The Weekender: The Mantic Open Day & Gaming In the Gaps
May 11, 2013 by warzan
Video Sponsors: Warmachine - Kings of War
We're back for another episode of the Weekender where we talk all things awesome. As you can see we've had a week filled with Daemons but also the start of DreadBall Academy with the awesome James M. Hewitt and Warren.
As well as DreadBall Academy we'll be discussing the Mantic Open Day which is full of promise, upcoming High Elf Warhammer Fantasy content and also a sad farewell to the king of stop-motion animation, Ray Harryhausen.
We even have some fun ideas for some Gaming in the Gaps with a look at quick pick up games like DreadBall, X-Wing and the newly announced High Command from Privateer Press.

Farewell to the King of Stop-Motion Monsters

In terms of Dwarfs and Runes they don’t trust magic that is uncontrolled. So the Winds of Magic. Magic that is trapped within the runes and can be bent to their will on the other hand is perfectly fine. So Dwarfs do actually use magic, but under much more strict guidelines.
So in that case both the weapon and the rune could be considered to be magical at that point.. But, once a rune on a weapon has extinguished it will still be useable as a bloody good axe.

Ming the Infantile, Ming the Impotent, Ming the Imbecilic, Ming the Irradiated…
Has anyone suggested Ming the Irrumator yet ?
A bit bookish, perhaps, but a favorite of mine…
Can we use nothus when we get to N. Romans you go the house.
I enjoyed this weekender quite much, it was more tame than the others, but the chemistry between the hosts is really nice.
The Slay sounds great
I mean the Sleigh, but then again it could be the Slaying Sleigh
Justin we love yah! No really, you do a fine job keeping the place running.
The reason its harder to get east to west (west to east) is the M25…
“Many phenomena — wars, plagues, sudden audits — have been advanced as evidence for the hidden hand of Satan in the affairs of Man, but whenever students of demonology get together the M25 London orbital motorway is generally agreed to be among the top contenders for Exhibit A.”
– Sir Terry Pratchett.
Its hard to travel in either direction and avoid it, but much easier to head north without getting on the M25 then it is for a lot of the country to head east or west
East to west tends to be hard due to a little thing called the Pennine Mountains. lol
Good work in getting this out before heading up to Mantic day (which was an absolute, unalloyed blast!)
Met Justin outside the Open Day while he was indulging in darker habits, however I hadn’t seen this video or else I’d have happily stalked Justin and Mike all day.
Darker habits? Is he a shady monk?
Open day was fab, cheers for the tickets dudes
Was really nice to see you guys at Mantics open day. A bit more notice and I will ensure I am ready for Nottingham town action. If you are reading this via phone, hope you have a great night and PM me when any of you are up this way and the first round will be on me……. Oh saucy young man!! 😛 hehe

I do like Warren, but it was good to a week without “Ming jokes” – does anyone else think how he treats Justin boarders on workplace bullying?
I think that Justin really likes the attention tbh. It’s the “treat him mean, keep him keen” sort of psychology that always lights his little face up. 😀 It is a well know fact that Justin was Irelands top Hide and seek champion of 1939. He had risen to this esteemed honour by hiding for 6 years, despite a huge regiment of Red caps as additional searchers!! Rumour had it that he disguised himself as a barrel brush for a churchill tank by combing his beard up over his face!! He is one sneaky fellow is our Justin, he looks… Read more »
It does make me uneasy as well. Its about the only aspect of BOW that seems a bit out of place especially considering their high production values in all other aspects of the site. Warrens great value (and a natural presenter) without the sometimes cringe worthy abuse of J. As psychoticstorm says I thought J and Stu worked really well together. They seemed to help each other along without overtly undermining each other. Refreshing. I think Stus wide eyed look to camera when J misses his point or says something unusual are comedy gold. Really appreciate BOW putting these out… Read more »
It was great to meet you guys at the open day and thanks for giving demyse the tickets and thanks to my man for giving me his spare
Can’t believe there’s no mention of the Robotech RPG Tactics Kickstarter!?!!?? It’s got 6 days left and there’s room for more stretch goals ( number of backers and amount backed )!

Hey there BOW-Justin as always and Greetings BoW-Stuart….good to know you. (The Magnificent Justin – sporting quite a magnificent beard!…. almost a magnificent as mine, but not so scruffy perhaps…form your own pictures in your heads, please. ) Something tells me BoW-Stuart has seen Disney’s The Jungle Book a few too many times. I detect the influence of fatherly duties of watching said animated movie with kids , a few too many times. (not a critique of any kind, btw. Quite an admirable notch in your belt – more like. Respect to you BoW-Stuart)
