• 0:02
  My wallet is sobbing. I can hear it.
• 0:04
  I can hear it in the hall now. It is breaking down crying.
• 0:08
  It turns out that Attila the arrogant soul.
• 0:11
  And so he's got a fake hammer. Oh.
• 0:13
  A fake? Yeah.
• 0:14
  Whoa. As I say, Dick.
• 0:17
  Welcome to episode 128 of the Religions Podcast.
• 0:22
  And this week we're going to do a little recap on some stuff
• 0:25
  that's been going on, and we're going to do our own mythic
• 0:29
  legions, chess sets from the mind of Richard Jones.
• 0:34
  You came up with this one, Rich. So tell us a little bit about
• 0:37
  what's going on here. Yeah, I just thought it'd be a
• 0:39
  fun idea to, you know, which, which characters would you use
• 0:42
  for each piece and why would you use them?
• 0:44
  You know, is it because they're big?
• 0:45
  Is it because they're, you know, royal?
• 0:48
  All those sort of things. What would be good good fun
• 0:50
  topic today? Definitely.
• 0:52
  And just trying to get your favorite characters in there.
• 0:54
  I found actually it was, it wasn't as easy as, you know,
• 0:58
  just stick in your top five. But in the end, I had to be more
• 1:02
  sensible than that. I think the thing I struggled
• 1:05
  the most was just trying to spread the love around the
• 1:06
  factions a little bit. Yeah.
• 1:09
  So with the with the one notable exception, you probably guess
• 1:11
  which one has known on the chess board.
• 1:14
  Everything else I had to get at least more.
• 1:18
  Love it, love it. And Mal, how are you?
• 1:20
  You got your test shots, did you and from Week 2 or did you pick
• 1:24
  up some? I haven't.
• 1:25
  Received them, but I did order. I got my yeah.
• 1:29
  That's from the that's from the first week though, right?
• 1:32
  Yes, yeah, yeah, Miles, the second week, wasn't it?
• 1:35
  Yeah. So what did you pick up then?
• 1:38
  So I went with Monkey King and Novian Lean in the first go
• 1:43
  round. You know when you could only
• 1:45
  pick two. I was surprised I got Monkey
• 1:47
  King. I thought so, yeah, I'm going to
• 1:49
  give it a go. It's one of my favorite figures
• 1:51
  across the. Yeah, I think he must have been
• 1:53
  got in there fast. That had to be the popular one.
• 1:56
  And then Novian Lean's one of my favourites as well.
• 1:58
  So I thought of that, OK. And then later on when they've
• 2:01
  lifted the limits, because I've thought about doing this anyway,
• 2:04
  I went back in and got Umbira, Jungira because her, she goes
• 2:10
  with Novian, doesn't she? So I thought that was a cool
• 2:12
  little pair to have so. And she probably won't be as
• 2:16
  smelly as the original she's. Probably still there as well if
• 2:20
  she poor poor thing is not a popular figure.
• 2:23
  It's amazing that like like what is it about Cosmics?
• 2:26
  They don't set like sell as fast even in the test shots.
• 2:29
  It's amazing. Now there was a lot of test
• 2:31
  shots and it is a you know, it's it's not for everybody.
• 2:34
  So there is a much smaller amount of people going for them,
• 2:38
  but there is also a much smaller quantity of them.
• 2:41
  So. But even then, Cosmics are not
• 2:45
  flying off the shelves for that. I know I.
• 2:47
  Just don't. Yeah, I guess sci-fi is not well
• 2:50
  within this community at least. And and to be fair, a lot of
• 2:53
  people probably came to the Horsemen via the fantasy side of
• 2:58
  things more so than they with he with Mattel and not Mattel.
• 3:02
  I think the new bigger space suits will help when they arrive
• 3:06
  later this year in the ox crew stuff and then that will
• 3:08
  definitely help. Yeah, true.
• 3:11
  Actually, I was listening to Riches Randoms this week.
• 3:15
  We've got new episodes 6 this week with the wonderful Curtis
• 3:20
  Ackerman. And he was talking about his
• 3:23
  cosmic collecting and one of the questions there and how he's
• 3:25
  just obsessed with the Tusk armor, anything with Tusk armor.
