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 he's got a
- 0:12fake hammer. Oh.
- 0:13A fake? Yeah.
- 0:14Whoa. As I say, Dick.
- 0:18Welcome to episode 153 of the Allegiance podcast.
- 0:22This week we're going to chat about Legion builders a little
- 0:26bit RPG adjacent there because if you're going to create your
- 0:30own character for the RPG, you're probably going to start
- 0:32with a legion builder. At least that's the the most
- 0:35cost efficient and easy to customise way to do it.
- 0:38So we're going to talk about all the legion builders there's been
- 0:42as so far in the mythic legions line or nearly all of them.
- 0:46Rich, how are you uh. Knackered, been travelling
- 0:50everywhere with work. I say everywhere, a couple of
- 0:52different places, but I mean, I'm in a job.
- 0:54I don't travel normally. So yeah.
- 0:56So Tuesday, Wednesday last week and then Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
- 0:59of this week, you know, So I'm finally home and I'm not good,
- 1:03but glad to be back. That's just a quiet week for a,
- 1:06you know, card salesman or something, or.
- 1:08Exactly. People that used to, I'm sure,
- 1:10build up some sort of tolerance. So I'm like, out of my feet,
- 1:12tired. It's just like, you know, just
- 1:14don't pull. Yeah, it's definitely not the
- 1:17same as in sleeping like a hotel bedroom rather than your own bed
- 1:20for sure. Although my hotel room this time
- 1:23was amazing, I sent you guys pictures there.
- 1:24Yeah, the. Delivery place I stayed last
- 1:27time, yeah, was bigger than the whole room in Nottingham, so
- 1:30yeah, I had a full kitchen there, the hob and everything.
- 1:33It was, yeah, it was amazing room and all go well under the
- 1:37limit for what my company will bought, my government
- 1:40organisation will pay. So yeah, well, I'm thinking
- 1:43maybe there's a cancellation or something, so they were just
- 1:44trying to get shot of it because I'm quite late.
- 1:47Or maybe midweek rates and stuff like that.
- 1:50And so I got there on a Sunday night and it was dark.
- 1:53Got there, checked in everything next morning, like right, OK,
- 1:55Need to get over to the place for early doors set at this
- 1:58exhibition stand we're doing so walked out the front of the
- 2:01hotel, popped Google Maps on. It was like you're 100 yards
- 2:04away from the venue. I was like, what?
- 2:06I just turned around and it was just behind me.
- 2:09So that was amazing. Pure fluke, but that was
- 2:11amazing. Well.
- 2:12I'm glad you hadn't ordered an Uber because that would have
- 2:14been that'd. Have been a nightmare, yeah.
- 2:18Minimum minimum fare, 5 lbs or something you know well they.
- 2:22'D probably kept cancelling because they're like, yeah, this
- 2:25is and Rich would be paying hundreds of pounds in council
- 2:28for easing. And Mal, how's the cracker chew?
- 2:33I'm good, I'm good. It's been a busy couple of weeks
- 2:35myself. Not quite, as you know.
- 2:40What's the word globetrotting. Let's put it as rich, but just
- 2:43just work's been busy for for a change.
- 2:47For a few, and then you're keeping yourself busy with your
- 2:50rearranging of the Oh yeah, it's another project really, to be
- 2:57honest. Yeah.
- 2:59It's an update through the podcast each week now to one
- 3:02side. How you getting on OK?
- 3:05Yeah, if you're ever feeling depressed about your progress,
- 3:07you can just go back a few episodes and see what's behind
- 3:10you then. Well, I now have my my new, what
- 3:15you call it, painting table. You think nice set up here.
- 3:18This is what's now in the way here with my light.
- 3:22Yeah, I've got doors arriving for the for the cupboards.
- 3:26So hopefully within a couple of weeks that'll be all full as
- 3:30well. So yeah, that'll be good.
- 3:31That'll be good. Excellent.
- 3:34And uh, lest we forget you, you are also.
- 3:39You also have a little date this weekend.
- 3:41I do Purple male male. I will be staying up later than
- 3:47I have stayed up well since new year quite honestly, but that's
- 3:52the first time in a very long time, probably since legions
- 3:55con. Although I didn't do too late at
- 3:57legions con last year so that's not true.
- 4:01I heard the clear the the late night was probably with Van so
- 4:06it'll be the latest night I've had since I stayed up late with
- 4:09Van. So yeah, Saturday night, umm, US
- 4:14time I think 9:00 Eastern and eh, middle of the night here.
- 4:18So what's it like 3? AM here or something?
- 4:223:00 AM Where you are, John. Yeah, you got your jacket
- 4:26earned. Yeah, yeah.
- 4:28Well, I think it might melt if I earned it.
- 4:30So I will be capturing a few Z's before it starts so that I'm
- 4:35suitably lively for it. But.
- 4:38Yeah, I know to to get the creases just hang it up in the
- 4:40smoking section of a pub that will that will get the creases
- 4:46out and and it'll smell appropriate then as well.
- 4:50I'm looking forward to it. Should be good fun, yeah.
- 4:53Absolutely copious drinking in advance of it as well.
- 4:56That's no he's not doing the Billy Beige, is he?
- 4:58Oh, I wouldn't put it past him. I was going to say, am I not?
- 5:01I thought that was, I thought I was obligatory, yeah.
- 5:06What's pointing going on? It's expensive to call an
- 5:13ambulance that late at night. You know it is there's a call
- 5:16out for you or something, or maybe there's.
- 5:18No one to call ambulancy. We have national service.
- 5:21Oh yeah, you're free, of course. Yeah, we're free.
- 5:23It'll take 7 hours to get to you, but it will be free, yeah.
- 5:26You'd be dead on arrival, but yeah, you won't be out of
- 5:29bucket. That's it.
- 5:30Wait till the drivers start the next morning.
- 5:32But, you know, now be good. Good.
- 5:36And John, have we rarely ask how's your week been?
- 5:39Have you? Yeah.
- 5:40Good, because the weather is now suddenly springtime, I got sun,
- 5:45got vitamin D, so I put on sun cream today to work out in the
- 5:50garden a bit. So that was a new one, but I'm
- 5:53super cautious now with the sun cream because I've had a few a
- 5:55few little issues so. You've been mega.
- 5:59Gamble. Yeah, exactly.
- 6:02And I'm going to try and get back off and soon to get to
- 6:06trying to more, just to get more activity in because I'm
- 6:10expanding at a rate of knots here and I don't know how
- 6:12because I'm not eating any more food than usual and I'm drinking
- 6:15way less than usual. So I don't get it.
- 6:20I just don't. Maybe I'm retaining water?
- 6:23Or something. Menopause is a terrible thing,
- 6:27John. Yeah, menopause is it?
- 6:29Yeah, yeah, it happens. Yeah.
- 6:32Yeah. I like to admit it, but it does.
- 6:34I suppose. Yeah.
- 6:35Well, hopefully not, but yeah. And actually had a dinner last
- 6:39week with my former work colleagues that was really nice
- 6:42to catch up with them. Oh, nice.
- 6:43Yeah. And see what they're at.
- 6:46So that was fun. We went to a really nice
- 6:48restaurant, so that was a bit of a treat, I have to say.
- 6:52Yeah, Excellent, Right? Shall we see what's going on
- 6:56with this Kickstarter? Yes, we have.
- 6:59I haven't actually checked the funding amount today.
- 7:00I think it's the first time since it launched I haven't had
- 7:02a nose. Stupid busy work.
- 7:06Yeah, we can. You know that's.
- 7:07Something out of it. This kind of dates it a bit of I
- 7:09have some graphs for the first seven days, but let's let's have
- 7:14a look at where it is currently. And I have to admit, after our
- 7:22last episode, I, yeah, I sat there the next day, not quite
- 7:26that in the evening, the next day being like, ah, maybe I
- 7:29should add that and that I haven't done it yet.
- 7:34So we're currently as recording Wednesday Night, Our Time, 4
- 7:39Horsemen, O'clock Time, Your Time and $780,663 with 19153
- 7:48backers with 31 days to go. So it's doing well and but now
- 7:56is the stage where it's kind of slow going, if you know what I
- 7:58mean. Yeah.
- 8:01Well, I think we did incredibly well and possibly, yeah, maybe
- 8:05not, but possibly better than expected within the 1st 24
- 8:08hours, didn't it? Yeah, first few hours, forget
- 8:1224. Yeah.
- 8:15So we see here that the the funding for the first seven
- 8:18days, so obviously massive jump on the first day, that's
- 8:23everyone getting in to support it initially and backing.
- 8:28The beauty of this is you don't have to pay until the end of the
- 8:32Kickstarter, which is 4th of April and you can adjust your
- 8:35pledge all the way up to there and they have to pay in three as
- 8:40well. So you can split it up into
- 8:42three so. Be relying on that definitely.
- 8:45Yes, I did that. As well, just like, yeah, this
- 8:47is great. And the first, it's a good.
- 8:50Thinking because I'm potentially going to spend more than I was
- 8:53going to because I can spread it across 3 so.
- 8:56I will 100% spend what? Way more than I would have done
- 8:58otherwise, yeah. But don't forget the old April
- 9:04in stock sale, you know, keep a few quid for that I.
- 9:08Was so shocked by that Jonathan Irish for a second my.
- 9:14Retailer Rising Suns and. Well, I heard a little.
- 9:19You've get to come in as. Well, in in some groups today,
- 9:23there's some people that have said they've spoken to retailers
- 9:27who've indicated that 18th of March, Wednesday, the Rising Sun
- 9:34St date, they've been told. So I don't think that's
- 9:36officially public yet, but some retailers have been having to
- 9:41return. So yeah, so not official, not
- 9:44official news, but you know, official, unofficial maybe.
- 9:48My one grumpy thing other than the price within pouring call.
- 9:51I mean, the package it amazingly, you know, you could
- 9:54have a car drive over and it be intact, but they they post it
- 9:58out or ship it out for American colleagues, friends on the day
- 10:03was a lot of other ones do it arrives on the day, Yeah.
- 10:06Yeah, yeah. I suppose it's a tricky one
- 10:10sometimes because if you ship it too early and then it arrives
- 10:13early and guys posted in the group and where did you get that
- 10:17from? Just posted the day before and
- 10:19that can't. The day before, the day before.
- 10:22Safe surely? Yeah anyway looking here.
- 10:25So 612,000 and change in the 1st 24 hours and then it kind of was
- 10:35slow after that obviously because that's you know, you
- 10:37can't just suddenly kind of manufacture the same amount of
- 10:41people to do the same pledges the next day and obviously we
- 10:45get some unlocks along the way. Second day was still more
- 10:48people, 61,000, and then the next couple of days it dropped
- 10:55lower. I think on Sunday it was only
- 10:578000, but Sunday is a dead day for this kind of stuff.
- 11:00People are generally doing other things.
- 11:04A nice bump on Monday this week, 44,000.
- 11:08I think Jeremy put out a call that day to kind of, you know,
- 11:12get people. That was when you jumped in
- 11:14Rich, I think. It is.
- 11:15They've got $680 in mind by that Millicent round game.
- 11:18Jump on because you've got an expert like go on there.
- 11:21So they're at this gaming Expo this week, yeah, which is an
- 11:24industry thing. I don't think it's like a
- 11:25general public thing. It's it's, you know, speaking to
- 11:27retailers and people in that industry.
- 11:30So hopefully they'll do well there and yeah, then on the
- 11:35Tuesday back to kind of 1111 thousand ish.
- 11:40I have already seen people in the cabal saying oh I, I joined
- 11:45up for the RPG and this is my, you know, I'm I'm now looking to
- 11:48see what figures I can get, which other always quite cool.
- 11:52Yeah, I've seen a few because I'm like a moderator on the
- 11:55European Mythic Leaders Group and I've seen a few new members,
- 11:58you know, kind of we've heard of it last week, so I assume
- 12:02they're coming from that side. So that's pretty cool and.
- 12:07The ideal scenario isn't it for the horse, yes, that people come
- 12:09to RPG and then get into the figures as well.
- 12:11It's like hello. Yeah.
