Perfect timing!
Just Great that the show keepster in rolling in these times! Greet start to the weekend!!
Its that time of the week…yay for the Weekender.
TGIF – Happy Friday Cultists and Cultists soon to be ?
Juhu again weekender. The best that gives in the week and in the hard time. Greetings from Switzerland Stay healthy and hope that everything will be ready soon
Gerry needs to trim that beard, just shape it up a bit. Also, I’m thinking on buying KoW Shadows in the north Starter Set, I never played KoW but do any of you know whether I could also play Vanguard with the miniatures included in the box?
Thank you for your work during this crazy times, it cheers people up I’m sure!
nope, far too lazy to do that 🙂
But yes you can play vanguard with the minis in the box you can download basic lists and the rules here https://www.manticgames.com/mantic-games-free-rules/ Although there are more options available to both factions
Ooh, I hope I win!
Thanks for continuing to deliver excellent content despite the apocalypse.
I think you forgot the “For Gods sake stop putting us all to shame with your output” award that I think @panzerkaput has already won
I thought I said that, was It cut from the final edit?
I might have nodded off during that bit
You did @avernos
Great timing as our COmbat Mission games are on a bit of a hiatus right now!
That 1½ hour was over to quick
Well I finally bought Mortarion and now thinking about an airbrush. Thanks guys
Took me a long time to commit to a airbrush mainly because I was worried I’d overspend then muck everything up. Finally got a reasonably priced standard as my first 0.3mm airbrush from the online store here and it’s great. I use it for undercoating, zenith highlighting and I’m getting more confident the more I use it. It helped that I watched the beginners airbrush tutorials with John that you’ll find here on OTT. Worth a watch they helped me a lot. It does take some practice at first but when you order and your airbrush arrives you want to get it working and take it apart so you’ll enjoy getting started. If you have a lovely model like Mortarion you’ll find the airbrush can really do it justice just with the right undercoat highlighting. I hope you do give it a try and let us all know how you get on. Best of luck
i just got my first airbrush about a month ago, an Iwata Neo. Totally worth it, so much fun. Besides the case of base coating I’ve found getting transitions and highlights down is a little tricky to nail down but when I do its so rad. Oh and def get a mask. The thinner/flow improver fumes and paint particles are kinda brutal.
The Astartes fan film is just all kinds of epic!
I’m really looking forward to even more pf this.
What’s the best wargame for newcomers?
big question I have two questions.
What would your favourite genre/period be?
eg Fantasy, Sci-fi, English Civil War
How big a game would you like to play?
eg small skirmishes of 1-10 models or massive games of hundreds/thousands of figures
One you can find people to play with is always handy. Maybe check out the local groups/clubs/stores and see what people are playing in your area.
This is the most important advice when picking a game to get into. Doesn’t matter how easy a game is to pick up, or start, or how much you love the genre/models whatever. It’s a massive pain to build a local community from scratch.
Good to see my hero, Steve Harris, on the show. I remember reading an interview and Iron Maiden guitarist, Dave Murray, admitted that they used to stuff socks down the stripey spandex to try and impress the ladies.
The Sweet only ever wanted to go on top of the pops as they wanted to sleep with Pans People
Our good friday goodness.
Just back from my daily exercise and now relaxing with the weekender and a cup of tea.
Gaming Easter weekend does start now with Weekender and Tomorrow it’s Paint all the mini’s virtual Con.
You guys watching Tiger King over there? I got family in the Dallas to Oklahoma area so it was a lot of fun.
Loving the show lads keep it up!
Not loving all this free time I have & no Battletech Clans minis to paint though ?
I am actually looking forward to each show. Kind of the hobby input highlight of the week, both Friday and Sunday. Keep the show going. And keep safe.
We need daily weekenders until this lockdown malarkey is over.
Always great to listen to whilst painting!
happy weekender peoples everywhere.
Guys, thanks for opening up backstage to everyone, very nice perk during these times.
