Generic comment. I bring nothing to the table 🤣
Happy weekend all
Really enjoyed this one. Been a while since I listened to one of these! Those musketeer models are amazing. I also really hope that Mantic does a regular tabletop game for Halo. Love the models but don’t want to buy the models until I can play it as a regular miniature tabletop game!
I love Mantic but their miniatures can be a pain. The Halo ones look great though
One for all and all for one! Yes the theme tune is stuck in my head now. Thanks?
I’ll use these Musketeers for games of Osprey’s ‘En Garde!’ I look forward to the next waves as well.
When I saw that Halo flashpoint has grunts and jackals, I immediately went and made a pre-order.
Now they only have to release some hunters.
There are several missions in Halo with sleeping grunts, I really liked those.
Great stuff as always
Frostgrave – collecting sprues like other people collect stamps 8)
Nice one 🙂
I love what Ramshackle do with their sprues. I hope more people do similar. It doesn’t have to be much. Even just repeating lengths of rebar, bricks, rows of skulls, planks of wood, and sticks/branches. An endless free supply of that would be amazing, even if its always the same few inches on repeat across the whole range. More options would be appreciated though.
I really expected Gerry to get a clip of the Muskahounds music added at the end there. Very disappointed.
The Mosharts kickstarter is *chefs kiss*
Those musketeers do look good.
The banner here doesn’t match YouTube, I was confused.
Hi weekenders 👍👌
Great show guy’s 👍
The arceworlds and Grimstadt miniatures look amazing. Will have a look at the kickstarter for sure!
