Happy Weekender!
It’s Saturday and that means time to check in with the OTT team and find out what’s the latest in the world of gaming.
Oh how I envy those lucky 10 gamers that get one of those limited tickets to the Warlords: Bolt Action Korea event.
I really need to get my order in for that new German D-Day book from Battlefront. I was trying to hold strong and only focus on the American forces this time around. But with the timing and spacing of the release dates for the new books from Battlefront, there really is no reason to not grab each book as it is released.
Do we think AI coming out will delay any hopes at a new BFG line?
I hope so!
that’d be cool but let’s get this new game arrive, out of the box and painted first 😀
Nice intro gents.
I am very tempted to get into flames of war. I know my son wants Brits so I might need to do Germans.
Happy Weekender!
Great show.
Really looking forward to getting my German D-Day book and cards.
Going to check out the launch day in the morning.
i must say you all have great enthusiasm about gaming, you certainly get me interested.
It’s the Weekend!!!
Happy to see AI return.
Nyoooooooooom dakka dakka dakka
Happy Weekender!
Looking forward to this weekends show!
Aeronautica looks so good.
Nice to see Ryan back on the show.
The command cards for FOW sound interesting, good to fill up those last points that are left over.
I would suspect the environmental impact of everyone printing their models at home would be much bigger than those associated with mass production, and that is even before you take into account the impact on creating a greater demand for corn. I hope we have learned from the mistakes of the biofuel craze in the 00s and associated changes in food prices around the world, not to mention the negative environmental impact it had as well. Imagine how much of the Amazon Gerry would have to burn to get enough land to produce enough corn to print all the models he wanted!
A black gaming table would also be a nightmare to keep clean, all those hand marks…
AI is back again!
Aeronautica looks awesome, with nutty Orks flying around in death traps ??
Good show, guys! Thanks a lot.
Cheers!
Thanks a lot for the show, guys, it is always a jolly good fun!
Cheers!
Aeronautica Imperialis looks great, like most GW stuff and what I have seen from the rules so far sound good.
But I would like to see other races before committing to another GW game as I would like to see titans from other races too because some of my friends don’t wan’t to start it because it’s only imperial models.
Can’t wait to get the Gotrek model but @avernos your absolutely right it could be anyone!! I’ll be sculpting an eyepatch on there whether it’s story or not just make it my that bit more of the Gotrek I always liked, I would chains if. Could, we’ll have to wait and see how brave I get, maybe I have chain link small enough….
Happy Weekender!
Hope there will be many more factions for Aeronautica Imperialis.
Aeronautica looks awesome. I hope it lasts long enough to get more factions in it as many of the Xenos races have very cool looking aircraft designs.
Finally the weekend ?
I welcome the return of Gotrek and I’m sure Felix will return as well somehow! I might paint his left eye black tho..
The nose ring probably got torn out during the transcendence to the new realm ?
As avid Patrick O’Brian reader and Warlord junkie however, I’m particularly excited about Black Sea
Those ships look super cute and the slightly bigger scale hopefully means even I will be able to get them rigged. And of course..TRAFALGAR ?
This is so destined to be a bootcamp event guys!!!!!!
Crossing the T in Coleraine ❤️
#beginshamelessplug
We agree – so we are taking it on in the store – and its up for preorder now mate
https://store.ontabletop.com/product-category/black-seas/
damn it … my wallet will hate you guys if you keep adding more stuff that I might want.
If it hadn’t been for backing oak&iron I might have been tempted.
It would be nice to see a comparison. O&I does appear to be set in an earlier time period than black seas.
And there is not Dutch fleet …
Gee, and here I was hoping for an event around Oak and Iron from Firelock Games which is coming out in the late fall that uses 1/600 scale model ships. It links perfectly to Blood and Plunder also from Firelock Games.
(in fact, there seems to be a lot of similarities between the games. Leaves me scratching my head).
I think O&I is set during the golden age of piracy (we’ve got Michiel de Ruyter – 17th century), whereas black seas is closer to napoleonic era (18th century).
I am not sure though.
The pre-order boxes show what appears to be a reel of rigging line as part of the standard set.
So … it looks like they expect people to do that.
Hardly expecting..more like proving the tools and encouraging folks to try by doing so. Well done I say!
?
