The Weekender – Us Invading Your Saturday Mornings!
January 4, 2013 by warzan
So we are working away on the new show formats etc that will be appearing over the coming weeks and one we're going to play with is The Weekender.
Now rather than waiting for all the fancy production elements etc we are just going to evolve this little show each week.
So what is it, well 'currently' its just a bit of light Saturday morning tv to have a look back over the week in wargaming and pick a few highlights that are worthy of a mention. Its also an opportunity for us to just grab a coffee with some of our team mates and just have a chat.
We're going to have a segment in there to run over the new releases of that week, and will probably talk a fair bit about events etc that are coming up and how we can get people involved.
But for this first one, its just 4 guys talking about gaming 🙂
It also gives me great pleasure to introduce the first of the additional faces you will be seeing more and more of Stu Mack, the guy responsible for both the venue and the events taking place in Tabletop Nation (That's both events solely in the venue and events that you can participate in from each of the four corners of the world)
Anyway expect the show early on most Sat mornings (&am UK Time) and who knows we may even get a cooking segment in there 😉
Thanks for watching!

erm… Something for the weekend sir? 😛
Sorry but someone was gonna say it lol
SFTW was on my mind when we did this, but we thought a change of name wouldn’t do any harm 🙂
Awesome show guys. Great to have you back and looking forward to more videos from the new spot.
It’s been quite the challenge, who would have thought eh!
But we are starting to get up to speed now!
Very Fun!! I’d a great laught with this show 🙂 , specially with the hent-manga and the Land Speeder Birthday-Cake 😛
Hope that Rick’s KS goes great, but right now i’m paying for Kingdom Death and look what to do with Rivet Wars ( you post it! i’d sent you the info yesterday).
By the way, congrats for your new HQ in TabletopNation!
Thanks @vondrasky !
We aim to bring more of the HQ into the vids etc over the coming weeks.
Seems you were right about KIngdom Death :D, it reached the 2 million!!!
Great show guys, got a good few laughs out of that one. Ps Lucious the eternal is currently my favourite HQ
Excellent show boyz. More of this sort of thing, you dont need wonderfully high production values, just content and conversation. 🙂
Thanks Tim, I agree, the production stuff comes, I just have this feeling that since this is effectively a new start for alot of us, I would like to see things done differently. One of those things is growing shows based on it’s content first and then applying the heavier production elements to it. That way we have time to let a show breath and find its feet (or even die lol)
Happy to see you guys up and running again and I like the idea of a show for the weekend.
As for favourite character I’m with Lloyd. Big name characters attract too much unwanted attention.
One I do use is Warrens choice Belial he’s as cheap as chips (at the moment) and people still think he’s a bit of a scalp even though he has already done his party trick on turn one.
I got the same as Llyod 🙁 No wargaming, boardgaming, cardgaming not even a paint! I know how you feel man! 😉
Ouch! Lets hope this Christmas is better for you man!
Great Idea Guys
Keep it up!
That cooking segment bit knocked my socks off, simply because, when I’m watching wargaming vids online (mainly from you guys, of course), my familly tends to call those vids ‘cooking lessons’.
Justin apparently has a sandwich he’s busting to tell us all about lol 😉
Enjoyed that one guys, thanks. The biggest problem with Kickstarter for me is there is so many things to chuck your money at. The Kingdoms of Death one looks great, as does Rick Priestley’s , sadly this month I’ve chucked a pile of money at David Brabben’s Elite remake, so nothing left for tabletop gaming, although the Antares one runs till the end of February, so I’ll get on that one next month I think. PS , biggest issue with that Dark Angel Land Speeder for me isnt its looks, which are awful, but that it costs as much as… Read more »
Nice start of bringing some life back to BoW. Long may it continue!
Kickstarter drives me mad, everyone and its dog seems to be doing on. BTP was doing one to paint mintures, even though thats what they were doing already! I wish RIck well, but the Kikstarter idea has long since sailed for me.
My favourite HQ? Has to Thraka I guess!
I have mixed feelings about KS, on one hand I’m over the moon to see great projects get funded, on the other I wonder what possible effects its having on the wider industry.
Well don’t see the guys I wanted to see in your group. Don’t really care about table top nation it doesnt effect me or that sunday geek crap.
I didnt like seeing john split and if andy and darrell are gone it was nice but now its done for atleast me. Did not even watch the whole video.
This sucks mule piss through a rusty screen door as far as I am concerned
Not feeling the whole slobbering fan boy crap as you see from the rest of these bums.
bye bye
Sad to see you go DPC
John didn’t split afaik, He went to university and left on good terms unless I missed something.
Andy and Darrell are still making videos.
I may slobber and crap but it was still a good show imho
Darrell is back shortly I believe!
We’ve already said time and again that no one is leaving the Beasts of War team… Darrel, Andy and I are still going to do videos.
If anything, we’re gaining more crew… You would know, had you watched the video.
Obviously, we can’t please everyone all of the time, and you are going to see SOME videos on Beasts of War that you won’t like… However, you don’t have to be uncivilized about it. 🙁
In any case, we’ll be sorry to see you go !
