The Primarchs are all aspects of the Emperor's personality so I'm pretty sure the missing two represent his "common sense" and "people skills" 😁

The wheel in the Conan the Barbarian movie is called 'the wheel of pain'. Conan wears a small medalion of it around his neck. The  writers intended the Wheel Of Pain to be an allegory or a mill or a torture device. In the fiction the War Master's who created the wheel wagered when they constructed it, that would create a man who could master his body and mind perfect for the gladiator pits. He was sold to gladiators. The wheel of pain's simple lesson is "that which does not kill you, only makes you stronger

Humble video suggestion RE Peachy using his phone to photograph miniatures - maybe a quick video on how you do this? Tips, tricks, basic universal settings etc.

Great to see/hear you all just chatting for a couple of hours :)

I think the reason why 2nd and 11th primarchs were redacted wasn't because they did something worse than the traitors, but because whatever they did was something unforgivable, but for good reasons. Like the two redacted primarchs were basically ''redeemed'' by letting their deeds be forgotten while letting their legionaires still exist. So whatever they did was horrific, but understandable so they got deleted from records and most of their legions got split between Ultramarines and Imperial Fists, meaning the legions were surely forgiven, whereas traitor primarchs shall always be known as traitors.

During the Arnold Strongman Classic competition, they push a replica of the Conan wheel of pain, it's incredible to see.

Can't wait to play Mega Death Kill Squad at Phase Fest

I agree that cereal is not a soup. However, I would pose the argument that cereal is a salad and milk is the dressing

Best advice I ever received about getting friends into gaming: don't.
It's easier to turn gamers into friends than it is to turn friends into gamers.

Having just checked my Heroquest rules; the first true mission was called The Maze and was a very basic setup, almost like a demo level. But in the rulebook you had each Character listed with a few pages and called 'The Way Of The Warrior/Wizard/Scout' dealing with combat, magic and movement. At the end of each 'Way of...' Section was an subsection called 'The Arena' which was billed as a practice of the concepts outlined in the rules, using the big room at the centre of the game board. Sounds like they updated this for the new version!

There were two versions of the basic quest book, the version I have (the version released in the UK) starts with the Trial. The original quest book has a quest called 'The Maze'. The Sir. Ragnar quest is the second quest in both versions.

The Wheel of Pain was a large grain mill that was powered by slaves. Their hands were shackled to the posts of the mill and they would continuously rotate the mill throughout the day. They were only freed from the wheel once they were bought, or once they gave up and died from the physical demand of the mill.

The original Heroquest Advanced Quest - which was a newer version with an extra campaign, included the Trial as the first mission (UK)

Per Geoffs comment on Warp travel/hyperspeed, in Star Wars lore its also actually based on routes! There's a tiny amount of info in Ep. 4 when Han says "going to hyperspeed aint like dusting crops, boy" but i believe the way it works is that there is a set, preplanned route through every star system that is safe, where they wont fly straight into a star or whatever, and if you fly blind its incredibly dangerous.

Its also often asked how the Trade Federation could blockade a planet in Ep. 1 when you can just fly into space in any direction but when there is a single or very few set points in the system where it's safe to actually jump from the blockading job becomes much simpler.

"Favourite Christmas gift you ever received?"
Damn Peachy, too real.
🤣🤣🤣

Yes Pat! AK black is soooo good.

Hey lads, for a lot of us this OUR Barber Shop. Cheers, and Merry Christmas!

A personal note RE 'getting friends into the hobby' 1:04:00 - I've managed to get 3 mates into it, where we now all travel 4 times a year to play.
1.) Lower the barrier to entry as far as possible - ideally all they need to do is bring themselves. Have multiple teams to choose etc. Choose a system like Killteam that uses hardly any models.
2.) Choose a system that is as simple as possible - I can't champion One Page Rules enough. Really simple, tight ruleset, where we were all making deep tactical choices after turn 2. Free army builder with rules validation etc.
3.) Further to #2 - you can always switch to a more complex system/add advanced rules the more involved everyone gets.

The bar fight for Necromunda is a great scenario. I played it against my brother - his Van Saar were all having a drink and then my enforcers turned up to provoke a bit of trouble. You have to leave your guns at the door, but you don't have to leave your shock batons at the door! 🤣 Even funnier was the patrons throwing chairs at the Van Saar as well! 🤣

Conan’s wheel was a wheat mill.

Sorry for the greedy amount of questions lol!

A phone photography/early days content creator one would help a lot honestly :)

PhaseFest sounds great, I also quite like "DistractionCon" as well because it's close to Distraction Carnifex lol

I love AK Rubber Black as well. I like using it on Space Marine joins, tires and the soles of boots! The finish on it looks fantastic next to the regular colour scheme, I highly recommend it to everyone . My least favourite paint is Corax White BUT if that counts as a cop-out I actually dislike doing bone colours/pale beige. It's a total PITA to blend from dark to light and it bugs me lol. Absolute favourite is Payne's Grey, It's a fantastic base for shadows and it's what I use for all of my dark angels ^^