Time for some painting and weekender 😀
Great update guys. Stay safe and game on!
A great way to start the weekend!
Hmm, is it just a coincidence you put this video up the day I start looking into Flames of War?
no *guiltily switches off cameras*
You’re doing great things with your 3D printers, thank you. Great show as ever, have a fantastic weekend guys.
the dragongrin figures look stunning.
Have a good weekend everyone, glad people are still active during quarantine
Great job guys, I was under the impression that the animator for Angels of Death was brought on after making a fan-made feature on YouTube.
He was indeed. Which is cool – still not a great fan of that style, but it’s neat that they’re still making these kinds of things.
Great show lads, keep Justin safe, the nhs needs him.
Nice timing bored here in Colorado Springs!!
Sweet, sweet minis chat, oh how i’ve missed you
great show guys
Wow OnTableTop helping fight Corona!! Great job.
Hullo folks – on the subject of fan films I’d also point to Death of Hope: Anarchy Reigns. It’s much darker (not one for children with some truly dark elements) but the representation of Daemons is amazing and the armour rendering glorious.
I’ve also been painting my Imperial Guard. I’ve over a hundred I am ashamed to say that I’d intended to paint in stages but gave up the idea and I’m putting them together properly with the intent of getting them painted. I’m a bit embarrassed as they were one of the first armies I collected when I came back to the hobby and my undercoating, base coating is positively ‘Did you use a roller, or just a firehose?’ level. Ho hum.
Kudos to BoW gang. Thank you for KBO. Stay well.
I love all the animated projects coming out. I hope they’ll turn out at least decent.
loved the show.
Always a great show to watch at the end of the week!
juat what I need after a day of working from home.
I’m looking forward to that new middle earth book
It’s great that you guys are still making all this content. It’s helping keep the depression at bay.
The Weekender is now the only way I can tell what day of the week it is.
Sweet! Got my fresh Java and now you guys. A perfect day to sit back and relax after some crazy painting. 😀
Kromlech is collaborating with the Astartes film guy to produce shoulder pads etc for the Retributors chapter https://bit.ly/2K6zN0p
and i clearly should have finishes listening to that bit before posting as you already know
Best way to start the weekend
Thanks for keeping us sane.
I wish I could “hit the beach” with this weather. But here in Holland I get annoyed by ff’ing police drones watching over me. Thanks for the Weekender again folks. Keep it up.
That Astartes fan film is excellent. I only wish it was longer. Here’s to luck at winning something!
Just wanted to say thanks for helping out the frontline nurses, my own sister is a nurse working all hours. she hasn’t seen her kids now for 3 weeks and comes home exhausted. But still goes in day after day, Thanks Alyson.
Keep up the good work guys.
Please tell your sister Thank You from all of us. We are all cheering her on and are extremely grateful for her work and sacrifice in helping others before spending time with her children
Will do, thanks for taking the time to acknowledge her, keep safe out there.
The new episode of SITREP we have an interview with Piers Brand talking about Northag and can be found here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y6QMQ_k3r0
NORTHAG means Northern Army Group
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Army_Group
Thanks for marching on as you say. Amazing animation. Cant wait. Thanks for the opportunity to win a prize.
It’s the Weekend!
Isn’t it? I must admit I’m starting to lose track…
it’s the weekend already, ohh yeahh, really was looking forward to the weekender, this past week was bit rough.. game on friends
Astartes is the best 40k film I’ve see. Legions above official professional production.
agree with ben; the games workshop is pretty lame given the fan made project. if I were GW; I would bring the creative team in for some serious discussion.
I really should start painting again. Been a rough couple of weeks with the kids, but now we’re in the flow of things, painting stuff is on the cards. Maybe posting stuff here might inspire me to do more.
Great start to the weekend.
Great content and keeping use informed and entertained.
Those Astartes shorts are amazing! I love the look, sound and feel of the Astartes. So glad he used Corvus and Aquilla pattern power armor. I just think it looks better than the Mark X Primaris armor. Seeing those shorts is doing A real good job trying to pull me back to the hobby.