- 12:13And then a similar story with the backers here.
- 12:15You see, eh, 14179 in the first day, I think the average is
- 12:20around 420 per person average back so and steady since then
- 12:29kind of goes along with the amount of money, basically the
- 12:32amount of people. So it is pretty much about
- 12:34getting people in. I think the people that are in
- 12:37already will add to their pledges as the unlocks go.
- 12:41But as there's pretty big gaps between a lot of the, you know,
- 12:46paying for, you know, unlocks like the the barrier and the
- 12:51vampire kind of deluxe pack that, you know, that was what,
- 12:56750? Yeah.
- 13:00And there's got to be more people like, I mean, not so
- 13:03much. No, that was half a million.
- 13:05Sorry. No, no.
- 13:06No, sorry, not so much backers, but the the financial side of
- 13:10it. There's got to be more people
- 13:11like myself and Rich who have every intention of adding more
- 13:14things to our pledge. We just sort of taking a bit of
- 13:17time to think about what and how and where and all that.
- 13:20Yeah, I still need to add another Ranger set character set
- 13:26on the. I didn't order any of the Borea,
- 13:28so I need at least two or three of those.
- 13:29So yeah. And I mean, there is, it's, it's
- 13:32not great for the for the unlocking stuff, but you can add
- 13:36the afterwards as well. You know once you know, once the
- 13:40gig start is over and you finalise your order, you can add
- 13:44more stuff than usually. But I see, yeah.
- 13:49It's better to be in the pot for the, you know, for unlocking
- 13:53stuff and therefore well, get more stuff.
- 13:56And then realistically, your funds might go on something new
- 14:00rather than a duplicate of something you you've already
- 14:02got. So yeah, definitely I've, I'm,
- 14:06I'm looking at your graphs here, John.
- 14:08And I'm just thinking Matt Drake is, he's getting more
- 14:10comfortable and relaxed and enjoying himself at the moment,
- 14:13so. Yes.
- 14:16So this this data, this data obviously comes from
- 14:19Kickstarter, but I I took it from this kick track website,
- 14:22but their graphs are really horrible to read on screen.
- 14:25So I was. About to say they are terrible.
- 14:27Yeah, but I assume you pay maybe money to join and get better
- 14:34graphs, you know? Yes, downloadable stuff, you
- 14:38know? And yeah, so I just tried to
- 14:41make these easier to read on screen.
- 14:43So yeah, right, moving along. Here's the unlocks now.
- 14:50So yeah, it was half a million for the for the monster builder
- 14:54and then 750 for the dice. And you can see that, uh,
- 14:59obviously the monster builder builder we got from 500 to 750.
- 15:04I mean, there was also people come still coming in then for
- 15:07the whole thing. But because you're adding a lot
- 15:11of $45.00 figure there at this stage, it's kind of it's adding
- 15:16to the total pretty easily. Whereas the dice is 25 and
- 15:21you're going to get, of course people are going to add the
- 15:23dice, but not as many as is going to add the figure.
- 15:25Let's be honest. Yeah.
- 15:26You know, so I mean, I have, yeah.
- 15:28I haven't actually added the dice yet.
- 15:32They got $25 during the show. Yeah, OK.
- 15:35Well, I've been a very good boy. I've added the dice as well, so
- 15:38yeah. And so at a million, we get a
- 15:41new figure unlock, the villainous paladin cleric, which
- 15:45we'll have a look at the silhouette here in a minute now.
- 15:47So hold your horses there. And then we'll have one and a
- 15:51half million if we get there. Another figure unlock.
- 15:53So and then this was a new thing they added.
- 15:57These are stretch goals. So the previous one was add on
- 16:01on locks. You've got to pay for them to
- 16:03add to your funding. These stretch goals are things
- 16:06that are added to stuff that's already in the Kickstarter.
- 16:10If you get the big all inset, you know you're likely in the
- 16:13you're likely in for all of these.
- 16:16If not, then you'll have to kind of keep track of what things are
- 16:21being added to and maybe that makes it more value for you.
- 16:24And we've had the 1/4 of a million unlocked.
- 16:28That was when they added the dice to the core figures, the
- 16:32light and dark dice. And then the six 18168 backers.
- 16:39That was a kind of a milestone because that was what Advent of
- 16:42Decay I was seen at the backers. So they thought when they get to
- 16:44that, that'll be a cool milestone.
- 16:47And they added a skull face plate to the heads pack, which
- 16:50we'll have a look in more detail here in a SEC, but that's pretty
- 16:53cool. And then we got a bunch of other
- 16:55stuff and should we quickly go through it?
- 17:00800,010 monster cards added to the beginner box.
- 17:03So monster cards, I mean, that looks cool.
- 17:08They've engaged a bunch of artists here, which also there's
- 17:12meant there's mentioned of in these slides.
- 17:14I mean, I'm assuming when they say that they mean kind of, you
- 17:20know, all the stats for the monster on yet, as well as some
- 17:24probably very cool art. Yeah, exactly.
- 17:26Yeah, that's that would be my guess. 850,000 a folded map of
- 17:31mythos featuring new artwork. This is very interesting just
- 17:36for the the the mythology and the lore added to the core rule
- 17:42book. So that's the big main rule
- 17:44book. 900,000 heroic paladin standee added to the select
- 17:52combos. I assume that'll be probably the
- 17:56all in maybe the beginner box, I don't know, or the beginner box
- 17:59with the paladin, maybe something like that.
- 18:03Enemies head pack included with full adventure combos.
- 18:08So I mean that's pretty good value if we can get there and
- 18:14Kickstarter exclusive and four horsemen RBG pain added to the
- 18:20full adventure combos. So now that's that's that'll be
- 18:25a very exclusive pin really at the end of it, you know, and
- 18:29these are all so all those ones I've just gone through, they're
- 18:33all before the next add on unlock.
- 18:36So there's a bunch of stuff there if we can take along and
- 18:41then 1.1 million is the Four Horsemen or PG dice added to the
- 18:48full adventure combos. So I wonder if that's like the
- 18:54one we got already, maybe in a different colour way?
- 18:56Oh, yes, yeah. At Legions Con Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 19:01yeah. One and a quarter million slip
- 19:03case added to combos that include both the core rule book
- 19:06and the beginner box that. Would be nice.
- 19:09Yeah. And then 1.35 million standees.
- 19:14Villainous set of eight added to full adventure combos.
- 19:18That would be pretty sweet as well.
- 19:20Be very interesting set of eight and we've only really got what,
- 19:244 villainous characters even with all the unlock, so that
- 19:27would be interesting. Although if they do like they do
- 19:31with the minis, it'll just be different poses for the orcan
- 19:33the skeleton. I think he'll be potentially a
- 19:36little look at sea or what we might get next maybe.
- 19:40I don't know that. Would be great if we could,
- 19:41yeah, yeah. Perhaps to match the monster
- 19:45cards, there's a thought of some of the monster.
- 19:48Cards, yeah. And so this is just here to show
- 19:53the the dice that have been unlocked so that you obviously
- 19:56get the Necronominus dice is the new one that was unlocked.
- 19:59We had it last week. Little Jeremy accidentally
- 20:02teased it on his show. So here's the official things.
- 20:07So the Lord of Death has entered the battlefield.
- 20:09Set of seven game dice features a design logo from Necromanous
- 20:13faction. The set comes in a collector's
- 20:17team, and it's 25 to any existing pledge you need to add
- 20:22it on for. I really like the new this this
- 20:26new set. I don't know if I said it in the
- 20:28last show, I'm not sure, but one of the more exciting things
- 20:31about it is it suggests we might get a faction dice for every
- 20:37faction, which would be really cool.
- 20:39No, it's going to cost money again and God damn it, Mao.
- 20:43You know. It's long slightly no.
- 20:44We have an addiction to collecting stuff.
- 20:46It's. Like, yeah.
- 20:49Yeah, just do a set of tender. Just do a set of 10 dice with
- 20:53each dice been a different faction.
- 20:55That'll do. That'll do, no?
- 20:59It'll do for the wallet, yeah, but I won all the different.
- 21:02Dice roll. I know.
- 21:04They're amazing. Yeah.
- 21:06And figure on locks. So we saw the mythic monster
- 21:09Biller. And here's the villainous
- 21:11paladin. So various theories here.
- 21:16Possibly that it's the the rogue's head painted in a evil
- 21:23colour scheme of some sort. What do we think, Rich?
- 21:28Unlikely. I don't really reuse ahead.
- 21:30No, there's a new one to. It no, I think it's I mean, it
- 21:33might be had the views in different figure, but I don't
- 21:36think it'll reuse a head. I mean, it's a bit like Lord
- 21:40Bardrick. It's a little bit like that sort
- 21:42of head, but maybe without the crown.
- 21:44So maybe they've found a way around that.
- 21:49Any ideas Mel, or are you? I thought they possibly had to
- 21:52reuse the rogue's head. I'm wondering if it'll be a
- 21:57shadow elf because that feels like that would fit the paladin
- 22:02cleric kind of vibe it'd. Be great to get a 1.0 shadow
- 22:06elf. I'd be really.
- 22:07Awesome, wouldn't it? But yeah.
- 22:08Then I just heard the reason ahead as part of the same
- 22:11campaigns written. I'd be I wouldn't mind myself,
- 22:15but like blue face. Paint, rich paint.
- 22:19This is wonderful. Hey, at least.
- 22:21He's not going to race his head. Maybe throws that haircut.
- 22:26It will be now it'll be blinking braces head.
- 22:28But there you go. No, maybe it'll be one of the
- 22:31previously previous elf heads, now that we know it's a thing
- 22:34they can do. Blow bloated up, Blown up to
- 22:381.02 point. Oh, what do I mean?
- 22:40Oh. Yeah, he has a crown to the guy,
- 22:45Shadow of Yeah, Ranger. Ranger.
- 22:48Yeah, that'd be cool. Well.
- 22:51Hopefully we get there in sometime in the next couple of
- 22:54weeks. Heads pack.
- 22:56So that's just to show the skull face plate is now there in it.
- 23:01And this is what they've done to show Brett that he needs another
- 23:07one of these paladin cleric figures.
- 23:11And so that's called play goals in this chainmail head here that
- 23:16you get in the heads back. So you don't need to have a
- 23:22chainmail head. If you bind that heads back,
- 23:24you'll be able to use the the skull with that just like this,
- 23:31right? Some artist features here.
- 23:33So Sean, Andrew Marion, I'm not going to read all the blurb
- 23:38here. It's small and a lot, but he's
- 23:43an artist from a graduate of Syracuse University, which I
- 23:50think is in Long Island. Maybe it's in New York anyway
- 23:53somewhere. Yeah.
- 23:56And he's a full time concept artist in the video game
- 24:00industry and he's the guy doing the art for the wrap around.
- 24:05So the the GM or Dungeon Master and Dungeons and Dragons.
- 24:11He has he's trying to hide all his stuff, so you don't see why
- 24:13he's at as he's guiding you through the game and he have
- 24:17this little kind of I'd imagine it in the shape a bit like the
- 24:22figure obscure wrap around. You know, that kind of obviously
- 24:25we'd be different dimensions, but that same type of thing.
- 24:28And this is the art. And so you get a better look at
- 24:31it there. So you've got Necronominus and
- 24:35his children on one side. You got a bunch of skeletons and
- 24:40zombies in the middle, including Thoracus there.
- 24:43I see. And then you got the.
- 24:47Yeah. Then you got the Templars.
- 24:49They're go on, go get them, go get them.
- 24:51You got Vanguard, a bunch of other Templars there.
- 24:56So ether on I suppose. And yeah, some really cool, that
- 24:59skull kind of animal thing on the hill.
- 25:04It's amazing. Like a castle.
- 25:07Yeah. That's it.
- 25:08That doesn't mean it is. Yeah, but it's kind of like it's
- 25:10animalistic. Yeah.
- 25:12Built on a long dead giant dead thing.
- 25:15Yeah, that's very cool. Maybe it's a dead dragon.
- 25:21Maybe. Maybe.
- 25:24Yeah. And then we just see a little
- 25:26bit closer here. So yeah, very nice.
