Quotes (from this video)
  • If you see something and you want it, get it right away.
  • It's kind of like when Nova used to be in the old place when it was in several years back it was in Crystal City. Technically, there was like one restaurant within three blocks of the place and that was it.
  • The benefit to this being in downtown Milwaukee is that it's in the convention district and there's a lot of restaurants and bars and all kinds of places around there. So uh it's going to be real nice.
  • I think that the number of people obviously that go to conventions in comparison to the number of people who are in the hobby it's a very small percentage that go to conventions and I think there's a lot of folks that are just not that are either unable to due to distance or you know cost or social anxiety or just you know they just never have the the um the you know like they they got you know, several kids and two jobs or stuff like that. You just don't have the time to take off and go to a convention or whatever. So, I think that that happens a good deal.
  • The reason they moved out of the old place was because they just literally had outgrown it. um when they moved to Shamberg I think adept to con was about 5,000 people maybe six and then over the years being in Shamberg like last year they hit 10,000 people so
  • I have found that you get less of that overlap with speed paints. They they maybe don't I don't feel like they dry quite as quickly or something. I don't know what it is, but they don't seem I don't have a problem. They What do they call it? tide marks, coffee stains, something like that. And it's because you've taken a transparent color that dries so quickly that when you bring the other transparent color over and you have them kind of overlap a little bit, so there's not like a space in between where you, you know, on this thing, then you get double transparency, which means it gets darker. So you get this line where you stopped and then had to go and get more and then come back.
  • The benefit I think what happens is almost every single convention gets to a point where it can no longer be in a convention center and hotel combo. It gets to the point where they need a convention center and then hotels around the convention center. It's the way Gen Con does it. It's the way that, you know, Adepticon's doing it now.
  • It's like you're colorizing an old black and white movie or something like that. Um, but it does make things quicker and simpler and it still looks pretty good in most situations.
  • Am I doing it right? I mean, I don't know. It's up to you.
  • Would love if GW re-releases Mheim, but I fear this will also cause most people to overlook unofficial fan-made Mheim content, but who knows, maybe GW will open to unofficial content.
  • Horus Heresy is basically a civil war story. So, it's all about we're not even paying attention to the aliens right now.
  • It's because they were spending 50% of the time working on stuff for Warhammer Fantasy, but it was only 18% of sales and they were like, 'Well, this isn't going the right direction.'
  • It's been a long time since GW's made a Kill Team box where I liked everything in the box.
  • I find that I have the best um luck with OSL when I'm using my airbrush.
  • The difference is is if you are like, 'Well, I would rather do something a little bit different and tweak things differently that way.'
  • Overall, Army Painter Speed Paint wins for me, but there's um always a couple of the contrast paints I love, like the Blood Terror Red. It's just a gorgeous deep burgundy.

Quotes (from this video)
  • Still just don't really like the newest edition of War Cry or sorry not War Cry, Killteam.
  • It seems like it's not about trying to kill the other guys. It seems like it's more about just like it doesn't seem like a war game.
  • There's also a lot of tokens to keep track of and stuff like that and that seems to get even worse in um Shatterpoint.
  • Infinity rules are free.
  • This is the essentials start here box and it's like 40 bucks and it comes with six models, three per side. It comes with six dice. Evidently, there's a ruler in there. There's card stock or cardboard chipboard like uh terrain, printed terrain. There's a card stock mat. Uh, there's cards. There's also the fancy book about how to get started and all that stuff. And uh, it just seems like it's a really good deal.
  • Just started playing Notorious, which is really easy solo RPG. Basically a Star Wars bounty hunter uh hunting targets on a planet based on Ronin.
  • Uh subscribe to Vince Venturella on YouTube. Vince Venturella and Sam Lens. Sam Lens artwork. I would definitely subscribe to both of them.

Quotes (from this video)
  • And honestly, I'm not really sure I'm going to be focusing too much on any one specific game. I guess as I see them.
  • My one of my sons loves Armymen. He is. I'm going to have to get a photo later before the day is over because he is going to want to see me near army gear.
  • The crew is actually fantastic. I met them the other night at the um the the the demo the media demo tonight.
  • Memorial 44 to me is luck as to where you can actually go followed by luck as to what you roll. I can deal with one of those two looks both together and I just feel like I don't have the agency I want.
  • Terraria new expansion coming soon. That's the first time I'm hearing of that.
  • This which looks fantastic. I have not seen this properly set up. Bridge or bust. Uh this feels like an insane system. It's based on like it's got to be based on like those video games. I don't know. This feels This feels crazy. Toy factor high gameplay possibly not as much my jam.
  • This has been a light UK Games Expo tour. Next year I hope to do better.
  • Long story short, uh Friday I slept in because of the plane and catching up on sleep. And then Sunday the trains were down. So um between the two I got you I got you uh late on the coverage.
  • This is more intended as like, hey, if you haven't been to UK Games Expo, you want to get a sense of the similarities or differences to other conventions. Hopefully, this gave you a light touring of showing.