• 3:29
  So I think the question was about, you know, how is your
• 3:33
  collecting evolved or whatever over the time?
• 3:35
  And he said he's able to kind of leave certain figures he just
• 3:38
  knows he doesn't need. He used to be just all in and
• 3:40
  now he's like, maybe I'll get 10 of them instead of getting an
• 3:45
  all in get like 10 of the ones I like kind of thing or whatever
• 3:49
  number, you know. And yeah, it kind of made me
• 3:52
  think, Oh yeah, the Tuscamera is good and these new spacesuits
• 3:55
  are good. And I mean, I'm I'm pretty much
• 3:59
  all in on cosmic, I think anyway.
• 4:03
  Maybe not huge multiples like he might with mythics, but
• 4:07
  definitely love the figures and love doing customs with them.
• 4:09
  So I think that's the biggest fun I've been having with them
• 4:14
  over the last year. I.
• 4:16
  Think for me, not so much cosmic, but generally the all in
• 4:20
  aspect is a little bit of it. You know, there's so many.
• 4:24
  It's for me, yeah. No, not even that.
• 4:27
  It's there's so many in the wave.
• 4:29
  If I'm going to get that one, that one, that one, that one,
• 4:31
  the cost of yes, you know the cost of it, might as well get
• 4:34
  the wave and ship the wave over here and then pick.
• 4:37
  Up. Yeah, maybe you wouldn't.
• 4:38
  You'd be more like Curtis if you lived in America maybe or if
• 4:44
  there was more retailers than the UK charging the equivalent
• 4:47
  retail price instead of maybe the bad retail price that'd.
• 4:51
  Be the Holy Grail. Wouldn't it?
• 4:52
  Yeah, yeah. Would be sweet.
• 4:55
  Yeah. So test shots, eh?
• 4:58
  Exciting for those that got them.
• 5:00
  And you, you're hanging on to your smell.
• 5:02
  Are you going to Oh yeah, yeah. Display them.
• 5:04
  Umm. Yeah, I haven't decided how and
• 5:07
  what I'm going to do to display them, but yeah, definitely.
• 5:09
  Yeah, they were carefully selected for.
• 5:13
  Yeah, the ones that you want to keep.
• 5:14
  Exactly. Yeah, that's cool.
• 5:17
  And I won't ask you, Rich don't don't need to implicate
• 5:20
  yourself. Well, just just to be clear, you
• 5:24
  know, I got the Vampire Phalanx, which I will keep, and we'll go
• 5:26
  in the Vampire Phalanx box because I quite like that way
• 5:29
  displaying. And then I got callous here,
• 5:30
  which I may or may not keep. We'll see with them.
• 5:33
  That's. Cool, he's a good one.
• 5:34
  Still there. He's a very good one and the
• 5:36
  soft goods, despite being coloured on the website,
• 5:39
  actually came through with grey scale.
• 5:41
  Right. OK, Maybe they just didn't have
• 5:43
  them in time for the photos. Maybe.
• 5:45
  Yeah, that is very cool figure. It's one of those like do I
• 5:49
  don't I don't think the legions con because he'd be handy trade,
• 5:52
  you know, someone go and pick me up 3 figures from horse and
• 5:54
  Booth. It might be, you know, that sort
• 5:57
  of stuff. It might be case of specifically
• 5:59
  either for a trade less likely over here unfortunately, but
• 6:03
  even a trade that legions can if it's something you really,
• 6:06
  really like and you thought was earlier reach yeah, maybe you
• 6:09
  know or someone had this amazing custom that you didn't want to
• 6:14
  drop money on. But we're happy to trade the
• 6:16
  yeah, the test shot yeah, yeah. So that definitely yeah, it's a
• 6:21
  good idea yeah. And Silver Knight 2 then is also
• 6:27
  on the way. Shipping is not, I don't think
• 6:30
  it's on the way to any of us yet, but.