- 25:29I like the style. It's kind of pretty classic.
- 25:33It's not like it's not hyper realistic.
- 25:36It's kind of, you know, it's got its own artistic style.
- 25:43And yeah, that's very cool. I really thought that the kids
- 25:46they're really like as a barrel duck looks really cool Yeah,
- 25:51yeah, Necronominus obviously and I like the way Necronominus is
- 25:57taller than barrel death that that just works.
- 26:00Yeah, yeah. And look at the look at the line
- 26:03going back into that we're. Just looking at that, it's
- 26:06amazing. Isn't it Just relentless horde
- 26:09of zombies and skeletons margin? Yeah, it's just one of your
- 26:12shows, Rich. One of your dream shows.
- 26:16Yeah, looks awful lot like red skeleton in behind.
- 26:21Oh yeah. Yeah.
- 26:22Oh, it's a Clavin boom On the buying it.
- 26:25On the buying it. Right.
- 26:30And another artist, Brian K Borgman, he's doing umm, the
- 26:37book the, the in the Shadows of Mercurius role-playing adventure
- 26:42for level 1 characters. So that is the adventure that
- 26:46comes in the beginner box, I believe.
- 26:49And he's doing that. He has bunch of experience.
- 26:54I think he's a, he's a musician as well, recording artist, but
- 26:58also he's done role-playing stuff including GIGGI Joe, the
- 27:05role-playing game. You ever heard hear that that?
- 27:07Renegade. Yeah.
- 27:09I was very tempted to pick that up, to be honest with you.
- 27:12Yeah, sounds cool. I've never heard of it.
- 27:14And yeah, so in good hands there, someone with good
- 27:20experience and he should he should do a great job on that.
- 27:30And then these are the this was also shown to us during the
- 27:34week. These are the gaming boards
- 27:39basically. So you see there are different
- 27:42scenes. So this looks like an inside,
- 27:45yeah, inside of a building. The squares there.
- 27:51This one I think with the bigger squares that's for like this
- 27:54mythic encounter thing. Right.
- 27:58Where you use your your bigger figures.
- 28:00Yeah, it's very cool idea. And then this one with the
- 28:04smaller squares is the and it's a bigger, like a bigger area
- 28:10with a bunch of different buildings.
- 28:12Yeah, this is what you would use your little standees or your
- 28:15minis. Oh yeah, out there in the top
- 28:18left corner is the bit we've just looked at.
- 28:21Gotcha. Yeah, Yeah, it is.
- 28:22Yeah. In the Yeah, you're right now,
- 28:24yeah. This thing going to be a bath
- 28:26like that. Yeah, there's, yeah, exactly.
- 28:31Just need little beer. Little beer accessory pack now.
- 28:36Well, we've got we're getting stuff.
- 28:38We get in the A. Boris so you picked up a.
- 28:42Barrel of Boris's finest ale and threw.
- 28:45It Yeah. So these look great and fun to
- 28:51play and can imagine them on a nice little coffee table and
- 28:57some more art here. So this is an artist on
- 29:01Instagram goes by the name of Ohr Dot MERT so or Mert.
- 29:08And this is just some 2 cool characters.
- 29:13So Zaria and Jorund and they have posted so far and they said
- 29:19they are working with the horsemen on the game.
- 29:23So maybe some of these cards that we had mentioned already,
- 29:27but the bad guy cards, maybe there's good guy cards already
- 29:30in there. But this is really cool retro
- 29:33comic book style art. Yeah, and and I, I found Zaharia
- 29:39being more one point O scale looking very interesting.
- 29:44Yeah. I wonder what that could mean
- 29:48for the future. Oh.
- 29:49Yeah, yeah. Maybe.
- 29:52OK, that is really reading between the lines there.
- 29:54It is. Yeah, it absolutely is.
- 29:58If they do that, he's going to be like.
- 30:03Yeah, so the artist's full name is Oran Mert, SO0H 0RH dot MERT.
- 30:11So on Instagram, but we've shared these for sure and a
- 30:15bunch of people are sharing them.
- 30:16So if you're connected at all through there, you'll see them.
- 30:20I love the Durons with the magic.
- 30:22And yeah, these remind me of the old mini comics you got with
- 30:25your figures back in the days on that style.
- 30:28Yeah. I mean, I think these are better
- 30:31because there's definitely more depth to them, but the style is
- 30:35the same. They almost feel like they could
- 30:37do it would like glow in the dark touch not only in the dark
- 30:44but. Lenticular.
- 30:46Black light. Black light.
- 30:47Touches on them. That would be very cool.
- 30:52Yeah, you just are limited edition foil version or
- 30:55something like that. Is rubbing his thighs.
- 31:03I'm glad you realised what that was because I thought that looks
- 31:06really dodgy. I took the higher, higher ground
- 31:09mall. I was like, no, there's an easy,
- 31:12I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it.
- 31:15Right. So and that's the RPG, that's
- 31:19where we are at the moment and we'll keep in touch with it as
- 31:22we go along. And I imagine these, unless this
- 31:26horsemen have some surprises up their sleeve, imagine it'll be
- 31:30slow going the next week or two and we'll eventually get to some
- 31:34unlocks and probably the next like the the row with the evil
- 31:40paddled and cleric. When that unlocks, then there'll
- 31:43be another bump. So, but that could be really
- 31:47towards the end, who knows? Yeah, right.
- 31:52Legion builders, you better get to them then.
- 31:53Huh? Right.
- 31:58I've done them in some. Starting with the words.
- 32:02I've done them with some sort in some sort of chronological
- 32:05order. So you won't see all the
- 32:07Barbarians here now, Rich. So you've got some for later as
- 32:11well. Oh, good.
- 32:14And we're just going to go through them and, you know,
- 32:18obviously talk a little bit about them and see.
- 32:21Yeah, so barbarian legion builder.
- 32:24This was a deluxe figure in the in the first wave of mythic
- 32:28legions has been re released a few times, once by mistake.
- 32:39And it was in All Stars 1, which which really, I don't know if
- 32:43that many more people joined the community between the first
- 32:48Kickstarter and All Stars one that seemed to be quite close
- 32:51together. But this guy is always in high
- 32:53demand because he's you know, you can do the multiple
- 32:56configurations with him. Got cool armours, a little bit
- 33:00more paint details on him than a regular legion builder,
- 33:04especially from the early waves. I guess Mali was one of your
- 33:10still better figures to the stars.
- 33:12Yeah, still one of my favourite Legion builders.
- 33:14Builders. I think I've got at least three
- 33:17of them. Probably that's it.
- 33:19But, you know, two of them are used for the pack and the other
- 33:23one is used for a custom. Yeah, which is some, I think
- 33:27we're talking about Conan. My original Conan custom was
- 33:31built off the body of one of these guys.
- 33:33So yeah. Yeah, Bridge, not a fan.
- 33:41I mean, you know, it's barbarian, so no, But the stuff
- 33:44you get in the pack is really good value.
- 33:46I'm sure agent that people talk, people talked about it being the
- 33:48good way to introduce people to mithil lesions with all the
- 33:51different parts and that sort of yeah.
- 33:52And they're not wrong on that. It absolutely is that.
- 33:55Yeah, this would figure would have been held up as one of the
- 33:59figures that if you buy one for somebody, this is the one to get
- 34:04them hooked and that's I have your money in your collection
- 34:08or. I've got one I bought second
- 34:11hand so it's it's literally just the pieces in the right hand one
- 34:15with the gorgo helmet. I think it's just those bits
- 34:18I've got in mind, but I've popped a different head on it
- 34:21so. OK, you probably have a bunch in
- 34:23your collection that have been painted as customs and you just
- 34:26don't know they're really. I think there's a very good
- 34:29Yeah, as long as they're clearly not a barbarian now, that's
- 34:32fine. Yeah, I have a few of these.
- 34:34These are great. But you know, since then we've
- 34:37had other similar type figures that maybe have taken over so we
- 34:43can move on. The original skeleton lead and
- 34:45builder, he was a classic in terms of customising, getting
- 34:50people into the line, you know, a skeleton.
- 34:54I think we have better skeleton Legion builder now.
- 34:57But you know, there's some nostalgia based here.
- 35:02Rich, I guess you've had a lot of these over the years.
- 35:05Over the years, yeah. I think at one point I had like
- 35:0725 or something. It's been thinned down a little
- 35:11bit since with just all the new skeletons coming out and that
- 35:13sort of stuff, but I think I've got about a dozen.
- 35:16I've only got one in this sort of format and the rest have been
- 35:21broken out of the various customs sort of thing, but it's
- 35:23a great. Figure yeah, I remember one of
- 35:26the first custom figures I did was dry brushing rusty armour
- 35:30onto the this figure basically and I was blown away by it.
- 35:34The time. I mean it's still cool, but you
- 35:37know that I could actually do that, you know, even just
- 35:41following a few basic instructions.
- 35:43So pretty cool mouth, not a fan. Not before my time and and not
- 35:50one I bothered to go back and try and get.
- 35:53So yeah, not one. Not one for.
- 35:56Me and been released a bunch of times and I've seen the original
- 36:00wave with the reinforcements. Wave was also in All Stars.
- 36:05To believe. I've got him in the
- 36:07reinforcements wave actually, but I've only got one if I have,
- 36:10yeah. The only frustrating thing with
- 36:12this figure, I didn't really realise it, I'll pick up on it
- 36:15until I got a couple of custom heads painted, is the heads
- 36:18darker than the rest of the bones.
- 36:20So if you ask somebody to paint one ahead to go on it, they'll
- 36:23paint it dark like the head that's there.
- 36:25And then it's like, oh, it didn't really work with the
- 36:26bones. Not as bad when there's armour
- 36:31between the bones and the head, you know?
- 36:34I'm quite pinnickety over that sort of thing, so I just double
- 36:37checked my my spreadsheets and I have 11 of these currently, so I
- 36:40was pretty close to that well. I'm not sure if I've got one or
- 36:45not. The fur.
- 36:46I do remember the first Legion builder wave, I didn't actually
- 36:51get everything. I think cutting right or can I
- 36:53might not have got him actually coming to think of it.
- 36:55So yeah, because I just, you know, least favourite characters
- 36:59and at the time I wasn't quite as all in as I seem to be now.
- 37:02So yeah, Well, he. Was in reinforcements 1, wasn't
- 37:06he? So that people went yeah, crazy.
- 37:08And lat, it was like, yeah, Philly boots.
- 37:10Oh yeah, because that we were coming out of a drought then,
- 37:14especially of Legion builders, so.
- 37:17I should have got more goblins at that point.
- 37:19I only I think I only got one of the few each one I wanted and I
- 37:23have regret not getting more goblins at that point.
- 37:28Orc legion builder, the original.
- 37:30So it's basically a very similar build to the skeleton.
- 37:34Obviously the evil armour instead of the Knights armour
- 37:38and you got the orc fleshy bits. Classic figure.
- 37:43This one drew me indefinitely at the time and I didn't have one
- 37:47for ages, but I remember getting the Colosseum work which we'll
- 37:50see later and then obviously got this guy in the reinforcements.
- 37:55A good few of them, actually. You guys this too?
- 37:59And fear. No, I didn't know, Rich.
- 38:03Initially no because I wasn't a big into my orcs and then I got
- 38:06more into them. So I think I've got looking at
- 38:09my spreadsheet which is the guides of life and collecting.
- 38:12I believe I have 6 of this guy at the moment, again all
- 38:16customed up. I don't have any any in that
- 38:18setup. Yeah, yeah.
- 38:21I think the pity with this guy is I think if he didn't if he
- 38:23had an unhelmeted head as well. But future orcs did have bronze
- 38:33dwarf legion builder and this is a great dwarf body.
- 38:37But I don't need to have this figure in my chef as such.
- 38:41Would have bought a bunch of these for customs.
- 38:42But the figure itself doesn't do much.
- 38:46It's not bronze for a start. Yeah, yeah.
- 38:49That's a weird thing. And it's got gold antlers and
- 38:56gold axe, and that's the worst axe in the line, right?
