Happy Saturday – or Friday night 😉
Gah, not enough time to watch this right now before work- but just enough time to check if I was lucky on WOK week…
Unfortunately not; looks like I’ll be hopping over to CMON’s site for Rising Conflicts and Book 1 Unit card deck…
Looking forward to watching the rest of the Weekender once I get home- happy Saturday!
Happy Weekend!
No jammy dance for me 🙁
And please do as much Mythic Battles and Kingdom Death lets plays as possible. I love those! Your plays made me back both projects and I cannot wait for shipping.
Now that Conan is out, would you do a Lets play for that? Perhaps the expansions coming out shortly.
If my computer gets something I am blaming @warzan !
Good show guys. Hope you get well soon.
So @warzan , what you are saying is this week youhave made a pair of “sniff” movies?

I’m not sorry 😛
It’s the Weekend!!:-) A weekend to put Red Dragons in their place… 😉
@dignity it was Luther that was screaming. The guy who the Lion left in charge while he was away and turned traitor.
Morning all, a bush in Birmingham for Justin……what sort of website is this turning in to!!!!!
Loving the new funny segments! 😀 Also looking forward to some Confrontation, I’ve got two armies for them gathering dust right now…
Two fish in a tank. One says “you operate the gun, I’ll drive”.
Happy Weekend!
The C.O.R.E. looks awesome, re-purposed Battlesuits and ROBOT DINOSAURS! that is all 🙂
The Triumvirate of the Primarch, Bring it on! For Macragge! For The Emperor!
Panzer Mech, minis look interesting both on their own or as possible proxies or homebrew units for K47.
Good girth, SO many double entendres this episode 😉
Great show guys 😀
i love the way you do the show – you are entertainers , all of you – and there is always a ton of hobby stuff an ideas in your weekender and xlbs – go on…thumbs up…You reach tv show quality – greetings from germany….
What was that Ben? You seem to disapprove of Warrens antics with the wire cutter 😛
Right … I’m off to buy some Kickstarter condoms!
Justin meets Bush…

Happy Weekend! Was a good show today guys great stuff.. I am loving where the storyline in 40k is going, so many potential things can happen to the story, and I would love the thought of the emperor actually finally pass, see more primarchs come back, and maybe some shifting of loyalties too
“Oh No The Sahuagin Found Me!”
Great show chaps.
@dignity , it’s Luther that is locked up in the bowels of the Rock. Johnson is in a deep sus-an coma, healing from the grievous wounds inflicted on him by Luther ( who the DA interrogate from time to time ). It was Luther, left on Caliban who was consumed by hate and jealousy from being left behind who turned the remaining legionarys against the Lion, leading to the destruction of Caliban. Having read the latest trilogy, i believe Cypher to be a ‘ good guy ‘, anything more would lead to spoilers.
I’m very much on the fence as far as Tortuga goes, but British vs Pirates is looking great 😀 . Not covered here today, but i’m really looking forward to CMON’s Rising Sun and Pulposaurus’ Conan: Rise of Monsters arriving on KS in March.
So, Warren would take Girlymans helmet? Nobody is surprised!
isnt the 40k gossip at the moment saying that Cypher kills Abbadon
I hope so. He was such a dull, two-demensional character in the the 30K books and he’s not interesting other than as a psycho James Bond type baddie in 40K. Plus his model is ancient and he hasn’t been given a new one yet. Like Archaon in Warhammer/Age of Sigmar, if he was going to survive the plot moving forward you’d expect him to receive a new, badass and huge new miniature.
I originally found the Bandua box buildings looked too plain to me, but they ended up being really functional on the table. I’m not sure why you wouldn’t want to use them, especially the new textured ones, for any sci fi setting.
I’ve also got some of their Hex buildings, which also stack and break up the boxiness of the originals.
Hot wire cutter machine is cool, do you have a link to buy one of those please?