I like the look of Aeronatica gameplay… I am tempted…
But I’d have to paint the planes up as Spitfires and ME109’s…
Or maybe… combine the Blood Red Skies minis with Aero bases…
I still don’t know what faction to run in Aeronautica Impirialis. But I’m thinking magnets may be involved in assembly
Happy Weekend!
So the FoW campaign is really tempting. Got into Team Yankee some time and now I am fighting with myself whether I should get into FoW… 🙂
Picky poo… hmmm
Looking forward to the FOW global D-Day campaign. Thanks for talking it up.
Love the new Aeronautica Imperalis. Just make sure to paint the Dakkajets red.
Naval battles in general is very interesting – slow moving behemoths unleashing an ungodly amount of firepower. And these games are also mainly movement based, whether it’s ships of the line from age of sail or modern task forces searching for each other with aircraft and helicopters.
I’m actually heading out to my local gaming store today to refight the Battle of Coronel from World War One, using the Fear God and Dread Nought ruleset.
As for Aeronautica Imperialis, my box was supposed to get there today, but it’s delayed. Sad about that.
Chug, chug, chug, dakka, dakka, dakka, I would love a chance to win aeronautica
That’s a price I’d love to win 🙂
Es ist das Wochenende!
Let’shave a look at my German options then..
Super exited about Aeronautica Imperialis! Hope that the Tau will get introduced in one of the rumoured quaterly expansions to the game…
But for now, the Imperial Navy and its iconic Thunderbolt fighters will do. Could recreate the “Bommers over da Sulthur River” too! (The game that made me love the Thunderbolts… )
And seriously?! A chanse to win me some Thunderbolts and Bommers?! I’m in!!
I too hope the Tau make an appearance in AI.
With aeronautics I can finally do the scenarios in the siege of vraks forgeworld books. Just need chaos
I’m hoping AI has some ground attack rules/objectives for the bombers and its not all air to air
In the Rynn’s World campaign book you will find ground attack rules. They aren’t in the smaller rulebook contained in the starter set. The latter only has one scenario.
You may only want to get the starter set for the planes and tokens, if the math works out….
And the Imperial & Ork Ground Assets contains ground objectives and AA batteries for both sides currently available.
Thanks, I’ve ordered them campaign book as well as the starter set from the OTT store so looking forward to getting my hands on them. I saw the big ork bomber preview earlier this week so I am hoping they keep releasing stuff for this.
Fingers crossed for a tau manta (unlikely i know but we can all hope).
Gimme, gimme, gimme a fighter after midnight
Won’t somebody help me
Chase the big orcs away
Gimme, gimme, gimme a Destroyers after midnight
Take me through the clouds
To blow them away!
I thank you
(You may have guessed I’d like the prize!)
Looking forward to join on the Korea event 🙂
Flames of war… im so behind !!!
Oh my, those are some great looking fighters for orks 😀 gonna be red camo !
Lots of different sailing games. But they’re all designed for slightly different scales (especially so Black Sails, with Warlords typical “completely unique scale, so you must buy models from us”… which is what will make me not buy it).
From the little I saw from the coverage at Salute I dont see why you couldn’t play this in any scale you wanted like people do with Cruel Seas
AI looks ok though it just looks like a very simplified version of Blue Max ir Crimson Skies
I was thinking that, a poor mans Blue Max
Saturday is here and time for some sweet BoW weekender in bed – always a cracking start to the day/weekend. Happy Hobby Weekend one n all 😀 No normally one for the smaller scales but Aeronautica does look pretty sweet. Gorgeous sprues (from what I’ve seen) and the mechanics theyve come up with for aerial combat look like a blast
Not a huge fan of the game its self but love the models. I’m planing to use some for basing and terrain for AT. Love the germans d-day book too
Happy weekender Ladys & Gents of the Cult
Warran i like the 4, 88s but really no stugs 😛
I’m frantically trying to clear the work-in-progress on my modelling desk so I can crack open my hit the beach box and join the FOW slow grow league!I
Black sails looks interesting and attractive us me more than cruel seas. Wind direction might add a element of much needed chance into the movement of the ships…. As long as the wind direction isn’t so random and game breaking like it was in Dreadfleet.
And speaking of Grandma Wendy, I’m loving the New epic Ork Flyers.Shame they forgot the wheels in the Taurox kits and the full tracks off the primaris vehicles – am I the only one who thinks that landraiders look way cooler than those silly floating Primaris tanks?