Great weekender.
Let’s hope GW does eventually look at these great shorts on youtube and step up their game.
Thank you for being able to keep on providing your wonderful content.
Have a good and safe weekend everyone at Beasts of War and their families.
A question before I go. I normally watch your videos here, should I be watching them on Youtube?
I look forward to this show every week.
we aim to keep you entertained 🙂
I love Astartes, its so perfectly brutal. The animation is brilliant and the sound design is amazing.
Love the Sunken Dungeon idea. Great fun!
It’s great seeing everyone making the most of this by getting thru our backlog of hobby stuff
@brennon …. And here we have a recap of one of the most moving scenes from the feature “Death At A Bard’s Funeral” at the pivotal moment that the emotional tension built up throughout was summed up with the delivery of the epic line “Its all so f!>£#ing green!”…. lol
It was quite the moment!
Weekender is the only way I know it’s a weekend as COVID Groundhog Day continues to repeat
Would love to win this!
Great show as always! Watched on YT but went here to enter the FoW comp. Glad I did as I saw the KS for the Danish WWII – backed! You guys are awesome, thank you for all your efforts!
Lots of good stuff this week!
The ‘Infinity CODE ONE Quickstart Rules’ have my interest for sure.
Also, the ‘Battlegroup Northag Preview’ was a good watch. I have the rulebook on order and just last week the SITREP Podcast Team interviewed the team behind Mortgage.
The prize this week is a good one for anyone who plays ‘Flames of War IV’.
Great show and a great prize. Win win! ??
Just rereading through all the comments and saw that Auto-correct had done me in again!
The fourth line of my comment is supposed to be, “interviewed the team behind Northag”.
Really dislike Auto-correct sometimes! ?
Happy Weekend!!
Ah, it’s so much better to enjoy this here with everyone. But in our mutual cold war with youtube, I watch it first over there for you @warzan 😀
Yeah the fan film is better. For real, I hope they make way more video content. It is a fascinating universe to explore.
Keeping us entertained during this lockdown
Flames of War por favor
My wife is starting to dread me sitting down with a cuppa on saturday mornings to watch you guys. Too much “ooh they’re nice” and “that looks cool” followed by secretive searching on google. She’s beginning to think you guys could be a bad influence… 😉
through browsing my wallet is broken, toys shall free me
Some unknown gems on the show this week guys loving the paper craft ideas.
It is now the weekend.
OK, I am starting a Halfling army for Warlords of Erehwon and have been looking for more Halflings. The Westfalia site is now making my wallet cry! Anyone know where I can get halfling children and a halfling sheriff in cart?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a halfling child, Stonehaven do a baby, I think TT combat have a carted sheriff, not sure if their Kickstarter is complete and in retail yet mind you
Yeah, in Warlords of Erehwon the Halfling army can take Halfling Urchin Swarms. I am looking for something to represent them.
best I can come up with is maybe using 15mm halflings, https://www.google.com/search?q=15mm+halflings&rlz=1C1ASRM_enGB704GB704&sxsrf=ALeKk03lxtnhTv27Xa6Dqv4WmxfRDlLw3A:1586644034104&source=lnms&tbm=shop&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiMpabQteHoAhVTURUIHX1VAMkQ_AUoAXoECA8QAw&biw=1680&bih=907
Got so confused yesterday with it being a bank holiday in the uk, where was my weekender?! It all makes sense now!
Just backed Tales from the Loop kickstarter. On that note, items from Free League Publishing are half off right now on Drive Thru RPG. I just picked up the Alien RPG Rulebook and Tales from the loop RPG for half off. Happy gaming.
yeah Tales is amazing
Just discovered this site last week while looking for more info on historical wargaming. What a lucky find!
Hope you enjoy!
