Transcript
- 0:02My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
- 0:04I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
- 0:08It turns out that Attila the arrogant so and so.
- 0:11He's got a fake hammer. Oh, a fake.
- 0:14Yeah. Whoa.
- 0:15As I say, Dick. Welcome to episode 118 of the
- 0:20Allegiance Podcast. And we're back for four more as
- 0:24usual. And last week we looked at All
- 0:27Star 6, and this week we're going to dive deep into one of
- 0:31those factions, the Necronominus faction.
- 0:34We were going to do both Necronominus and Etheron, but we
- 0:37decided there is probably a lot of material in both factions
- 0:43that we can go through. So we decided to split it up
- 0:45into two different episodes. So unless something completely
- 0:49wild happens within the next week, you'll do Etheron next
- 0:51week. But otherwise it'll be shortly
- 0:55afterwards. Just depends, you know,
- 0:56obviously we have Infinite Legions reveal 1 coming on
- 1:00Friday, so the day this is out in the evening.
- 1:04And so that would be 6th of June at 8:00 PM EDT.
- 1:12So that's one day we won't get confused on 6/6.
- 1:16Yeah, we can figure that one out.
- 1:17That works for us as well. And that's officially the second
- 1:22best day this week after my birthday.
- 1:24Yeah, exactly. Yeah, we, we get to that.
- 1:27We get to that. I'd like to go on here.
- 1:29Of course, strictly speaking, is actually on the 7th of the 6th
- 1:32for us, isn't it? Not the 6th.
- 1:34Oh yeah. Because it starts at 1:00.
- 1:36In the morning, but. Then we'll be confused.
- 1:38We'll be waiting for July. And I'm the one, folks,
- 1:43apparently. Yeah, yeah, the pedantic 1 Rich
- 1:47Jones. Birthday boy this week we'll
- 1:49have. Already had his birthday by the
- 1:51time we listen to this and Thursday this week.
- 1:54So rich, how you doing? I'm doing good.
- 1:57Beardless or a lot less beard. Yeah.
- 2:00You look very clean. That the heat of the UK and
- 2:03there's nothing I can say that got the better of me.
- 2:05So the first time to go, is it muggy over there?
- 2:07Because it's muggy. Oh, it's awful.
- 2:09It's just like swamp, like swamp.
- 2:11Pass that weather. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:14When you. This is the type of weather when
- 2:15you realize maybe I should lose those few extra kilos.
- 2:19Oh, it really is. You know, when I'm going out, we
- 2:25went to jacket on and I'm frozen.
- 2:26I'm like, yeah, you know what? A little bit of padding that
- 2:28works. Yeah.
- 2:31And Swamp pass weather. No, thanks.
- 2:33Yeah, just lying in bed just sweating profusely while your
- 2:36spouse is absolutely fine. It's like I need some weight.
- 2:40And you, man, how's it going? Yeah, all good, all good.
- 2:43Yeah, just work, you know, usual.
- 2:46Just work. They're working you to the bone.
- 2:49No, well, I've just lied up and I, because I was off for the
- 2:53last couple of days, only went back to work today.
- 2:58But you know, one day back and it's like I've already booked a
- 3:02week off in a few months. Right.
- 3:04Well, hopefully they're not putting too much strain on your
- 3:06vocal cords because we have a couple of videos to get through
- 3:09this evening for an economic so and always good.
- 3:13If Mal reads those you don't want to be hearing being rich
- 3:17try and stumble our way through them.
- 3:18You both do a really good job as well.
- 3:22You've got a good radio. I listen to Rich now, to be
- 3:24fair, I think. Yeah, it's got a good radio
- 3:26voice. And yeah, so infinite legions
- 3:30anyway, exciting. And that's that's the kind of
- 3:34first thing for this week. So next week we'll obviously
- 3:36talk about the figure or figures.
- 3:38I don't know, seems to be a figure.
- 3:40And but maybe my guess at least if it's going to be more than
- 3:46one figure, might be a couple of color variations of that or or
- 3:51maybe, you know, maybe different weapons set up or I don't know
- 3:55exactly. I'm not, not I I purposely
- 3:58didn't go too into the details on the history of this figure
- 4:02because I'd like to listen to the real show or watch the real
- 4:07show probably now on the Saturday morning.
- 4:10And rather than live and give myself a kind of a sleep
- 4:14hangover for the whole weekend and and kind of learn from it
- 4:20there. I thought that that would be
- 4:21interesting. So yeah, it's going to be this
- 4:24Phaidon character from GLIAS. So very interesting to to see
- 4:31where that goes and that see how that fits in with cosmic lesions
- 4:34for us at least. Obviously Infinite Legions can
- 4:37be its own thing. So if you want to get in on the
- 4:40ground floor of a toy line from one of your favorite toy
- 4:43companies, great opportunity here.
- 4:48So interesting. Remember they showed that some
- 4:51allegiance con was really good. So that got me excited about the
- 4:54arm cannon and that sort of stuff.
- 4:55Yeah, excited to see what they do so.
- 4:57Well, the sneak sort of the sneaky peek in the in a photo
- 5:02that they've sort of done alongside Leo promoting it looks
- 5:07really cool as well. Yeah, it does have the little
- 5:10cannon with the kind of blast coming out of it.
- 5:12So I've not even seen that. Yeah, this is how busy I'm being
- 5:15with work at the moment. This is a disgrace.
- 5:17That is a disgrace, which that is.
- 5:20And yeah, so a pricing might be interesting as well.
- 5:25See where this lands. Is it going to be like figure
- 5:28obscura type pricing or is it going to be more like Legions
- 5:33kind of character pricing or what?
- 5:36You know, I think it'll be probably around the figure
- 5:40Obscura mark or thereabouts, depending on how they want to
- 5:47pitch it. But yeah, maybe it won't be
- 5:49because I know maybe it will. I was going to say the, you
- 5:55know, these characters mightn't have as wide appeal as figure
- 5:59Obscura. You know, for example, putting
- 6:02up like Jacob Marley every, you know, a lot of people outside of
- 6:05our community would know about that, but maybe Glass character
- 6:08mightn't be as familiar to a wide group.
- 6:13I feel like it's it's going to be at least sort of deluxe
- 6:18presentation though, with the amount of stuff that's going to
- 6:21come with that. Something that's the very least
- 6:25and and who knows where they collaborate after this.
- 6:27So, you know, they could collaborate with the with the
- 6:29very widely known creator after this.
- 6:32Not sure. I think this might be more of a
- 6:35an indie thing, but we we really have to see where it goes.
- 6:38But you know, I'm. Excited to see.
- 6:40With with a, with a very well known line, then that might be
- 6:45totally different. And then they could go down the
- 6:49figure obscure a kind of route. I'm looking forward to seeing
- 6:53Eric's take on The Muppets, because obviously.
- 6:55Jeremy is a muppet. Obsessed.
- 6:56So I can presume that's that's going down the line yeah, that's
- 7:01something where, you know, our tastes align.
- 7:03So I'd be very happy to, you know, the guys think is cool,
- 7:08but you know, I I will be looking at this more from is it
- 7:12a cool figure? Does it fit into to what I want
- 7:15or does it have parts that I maybe want to to pick up as
- 7:19extras for customs or something like that?
- 7:21So I put maybe if it was a Sesame Street line, I would be
- 7:24looking really at the characters and and how they're done.
- 7:27So that is interesting. So yeah, let's not talk too much
- 7:32more about that because we've already kind of aged the show
- 7:34then, you know, couple of other news, little bits.
- 7:42July arrival of the rest of All Star 6.
- 7:45So that's on the water if you haven't heard, on the way to the
- 7:50Four Horsemen and they should be able to start shipping it out in
- 7:53July. The rest of the orders.
- 7:54So if you have, you know, single figures or, you know, whatever
- 7:59you ordered, that's not an all in from the Horsemen that'll be
- 8:01coming then and retailers will then get their St. date, I think
- 8:06in early August. Is is it's the 18th of August,
- 8:09the 18th of August. That's actually been a date.
- 8:11OK, perfect. Well, I I had an e-mail from the
- 8:14UK retailer. So OK, I'm not sure if those one
- 8:17have announced it, but the UK retailer definitely Yeah, OK,
- 8:19well, there you go breaking news.
- 8:21If you didn't know, or maybe and maybe that's only the European
- 8:25No, because they did have the different ones for.
- 8:29Said the same. Oh, did they OK?
- 8:31I'm sure they did, yeah. And then in terms of the
- 8:36schedule, so and all the in stock orders have been shipped
- 8:41out, they said all the in stock sale orders are up to date.
- 8:44So and if you have an in stock sale order should be on the way.
- 8:49Mine arrived today. Oh, did they?
- 8:52Did you get a chance to ironically?
- 8:55Yeah, well, just crack them open.
- 8:56But it's it's the two where I bought FOMO over the nights in
- 9:01case they sell out soon and some cosmic what?
- 9:11Do you call them builders? Have you got?
- 9:13Builders. Yeah, For, you know, century and
- 9:16fantastic. Yeah, I just bought a few of
- 9:18them. Just read.
- 9:19So I had. Figures to customize.
- 9:22Good idea, Cheapest. To get them, Isn't it so?
- 9:25Yeah, I did that during the sale last year, the whatever Summer
- 9:29of Kosmerian. I picked up a couple of them.
- 9:33I actually resisted this time because I have about 12 of each
- 9:36of the male builders. It's like that might do me for
- 9:39now. Yeah.
- 9:40Yeah, there's, there's always more stuff coming, you know, so
- 9:47that's cool. And then we have the schedule
- 9:51after that is tracks on one. So Cosmic Legions tracks in book
- 9:55one for they still say Q3. So probably end of September
- 10:01might be the earliest we see that kind of start to it's in
- 10:06production now apparently. So if we look at that for
- 10:10August, September shipping to the Horsemen and then Rising
- 10:14Suns after that, they're hoping to get for year end.
- 10:18So that's the leaders Conway from 2023.
- 10:23So that's the one with the Bear and Atlas and all those kind of
- 10:28white Barbarians that Rich loves.
- 10:31That'd be great if they. No, I just clarify.
- 10:33Don't know the Barbarians. I was going to say something
- 10:35else, but I'd be great to have it in for envy.
- 10:38Yeah. Yeah, I would, yeah.
- 10:39I mean, ultimate would be to if they had that kind of in time
- 10:42for allegiance gone where they were able to sell.
- 10:45But I think you're we're dreaming probably at that point.
- 10:48So let's see. Yeah.
- 10:52And then obviously then probably early next year we get the
- 10:55tracks in Book 2 and Ashes like Bendor.
- 10:58So Ashes like Bendor, I think they what they initially were
- 11:01hoping to get a bit out within the 12 months that's obviously
- 11:03been rearranged. Now.
- 11:04I don't know if they explicitly said that, but you know,
- 11:07implicitly by the timeline that they've shared.
- 11:09So and they also sorry yeah, maybe you've got the same
- 11:14involves me. No, no, no, I was just going to
- 11:17say that they talked. Sorry if I'd taken you off rail
- 11:19here, John. No, they talked originally about
- 11:22the Thrax on waves coming off one off the other.
- 11:23So obviously that's changed now as well if rising Suns is going
- 11:26to be next. So they've obviously just had to
- 11:27shift it around a bit. But yeah, I do think that was
- 11:31that was because of, you know, that it would have kind of been
- 11:36similar parts and they could have got it through.
- 11:38But I think now that it's kind of gone on a bit longer, that
- 11:42would probably delay other stuff that they really need to be kind
- 11:45of hitting their mark on. And whereas they, you know, the
- 11:49tracks on Book 2 was only this time last year or even a bit
- 11:54early later than this time last year.
- 11:55So it's not even a year yet. And then there's other stuff
- 12:01like I think the Cosmic heads packs and other stuff.
- 12:04Can you think of anything else that was small like that?
- 12:07But they might be arriving in the middle Silver night.
- 12:10It's got to come. Yeah.
- 12:12With the broken stuff yeah. So, so that stuff that could pop
- 12:15up in between in those, they'll I assume what they'll do is
- 12:19they'll slot those into whatever production run suits at the time
- 12:24or in between production runs because they'd probably be
- 12:26quicker, you know, yeah, makes sense.
- 12:29So, so I think we, we won't be short of stuff to put on the
- 12:33shelves and, uh, Entertainer says with.
- 12:37Well, talk about the neck chronominous wave.
- 12:39I've, I've, I was saying to you guys, what's now I'm going to
- 12:41have to move things about because that neck chronominous
- 12:44wave shelf is now looking very similar or not far off the
- 12:48Aritha shelf with the amount of skellies we've got now.
- 12:52Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it's a it's getting quite
- 12:56populated with a lot of cool characters and especially the
- 13:00newer ones, a very interesting back story.
- 13:04Well, and and with some of the sort of the builder figures for
- 13:07the for the newest waves that encourages you that's so good
- 13:12encourages you to do multiple builds and fill up yourself.
- 13:15That's. True, yeah, I don't have enough
- 13:20room for my current stuff, never mind a load of new ones.
- 13:22So that's a future rich problem. And I know, I know they're not
- 13:27part of the mythics, but the graveyard skeletons, I'm still
- 13:31waiting for my order of those. I think that they will.
- 13:36Yeah. I think they were for end of May
- 13:38with my retailer for whatever reason.
- 13:40OK, so maybe, maybe I'll be getting to the summons to pay
- 13:45soon. And yeah, I think I'll put them
- 13:49on my Necronomic chef. I mean, that makes the most
- 13:51sense to me. That's it.
- 13:53I'll put one on my Necronomic shelf and the rest to kind of
- 13:56for parts and tea because it's the cheapest skeletons to use
- 13:59for parts. Yeah, they're going to be my
- 14:02cosmic skellies. Those.
- 14:04Yeah, they're, they're a good colour for, I like the sort of
- 14:08not bleached look, but it's that sort of different bone colour
- 14:11sort of thing. So you can imagine the cosmic
- 14:13rays have got it or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is.
- 14:16They are very cool. Absolutely.
- 14:19OK. Shall we get on to Necronominus
- 14:23then? Let's do it.
- 14:27This is Thomas Ballet at T Ballet.
- 14:30You're listening to the Euro Legions podcast.
- 14:34Cool. So how we're going to do this, I
- 14:36think is to go through an economic and his children first
- 14:39to kind of set the scene for the for the faction.
- 14:42And then we'll go through the BIOS of the other characters.
- 14:46Know some of the characters, like the early Legion builders
- 14:48didn't have BIOS. But yeah.
