 It's the Midweek Roundup Hey folks, welcome to the Midweek Roundup. We are joined this week by Kyle. Come all the way up from America just to see me and maybe because Clash of Kings is on as well. How's it going everybody? Busy week this week. Oh, incredible. We're going to Clash of Kings at the end of the week heading down Friday and see lots of lovely faces and play some Kings of War. First of all, we'll get through some of your painted minis. So, first up, we have Phil Tetsuoho who has done some fantastic Forge Fathers. He's worked in progress as part of Blackjack Legacy's Slow Grow Challenge. So you see fantastic colours and nice camouflage on there and he's got some brokers to work on in the background as well. I really like the green on Forge Fathers. It's a colour that's been popping up a lot lately I feel like in the community and I don't know, it works. Typically you see it on GCPS but yeah. It's nice to see the ones that you don't often see in camouflage being in camouflage, isn't it? Yeah, it's good stuff. And talking of camouflage complete opposite end of the spectrum Ian's done these fantastic Tiger Print Asterians. They're fantastic, aren't they? That takes a steady hand. There's no template on there. I'm assuming he did that freehand and if he did, that's very impressive. It looks it, doesn't it? Yeah, it's really well done. In case you call them Cat Starians. Oh! And then Jessica's done a Northern Alliance army ready for Clash of Kings I believe doing the display board. It's always fantastic when we see some crazy ideas. This is not the first time I've seen a frozen themed Northern Alliance army but this may be the best one I've seen. It's fantastic, isn't it? I'm excited to see that this weekend. Yeah, see it up close and in the flesh as it were. And talking about fun as well. This is absolutely fantastic. These ghouls and horrors playing Snuka. I was actually explained what Snuka is for the first time yesterday during lunch because I was looking at a bar and I was like what is this thing? And it's basically a bigger version of pool with different rules. Slightly more complicated pool. Pool extreme. I dig it. Good job, Matt. And then our very own Nick Savage has been chipping away at his slow grow. He's still beating me. I've still yet to get any primer on my models. So he's done his peacekeeper captain. Remember in the video recently he said he was thinking of changing his colours from the light grey and orange to something a bit different. So he's gone for more of a camo green and then the orange just to make that pop. The orange pops and obviously the blue on the claws. That's a really nice colour point that stands out. Orange and blue, good contrast for each other. I think that's what's great about the head force captain with the face claws. The face claws, yeah. Whatever colour you want to do the armour. Having some blue claws just make it pop, don't they? Yeah. And then I picked these guys out because obviously I'm trying to dip my night stalkers done for Halloween and I thought that these looked fantastic. Very similar sort of tones as to what I'm thinking of doing. Yeah. And then what Simon did was he had some men-at-arms left over and needed to create a few more units. So to the next slide he made some fantastic doppelgangers. This is a really nice conversion using some of the old men-at-arms sprues and the Scarecrow Spectre sprues from the Night Stalker set. I also like the tree from terrain crate from the Haunted Manor. That's a great use of that. That's the beauty of multi-basing isn't it? That you can really make some nice thematic dire-armours within your units. And both of those, I mean, if you're doing any kind of a spooky army undead Night Stalkers that Haunted Manor sets fantastic for it. And then lastly, talking of terrain I've got some sci-fi terrain. I picked this out from Soren Taylor because I thought the landing pad that they've done is absolutely fantastic. Really nice with the big H on there. And the weathering is really nice as well on the whole of it. Sure. I mean, terrain sets are they're critical to everything that we do. And I'm someone that tends to neglect them because I get so excited about models. But then once you get a nice terrain set like this finished, it feels so good. Okay, I'm ready to play for real. There's something so much better as well about playing on a really immersive board, isn't there? It's a great change of pace from how you normally are just painting minis. You do things differently. You approach it differently. It's nice to have both those options. That's it for this week, guys. As we say, we're going to be at Clash of Kings. So keep an eye out for any content that we might be putting out over the weekend and into next week. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. If you're not at Clash of Kings and if you are coming to Clash of Kings we'll see you both there. Awesome. Thanks to Kyle for joining us and we'll see you again next week.