So far it’s amazing! Really looking forward to picking up Clash of Spears. Watching demo games now, actually. ?
oh Clash is amazing, I was thinking of doing a book flick through on it.
It looks awesome; I bought the PDF and have been reading the rules and watching demos all day.
Will watch!
I need more filmed content to help me enslave/recruit others to the greatness of ‘Clash of Spears’.
So Gerry’s job interview for Kickstarter Correspondent went pretty well! ?
Another great show guys..happy Weekender and stay safe
thanks mates
another great weekender
Glad you guys are still putting out awesome content. Stay safe all.
Not watched these guys in years, not sure why I ever stopped. Definitely back on it now
I`m so looking forward to the Quest for the Ring book, narrative play always makes for less stressfull games
@tomsche69 it could / should work the other way round. If at the end of the game you just pack away all your dead guys and go home, knowing that you start afresh next time, the outcome doesn’t matter.
If you know you have to carry on into the next game only with the survivors (or with the equipment) you have after any given scenario, it can really ramp up the tension!
If you’re just contrasting games which focus on the narrative with hard core tournament play though, I guess that’s a different kind of stress, and one that I can see is not for everyone!
another fanatic prize on the weekender
Happy Easter everyone.
Thanks for helping keep the spirits up.
Whisky only goes so far before it messes with the painting..
Thanks for doing your bit with the 3-d printing, excellent community spirit.
The Weekender…………. Helping to keep the world sane !
Nice show as always guys
Great video as usual. Thanks for keeping up the amazing content during lockdown!
I’ve been wanting to get into Flames of War, and this would be the perfect start. Onward to 100k subs!
Its the weekend!
I’ve been hearing a lot about the 40k fan films lately. I’ll have to check it out.
Watching the show right now. My week-end has just really started!
(And it’s going to end with bleach to wash my eyes, because of this Steve Harris/cucumber thing!)
Great show, I have to get some of those Halfling Goat Cavalry!
Great show guys. I just started watching Tales from the Loop on Amazon with my girlfriend last night (albeit from different locations)… Will have to have a look at the board game.
She’s doing some miniature painting today, and doing a great job overcoming some hideous mold lines.
Love this show and all things gaming and it’s always a great start to the weekend!
I preferred the fan made 3D film over the GW one. I really didn’t like the Black and White style, it felt like a poor man’s film.
Sunken Dungeon looked like it would be fun to play with the kids. It would also be great as a stop motion resource. Using the cut outs to make a short animated film, which would be another good task to keep the youngsters occupied.
Hut the Beach is a great prize, as starter sets go it one of my favorites. It’s rammed chock full of goodies and the price point makes it an absolute steal.
Amazing video as usual, thanks for keeping up the great content during lockdown!
I already have the starter set. But if I won one, I’d give it to a friend to encourage their interest in Flames of War.
Just reminded me, I have some goat cavalry somewhere. I think I need to dig it out ?
Thank you for allowing me to invade your space every Saturday. Can wait to storm into the conversation with you all tomorrow. You all are like my awesome starter box to my weekend hobby time!
I love the Tales from the Loop art work. Seriously considering backing. The paper craft cloud dungeon is a great idea and the compassion shown by the guy offering sponsored copies etc is really awesome and part of why we all love and appreciate this hobby and it’s community. Apart from alpha strike meta fiends, but you always have those. ?
Just back into gaming but never looked at FOW, not sure if my dodgy eyes can go to 15mm. But if I won’t copy I’d give it a go!
It means alot to us that yall would be apart of the project to print those mask clips. I’m overseas in USA but thank you on behalf of the healthcare workers there
I absolutely love Astartes. And I might give Code One a go, I was thinking of looking into Infinity anyway
Gimmie dats FoW.
Found this channel just couple month ago and now i’m waiting for it every week.
Westfalia minis are looking great. The skeletons look amazing and could be a great addition to a number of games. Frostgrave seems like an obvious choice.
Great stuff again guys! Would love to have a go at flames of war, looks interesting!