- 14:51And, and there's all the information that we talk about
- 14:56here is available on Source Horsemen.
- 14:57So this is where we source it. I mean, it's the BIOS are on the
- 15:01packages, the figures as well, but they're all there on Source
- 15:03Horsemen. And there's a really great
- 15:05article on Source Horsemen about Necronomus and his children.
- 15:11So that's worth checking out for more details on this and stuff
- 15:16like that. So I've put them in a slightly
- 15:19different order to the article. I put them in the order of
- 15:24release. That might be makes sense for us
- 15:28to talk about them that way. And the first one was Malleus
- 15:33Mall. Let's do this.
- 15:37Malleus as one of the three remaining children of
- 15:41Necronominus himself. Malleus is true underworld
- 15:45royalty, serving as the ear of Necrom non Necronominus until
- 15:51his master's return. He serves as judge, jury, and
- 15:54executioner to any who pose a threat to his father's
- 15:58teachings. A deeply devout follower of his
- 16:01father's words and scripture, Malleus quickly dispatches those
- 16:05who diverge from the path that has been chosen for his
- 16:08congregation, stumbling over a few words there.
- 16:13Necronominus son of a gun to get your mouth right.
- 16:18The first time I met Travis balls, I said try to say
- 16:20Necronominus and just said something completely different
- 16:22is like it's catching golf. So yeah, he was the first one at
- 16:30the start of the line and does this team with this middle child
- 16:35thing with the with some of these said, well, I mean,
- 16:38obviously, but there is a particular theme here with the
- 16:43middle children of Necronominus where they try and kind of outdo
- 16:49themselves to prove how great they are.
- 16:51You know, it's a little bit of inferiority complex because of
- 16:54the middle child. And he's he's tagged as being
- 16:59the most blindly devoted of the children.
- 17:03He's a zealous, no tolerance for anyone that would stray from the
- 17:07beliefs. So you know, I think you get a
- 17:09clearer picture then of the type of character he is.
- 17:12The executioner element of his of his bio sort of points to the
- 17:19fact that he's that you know, that's why he's got the two
- 17:22giant axes and years just seem sort of swinging them or you can
- 17:26in your, you know, in your mind's eye sort of thing seems
- 17:30swinging them around, culling anyone he doesn't think is doing
- 17:34the right thing, isn't it? You can tell he's one of the
- 17:38earlier figures. They can't you at this point is
- 17:42he's possibly due an update. And of course, as somebody on
- 17:48this podcast suggested recently, an update with an execution as
- 17:52Hood on would be amazing. Yeah, that's true.
- 17:58But that might do. Like I do like the fact that he
- 17:59kills people that don't stick to the path though, because the
- 18:01path is basically die and be risen or don't die.
- 18:06You know, those are the two options.
- 18:07There's not like a middle ground going, well, I might be
- 18:10interested in dying and then being brought back to life, or I
- 18:12might not. That's not really a thing, is
- 18:15it? It's like, you know, I'm running
- 18:16the other way because I don't want to be killed or.
- 18:21Yeah, but I think that hood thing might get them into
- 18:25trouble, like they got into trouble.
- 18:28So yeah, do it sensibly. It's not, it's not the figure
- 18:33that's oh, they could. It's people.
- 18:34They. Could do that.
- 18:36They could do that and then have goods hood.
- 18:38No. Yeah, yeah.
- 18:40With a guillotine accessory. That would be good.
- 18:45There you go. Maybe a bucket for the heads to
- 18:47fall in. Just throwing it out there now.
- 18:51We're getting into figure obscuratory.
- 18:53We are. Yeah.
- 18:53Basically, Yeah. Sorry, I shut up, man.
- 18:56So is, is the first figure to come with the the hinge jaw as
- 19:00well for skeleton. I think that was for a long time
- 19:02that was called the kind of Malleus head because, you know,
- 19:06that was the first figure that he came with.
- 19:07So and and it's been reused on a number of skeletons.
- 19:14I mean no harm skeleton head. I think that's one of the
- 19:17easiest ones that can be reused. You know, his bio does mention
- 19:22the three remaining children of Necronominus.
- 19:27So they had already planned a bit of the story, but not not
- 19:32fully the the what do we have the 6th here now?
- 19:37So but that was explained away then with the the fact that
- 19:44those are the children that we now have, which we get on to.
- 19:49They were also banished with Necronominus after the first
- 19:52Great War. So that's why they weren't on
- 19:54the scene. So it's Malleus and Morgulit and
- 20:01Brother Mandibulus that stuck around.
- 20:04The question I have with that is would they be annoyed to stick
- 20:08around because they couldn't go with their dad, or would they
- 20:10go? We managed to hang around.
- 20:12You'd actually you got banished. We're better.
- 20:16I, I think it feels like they've tried to scheme and plot and
- 20:22seen it as an opportunity whilst also hiding away.
- 20:25That's how it sort of feels to me.
- 20:27Hmm. So yeah, so I think probably
- 20:30smug about it really, but then not the bravest really when it
- 20:35comes down to it. I mean, when you look at Mally
- 20:38is here, I mean he's trying hard to pretend, you know, he's doing
- 20:41the real try hard thing to try and impress.
- 20:43That's true. You know, that's true
- 20:46definitely. He's kind of, he's black and
- 20:48white. You know, these are the rules.
- 20:50You break the rules, you know you're getting it.
- 20:54There's no room for negotiation. There's no room for anything.
- 20:57There's no room for wavering off any sort of path.
- 21:01You either are 100% on the same page as him, or you're or you're
- 21:06a goner. Yeah.
- 21:08That is true. Yeah.
- 21:09So perhaps smug, but also I take back the cowardliness they were
- 21:15they're putting themselves out. They're trying to grow the
- 21:18legions in in his absence. Yeah, I mean.
- 21:21I think definitely him and brother Mandibulus.
- 21:24But if we talk about Morgulus now, she's she's a little bit
- 21:28more along those lines, Mal where where she's kind of not
- 21:33quite out there and and she's you know, she took over.
- 21:40So we didn't know this back on her buyers, but she is the the
- 21:44leader of the congregation. So you can give us her bio
- 21:47maybe. Yeah, sure.
- 21:49Morgan Life, High Priestess and leader of the Congregation of
- 21:53Necronominus, Morgulus rules with resigned coldness reflected
- 21:57in her factions deadly efficiency.
- 22:00Less savage than her brother's Maleus and Mendibulus, her
- 22:03ability to see through the eyes of her dead soldiers keeps her
- 22:06perpetually aware of her army's actions.
- 22:09Truly believing that the moment it's arrived for her father
- 22:13Necronominus return, Morgulus is readying her faction for a new
- 22:18era of evil. So she's the the leader at the
- 22:26moment and she's doing this priestess thing.
- 22:30So she's kind of trying to, I suppose, keep the keep the kind
- 22:35of religion going or whatever, you know this.
- 22:38Yeah, the cult or whatever you call.
- 22:40It yeah, this kind of House of the Blessed Bone, they call it.
- 22:46So yeah, she's, she's the one that I wonder with the others
- 22:49coming back because she gets bumped now when comes back.
- 22:54So and she gets bumped to number 2 and, and effectively #3
- 23:00because Nick Anonymous is coming back.
- 23:02So, you know, I mean, it could even be #4 with Max Alias.
- 23:06Max Alias seems like the sort of guy that, you know, Nicaramus is
- 23:09going to go. He's my man.
- 23:11He's number three behind Thrasis.
- 23:13Yeah, yeah. Maybe, yeah, I mean, he's not
- 23:16he's not related. I was going to say blood
- 23:18relative, bone relative. He's not a bone relative, you
- 23:23know, he's bone marrow. Doesn't matter.
- 23:30But yeah, I think she's an interesting character.
- 23:34And it does. There's nowhere where it
- 23:38addresses where how she kind of took the return of terraces.
- 23:43So and. But I'm sure there's going to be
- 23:46at some point. Yeah, so we don't know really
- 23:49how she feels about it. And you got Anton Moron on
- 23:54Morglit. The figure is one of my favorite
- 23:58ones in the line. Yeah, it's such an amazing.
- 24:00She's a good one. She's a good one.
- 24:02I. Mean she can't hold that staff
- 24:04the toffee. But some old.
- 24:07It's a thing, sort of thing. But yeah, the figure itself is
- 24:10great. The old problem the 2.0 hands
- 24:12though isn't it? They can be a bit small for some
- 24:15of the weapons. And I've said before the line,
- 24:18you know, ruling with resigned calmness.
- 24:20I love that. Yeah, she'd be she'd she and
- 24:25Malius actually would be primed for her version 2.
- 24:28So I think we we addressed that in a recent episode.
- 24:31But she especially with the high priestess thing going on would
- 24:34be, you know, the whole soft goods thing.
- 24:36And and I'm still because that sculpt is so good that she comes
- 24:41with. I don't think they need to
- 24:43change it. They just need to put more
- 24:45detail on it some more, you know, more different.
- 24:49It's just A1 flat color. They could definitely pick out a
- 24:53bit more detail. It doesn't have to be like
- 24:55different colors, but different shades of the purple maybe would
- 24:58look amazing. Yeah.
- 25:01And there is an article about her on the source Horseman where
- 25:03they show you kind of some early prototype silver where the paint
- 25:08sculpt is slightly different or the paint job is slightly
- 25:11different, slightly different, where it has the I think a more
- 25:16of a flat purple and then silver highlights it.
- 25:18Didn't forget about that. Yeah.
- 25:22So yeah, I think she has a lot of future potential.
- 25:26Oh. Yes, for release and and more
- 25:31explanations in the BIOS or the book or whatever it comes to.
- 25:34Yeah, she's one of those, isn't she?
- 25:36Is a figure that she's great as she is, but in this age of
- 25:40updating them, can't wait to see what they could do with her now.
- 25:45Yeah, exactly. Right.
- 25:48And the other one that we had in the initial kind of building of
- 25:54the Necronomus wave was Brother Mandibulus.
- 25:56He came in Advent of Decay and and he's another cool one.
- 26:02Give us his biomel. Brother Mandibulus Mandibulus is
- 26:06the most vocal and visible of Necronomicus's 3 remaining
- 26:10children, often springing into action on his sister Morgolith's
- 26:13behalf. His aggressive ruthlessness is
- 26:16terrifying to behold. While his brother Malleus is
- 26:19obsessed with the preservation of their father's teachings and
- 26:23his sister Morgulus is focused on leading their faction and
- 26:26dibulous, his sights are set on the complete slaughter of all
- 26:30who oppose his family and their disciples.
- 26:36He's a, he's a It's, yeah. It's what says on the tin sort
- 26:39of guy, isn't he really? I look terrifying.
- 26:41I am terrifying. There we go.
- 26:43Yeah. And so then.
- 26:45Sorry, yeah, no man, Go, go. No, I was.
- 26:48Just going to go in and from a figure perspective, I actually
- 26:51think of the three, he's probably the one who least needs
- 26:54an update at this point. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 26:57Still great. I I think it was great they put
- 27:01him in the surprise boxes waiver with last year, whatever it was
- 27:05called the mysteries of mythos wave.
- 27:07So he he got a lot more out of him out there.
- 27:11So he's definitely it eased the pain on secondary market for him
- 27:15as well as everything else. And I don't think they need to
- 27:20do a version 2 of him at this point.
- 27:21No, definitely not. No, he's even his soft goods
- 27:25told he's got this great tattered skirt and OK, it's not
- 27:29wired and whatever, but doesn't need to be I don't think, you
- 27:32know. So yeah, he's yeah, he's just a
- 27:38cool. He looks like what he is, you
- 27:40know, he looks like he's the guy that's out there slashing heads.
- 27:44And he is, yeah. He's got that look about him
- 27:48that if you saw more battlefield, the first instant
- 27:50thing you had, whether you did or not would be run.
- 27:53Don't you know, like someone. I'm going to take him on.
- 27:56This one's like, no, I'm just going to head the other way.
- 28:00Yeah. And there's a so there's an
- 28:03interesting reference to him in the Hagnon bio that we get to as
- 28:06well. So maybe we'll get back to that
- 28:09when we get to the Hagnon bio. But yeah, it kind of gives you a
- 28:14little bit more insight into brother Mandebulus and or we
- 28:21could just mention that now, John and not worry about Hagmann
- 28:23because it's rubbish. We give Hagmann deals because
- 28:27he's an interesting, actually the most interesting thing about
- 28:29Hagmann is the bio. I think the story is by far the
- 28:33best thing about the figure. I I used to, I love Tagnon.
- 28:39I ordered him in my first order, but the Blue Hagmann thing just
- 28:43turned me on him. Don't know why, but the Blue
- 28:48Hagmann story is good. He's good.
- 28:49Yeah. Yeah.
- 28:50The story is great. So yeah, he's he's again with
- 28:55the middle child thing and he's going above and beyond to
- 28:58impress, you know, Daddy. So yeah, interesting stuff
- 29:03there. And interestingly, it sort of
- 29:05suggests, doesn't it, in the article, that Morgolith was
- 29:09using him a bit, You know, it was her weapon.
- 29:14So yeah, there's a bit of perhaps manipulation going on
- 29:19there or, or he's doing it willingly, you know which he
- 29:23probably probably is his neighbor.
- 29:24But now that she's bumped, so where does that leave him?
- 29:27Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
- 29:29He used to taking these orders from her so.
- 29:31Yeah, although he might just be one of those people he's happy
- 29:34to take orders from whoever tells him do this.
- 29:38He's just happy killing a maim it he's not the first part who's
- 29:41telling him to do it. It's like.
- 29:42Exactly exactly that. And a more recent figure we got
- 29:46coming up next. So the eldest child, Thoracis,
- 29:49the first risen Arch General of the congregation.
- 29:54What do we got from him, man? Thoracis, the First Risen, as
- 29:59the forces of death are called, from forth from their
- 30:02banishment. The first to emerge is the
- 30:04eldest child of Necronominus Thoracis the First Risen, the
- 30:09Arch General of the Congregation.
- 30:11Thoracis assumes command of his father's undead army, believing
- 30:15his sister Morgalith, relieving his sister Morgalith of the role
- 30:20she has served in since her father was banished in the First
- 30:23Age. During his long years in exile,
- 30:26Thoracis has prepared and prayed.
- 30:29After ages spent in silence supplication, those prayers have
- 30:33been answered. Thoracis has returned to usher
- 30:35forth the Liturgy of Bone, a celebration of death which will
- 30:40end of all, which will be the end of all life in mythos.