- 39:01I used to like it but I mean the new 1 is far better, like the
- 39:05axe. Tool never have.
- 39:09Man, you like this fellow. Yeah, yeah, I've got, I've got
- 39:13one to display and then I'll go a few to and actually some after
- 39:19the fact to to use this for custom parts.
- 39:22Yeah, yeah, I quite like the that head as well, that he comes
- 39:26with them and it's one of my favourite sort of Dwarf Legion
- 39:30build, you know, not yeah build, but sort of generic Dwarf guy
- 39:36heads. So, yeah, yeah.
- 39:39You got many of these rich according to spreadsheet.
- 39:42Yes, I have nine well customised up again.
- 39:46I wouldn't display him like that.
- 39:47I got, I remember buying 12 in the reinforcements because you
- 39:50could 12 was maximum you could buy.
- 39:52So I've obviously got rid of three at some point.
- 39:54But yeah, got 9 all, all either customed up already or ready to
- 39:59be used for customs. Yeah.
- 40:02And it's just worth reminding people at this stage these were
- 40:05like 24 to 26 dollars I think originally, maybe even 22.
- 40:12They're going to 2426. So now paint is very much
- 40:16minimal in terms of you get one good Flacco, maybe you get some
- 40:21small details painted and obviously weapons are generally
- 40:2411 flat colour or metallic colour.
- 40:29Maybe Gold Knight, Legion builder, original Gold Knight
- 40:34there on the left. That's the only picture I could
- 40:37find of it, and obviously the one from the reinforcements on
- 40:40the right, which is actually better because it has a wash on
- 40:43it as well. Yeah, I never had the original
- 40:471. I think it was one of the rare
- 40:48ones trying to hold off and I was never bothered enough to pay
- 40:51the sort of prices, but I've got a fair few of the new one.
- 40:56Yeah, the new one is great. Obviously didn't have the old
- 40:59one either myself. Not your thing either now.
- 41:04And being and I, I didn't, I didn't need too many, but I
- 41:06definitely got one because I do that.
- 41:08Yeah, funnily enough, if I'd been around for the original 1,
- 41:12I'd have probably had him because, you know, Goldeney,
- 41:15it's kind of cool, yeah. As Knights go.
- 41:18So yeah. Yeah.
- 41:19And I think on the second one also, I much prefer that head
- 41:23that he came with, the Beaky kind of head.
- 41:26I really like that, Yeah. Yeah, I think we call it the
- 41:29jousting head, don't they? When they're that's right, yeah.
- 41:32Yeah, the armours quite close as well to to Magnus.
- 41:36So I know the couple of customs that I had, I actually got rid
- 41:40of a Magnus and just use one of these guys instead.
- 41:44Nice and quids in on the Magnus then.
- 41:48Yeah, there was a yeah, you know, this, this, this was what,
- 41:52$26? Whatever.
- 41:54Like, yeah, I could sell the Magnus for £70 or whatever.
- 41:57So yeah, definitely a better deal.
- 41:59Nice, sensible. And yeah, so so far maybe there
- 42:05isn't too much basis for building or PG characters.
- 42:08I mean you could to customise, but you definitely could.
- 42:13As we get further along and I noticed a lot, there seems to be
- 42:17more bad guy Legion builders than good guy.
- 42:21That's funny, isn't it? Well, you need fodder, don't
- 42:24you? It's a bit like GI Joe with the
- 42:26Legion of Cobra infantry and troopers sort of thing you can
- 42:30mow down, yeah. Gold skeleton legion builder?
- 42:36So the original 1 is very hard to get, was never re released in
- 42:44anything, and they've made a version 2 of him in the ashes of
- 42:48Bender wave which really isn't a legion builder anymore because
- 42:53it's a fully, you know, detailed figure with soft goods, wings,
- 42:58all sorts. And you could still legion build
- 43:02him, but you'd be legion building him at the regular
- 43:04price for sure. Character in the game though.
- 43:10Yeah, totally. Actually, Yeah.
- 43:12Yeah. This is, you know, I don't know,
- 43:17are bad guys playable? Yeah.
- 43:19Yeah, they must speak as, I mean, as I said previously, in
- 43:24D&D 5th edition, you can play. You know, there's fact, there's
- 43:28lawful, good, evil, OK, so stuff.
- 43:31So I assume we're going to get the equivalent to that so you
- 43:34can play. Well, yes, because we're getting
- 43:36the factions, so you must be able to play someone from the
- 43:39Legion of Aritha. Yeah must well he's I always
- 43:44wanted the original but it was way too pricey always so glad to
- 43:51see the the version 2 and he's very cool.
- 43:53Version 2 you can actually take all the stuff off and have much
- 43:57closer to the original as well if you want to display them like
- 44:00that or use them like that and. Wide Why would you ever want to?
- 44:06Maybe so. Quite an army.
- 44:09Style, Yeah, yeah. Or you have, you know, the new
- 44:13guy plus a couple of minions. You know, that's a classic look,
- 44:16yeah. Yeah, I'm getting, yeah, I'm
- 44:19getting 3 of this, the new guy. But I'm they're all going to be
- 44:22angels are just going to get different heads for them.
- 44:25Cool, anyone have the original? No, no, it.
- 44:30Was never happened. It just didn't make sense.
- 44:32A gold skeleton was. Just like, oh, you see, it's
- 44:34another one that I probably would have forget, even though
- 44:36not a skeleton fan per SE would have picked up because it's so
- 44:41bonkers in terms of what it is. But yeah, that's why I love the
- 44:44new one. It's it's absolutely nuts, isn't
- 44:47it? I've got one on order.
- 44:50I might, I might pick up another one at a later date to do
- 44:53something with. Yeah.
- 44:56Silver Dwarf, This was an All Stars 2 pick up for me and I
- 45:03think he got in there last minute due to some great
- 45:06campaigning on in the community. I think that was back even
- 45:10before the Cabal. Loud Dwarf fans?
- 45:13Surely not. I think these were actually
- 45:18Flock fans because this is this guy's in the Flock I believe So
- 45:25yeah, another cool based dwarf and probably prefer him to the
- 45:32bronze dwarf, but there's not much in it.
- 45:39Cool dwarf. Yeah, I think because, because
- 45:43this is an older one, I think only ever had one of him to turn
- 45:47into a custom and I don't think I've ever done anything with it
- 45:49actually. I think it might still be boxed
- 45:51up somewhere. Yeah, I think I have one.
- 45:54I had a couple and I think a customised 1 then as well and
- 45:59sold it and I think I sold one as well, I think to Mr Calvo, if
- 46:03I remember it was ages ago, long time ago.
- 46:09Yeah, so cool one Mal. I can't go.
- 46:12For your time, if I have got him, I don't know.
- 46:14I don't think I have. But I'm all for any dwarfs, to
- 46:17be honest with you. I would pick him up if I haven't
- 46:21got him. And yeah, I could pick him up,
- 46:24yeah. I mean, I'm kind of in love with
- 46:26the new dwarf parts now, but I mean if there were to do this
- 46:29guy in the kind of reinforcements to level where
- 46:32it's, you know, with a bit more paint detail, you know, wash on
- 46:37the silver more like the Valiant nice silver or something like
- 46:40that thing. Very very rarely see this guy
- 46:43now come in the last time I saw someone selling one or talking
- 46:48about it or anything. Yeah.
- 46:52This is the way I sort of look at the new versus the old with
- 46:55the dwarves and it works particularly well with the
- 46:57dwarves is kind of we got a lot of heavily armoured characters
- 47:01previously didn't we're now we're we're we're able to get a
- 47:04few more lighter armoured, which we've actually had in the tall
- 47:09of characters for quite a while now.
- 47:12So. And sticking on the silver team,
- 47:16Silver Knight, so the original Silver Knight again, a bit of a
- 47:21Unicorn really in the end, but we got an amazing updated one
- 47:28more recently for I think $30.00.
- 47:31So a little bit more expensive, but when you factor in inflation
- 47:36and what you get and the updated body build and also the paint is
- 47:42better and that shield, this is a knockout.
- 47:47Yeah, she was amazing. One of the best Knight Legion
- 47:50builders out there. So yeah, if you want to make a
- 47:55basis of a knight figure here, then this I think is the guy to
- 48:00go for, you know, Legion builder wise.
- 48:04Is it? Is it the Silver Knight you're
- 48:05going to be able to use with the the blue whatever they're called
- 48:11in the ashes of AGB? Blue Shield, the Blue.
- 48:14Shield. Yeah, I think so, yeah.
- 48:16So there you go, we're getting into the realms of the the new
- 48:20one, the realms of here you go, easy pop and swaps to with
- 48:24another figure to make yourself your own character.
- 48:27Aren't we have a head? Sculpt whatever you want on it.
- 48:30Yeah, I think I've got half a dozen of the new one just so I
- 48:33can turn it into like custom characters or two of them are
- 48:36members of the Order of the Phoenix, which is part of my
- 48:39Audrey throw group. Alvo painted up a couple of cool
- 48:42heads for me and I got some soft goods so haven't shown yet, but
- 48:46yeah, they're good to go. That's not copyright infringe in
- 48:50Harry Potter in any way. Oh God, unless like unless
- 48:54someone says the word Harry Potter, I have no idea.
- 48:57I. OK, that's the name of the book
- 48:59completely. OK, no order the Phoenix.
- 49:03No, it's not. OK, good.
- 49:08And again, of course, you're not selling it, so you're not
- 49:11breaching anyone's copyright. But yeah, I've picked up a bunch
- 49:15of these as well. They're great to have just as
- 49:20Legion builders or future custom stuff.
- 49:24And Mal, you definitely got one. Yeah, yeah, I bought again the
- 49:28the original was before my time and had absolutely no interest
- 49:31in picking him up, but they knew the new one much better looking
- 49:36at in my opinion. And yeah, to get at least one to
- 49:40display in a couple to play with and may use for customs in the
- 49:45future. He's he's also quite
- 49:47interchangeable with Alto. So the legacies auto figure you
- 49:51could make, you know, you could jazz up this guy with a bit of
- 49:55the auto soft goods and you could make auto more, you know,
- 49:59more armoured and stuff like that.
- 50:03And he's got the this helmet, the visor goes up and you this
- 50:06face plates in and stuff. So yeah, he's next level figure.
- 50:10I was thinking, I think I had two of the original ones, but
- 50:14they both came as part of customs.
- 50:16So sometimes you don't know what the original baseball, yeah, but
- 50:19they're very much, you know, that's a Silver Knight that's
- 50:21been customised up a bit. Got you.
- 50:26Yeah, a Templar Legion builder then.
- 50:27This was a hugely popular figure the whole way through the line
- 50:32so far and has had a bunch of different releases, including
- 50:36the big bad toy store kind of release that had more paint on
- 50:40it. So almost like a Sir Godfrey and
- 50:44so Richard. Lots of those I bought. 20 don't
- 50:48have a big. Big bad toy store.
- 50:50Wow, it's going to say you don't have a big enough spreadsheet
- 50:53for this guy. Yeah.
- 50:54No, with the different versions because obviously they did it
- 50:57without the gold paint and the the reinforcements.
- 51:00Yeah, I was at like 40 at one point.
- 51:02Wow. I'm a big big Templar contingent
- 51:05in my display. But yeah, these classically lend
- 51:08themselves to to legion building.
- 51:10And I think with the, with the, you know, faux cloth look on
- 51:15the, you know, the plastic here, it does look great on the shelf
- 51:21as the kind of army of Templars, you know, now soft goods is kind
- 51:26of the way the Templars have gone with the more, you know,
- 51:29Enoch and Elijah now the the two new ones.
- 51:32I wonder if they're going to do more basic Templar legion
- 51:35builder at some point with soft goods and think that could that
- 51:42could be very good for the cash flow.
- 51:44Yeah. I mean I was when they first did
- 51:46the sort of soft Good Templars. I'm just like, Oh no, mine are
- 51:50going to look rubbish, but actually they look fine
- 51:53together. Yeah, I think so too.
- 51:54Yeah, you just intersperse them in a display and actually they
- 51:57look absolutely fine together and.
