The Weekender: Wargaming Outside & 40K Space Wolf Flyer!
July 26, 2014 by dignity
As the title suggests this one's a bit of a crazy one! We're talking about gaming outdoors since it's nice and sunny right about now, that rather interesting looking Space Wolf flyer (Stormfang / Stormwolf) and the rules surrounding it and even a bit on Dropzone Commander's Resistance faction and the massive Infamy Kickstarter!
Some of you might have seen there was also a rather ace reveal of the new X-Wing for Star Wars Episode VII and there's a Ghostbusters celebration coming up! We do like our proton packs here at Beasts of War!
You can also get your hands on the awesome Wayward 8 Mercenary box for Wild West Exodus by commenting on Beasts of War, Facebook, and on YouTube!
Wild West exodus looks amazing
A couple of us are looking for a new game. So… WWE.
not another game to play
Just picked up the rule book – so yes please
I am enjoying the number of Skirmish level games that are now on the market. Brings back great memories of many a School Summer Holiday playing Necromunda and Gorkamorka.
Really enjoying seeing more and more of the Infamy universe as each stretch goal are unlocked.
Side note, the Wayward 8 are fantastic looking.
I have a mental image of my Dust SSU helicopter being blown into the sea. Gaming outside: nice idea but I think I’ll pass.
Watching this as I paint! 🙂
Sam’s hat is something a bit special isn’t it!?
Another great vid guys!!
FLGS owner is talking about getting WWE in stock. Warrior nation stuff looks interesting.
my hobby isnt in the modelling , its in the playing of the game.
hahahaha Justin “infamy infamy”…..but you don’t like Fork Handles??? You can never say something was “before my time” again!!! hahahaha
Best way to enjoy the weekend… Painting and watching the Weekender!
As to outside i’m in the process of building some 4 by 4 raised beds one of which I am going to use as an outside gaming table… Going to fill it with a mixture of soil and sand enabling me to tamp down roads etc…. Great show look forward to albs on the morrow after I get back from Firestorm games in Cardiff….
For me the new Space Wolves flyer is at first glance big fyling blind spot. If the cockpit has windows this means to me their desinged to look through. But with the cockpit so far on the back part of the flyer you won’t be able to see a lot below you although you have several anti-ground weapons… Anyone else tend to call that a design error? ^^ Anyway I might pick up one (but not soon) and I think about converting it into helicopter. The late descendant of an AH-64 Apache and CH-47 Chinook. Don’t know yet if it… Read more »
*through gritted teeth*.. well done Major Dutch! lol
The only word to describe the giveaway?
“Shiny!”
Great show. Good attempt at the outdoor gaming, wind is both a curse inside and outside for gamers.
I see what you did there! 😛
nice show guys
Outdoor gaming: find a sheltered spot that still affords a decent view.
DZC: the Resistance flyer is a rough amalgam of these, mostly the A10 but with a hint of F86 as well:

As for the big hovercraft, it is mostly an LCAC with bolted on weapons:

The Americans are not the only people with beasts like that:

I really want to get into Wild West Exodus 🙂
Justin is wrong! There is nothing more interesting to talk about than Infamy lol. Wolsung has just concluded a very successful KS with 490 backers and $109k. With two weeks to go Infamy has 617 backers and £60 (just over $100k). That suggests there’s definitely a big market for steampunk out there which is a long way off being saturated. I’m not sure how well the minis would cross over between the two but MAS terrain would definitely be useable in both games. You’d only need to set up one board, grab a handful of minis, and you could be… Read more »
*£60k not £60 lol
Nice one guys, keep up the good work. 🙂
Another great episode!