- 30:47So this this seems to be the first reference to that little
- 30:51Liturgy of Bone in the BIOS. But yeah, interesting with him
- 31:00that he's kind of spent his time in exile praying.
- 31:03So kind of just to, you know, I suppose Morglet as the high
- 31:08priestess, now he's taken over, he still has that kind of, you
- 31:12know, religious or kind of, you know, whatever cultist kind of
- 31:16brain type of thing going on. But he's also kind of called the
- 31:21arch general. So to me that suggests like
- 31:25commanding an army, you know, Yes.
- 31:27For sure. Oh yeah, he's I love the.
- 31:29Fact that he's the first one through, it's not like send a
- 31:33couple of minions in case there's something nasty waiting
- 31:35on the other side. It's like, Nope, I'm doing it.
- 31:38No, I'm doing it yet. Really like that on the front.
- 31:40Yeah, yeah. Older brother doing what?
- 31:44He's getting. The oldest brother, in fact,
- 31:46isn't he, you know, taking charge.
- 31:48I want Jeremy's book to have a bit where more glyphs season
- 31:51coming out and going. Oh.
- 32:00He's gone. Oh well, I can go on all this
- 32:04mother, take my annual leave. Not all this old.
- 32:10Fart. Yeah.
- 32:12So there is on this Liturgy of Bone.
- 32:15There is stuff that we need to find out about it.
- 32:18We don't know really what it is other than it's a celebration of
- 32:22death. So you know that.
- 32:26I think it's obvious when you see Necronominus coming along,
- 32:29the death is following him, you know?
- 32:32Well, it it, it does sort of suggest I think this is cool.
- 32:36This is a cool story element that OK, they're clearly going
- 32:39to team up the the the dark four against the legions of light,
- 32:45but they also have their own, what's the term agenda as well.
- 32:53It doesn't it, which is good because it's sort of
- 32:56backstabbing, double dealing, you know, a bit of Game of
- 32:59Thrones going on. Again with the book, it'd be
- 33:02interesting if any of that happens in the book, which then
- 33:05helps the the Legions of Light win.
- 33:09You know, he's looking really bad.
- 33:10Suddenly Arathea realises what Necronominus is going to do and
- 33:13turns his legions on them. And it then goes, you know, Oh
- 33:18yeah, that's interesting because as we'll see with Necronominus,
- 33:22he he seems to be the leader of the Dark 4.
- 33:25You know, Necronominus, he's the one that's kind of the most in
- 33:28charge. So in terms of the figure
- 33:33himself, Thoracus comes with the cool faction shield and this
- 33:40kind of soft goods banner. So that tells you also a bit
- 33:44about him. Just from those parts, you
- 33:47understand he's important. So, yeah, he's the kind of, he's
- 33:53the main man outside of Necromanous, of course.
- 33:57Can I just put a plea out now, though, to our listeners,
- 33:59whatever you do, don't take his soft good tunic and put it on a
- 34:02barbering. Our good friend Curtis did that.
- 34:07He loved it. No, there's no need for that
- 34:09much cleavage on display. So please don't do that.
- 34:12It does look a bit cleavagey. All right.
- 34:15Yeah. Yeah, not in a good way, I'd
- 34:18say, from our perspective at least, Right?
- 34:24And then we've got a blue lit. So blue lit is not a skeleton.
- 34:31So that's an interesting thing about her.
- 34:33She's a ghoul. And we find out what.
- 34:40What I was going to say And ghouls just want to have fun,
- 34:44don't they? I.
- 34:49Mean never did and if there wasn't licensing laws I could
- 34:54just drop that song in here, but not going to happen so just
- 34:57imagine it in your own name. Damn copyright.
- 35:02OK, give us a balloon. Let's bio.
- 35:06Right Billy Williff. When Necronominus was recalled
- 35:11to Mythos, he did not return alone.
- 35:13Loyal acolytes of the Lord of Death who had been banished with
- 35:16him after the First Great War returned as well, including the
- 35:20ghoulish child of Necronominus named Beluolith, A beastmaster
- 35:25who commands the skeletal Chimera, the Legion of
- 35:28Tuberculae, as well as other and natural monsters that have not
- 35:31been seen in Mythos since the First Age.
- 35:34She resumes her role as one of the generals in her father's
- 35:38undead army. Just badass.
- 35:41Yeah, make the best character in Necron.
- 35:44Well, besides Tubercula the best.
- 35:47But she controls the tuberculosis, so.
- 35:49Yeah, yeah. Well, that's it, That's it, you
- 35:51know? And what what we, I think it's
- 36:00worth doing also barebacks bio now as well because we learned,
- 36:04we learned something very important about the relationship
- 36:08between Beridak and Balulith from his bio.
- 36:14Beridak. The.
- 36:15Towering presence known as Beridak emerges from banishment
- 36:19along with his twin, the Beastmaster Balulith, the
- 36:22youngest of Necronominus's children.
- 36:24The twins are always by his side.
- 36:27Beridak serves as a warden to his father, and he's ready to
- 36:31destroy any who would dare to stand against his family or
- 36:34their teachings. Finally reunited to the six
- 36:38children and Necronominus once again walk in the realm of
- 36:41mythos. So there you go, twins the the
- 36:48big huge overscale barodac and the ghoulish 2 point O Smaller,
- 36:56much smaller balloon it, but probably scarier.
- 37:00You know we know nicked all the nutrients while in the womb.
- 37:06Well, this, this is what this is where I go when they talk about
- 37:09children. I don't think they're conceived
- 37:12in the way that most human children are, are they?
- 37:16It must, it must be some sort of perhaps the first people.
- 37:20He he he brought back to life when he was first became
- 37:26Necronominus. I don't know.
- 37:27I don't know how it would work. That's the boring one Mal.
- 37:30Like skeletons getting jiggy with it.
- 37:31That's the interesting. Thing.
- 37:35We put a demon lying in there. Makes you wonder what Mrs.
- 37:40Necromanus looks like, doesn't it?
- 37:42Yeah, actually that, you know, that that's maybe something we
- 37:46need to explain. Yeah, yeah, the birds and the
- 37:48bees. But for the Necronomanous
- 37:50faction, the picture book as well.
- 37:55So this is how it worked. So interestingly, we don't know
- 38:02for sure if Barodac is a skeleton either under all that
- 38:05armour. So no, that's also fun thing to
- 38:10imagine. I mean his helmet does have some
- 38:13tusks coming out of it that look pretty Bony.
- 38:18So, but that could be just part of the helmet, you know, that
- 38:20could be could be glued on from some other creature that balloon
- 38:23it has taken over and. It's a good point, yeah.
- 38:30But Balloon it is, yeah. She is the scariest in terms of
- 38:35what she can do with the monsters and all that, and also
- 38:39gives us a cool, you know, possibility that there can be
- 38:44other monsters beyond the tuberculae, which we get on to.
- 38:49But they're already cool because they can have different forms as
- 38:52well, you know? Yeah.
- 38:56Yeah. I mean, we've already got the
- 38:57Chimera, which is a terrifying skeletal beasts.
- 39:00Yeah. Why not some different ones?
- 39:03Absolutely. Can I can I call it now when we
- 39:04get the book I keep referring to the book.
- 39:06It's like a promo for for awesome book.
- 39:09Yeah. I should be prominent.
- 39:11My prediction is that Jack ends. Oh right.
- 39:17You think he the same sort of size.
- 39:19So they I mean, no, he's we know Jack survives the war.
- 39:24OK, because he was in. She's like Bendor story, wasn't
- 39:29he? So he was.
- 39:30Yeah, he was. Yeah.
- 39:31So I'm I'm going for that. He ends Berodak episode 76 if
- 39:36anyone wants that. Ash is about Bendor story I
- 39:42think. Or maybe there were still the
- 39:44stories. Anyway, there's some stories in
- 39:45episode. I couldn't tell you what we did
- 39:483 weeks ago in the so John's like 7670.
- 39:51Six. Yeah, I know.
- 39:51Yeah. Look for the lower you you won't
- 39:53find some of the lower ones with the stories you won't find on
- 39:57YouTube, so you'll have to search for them in the podcast
- 39:59players and right and they are always by your side, those two.
- 40:07So it's like they have separation anxiety or I don't
- 40:11know why, but that leaves a weird dynamic now between the
- 40:15ones like the Malleus and Brother Mandibulus.
- 40:21They're at the front chopping heads, you know, doing
- 40:24executioner things, smashing people up.
- 40:28And then you've got these two kind of 1 is more than anyone
- 40:32touch Necronominus if he gets near him.
- 40:34And the other one is, you know, just beside him controlling all
- 40:37these kind of undead beasts. So it's a, it's a.
- 40:41It's an interesting dynamic. And it hints at other undead
- 40:46beasts besides tuberculite could possibly show up at some point,
- 40:50so. Ogre scale, and that's ogre
- 40:53scale or troll scale even. Yes, what it is all sorts, all
- 40:58sorts or an in between scale just to just about we don't
- 41:01need, you know, just a bunker scale, just really modular bone
- 41:05type of thing. You know, I really don't do a
- 41:07troll scale one because I'd have to get it, but I've got a troll,
- 41:10another troll. I got 10 year.
- 41:12You can, you can squeeze it in, you know, it'll be, it'll be all
- 41:16bones. Yeah, from the studios listing.
- 41:19Do it make rich spend the money? And make Rich explain to his
- 41:28wife how the collection spreading out from the spare
- 41:30bedroom into the landing, then down the stairs.
- 41:36Look, it'll it's a never. It'll never to be happen anyway.
- 41:39You know, I've already told my daughter as soon as she heads
- 41:42off to university, Boom, For that room's gone.
- 41:43It's mine. But Rich, I can see a bookshelf
- 41:46behind you. And I mean, that clearly doesn't
- 41:48need to have books on it. I suggested this.
- 41:51There's an entire wall over there for.
- 41:55A Yeah, yeah. But no, apparently that's no
- 41:59shouldn't say that too loudly again and again.
- 42:00Yeah, it would be a great backdrop to the podcast every
- 42:04week as well. You know, see what Rich has on
- 42:05the face. If the two of you could message
- 42:09Kerry and let her know, that'd be great.
- 42:12Rich said. Rich told me to.
- 42:17I'm not. Sure.
- 42:18It's not as effective, is it? Instead of you know what?
- 42:22I had a great idea for our show, it involves, It involves one of
- 42:27the rooms in your house, right? To round out this children of
- 42:33Necronominus, we should of course have Dad himself
- 42:37Necronominus. So why don't we look at his bio?
- 42:43OK Necronominus, the last of the Dark 4 to return to Mythos.
- 42:48Necronominus is the most powerful of these evil gods.
- 42:51Whilst the Dark Four have no leader, they all defer to
- 42:54Necronominus, for all their power leads to death.
- 42:58And that is his domain, a vision of pure horror.
- 43:02Clad in tattered vestments and wielding the mighty God Raiser,
- 43:06Necronominus resurrects an army of the undead to follow behind
- 43:10him. They're a mindless force,
- 43:12totally devoted to the Lord of Death and his children, an army
- 43:16that swells as fallen foes are touched by the dark magic of the
- 43:20God. Raiser to become soldiers of the
- 43:22Congregation of Necronominus. So that is the the thing about
- 43:29him is that he can build his army as he's gone along, you
- 43:32know. So he's got obviously, you know,
- 43:36as we'll see when we go through the other characters, he's got
- 43:39various characters, armies, you know, bunches of characters, but
- 43:43he can just build more by, you know, touching them with the God
- 43:46raiser. So yeah.
- 43:50He did well. It just, it just fills you with
- 43:52a sort of sense of, well, you know, you can imagine being
- 43:56there in the sense of awe and fear.
- 43:59It's just this, I don't know, army of undead just start
- 44:04appearing out of the ground, literally appearing from the
- 44:07ground or marching forward or, you know, or as it crosses the
- 44:13the countryside, just growing and growing.
- 44:17Yeah, and it's mentioned in that article that no, no other army
- 44:20follows their master the way that the Congregation follows
- 44:23Necronominus, so loyalty isn't an issue there.
- 44:27So whereas you could see, eh, you know, maybe especially
- 44:31Aritha, you could see with the variety of different characters
- 44:36and character traits within the Legion of Arthur, you could see
- 44:39some of them just open sticks and forming their own little,
- 44:43you know, splinter factions or whatever, like.
- 44:45That which which has been hinted at already, I think within
- 44:48within that. So the goblins, yeah.
- 44:52And the. And the dwarfs, the caverns
- 44:55dwarfs and stuff like that, you know, Bromden and his crew.
- 44:58So I was just I was trying to quick check on Horsemen to see
- 45:01if I could find the article. But they talked somewhere about
- 45:04the Heavens Brand sword giving people life, right?
- 45:09So I can imagine this battle between like somebody gets
- 45:12killed and Gideon's their first grade.
- 45:13Nope, come back on my side. Necroman says like, damn it,
- 45:20right. So.
- 45:21But can it, you know, if they're full bone, can it?
- 45:24No. They might be in trouble at that
- 45:25point. That might be, yeah.
- 45:27So it'd be interesting to see. But as we see with some of the
- 45:31other characters, there is, you know, zombies and stuff within
- 45:36the congregation of Necronominus.
- 45:37So it's not all just bone people.
- 45:40So yeah. And so, yeah, they're building
- 45:44up to this, you know, when the Dark 4 returns.
- 45:49So that's when Necronominus comes back, Necronominus wave
- 45:52and Ulster 6. And the situation becomes
- 45:56increasingly dire in Mythos for the Legions of Light.
- 46:00And Necronominus is making his way towards the center of Mythos
- 46:04and the mighty castle of the Four Sides.
- 46:08And it is where the Dark 4 fell during the First Great War, and
- 46:13it's where they're going to converge once again, but this
- 46:16time they will be not so easily bested.
- 46:20So the bells of the House of Blessed Bone begin to toll,
- 46:24ringing loudly over the rolling seas of the Deadlands and making
- 46:28their chilling call heard across the realm of mythos.
- 46:32The Liturgy of Bone has begun. So it's going to be interesting
- 46:40and. And we already see a little bit
- 46:41of the aftermath of that with that the ashes of a Bender wave,
- 46:46but it's we don't really know the detail of what happened.
- 46:51And that's where the book will fill us in, as we understand.
- 46:56So that book, that's the one coming.
- 47:00That's not the one coming with Silver Knight, is it?