- 51:59Especially as, you know, the ones with the soft goods are the
- 52:02really, you know, important kind of character characters you can
- 52:07kind of distinguish. You can really stick them on
- 52:09horses and and then it really doesn't look too bad with the
- 52:15different styles. But yeah, he's a classic figure.
- 52:20I wouldn't be surprised if we maybe get a redo of this this
- 52:24style of template using that new fabric looking tunic and and
- 52:31skirt piece that we get. Oh.
- 52:32Yeah, yeah, the ones the. They know they sell a lot of
- 52:36Templars, don't they? So they'd be mad not to do that.
- 52:41True deluxe night builder. So this came in the covenant of
- 52:47Shadow Wave, I believe, and this was a much thought off, but you
- 52:54know, figure over the years it has basically all the components
- 53:00of the various nights we've seen so far, but done with more
- 53:04detail and paint. And so it looks almost like a
- 53:07main character without a, you know, we just helmeted heads.
- 53:12He's one that I always wanted, but he was just so expensive I
- 53:14couldn't justify it. And now we have a kind of a re
- 53:17release of him with updated stuff so.
- 53:21So I actually managed to get one of him.
- 53:23I did try to sell in the UK group, but nobody wanted it.
- 53:27I got some offers from the US and I don't really want to ship
- 53:29to the US at that point. I'd probably be more inclined
- 53:32today that I was quite new into, you know, getting and I combined
- 53:38him with my Templar builder to build a Templar.
- 53:43I thought, you know, looked good, less so fancy rent and
- 53:46yeah, the red and gold and silver stripes on I guess a bit
- 53:52more close to not Elijah the other one.
- 54:01Enoch. Enoch in terms of the colour
- 54:03scheme and I used that, that helmet, the with the Red Cross
- 54:08and the gold like Eagle Topper as the head for it.
- 54:13And yeah, I'm quite pleased. I guess a bit like, was the
- 54:16Godfrey a bit like that perhaps. But yeah, I like my, I like my
- 54:22Templar for that reason that he's a bit of a mix of
- 54:25characters. Barbarian Warrior So this is the
- 54:33female barbarian, Kevin Advent of Decay.
- 54:38Yeah, it's kind of I think Cassia is is a more more
- 54:44detailed version of this figure. This figure is fine, but I have
- 54:51one I think don't need more. Yeah, I had one that was
- 54:57incomplete that I got as part of a bundle that I moved on quickly
- 55:00because, you know, the rest of the bundle was great.
- 55:02And then there was this abomination of barbarian in that
- 55:05it's like how you go. She's kind of what She's kind of
- 55:08swirly. Boobs are a bit weird though,
- 55:10yeah. She's kind of the evidence that
- 55:12the the new 1.0 female barbarian is the way to go, isn't she?
- 55:18That they look, they look much better with a bit more meat on
- 55:23them for a better way to put it. Cavern Dwarf, the classic.
- 55:28Yeah. Yeah.
- 55:31Yeah, he's had a re release slightly updated this
- 55:36reinforcements too. And he's a lovely bronze colour,
- 55:40not to confuse any. So, umm, yeah, both versions are
- 55:48great. And you know, I think you'd get
- 55:52the more recent head on the new one, and I think that's probably
- 55:57the only big difference. Is it?
- 56:00I think so, yeah. Yeah, another great dwarf to
- 56:03customise so much stuff. I mean, you get compared to the
- 56:07earlier Legion builders, the amount of weapons again, this
- 56:09guy, this was a function of the Kickstarter where they just kept
- 56:12thrown in weapons as as the Kickstarter went along because
- 56:16there's just unlock up to unlock.
- 56:19Yeah, yeah. Across the two versions, I have
- 56:2113 of this guy. Wow.
- 56:23Because customised up in various ways.
- 56:27Yeah, yeah, I have a few, not 13, but maybe 4-5.
- 56:36Well. I've got the one on display and
- 56:39one in the cupboard for potential customers, yeah.
- 56:42Nice elf leading builder. I know I love this, but it's
- 56:49also the bane of my life. They will not stand up.
- 56:52Right. Yeah, OK.
- 56:53It's like they take perverse pleasure in throwing themselves
- 56:56off a off a shelf. As a figure though, he's a great
- 57:01looking figure. Yeah, I really like it as well.
- 57:04I know man doesn't but. This is very turning to Rich.
- 57:07I think it's one of the ugliest figures they've ever horrible.
- 57:12Never had any desire to own it. So again, super value here.
- 57:18Bunch of heads, you know, different skin tones and you got
- 57:23the light skin, the dark skin, and I think there's a helmeted
- 57:27head with the green. Yeah, the whistling colours are
- 57:30just about there on my. And eh, even get the tabard in
- 57:35the green so you know, multiple colours on a legion builder
- 57:38still wasn't common back then so I think it's a good figure, but
- 57:44very hard to get now I'd imagine.
- 57:47Yeah, as much as I've badmouth, I think I'll go by 8.
- 57:52Configuration I have. I have 3 which seems more
- 57:54reasonable. Yeah.
- 57:56And I guess Mal has none, otherwise they call them a.
- 57:59Hippopretor. Yeah, even now, never.
- 58:03Goblin Legion Builder, another one that I'd say is one of the
- 58:07best selling figures they've done, along with the Templar.
- 58:12So many of these out there. And these are the kind of two
- 58:16heads you get with him. And you know, that's the build.
- 58:19It's a bunch of stuff in his package as well.
- 58:21Bunch of weapons, yeah. Sorry, I went down, the mouse
- 58:27bunched up in his package and it's like Richard, oh, sorry,
- 58:34sorry. I missed as well this time.
- 58:39I guess we've all we all have a few of this guy.
- 58:43Yeah, I got 20 plus of this guy. Well, they, what I've used a lot
- 58:48of mine for is the Wolf King Customs Mouse and beats we Oh
- 58:53yeah, take it off at the knee and the elbow and pop the the
- 58:57hands and the feet on. And this is a perfect cheap
- 58:59build for that. So at least half of mine have
- 59:02been used for the sort of really tiny characters using those
- 59:05parts. See, I only actually ever got
- 59:08two. I got one originally.
- 59:10Then it was really hard to get them because they all just sold
- 59:13out. Because I think at the point he
- 59:15came out, the goblins had been not really been given the love
- 59:22for a while, had they? And and tis such an excellent
- 59:26builder. Yeah, he's he's still an
- 59:31awesome, awesome figure for me, even though he's meant to be
- 59:33just like a generic goblin. He's he's yeah, yeah, very, very
- 59:38cool. I wish I'd more.
- 59:41I've got 4 of him though turned into a little Star Wars homage
- 59:44group in my collection which I still haven't shown off for some
- 59:47reason and I think it's probably my favourite group of custom
- 59:49figures so I need to get those rich sorted out.
- 59:52Those that I know, I've got the BIOS written from the BIOS like
- 59:552 1/2 three years ago. So what did they happen?
- 59:59Little creatures from Star Wars or.
- 1:00:01They're not no, I'm not going to say because it's going to spoil
- 1:00:03the surprise. OK.
- 1:00:04They they're the goblin versions of of something you wouldn't
- 1:00:08expect to be, you know, like they start their Star Wars
- 1:00:12characters, but in goblin form. You'd be quite surprised at the
- 1:00:15characters. Wow, OK, cool.
- 1:00:18Yeah, I have a few of these. What they're great for
- 1:00:20customising as well. Again, if you want to do with a
- 1:00:23dry brushing, other metallics or rusted up or you know or just
- 1:00:29paint details on them, you know whether it'll put a wash perfect
- 1:00:34blue Goblin. I'll I'll above just say I love
- 1:00:38that head as well, even though it's getting to be such a
- 1:00:40generic goblin head, it's there's so much character.
- 1:00:43This is a lot of character in the years, Yeah, and I like that
- 1:00:45helmet as well. That also it's the gone head.
- 1:00:48Yeah, it's a really good helmeted head, that one
- 1:00:50actually. Yeah, yeah, right.
- 1:00:52Two of the worst figures in the line.
- 1:00:55Oh, Steel Knight and Iron Knight Legion Builder.
- 1:01:00No, I mean, have them as statues in your diorama.
- 1:01:03As long as you glue them together maybe.
- 1:01:06I think, I think I know the problem with these.
- 1:01:09There's too much detail on the armour and it's just one flat
- 1:01:13colour and that just doesn't work.
- 1:01:16I think that's all that was missing here.
- 1:01:18Maybe you know. Yeah, I certainly do mean it
- 1:01:24doesn't work at all. I mean I bought a few of the
- 1:01:27steel mites 1/2 so I think to umm to do custom high elves.
- 1:01:33So like warhammer style high elves and I hate the biggest so
- 1:01:37much that I just got into them. It's just like, no I'll.
- 1:01:41Find yeah, I got these in the Kickstarter and I was excited to
- 1:01:45get Knights and they just didn't do it for me.
- 1:01:47And then I got the like, like I think Black Knight or something
- 1:01:52shortly after. And then I was like, OK, this is
- 1:01:55a knight, you know, this is what I'm looking for.
- 1:01:59So yeah. But this, for example, is much
- 1:02:04better. The Night Builder pack from the
- 1:02:07same wave and the same build. It just has more detail on the
- 1:02:12paint. Obviously is not a Legion
- 1:02:15builder price, it's a deluxe price.
- 1:02:17But this is good. I like this figure.
- 1:02:21It's great. I mean, the yellow and blue
- 1:02:22combo is really well done. And that field, you know, the
- 1:02:26blue and white chequered on the shield, that's super brilliant.
- 1:02:29Yeah, really good. Do you have this one now?
- 1:02:34No. No, no, she's one that I again,
- 1:02:38before my time, but actually wouldn't have minded picking her
- 1:02:41up because, like you say, there's a lot you could do with
- 1:02:44her and even like the not cloth chestplate has got a cool.
- 1:02:50The colours are very cool, sort of a, I can't think what the
- 1:02:57colour is, but it is a, it's a greeny blue.
- 1:02:59Isn't it a highlight on it? Yeah, yeah, she's very cool.
- 1:03:03And because she's a 2.0 build, she works really well on Lord of
- 1:03:07the Rings toy bus horses. Gale wise they work perfectly.
- 1:03:11So I got 1 and it's it's a on top of a Lord of the Rings horse
- 1:03:16and it works brilliant as a combination.
- 1:03:19Yeah, this is this is a figure that they, if they could update
- 1:03:22and re release, you know, with some new parts and I think it
- 1:03:26would do well. You know, female orc legion
- 1:03:30builder. It's OK, Yeah, it's fine for
- 1:03:37what it is, but there's a better version which we'll come to that
- 1:03:40came with the Deluxe Skeleton Soldier.
- 1:03:45This is a lot of people's favourite skeleton builder.
- 1:03:48This is one of the best figures skeleton wise in the line.
- 1:03:52It's it's really good. It's there's so many cool parts
- 1:03:55and I think it was the first one to come with the skeleton feet.
- 1:03:58This and more glyphs were at the same time weren't there, and it
- 1:04:01was just like, oh, the skeletal feet.
- 1:04:02That's really cool. Yeah.
- 1:04:05Became the female torso, the male torso.
- 1:04:07There's loads of options with this one.
- 1:04:09I like this one too because of the rusty armour too, a lot of
- 1:04:13detail and that that weird ponytail that sticks at the back
- 1:04:20and again it's just it is a little bit too fragile of the
- 1:04:24figures to any problem. Yes.
- 1:04:27But yeah, Miles shaking his head.
- 1:04:29He's nothing good to say here, Yeah.
- 1:04:31Not my bag again before the time, but not one I ever
- 1:04:34bothered trying to search after either.
- 1:04:36But I, you know, looking at it now, maybe if they didn't re
- 1:04:40release I'd be tempted. I think it's lots of
- 1:04:44possibilities there, just with two torsos and, you know, yeah.
- 1:04:51Yeah, there's loads of parts and as John said, the sort of
- 1:04:53weathered look in the wash and on it is really good as.