I can’t help but feel (perhaps not the right term) that Warren is missing out on a lucrative career in erotic fiction. Come for the models stay for the innuendo… considering the size of Primachs those helmets must be massive…
lol 🙂
Omg. The jammie dance was indeed done! I can’t even believe it I had to replay and jammie dance again! LOL Submitting the claim form asap 🙂
An amusing episode. Carry on Weekender at times…;-)
I enjoyed the show today as i was painting,the extra comedy clips i did see was funny and was a lovely part of my day….. Have you seen the rules for warlords “test of honour” its wicked…. see you tomorrow
Happy Weekend everyone.
Those fish men crabs are definitely repurposed from Mars Attacks. Looks just like the giant bug from that game

It seems that John’s Tool was Justin’s Tool this week. Justin, I know it can be hard to resist, but keep ya hands off John’s tool. Don’t turn on John’s tool. Don’t talk about the tip, safety or otherwise. John should show off his own tool with a solo, hands on, demonstration.
I haven’t painted anything 40k in years, but I’m now tempted to get Guilliman’s model. Not the coolest model GW has produced but he is my primarch.
I feel sorry for poor Ben, having to work with such amateurs!
@Ben – I think we need a rating at the beginning of the show. 🙂
The primarch that is already at the imperial palace – could be Dorn as per previous rumours.
I am with @dignity – I like the FW miniature more than the new one, although having a helmet option does make it more palatable.
I’ve got the Panzer Mech KS on a reminder as it’s tax return time and I can’t predict how much I can jump in. But West Wind is great! Both Andy and his wife are great people!
The primarch that is already at the imperial palace – but maybe Dorn is too obvious. Russ, we know disappeared into the eye of terror with the wolf guard, but maybe he came out on terra…
I’m hoping for Russ myself. The return of the 13th Company is said to foreshadow his return after all.
Unfortunately, I can see them making Russ into a super Primarch Wulfen and I just don’t like those minis.
The primarch that is already at the imperial palace – Jaghatai Khan disappeared into the web way fighting the dark Eldar – we know the Emperor was working on a route through the webway, but could he have been far enough along in the project such that Kahn was able to travel to Terra?
How can @warzan discuss electrical current and make it sound like spermatozoa? Is that a talent? 😉
The primarch that is already at the imperial palace – Sanguinius was killed at the battle of Terra, but has been preserved in a stasis casket on Baal since then. This would be a bigger twist but as the only winged primarch, this would a allow GW to produce a model along the lines of the winged AoS models or the recent Celestine model.
The primarch that is already at the imperial palace rumor – there isn’t anything to say that the it would need to be a loyalist primarch of course, most of them could have a reasonable way of returning – the biggest twist possible would be a return of Horus, particularly if there are rumors of Abaddon being killed off.
The primarch that is already at the imperial palace rumor – it may be the case that the primarch is the forgotten or the purged.
This would allow new chapters to be created and a new range of models added and a whole new background for these to be created.
¡¡¡¡¡¡JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJA!!!!!!!!!!!!……Absolutely hilarious ROCKY reference guys!!!!!….. 😀
Yeah, that was the best bit! And in the cage too!
Good afternoon, everyone. 😀 Aw man, hope you guys feel better soon. Another great show!
HOLY CRAP, the Boxing Bit at 26:55 is epic! All the way down to the toothpick in Lance’s mouth!
Eye o’ the Tiger, @warzan! Eye o’ the Tiger! He ain’t nuthin’ but a chump, a CHUMP! Knock ‘im into tommoruh!”
And of course these abrupt cuts make it even funnier. 😀
>>>>>>
I’d like to add one small bit of “news” –
For those of you either attending the upcoming Flames of War Boot Camp, or planning on participating in the live blog the team will be running that weekend, we will be running a . . .
SANDS OF EL ALAMEIN
. . . 3-part article series starting on Monday, February 13. This series will sketch in some background for the battles we’ll be playing during the Boot Camp (during the general time frame of El Alamein, based on the miniatures we’re getting in the starter kits). We’ll be comparing the armies, commanders, and tanks (including those in our kits), outlining the campaigns that led to this historic face-off, and the outcome of the battles around El Alamein. We’ll be looking at some of the rules for FoW 4th Edition, and how they relate to historical tactics and conditions, and generally just trying to get people even more excited about the Flames of War 4th Edition Boot Camp.
