This time around we're going to be taking a look at a choice by Warren for Indie Of The Week. We're looking at the work of Adrian's Walls who produce a selection of awesome terrain for throughout the ages.
As well as producing terrain they also offer services where they paint up your terrain for you.

Plastic blood and plunder? Interesting!
I’m super excited about the new Privateer Press game, although I do think the models have a very Infinity inspired look.
For those that are interested, they will be showing off gameplay on their Twitch channel (https://www.twitch.tv/privateerpress/) on Feb 25th at 10am PST where a couple of staff members will be playing a match. They also did a broadcast last week covering some initial information about the game, https://www.twitch.tv/videos/554543351
good show guys love the giveaway this week could really do with this one 😉
Gor(e) the Barbarian? Is that his name or just a suggestion? 😜
“If you like your Cold War gone Hot” – what if people prefer their Cold Wars lukewarm? 😜
Surely ‘Adrian’s Wall is just how they pronounce Hadrian’s Wall up by the actual wall? 😉
Taking the Crusade game on tour – how about visiting various clubs across the UK and Ireland? Know I’d be interested if you visited my local club one week. 😉
Crusaders vs Spiders rules: how about Saga? Use the Crusader lists for the Crusaders obviously and one of the Age of Magic lists for the spiders.
There are still Cadians out there Warren – the Cadian regiments were stationed all throughout the galaxy so there are still millions of them out there. Plus not all Cadian minis are Cadians; canon is that countless worlds throughout the Imperium use the same style armour and weapons as the Cadians.
The name you’re looking for Ben is Gazkull Margaret Thatcher.
😜
Giveaway this week looks great. The maps are really nice and versatile, and Terrain Crate always looks good.
If it makes you feel better about recognising Dark Crystal from just ‘Gelfling’ Gerry, I recognised it too despite never having seen the film. 😛
Is it just me, or does the dwarf controlling the blacksmith mech bare an uncanny resemblance to Big Ben from 4Ground? 🤔 😉
You’re probably thinking of Critical Role with the name ‘Grog the Barbarian’ Warren.
On the topic of scaffolding on 3D printing – if you were printing scaffolding terrain would you need scaffolding for it? 🤔😜
Speaking of scaffolding – if you’re printing a building, mech, etc to use as terrain it would be interesting to see if you could work the print scaffolding into being scaffolding, gantries, etc as part of the piece.
My girlfriend just started DMing for her friends at university. The Dungeon Delving Book and Terrain Crate would be prefect for her because of the limited space in the dorms.
Why not use the spider rules from GWs Middle Earth game
Yes, winning Terrain and a book of dungeon Maos Sounds awesome
Wondering if the blood and plunder plastics would be compatible with ghost archipelago crewmen box for more veraity
Well bit the bullet and bought a printer. Fun times ahead.
Awesome episode. Like many others, forgot that this was on Fridays now. Good stuff.
Very cool. I know @dignity is a huge Commissar Cain fan so Valhallan’s are very cool to see.
Loving the Dungeon Battle Mats books, why has no-one done this before? No more faffing about folding sh*t up, or big bulky boards, brilliant. Might have to dig out the old “Heroquest” and create a few new scenarios for these. Must have.
good episode. still haven’t made up my mind on the new time and format.
would like to see some more let’s play games.
No free stl for me, as I already have him. I’m very impressed with Titan-Forge and the others that I have subscriptions for. I’ve enjoyed the show, lots of interesting stuff to investigate when I’ve got the time. I liked the mat for walking dead and it looked good with the buildings on it, I would need a bigger one – the camera was fine for me this week maybe I just had a bad day last week 😀
I never really liked the term ‘grognard’. I prefer ‘chronoisseur’. 😁
Loving the Friday night posting of the Weekender.
Love mantic terrain pieces. Beautiful utility models that it’s never a bad thing to own.
Am loving the free 3d printer files, havent got one yet, but its something i really wanna do, currently im slowly building up a folder of free 3d printer files.
The detailed discussion of scaffolding was really informative and it reinforces that currently 3d printing is not something I want to explore. I find my hobby tasks such as painting and playing are so time pressured at the minute I just don’t have the time.
Another great show, and another awesome prize. My gaming group would love it.
Another Great Weekender and looking forward to seeing the new Firelock Games kickstarter.
First up I have I really like the new intro to the show, it’s very nicely done.
Regarding Blood and Plunder, going plastic is great news but what’s better is the prospect of a two player starter set. I’ve always fancied trying this game at the club, but putting together enough for two factions so I could demo the game to generate interest is currently a bit prohibitive cost wise. With a two start set and ships in plastic would make that much more doable.
Love the new look of the show. I cant believe how good that 3d barbarian looks
Hi guys, would love that RPG map book! just getting the kids into d&d and its going great! 🙂
Love the spider story (and those old Warhammer Quest spiders!), and glad to see the Middle East not being portrayed as all desert either. The area from Acre to Jerusalem is not desert. (One of the many things that annoyed me about Kingdom of Heaven was it being filmed in a country / in terrain that looked nothing like the place it was supposed to be.)
