Unofficial French Weekender is dangerous for me, they always find a way to join my collection. Better get back to my current project…
The French always find a way in…
Been watching SAS: Rogue Heroes. Suddenly North Africa is on my to do list. Might need these frenchies.
That would be a good excuse to snap these up
Another week, another Weekender. Actually got some painting done this week, though!
Great! What did you end up painting?
Great show guy’s
Thanks 🙂
A dangerous squirrel seems like a stretch.
You’ve never clearly stolen their nuts…
Nice one 🙂
Happy Weekender! Bolt action French Switch up between Allies & Vichy on your game nights is a Fantastic idea
For sure – that was not an idea I’d considered
Now that the French are out for Bolt action, how long will it be for some of the smaller participants to get some love as well?
Is Space King going to go the same way as so many overfunded projects? Major delays and a lot of hate and anger.
I think it will be dependent on how much they have done in the background to support how much they are making
I’m glad I stayed until the end for Gerry’s cooking tips. More of this please.
Always need the tip…s
Ok I didn’t guess French week. Respect the determination to theme though!
Now this week’s theme needs to be something brilliant…
I don’t know either IP so I am assuming that the Starcraft Terrans and the Space King guys are descended from the French, or at least from the Space French.
Yep, definitely
happy weekender!!! Space lord is an awesome series
A good way to now play it on your tabletop 🙂
SPACE KING!
You missed a trick. You should have done the intro in French
Ah nuts – we will have to try something like that for the next theme haha
Beating off vikings….<sniggers childishly>
We are adults. Promise…
I visited Paris last year and tried escargot. They surprisingly have the taste and texture of calamari.
Intriguing but also still glad that I’m vegetarian
Space king. Interesting
Warp miniatures stuff is great
It really is. I ended up buying all sorts from their store in Nottingham last week
The carolingians look great, also love all the warp miniatures mythology going on!
A good duo of awesomeness for you to pick out!