- 47:02That the Silver Knight one is the is the figures really.
- 47:05Yeah. Yeah.
- 47:06So it'll be the lower book will come after that.
- 47:09So that hasn't been solicited yet.
- 47:10So you haven't missed anything in terms of of ordering that or
- 47:14pre ordering that. So I think I've said I'm a I'm a
- 47:17law addict and I think I'm actually looking forward to the
- 47:21book more than the figures. Well, this is what you do.
- 47:25You like you write, you write law for yourself and then you
- 47:28build custom factions, which we've, you know, we've been
- 47:31through and we would have been to be through again on this
- 47:33podcast where we talk about your cool custom factions.
- 47:36They're really fun and it's really fun when you get it
- 47:42together to actually put your customs together and take a
- 47:45couple of pics of them and and then we can actually really talk
- 47:49about it. If anyone's watching on YouTube
- 47:51with a small child, just get them to look away just for a
- 47:52second. OK, Look at your back again now.
- 47:58No, you're not totally right though, John.
- 48:00Yes, well, I used, I was off on holiday last week.
- 48:02I need some of that time to pull out a load of figures so I can
- 48:05stop putting stuff together. I sent you guys a picture of
- 48:07that. I'm that close to finishing the
- 48:10other day. So yeah.
- 48:14Inches from finishing. Yeah, 66 inches from finishing.
- 48:23Yeah, we had the conversation before we started this recording
- 48:25about inches and feet and meters and kilometers and why it makes
- 48:29more sense. So, you know, that's just a
- 48:31continuation of that. Sorry.
- 48:33You know, all you wondering who keep people behind the scenes in
- 48:36Photon? But then I don't have to edit it
- 48:38out, explain it. That was something I used to put
- 48:44a shirt on. And I complain bitterly, but
- 48:46when it calls a shirt. So yeah, it's all going to hell
- 48:49at that point. Well, I mean, your camera is at
- 48:53a good angle that we wouldn't see your moves, but I still
- 48:56don't think it would be good luck.
- 48:58I do curses, start waving them. Even Curtis doesn't live stream,
- 49:05he just. Yeah.
- 49:08He's done everything else. If he live, seems naked, I want
- 49:12to see him doing under the duvet he bought from us.
- 49:15Then he wouldn't be naked. He'd have the duvet.
- 49:17Well, he but just that, you know.
- 49:19Yeah. Just to hide his modesty.
- 49:22Yeah, don't say this because he will.
- 49:24Do it. Yeah, Yeah, you're just that's.
- 49:27Why I've said it now come on, there's some poor people out
- 49:32there that are like, why are these guys breaking off from the
- 49:34awesome eh economist talk about this stuff that's going on in
- 49:40the community, right? And so then we get to BIOS from
- 49:44the other characters that the Necronominus and I suggest here
- 49:49that we start with Hagnon and then Blue Hagnon now.
- 49:52That's what I was going to say. Can we do them that way?
- 49:54Yeah, I'll just do them both straight after the other, so.
- 49:57The first one's hagnon. Oh, you can.
- 50:00Sorry. Hagnon, once a proud soldier in
- 50:03the Order of Ether on Hagnon, LED a legendary campaign that
- 50:06led to one of the Congregation and Necronominus's greatest
- 50:09defeat. Later haunted and captured by
- 50:12the treacherous Brother Mandibulus, who was brought to
- 50:15the unforgiving Morgolith for his final reckoning.
- 50:19In a chilling act of revenge, Morgal offended Hagnon's life
- 50:23and resurrected him as one of her own.
- 50:25Eternally chained and shackled for his crimes, he has become
- 50:28the menacing and forever conflicted ghostly agent of
- 50:31Necronominus. And then Blue Hagnon, which we
- 50:36will see from the story is is a later version of him.
- 50:40Blue Hagnon Necronominus has returned, and the undead armies
- 50:44of his Congregation are called to his side.
- 50:46Hagnon has spent ages trying to free himself from the shackles
- 50:50that Mogolith has placed upon him.
- 50:53Once nothing more than an insubstantial ghost of his
- 50:56former self, Hagnon's power has grown.
- 50:59He now glows with blue spectral energy as he takes up the sword
- 51:03and shield. Will he join the undead in their
- 51:06March against the Legions of Light, or will his spirit be
- 51:09able to master this new power and once again become the proud
- 51:13soldier who fought with the pious Knights of the Order of
- 51:16Ether on so how cool is that as about the whole?
- 51:22Story in the bio. You can't argue that, yeah.
- 51:24Yeah, the as I said, the BIOS make up for the figure,
- 51:29especially in Blue Agnon's case. So, yeah, can't ask for for more
- 51:34than that. And I have a couple of of
- 51:37comments on on the BIOS. So first on Hagman, they talk
- 51:40about the treacherous brother Mandibulus.
- 51:42I mean, treacherous to who? It's a little bit of a strange
- 51:47that is, yeah. Because he can't have been
- 51:50betrayed Hagmann, surely. So it's like, how is he being
- 51:54treacherous? Yeah.
- 51:56So that just might be explained away by all.
- 51:58It was early in the line. We weren't paying as much
- 52:01attention to the law as maybe we should have.
- 52:04Possibly. But that to me is a bit of a
- 52:07strange line. But I'm willing to be corrected
- 52:09on that if someone has a good explanation.
- 52:12So, you know, and then he's kind of chained and shackled for his
- 52:19crimes. But an OK, this might explain
- 52:23because Necromanus is not back, but couldn't he be just touched
- 52:27by the guard razor and then you know he's off?
- 52:33Potentially. Potentially.
- 52:34So we don't need to have Blue Hagnon, just give him a little
- 52:38slip, give him an A slip of the guard racer.
- 52:41But they're suggesting that he's he's becoming quite a powerful
- 52:47entity, aren't they? In the in the blue Hagnon
- 52:50version and he could actually break free of the the spell of.
- 52:54Yeah, which is why they need to get the God razor on just yeah,
- 52:58to cut the nip that in the bud. Nip that crack in the bud here
- 53:04and it'll it'll take him. It won't.
- 53:06He won't be translucent either anymore either.
- 53:08He'll just be skeleton Legion builder too.
- 53:13Boom, problem solved. You're both just wrong guitar.
- 53:21Or you'll go in Cagnon just to flog a figure.
- 53:27No, I'll leave that to the customizers.
- 53:28I mean, Dirk designs. He does great dye jobs of the
- 53:31various. So you know, although I think
- 53:34it's probably easier to dye the original Agnon.
- 53:38I would imagine because trying to dye blue Hagnon a different
- 53:43colour. You, you've got a lot of stuff
- 53:45going on there were, you know, if you try and dine pink, you'll
- 53:49probably get purple. And the other thing I had from
- 53:54the blue Hagnon is if he changes for the good, does that mean
- 54:00that we'd be talking about blue Hagnon or, or, you know, the
- 54:04next iteration of Hagnon in Etheron as a ghost Angel?
- 54:10That'd be cool. I was thinking it'd be fun.
- 54:12I mean, of all the figures to end up with multiple versions
- 54:15of, it'd be kind of fun to get the the pre captured hanging on
- 54:19and the. Post like no, but this would be
- 54:21good. This would be OK you you could
- 54:24you could also get the pre so make them you know.
- 54:26Whatever I know you're talking about.
- 54:28Yeah, yeah. But then you're the fourth.
- 54:29Yeah, yeah, is what I'm talking about.
- 54:30So it'd be fun to have four different hang ONS, two of which
- 54:36aren't translated. Rich's jaws just on the floor
- 54:39here, Can you? Imagine.
- 54:42We'll never hear the end of it from Colin, if that.
- 54:44Happens never, ever. I think it's a bit of the
- 54:48translucency Colin likes though, as much as anything.
- 54:51So yeah, but I think. He's all bought into the.
- 54:53You think he's bought into the whole?
- 54:55Character now yeah, he's going to take any version of as a win,
- 54:57isn't he? Yeah.
- 55:00And you know what people have to have their champions.
- 55:02I champion Briar fighters despite the fact that, you know,
- 55:07lots of people don't champion or maybe.
- 55:10Yeah. They flocking, don't liking.
- 55:12Yeah. So yeah, tell me now if the
- 55:16horsemen do that and you better not a horseman but to do that,
- 55:19then we may as well get me to stand in the corridor of legions
- 55:21Con and Eric trade away. Just take a run up and kick me
- 55:24as hard as you can in the bollocks because it's that sort
- 55:26of slap in the face. It's just.
- 55:28Like. Well, I tell you what, I'll pay
- 55:30for that, for content for. What they should not do?
- 55:35Is with whatever version they do of Hagnon next.
- 55:38If he's more human, give him action man style hair or GI Joe
- 55:42as it was to the to the Americans.
- 55:44So he's got fuzzy flocked. Movable eyes, little thing in
- 55:48the back of the head. You can move his eyes as well.
- 55:50That's. Getting a bit too far out right?
- 55:51Oh. Come on.
- 55:54Well, he has these big googly eyes, so, I mean, you could make
- 55:56them kind of, yeah, you know, and make googly eyes.
- 56:00So they're going all over the place.
- 56:02Yeah. One of them was aching, and this
- 56:08is the podcast where they lost their minds.
- 56:11Yeah. So let's go on to another Rich's
- 56:13favorite figures, and that's Clavian.
- 56:16Recently received in All Star 6 and still to be in July for a
- 56:20lot of you. Another one much blind by you
- 56:23too, and I think he's actually quite good.
- 56:26Clavian Unlike other skeleton soldiers raised from the dead,
- 56:30Clavian and his Crimson hued brethren are reborn of magic
- 56:34steeped in blood. The foul sorcery used to
- 56:37regenerate the Scarlet Demons also grants them augmented
- 56:41strength and the ability to remove and brandish their own
- 56:44bones as weapons, only to regrow them again and again.
- 56:48The magic running through Clavian's bones renders even his
- 56:52slightest touch lethally poisonous.
- 56:56It's a cool bio I will definitely give it though.
- 56:59That's the only good bit about claping is he can pull his own
- 57:01leg off and use it as a weapon. But that's a good bit.
- 57:04Did you see David Williams had posted?
- 57:09Yeah, picture of how he was going to display with his arm in
- 57:12his hand and it just looks so funny.
- 57:13But no, I totally want to do that as well.
- 57:16What they could have, what they could have done is, you know,
- 57:18through a couple of extra bone parts with him.
- 57:22That maybe would have been the way.
- 57:24And especially now that they have more bone parts, you know,
- 57:27But I know an All Stars version is just literally a copy of the
- 57:31original, but I think that's what would be so an interesting
- 57:37thing to point out here. So these guys are reborn of
- 57:40magic. But when we get on to scaphoid,
- 57:44he's he's a magic user who's been turned into a skeleton.
- 57:50So that's a kind of a subtle difference there.
- 57:56But well. And both both have that sort of
- 57:59poison element and. Yeah, toxic, but there's there's
- 58:03a difference between so the the red ones are they use magic to,
- 58:09you know, make them reborn and under these red poisonous guys,
- 58:14whereas scaphoid, he's the person that was he was he was
- 58:18killed. So, you know, it's like a
- 58:20basically congregation of Basilia almost person that was
- 58:25that was killed, you know. Oh sure, we should.
- 58:27We do scaffold next. Possibly is a.
- 58:29Yeah, one of the thing out on Clavian.
- 58:31I mean, if that power actually worked in real life for the
- 58:36figure, we just have an infinite supply of skeleton parts.
- 58:40It just because these bones regrow.
- 58:45So, you know, I need to do more skeleton customs.
- 58:48Pull off Clavian's arm. Oh, another one has just grown.
- 58:51Superb. So make that happen horsemen and
- 58:54then I'll tell you what we'll all be goods in you won't be
- 58:59you'll be bankrupt. I think they they could sell the
- 59:05the technology. Yeah, that's it.
- 59:08That's it. You have to buy the technology
- 59:09to do it often. Right, let's do scaphoid then.
- 59:13Yeah, let's do scaphoid to show off what you were talking about.
- 59:15South Scaphoid. When truly gifted magic users
- 59:19are killed and reborn by Necronominus's hand, their power
- 59:22seeps into their bones, staining them with spiritual remnants of
- 59:26their past life. Brimming with foul magic, these
- 59:29cursed skeletons have little control over their power, making
- 59:33them unpredictable time bombs of magic energy.
- 59:36Often thrown into a fight just to lay waste to all who some
- 59:40surround them, some learn to master their unstable talents.
- 59:45The most accomplished of these mythical Masters mystical
- 59:48masters is Scaphoid. Chosen to represent no
- 59:51Chronominus at the Covenant of Shadows, Scaphoid has been
- 59:55tasked with unleashing his dark power, and all present if the
- 59:59proceedings go awry. Another badass bio.
- 1:00:04Yeah. So the interesting thing about
- 1:00:05this bio is that the first half of it is like just introducing
- 1:00:09the character type and then the second-half of it is this
- 1:00:13particular one of of these type of characters actually has his
- 1:00:17shit together. And that's why he's chosen to go
- 1:00:20to the Covenant Shadow, which is a super cool part of the lore
- 1:00:25which we've spoken about before, but which we will hopefully
- 1:00:28further expand upon when the famous book arrives.
- 1:00:32You know you want to add there on scaffold Rich?
- 1:00:42No. Well actually yes.
- 1:00:43Bear with me a second. Let me lean forward here.
- 1:00:49That's what I've got to add. 4 scaphoids that arrived in a box.
- 1:00:52And Brett, what's happened to them?
- 1:00:57Are they going to get put new chef behind you?
- 1:01:00No, alas no two of them are going to be undead Egyptian
- 1:01:04style characters. And John, was anyone of those
- 1:01:08heads due to paint? OK, so, yeah, so I want a bit of
- 1:01:12a glowy. Do I need to refresh my scaphoid
- 1:01:15paint match? If you, if you could, that would
- 1:01:18be wonderful. That's fine.
- 1:01:20Just just wondering. Excellent.
- 1:01:26OK, who invented? Let's do cannabis next then now.
- 1:01:30OK. Yeah, cannabis.
- 1:01:34The skeletal steed of Necronominus Cannabis is every
- 1:01:37bit the vision of horror that his master is.
- 1:01:40It is said that the clopping of cannabis hooves awakens the
- 1:01:43dead, and then the touch of his masters relic weapon, the God
- 1:01:47Raiser brings them back from the peace of the grave.
- 1:01:50That makes them a soldier in his undead army.
