Lawrence McCarty
Originally a soldier of the British SAS in Africa, he now works as a Chaplain for the British Army. Deeply scarred by the events in Libya when a pack of what seemed like hairless dogs (Hounds of Tindalos) ambushed and killed his whole squad. Now a man of faith, he is determined to keep all of his unit alive for fear of being alone again. Some say he was driven half-mad from Libya. Even if it's true, this man is the most fearless human being alive and will fight fervently.

While sorting through a generous estate donation, she found a journal belonging to the recently deceased Sir M. Hatterton which chronicled an unpublished discovery located off the coast of France. Dreaming of leading the life of a dime-store novel heroine, she packed her hat and her mother’s revolver in search of clues to a forgotten mystery.

Yay, weekender!
It’s sad I couldn’t make it to TN today… But then again I get to play 3 awesome 40k games today topped off with some Dr. Who!
Happy Tabletop Day Everyone!
I am love fact that thanks to Kickstarter Warzone is coming back. How ever I hope that even if there is going to be new models there will be option to use old onces that some of us still have.
Yeah, I really hope I can buy cards, or even print them. It would be great to get to play with all my old stuff but with a fresh set of rules. That would be awesome even.
Great Weekender Guys 🙂
Happy Tabletop Day lads, I got my game of Talisman in for the day
I’m celebrating tabletop day by having a mammoth d&d session, I’d love to have come up to TN but with a new baby its just not possible.
Dark Legion is back!!
Well. that was a nice surprise for an early saturday morning.
Never played warzone at the time, but I remember it very well, I really like the idea of the rpg/wargame synergy they have going on , thats a very interesting concept.
Cant get to TTN sadly, but for tabletop games day we have organised a game of achtung cthulu with the adventure thingy you had on the backstage offers the other week.
Well I will see you guys later looking forward to 40k air on air action 😀
There is a mutant chronicles movie that aint too bad http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0490181/
ill be down after work for a game of infinity and maybe a warmahordes demo
Warzone game looking really nice… my poor bank account is suffering from all those cool kikstarters.
I wonder if the movie will be part of the cannon or not. I am happy to see the return of Warzone with the current explosion of mini games!
To quote ‘Ren and Stimpy’.
‘Happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy,happy joy, happy joy joy, happy happy joy!’
The old Warzone Mutant Chronicles was such a cool game system .
This sounds like the best ideas over the last 20 years of table top gaming all rolled into one big game system of awsome!Colour me oh so very interested….
A ‘Nostalgic Board Game Bash’ at my local club for table top day!
Blood Bowl, Space Hulk, Warhammer Quest,Advanced Space Crusade,etc
Great Weekender from you guys!Excellent stuff!
I love the Mutant Chronicles universe. It had amazing art back when most companies were using used black and white line drawings.
However, to describe the move as not too bad is…generous of you.
Hey, BoW, would it be possible to get the Acthung! Cthulhu characters for the Tabletop Game Day as PDFs?
The Bauhaus faktion always cracks me up. Bauhaus is an actual major german hardware store chain.
Have been following the WZR kickstater for a while now and its really looking awsome.
The movie is a good introduction to the world. This vid may have persuaded me to get into the KS, I have been dithering somewhat. The link to the roleplaying game is very nice.
Buy guys STOP SAYING COOL! – geez im ancient and even I don’t say ‘cool’ any more 🙂
We will switch to ‘RAD!’ or ‘AWESUM!’ or ‘WICKED!’ from here on in 😉
or for an episode beep each cool
I must have missed this the first time around – shame on me! I’m already thinking of Martian/ Mercurian scenery for this, where’s my pen/paper? I’ve got work to do!
Warzone really looks nice! Looking forward to see it start up and the models.
