Was it the indoor lighting causing the very fast flicker when moving

In my defence: I was very tired! XD

The best show by far

To recap my chat: Who ever holds the rights to the Star Wars games at Embracer/Asmodee/AMG/FGG started doing big mistakes by plonking SW:L, X-Wing and Armada over to AMG. I get the "business end decision" on it (after all AMG was a "miniatures game only" company at the time but I feel that is where the real trouble started. The team at AMG didn't really get any bigger but suddenly had 4 instead of 1 game to take care of. And their "first" action was to put Armada "on hold". After that new releases and supply gradually got worse and worse. And to top it all off some "genius" decided "hey, we can't handle 4 games at once, lets do another! And make it eat into the profit of all other games we have". Like the mechanics of M:CP but don't like comics? Have a Shattnerpoint! Love SW:L type battles but 500 points is still to big a battle? Shattnerpoint! And the weird flying games, nobody is playing them anymore anyhow, right? Let's just let them suffocate. And then there is the problem with the ex-FFG games themselves being cluttered to death with new keywords, special rules and weird release policies. "You want *that* card? well you need to buy *this* ship because no other release will have this card!" X-Wing and Armada have been taken behind the shed and shot officially. It would be nice if the rule set would be released into some sort of community curated "Creative Commons" licence. SW:L should be put in a new home with a company that's focusing on games like Legion. I still hope that the new kits with core troops finally on sprues and not in little plastic bags will grant the game more creative freedom in building minis. And while we're at it: a 6 to 10mm EPIC game would be fantastic IMHO. AT-AT fighting airspeeders. Gungang boom catapults on giant creatures fighting hordes of droids. There are still so many untapped resources in the Expanded Universe and within the current universe. EPIC game could also include X-Wing minis. Air cover, attack runs... But all that needs a dedicated team and must not be done by a team that has it's head so far up it's own rear end that it's only really seem to care about their own rule set for M:CP and SW:S My two cents.

So positiv customer service. One event that is a bit long ago was when @FantasyFlightGames1 still sold Warhammer RPG books. I asked them if they would do support for local hobby clubs thinking I'd get some PDF or stickers or something small. What I ended up with was *multiple* full sized Rulebooks (with small blemishes) send from the US to Germany. Top Notch! The other I can remember was (again) a @FantasyFlightGames1 game but customer service by the German distributor Heidelberger Spieleverlag (what is now @AsmodeeDe ) Parts for my X-Wing was missing and I got them send right away. And three times the charm: Star Wars: Legion - my Imperial guard box was missing a body and had a second double. New mini incoming no questions asked. Again with @AsmodeeDe some years ago. Honorable mention: @TheArmyPainter customer support team. Every email I send them with critic, praise, questions or suggestions got a reply by a human. That's it for the moment.

great video!

So fed up as a casual player (mainly painter) that a new edition comes out just as I start to learn the last one for 40k,aos Especially hate it when what I had done gets made obsolete, base size changes have a special place in hell

So what I learned here is that when your bush gets unruly give it a trim and when it is over-shorn buy a merkin.

I'm going to put another vote on the pile against IgoUgo. Plenty of systems have both streamlined methods of unit activation but also some little tricks to activate more than one unit or units out of turn and it can keep both players engaged through the entire game. I disagree on the "two roll" system, I think it eliminates some granularity. If a model has certain equipment like an anti-tank gun then it really is a disservice to some players if all it does is adding a few dice to an attack roll. This is not to say that we should be singing "roll, roll, roll your dice" (shoutout to HansGrabber in the chat for that), but I feel four rolls is plenty. Two for the attacker, two for defender. Agree on random movement. Basic movement should be clear. For movements like difficult/dangerous terrain movements I had been homebrewing the option to take a flat, reduced movement, OR to roll and attempt to move further with added risk. One thing I would like to never see again are specific measurement templates. I don't want to have to remember what stick is for what movement or what bit of plastic is supposed to emulate what kind of explosion, especially if the things are both fragile and expensive. The maneuvering sticks for X-Wing were particularly ridiculous. We can just measure however many inches and make 45 and 90 degree turns as needed, like in Battlefleet Gothic.