Well I keep hearing that they are still among the ranks(darrell andy) but have not seen them since the move. I got use to watching them 3,4 or more times a week. They both are very entertaining and I feel that andy was never made proper use of by BoW. He was great with warmachine / hordes. I actually won games based on his insight. Also nobody holds a flame to darrells half baked cheezie noodle 40k videos (period) If this move fails to render those 2 atleast twice a week than this sucks ass. I don’t care what anybody… Read more »
Well unless I was tripping have seen Andy and Darrell doing unboxings
indeed a quick check shows that the weekender was aired on Saturday January 4th
and this :
http://www.beastsofwar.com/warhammer-40k/thoughts-6th-edition-warhammer-40k-tournament/
was also aired on Saturday January 4th.
So unless there is some conspiracy involving the guys in overcoats wearing fedoras/trilbys or alien abductions or Darrell being held hostage for cheese and sherry by the old folks at the home they are still part of the team.
There’s a bunch of new content coming up from Darrell and Andy I believe. There’s also a chunk of fresh talent waiting in the wings. The old teams still there, it just got a few new faces in it.
Of course you’ll have to allow some of the new generation to get used to working with the cameras but I’m sure Warren, Lloyd and Justin will be coaching them just as they did with the Irish contingent back in the day.
OK guys thanx thats all I wanted to know,
chibi I take back slobbering fan boy remark. I was just jacked up cause I hadnt seen them my bad 🙂
Must say if it must just be nepotism that gets Warren’s bro in this – but if he’s a fixture I will not be able to bring my self to watch any more.
NidsAndMarines
Am sure there are still plenty of cartoons on the telly for you to watch on a Saturday morning instead.
Lloyd has been a “fixture” of Beasts of War since day one. He’s the guy who actually made pretty much all the graphics you see on the site and in the videos…
He’s just not “in videos” that often, because he has other duties and specialities.
I’m apalled at the level of this comment 🙁
Agreed @elromanozo @noellis82 We are a fairly relaxed bunch of people here at BoW, however the golden rule here is you don’t take a snipe at the man who has quietly worked is bollocks off and done more hours than most of the team combined to bring this whole thing to your screens. He’s a gamer who has sacrificed his life in so many ways to make this happen, and hops on screen when he can just to have a bit of banter. That’s a comment that would deserve a ban and someone being hunted down and gutted like a… Read more »
Then ban me if you want, if it makes you happy. P’ffft. And since when did I say he hadn’t any value to you? So he makes the graphices – great (they are pretty neat tbh), so he works his bollocks off – great (so don’t the rest of you?), spends hours bringing things to the screen – great again. All I said was his presence on this video was, well, somewhat less than impressive. Your apparant over sensitivity (hunted down and gutted like a fish is the sort of comment that should have you banned by this definition) would… Read more »
@noellis82 – Hi there mate my name is Lloyd, it’s nice to meet you. If you are wondering who I am you can see more of me on the Turn 8 shows. Allot of vids I was in are from way back before I got a little bit tided up with other tasks here at BoW.
Anyway hope you enjoyed the show over all 🙂
what you thought of Lloyd’s performance is subjective and you are entitled to your opinion. Even if it is based on one programme and not taking into account other performances on Turn 8 and Lloyd’s character and (non filial) relationship with the rest of the team on screen)
Accusations of nepotism, on the other hand are another matter and totally out of order.
If you are so relaxed about it an apology would not be so hard for you.
What did Lloyd actually do wrong? I don’t get it? He’s always seems abit quieter on the vids, but always seems to join in when hes on camera.
My guess was hes more used to being behind the camera rarther than in front..I don’t see a problem with it.
I think your over thinking things noel.
unbelievable…
Goes to show that you guys need to remember that lots of the viewers weren’t there from the beginning and you need to remind everyone of what great stuff you all do. Don’t be shy 🙂
Is there a Tabletop Nation forum (NOT FACEBOOK page) , to chat and find out about games etc ?
Great to see you back, can’t wait to see what you come up with next !
Watch this space!
Great show and can’t wait for more. New set if fab and cool to see a new face and hear more about TTN. Kinda like Saturday Kitchen format but WITHOUT the b list celebs, shiny faced cooks, awkward small talk … ow and food.
Do I get points for spotting the tie fighter?
@warzan thanks so much for including one of my forums on the show, I squealed like a little girl when you said the first forum topic but I had calmed down by the end.
Anyway so glad to see you guys back I have been missing you guys so much, hope tabletop nation serves you as well as your home in northern island did
I have got this right because I don’t believe some of the embarrassing comments I’ve just read. You guys have just moved your whole operation over from N Ireland to England and I’m presuming most of you have moved your homes as well. That’s quite some undertaking. While I have been consuming my own body weight in Turkey and Beer I understand most of the team have been down with the Norovirus. Now you produce a video featuring only 3 members of the original team and it’s a big enough issue to throw toys out of the pram because we… Read more »
So what if they had Norovirus, what happened to “the show must go on”?
oh… on second thoughts am not sure I would want to watch an episode of projectile vomiting and failed cover saves.
Next BoW show title: The Marriage Ender
It’s great to see your all back as I was starting to have BoW withdrawal.
Great to see some more general videos coming back, really enjoyed this one and look forward to more (great to watch while painting) And sorry to hear about Swampy he … is certainly something 😉 lol