Love the look of Aeronautica
Tempted by Black Seas…….. I mean, I’d really like a new Man’o’War but as that will never happen a historical ships game might scratch that itch
Really like the look of AI but still saving up to buy blackstone. too much temptation.
Aeronautica Imperialis looks very tempting, just out of hobby cash for now, so perhaps later down the line.
This weekender could have been delivered by Justin in his QVC voice.
Happy Weekend!
I’m currently trying some painting schemes for Aeronautica – it’s the first GW game I’ll try in 18 years of hobby time. Ihope it’s not too short lived..
Master and Commander is one of my favourite films of all time and I am so tempted by Black Seas now!!
Would you people stop tempting me into Flame of War? The missus would kill me if I get another me in before I finish up what’s already in. =P
Also re: movement in Aeronautica Imperialis.
If I remember the how to play video GW did, you secretly select the manouver each craft will do but then it’s “I go, you go” to reveal them and move. Given how the mavourvers all have some option s in them I think this will create an interesting blend of strategic planning and tactical reacting.
Now,just waiting for my copy to turn up at the door.
Sounds like AI is very popular. I know the models look good.
So if I win that box…. does that count towards my “no new system this year” goal?
clearly
But if I would claim it after new years?
Bring back EPIC 40K GW !
Kiss me, Hardy.
Lets hope GW don´t drag their feet on Aeronautica Imperialis and bring out some more factions soon, like a book with Eldar and Tyranids or some thing like that.
Please feel free to join the AI forum https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/airspace/
Regarding 3D printing. I watched a very nice video on how to reduce/avoid the stepping look on layered prints. Maybe @dignity and @warzan want to take a look at this: https://youtu.be/gmePlcU0TRw
Well I sure appreciate you posting that link! ??
there’s a cool little game by a company called Tumbling Dice called,”MiG Alley”,using 1/600th mini’s. Set during the Korean War,it seems to have the same kind mechanics of aeronautica,but at a fraction of the cost.well worth checking out if you got a spare £10.
I’ve never really been tempted by ship combat wargaming of any form; water, air or space-based. Perhaps AI will change that? My pick from this week has to be the Wargames Atlantic Grognards. They are hitting it out of the park design wise at the moment. And @avernos is right, we are all awaiting the Dark Age Irish…
I like the look of Aeronautica Imperialis. My question is are we going to see it integrated with Adeptus Titianics? And if so will be seeing Space Marine re imagined?
GW has said the model in Aeronautica Imperialis are the same scale as the models in Adeptus Titanicus. This statement was followed by rules are completely different and the timing of the games are different. This would suggest no to Space Marine/Epic. But this could just be a test and if the miniatures sell well, then GW may follow up with a full Epic/Space Marine.
I have to agree with @warzan that the Hit the Beach starter set is one of if not the best starter set for war gaming on the market at the moment. I’m really enjoying getting stuck into 15mm. Though I’m really stuck on where to go next, not because I don’t know it’s more to do with choice. One minute I’m thinking Tiger tanks, then I’m going to myself No go Panther. There’s too many choices lol
Aeronautica looks great. I can’t wait to run around the house shouting DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA
Aeronautical looks so much fun.
Aeronautica looks interesting, but there are so many fun toys coming out yet this year.
Another great show. Liked the overall content with mix of games…historical vs non historical.
I sure could use some more Aeronautica kit!!!
I have had to buy into aeronautica just because I want to paint the models before even seeing the game play.
My only issue with the new Aeronautica Imperialis is there are no movement cards, you have that one movement sheet that you should never loose because at least right now, it is not even online. You should make a copy and then have it laminated. Would it have killed them to include two sheets and have them already laminated? I will also complain there are not enough dice, but they are d6 so easy enough to add more of your own.
Having already played a demo at a local event, the new game is better than the old game. The local shop is selling them today, will see if any are left by the time I arrive. As a big X-Wing fan and all things that fly, I would like to pick it up if there is a copy available otherwise I will wait.
track down Blue Max, you won’t be disappointed as AI seems to be Blue Max light
Should maybe point out the Blue Max myself and @avernos have mentioned is the 1983 GDW version
I think there are 2 copies of the movement sheet in the starter set – aren’t they on the back of the quick reference sheet?
The cards being cut is one thing I don’t like.