As usual great show guys! Even got me some Middle a Earth Love in this one! Those Rangers look good and I’m definitely getting that book and the previous one that announced the best of Middle Earth in White Dwarf compilation. See you tomorrow!
Great stuff as usual guys! I really need to get a spring clean project started! But I keep jumping between projects.. on the painting table now there are, flames of war, 40k galore, Malifaux, Massive darkness, Specter, Mythic battles:Pantheon, Joan of arc, lord of the rings and even some space hulk guys.. I need to start finishing projects! But how? There is so much cool stuff!
Liked the sunken dungeon Kickstarter, will have to heck that one out
wanted to check FOW for a while, heres hoping!
great content – appreciate you guys!
opps
Yay , got activated. now time to watch the vid 🙂
Still loving the content and that it keeps coming – keeping us sane through the lockdown!
Great show as always. @avernos Thank you so much for mentioning Black Hussar Miniatures. I had been trying to find those Napoleonic Persians for ages.
The fantasimal four.
Another Great Weekender and looking forward to seeing the Battlegroup Northag rulebook. Nice that you’re supporting the local services with items that will make their lives easier.
It’s Saturday evening and now my weekend starts. looking forward to viewing the weekender.
if my fdm printer didn’t just die recently i’d definitely be printing to help out!. sadly i’m not very well educated in the was of fixing machines. gutted.
absolutely love astartes!! but surprisingly after that trailer video GW put out on the weekend i’m actually really looking forward to blood angels show! yes ben is right about the faces of some of the characters looking a bit wooden but it’s the guy who’s making it style. i’m super interested to see the ship captain, from what i’ve seen so far she could be my favourite character.
i might have to buy a copy of the flames of war starter set, i’m super interested in FoW and i know my mate would also be be he’s refusing to spend money on anything that is not 40k. so it looks like it is down to me to convince him otherwise! i’m sure once he see’s me painting some up he’ll change his mind.
Thanks for supporting the industry and us!
Great to see the Infinity Code 1 stuff featured.
Love the sound of Sunken Dungeon. Would’ve missed it if not for the show.
have fun with your crayons 😀
Oi! I am allowed felt tips! ?
Keep on trucking!
Hit the beach would be great. Then I can learn to play FoW using those solo mplay missions they put out recently. I’ve been tempted to buy it but I can’t justify it with so much else to work on. As a prize though that’d be awesome, especially if I end up on furlough.
Why should anybody want to hit the beach? Poor bugger is bad of with all the asses sitting on it every day….
…did I win? 😉
Astartes is amazing, great stuff.
Just watched the first two episodes of the Tales from the Loop, then I switched to weekender and… wow. Despite the situation there’s still much going on around our hobby.
Stay safe guys!
With regard to the ‘Eagle and Frodo’ combo that Gerry suggested…
The War of Ring board game by Ares has two promo cards in Warriors of Middle Earth expansion.
‘Fly You Fools’ allow the Fellowship player to use an eagle to fly a frodo to Cracks of Doom and win the game.
‘I Was Sent To Bear Tidings, Not Burdens’ allows the Shadow player to search the Fellowships hand for ant card with eagle, or eagles and permanently remove it from the game… if the card is ‘Fly You Fools’ the Shadow player wins immediately.
Obviously they are not intended to be used as it would take the challenge from the game, but they are amusing.
The Decipher LotR card game introduced alternate ring bearers with their 9th set – Reflections. Typically corrupted a lot faster and you needed good synergy to keep them going, but was an interesting take. Galadriel, Gandalf, Gimli, Boromir, Faramir, Elendil, and some others were all options.
Fun game, 16 years gone now (!). Still pull it out sometimes when my son is home.
Super happy to see the Astartes videos getting coverage. They have been a great and I always look forward to the next.
Got my fingers crossed for Open Fire! since I’m currently building 4 armies for Mid war in an attempt to get a local group for Flames of War. It was you guys that got this Canadian hooked on Flames of War some 8 years ago, and now that I’ve bit the bullet I hope I roll a 6. Cheers from the Great White North!
