Weekender: Infinity CODE ONE Looking Ace & Join Our Spring Cleaning Hobby Challenge!
March 20, 2020 by crew
We're still powering on with the OnTableTop Weekender, albeit in a very different way and we will be endeavouring to entertain you over these next few weeks/months with plenty of tabletop goodness.
The focus of this weekend is to kick off the Spring Cleaning Hobby Challenge 2020 which has you delving into your collection and working on making new what was old!
Listen To The Podcast Here
COVID-19 Update
To begin with, we wanted to let you know that Store.OnTableTop is still going strong and we've put measures in place so that we can continue to ship out and deliver products to you. So, you can still rely on us to get you your hobby supplies.
Check Out Store.OnTableTop
Also, we've opened up our Discord Server so that everyone can join in and break through the barrier of feeling isolated if they so desire.
To Access the chat server click this link: https://discord.gg/x5WEx3S
Here is a guide we created to help you work out how to use it: CoG Discord User Manual
We chat hobby and all sorts and it is well worth checking it out so that you can share your thoughts with like-minded hobbyists.
Events Cancelled; A Call To Vendors & Content Creators
Considering that two big events have already been cancelled and UK Games Expo has been pushed back until August (more details here) we thought it would be a good idea to try and repurpose the Projects system.
We are now trying to work on a way for companies and creators to share their work and potentially gain some sales that they would have missed out on due to the cancellation of events.
Exhibitors Fill Out This Form
Content Creators Fill Out This Form
We are looking to try and bring together what effectively works as a virtual convention where exhibitors and content creators can collaborate to share their new releases and fun content!
Indie Of The Week
In keeping with that spirit, we also wanted to share a smaller independent creator that Ben is very fond of. Here we have a peek at the range from Oathsworn Miniatures.
This company has built quite the amazing Burrows & Badgers range which also includes some sterling Terrain too. Also, if animals aren't your thing they also do a great selection of Sensible Shoes miniatures, female adventurers for skirmish and roleplaying games. We think you'll find something to love from their collection!
News
Despite COVID-19, the world keeps turning and we catch up with the news from this week...
- Operation Kaldstrom - A new Battle Pack and a new way to play Infinity

It’s the Weekender! Yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God for normality!
Really happy to see your faces on the screen.
Gerrys beard has a halo!
As it was meant to be
time to start spring projects.
Looking forward to what you have in mind!
‘Tis the Weekende, and ye corona plague has forced familyes into hiding in their dwellings with little to do but playe past-tymes while otherwise avoiding contact and discourse.
But lo, a wandering company of players has appeared to perform for us…
lol awsome
Quick, that’s Warren – hide the twyce-baked goods from down-under…
…And that’s Gerry – locke up your wives and daughters…
Uh-oh – what does that Lloyde keep staring at my arse for?
Oh shyte, locke up the livestock, they’ve got Justyn and he’s off the leash!
Its like watching a bizarre version of the Brady Bunch
lol
Roflmao! My wife both thought that also!
Looks like my RPG nights are screwed… thanks to Covid-19.
Two players can Skype in, but the third is computer illiterate.
Going to try Savage Worlds on sunday as we were working towards a break so that I could run Odyssey of the Dragonlords in 5e… don’t want to run D&D over skype with two players, so this could be our last game for a while.
If anyone knows any dice free RPG’s for Skype then please let me know.
Hope the Savage Worlds goodness goes well – great system indeed.
Well is unlikely. The party are displaced from a post apocalyptic time (bit like the world we live in now, shortage of essentials like toilet rolls and food, but more monsters) into our modern world and they still react like they are fighting for survival. Last week they shot some rich civilians… in Chicago… they’re likely to shoot at police as they escape… and american police are notoriously tolerant of such things… it’s likely to end up in a TPK. In answer to my own question about diceless RPG… first thing that popped into my mind when I woke was… Read more »
Savage Worlds is a great RPG system.
We enjoy it here. ?
Jacobs makes a U-boat miniature. It must be a cracker!
its red dwarf an the five Hollys.
@warzan Okay, so am I right in saying that all the previous Spring Clean Challenges are in the mix from last year using the Related Content link when creating our projects?
Are guys supposed to pick up their old ones or start new one?
Start new ones if they can – although by its very nature, if you didn’t complete something the first time around then it is effectively a Spring Clean too.
@brennon Just wanted to make sure we wouldn’t need to use a new related content as there are already around 40 wit a fair few from last year hehe and if you needed to separate them later it would make more work for you guys.
Happy weekend all! First time watching on a Friday night! Looking forward to seeing everyones spring cleaning 🙂 I’m a massive Space Wolf fan, but not too happy with the new boxed set. Love Ragnar, my favourite 40k character… but I dont need a giant Ork, a bunch of Nobz, and more Infiltrators… Its annoying that all the other new characters have been sold alone (apart from Blood of the Phoinex). If the box had been more interesting I wouldnt have maybe minded as much… Not much Space Wolfy in this aside from the man himself. But will see if… Read more »
It shouldn’t be overly long until Ragnar is available later on down the line by himself
I hope so… but with the eldar it was a bout 6 months! Tough to wait that long without him in my collection…. that sits in a case and does nothing!!!! ha
🙂
Was worried for a moment as Gerry had that glow that only dead jedis get at the end of a movie.
Those English Civil War look great, very tempting.
They are very fascinating and in a scale that I don’t normally get excited about.