One of the others is the apparent removal of part of the tailing rules from the 1st edition. If a plane was tailing another, the tailed plane had to declare which direction the card they were playing had the plane going – left, right or straight ahead. This was to simulate the tailing pilot being in a reactive position behind their target.
I use the word apparent as I don’t have the new rulebook and in the Let’s Plays and Rule Description videos on YouTube it hasn’t been brought up, even though planes have gotten into tailing positions.
It has been a while since I played the original, so my faulty memory may be letting me down.
Certainly curious about Aeronautica but very curious on other faction options…
If you want a cheap way of playing Trafalgar…. The Battle of Trafalgar 1805: Every ship in both fleets in profile
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Battle-Trafalgar-1805-fleets-profile/dp/1912174812/ref=sr_1_2?qid=1567864794&refinements=p_27%3AFlorian+Richter&s=books&sr=1-2&text=Florian+Richter
Can’t wait to play the worldwide campaign with our local community over here in Australia.
The quality of thw AI planes is fantastic, could do with some more 🙂
Im really interested in this new game it seems fun
The fact that Aeronautica Imperialis is the same scale as Adeptus Titanicus makes me highly intrigued about the possibilities!
Great to see some Ork action in the skies
and Gotrek is a real beast on the table but will take skill to use with his rubbish movement stat so is going to be a fun one to play
Happy Weekend, all.
Aeronautica Imperialis looks to be an exciting game and fun aircraft to paint.
Nice to see Ryan join the broadcast again. I’ve been watching some Irving Finkel videos and was reminded how much I like your series on ancient games.
Be seeing you
Awww you are sweet! I was in Dublin this weekend and got to see one of the oldest Hnefatafl boards at the archaeology museum. It was quite a treat!
I think he (Gotrek) had his eye magically grown back in slayer, can’t remember what happened to his nose ring but the final two books of the old world series were particularly brutal so it’s possible it was ripped out, and he was looking for his axe in realmslayer, quite disgruntled that it had gone missing in fact. I’ve seen a couple of people talk about this new model and say it’s not like the older ones, this incarnation of Gotrek isn’t like the older one either, so his new kit and look represents his new book/audio series. The one thing I would like to see is a scale comparison with a fyreslayer or one of the sky pirates, because at the minute he doesn’t seem to be bulky enough, the most defining characteristic of Gotrek has always been how ridiculously muscled he his, how he is just overwhelming big, to the point he makes other dwarfs look like children, and this version looks a little slim.
Thanks once more for a great video everyone. Does anyone know when you will get Dropfleet on the web store? I want to give my digital money to Beasts of War over any other online retailer.
I did enjoy the old release of Aeronautica Imperialis and am interested to see what this new version brings to the table. If nothing else I love the miniatures.
I think it’s fair to say @avernos is right, that’s not Gotrek; not Gotrek as we know and love him. But @warzan is also right, this is the new Gotrek ready for a new legend in the new world. I have said somewhere else that I kinda like the idea of Gotrek returning after all he is a borderline God. But I like the idea of him not realising what he is and wandering the land in search of his lost friend, Felix. Where did he get his eye? Well if he ascended to God status it’s entirely possible that he regenerated an eye.
I can also see some ways to bring Felix back in the future. Maybe he is trapped in the Realm of Death, or perhaps his soul is. He could come back as a ghost that is bound to Gotrek. Alternatively there is no reason that Gotrek could not butt heads with the mighty Sigmar himself and somehow get Felix reforged as a Stormcast, perhaps an unwilling Stormcast as he was famously reluctant to follow Gotrek most of time, favouring an easy life. There’s quite a lot scope for resurrecting their partnership
It’s not old Gotrek, it new Gotrek. If you don’t like new Gotrek that’s fine, old Gotrek still exists, the books all still exist and they can’t take that away. But now it’s time for the new Gotrek to make his mark.
It was a pleasure again to watch the show – cu tomorrow
Happy weekend!
The new Carnavale stuff looks awesome!
I haven’t even bought Warcry and already they have massive new stuff coming out… hard to follow more than one GW games in the last few years…
Napoleon in space looks very interesting, just wondering if the torsos are separate from the legs so they could be used on existing heavy weapons teams.
Yet another fantastic show Gentlemen, thank you. I am loving the look of Black Seas being a massive Napoleonic naval fan that looks really interesting. Also really like the look of the Aeronautica Imperialus game, as I missed out on the original version.