• 6:33
  No, not a notice room. No, but umm, exciting that
• 6:39
  that's coming. That's a really cool figure.
• 6:42
  I got three of them, I think I remember.
• 6:44
  Yeah, I've got 3 as well. Yeah, I've got 3 as well.
• 6:47
  I think it seemed to be well for you guys, it's under the 11
• 6:50
  whatever, 35 and for for me, just it was the sweet spot for
• 6:57
  the shipping where it didn't jump to the next tier.
• 6:59
  So and it's a nice number. I think, you know, I think maybe
• 7:04
  you could have one, although with so many cool custom heads,
• 7:08
  I just love putting different heads on nights, you know, be it
• 7:12
  like a just another cool human head sculpt that's out there or
• 7:18
  a cool helmet human has got the beauty is you don't have to
• 7:21
  match the. So that's what I'd be trying to
• 7:29
  convince people, that legions can, you know, this human, you
• 7:31
  could go on any of the nights, you know?
• 7:34
  I've just, I've just checked my spreadsheet because I list
• 7:36
  everything on that and I actually, Oh yeah, Silver
• 7:38
  Knights. OK, old liar lair pants on fire.
• 7:41
  Yes, that still came under 135. So yeah, I went 4.
• 7:45
  Well, 135 will be what people in America be dreaming of come as
• 7:50
  it next Friday week or this day. We yes, this is released because
• 7:54
  now they any parcels from outside of America from anywhere
• 7:59
  will be not exempt for anything. So they'll be paying imports,
• 8:03
  which kind of rubbish we've had to deal with for years.
• 8:06
  So I don't know how your post system will be ready for for
• 8:12
  that. But otherwise it'll be first
• 8:15
  it's going to be expensive anyway and 2nd, it's going to be
• 8:19
  a pain in the ass with all the admin that gets thrown on top of
• 8:22
  it. So I actually saw today article
• 8:26
  in the Luxembourg paper, the Belgian post have decided not to
• 8:30
  ship any parcels to America from Friday until they see how the
• 8:33
  situation goes to protect their customers.
• 8:37
  They said, yeah. So I mean, they're they're
• 8:40
  afraid of a lot of parcels being returned and, you know,
• 8:43
  obviously having to pay compensation or, you know, get
• 8:46
  claims of compensation or whatever it might be.
• 8:48
  So maybe sensible approach. Yeah, so if we're trying to ship
• 8:53
  stuff off to people before Legions gone, I think it had to
• 8:56
  go this week, Rich. Definitely, yes, I am.
• 9:00
  I sent a couple of parcels over to our wonderful friend Mr.
• 9:03
  Anthony House Seal. You said he'd take them in for
• 9:05
  us and then bring them down to the con.
• 9:07
  Yeah. So I'll be.
• 9:08
  Thank you, Anthony. You'd be like me, just carefully
• 9:12
  and stressfully looking at the shipping.
• 9:15
  He should get in before that Friday.
• 9:20
  Yeah, if if you can actually hear sobbing and it's not my
• 9:24
  wallet for this time, it's it's me from from Bristol, then yeah,
• 9:27
  I didn't get through it. I've been charged like $80 or
• 9:29
  something right to be released from customs.
• 9:31
  Yeah, it could be 80 per item, which would be even worse.
• 9:35
  I've heard. I don't know, you know, because
• 9:37
  there seems to be like a big hammer amount because they, you
• 9:41
  know, we don't want to do the calculation at the moment.
• 9:44
  So it's just there you go, fixed amount.
• 9:47
  Yeah, it's it says it's either between 80 and $200, regardless
• 9:51
  of the value of the package and everything for the first few
• 9:53
  months until they saw it all out.
• 9:55
  Yeah, so that could eat into the profit margins That leads its
• 9:58
  con big time. The tad just a tad.
• 10:02
  Yeah. So, well, fingers crossed.
• 10:04
  You know, this is the way the world.