Agree with random movement of player-controlled models. Random movement of fanatics in TOW is funny. Random movement of squigs and manglers is broken in TOW and needs to be corrected soon. It is the most unfun interaction in the game.

I would say with the 'i go you go' with out it if i got it, the likes of maulifax and frostgrave not doing it that way i think wouldnt be a good thing

Great vid guys 👍

Public service announcement : warlords teasers were as clear as mud but me and Paul will be talking about this next week

Great video. I loved it.

Greetings! Great program, gentlemen! I enjoyed the extensive discussion, and the back and forth about potential rule mechanics and their implications for game-play in Bolt Action. Your music soundtrack bangs as well! Your program was excellent! I have also subscribed, and *Liked*. I am a trained Historian, so I always favour a more historically-based game. I also agree, the Tournament wankers can get a bit outlandish. Trying to "Min-Max" the point mechanics does not inspire me at all, even though I very much can appreciate a competitive spirit. I think it is far more challenging to build a historical based force, and set yourself about seeking to win a game based upon more or less real historical dynamics. Keep up the good work! Semper Fidelis, SHARK

#wecancelledPaul!

Watching the video late as I was working the election. Great video.

"I watched Red Dwarf growing up..." Cookie grew up? When? "Monopoly...it's not about the game." That's because there isn't one. lol. Brush 4 times larger and it would still take him longer to paint it. XD Discovering something together is great advice. @Orinoco Leave my unpainted Moonstone out of this! It was cool to see this topic covered mate. You and Spam did a great job.

His name is Stu, I believe. I may be ill-informed. Technical difficulties not my fault this week. Lol. Having said that KZbin didn't capture any juddering or audio issues so that's wierd. It's a shame Monolith can't reprint Pantheon. I'm assuming it's because that one had Mythic Games involvement which understandably may cause issues given the way things have played out with that company. What did he say about Assassin's Creed? Heresy!!! @CheeseMe Partizan 2024 #canceleverything Wow #cancelSpamwhileshe'sintheroom @Spam FYI Any on screen abuse can be edited in post. ;~] Blake's 7 is waaay before Cookies time lol. Classic TV games? Did someone mention 7TV? I remember Automan. Not saying it was good but I remember it. Who remembers Lee Van Cleef in The Master?

Arkham was brutal...as Arkham always should be. So glad David enjoyed Mythic Battles. It is a great system. Audio was good but a little quiet maybe. @ewok kebab glad you like the new hairstyle. XD. Oh god the Modiphius drama. Noooooooooooo... signed "Indignant from the internet." LMAO. Yes I forgot to take my model to the competition. I am an arse. It's official. I think it's a shame Gates of Antares never made it as a system. Too much of 40k/Bolt Action hybrid I guess.

oh burrow and badger ive got a game with paul on the 12/08 so you could see it first hand plus its my first time doing it

oh fyi if sam wanted to come to club i still got to crack out the 40k warhammer monoply

What’s the keyword for next month’s competition? I must have missed it on Thursday’s stream.

The frankstine monster was from the jack daw set called Montresor and his a beast when it comes to playing him, paul had first hand treatment of this lol, if anyone wondered why i went with him i thought his in a suit so sleak in this regard

Heres something when would be the best time to buy stuff?

Just back listening to the bit I missed at the end. It was a bumper stream.

Nice speaking to you, thanks for the interview!

Loved the video. Sound was fine, I heard everything. I like those T-shirts you were both wearing, very nice branding. Good to see Pandyman on the telly. His table is very nice.

Stuff by Bez, what a crazy beautiful creative soul

bloody amateurs :P

Looks like I missed some interesting talk after I disappeared. WA Havesters, Five Parsecs From Home, and Space Station Zero. Good stuff.

yes.