Brilliant show as ever guys. Have a great weekend!
Aeronautica has caught my eye and I am most interested in playing it off hex and modding the movement rules.
Great show guys!
Cannot wait until someone works out a way to integrate aeronautica imperialis into Adeptus Titanicus, so you can fight planes against Titans
Warren and I don’t usually agree,but I think he’s right. Too Early for new Warcry stuff.
I don’t mind the warbands getting their own boxes but too soon for expansions.
happy weekender ?
just back from the liberation memorial day of antwerp.
there were very many U.S. vehicles and have seen an M7 priest for the first time.
tomorrow I will look at P-40 warhawk and the rare B-17 Flying Fortress, and many other wo2 planes i have pictures, if anyone is interested let me know.
flames of war at my doorstep ?
Hmmm. Aeronautica eh? I was going to ignore it, but boy those are lovely models, and if the gameplay is as good as you seem to be suggesting I may be tempted…!
And OK, PLA or whatever it is called may be natural and made from corn and all that, but there’s nothing wrong with plastic. It is natural too, and its made from dinosaurs! Which is cool!
Can’t wait to get the latest FOW book.
I would like to know if the Mini’s for Aeronautica Imperialis are the same size as the first version? If they are then I already have some models painted up for the game. But I still would love to win the game as I am not going to be able to get the game anytime soon as my financial situation is not good at the moment. I am a disabled Veteran living off of my disability and it is about 50% less then was I was making prior to going on disability. So I am way behind on several games that I need to catch up with somehow. And this game is one I really liked to play the first time it came out. I have Models that are not in the set that would make a great addition to the game if I can figure out if the rules are similar and convert them over. But I would have to get the game or win it from somewhere. Hint, Hint.
Terry
The original game was 6mm.
The new one is 8mm.
So that is an increase in size of 33.3…%.
Aeronautica looks like a lot fun 🙂
the Aeronautica Imperialis looks good be nice to see how other races work
I like the new gotrex figure.
I have nothing clever to say. Commenting to win.
Aero imperialis looks quite good so far, but I really think they need the flavour of at least adding an eldar or necron side into the mix.
you guys may well know this Victory is still a active flagship in the royal navy.
Zinge Industries makes a good wheel conversion kit for the Taurox (I think Victoria Minatures does one too)
great show guys.
Getting a little bit more excited about aeronautica now….
AI looks good, as does warcry. Might check out the warcry scenery as will fit lots of other systems as well
Great i wanted to get this game the first time around
Aeronautica! You are going to send me a copy!!
I liked the first print but it got stale after a while. hopefully this event will keep me into old age, (next week or there about).
If I don’t win, I will just have to buy it, there I told you, yous are going to send me a copy.
Sorry Goose, but it’s time to buzz the tower.
Thanks guys for another good Weekender.
I like the look of FoW but have never tried it. The starter bundle that you guys were discussing seems like a perfect start into the game.
And the new IA looks interesting and certainly worth a try at some point.
Good show guys.
I can’t recommend the work of Gary Hunt highly enough. His sculpts are amazingly dynamic and detailed; and in our correspondence he worked with me to combine several orders into one to save me a lot of money on shipping.
If you’re even vaguely interested in District 9 you should definitely jump in on this Kickstarter to snag some of his wonderful sculpts.
Also go by his website ( https://www.garyhuntminiatures.com/ ) to check out his other figures and his other skirmish wargame that he wrote. https://www.garyhuntminiatures.com/_fantasyWarr.html
So, Warcry comes in a box bursting with scenery, but AI comes with nothing but a completely flat playing surface, despite recreating a 3D battlefield. How curious…
great weekender
I’ve got to admit that the Aeronautica Imperialis does look very good. Never thought it would interest me. It’d be even better if they linked it up with the Adeptus Titanicus and then developed Epic 40K again!
that would be… EPIC
I see what you did there… 😉
I loved the old forge world’s aeronautica, I’m really looking forward to see how this version plays
This is gonna be bad ass with Titanicus models!
Awesome show chaps. I know where to come if I ever need a chewbacca impersonator at short notice.
Spoilt for choices at the moment. Aeronautica imperialis gives me a tingly feel due to the script writers excellent “double eagle” book. Its well worth a read,and my only disapointment with the starter box is that it doesn’t come with a chaos faction, as for many its that novel that will have got them inspired by 40k air combat.