- 1:04:57Well, vampire legion builder assume you have a few of these
- 1:05:00rich. I've got one.
- 1:05:02Oh, I don't like it. I think it's because they're the
- 1:05:06whole ankles and falling over and that sort of stuff.
- 1:05:08So I've got one because it's a vampire.
- 1:05:11I think I might have had two at one point, but it's it doesn't
- 1:05:15do enough for me. So it's basically the female 2.0
- 1:05:20kind of night build. It's the build to glass back,
- 1:05:22yeah. And a couple of different heads.
- 1:05:25Vampire head obviously here. I think you get that on the Eva
- 1:05:32Lynn tribute. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:05:37And a helmet which is I think the elf helmet painted vampire
- 1:05:43so. Which I think is the other thing
- 1:05:45of the page you get of Melina as well.
- 1:05:47I know whatever she's called, yeah.
- 1:05:48That's true. Black knight legion builder cool
- 1:05:53one. Very.
- 1:05:53Nice. Yeah.
- 1:05:57Tricky to paint though, because of the glass.
- 1:05:59I mean, it can be, yeah, but paint doesn't stick to it.
- 1:06:02You have to read it to the prime measure.
- 1:06:05Put a clear. I've got some.
- 1:06:07A weird love hate relationship with this one.
- 1:06:09So I bought quite a few when they had the reinforcements sale
- 1:06:14and then I got them in hand and it was like oh it's too shiny I
- 1:06:17can't be. So I got rid of most of them.
- 1:06:19But then they did virtually the same paint job on the vampire
- 1:06:21phalanx and my kids vampire, I've got like 10 of them so.
- 1:06:27Yeah, I would have loved if this was more matte black.
- 1:06:29Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, but cool one as well.
- 1:06:35Yeah. Great little legion builder.
- 1:06:37This is a Colosseum orc. So this is the more the naked
- 1:06:40torso orc. He's cool as well.
- 1:06:45I like him. It has a bit of shading on the
- 1:06:48body and. And you, I think there's a bit
- 1:06:54more detail on the armour and stuff and and on the weapons.
- 1:06:59He's probably my favourite of the original Orcs.
- 1:07:05The builders anyway. Yeah, I agree with that.
- 1:07:08I don't have any of them, but I think he's the best of the.
- 1:07:10Original ones? As soon as I got one of these,
- 1:07:13what was the first thing I did? Oh no, it wasn't him, it was the
- 1:07:16original 1. So reinforceable.
- 1:07:18I did a an uncan pretty much have all the parts there.
- 1:07:26Yeah. Fury York, brilliant figure.
- 1:07:32Love it. Very, Yeah, really cool figure.
- 1:07:35This was like this wasn't this was slightly in between regular
- 1:07:39and Legion builder price? I think it was like $28.00 and
- 1:07:42there's just much more paint detail and depth on it.
- 1:07:45And obviously the red. I love the red works, they're
- 1:07:47cool. It's just a great figure.
- 1:07:50Then you get the 2 heads, you get the on helmeted and helmeted
- 1:07:54head, and that spear is one of my favourite weapons for the
- 1:07:57orcs. I love that spear.
- 1:07:59It's so cool. I mean the spear length, but
- 1:08:02then the the blade coming out from this as well.
- 1:08:04Yeah, it's great. Yes, I have a bunch of these you
- 1:08:07guys. Just the 1 for me.
- 1:08:11I think I got 4-4 or five custom.
- 1:08:14I don't got any displayed like that.
- 1:08:16They were gone, right. Some more heads on OK, one of
- 1:08:19them is a fat boy got big fat guts on him and that sort of
- 1:08:22stuff so of. Course he has.
- 1:08:24He was at the Pies. Exactly, Yeah.
- 1:08:28Ogre Legion builder and to be honest for me with this armour
- 1:08:34it looks unfinished because it's it's got too much detail to to
- 1:08:42not be painted a bit more. Even a dry brush somehow.
- 1:08:47In some way. Actually the one the original 1
- 1:08:49on the left. Yeah, yeah, In some ways he kind
- 1:08:53of, because the arm has got so little done to it feels like a
- 1:08:57really ideal one. Just getting back to what we've
- 1:08:59talked about of the RPG and creator character, he actually
- 1:09:04in some ways feels like he's he's ideal for that situation.
- 1:09:08Oh, it's great for custom base. Yeah, for sure.
- 1:09:10But I do agree with you, yeah. Like the bones hanging off the
- 1:09:13belt, it just looks weird that they didn't even just throw a
- 1:09:17bit of white and there's something, you know?
- 1:09:21It came out the same time as the Kurzok, didn't it?
- 1:09:25So yeah, they painted Kurzok up and then just had the unpainted
- 1:09:28version as this guy. But they could have done maybe
- 1:09:31two more paint hits on this armour.
- 1:09:34OK, might have cost an extra few cents but I think it would have
- 1:09:40brought him over the top and then they released him and is
- 1:09:43exactly the same. But and I got one I was like I
- 1:09:46only got it for the head and I was like why did I get this?
- 1:09:50Why did I get this? Because now I have to paint the
- 1:09:52armour if I want to display it, because I'm not displaying it
- 1:09:55like this. Yeah, yeah, I have two of the
- 1:10:00original 1, although one I took the arms off and had them
- 1:10:03repainted up as in red or a Fury type character.
- 1:10:07So I got an armless ogre and it's like what we're going to do
- 1:10:11with this guy? I'll find these from sometime.
- 1:10:18Anything in these for you, Mel? No.
- 1:10:20I got one of the second release where he came with the yeah,
- 1:10:24because it's that the curzo. No, that he came with the Yeah,
- 1:10:30and then Rich. Argomedes and then I think it
- 1:10:34was. Rich, you very kindly gave me a
- 1:10:36curzo head, so I think I've stuck on him.
- 1:10:38Yes. So yeah.
- 1:10:40I'd like to be generous but it didn't cost me anything so happy
- 1:10:44to pass it on. Right here's the the deluxe.
- 1:10:53So the Mythic Legions tactics figures, so these are called
- 1:10:57legion builders, but they're very much deluxe legion builders
- 1:11:01and they're great figures. And yeah, I was going to say,
- 1:11:03these figures are perfect for creative character kind of
- 1:11:06things, aren't they? Yeah.
- 1:11:08Yeah, so you got the female elf here, you got the female orcs.
- 1:11:13You can see they're just with the extra paint details.
- 1:11:18It obviously on helmeted head, but you get the helmeted head in
- 1:11:22the pack looks much better. You got the the male elf.
- 1:11:27I mean that's a great looking figure.
- 1:11:29Yeah and I like all the the different tones on the armour
- 1:11:33really cool. And the deluxe male orc, which I
- 1:11:36think is probably one of their best orcs, Yeah, of the green
- 1:11:41variety at least. Yeah.
- 1:11:43And I love this head here with the face paint.
- 1:11:45It's really cool. The Voortalk head I think.
- 1:11:51You'll be astounded to hear I didn't buy any of these.
- 1:11:54No. No, it's just the price point.
- 1:11:56It was just like, no, I don't want to spend that much on
- 1:11:58generic builders. Now for a game, it's as Miles,
- 1:12:02it's perfect. You can do all sorts of stuff.
- 1:12:04There's some different bits that come with it and that sort of
- 1:12:06stuff, but now I don't have a single one of any of them.
- 1:12:09Right, Yeah, I can understand they're not, you know, great
- 1:12:16value if you're going to customise all the parts.
- 1:12:18But if you're going to, you know, use all the parts for pop
- 1:12:22and swaps in your own collection, then they're good
- 1:12:25value. And you can create multiple
- 1:12:27different versions of characters from here.
- 1:12:29But these are long gone in terms of if you're coming into the
- 1:12:33line. So yeah, probably not the best
- 1:12:36entry point for RPG people. I will.
- 1:12:39I will say I I got two of the orcs, I didn't get either of the
- 1:12:42elves, and I kind of regret not getting the elves, but my my
- 1:12:47female orcas ended up as a cosmic legions character
- 1:12:49inspired by Bill Curtis Ackerman did, right?
- 1:12:58And then there was this deluxe Legion builders wave, which kind
- 1:13:03of came out of COVID, You know, it was just after kind of the
- 1:13:07COVID time and when we really didn't have Legion builders for
- 1:13:12ages. So they decided to do something
- 1:13:14different, which was make them deluxe, which was $26 I think,
- 1:13:19instead of 24. And a bit more detail and a bit
- 1:13:23more accessories. But mainly it was new heads that
- 1:13:27you were paying for here and at this wave was very popular at
- 1:13:34the time, but subsequently has kind of been a bit peg warmly,
- 1:13:37would you say, in that they've hung.
- 1:13:40I'd say this is probably the wave that's the most peg
- 1:13:42warmers. Yeah.
- 1:13:45Like whenever you see them. Sorry, sorry.
- 1:13:48My like you can say whenever you see any of these for sale, like,
- 1:13:51you know, the barbarian, for instance, is less than retail.
- 1:13:54Usually when they're going, it's like people to just to get rid
- 1:13:57of them. Yeah, if we had Matt Drake here,
- 1:13:59he'd be telling us these all so. She would.
- 1:14:01This is the low. Retail on eBay, Yeah, yeah.
- 1:14:04See, I I don't mind and it's worked out quite well for me
- 1:14:08that the barbarian and the gladiator has just sort of put
- 1:14:13them peg warmer because I've I've ended up buying a couple of
- 1:14:16them after, well, a few of them. These are.
- 1:14:17Great for customs. They are perfect, yeah.
- 1:14:21Buy them for that reason, but they're they're not great for, I
- 1:14:25don't know, army building your characters for some reason.
- 1:14:28I don't know why Dark Templar, maybe he's the most army
- 1:14:36building of them because it kind of works.
- 1:14:39I am 8 of this dude because I've got a little dark Templar group.
- 1:14:43So yeah, they're all based around him.
- 1:14:46Yeah, the. Deluxe Dwarf is, you know, it's
- 1:14:48got the heavily armoured torso, so great for customs again.
- 1:14:53But this is a very flat. It's almost a grey, not a
- 1:14:57silver. But yeah.
- 1:15:00There isn't enough metallic in in a lot of these and we.
- 1:15:03Can just give it a dry brush and it comes up and look in real
- 1:15:06yeah yeah of. You gladiator.
- 1:15:11This is my favourite of them. Yeah.
- 1:15:13This was the Blue Comp controversy.
- 1:15:17Let's. Get past that.
- 1:15:18I started this. Let's just get past that.
- 1:15:21And he's bringing up again John. Yeah, I love the helmet, the
- 1:15:26mismatch to just the single polder which you have
- 1:15:28subsequently got the matching one on I think Scally bone
- 1:15:32splitter and then the Gladiator armoury this year.
- 1:15:36So yeah. And the deluxe called Goblin
- 1:15:40which is basically a dwarf build with a goblin head.
- 1:15:45Yeah, this is a bit strange on this one.
- 1:15:46Yeah, this is basically another dwarf.
- 1:15:48It's like. Because we had a dwarf in the
- 1:15:50wave, the goblin people didn't feel like they got enough goblin
- 1:15:56for their money. I.
- 1:15:58Mean the head's great. The head.
- 1:15:59Is great. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:16:02And this head had appeared in this Nate the Nate Birch art I
- 1:16:06think beforehand at the site on the side of a box, this and
- 1:16:10maybe one or two of the others. So these heads had existed
- 1:16:13before. I think they had already told
- 1:16:15them. So Nate was allowed to tease
- 1:16:18them in that way kind of through the art without anyone saying
- 1:16:22anything, you know. But yeah, this is a cool,
- 1:16:25heavily armoured goblin. But yeah, if you're looking for
- 1:16:30which, which was wasn't really available at this point when
- 1:16:32these were released to the kind of thin goblin body, then yeah,
- 1:16:37you weren't getting it here. But great.
- 1:16:41Like the I'd say Dwarf bat fans bought this more than Goblin
- 1:16:44fans. And it's a it's a great base for
- 1:16:49customers again, Yeah, it's the dark armour.