- 1:01:53Once risen, they form up like supplicants behind the Lord of
- 1:01:56Death, moving in unison with the clopping of his pale horse.
- 1:02:04I was trying to imagine that. So this is OK, that sang on.
- 1:02:09Yeah. This is just an extension of the
- 1:02:12Necronomalist bio in a way, which is perfect because it's
- 1:02:14his horse and eh, you see how the horse is useful to
- 1:02:19Necronomalist. So can you, You can hear it now.
- 1:02:22Maybe I should add this in post, but you can hear the club Club.
- 1:02:26You really can. And then I think that's possibly
- 1:02:28the story. The scariest guy you've ever
- 1:02:30heard in any bio is that the horse.
- 1:02:31And then The thing is, on the whole, Can you imagine, you
- 1:02:35know, just, I don't know, you know, maybe being a kind of a
- 1:02:40knight or noble knight, you know, taking refuge for the
- 1:02:45night in a kind of a secluded place.
- 1:02:47And then you hear this noise in your.
- 1:02:49And next thing you're on day. Yeah, Yeah.
- 1:02:54It would be terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.
- 1:02:58Your best friend from night school suddenly burst into the
- 1:03:00door. Haven't been raised again,
- 1:03:05right? Let's do Maxillus the Harvester
- 1:03:09next month because he's. Fits in that story.
- 1:03:14Doesn't he fits in there? Yeah.
- 1:03:16Maxillus the Harvester Before the Lord of Death appears there
- 1:03:20is a Maxillus the Harvester. Necronominus comes forth to
- 1:03:25raise the dead and grow his army, and the Harvesters job is
- 1:03:29to give his masters fields of freshly reaped bodies to turn to
- 1:03:32his side. Mexilius is an unstoppable, is
- 1:03:35as unstoppable as the passage of time.
- 1:03:38He's a force of nature that cannot be reasoned with or
- 1:03:41slowed. He exists only to kill.
- 1:03:44Entire companies of Knights have fallen at his feet as the
- 1:03:47Harvester comes to reap a scythe in one hand and the nowglass
- 1:03:52swimming with the souls of his victims in the other.
- 1:03:55When you hear the rattling of the bones he wears upon his
- 1:03:57chest, you know the Harvester is close.
- 1:04:03Yeah, Did you get a little tangled for that one, Rich?
- 1:04:05Yeah, that's another one of those ones.
- 1:04:07He's like, oh, that's sell a million figures bio for me like
- 1:04:12that. You know, if, if, if that could
- 1:04:15be more out in front of, I don't know if you could pick up the
- 1:04:19package and it just, you know, there was a little sound chip in
- 1:04:22it that read that bio to you when you picked up the package.
- 1:04:26And you know, in a shop or at the convention or something to
- 1:04:29be just like, OK, I'll, I'll take 4.
- 1:04:32Yeah, well, I I bought a fair few of him because he's such a
- 1:04:34cool figure and save. He exists only to kill.
- 1:04:39So yeah, that's a that's all you need to know.
- 1:04:44So he does the pre, he kills them and then Necronominus comes
- 1:04:50along with the God Raiser and raises them up to be the undead
- 1:04:54army. So.
- 1:04:55He's he's basically sort of an EI mean.
- 1:04:58They give you the option to display him as the Grim Reaper,
- 1:05:00but he is basically the evil twisted Grim Reaper, isn't he?
- 1:05:04So yeah, yeah. Excellent figure.
- 1:05:07Excellent. Character, you know, he's the
- 1:05:10you know, Necronominus is the toast and he's the cheese.
- 1:05:20And I got a couple of characters here that we should do because
- 1:05:23they're all related to Viking Fell.
- 1:05:26OK. And Ilgar.
- 1:05:28Yeah, the first one. Yeah.
- 1:05:31Yeah. OK, so I will say before I read
- 1:05:35it, one of my favorite of the skeletons, Ilgar, one of the
- 1:05:40most notorious and brutal warriors in the northern Kingdom
- 1:05:43of Viking Fell. Ilgar was not to be stopped,
- 1:05:46even by death itself. Thanks to a deal struck with
- 1:05:49Necronomanus, his son Malius, he was reborn as a shambling,
- 1:05:53skeletal semblance of his former self.
- 1:05:56Now more bloodthirsty than ever before, Ilgar is one of the
- 1:05:59Congregation's most savage fighters.
- 1:06:03Yeah, he's a badass, and I love him with his Viking helmet on.
- 1:06:07The dwarf helmet as actually. Yeah, Yeah, that is cool.
- 1:06:10Yeah, I do like the skull as well.
- 1:06:12You know, I think I think you'd you'd kind of have him if in an
- 1:06:21ideal scenario, you'd have him with the yeah, the dwarf helmet
- 1:06:25with the beard, and then maybe another one or two as good
- 1:06:29minions behind him. And if anybody's looking for a
- 1:06:32head as a minion, then somebody AK the Jones 1234 has a orc
- 1:06:38skull painted to match ILGA. OK, just say on eBay, eBay
- 1:06:43people, is that what I've mentioned that for about a year?
- 1:06:46Yeah. Is that one of the third party
- 1:06:48org schools or it was actually hand done by a zombie 13
- 1:06:53donkeys? He did and they did all sorts of
- 1:06:57different colors and I bought a set of them from my actually
- 1:06:59customs. I've sold the West, but I got
- 1:07:01one left and it's an I'll got match people.
- 1:07:03Come on. Cool.
- 1:07:06So let's continue with the Vikingfeld team here with Scally
- 1:07:10Blow Bone Splitter. Yeah, another excellent one.
- 1:07:14Maybe I'd just like the Vikings. Scally Bone Slitter Splitter.
- 1:07:21In life, Scally Bone Splitter was one of the most callously
- 1:07:24ruthless marauders from the northern settlements of Viking
- 1:07:27Fell, one of those who succumb to the curse that befell these
- 1:07:31warriors. Scally's cruelty has only grown
- 1:07:34in death. This undead dwarf and fighter
- 1:07:36leads a force of skeleton Raiders from the colds of Vike
- 1:07:40Fell towards the centre of Mythos, where he will bring
- 1:07:43Death to all across his path. Yes.
- 1:07:48I still find that it's a little bit generic a bio for how cool
- 1:07:53he is. Possibly, possibly could.
- 1:07:55Put in one or two more lines just to, to, to hook you into
- 1:07:59story, but maybe that'll come down the line or maybe he'd be
- 1:08:02mentioned in someone else's bio line.
- 1:08:05I, I think it leaves out how the curse arrived, if I can fell and
- 1:08:11why they're members of the congregation.
- 1:08:14So it it's like, you know, was there an undead priest or
- 1:08:16something that sort of a Viking fell and that's why they
- 1:08:18connected the congregation as opposed to just being undead.
- 1:08:21Well, the other one is, of course, we've got several
- 1:08:23characters from Viking Fell in other waves that seem to be good
- 1:08:27guys. So why?
- 1:08:29But this hints that there's these Vikings who perhaps
- 1:08:32weren't particularly good guys as well.
- 1:08:36So why then what's happened there that they're.
- 1:08:41You know, how have they? Ended up, like you say, undead.
- 1:08:43And what's? What, you know, they could, they
- 1:08:45could throw in a line there, you know that, you know, previously
- 1:08:48an ally of Helmer Golden Tooth, but you know, they had a great
- 1:08:53falling out, you know? Yeah, that's what I'm saying is
- 1:08:56missing from the bio. The bio is cool as in like this
- 1:08:59is a kick ass character, but if you're deep in the lower, you're
- 1:09:01like what? What connects them to somewhere
- 1:09:04else? Yeah.
- 1:09:05And this undead especially is like a lot of them are.
- 1:09:10I mean, obviously they were alive before, So what, what what
- 1:09:13were they doing when they're alive?
- 1:09:15And then how does that connect them to the main story, you
- 1:09:19know? But super cool and a super cool
- 1:09:23figure. Oh my God, I'm enjoying him so
- 1:09:26much. Yeah, sorry, I don't know yet.
- 1:09:28But that's fine the. Middle the middle of August, I
- 1:09:31will be joining him immensely. That's but you know what I mean.
- 1:09:34Did you we we can we we can get your impressions then but did
- 1:09:38you enjoy your episode with Brett?
- 1:09:40I loved it. I yeah, it was a really good
- 1:09:43episode apart from, you know, several slanderous remarks about
- 1:09:45me super popular on the down and I would like I would like the
- 1:09:49viewers front. I have to say really.
- 1:09:51Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'd like to confirm that I
- 1:09:52have sold that banner set so F huge on.
- 1:09:55It's not still sat there. You didn't sell the last two
- 1:09:59Legions guns I didn't know I sold on eBay.
- 1:10:03James, 1234. Fair enough, soul to soul and
- 1:10:10right continuing the Vikings fell team, uh, skeleton Raider.
- 1:10:14So let's go for him now. Skeleton Raider Once a thriving
- 1:10:20settlement in the north, the realm Viking Fell is now a
- 1:10:23cursed place, haunted by the skeletal remains of the ruthless
- 1:10:26Raiders who once called this place home.
- 1:10:29The survivors who fled this land into the colds of Bjorngar
- 1:10:33relayed the tale of a ship that returned from a Doom raiding
- 1:10:36excursion into southern waters. What travelled upon that vessel
- 1:10:40to be unleashed upon Vikonfeld was death itself.
- 1:10:44Now that Necronominus has returned to Mythos, the Second
- 1:10:47Great War has begun. The Lord of Death calls upon
- 1:10:50these revenants to join his undead army as they March
- 1:10:54towards the final battle with the Legions of Light.
- 1:11:00But he calls upon them. Will I actually join him?
- 1:11:04Well, they're commanded by Scally bones splitter, so you
- 1:11:07know, I guess it's down to how space if you think he is.
- 1:11:12He could have a chat with Thord and then thords like that dude
- 1:11:16don't join the house and they will back because we're rubbish.
- 1:11:18But during one of the other light factions.
- 1:11:21That'd be great you. Say here you say.
- 1:11:23I think all the skeletons are pretty much, they obviously have
- 1:11:28some personality of their own, but there's obviously some
- 1:11:30greater control going on, which I think is what Morgan Lift is
- 1:11:33essentially doing, hence why she can see through their eyes.
- 1:11:36I think she's basically acting like the alien queen to all
- 1:11:41these skeletons and undead creatures.
- 1:11:43Yeah, that's my what I feel is like it's going on.
- 1:11:50And perhaps Necronominus then you can even outrank her in
- 1:11:53doing that, probably. And we have one more Viking Fell
- 1:12:01related figure in. If we got.
- 1:12:05The undead of Viking Fell. That's in the name.
- 1:12:08Oh yes, I'd forgotten about. The retailer wave, so sometimes
- 1:12:11it slips under the radar. It does.
- 1:12:14The undead of Viking Fell. In life, the warriors of Viking
- 1:12:19Fell were feared and revolved for their insatiable thirst for
- 1:12:23conquest. In death they have become
- 1:12:26something even worse. Along with their fellow skeleton
- 1:12:29Raiders, the undead of Viking Fell heed the call of
- 1:12:33Decronominus and follow scally bone slit Splitter towards the
- 1:12:37Castle of Four Sides and the start of the Second Great War.
- 1:12:41Well, there's your answer, Rich. Yep, they heed the call they led
- 1:12:47by Scally. I still love that tattooed head
- 1:12:50that comes on. Yeah.
- 1:12:51It's fabulous. Yeah.
- 1:12:53Yeah. So having got mine now from you,
- 1:12:56John. Thank you for that, then.
- 1:12:57Yeah. It's an awesome piece.
- 1:12:58Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:12:59Do you enjoy that? Yeah.
- 1:13:03Yeah. That's the first.
- 1:13:04Is that the first time you've seen all the retail figures from
- 1:13:07that wave? It is, yeah.
- 1:13:09So opened the Monkey King and the Viking fell.
- 1:13:13You know, it wasn't a baggie, but I've opened those.
- 1:13:16I've seen. I'd seen the Fisher rice before
- 1:13:18because I bought one of eBay because I couldn't make.
- 1:13:22But yeah, some, you know, like I opened the box and there was a
- 1:13:26Jacob Marley there. I was like, I did OK, right?
- 1:13:29There we go. How cool is he in those colours
- 1:13:32though? That bright blue?
- 1:13:33I'm not opening him yet, but he's the one I'm going to
- 1:13:36display as the Jacob Marley sort of thing.
- 1:13:37It's a yeah. I love those colours.
- 1:13:40Yeah, I remember I asked you if I could unbox a few of them
- 1:13:43because otherwise the box would have been quite large.
- 1:13:46Yeah, yeah. But I tried to keep as many of
- 1:13:48them in box as possible for the box that I had that worked.
- 1:13:52Umm, So I think I didn't open the Jacob.
- 1:13:54Yeah, because it was only one. The Jacob and the Monkey Kings
- 1:13:57were sealed out, which was lovely.
- 1:13:59Yeah, umm, I've got to say I've got him the blue, the bright
- 1:14:03blue one sat next to the initial release and it doesn't half dole
- 1:14:08down the. I mean, I know he was much
- 1:14:10duller anyway, but it really does.
- 1:14:12It almost looks like it's in its own little dark light section
- 1:14:18next to it. It's always a funny but I love
- 1:14:20them both. I think they're great.
- 1:14:21It's a funny story actually. So I did an orc.
- 1:14:25I posted it on my Instagram page.
- 1:14:27I did an orc eh, and space hamlet from Borderland hoard to
- 1:14:32match the ATL 25. The the green and the master
- 1:14:36green up and whatever. And then I just at the very end,
- 1:14:40I did a couple of little, eh, like, you know, weathering with
- 1:14:44metallics, you know, a little bit of silver weathering so that
- 1:14:47you could see that, oh, when it's a silver helmet underneath
- 1:14:50the, when the paint wears off and that the green look darker.
- 1:14:59It's not off. It's it's still pretty much
- 1:15:01close. But before that was spot on.
- 1:15:03And as soon as it put silver on it, just your eye tells you it's
- 1:15:07slightly lighter. So I could do the silver on the
- 1:15:10ATL armor, but you know, I'm probably just going to sell the
- 1:15:13head on its own. So yeah, funny.
- 1:15:17They just weird as they want the light, light and the eye and
- 1:15:19what your eyes can do. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:15:21Bananas and I think I want to go to the Tuppercolai next now.
- 1:15:27The Super to pick, you lie and. Pick you lie.