Great show.
Love the new Infinity box.
The simpler rules is a good idea. It is a lot if you want to play the full version.
Commenting to win…hopefully!
Ah the weekender. My only dose of sanity these days….. well, what passes for sanity…..
Astartes vids are soooooo cool.
Been a while since I’ve been on the site; school got busy but I’m all caught up now! Glad to see you guys are keeping on going. Nice to have something to paint my monumental backlog to.
Another great episode. Flames of War looks like a great game. I have been trying to get into the game for years. Maybe now it’s the right time to jump aboard.
I’m glad the Astartes channel was able to recover their channel after being hacked. bit sad that youtube didn’t react quickly to resolve it though.
Great show. I got confused on the days, what with Friday being a bank holiday and all and arrived a day late for this. And great pick for indie of the week, love Westfalia’s stuff.
Love the look of the Westfalia Miniatures.
Good on you guys for helping out with providing the local PPE support. I’m very happy to see some of my favorite small companies stepping up to help; 4Ground and you all in the UK, and Wyrmwood here in the states.
THANK YOU… @beastsofwar!
I LOVE what the Astartes guy is doing. it’s clean, well animated, with a deep knowledge of existing lore. I also love the noir look of the GW animation, but the character modeling is disappointing. It’s sad when one guy in his basement (not sure if the location is true) and a Patreon account is out doing whatever studio GW is paying to do the work.
I also can’t wait to see the final rules and expanded catalog for Code One. This is perfect for my son and I but we aren’t fans of the factions in this starter.
Happy Weekender boys and girls. Hope everyone is doing as best they can at the moment.
As I watched the latest Weekender, I enjoyed the content. I did want to ask as you all were looking at Kickstarters, if you happened to see the one Great Escape Games started on April 9 for Danish WW2 28mm minis. It looks awesome. You can check it out at http://kck.st/2yFYVIC
By the way, the Hit the Beach set is how I wished the old Open Fire had been done when I got into V3 Flames of War.
it’s in the news section at the moment
There may be better things out there than the upcoming GW stuff animation wise.
But I still think the quality of what’s coming looks excellent and can’t wait to see more!
Either way, Astartes was still excellent!
I’m liking the Friday night slot. It means I can have a beer while watching without feeling guilty it’s Saturday morning!
Cracking that bordom. …got lots done…sat watched tv….ate lunch …watched more tv lol
Yet again @avernos has emptied my wallet! Westfalia Games for RPG miniatures. So glad the misses has not seen the female minis or we would be selling the ?.
Glad to see more of the community offering free stuff so we can keep the kids occupied.This also counts as education, reading, writing , creativity , number sequence, social interaction, British values all the things that Ofsted look for. Teaching is not just sitting in a classroom repeating facts!
Keep safe and well people.
Great stuff as per normal. Looking forward to Code One.
Oh my flipping Godlike being, Thanks for the Spring Challenge shout as I am totally honoured and buzzed by it. There are some amazing projects out there too
I was put onto the GW fan film by some friends at work and was very doubtful of how cool it was going to the. ‘yeah yeah yeah, its a great universe but makes for shite films and shorts’ my word! how wrong I was
I can’t wait for more Astartes videos, they are epic! Looking forward to seeing more of the official film too, can’t go past Tyranids.
Watched all the astartes clips back to back and was blown away by the atmosphere the creator has been able to portray. The lack of dialogue definitely adds to the drama. Bet the staff at GW sat up and are paying attention to this.
I was getting worried about the lack of the Weekender at the start of the weekend, then I realised it was only Thursday evening. CoronaTime is messing with my perceptions!
Happy weekend!
Thanks for putting Westfalia back on my radar guys!
See you on XLBS
I’ve been building a lot of Team Yankee this week, but a busy and I have been talking about Flames of War as well.