• 10:05
  We're not. I don't have any specific
• 10:08
  opinions about it politically, but it's just a pain in the ass
• 10:12
  either way, you know? Anybody in any country should
• 10:14
  pay extra duty on something they bought for themselves is
• 10:19
  madness. Yeah, I've always been against
• 10:22
  and over here. Defensible and the UK government
• 10:24
  does it already and it's it's bullshit, quite frankly.
• 10:27
  There's like no need for it at. All it's double taxation really,
• 10:30
  isn't it? And then a gift to, you know,
• 10:33
  imagine you're living in America and your mom sends you a box of
• 10:38
  tea bags from home and a couple of packet of crisps and, you
• 10:42
  know, a couple of other things that you've missed from home.
• 10:46
  That's traditionally what all Irish people when they live
• 10:50
  abroad, you know, their mother sends them, you know, the six
• 10:52
  pack of potato crisps and whatever disgusting biscuits
• 10:56
  from your childhood that somehow still have a nostalgia value
• 10:59
  and. The amount of times.
• 11:01
  Irish chocolate or whatever, you know, Sorry.
• 11:03
  No, sorry, John. Yeah.
• 11:04
  The amount of times I've stood in the post office waiting to
• 11:06
  post something I've sold and the person in front of me sending
• 11:08
  something abroad and they've been asked what's in it and they
• 11:10
  said chocolate. It's always UK chocolate that
• 11:13
  they're sending out to relatives and friends abroad all.
• 11:16
  Mad Madam, it's, you know, it's the middle of the summer here
• 11:19
  and it's like 30° outside. You know that chocolate?
• 11:22
  Yeah. And it's going to Spain, and
• 11:27
  Spain is the curtain on fire, so you know.
• 11:29
  It will be hot chocolate when it gets there.
• 11:33
  Yeah. And then you'd have to pay for
• 11:35
  that as well. That's the absurdity.
• 11:36
  You know, it, it's a little bit different.
• 11:39
  When it's a commercial thing, you could kind of justify it.
• 11:42
  But when it's just moms sending their kids chocolate, crazy,
• 11:47
  crazy. But yeah, you know, it's always
• 11:50
  the bad, the, you know, the bad people that try and take
• 11:55
  advantage of the system that make it bad for the rest of us.
• 11:58
  Yeah, and it's just an easy cash grab for governments.
• 12:01
  Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.
• 12:05
  Right. So should we get into, we've got
• 12:08
  a little bit of promoting to do now.
• 12:10
  So we've got a new sponsor. Sponsor's name is Rich.
• 12:16
  He's been busy designing heads with the sculptors for
• 12:19
  Allegiance Khan. And we're going to have what are
• 12:23
  we going to have numbers wise on the table, Rich then for?
• 12:27
  We will have 12 exclusive head sculpts at the event.
• 12:34
  We ramped it up from 2, didn't we?
• 12:36
  Yeah, we sort of, I say we, I got carried away.
• 12:40
  So 2 was a very sensible number and then I got involved and
• 12:47
  we've got 12 and we've also got a exclusive companion Beastie as
• 12:52
  well, right, that will be available.
• 12:55
  We do, yeah. That's going to be very exciting
• 12:57
  and we might might even have a little special box art for that
• 13:03
  and. Oh, we definitely will, Box.
• 13:06
  Yeah, that anything that works for the for the.
• 13:08
  I don't get people too excited but if anyone buys one of the
• 13:11
  exclusive sculpts then there will be a hand drawn print
• 13:17
  signed numbered to go with it from yours truly.
• 13:21
  I don't all Stampede at once. That's the selling point right
• 13:24
  there. But hopefully everybody likes
• 13:26
  them. I had a lot of fun working with
• 13:28
  General Luca to design them, and I know Mal with the Beastie, you
• 13:31
  had a lot of fun work with him as well to design that one.
• 13:35
  So yeah, hopefully people like them.
• 13:37
  What did I do? Oh, nothing, nothing.
• 13:40
  You weren't bothered this time. Yeah, you, you looked after the
• 13:46
  doors strings, Yeah. That's true.
• 13:48
  That's true. I, I, I it came to Dad every
• 13:51
  time to pay the bill. Yeah, and well, and thanks to
• 13:54
  our patrons and people that support the show for for
• 13:57
  allowing us to to to be a little bit more like that.