Warzone is back! Well, I´m a very rare person, because I started collecting and playing Warzone in 2009, when the game was dead, but I searched for Mutant Chronicles in Google because of the film (yes, there´s a Mutant Chronicles film, with Thomas Jane and Ron Perlman) and I entered in the Spanish community of the game. I liked so much the background and the rules so I couldn´t resist and started to buy some miniatures from Prince August.
It´s been more than three years now, I have two big factions and I think Prodos is doing a great job with the new rule system and the new miniatures. I´m going to start the Dark Legion faction with Prodos miniatures, and I have a good feeling with this company.
I have been waiting for Warzone to come back since Excelsior f…d up. Please take care of Chronopia as well.
I hope you will succeed gyus.
WoW, Great Stuff!!!
My interest in Warzone/Mutant Chronicles has just been Supercharged – I love the WIP Miniatures we have been seeing and look forward to learning more!!
Loving the new warzone! Played in my teens. Can’t wait til June for my minis to arrive
Hope the day goes well, would have loved to have been able to make it 🙂
There is one Thing i like and two i dont like about the new Warzone.
What i like are the Minis, they look awesome, just awesome.
What i dont like is the Cards, are we playing a Miniature-Game or a Trading-Card-Game?
But more important: Where the Heck is Imperial?
I still have a huge Imperial-Army in my Cupboard and want to use them or get an updated Version of them.
I´m going to keep an close eye on it and deceide when its here if i´m going to play the new rules or try to get a few other players to get the Minis and give the old rules a Try.
Our LGS is doing table top day I am doing dropzone and descent 2nd. edition
which is one of my favorite as of recent.
Personal note I am digging this warzone game its pretty cool I like the concept behind thus far.
Justin did a great job with hordes week thought I would mention this I love the idea of filming a demo. game…
Hey Boys and Girls can you spot Justin in this video 🙂
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go1W_jhZTA0
LOVE IT!
… O.O …
Ok thats just scary….
BoW Justin
This is the best gaming news in years. Cant wait to see how it turns out but I’m sure its going to be great.
Can’t make it to TN today but I’m making up for it by stripping and repainting some of my old Warzone minis. Should hopefully have a Grey Ghost done by tomorrow 😀
Nice one guys, good to see the interview with Prodos. I’m already in on the kickstarter for Warzone Resurrection and hope it will hit higher stretch goals, the game looks very promising.
remember buying this game 15yrs ago 😉
Never got into Warzone………
But the cyber-zombie minis look good for AT-43 !!! 😀
Good to see Warzone ha already gathered such support and seems to be coming back with a bang. If the background stood the test of time (personally I like it), then this might well be quite a serious contender to 40k.
Would love to get my hands on some of those first Undead Legionaires along with the ones I will get with my Cartel pledge.
Please Justin do a Rob Halford Cosplay for a Warzone batrep 😀
Myth looks awesome! Thank you for mentioning it. I really hope it takes off.
Shame i dont live in the neighbourhood, would have loved to pop in.
I’m really excited about this. Its really cool that you can bring a rpg character over to the skirmish game.
Best game ever. Now in new quality! Warzone back baby!
Brotherhood or Dark Legion..? Or Bauhaus? Or Cybertronic?! Or Captiol?! Damn it…
Hey when is the early release date? I cant wait to get my hands on afew of these models!
Warzone/Mutant Chronicles ftw!!
waiting for Tabletop Game Day
Best of luck with today! Looking forward to the new Warzone game.
Heh, one of the things that was brought up in the Kickstarter comments was the lack of a Brotherhood vehicle in the line-up. Casting my mind back to the late 90s, I tried to recall from the RPG or the CCG what they could possibly field that wasn’t the Icarus Jet Fighter.
..and then I remembered the Death Angel. Talk about before their time! I’m sure if it came in green, the Dark Angels would totally be riding around on this in the new codex…