You see, he recently turned 40…
Would love to see Frostgrave in the OTT store, along with Oathmark and Clash of Spears. We need some more historical and fantasy figures and these games would be great jump off points for them in my view.
Great video as ever with some cool hobby updates, thanks all 🙂
I really enjoy the Westfalia stuff. I think their Halfling army was my first kickstarter.
The hit the beach starter is great. Always great to start the weekend with ah show from you guys!!
Good to hear that you are Soldiering in in these troubling times!
Grate to hear you are Soldiering on and helping in these troubling times!
I have to say, whilst things like Astartes, Death of Hope and the Helsreach series felt like loving fan projects dedicated to Warhammer 40,000: GW has two distinct disadvantages that it needs to overcome with this.
Firstly, it feels like they are a little late to the party. With many of these famous fan projects well underway or finished, they seem to be trying anything and everything to see what sticks in an attempt to catch up and have official stuff to play in the same arena. This is resulting in some very different styles being brought to the table all at once (Angels of Blood of course but they have also announced Hammer & Bolter which is practically an anime as well as the hints we got about a Night Lords animation and something based on the kids Warhammer books as well). I think this will lead to a very Marmite offering in the beginning where a lot of people are going to like something, but not everyone is going to like everything. Hopefully they keep at it to hold fans interest.
Secondly, they are a big company so the expectations are going to be different. During the second Warhammer Live, one of the creators from Warhammer Story Forge described the scenes being shows as from “the mid season climax”. Seems like they are going all in in Angels of Blood being a series? That is a lot to get right as I imagine people will be a lot more forgiving of independent creators being have-a-go heroes on YouTube over the owners themselves making a “real” product.
If they can rise to those challenges, hopefully there will be something that everyone can enjoy coming out of this.
Thank you for the show
Whoop Whoop, happy Easter weekend!
Watch the weekender every week and finally joined over here 🙂 great, fun videos – keep up the brilliant work and stay safe!
Westfalia is great. Interesting to see a lot of these companies starting 3d print options. Raging Heroes started one this month also.
GW would be smart to hire the Astartes guy to make films for them.
Doing a better job at entertainment than HIGNFY right now 🙂
Bank holiday weekender too! Fabius bile looks great and really enjoying the extra tv stuff gw seems to be about to try and cash in on.
happy weekender keep safe you all
Really great video! Hopefully win something! Haha
I didn’t like the style of the new strangely coloured GW clip, either.
Maybe i am just to old, but all this fast cuts really annoy me.
But good to see you rocking on!
Thanks for keeping the show going at this time – been watching the show for many years and always entertaining!
The Astartes fan movie has set a standard in 40k animatoon that will be hard to beat.
Watched on YouTube came over here to leave a comment and ended up watching it again lol love 5he show guys
Happy Weekender a bit late on my part.
great to watch your show. I am painting Deadzone Ratkin models while listening and watching to your show.
Got here late, keep up the good work boys.
What a class organization, helping out our hospital staffers. Proud to be associated with you.
I have to agree with the comment that this FOW starter set is one of the best. I first bought the El Alamein set and it was a good set to start the desert war, but it lacked infantry witch is half of the game mechanics missing. I also bought two sets of the Fury boxed set at a sale. Once again infantry missing. This Hit the beach set has got everything covered: tanks,infantry and even some artillery. I think the perfect mix to learn the whole rules without additional purchases. Thanx guys for your great content on such a wide range of wargames, we here in the colonies (I am from South Africa) depend on people like you to keep us up to speed. your Youtube videos are the one thing I look forward to each day. Even more so during the lockdown time. Keep up the good stuff.
Great isolation relief!
Thanks for the great show, stay healthy.
It’s amazing that you guys are printing those mask adapters for medical professionals! That’s really amazing that you are doing that! I’d love to help you guys with a few sheckles to help with material costs. How can I do that?
As always, great episode! Keep up the great work!
Great that you can keep the weekenders coming out during this time