Be interesting to see how Grandma Wendy deals with AI and AT. At the moment AT is screaming out for more 40k factions (who doesn’t want gargants/eldar titans/some huge battle suits).
As AT and AI are the same scale, any one else thinking an “epic 40K” relaunch might be on the cards? With you guys talking about resizing 3D renders for printing surely it wouldnt take a lot for GW to do?
I need to pull out my Flames of War and see what I have.
Aeronautica Imperialis looks really nice could have a lot of fun with the paint jobs.. be intresting to find if the chapters have some sort of different abailites.
3D printing I hope it doesn’t go that way as I imagine there are still loads of us haven’t got one or afford one
top show guys
Thanks for another great episode guys, I’m looking forward to watching the Korea(warlord)event on the streams. Loving the FOW content and the slow grow league is such a good idea. Intrigued by AI and hope to see more about it in the future. Totally agree with Warren, Warcry is a real breath of fresh air, and I can verify that is new terrain.
Aeronautica Imperialis looking very nice.
Great weekender as always! 🙂
Guess I have to convert some of my friend to 6-8mm scale as I’d really love to try the new Aeronautica Imperialis! Also it’s only a small step left for a next gen Epic, which would make a lot of people happy 😀
Keep up the great work and the weekenders churning out 😉
That Korea bootcamp is mighty tempting, but the great budjet and new job are saying nooo…. so I guess I’ll just have fun with my F86 and Mig 15s at home.
Glad I started a new job too, a lot closer. means a lot more time for working on my projects (who are not too in advance according to my yearly planning but well).
@warzan I hate you mare XD you got me, I’ll get into he ramp up to 100 pts, with 3 armies (Tanks only though) and will take part in that campain.
@dignity you really should hunt down the 2 books of the previous edition of Aeronotica Imperialis
Aeronotica imperialis…. D-day campain… God my hooby week was pretty darn close to heaven! Just one doubt is in my mind… will those new AI minis be the same scale as the old ones? I guess the answer this week.
Did like your chat on Black Sea, as first I thought that it would make a bit of double usage with Oak and Iron, but I think I might be utterly wrong on that. Might dip my toes into that Black Sea next time I got the opportunity.
also… make Epic 40K great again and finish to kill my budjet dear GW 😀
AI seems like an interesting game. More tactical than the average GW game.
Great show interesting fighter game from Games Workshop.
Thanks for another great weekender!
Hope AI can compete with the likes of xwing. Seems like a really good game. Thanks for the weekender guys!
Black Sails looks interesting, but with Oak & Iron coming up I’ll probably need to pass. If nothing else, my poor rules head cannot handle it, it’d be constantly mixing up rules!
Believe it or not but I still have an unused Flames of War Open Fire boxed set. Perhaps it is time to get the forces built and put it to use, now that I have picked up the 4th edition rule book.
I realy like those flying orks
Loved the book. Hopefully the game lives up to it.
Aeronautica Imperialis certainly a surprise to see this one released from the back catalog, great to see it launch with a background to really excite for gaming. Be interesting to see if they do a campaign background with each new faction release.
@justin as well as Double Eagle they’ve also released an anthology book of air combat inspired action.
I don’t know who Gotrek is, but that model looks a little bland and generic. its got an OK base decoration, but theres nothing there that would catch my eye. A little dissapointing for a GW character piece.
How far after D-Day will the FoW campaign go for? I’d like to build elements of the Polish 1st Armored Division, which didn’t enter combat until August ’44.
Great show! Thanks.
Awesome show as always, loving the new minis from wargames Atlantic…
almost bought Aeronautica Imperialis first time it was out
Looks intresting. Models look cool and nice to paint. Not sure if I’d want to buy whole starter box thought, but may be tempted to go havles with someone who only wants the Imperials as I’d only be ontrested in the Orks.
Wonder what future plans are as be nice to know if other races will be included before investing to much.
I got a chance to see the Imperial Aeronautica sprues and the planes are surprisingly large. I’m more interested in the Tau but the Ork stuff looks fun.
Beyond a doubt the miniatures for Imperialis Aeronautica are the bests thing about the box set. Me and my brother still have the older Forgeworld game and he is a bit bummed out that the new ones are not the same scale as the old ones but I think I understand why GAMESWORKSHOP choice that size. It’s just big enough for high-level of detail at a small scale in plastic. Much better scale than the old Epic game at 6mm which is way too small for painting.