- 1:16:51So you can just a wash or a dry brush, dry brush in particular
- 1:16:55over it. We'll bring it out.
- 1:16:56And it's. Yeah.
- 1:16:57But yeah, the Dwarf fans bought multiple of these for customs
- 1:17:00and the government guys probably bought one for their collection,
- 1:17:02you know? Yeah, yeah, that's how it worked
- 1:17:04out with this figure Deluxe skeleton, kind of a an update of
- 1:17:12the original Skeleton Legion builder.
- 1:17:15And I didn't like the bone colour on this one.
- 1:17:18That was my problem. It was very, very tricky.
- 1:17:22It was a very weird, like it wasn't kind of dirty enough.
- 1:17:27It was just this flat kind of. And it almost had a very clean
- 1:17:31wash over the white yes, it wasn't a glow, but it almost had
- 1:17:34that sort of effect to it Yeah, it just didn't didn't quite work
- 1:17:38when that again the heads great is a new head.
- 1:17:40It looks awesome but the bone colour was weird.
- 1:17:43And the bone colour doesn't really match any other bone
- 1:17:46colour in the line. It doesn't, no So.
- 1:17:49I think I've got a couple of these just purely because like
- 1:17:51one for displaying as it is, yeah, because it's a cool
- 1:17:54scally, and then one because I had a head painted up that
- 1:17:57actually turned out to be a similar colour bone to this.
- 1:17:59So actually it works really well with the race.
- 1:18:03I got 1 and that's all I needed and he's fine.
- 1:18:11Deluxe half giant so. This boy I've got a lot of.
- 1:18:15Yeah, because you get the note. You can get the noble bar
- 1:18:18charmer for going on top as well, or.
- 1:18:22Into one of the best figures in the line.
- 1:18:24Yeah. Yeah, I've got a subgroup of
- 1:18:28ogres too. So, so I have 15 of this guy.
- 1:18:34Wow. All customised.
- 1:18:36None of them are in the original will be customised right?
- 1:18:39And then them will be in their original form.
- 1:18:44Amazing, right? Then we went on to, was it
- 1:18:50reinforcements too? And we, yeah, had some new
- 1:18:54figures, Shadow or Grunt. So we'd only had Gore talk to
- 1:18:58this stage in the Shadow Walk ranks.
- 1:19:01And then we got this guy and this is a really cool figure.
- 1:19:05I really love him, you know? You can stick a different head
- 1:19:11on him and make him a totally different character, you know?
- 1:19:16I've done that on about 3 or 4 of mine.
- 1:19:18I think Blaze Bear painted up some really cool shadow walk
- 1:19:21heads. So yeah, just simple head swap
- 1:19:23and you got a really cool unique character.
- 1:19:26Yeah, and this armour is actually blue.
- 1:19:32Every time you say that, Rich just like puts himself on mute.
- 1:19:38She's like PTSD over that deluxe gladiator again.
- 1:19:41It's like, Oh my God, right? And I think I remember this was
- 1:19:48the one that Curtis and Jesse revealed, he says.
- 1:19:52Who was? Yeah.
- 1:19:53I really like the head on him, I think, well, the head with those
- 1:19:56horns and and it was slightly new style of head, wasn't it at
- 1:20:00the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:20:03It's a really good figure then, and you can use the armour just
- 1:20:06to make other characters a bit different.
- 1:20:07If you like building a RPG character or something, you know
- 1:20:11so the armour is blue so you can take it and use it as some cloth
- 1:20:13pieces or something and you can actually come up with quite a
- 1:20:16unique character. Yeah, Templar Relic Curd will
- 1:20:24tell us all about this one, Rich.
- 1:20:26We should, sorry, we should just add with the shadow walk still
- 1:20:29available on store Horseman as well.
- 1:20:32There you go. So there's one for you.
- 1:20:34Stores. How much is he 262525?
- 1:20:38Wow, bargain. Yeah, definitely worth a pun,
- 1:20:42yeah. Sample erotic guard is awesome
- 1:20:46despite Jeremy's sneaky marketing tactics of saying they
- 1:20:49were a group of 12, I have more than 12, but not because of that
- 1:20:52reason. They formed the basis of my K9
- 1:20:56companies, my dog customs, just a really good cheap builder
- 1:21:02base. And if you do put like a soft
- 1:21:04good tunic or something over it, it doesn't matter what the
- 1:21:06obviously the torso is, you can get away with covering.
- 1:21:09That so and the lower says you should have 12, so that's also a
- 1:21:15problem. Yeah, I've got more than 12.
- 1:21:18Where's my spreadsheet? I have.
- 1:21:21Oh good, I have 21. Oh, that's very, very, very,
- 1:21:27very restrained of you. Yeah, four of which a Templar
- 1:21:30relic guards. I've got a little group of
- 1:21:31Templar relic guards and then the others are all put aside to
- 1:21:34do a nine company members. I saw the first sculpt today of
- 1:21:42this year's batch. Rich, OH.
- 1:21:44I love it. John Lucas the Magnificent, Oh
- 1:21:47my God, he's done an amazing job with the first dog this year.
- 1:21:50It's so good. I love it.
- 1:21:53And we'll go with a bunch of these Legion builder bodies,
- 1:21:57yeah. Absolutely.
- 1:21:59Vampire Phalanx. Great.
- 1:22:00Vampire 10 out of 10. Yeah, great.
- 1:22:04The head in that helmet just looks expensive squished in
- 1:22:07there. And he's angry.
- 1:22:09Yeah, in fact he comes with a second head as well, so you can
- 1:22:12have the full armoured look if you want it as well.
- 1:22:15And, and it's where the glass black works really, really well.
- 1:22:18I mean, I don't mind on the night builder either, but it
- 1:22:21does work really really well on a vampire.
- 1:22:23It works better on this, I think, than the night, probably
- 1:22:26because just because it's a vampire, the just word vampire.
- 1:22:29Also, I love it because it's a phalanx.
- 1:22:31And having stood ancient history at university, the phalanx was
- 1:22:34the, you know, the formation introduced by Macedonians, which
- 1:22:37I wrote my dissertation on Alexander the Great.
- 1:22:39So that's a connection for me as well.
- 1:22:41I like it just because. Sweet.
- 1:22:45Yeah, it kind of looks like if you cross the Targaryen with a
- 1:22:48vampire, doesn't it? You know.
- 1:22:50Yes, very much. So skeleton legion, sorry and so
- 1:23:03naked skeleton we finally got. We had the pretty much we had
- 1:23:08this body in the nick anonymous wave, obviously not arrived yet,
- 1:23:11but we had pre or all pre-ordered Maxillus and then
- 1:23:16this got dropped as an in stock and that was fun.
- 1:23:23And yeah, I mean, this is the ultimate skeleton figure.
- 1:23:27Yeah. Yeah, just got a skeleton.
- 1:23:29Perfect. All sorts.
- 1:23:32Yeah, yeah. And you get.
- 1:23:34If you want the. Sword and the spear.
- 1:23:36Yeah, if you want a group of skeletons at this point to like
- 1:23:41attack your RPG heroes, this is a group.
- 1:23:43Obviously Now we've got a Skeleton Raider, which is
- 1:23:46probably a slightly better version.
- 1:23:47But yeah, great figure. I don't know though, I think I
- 1:23:52think the whole sort of best skeleton because it's got, and
- 1:23:54we've said this many times before, it's got that
- 1:23:57Harryhausen vibe to them. Perfect again for hordes.
- 1:24:03Attacking Jason and the Argonauts.
- 1:24:05Isn't it? Yeah, you could get the
- 1:24:09graveyard skeletons quite easily still, OK, They've got a great
- 1:24:12tint to them, they still look great, and they're very good for
- 1:24:17customs. Again, like you know, depending
- 1:24:19what you want to do. And OK, the bones might be
- 1:24:22thicker than you might expect on actual real skeletons.
- 1:24:26So it's fantasy, it works, it's so cool and it also adds to the
- 1:24:31stability factor, which is never a bad thing, right.
- 1:24:37This is the one we're going to finish on.
- 1:24:39I do have a bunch more of the kind of into more deluxe figures
- 1:24:47that can be legion figures builders that aren't, but I
- 1:24:50think we would take so long to go through them.
- 1:24:52We can go through them next week maybe if we don't have anything
- 1:24:56else and we can pick a few more the Blue Shield.
- 1:24:59So this is the Knight Legion Builder three, basically.
- 1:25:03Or, you know, update on the original night.
- 1:25:07Legion Builder said the female night being Legion Builder is
- 1:25:10Night Builder 2, and this one is third.
- 1:25:13So you get all the lovely new night parts.
- 1:25:17Yeah, look at it. It's just night heaven.
- 1:25:20Queon must pass out every time he sees this picture.
- 1:25:25And Joe Russo. I mean, if there wasn't a figure
- 1:25:28named after Joe Russo on this wave, I think he would have just
- 1:25:31named this after himself. And this, this is possibly the
- 1:25:36one that people new to it coming through the RPG maybe look at
- 1:25:43picking up. There's so much they could do
- 1:25:45with it and they could. It's a brilliant base for
- 1:25:48creating your own character as well, isn't it really?
- 1:25:50If if you're going with a heavily armoured character,
- 1:25:53let's say. Some sorry reason I only proved
- 1:25:57that one of these, which in hindsight you'll punch yourself
- 1:26:00in the face. It's just like, what are you
- 1:26:02doing? So hopefully some recesses will
- 1:26:04happen. Unless they've ordered a lot of
- 1:26:06extras. Yeah, I don't think has me
- 1:26:10worried, damn it. See, I still only need the one
- 1:26:14because it's essentially having said what I've said, talking
- 1:26:17personally, it is a night and I'll probably stick the soft
- 1:26:21goods on him because that makes them a little better for me.
- 1:26:23So yeah. I think, I think deep down I'm
- 1:26:25hoping that the wave arrives with Horsemen about a month
- 1:26:27before Legions console. They've got all the orders
- 1:26:30shipped out and then it's like and you can buy it.
- 1:26:31Allegiance Carnival, I think. I think this is the one that
- 1:26:35matches the Silver Knight region builder, the one we.
- 1:26:38Think so? Yeah, I think.
- 1:26:39So if you have a bunch of them, I think you can use all the
- 1:26:42extra parts with this to create a few nights.
- 1:26:45And then maybe if you want to go night crazy, you have more of
- 1:26:48those silver nights and you maybe buy one more of these and
- 1:26:53then you have a lot of options. Yeah, yeah, definitely.
- 1:26:58And nice thing here you get the plastic cloth goods and also the
- 1:27:03cloth cloth goods. So that kind of is a crowd
- 1:27:07pleaser in that regard too. So yeah, happy days.
- 1:27:12So that's that's the real Legion builders, Legion builders, the
- 1:27:19kind of classic flavour of them. So that's a what you've missed
- 1:27:25if you've just if you're just join in the party.
- 1:27:27But it's what's kind of gone over the years.
- 1:27:30It's what a lot of people's customs have been based on,
- 1:27:34including a lot of viewers. Richard, we're going to go
- 1:27:37through a couple here that you have.
- 1:27:39Yeah, I just put a very, very brief slide packed together,
- 1:27:42just sort of sort of things you can do really people have
- 1:27:43debating getting them. So here we have.
- 1:27:46This is before Forsman introduced the minions and
- 1:27:49snakes into it as a snake man Templar.
- 1:27:54I think it's a it's a cast of a Moti classics head, I think.
- 1:28:00Yeah, and some bird, bird claws and a Templar build, and it
- 1:28:03looks really cool. Actually does, yeah.
- 1:28:09Despite me disliking the Black Knights, I have used one to to
- 1:28:13make a werewolf warrior. Looks cool, I like that a lot.
- 1:28:19Yeah, it's using a Stan Minston Blood Wolves or something like
- 1:28:25that. The line was called and there
- 1:28:27was a character called Sir Veriticus, or Veriticus I think
- 1:28:30it was with a really cool werewolf helmet head.
- 1:28:33So it fits perfectly with a bit of drilling once allegiance
- 1:28:36body. And did you use one of the did
- 1:28:39you use one of the vampires like Carpatheus or something?