• 14:01
  But it is a little bit like one Starbucks has came to the
• 14:03
  village, they sold a few coffees and now there's like 12.
• 14:06
  That's kind of how it's gone this year.
• 14:09
  I'll be brutally honest, I'll say it quietly because my family
• 14:11
  aren't that far away. If I hadn't run out of money,
• 14:13
  I'd probably commissioned another 5 or 6 again.
• 14:16
  But I'm just flat broke now. I'm just gone.
• 14:19
  How many head? How many head stands do you
• 14:21
  have? Probably not enough.
• 14:25
  I have one and I'm keeping it at 1:00 because they're not because
• 14:29
  Anthony has it and I'm not. I'm not packing another one.
• 14:33
  Oh, I need to check and see see if Anthony still got mine
• 14:35
  actually. Oh, hopefully he does.
• 14:36
  That'll be very handy. Yeah, I'm sure he does know.
• 14:39
  Whether he knows it's yours or not is another thing.
• 14:41
  That's yes. Yeah.
• 14:44
  Well, we'll just we'll find out if he wants to go on Richie's
• 14:46
  randoms or not if there's a debate over the Head Start I.
• 14:49
  Can ask it added to your questions.
• 14:51
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
• 14:52
  Do you have my head? I'm taking over.
• 14:57
  I'm going to read a little intro and background to this, and then
• 15:02
  we're going to show you the first two of the exclusive
• 15:04
  sculpts. Anyone's watching news, you
• 15:07
  would have seen the first one quickly.
• 15:08
  Already. No, I'll cut it out, don't
• 15:09
  worry. Yeah, grand.
• 15:12
  The sculpts, people. I won't give anything too much
• 15:15
  away, but people shouldn't be so surprised if they've heard me
• 15:17
  talk at any length about the sort of sculpts I'd like to see
• 15:20
  in mythos, you know, the sort of stuff that's coming.
• 15:23
  But anyway, I am embracing the new, bigger mythos, the world of
• 15:29
  mythos. So I'm going to read.
• 15:32
  So certainly some of the sculpts anyway are going to be on other
• 15:35
  continents based on other continents.
• 15:38
  So I've got a little story about how the war, Second World, the
• 15:41
  Second World War, Second Great War went.
• 15:43
  There was a page not too long, then I have that's part of a
• 15:48
  page explaining how they got to the new continent and then we
• 15:52
  introduce the characters. So this is going to be.
• 15:53
  Grab your pillows, folks. Get ready, if you love Miles
• 15:57
  reading, you're going to hate mine.
• 16:00
  I'm not editing. I'm not editing that your flubs.
• 16:03
  Oh, that's fine. That's fine.
• 16:05
  What, you mean there's never any flubs?
• 16:10
  Wow, the uncut The uncut version is coming to a page on a.
• 16:17
  Lot of effing and blind dinners anyway.
• 16:22
  Sorry Rich, please. OK, all right then.
• 16:27
  So. After the Second Great War, the
• 16:30
  continent of Mythos was in a desperate state with many areas
• 16:33
  devastated by the war and great battles fought throughout it.
• 16:37
  No worries is more keenly felt than in the southern coastal
• 16:40
  communities. These small fishing villages and
• 16:42
  large ports alike had borne the initial brunt of the attacks
• 16:45
  from Necronominus and Poxus forces.
• 16:49
  We wave after wave of undead horrors and pestilence swept
• 16:52
  ashore and through their lands. Entire villages were obliterated
• 16:56
  by dark magics with a fall and then rising to become the undead
• 16:59
  horde and fight for the dark gods.
• 17:02
  In Ephidium. The resistance to these
• 17:04
  invasions was led by the mages of the Convocation of Basilia,
• 17:07
  who by chance happened to be stationed in the coastal
• 17:10
  villages. Although knowing they would be
• 17:13
  unable to withstand the vast forces Epoxus, they nevertheless
• 17:17
  stood their ground and did all they could.
