The bar-stewards...  >:(

Although to be honest I think we all saw the camera's coming and quickly found something else to do so we didn't get caught!

I thought walking past the Pendraken stand was illegal  :o- Social convention says you should stop and say hello. Sensible wargamer convention insists you make a purchase   :) - well thats what I tell my prettier half  :d

Well try this one

Say "why you do you buy make up? You don't need it, your beautiful"

She will say something like " I know I don't need It, but  makes me feel good when I wear it"

Your reply is " I know I don't need XXX  (inset what you want),  but make me feel good when I have them" ;D


PS. Its best to say this from the other side of the room, standing near the door - just in case  ;D

Yeah, saw these goons drifting around with their kit. The guy seems to think he's Peter Snow. He isn't....  :P

Dickheads of the first order.

For another laugh go to 48 seconds and have a look at the expression on Richard Clarke's face when he sees them passing by  That's Rich from TooFatLardies.

It's a Perception Filter. Total arses are prevented from seeing Pendraken goodliness because their arseification prevents it.

Looks like he had no idea who Pendraken were and made no attempt to find out despite the stand being busy.  Overall the guy's 'journalism' technique seemed to be going straight for names he already knew, anything fantasy (his own obvious area of interest hence Forgeworld drooling but didn't mention the prices!) or a quiet stand.

More importantly... the slightly balding fella with the backpack in front of him...

That's me :)

(and yes, I walked past too, but I'd just come from twisting Leon's ear, saw the cameras and turned around!)

Yeah this reminded me why I stopped watching BoW videos, I think it was their unboxing of Victrix Napoleonic French Line Infantry, ".... and of course Victrix will be producing the other factions as well."

WTF!!!!!!!! Factions? I'm sure that France/Austria/Britain/Russia/etc,etc are all highly delighted to be classed as a faction.

The depth of these knobheads knowlege of anything beyond 40K is totally underwhelming.

They get worse.  Take a look at "Flames of War for the Win" their new series about guess what.  http://www.beastsofwar.com/flames-of-war/flames-war-win-episode/  (http://www.beastsofwar.com/flames-of-war/flames-war-win-episode/)

The fat Irish one is joined by a total nerd with no clothes sense who just can't leave his hair alone for any more than ten seconds  in a contest to see who can spout the most rubbish.

I'm a FoW player, and I'm afraid I lasted about 2 minutes of that video, most of which was skipped ahead, watch 10s, skip ahead, watch 10s.

In the end, nothing put me off the game more :(

A lot of people don't like FoW, I do, but... get the rulebook, ignore everything else. Don't buy the models, not only are they massively overpriced (cough cough PSC) but... 10mm models and half all ranges gives a MUCH better game, and eliminates the track to track tanks that pisses off any non-fanboy.

I'm starting to think of some much better acronyms for BoW now, I doubt any of them are forum safe lol

The buggers caught me on the day as we were setting up. Referred to the Celtos range of miniatures as Celt 08?
Their Salute video's are quite poor, they do avoid anything that doesn't have a codex or is presented in a box!

I'll never forget the review video they made of the Warhammer 40K CGI film. The review was longer than the film  :o