Oops, epic link fail. Lets try that again…
Wow this kick starter looks exciting.
Lovely. I have played the first two editions of Warzone, looking forward to playing the third. So far the minis look the best and the rules sound top as well!
Great show guys – look forward to trying out Warzone!
Loved the Mutant Cronicles since the begining and can’t wait to see what else Prodos and Modiphius come up with with my much loved IP. I haven’t been this stoked about gaming in a long time. It’s even inspired me to paint a few of my old minis that have languished in storage just to get in practice for all the painting I will be doing with the new miniatures!
Für Bauhaus! And yet another bad Mutant Chronicles movie with Ron Pearlman and John Malkovich!
Warzone’s a completely new one for me. It appeared just as I was disappearing from the hobby. The fluff sounds great though. I’ll watch the Kickstarter with interest!
Warzone looks awesome one of the first kickstarters I am very tempted to get involved in
Warzone looks awesome…..now send me some mini’s!!!!
Those warzone sculpts are pretty impressive
I hvent been gaming today, but making the little mans day by taking him to meet Captain Barnacles more than compensates for it.

I played Warzone extensively back in the day and am incredibly happy the game’s making a comeback. From what i’ve seen in the beta version, these rules are every bit as good as anything out there. Seriously, I recommend everyone go grab the beta rules and give them a try.
Great weekender guys, and great info on Mutant Cronicles Warzone Resurrection! Looking forward to the return!
Zombicide with the missus for ttd 🙂
Its nice to see the game get a modern makeover.
I’m looking at my old Imperial Wolfbairns…hmm, I did love that game! Glad to see it’s being resurrected 😉
Man, I feel out of it today. Warzone sounds awesome. I am old so remember it from the bad old days. I look forward to resurrecting game memories of old. Thanks for the weekender!
Checked out the web site, this sounds and looks awesome.
WOOT Long live warzone, bring on the free mini’s
I can’t wait for Warzone to be available again. I hope the rules are similar, as they were why I loved the original back in the day. I also hope Chronopia is the next reboot. I still have my swordmaiden models from that game.
Just watched the half of the episode, I hope I find some more time later to finish it. So much content this week.. pure awesomeness! Thanks BoW.
So hyped for Warzone… should be a very good summer!
Warzone looks great!
Tested Beta 1.2 today, and it is really is turning to something cool. Wait for final version will be long…
Hi Guys at BOW. I recently discovered warzone miniatures. There is a local shop which I happen to discover recently. I entered this store for the first time had was surprised to find miniatures from different ranges including confrontation to name a few. However, I notice a lot of old boxes (the transparent plastic of the box was faded to yellow !) and discovered these old metal models called Warzone. These were still labelled in Malta Liri, a currency that no longer exists! I feel in love with these models. I bought all dark legion and brotherhood models. I had no idea of the color schema since had no clue of the original game.

awesome i love when rpgs and table top war games come together very excited about achtung cthulu dust warfare to
more great looking stuff
great vid as ever guys, warzone looks good, keep it up
Great to see Warzone being resurrected. Some of the old figures, especially the vehicles, were just too rare or expensive to get hold off.
Really like the focus you put on this soon to be released awesomeness 🙂
Looking forward to the new tau!
And this warzone game is sounding pretty neat, finally zombie that i like the look of.
Having no local hobby centers to visit I got a couple of players and we did a 20000 point warhammer apocalypse battle using just about every warhammer 40k mini we had. It was so epic
Great video as usual.
Glad I was able to get to a few hours of Tabletop day – enjoyed the game of Citadel, not because I won, but because of the banter (Bishop anyone). Great to have Kevin run me through a quick demo game of Warmachine too, I’ll be back for more and hopefully the bar will be open by then too.
I wonder if they resurrect the factions from Dark Eden expansion such as Lutherian Triad, Templars, Horde of the Halfmoon or Sons of Rasputin? 🙂
Would have loved to be there but Canada to UK is a bit of a push. Went to one of my local independent stores and took part in a Flames Of War demo. Loved it. Bought Open Fire boxed set. What a deal.
I loved Warrens comments last week about NOT boycotting GW products but buying through independent channels. So it’s ok to get my Spacewolves out again.
Also played a couple of games of The Oilman Game.
Had a fun day.
Looking forward to seeing those Achtung Cthulu PDF’s.
warzone=win, i had a friend who had some of the old minis
Probably too late but that prize is sweet!