We hope you check these articles out, like what you read, and drop some comments!
See you in the desert!
a great funny show guys.
Another great show guys!
No Justin your a little off. First its Luthars screams of repentance coming from the bowels of the rock, 2nd the Lion blew up Caliban because Luthar being jealous and corrupted by being banished back to Caliban and not out earning honor at the Lions side during the Great Crusade. He turned all the legionaries he had trained into army of Caliban because he was worried if the Imperium found out about the chaos corruption on caliban(the monsters in the woods) they would destroy it so as a true son of caliban he turned on both the Lion and the imperium. When the Lion returned to Caliban Luthar fired on his Fleet first. Also the Lion didn’t sit the Heresy out and wait to see who won, he was part of Imperium Secundus with The Ultra Marines and Blood Angels he also fought a long war against the Night Lords and brought his brother Konrad to heal.
–SPOILERS–
As to who the 40k Cypher is is still a mystery but who holds the title Lord Cyper(Cypher is a title not a name) in the Horus Heresy is now Zahariel who is/was head librarian on Caliban, one of Luthars advisors and currently being tricked by chaos. He becomes the Lord Cypher after he kills the old Lord Cypher who in Fairness was trying to kill him under orders from the Watchers in the Dark.
Good show guys.
Rocky impression…… speechless 😐 LMAO
Great show guys.
@warzan As both a fan of the Rocky movies and the fighting arts in general, the boxing scene was way too funny. Justin’s bush jiggling was comedy gold too.
As 40K becomes the End Times 41K I think it will be interesting to watch the Imperium fall apart and the whole “Forgotten Empire” scenario replay itself. The Beast Rises series of stories has totally crippled the Imperium so it’s little wonder the final blows are now falling. It will be fascinating to see if after 10,000 years the motivations of the various Primarchs have changed. The Alpha Legion and Iron Warriors’ Primarchs joined Horus but didn’t really embrace Chaos.
As Irishmen I would have thought you’d be looking at Clontarf for a bit of Irish/Viking historical action. Gripping Beast plastics would make that quick and simple. Saga that stuff by doubling the number of figures in the units (already have done this personally and its works fine).
happy weekend!
See you on sunday
Poor poor poor Ben. That man needs a hefty pay rise for the innuendo overload he suffers each week. 🙂
You finally broke Ben!
Wasn’t Confrontation the original GW Necromunda? I stil have a White Dwarf somewhere in the loft with the rules (I’m talking about a WD magazine….not an actual loft dwelling rules dwarf…..who happens to be white!)
You’re right, that was the name of the game that preceded Necromunda. But the one everyone thinks of generally is the Rackham game, and the associated games, such as Ragnarok, Cadwallon, and Hybrid.
You got me excited for a second.
No Ben Thoughts?
I think he was too busy trying to compose himself after @warzan broke him!
happy Saturday ! Justin I am so not surprised you turned to stalker ! brilliant interruption guys please do more of it !
With all new plot. GW new customer friendly policy and approach and hopefully good new rules. I am thinking about getting back to 40k
The highlight of my day is seeing the segment of John’s Tool. I always love looking at the face of Ben whenever we see Justin and Warren discussing their sexual innuendos. Ben looks like he’s ashamed of hos colleagues,hehe.
Good show, after the tool segment and Ben was out I really thought he was going to come back with something sarcastic. Like Pirates plundering the pink.
Although the Guilliman face does look a bit snarky I think it’s main issue is the stark paintjob. If they used a bit subtler shading on the cheeks it might have been saved. But the Forge World version is indeed more stylish. as is the old Grey Knight.
Most hilarious however was the face of Ben as he was looking for an escape route out of his box. I was wondering how long it would take before he would say “I’m out to make a pot of tea, guys! Be back in five minutes.”
Yes Warren! We want Emps Dead or Resurrected or both! Great coverage and commentary on the new models coming out of GW
Warren meets mat made me lol
