ve seen Dreamstone and forgotten the whole thing.
I always like it when I get freebies for 3D printing. Now I just need to finally get a printer 😀
Footsore have some of the best miniatures on the market. I have several from the dark age range… also have a good selection of the minis from Gangs of Rome. Just need to order some samurai and ancient Greeks.
Topshow
Happy weekend everyone/
Have always wanted to build a Roman army but never got around to it
Two surprises for the price of one.
Bloody good show guys!
That Indomitus set looks great, i’ll be keeping both sides of that box!
The ships from Sarissa Precision are amazing and i can’t wait to get my hands on the General’s Handbook for AoS, since i am starting to paint my first army this next week: the Nighthaunts!
See you guys on XLBS
Great show as always guys. Thanks for producing it. Would love to check out that Indomitus prize. It looks great!
I like the test of honour models.
I was a child in he 70’s and 80’s, and I’ve NEVER heard of that cartoon!
Can’t wait for the Indomitus box, seems like it’ll truly be the best box ever… (or at least, so far 🙂 )
Man I need to get over there and sort those boys out on LOTR Ben! Great show guys, Footsore US, did not know about them. Love the Goths! I also ordered the Sarissa Dow after seeing it on the show it is a dead ringer for the LOTR Corsair ship, been hunting for something like that for quite a while now, thanks!
Ahh Dream Stone, something that didn’t even know I had forgotten about. I remember watching that as a kid.
This new edition and the range of Space Marines getting fleshed out even more is going to pull me back into 40k.
Love the show, gets a bit messy trying to paint and watch, and now itching to shove batteries into everything!
Didn’t recognise Dreamstone at first but then old synapses started firing and i started to rememember watching it as a kid. Might have to go and watch it again.
Those frogmen are cute!
I’d join the crusade for metal models, it is my second favourite material for models after resin.
The indomitus boxed set is really something, but I discovered so much more watching the weekender !
50:25 Undeniable proof that the -dawi- duardin are superior to the lowly -elfs- aelfs.
Amazing news
New plan for necron army: All urbanmechs… That’s right, the urbanecron dynasty! Can’t decide what the lords/destroyers/immortals/etc. will be, but hey, at least we know what the line troops will look like.
I love the Weekender!
It’s Weekender time!
Ive always wanted necrons. Now is the time, but at the same time everyone is going to be playing them haha.
The models look great
Saturday morning is out of sync, so I decided to rewatch last weekend’s show.
Loving the new ‘crons
Winning Indomitus would get me a jump on learning to paint minis. Cause then I just need to spend cash on paints,tools to paint with. Been wanting to get into miniatures painting for a very long time now.
That indomitus set looks great, maybe time to get back into 40k and start a new army
These historicals look awesome
Out of town and catching up, thanks for the show.
The Footsore minis are epic!
9th edition now. I guess it’s time to refresh the books and refill GW’s coffers.
indomitus loving the new necrons
I like the look of the Kromlech models
Oh cool. Tim is local to my neck of the woods. It’s awesome he is getting some international exposure!
Footsore might get around t releasing the Gangs of Rome figures, so far only 5 weeks late 🙁
Indomitus…I have mixed feelings about Change. The new models all look great (far better than oldhammer models) and the Primaris are putting more “flair” on their armour like oldhammer marines, but as fearsome and pretty as the are, they just can’t conquer the nostalgia I have for the 40k of my childhood.
I bet younger gamers don’t have my bias, though.
A great selection of minis for all of history
The Valis Mortis looks interesting
I love the Footsore minis!
I am cautious about 9th edition – I remember getting on board the hype train for 8th edition and then dropped it within a few months. Partly that was the people I was playing with. I’m buying the corebook for this and I hope it ends up being fun otherwise I have to go back to just enjoying 40K through the fiction!
So many incredible models!
Very nice stuff
This was an epic Weekender!
These models look cool!