- 1:15:30Sorry. Sorry, the Dark Four were
- 1:15:34defeated by the great beasts and banished from the realm of
- 1:15:37Mythos. Powerful magic was used to
- 1:15:39imprison the Lord of Death, and those same spells sent many of
- 1:15:43them monstrosities that fought in his army away as well known
- 1:15:47as the Tupeculae, these long forgotten terrors of the First
- 1:15:50Age come in a variety of forms, and all are horrible.
- 1:15:55The heroic warriors fighting for Mythos today have never seen an
- 1:15:58enemy like the Tupeculus, and as the barrier between that realm
- 1:16:03and the prison where Necronominus and his acolytes
- 1:16:06have waited begins to weaken, these rotting denizens of death
- 1:16:09stir and and prepare to fight once again.
- 1:16:19I was doing so well, you were doing so well, and it's just a
- 1:16:22normal word. A simple word.
- 1:16:25You know what my biggest comment on this?
- 1:16:29What's that? The last bit of it is these
- 1:16:32rotting denzians. Where's the meat?
- 1:16:36Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it sort of suggests.
- 1:16:41A millimetre of meat on that bone, you know, and especially
- 1:16:44when we got cannabis now that is, you know.
- 1:16:47It's muscles and sinew. I suppose you could argue the
- 1:16:50tuberculi has the that if you took that that little circular
- 1:16:55waste piece off isn't. It under there?
- 1:16:58Yeah, yeah, it's a bit gristly, a bit meaty under there.
- 1:17:04That's what I've been trying to convince her of it for a long
- 1:17:06time. So my mind is with this Mal was
- 1:17:15talking about the tuberculae and he hadn't seen it before.
- 1:17:18And I immediately got two nights sat in the battlefield at the
- 1:17:21back just before the the battle starts, looking at a cross at
- 1:17:24Necronominus is his army. And I'm like, that's a skeleton
- 1:17:28gorilla. That's a skeleton wolf.
- 1:17:30That's cool. And they're like, what is that?
- 1:17:33I've never seen that. And they make a little mark in a
- 1:17:35book going, I've not seen that one before.
- 1:17:37Right after they get close to that.
- 1:17:38But you see, that's because your your brain is telling you, no,
- 1:17:42you're not involved. You don't need to worry about
- 1:17:43that coming to eat you. Whereas if you were a knight in
- 1:17:47that situation, you'd be like, oh, this is how I'm going to go.
- 1:17:50You'd have you'd have the the battle, the battle lines drawn
- 1:17:53up across there. And you'd be like, no, no, no.
- 1:17:57Oh, this little goblin. Yeah.
- 1:17:58I'll take the goblin. That's fine.
- 1:18:00See the little goblin? See his little feet?
- 1:18:03See his little nosy bows. Isn't the goblin sweet?
- 1:18:08I wonder where you're going there for a second.
- 1:18:10Like what? OK.
- 1:18:12Nosy ways. That's from.
- 1:18:14Blackadder. Oh, right.
- 1:18:16OK. Oh, I don't remember that.
- 1:18:18Oh OK. Yeah, season 2, the one where
- 1:18:21the royal hammered drunk. Obviously I do think it's just
- 1:18:27going back to to Tupeculi. I do think it's funny and I was
- 1:18:31doing it earlier as well, how he it always gets called Tupeculi
- 1:18:37and it is Tupeculi. Well, I think we can say I can
- 1:18:42go for it to to pericule exactly.
- 1:18:44And we can do whatever the hell we like, Mal.
- 1:18:46We invented the, the, the language.
- 1:18:49Americans could do what they want.
- 1:18:50You know, we can do what we like.
- 1:18:53Enough with your month, date, year, you know.
- 1:18:57No drinking as we do this. I mean, technically that's as
- 1:19:03opposed to neither here nor there.
- 1:19:06Yeah, yeah, Lieutenant, whatever, Lieutenant.
- 1:19:11Sounds like, you know, someone that looks after the toilets in
- 1:19:14a nightclub, you know, Right. And This is why it's about a day
- 1:19:20me drinking wine before we do one of these always, right?
- 1:19:25Let's go to Gold Skeleton so that I can get rid of this page
- 1:19:28of notes. Do 1 and then two.
- 1:19:33One doesn't have a bio, so go straight to.
- 1:19:36I know he doesn't, yeah. The original Legion because.
- 1:19:39He's an army builder folks, that's why he doesn't have one
- 1:19:43gold skeleton. 2 casualties of the First Great War.
- 1:19:47These defeated angelic warriors of Cyrus were cut down by
- 1:19:51Maxilius the Harvester and then resurrected by the magic of
- 1:19:54Necronominus. These undead angels became some
- 1:19:57of Necronominus's most powerful followers, and they were
- 1:20:00banished with him when the Dark Four were defeated by the great
- 1:20:03beasts. Immediately distinguishable by
- 1:20:06their golden bones, these fallen angels still possess their
- 1:20:09feathered wings as a cruel mockery of the celestial beings
- 1:20:13they once were. So that's cool that they've
- 1:20:19linked being gold skeleton to logical reason and they're
- 1:20:25skeleton angels as opposed to ghost angels, which maybe Hagnon
- 1:20:29has the potential to be like we talked.
- 1:20:34No, no, no, no, you have to be off mute to Oh, no, sorry, Rich,
- 1:20:38you're just not I'm not mute. I'm just I'm just, you know,
- 1:20:41people have heard enough of me. Again, no hang ONS.
- 1:20:43I'm just giving you. I'm just giving the signs given
- 1:20:44in the. It's the hand signals the.
- 1:20:46Wagging finger, not the finger. The disappointed look on my
- 1:20:50face, that sort of stuff. We've eaten it.
- 1:20:52That gold skeleton 2 is one of my most anticipated.
- 1:20:56So cool. I am literally also a little bit
- 1:21:01of a, you know, magpie when it comes to gold.
- 1:21:04Gold not not like gold jewelry or whatever, but gold stuff like
- 1:21:07to do with figures and stuff. So I was always regretting
- 1:21:12missing the gold skeleton original, but never willing to
- 1:21:16pay like crazy prices for and kinda knew that if it didn't pop
- 1:21:20up in the reinforcements waves, it was never going to come.
- 1:21:24And I don't think it was popular enough to ever probably pop up
- 1:21:27in one of those. So they did a absolutely
- 1:21:32rock'n'roll version of it. No, to make up for that, I.
- 1:21:38Can get another one at some point.
- 1:21:40I've only got one on order, but I can get another at least one
- 1:21:45another. Three, because I've got 3 heads
- 1:21:47put to one side that to be painted to go with it.
- 1:21:50So I have a little gaggle of undead angels, yeah.
- 1:21:54It's such a as I just bonkers. Just yeah, it is.
- 1:21:57You show someone start figure they'd be like what?
- 1:22:00Oh yeah, yeah, it's brilliant. But it's heavily done.
- 1:22:03It's just like, you know, it's a weird gold skeleton.
- 1:22:06Then then you've got the, you know, the figures in that wave.
- 1:22:09Is that the Yosef of the. Yeah.
- 1:22:12And you know, he's an Angel. Yeah.
- 1:22:14And then you got the gold skeleton that's almost his kind
- 1:22:16of opposite. Yes, yes.
- 1:22:18You know, he's Ying, Ying Tiang or whatever.
- 1:22:22Can we say Yosef for the figure too?
- 1:22:25Everyone keeps saying Yosef, which is how I think the
- 1:22:27performance pronounce it. It's Yosef.
- 1:22:29OK, it's yourself. I'll get out of my OK.
- 1:22:32I'm relaxed now. There we go.
- 1:22:33Yes, boss. We're repentant tonight, We're
- 1:22:36repentant tonight. We're heading in the hell out of
- 1:22:39it tonight. Yeah, right, Tibius baseball
- 1:22:43head. Yeah, all right.
- 1:22:44Give me a second find. There he is.
- 1:22:49Someone's got a new picture of that, of somebody just pitching
- 1:22:51Tibius's head. The cross flying across the
- 1:22:55right, Tibius, one of the most ancient living skeletons roaming
- 1:23:00the earth. Tibius commands many of the
- 1:23:02dead, deadlier battalions of Necronominus's army.
- 1:23:05Single minded to a fault, he's consumed with recruiting
- 1:23:08soldiers and bolstering his ranks.
- 1:23:11A master fighter in his own right, Tibius is renowned for
- 1:23:14his the savage skill he displays whilst wielding his twin swords
- 1:23:18in the battlefield. Generic, Very generic.
- 1:23:24He's a bit. He's a bit.
- 1:23:25Yeah, he's a bit. I mean, but for the strike, he's
- 1:23:29a very generic skeleton too, isn't he?
- 1:23:31Let's be honest. Yeah, and I understand where
- 1:23:34where he comes from the line. I think he was a late reveal on
- 1:23:37the Kickstarter. You know, kind of they busted
- 1:23:39another stretch goal and they had to make another figure.
- 1:23:42And I think even he didn't have the baseball head initially.
- 1:23:47And that was kind of only and in addition to kind of make him
- 1:23:50stand out from the Legion builder almost.
- 1:23:54So, yeah, I mean, he's he's a cool figure though.
- 1:23:59If you if you have him, you know, he's a nice one for the
- 1:24:01chef. You just need one probably.
- 1:24:03It's enough. He has that quite unique skirt
- 1:24:05piece. That's a little bit, you know,
- 1:24:07kind of, how would you say, particular type of lady on New
- 1:24:14Year's Eve out in a nightclub in the north of England.
- 1:24:17Length. He's flat on his crotch.
- 1:24:23Is this what you want to say, John?
- 1:24:24Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:24:26I mean, yeah. I didn't want to be so explicit,
- 1:24:28but yes. We love you, the ladies.
- 1:24:31Newcastle just to clear on I didn't send them on Newcastle
- 1:24:34said north of England. But you, that's what I meant.
- 1:24:44Frantically checks the statistics to see if we have any
- 1:24:47listeners in Newcastle and if if we do it, most likely to be male
- 1:24:54and so exactly what we like to get.
- 1:24:56Don't know what you mean. Right, we have a couple more to
- 1:25:01get through, two more that are, uh, actual lore, and then we
- 1:25:08have Okiatos as well, which I think we should still talk.
- 1:25:10About yeah, yeah, I like okiatos.
- 1:25:12So let's do Skeleton Legion Builder 2 and then the Undead
- 1:25:16builders. OK, yeah, right.
- 1:25:21Skeleton Legion Builder Two. There is no legion in mythos
- 1:25:25more terrifying than the skeletons of Necronominus
- 1:25:28warriors summoned from the grave to blindly fight under the
- 1:25:31banner of the Lord of Death, often times against their former
- 1:25:34friends and factions. They are a perversion of all
- 1:25:38that is good in the realm. These undead soldiers cannot be
- 1:25:41killed, for they are already dead.
- 1:25:44Only the complete destruction of the skeletal body will stop
- 1:25:47their advance and try to reason with these terrors.
- 1:25:50Trying to reason with these terrors is futile, and death is
- 1:25:54all they know. Death is what they are.
- 1:25:58Pretty cool IO for a legion builder.
- 1:26:01Yeah, and this is where it brings us back to a bit of our
- 1:26:05chat last week as to why the Templars have hammers now as
- 1:26:12opposed to because they need to smash them.
- 1:26:14Up and yeah, yeah. Yeah, so.
- 1:26:18Bludgeoning weapons rather than piercing weapons.
- 1:26:21Yeah, well. We've established that obviously
- 1:26:25spear holds and yeah, it doesn't kill them, it just kind of
- 1:26:29sticks them to go. But then you're.
- 1:26:29Lost at the floor so you can smash their head with the yeah.
- 1:26:33That's that's there you go, Matt, you got kick him, kick him
- 1:26:36in the head with your boot. It's like, yeah, there we go.
- 1:26:38Dealt with that. That's that was the next bit.
- 1:26:40Trevor was just doing like, you know, that's the first bit and
- 1:26:43then he carried on. We just.
- 1:26:44Said. Nothing.
- 1:26:45Let's not dig at Trevor because I don't think he ever deserves a
- 1:26:50dig. So he doesn't.
- 1:26:51And we absolutely love Trevor and his works amazing, but I am
- 1:26:54expecting for him to walk up and punch me.
- 1:26:56Allegiance gone because I've dropped little digs in left
- 1:26:58right and say jokingly but there's been a lot of but if he
- 1:27:02ever turns around and and says we can't use these pictures for
- 1:27:06the thumbnail here and there and you are you are doing the
- 1:27:10thumbnails. Yeah no, you are doing the
- 1:27:12thumbnails. In future it's going to be your
- 1:27:14word drawings for future thumbnails.
- 1:27:17All Trevor's work is amazing. Everybody loved Trevor.
- 1:27:20Undead builder's mouth. Yes, yes, Undead Builder.
- 1:27:26Undead Builder Pack The undead ranks of Congregation and
- 1:27:30Necronomus are made of more than just skeletons.
- 1:27:33The zombified remains of the fleshy dead, the flesh still
- 1:27:36clinging to their bones, claw their way from the grave to
- 1:27:39March behind the Lord of Death. The restless spirits of the long
- 1:27:43deceased also fly forward, their ghostly bodies given the power
- 1:27:47to animate suits of cast off armour and wield weapons in
- 1:27:50their spectral hands. There is no peace in death for
- 1:27:53these souls, no recipe on the grave, for they have returned to
- 1:27:57mythos as part of the undead army of Necronominus.
- 1:28:03That's cool. Yeah, great vigour as well,
- 1:28:06Great buildings. Vigour.
- 1:28:08I ordered another one on Aliexpress earlier today.
- 1:28:11That's my second one on the way. Oh what did they do in them?
- 1:28:14For an Aliexpress, it was $80.00.
- 1:28:18And then they have an offer on today, finishes today where it's
- 1:28:21$10 off. We spend more than $79.
- 1:28:24OK, Yeah, So 70, which is a pretty decent price.
- 1:28:28Yeah. And great to have zombies and
- 1:28:33kind of ghostly, like figures. That's still a bit of murmur on
- 1:28:35them, yeah. And.
- 1:28:39For 2.0 figures they're superb. I would say well.
- 1:28:45And, and, and combined with some of those heads from the head
- 1:28:50pack, that's even more options. Yeah.
- 1:28:54And lack of heads. Because I'm, that's what I'm
- 1:28:56going to do with it. They are, they are 2.0.
- 1:28:59They're one point. No, they're 1.0.