- 1:28:42He's pauldrons here or what? Aldrin's a different colour.
- 1:28:44It was either Carpatheus or it must have been Carpatheus.
- 1:28:48Yeah, because Baron Bolligers are the spiky ones, aren't they?
- 1:28:50Yeah. So it must have been Carpatheus.
- 1:28:51Yeah. Just to just to give a little
- 1:28:53bit. I wanted to go the black and red
- 1:28:55route, but I also wanted just that little bit of purple just
- 1:28:58to show that it's part of it's part of my lift is brood.
- 1:29:01So yeah, just that little hint there.
- 1:29:04Something else you just sort of touched on there.
- 1:29:06Rich as well. Of course, if people are wanting
- 1:29:08to build their own characters for for whatever for the RPG,
- 1:29:13look at other lines. Macfarlane's pretty good.
- 1:29:18Anything, everything, you know, but a dread bit adrenaline on a
- 1:29:22head. Yeah, as long as you don't too,
- 1:29:23too much. Bit of blue and it'll stick on
- 1:29:26the top, won't it? MacFarlane scales really well
- 1:29:28actually. There's still 7 inches to scales
- 1:29:30brilliantly. But yeah, some of the older
- 1:29:31lines like this, like you know, Sam Winston stuff, it actually
- 1:29:35some of it works really well. I got one of his big cat line as
- 1:29:38well. I've got one of the heads from
- 1:29:39that on a different figure that works really, really well.
- 1:29:43And something I think people sometimes overlook is you could
- 1:29:46buy if you see a really cool statue you like, obviously when
- 1:29:49you're going to tear it apart and RIP it up and dribble it
- 1:29:53out, you don't want to be spending too much.
- 1:29:55But why not, you know, cut heads off, Dremel them out.
- 1:29:59Cut gauntlets off, Dremel them out, slide them over wrists.
- 1:30:03There's. Yeah, lots of things you do.
- 1:30:04Yeah. I mean, I included this one
- 1:30:06just, you know, people see, it's just it's basically a black
- 1:30:09knight with a, you know, a head from a different figure, a
- 1:30:12pauldron from Carpathius and a loincloth from somebody else.
- 1:30:16I can't remember who off the top of my head, but it just, you
- 1:30:19know, it's not much of A change, but it just it, you know,
- 1:30:22completely makes the Legion builder look really cool as a
- 1:30:24new character. Definitely Calvin Dwarf.
- 1:30:30So the one on the left is a big, fat dwarf, big carry dwarf with
- 1:30:36some Wolverine claws there. So there's a new torso, a new
- 1:30:39head and the claws are custom. But again, you know, you can
- 1:30:44just take a plain unpainted build and it actually works
- 1:30:49really well if you add some painted stuff to it.
- 1:30:51Then even if you don't paint yourself, obviously get the
- 1:30:52people to paint like me, you can get the people to paint things
- 1:30:56for you and they show really well.
- 1:30:58And then the right hand side, I haven't shown this before,
- 1:31:00actually before this one. And I am ironically going to
- 1:31:03touch up the armour a little bit because I don't, it doesn't
- 1:31:05quite do what I want it to do here.
- 1:31:07But again, a cabin dwarf with the links torso and head on it.
- 1:31:13You know, again, it's it's really, really simple stuff that
- 1:31:18you just swap a couple of parts using a very cheap Legion
- 1:31:21builder. So that offsets the cost of
- 1:31:23getting the 3D part and someone to paint it.
- 1:31:26And then you've got a cool new character.
- 1:31:29Very cool. Yeah, I love that links.
- 1:31:32Yeah, there's two or three ones I've not shown before in this
- 1:31:35set, Goblin Legion Builder and a thump body as well.
- 1:31:39Thumps. Another one that is fairly
- 1:31:41generic, so you could use that. A couple of I think sea goblins,
- 1:31:45I called them sort of thing here.
- 1:31:46So again, painted head and feet on the one on the front blue
- 1:31:49goblin just gives it that really cool look.
- 1:31:52And then a mostly classics head on the back on a thump.
- 1:31:55And again, you've got a completely different character
- 1:31:56there straightaway. Hell of the blue.
- 1:32:00It's great. And again, you see the weathered
- 1:32:04up, kind of slightly more weathered up carbon Legion
- 1:32:07builder looks great. Yeah, Bronze Dwarf.
- 1:32:14So this is I think the only figure that I actually painted
- 1:32:16myself. I need to do.
- 1:32:18I've painted little bits and bobs on stuff.
- 1:32:19But this is, you know, so this is a bronze Dwarf builder.
- 1:32:24I say painted. I think I actually used a
- 1:32:25Sharpie pen it. Looks like.
- 1:32:28Yeah. Which took about a month to dry.
- 1:32:32Seriously, it's it just took forever.
- 1:32:35Yeah, they're not. They're not recommended.
- 1:32:37They're not designed for it, no, but it looks really good.
- 1:32:39So you've got the base black and then it's got the bronze and the
- 1:32:42and the silver on there as well sort of thing.
- 1:32:44And then again, you know, horribly twisted and deformed
- 1:32:47torso and two heads there for my little abomination creature.
- 1:32:52But again, you know, it's, it is at the end of the day, it is
- 1:32:54just a basic builder that you can Chuck a sharpie on or a time
- 1:32:58get paint and you've got something different there.
- 1:33:04Another one I haven't shown before.
- 1:33:06This is my Vampire Dragon Kin. I went with the Phalanx because
- 1:33:10I wanted something really basic with this to show off the head.
- 1:33:14Jack Mitchell painted the head up.
- 1:33:16It's absolutely phenomenal. So I just wanted a really basic
- 1:33:21plain body to go with it, just to make the head really stand
- 1:33:25out. I mean, again, that's what you
- 1:33:27can do. You know, if you're Legions Con
- 1:33:28or even if you buy enough eBay or anything like that, there's
- 1:33:30some marvellous painted stuff out there and some people turn
- 1:33:34their noses up. But just swapping ahead, putting
- 1:33:36a new head onto a figure, I don't, I think it works really
- 1:33:39well. Yeah.
- 1:33:40Particularly if you're really, really happy with the head like
- 1:33:43this one, put it on something fairly basic.
- 1:33:45Just show off that paint job. Yeah, I mean, anytime I paint,
- 1:33:50you know, just painting heads, I'll always stick them on the
- 1:33:53body to take a photo just to see what they look like.
- 1:33:56Mightn't be the end body would intend people to use it with or
- 1:34:00that I would use it myself with, but at least to chose if it
- 1:34:04works with a generic body. Good start and.
- 1:34:08I've been written the bio for this guy.
- 1:34:09I'll be probably put on the cabal soon.
- 1:34:12I'm very happy with it. Cool, can't wait for that right.
- 1:34:15These last two, we haven't spoken about the base figures
- 1:34:17yet, but these are the ones that we will speak to.
- 1:34:20But next time in terms of the base figures, but you can talk
- 1:34:23you. Don't talk about Journal and
- 1:34:24John if you don't want to. No, no, no.
- 1:34:26It's. Good because this looks.
- 1:34:28This is these they're they're great.
- 1:34:30So I want to show you. But so this is a swig swig base
- 1:34:33body again. You can still get him on the
- 1:34:35horse, but I'm sure because they ordered and they said 1000, I
- 1:34:38imagine it's like 2.4 million or something, the amount they've
- 1:34:41sold and it's still on the Horseman website.
- 1:34:45Yeah, but it's a really good figure.
- 1:34:47It comes with, I know you don't like it John, but it comes with
- 1:34:49the bright purple line clothes which can be used brothers stuff
- 1:34:52and and this one I've done as a form.
- 1:34:54So it's got planetary dog toys, young Krampus head painted up as
- 1:34:59a form, couple of human hands from hands pack and some Malafar
- 1:35:03hooves. So the little 2.0 hooves and
- 1:35:06you've got a cool form character there.
- 1:35:09Again, not much, but it's mainly part swapping with a cool head
- 1:35:13and you've got a brand new cool figure there.
- 1:35:16No, I love this figure. It's amazing.
- 1:35:19That's really cool. And finally and finally, some of
- 1:35:25your work, John. So this is Silver Horn Sentry
- 1:35:29base body used as a tree man figure.
- 1:35:31So John didn't paint the head. That was Paul's customs, Paul
- 1:35:35Girardo that that did that. But John did a wonderful job
- 1:35:38painting the hands and the feet, which are all the legions shop.
- 1:35:43So they might have been Wolfgang customers now, those Bruce long
- 1:35:45extended fingers and feet and that sort of stuff.
- 1:35:48And again, it's a fairly simple part swap, but I love it.
- 1:35:52It just, you know, you've Silverhorn.
- 1:35:54Sentry's got obviously more paint on it than the standard
- 1:35:57Legion builder, but you can just elevate it with just a couple of
- 1:36:00different parts on it. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:36:04Yeah, that's, I think that's the ideal thing to do with the, you
- 1:36:08know, one of these kind of more base figures or generic type
- 1:36:12characters is the thing we move on to where, you know, they're
- 1:36:16not really a named character with specific, you know, details
- 1:36:21that set them out. Like if you think of Gideon, his
- 1:36:24pauldron is very specific to him, you know, yes, that kind of
- 1:36:28stuff. But yeah, this works great.
- 1:36:30And especially then the extra thing of putting the hands and
- 1:36:32the feet to make it really, you know, you could leave the boots
- 1:36:35and the hands on here and would still work with just the head,
- 1:36:39but. You could, yeah, but just the
- 1:36:41actual little bit just gives it. Just yeah, puts it over the top,
- 1:36:44doesn't it? Absolutely.
- 1:36:45But I've got a couple of Silver Horn sentries, just with
- 1:36:47different heads on and they go through it really well.
- 1:36:49They work too, yeah. It's, you know, the unhelmeted
- 1:36:52heads that just give it that really cool, different look.
- 1:36:55Yeah, absolutely. Right.
- 1:36:57So here we go for another week then and another week of the
- 1:37:04RPG. So if you haven't backed it
- 1:37:06stick in your your bed, you know, you can always, you can
- 1:37:09always adjust to change it. You know, things crop up.
- 1:37:14Obviously you might need to reduce it or somebody could give
- 1:37:19you money for your birthday and you can increase it.
- 1:37:21It's even better we're we're slowly creeping on YouTube up to
- 1:37:27the 500 subscriber mark. So a bit to go, but we're in the
- 1:37:32four hundredths. So, you know, get subscribed.
- 1:37:35If you listen to us, we'll do a giveaway of a figure.
- 1:37:38I have a paladin. We could give away a paladin for
- 1:37:41500, especially if we get there for the RPG live stream on the
- 1:37:454th of April. They give it away.
- 1:37:49So there you go, and that's the price, you know, probably
- 1:37:56valuable now, the Paladin getting less valuable as we get
- 1:37:59closer to the delivery of the OPG.
- 1:38:01So, you know, but still rare. Excellent figure.
- 1:38:05A figure. And an excellent figure, yeah.
- 1:38:07When you can have it on your display and marble at it for a
- 1:38:10few months before the the next one comes out.
- 1:38:15Exactly. And so there, there you go.
- 1:38:17Thanks again guys and Legion builders, great figures, a lot
- 1:38:22of fun, the basis for all customs.
- 1:38:24You know if you are getting into customising.
- 1:38:27And didn't you rich see a folder on Jeremy's laptop in the last
- 1:38:34legions? Can't.
- 1:38:36No what you're talking about. It was up on the main screen.
- 1:38:41Everyone thought, I don't know, maybe there was something there.
- 1:38:45I don't. Know 3 Yeah.
- 1:38:51Brent Bracken, I definitely saw it because he asked Jeremy a
- 1:38:53question about it like a minute. Later, there you go.
- 1:38:57So you don't keep playing bridge?
- 1:39:02Stay safe out there everybody, and remember, if you're going to
- 1:39:04invest in an RPG then the role-playing game is much safer
- 1:39:08than a rocky propelled grenade. Bear that in mind.
- 1:39:26Kickstarter to update my pledge.