• 17:19
  It is said barely a single mage from these areas survived, but
• 17:23
  through their bravery they did manage to save thousands of
• 17:26
  people across Afidian. Some mages sent entire villages
• 17:29
  to temporary dimensions where they were safe, others healed as
• 17:33
  much of the pestilence poxes spread before they themselves
• 17:36
  were cut down. In ethos, the large port cities
• 17:40
  put up a fierce resistance, but were doomed against the
• 17:43
  uncountable hordes of undead creatures that attacked them.
• 17:47
  Trading vessels of all sizes fled and took as many people as
• 17:50
  they could, but they still left hundreds of thousands left in
• 17:53
  the port cities themselves. It was here the now prominent
• 17:57
  Templar Order established themselves once more as one of
• 18:00
  the greatest forces for good in mythos.
• 18:03
  The order was sent by Sir Godfrey via the Templar
• 18:06
  Emissaries for each temple to hold firm no matter the cost.
• 18:13
  Each temple Master swore to uphold this order, and they and
• 18:16
  their men fought with a bravery that unless seen, would have
• 18:19
  been thought as mystical. Though through the Templar
• 18:23
  actions, 10s of thousands of lives were saved.
• 18:26
  The hordes of undead were slowed up for weeks by the Templar's
• 18:29
  actions, allowing the armies of Etheros to assemble in full
• 18:32
  readiness for the Great War to come.
• 18:36
  The greatest rearguard action of this campaign was led by the
• 18:38
  temple within the port city of Rukfaros.
• 18:42
  Their story is for another time, but even the mortally wounded
• 18:45
  Thoracis, the first born himself, spoke of their valor
• 18:49
  and military might before his existence was ended by
• 18:51
  Gwendolyn, Heaven's Brand after the final great battle.
• 18:55
  The surviving populations returned to their destroyed
• 18:58
  cities and villages after the war, but there was so little
• 19:01
  left. They realized they would
• 19:02
  struggle to survive here now, and so decided to roam further
• 19:06
  afield. With the rest of Mythos in
• 19:08
  ruins, they saw no other option but to set sail to see what
• 19:12
  other land, if any, could be found across the vast oceans.
• 19:18
  So that sets the scene gents. We have a death of a major
• 19:21
  player. Terrasses.
• 19:22
  I did. I know he's one of your
• 19:23
  favourites, John. I took particularly in that one.
• 19:26
  Yeah, it wasn't why, but I did. It did add real thing of
• 19:29
  experiment to it, yeah. Brett, we love to give him a dig
• 19:32
  in the ribs. Thankfully Brett sent my parcel,
• 19:36
  otherwise he might be binning it.
• 19:40
  That was a that was that was beautifully read and written.
• 19:44
  I thank you. Yeah, I suppose.
• 19:48
  Let's be honest, Ma, there's probably less flubs and stuff
• 19:50
  you write yourself because you're kind of, it's in your own
• 19:54
  voice. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 19:55
  Exactly, Yeah. So and yeah, I know for me last
• 20:00
  last week with reading the stuff, I hadn't done enough pre
• 20:03
  reading, which is why I like hopefully people didn't notice
• 20:08
  it, but there was definitely a couple of lines we had to do
• 20:12
  multiple times and also. And a couple of lines were maybe
• 20:19
  the pacing from me wasn't as good as it should have been, but
• 20:22
  anyway. Gents, I listened to the show
• 20:24
  this morning. It was superb.
• 20:27
  Don't need a disservice. Thank you.
• 20:28
  Absolutely great. Like sound effects, the voices,
• 20:33
  I'll be honest, the the paladin from the end all freaked me out
• 20:37
  a little bit. Now I didn't like.
• 20:38
  That voice, it was a bit. Creepy for my liking, but
• 20:41
  otherwise it was all. Sent to me, yeah.
• 20:44
  To what for your liking? Freaky, creepy freaky was just
• 20:48
  like, yeah. Yeah, but he was written that
• 20:50
  way. He was written as a kind of a
• 20:51
  bit of an arrogant, kind of, you know, pompous a bit, I don't
• 20:55
  know. And Halver definitely had to
• 20:58
  wind you up as House of the Noble Bear and being a bit, you
• 21:01
  know, full of himself. Oh.