Get well soon Ryan,
Repeat the following:
Take a large glass
Frost the rim with castor sugar or oil
Add a slice lemon
Add a teaspoon of cloves
Remove the lemon and push the cloves into it
This is a health and safety warning ( your last)
Replace the lemon
Add a half glass of boiling water
Add a spoon full of honey
Top up the glass to the brim with boiling water
Drink
If you can read this then repeat
If not then go to a warm bed
Method of heating bed will not be specified
Kick this thing and come back better for it.
Good luck mate.
Friday means….. It’s Weekender time, woop!
a great show guys at these trying times.
ohhh yeahh, the weekender all is well in the world..
Might be an idea to do a webform for any of the Demo games that were due to attend these cancelled shows so they can give some play the game at home or local club (if that’s allowed at the time) and then give us some nice shiney photos to inspire us all (and tempt us into making some purchases)?
After all they also are part of the wargaming show experience and have in the past driven me into making an impulse purchase and start a whole new scale/period 🙂
There is a virtual wargames show in April called Paint all my minis
https://youtu.be/Snf96hOFdaI
Yup I saw that, not sure about the £7.50 “tickets” tho (seems a bit large compared to running the costs of a normal show. Renting Halls, table/chairs and insurance). I’m sure there’s costs involved in trying this “virtual” convention, but £7.50 spent of a “ticket” means £7.50 not spent with a vendor. HOWEVER it’s early days yet and there might be more coming down the road to warrant it all (as it was only announced this weekend, and it’s all a rush), so it’s probably too early to pooh pooh the scheme. But at the end of the day Paint… Read more »
@warzan – I know you guys are doing it tough.
Could a web form be created so that those CoGs that want (and are able) to, can increase the amount they pay each month?
Certainly being this far away (NZ), I’d like to support you more but want to keep my physical purchases local to support the local economy.
It could be a temporary thing for some, so being able to reduce it back to a minimum of the current rate would be baked in.
I was thinking along the same lines, or perhaps something where we could maybe “gift” a month to those who might not have one. Giving more people access to the all the older backstage content if they stuck at home!
That could be an option on the form. BoW used to offer that but it was a manual process to change things in the background to up the billing amount.
I was hoping they could automate things. Some people might want to give a big one off donation, some a slightly bigger trickle. I was hoping for some flexibility for the customer.
Might be an idea for those gamers who might lose their jobs over the next few months while all this is going on. Problem is it’s hard to ask for such publicly, and people might not want to add details to a list here at BoW. Best thing might be to just keep an eye out locally with your local club/gaming group. And if anyone is having a hard time financially you could just “gift” them a month or two of backstage (you could point out all the tutorials behind the backstager pass might be useful for painting). It’s a… Read more »
It was an option to gift a Backstage Pass that BoW used to offer, that was all handled in the background. Subs may have been offered to people that had to drop off Backstage first and BoW would put out a message that they had Passes to gift if people would like them, just message one of the staff. Under the suggestion I’m making, a problem comes when the person that gifted the Pass drops the amount they pay, resulting in the gifted Pass disappearing on someone. I write this from the perspective of a monthly CoG payer. I know… Read more »
I’ve never had the opportunity to participate in a Hobby Challenge, but with nothing but time on my hands this will be the perfect one to do. I have a couple armies for Batman Miniatures Game, Monsterpocalypse, Marvel Crisis Protocol that are in various stages of painting. Not to mention terrain and Kickstarter board games. I’m not sure where to begin.
HI hello and Having a lovely time stuck in my flat.
windows open, thank god, winter time hasnt hit yet. lol
It seems it’s the same everywhere, stay home, stay safe.
So for Ben it’s not that different in the weekender.
we tried to make him come to the studio for it, but he refused.
Well your weekender was different, still like to see you doing your thing and keeping us updated. Hope things go well, so we can see you all back in the studio together once more. Spring Clearing, “Laughing Out Loud”. We have a thing at my club, which is if you play, you must paint before you game. So i have, so MUCH, i wouldn’t know where to start. But always like the idea of just Starting a new and its one of the reasons i have so much lol. If i was to showed you my room of armies, you’d… Read more »
Must admit after five mins thought of…..

Where things have just gone horribly, HORRIBLY wrong (a nightmare “Where are they now” article) 😀
Loved how you did the show guys, don’t alter the format until you’re back in the studio, it was great seeing you all react just as we do watching you
Brilliant!
Woot! Indie of the week! Fame at last… 🙂
And the online show idea to support the industry is a great idea! I’ve filled in the form…
Thanks guys – you’re heroes!
I don’t think Ben could have coped if your dwarfs were still available! Really must paint mine. Keep up the good work, guys!
Indeed the “Indie of the week” feature is probably my favourite news article that they’ve added to the weekender format. It’s so nice to see other companies getting some of the hobby headlines that are usually dominated by the “big boy” in the industry 🙂
The king of the forest folk
Thanks for the show. You chatted up spring cleaning so much last week I have been working again my Firelock kickstarter pirate figures this week (2 hero’s and 5 others, about 90% done). My order of a Kangaroo APC with a squad of their new desert rider figures from Victoria Miniatures for 40K arrived yesterday; can’t wait to get stuck in. But most important is to sit on the computer later to be sure to score the new Ghazghkull box set when pre-orders open later (sorry guys wish I could support your store, me live wrong side of pond). I… Read more »