- 1:29:01Sorry, they're won't, but that's why they're good.
- 1:29:03Yeah. You have me worried for a second
- 1:29:05glass. I stand off a torso and a head
- 1:29:07to be painted to match them earlier today or yesterday.
- 1:29:10And it's like, oh God, I'd mess this up if they're 2.0.
- 1:29:13But that's why they're they're sort of skinny thinner.
- 1:29:16Yeah, yeah, no, you're right. Like like get the air 1.0.
- 1:29:18Yeah, oopsie. And and the 2.02 closes out.
- 1:29:26Okie, dokie. Yes, Okie.
- 1:29:28At us So yeah, OK 8 US Devious and deadly, the enigmatic Araka
- 1:29:35Geist Killer clown. Killer clown Killing down is OK
- 1:29:398 US. He's a frightful tangle of Bony
- 1:29:41limbs and shadowy menace, a terrifying mixture of flesh and
- 1:29:45bone. The Iraqi Ghast are a race of
- 1:29:50not often encountered in the realm of mythos, keeping mostly
- 1:29:54to unlit corners and hidden recesses, the assassin Okietos
- 1:29:57takes great joy in hunting down and eliminating his prey.
- 1:30:01A devout worshipper of his factions, Dark God Okietos hopes
- 1:30:05that his dark deeds will be rewarded upon Necronominus's
- 1:30:08return. See, with the hiding in dark
- 1:30:12recesses in Mythos, I want him to be that big.
- 1:30:18Yeah. So he's got like, reason Blaze.
- 1:30:19He's absolutely dead anyway, but it's like literally tiny little
- 1:30:23recess is like, you want to be a companion character.
- 1:30:26Yeah. Basically a little.
- 1:30:27You know, you'd have three of them stood on the shoulders of
- 1:30:29somebody else. Like, like Spider Man's kind of
- 1:30:33playing Spider drawing things. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:30:40I mean, I think this is a nice nod here to the fact that he he
- 1:30:44hopes that he'd be rewarded on Necronominus his return.
- 1:30:48So he hopes that he would become part of the official Canon,
- 1:30:51maybe. Oh yeah, yeah.
- 1:30:55Because this is the tribute, it's the only one within the
- 1:30:58within the congregation of Necronominus.
- 1:31:00So they're technically not really main part of the story.
- 1:31:04They're kind of more side characters and but I think the
- 1:31:09type of character that's introduced, we could definitely
- 1:31:13take his cannon, so there could be other ones.
- 1:31:15Yeah, definitely so. This is a rack aghast, which is
- 1:31:17a kind of a spider. I mean, you understand Iraq is
- 1:31:21like from arachnid or whatever. So yeah.
- 1:31:25And they don't all need to be that blue colour either.
- 1:31:27You know, they can explain that away as well if that's too
- 1:31:29great, people. I mean, I, I really like him.
- 1:31:33I know he seems to be a bit sort of not a lot of people not keen
- 1:31:37on him and I can understand. Why bright blue?
- 1:31:40His mom likes. It's fair to say much.
- 1:31:42But I, I don't know, I, I like what they've done as the tribute
- 1:31:47and again, the character and how they've introduced him into
- 1:31:50mythos and, and I think I am, I quite like umm, Webster in, uh,
- 1:31:57in the universe anyway. So I think that possibly
- 1:32:01translates across the my little bit of how I like that
- 1:32:05character, you know? So that's the faction of
- 1:32:07Necronomus. We get on to their opposites in
- 1:32:13the order of ether on next to next time, hopefully barring you
- 1:32:17know too much to talk about in the news front and then we'll
- 1:32:20put it forward to a future episode.
- 1:32:22But yeah, you can definitely find that down the road.
- 1:32:27Favorite character out of these anyone?
- 1:32:30Just to hadn't prepared this but.
- 1:32:33Oh. It's a tough one because some of
- 1:32:35the new stuff is so, so good. I think I actually think it's
- 1:32:41the close second Scally bone slitter splitter.
- 1:32:45But I keep looking and sitting and just looking at the what's
- 1:32:50he called the other one, the skeleton with the yeah, the
- 1:32:56skeleton Raider. I just keep finding myself
- 1:32:58picking him up and playing. It's a.
- 1:33:00Perfect. Harryhausen skeleton.
- 1:33:03Yeah, that's what drew me to that originally.
- 1:33:04Just like, yeah, that's exactly what you had at Jason, the
- 1:33:07Argonauts and that sort of stuff.
- 1:33:08It's that sort of look. To pick your lie as well as
- 1:33:12probably got to be in there as one of my favourites.
- 1:33:15It's just such a bonkers. It isn't it.
- 1:33:21Again, it's another one you pick up, play with, tear it apart, do
- 1:33:26things with it. I mean, I've built the monkey.
- 1:33:30I know it's not fully to pick your light uses, I've come blank
- 1:33:35on the names having just read them all.
- 1:33:39Maxillus. I've used Brett's recipe to make
- 1:33:45an ape and I mean, it looks so cool.
- 1:33:48It's so fun. Yeah, I think in terms of
- 1:33:52character, blue lit, yeah, it was just the whole story with
- 1:33:55hers is so cool. She's.
- 1:33:58Saying that, that bio so badass. She's so.
- 1:34:01And then what you get with her with the with the the dog.
- 1:34:08Sorry, Rich the chimera. Yeah, because the extras, I
- 1:34:14think blue lathe for me. Yeah, doesn't it?
- 1:34:16Or I do love Moreglithe. Yeah, obviously.
- 1:34:18You know my hatred of two point zeros.
- 1:34:20Yeah, Moreglithe, I love so and then to percolate, I think, you
- 1:34:25know, can't go wrong and and Necronomanous himself is.
- 1:34:28Yeah, he's very good buddy. Yeah.
- 1:34:31And we also shouldn't forget all the the nights in the
- 1:34:36necronomanous wave came with skeletal faces.
- 1:34:39Is he concerned? So I'll Adelrich into a skeleton
- 1:34:42and well, you know, yeah, Sir Lager and all that because
- 1:34:45there's plenty of options. You go around to Brett to Brett
- 1:34:48starter it's place and he's got just a whole shelf of skeleton
- 1:34:52nights. So, yeah, well done, Brad.
- 1:34:55Hello everyone. This is Anton of the Forge and
- 1:34:58you're listening to the Euro Legions podcast in the Year of
- 1:35:02the Dwarf, right? And to round us off tonight,
- 1:35:05Rich, you've got some boxing boxing to do.
- 1:35:08So let me share my screen with you guys.
- 1:35:11Delivery from Luxembourg. I don't know who that could have
- 1:35:13been from. No, but it's been one of those,
- 1:35:16it's been one of those weeks. It's my birthday, if we haven't
- 1:35:18mentioned already this week. And it's been awesome because I
- 1:35:21got to pick up on Monday a box from John, who'd been storing
- 1:35:25some stuff for me, God bless him.
- 1:35:27So we had the retailer exclusives, the last lot, and
- 1:35:31then some painted stuff from Mark Calvert, which I'll show in
- 1:35:34a minute, and then some other stuff.
- 1:35:36So yeah, it's, it's been a good week.
- 1:35:37And then Brett sent me a box, which arrived today as well.
- 1:35:39So, so the Louvre from Luxembourg.
- 1:35:43So Mark Calvert painted heads. So we have this awesome, awesome
- 1:35:49blue dragon head from Jason Rodriguez top left there.
- 1:35:54Then we have one of Mark's own sculpts.
- 1:35:56I'm going to use it on a rack, not an Oracle.
- 1:36:01Oh, I forgot Ragnar, thank you on a crag in our body for a for
- 1:36:06a ogre scale snake man. My snake man legions are
- 1:36:09growing. Then we have the awesome green
- 1:36:13dragon, the bottom left there. I love that green I I need lots
- 1:36:17of Dragons, so that's a great one.
- 1:36:19And then and I'm breaking my no humans and Cosmerian rule thanks
- 1:36:23to ATL 25. But here's my first human who's
- 1:36:26going to be a colonial marine. And again, this is a mark
- 1:36:29sculpt. I've got all three of his
- 1:36:32colonial marine types. They're awesome, aren't they?
- 1:36:34Yeah, so good. And yeah, an exceptional
- 1:36:37painter, isn't he? So.
- 1:36:38Yeah, and it's fabulous. He he calls it I think something
- 1:36:42pone or something like that. So you know, it's basically a
- 1:36:45from from aliens sort of thing. Tenant pone or something.
- 1:36:49Yeah, yeah, something like that. Yeah.
- 1:36:52So it's amazing stuff. I also got the 2 headed ninja
- 1:36:56infantry and the longer necked ninja infantry from Mark as
- 1:37:00well. I've not got pictures of those
- 1:37:02though. And then the other heads I got
- 1:37:04from him is the rhino. So the top rhino on the top
- 1:37:07there, the left hand side is red.
- 1:37:09Obviously the right hand side is black, but it's the same head.
- 1:37:12So he's going to be a rhino in my red hellions.
- 1:37:17And it's got the split, split colouring on the hood there.
- 1:37:20I think it's a mow away sculpt, fabulous sculpt is like the
- 1:37:24execution of sort of sculpt with the eyes covered and this sort
- 1:37:28of stuff. And then I have a Pitbull down
- 1:37:32on the bottom left. I discussed, discussed recently
- 1:37:35my canine legion. I mean, what's called canine
- 1:37:38legion, something like that. So there's one of those.
- 1:37:41And then I have a pig on the right hand side.
- 1:37:43John, you've got your cosmic pigs and I'm going to have a
- 1:37:45mythic pig faction starting off from the new year.
- 1:37:47So we can fight them. That we can, Absolutely.
- 1:37:51We can. Yeah.
- 1:37:51Yeah. So the sculpt though, because
- 1:37:55you could use it as a a not gamerian guard and make it a
- 1:37:58cosmic as well. Yeah, absolutely.
- 1:38:01Yeah. And I've seen a lot of people
- 1:38:03paint it, paint it green for that very reason.
- 1:38:05Yeah. And then Mark did it, this
- 1:38:07colour. And I remember at the time
- 1:38:09thinking, wow. And then he put it for sale like
- 1:38:11a year later probably, if not more.
- 1:38:13And I was like, yeah, I want that.
- 1:38:14That's amazing. So just reminder for people,
- 1:38:18episode 82 if you want to find out more of the red hellions,
- 1:38:22there you go there we go. That's when I actually put put
- 1:38:26up a faction and talked through the BIOS.
- 1:38:29More to come soon people. More to come soon.
- 1:38:31My plan is that my Lithia customs will be Next up.
- 1:38:34Oh. Starting next wavered faction,
- 1:38:37Yeah, right then. And then the other thing, John,
- 1:38:43in your, well, in your box was some wonderful customs.
- 1:38:48Yeah, some wonderful customs from Ralph.
- 1:38:51Ralph Mouse obviously is a great friend of the show, tragically
- 1:38:54passed away, but I was able to pick up some of his customs.
- 1:38:58And I'm so grateful to Claudia for his wife for putting these
- 1:39:02up for sale. So I picked up some dwarfs.
- 1:39:06So the one on the left, it's got the, I was planning on changing
- 1:39:11the head, but now I have it in hand.
- 1:39:13I love the head. It's one of these ones where
- 1:39:15things are mythic bits beard where it just attaches straight
- 1:39:18up to the the helmet. So you've just got eyes and a
- 1:39:22beard and there's no sign of a mouth.
- 1:39:24But I love what you've done with the colours of the armour and
- 1:39:26everything. I don't know if you can see
- 1:39:27that. It's like a brownie gold with
- 1:39:30that big blonde beard and the two axes.
- 1:39:32And I think I'm going to keep them him as he is because it's
- 1:39:35such a great figure. And obviously Ralph's passion
- 1:39:38was dwarfs, so it's lovely to have some dwarfs from me.
- 1:39:41The one on the right there is using, I think some Gorgo parts
- 1:39:49and then maybe some parts painted to fit in that in terms
- 1:39:52of dwarf size. I'll probably change the head on
- 1:39:55this one. The head is amazing, but I have
- 1:39:57another head that I need to get painted that an unhelmeted head
- 1:40:00which I think will work really well with this.
- 1:40:05And then the final dwarf I have on the left here is like a king
- 1:40:10dwarf. And again, I was planning on
- 1:40:12changing the head, but actually now I have it in hand.
- 1:40:15It's an amazing king Dwarf head. It's got the crown, it's got the
- 1:40:19really fancy beard, the paint job on the armour to give it
- 1:40:22that sort of greeny gold look is just gorgeous.
- 1:40:26So then I'm going to leave that as it is.
- 1:40:29That's cool. That is cool.
- 1:40:31Yeah, super cool. Yeah.
- 1:40:33And then on the right we have some next, some cosmic snakes,
- 1:40:37which I'm going to probably, almost certainly convert into
- 1:40:39mythic snake men. Then I'll use the cosmic parts
- 1:40:43or something else sort of thing. But yeah, so first that we have
- 1:40:46the this orangey red sort of guy with the Mark Calvo head sculpt
- 1:40:52and repainted Oleg Thiga torso and arms.
- 1:40:56I do love it, but I've got another I'm touching that I can
- 1:40:59keep the head or not. I might use the head for
- 1:41:01something different and I've got another head which if the colour
- 1:41:04works with it and use that instead for this one.
- 1:41:07Then we have two more. So we have a green snake man
- 1:41:12love the colour of this guy he's he's so good and the cosmic
- 1:41:17parts are amazing and and rafted an amazing job painting them.
- 1:41:19But I might transfer them onto another character.
- 1:41:21You're more a mythic. I am, yeah.
- 1:41:25And then on the right we have another snake man.
- 1:41:29This is used in the coiled planetary dog toys base, so it's
- 1:41:34like a proper snake tail. And again, the blacks and Reds.
- 1:41:38That's such a cool colour scheme.
- 1:41:40So that's an awesome one as well.
- 1:41:44And then Mal, there's more cosmic to come.
- 1:41:45So here we go dude. So we have some cosmic
- 1:41:53adventurers, pirates, whatever you want to call them.
- 1:41:57So on the left hand side, it's a Mark Calvo head.
- 1:42:01It's I'm not sure if Mark painted this or whether Ralph
- 1:42:04painted it, but it's painted and not, you can see exactly in the
- 1:42:07picture be like a stone sort of effect with glowing red eyes and
- 1:42:11spikes coming out of the head. And it's got an awesome soft
- 1:42:14goods Cape, which I'm not sure whether that's from which figure
- 1:42:18that's from, but that works brilliantly on it.