Loved the video, more like this please.

Great video Paul! Awesome work as well

Really enjoyed this, good vid chaps

Autofocus is a "female dog" when you're in a hurry to get things filmed before the unwashed masses come in and block line of sight.

Nobody dropped paint.... sad!

Hayland bought a lot of the Studio Miniatures ranges. So they have Medieval Mayhem which is the Holy Grail and a lot of Crooked Dice type stuff. Rubbing in different colours of pastel into some of bridge flag stones would make them less uniform. Glad you think Battletech on hexes is a boardgame (I didn't see Tim disagree). Because Mercs used cards for measuring movement is it a card game? Star Wars Legion uses sticks is it a Pooh game? Not annoyed just trolling as usual

69 subs. Noice!

Late to the party on this but in terms of dungeon crawlers if you don't mind a bit of reading the Dungeon Crawl Collector thread on the BGG forums is a decent one-stop shop to take a look at for a wide range of reviews. If that's too much like hard work though here's a few broad suggestions, most have campaigns of sorts and I've tried to suggest a bunch of different themes depending upon what might float your boats; *Level 7 Omega Protocol* - Sci-Fi / X-Com themed 1 vs Many. 37 models in the base game so not too much painting to commit to. Generally considered quite well balanced. *Imperial Assault* - Star Wars themed 1 vs Many or Co-op (using an app). Fantasy Flight game so there's tons of expansions and character packs should you want to go down the rabbit hole. *Shadows of Brimstone* - Weird West themed co-op. Again buckets of different core sets, expansions & enemy packs available (for campaign play the 'Frontier Town' or equivalent expansion for each core set really adds a lot). Very dice / randomness heavy so if you're not ok with that may be worth steering clear. *League of Dungeoneers (Kickstarter only) / Dungeoneers* - Fantasy themed co-op. A little different as this was originally just a PDF rulebook on DriveThruRPG as Dungeoneers (sadly no longer available) before the creator took it to kickstarter with a slight name change as a complete boxed game with tiles & standees. Hits a lot of Warhammer Quest vibes with character creation, random dungeon generation and decks for items, treasure and suchlike. Would probably work well with the OG Dungeon Saga. Feel free to tap me up on OTT (elmrr) if you'd be interested in this.

sorry hobby cheating 229 was more green stuff. Although you could place green stuff round the feet and carve it's going to be too high. There was a project on OTT that used photo printed floor textures that looked good, but I can't remember who did it

Have you sent the wizard painting on KZbin

Should i write painting comp here also

Painting comp

Painting competition

My liver would like to file a complaint!

A good stream, you held it down well solo. A low for me is when I went to start a mini campaign of Rangers of Shadow Deep and my dice betrayed me and what could go wrong with the first game did go wrong. It went so wrong I became quite disenfranchised with with the system for a good few months and even painting minis for it. A high was using that time to try other things, namely doing my first diorama and thoroughly enjoying it. Another high was playing four games in four weeks of (the newly discovered) Space Weirdos using a separate book of generic Sci-fi scenarios and having a blast. Another low was my regularly opponents ditching that as soon as the new 40k came out then only talking about playing that game but not playing either whenever I mentioned how fun Space Weirdos was. My last high was finally playing Forbidden Psalm and really loving the rules, playing five games in five days on a week off then doing a load of kitbashing for it. Last low point was that my Five Leagues From The Borderlands seems to have dried up a little. I really want to play more games and progress the campaign but other things keep getting in the way. Anyway, have a nice Christmas and hopefully I’ll catch you next week.

Silver Bayonet might be a shout for you and David's narrative campaign games

Förster. Came for painting advice, left with dull scissors. So much clipping! (Though I don't know how clips work. Where do they end up? Your library? Mine? Nowhere? What's the point of all this?!)

I would say it's your money do what ever but for if its somethig that looks gd and ive seen it in action and like they why not