Aeronautica set looks super tight.
gotrek has become a gods avatar and as a god he gets his eye back! he really should of kept his piercings thou. im gonna model the chain back on his nose, when i get him.
Wish I had the opportunity to play in the Korea tournament but I’m away in Aus. Aeronautica Imperialis, Black Seas, Les Grognards (brilliant name) and the Kodran Conflict have me hyped! 2019 is turning into a great year for gaming.
The Taurox is shite with tracks on. It’s not the worst kit GW have produced but it’s up there. The worst non-Space Wolf kit at the very least.
Happy Weekend!
Gotta admit, I’m sorely tempted by the likes of Aeronautica!
Every Saturday morning I have to make a good cup of coffee, sit on a comfortable chair and watch the Weekender. This is already a tradition and every weekend without the Weekender is not the same…
I’ll have to say that I don’t know Gotrek’s past, but this new model looks really awesome!
These new Les Grognards from Wargames Atlantic are really sweet too, an army with a bunch of these will look awesome on the table.
I’ll have to confess that I wasn’t looking at Black Seas until I’ve seen some of the models, I have a thing with historical ships and these look soo awesome that I’m about to get some just to paint and let them sit on a shelf.
Zhontain’s Juice Bar is another crisp looking model… Dude, this weekender is full of awesome models!
I am really hoping AI is also a slow roll into the return of Epic 40k. Maybe next will be 8mm tank game. Also with that Andy Hoare said on the live stream I would be very surprised is BFG didn’t come back next year
It’s not the weekend without the weekender!
Good discussion today chaps.
@avernos They do a master and commander Russell Crowe. He was in the black powder set Lucky John Aubrey? Something like that

They are 2 for 2 (realistically it should have been Sean Bean as Sharpe for black powder though)
Black Seas is looking interesting and rather doable without a huge investment. Other than making lots of little islands maybe…
I’ve never liked planes models. Now I’ll have to think twice.
Morning! That Aeronautica looks great! I’m thinking about grabbing a copy purely for the “quick win” of getting it painted and ready to go with minimum effort and maximum results! Contrast will work nicely, and, bonus Adeptus Titanicus scenery? Looking forward to stomping through a bombed out airfield!
SHWOOOOOM! VREEEEEM!!!! VREEEEEEM!!!!
…..KABOOM!!!
Yeah, I just finished painting a stormtalon, and I’m still not “aircrafted” out. Could do w/ some AI
Not saying Ry isnt pretty, but where is Cass these days?
Interesting to see how Aeronautica Imperialis develops. Here’s hoping Man O’War and BFG get the next revamp!
Nice unboxig guys!!! cheers, great show as allways
nice show, I am really interested on anything Ork related… those planes have too much dakka
Never know Justin had such a big box, and he kept it so well hidden. A friend of mine picked up Aeronautica over the weekend, i really like the look of the game so may look at getting it in a month or two. Great show guy
s, only just watched it and ill be watching the XLBS tomorrow after work. A little late, but better late then never.Those planes are very fun look fun to paint up.
Sorry Warren… Taurox with tracks just cannot be looked at 😀 ! either wheels or nothing… 😉
ps. the gaming table looks *very* interesting… I live in a house with several cats <3 and I was recently thinking about an Imperial Assault campaign. the idea of having to put all cards, minis and stuff in the table after each mission was enough to give me a headache: but with a table like that, you may play a mission, cover the table, let cats jump up and down, then uncover and keep playing 🙂

Jerry might be interested to know that warlord did do a master abs commander model …
So we have Adeptus Titanicus, Aeronautica Imperialis,…..
Just need some tanks and infantry.
Then my wallet will really hurt
Chance to play Double Eagle with Aeronautica would be amazing. Great show as per normal.
The deep cut gaming table looks like a clever design, allowing you to ‘pause’ a game and revert to dining table mode… And for once its affordable! Definitely tempted. AI looks like a lot of fun, as long as GW supports it long enough to build up a player base.
I’m really looking forward to get and play Aeronautica!
its inspired me to get the double eagles audio book (came in handy stuck in traffic tonight for an extra hour) quite different from the other 40k novels from what i’ve got up to so far but anything by dan abnett is going to rock