- 1:42:20Off goods because I thought that yeah, I felt that was the
- 1:42:24gunslinger spawn Covet. No, it's, it's definitely, I
- 1:42:29mean, I don't think it's not, but it's definitely
- 1:42:30manoeuvrable. You can, you can move it around
- 1:42:33sort of thing. And then what appears to be a
- 1:42:36painted up nobody lean body with a couple of guns.
- 1:42:40But it's it's such a cool again, I was planning on doing
- 1:42:43different stuff with it because I've got one of these heads
- 1:42:45painted by Mark the Mythic. So the head might change, but
- 1:42:48the rest of the build will absolutely stay the same for a
- 1:42:51space pirate 1. And then on the left you have a
- 1:42:56pink green haired cosmic dwarf lady.
- 1:43:01And that head is going, I'm afraid I'm going to replace that
- 1:43:03with a pink goblin head. Which John did you paint the
- 1:43:07pink goblin head for? Yeah, So that's going to go on
- 1:43:10there. So that's that's going to go
- 1:43:12with that body. Seems with the body.
- 1:43:14I've got a head. I've got a head.
- 1:43:16If you don't want that head, I might take that off your hands
- 1:43:19if. That's you're welcome to dude.
- 1:43:20More than welcome. It's a freebie from me, people
- 1:43:22have heard me say. That there you go.
- 1:43:24Thank you because I I. Yeah, so it's going to be, it's
- 1:43:26going to be a pink cosmic goblin that rides a mech into battle.
- 1:43:33So that will be excellent. Then we have AI.
- 1:43:37Remember Android? Yeah.
- 1:43:38You like this one from the first?
- 1:43:40Yeah, I absolutely love this. It's it's so good and I'm so
- 1:43:44happy that Claudia decided to sell this one.
- 1:43:47It's it's a robot wearing like a Western hat, but with two
- 1:43:51awesome guns as well. Like I don't know who makes the
- 1:43:53guns, but proper big wide, like laser pistol sort of thing.
- 1:43:57So they're a plantry dog. They're plantry dogs.
- 1:44:00Always OK, but such a great colour scheme.
- 1:44:03It's it's just awesome. I mean, in theory, the hat looks
- 1:44:06weird, but it's just, it just works really well, really,
- 1:44:12really well with this piece. And then last but not least, and
- 1:44:15this one, I I'm not afraid to say I teared up a little bit
- 1:44:18opening this one earlier to the point my wife was on.
- 1:44:21What are you doing? I was like this this Ralph did
- 1:44:23this as a homage to me and it's Captain, I think it was Captain
- 1:44:30Jones 1234 or something like that.
- 1:44:33And Claudia very, very kindly gifted this one to me.
- 1:44:36So I didn't buy it. She just, she just popped it in
- 1:44:39the thing and it's. That looks so cool.
- 1:44:42Yeah, it's it's cosmic armour. I can't remember from who but
- 1:44:45just painted up green and some. Mark Calvo sells that to.
- 1:44:51I think he decided that chess piece that plugs in.
- 1:44:54Brilliant. Thank you, Mel with the prop
- 1:44:57master head, the prop masters did of me.
- 1:44:59So it's got the the mutton chops and the Welsh flag eye patch and
- 1:45:03that sort of stuff. And I love this figure.
- 1:45:05When when Ralph first did it, I was messaging him going dude,
- 1:45:08that's just incredible and Claudia, bless her, as I said,
- 1:45:11included it no cost for me. So this will have pride a place
- 1:45:15in my cosmic display. It's an amazing piece that will
- 1:45:19never be on the Jones 1234 never ever that will go meets my
- 1:45:23grave. That one I.
- 1:45:24Love the colours as well. That's.
- 1:45:26Great, aren't they? The root are good.
- 1:45:28Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
- 1:45:31It could be like ATL's bigger brother sort of thing.
- 1:45:33It's that sort of vibe to it. Very cool.
- 1:45:37Do you know what's mad with the timing of this?
- 1:45:40It's pretty much this week last year.
- 1:45:43Oh wow. Yeah.
- 1:45:45Oh, really? Yeah.
- 1:45:46Oh, wow. First week of June.
- 1:45:48Yeah, Yeah. And then I also had a box and
- 1:45:56Brett in. So this was my in stock sales
- 1:45:58stuff that Brett kindly held onto.
- 1:46:00And then my second in stock purchase and then a big bad toy
- 1:46:03store purchase and and various bits and bobs.
- 1:46:06So we're going to do a live reveal about.
- 1:46:08So I did the armoury Knight experience, the loose, the loose
- 1:46:121. So I don't have no idea what
- 1:46:14colours I got. So I'm hoping for a red.
- 1:46:17I don't mind evil or good. I don't mind purple.
- 1:46:20Again, don't mind evil or good. I'm one of the gun metal, the
- 1:46:23gun metal knight soft goods. But actually the no, the green.
- 1:46:27If I get a green, it's fine. But those are the three I'm
- 1:46:29going for. So let's see, right?
- 1:46:32I want to see how these come. Do they come loose or in a bag?
- 1:46:35Come loose. A brat's chucked them in a
- 1:46:37massive bag. Right.
- 1:46:39So let's see what we have. So I've got this with my
- 1:46:46eyesight. Fails me completely.
- 1:46:48Old man problems. Yeah.
- 1:46:51Well, Jesus, it really does. That's OK.
- 1:46:55That's a red one with a ready camera.
- 1:46:57There, you've got a red evil everybody.
- 1:47:00Oh yeah. Very cool.
- 1:47:01Very cool. Yeah.
- 1:47:02Ready. That's OK.
- 1:47:03That will work with my wolf of my canine faction.
- 1:47:09Then we. Jeez, I really am too old for
- 1:47:12this. Open the.
- 1:47:13Open the plastic. Yeah, I'm going to have to open
- 1:47:14the plastic. Bear with me, everybody.
- 1:47:16This is terrible podcasting. But my eyes are old.
- 1:47:20It's fine. It's what the kids like.
- 1:47:22It's a good metal one, I think. Or it might be purple.
- 1:47:25Bear with me. You get a torch on it.
- 1:47:30It's gunmetal. Happy days, happy, happy days.
- 1:47:35There we go. So that's two of the three I
- 1:47:37wanted right route through this. And then the other set we have
- 1:47:48it's oh, is this another gunmetal 1?
- 1:47:54It is. Oh nice.
- 1:47:57So a second gun metal. So the question is, is it gun
- 1:47:59metal with a leather torso or not?
- 1:48:04Nope, that's armoured torso. That's two moments.
- 1:48:10I've got 2 gun metal and one red knight.
- 1:48:14So two of the same fig or yeah, two of the same figure.
- 1:48:17Unless my eyes are deceiving. But Are you sure it's like the?
- 1:48:20Legs and that aren't different. That might be purple.
- 1:48:24Bear with me everybody, my wife's sported in the room.
- 1:48:27What colour's that Carrie? Purple or black?
- 1:48:33Yeah, 2 gun Metal Knights my eyes haven't seen.
- 1:48:35So there we go. 2 have the same gun metal Knights which is
- 1:48:38awesome and an evil red one. Very cool.
- 1:48:41Happy days. So yeah, go live in boxing.
- 1:48:44I didn't know that. Brett didn't tell me.
- 1:48:46And and this is a reward for anyone that's listening to the
- 1:48:49end of this episode, but I am thoroughly, thoroughly ashamed
- 1:48:53to reveal what else? Wait.
- 1:48:57For it wait. It's not a bargain or anything,
- 1:49:00so nobody gets too excited. Are you ready for this?
- 1:49:02Yeah. I'm going to show.
- 1:49:04We'll be ready. I.
- 1:49:05Believe I'm going to show this. Oh yes.
- 1:49:10It's a legendary, but yeah, the best figure I, I couldn't
- 1:49:16resist. It was like, I only get one, but
- 1:49:18it's such a good figure and everyone's done such a good job
- 1:49:20with it that I, I just had to get one.
- 1:49:22So Brett picked up an extra, so he very kindly send that over to
- 1:49:27me. So thank you, Brett.
- 1:49:28You'll have to get some soft goods clothes for him.
- 1:49:30I will. Oh, Terrassus has some good soft
- 1:49:33goods. As we're talking about my
- 1:49:35birthday, which obviously we do all the time, then it's a
- 1:49:38birthday present to me. It's an Axi toys.
- 1:49:41That's a terrible reflection. Axi toys, Dinosaur warrior.
- 1:49:45Very cool, my son. Which one?
- 1:49:46Also, which one? This is one of the, is it
- 1:49:50Carnosaurus? It's one of the smaller.
- 1:49:53It's not the big T Rex. I need to get a big T Rex.
- 1:49:55And I left that too late because it costs a bloody fortune now.
- 1:49:58But as soon as they show the Triceratops, it's like, yeah,
- 1:50:00I'm all in now. I need to get those.
- 1:50:01So that's my first meat eater. I'll get the T Rex and pay $300
- 1:50:07or whatever a stupid figure it is.
- 1:50:09And then the Triceratops coming out as well.
- 1:50:11So, yeah. So that's my birthday present
- 1:50:13from my lovely wife Rich, a very happy birthday yes thank you
- 1:50:17very much hope you enjoy the rest of the week and obviously
- 1:50:20your birthday tomorrow. We, I'm sure you get a lot of
- 1:50:22love on Facebook and wherever I will.
- 1:50:25And I'm, we're going out to a BBQ restaurant for the evening
- 1:50:27as well. So I'm my, my evening will after
- 1:50:31that will be me sitting there going, oh, I can't move.
- 1:50:34Oh, I'm so full of BBQ. So I'm very much, if you won't
- 1:50:37even be able to get drunk because you'd just be so much
- 1:50:39soakage that you, oh, you'd be soakage.
- 1:50:41You just take, take away any alcohol.
- 1:50:42Yeah, there's no chance of that. That's all.
- 1:50:44I'm going to be stuffed to the gills.
- 1:50:46But it's leaving doing work on the Friday.
- 1:50:48So that gives me the chance to, to.
- 1:50:50Yeah. So you can make sure yourself
- 1:50:51then. Yeah.
- 1:50:52Very good. And are we going to have some
- 1:50:55Patreon episodes coming soon? We are.
- 1:50:57So we have the 1st 2 guests for Rich's randoms lined up.
- 1:51:02Awesome. I've asked the third person as
- 1:51:04well who's checking with his good lady wife to see what's his
- 1:51:06availability is over the weekend.
- 1:51:08Under the thumb. Not under the thumb.
- 1:51:10He's just doing the sensible. Don't shame and shame.
- 1:51:12Don't name and shame. But we have two guests
- 1:51:14guaranteed and lined up. So me and Donald in the
- 1:51:17recordings for that. I was being laughed at by my my
- 1:51:20wife the other day for I was trying to find a way that span
- 1:51:24and revealed what the questions were because you pick questions
- 1:51:27around them is the plan. I couldn't figure that out.
- 1:51:29So I've now done it in Excel, which I think works all right.
- 1:51:33It's a bit clunky, but it works OK.
- 1:51:35But she was just like you're so old fashioned.
- 1:51:37There's like you could have, you could have asked me.
- 1:51:40Well, I didn't want to. I didn't want to, you know,
- 1:51:42you'd have the extra effort. John.
- 1:51:43I thought I'll take responsibility for this, you
- 1:51:45know, rather you'll do shit than you're doing.
- 1:51:47Yeah, exactly. You're doing the recording.
- 1:51:48I'll do the rubbish graphics. It's like that works fine.
- 1:51:51To be fair. Yeah, to be fair.
- 1:51:53Yeah. I shouldn't be control freaking
- 1:51:55your thing. So that makes sense.
- 1:51:57Yes. So the first hopefully three
- 1:52:00interviews will be recorded this weekend and then we'll start
- 1:52:02dropping them next week. John, if there's not too much
- 1:52:05pressure on you. Yeah, yeah, no problem.
- 1:52:07Yeah, no problem. And then I'll be contacting
- 1:52:09everybody else over the next two couple of weeks and booking in
- 1:52:12dates for the rest of them as well.
- 1:52:14Cool. And hopefully it'll go really
- 1:52:16well. So our first guest, I messaged
- 1:52:21him, chatting to him earlier and I was like, I was like, you're
- 1:52:23the victim, you're the sacrificial victim.
- 1:52:25If it goes horribly wrong, you're the one it's going to go
- 1:52:27horribly wrong for. And then we'll refine the
- 1:52:29technique after that. So well, if you ever wanted to
- 1:52:33see Rich do what I do and me not be on screen, it sounds like the
- 1:52:38thing for you. No, exactly.
- 1:52:40Do you want to know the, the, the, the weird thing was he was
- 1:52:43like, can I go first? He's like, because I'm meeting
- 1:52:46Baz and Gemma, a British couple who were at Legions Con last
- 1:52:49year. If you guys, yes, I changed them
- 1:52:51at length, kept in contact with Baz.
- 1:52:53Awesome guy. Gemma was lovely too.
- 1:52:56And they're over in this part of America at the moment.
- 1:52:58No hints, and they're meeting up with the person we're
- 1:53:01interviewing later on that evening sort of thing.
- 1:53:03So. Oh cool.
- 1:53:04So the legion spirit is spreading everywhere, do you
- 1:53:07know what I mean? It's just like, you know, you
- 1:53:08meet the legions con, you meet up when the person's on holiday.
- 1:53:11It's so great. These other British people on
- 1:53:14the show then? Yeah, we do.
- 1:53:15Yes, we've got a list. Of British people, we should get
- 1:53:17on the show. There's there's quite a few.
- 1:53:19You're the Brits here, so you need to sort it out.
- 1:53:23I mean, we're not a guest driven show, so that's, you know, but
- 1:53:26we but we do like to have guests from time to time.
- 1:53:28So. Yeah.
- 1:53:29Yeah. All right.
- 1:53:32I'm pressing this now before this episode goes on even longer
- 1:53:36for us. The unboxing 23 of the figures
- 1:53:38and like on this one and this one.
- 1:53:40But you did. Yeah.
- 1:53:41You you have enough stuff to get through for birthdays.
- 1:53:44Remember, everybody, stay safe out there.
- 1:53:46And if you're unboxing a very large box of figures, cardboard
- 1:53:49cuts are a thing. Be careful sense gloves,
- 1:53:53gardening gloves, something like that.
- 1:53:55A sharp enough but