• 21:03
  No, no, I was too busy listening to the the Irish lilt of Little
• 21:07
  Burger. So Burgie or his name is.
• 21:11
  Thank you. Yeah, I know.
• 21:13
  Yeah. Curtis doesn't listen to audio,
• 21:15
  so he won't probably have heard it.
• 21:17
  Maybe he's seen the Instagram. Really.
• 21:18
  I dropped. But yeah, I hope he doesn't get
• 21:22
  too upset that he's character now.
• 21:24
  Sounds like somebody from West Kerry.
• 21:28
  And we we do plan to do these the yeah hearts 5 to 8 was it we
• 21:34
  haven't we just. We need we need a bit more
• 21:38
  energy. Well, I definitely do.
• 21:39
  I'm I'm a little bit rundown after my holidays.
• 21:42
  So I thought would be better to do regular episode this week and
• 21:46
  I think we all agree. Yeah, definitely.
• 21:49
  And excellent, Rich. So OK, that's the scene.
• 21:52
  So that's the scene. So now you want to talk about
• 21:56
  no, no, no pictures. OK, old, old.
• 21:59
  As Mel Gibson said, it breaks off.
• 22:06
  So let's go. One group, after weeks at sea,
• 22:09
  came across a small group of islands which looked suitable
• 22:12
  for possible settling. No one from Mythos will have
• 22:15
  come this far, and so it's ours, was the thought that went
• 22:17
  through their minds. However, they were in for a
• 22:19
  shock when they landed. As they walked up the beautiful
• 22:22
  sandy beach they heard what they first thought was Thunder, then
• 22:26
  they thought maybe a rockslide, and then they realized it was
• 22:28
  clapping and chanting. They froze in the knowledge this
• 22:32
  island was not only populated but populated by many people.
• 22:36
  They debated returning to their boats but the thoughts are going
• 22:39
  back to sea was too much for some.
• 22:41
  Then the choice was taken out of their hands when a group of what
• 22:44
  appeared to be anthropomorphic fish beings surrounded them out
• 22:48
  of nowhere. The leader of the Group, A
• 22:51
  hammerhead shark, pointed towards the interior, and the
• 22:55
  group were moved that way by the points of Spears and tridents.
• 22:58
  As they crested the hill, they saw before them a city size
• 23:01
  settlement of what appeared to be huts made from coral,
• 23:05
  seashells and bones. In the center stood a tall
• 23:08
  building, primarily made of the bones of what must have been
• 23:11
  monstrously sized creatures in life.
• 23:14
  This was where the chanting was coming from, and they presumed
• 23:17
  it was a temple of some sort. They were herded through the
• 23:20
  narrow streets towards the temple, being glared up by every
• 23:23
  fish person they passed. The fishermen and traders among
• 23:27
  the group recognized species of marine life they knew among the
• 23:30
  inhabitants, such as puffer fish, various shark species, and
• 23:34
  even rays. They had no idea how these
• 23:36
  creatures had transformed to look like men, but they were too
• 23:39
  scared to ponder on that for very long.
• 23:41
  It wasn't any fish people there, however.
• 23:43
  There were also humans and other races from mythos.
• 23:47
  Their encouragement at seeing these familiar races soon
• 23:50
  disappeared, however, when they realized those races were all in
• 23:53
  chains. These people were clearly
• 23:55
  enslaved by the fish peoples. As they reached the temple, the
• 24:00
  chanting reached a crescendo and they could finally make out what
• 24:04
  was being chanted. It was one word repeated over
• 24:07
  and over again. Daku waka, Daku waka, Daku waka.
• 24:13
  The hammer told them to stop and beat 1 member of the group who
• 24:16
  didn't stop quickly enough. The Ancient Ones will now judge
• 24:19
  you as workers or food. He announced they alone can
• 24:23
  judge for daka waka. Suddenly drum beats began.
• 24:28
  The chanting crowd hushed and out of the temple entrance
• 24:31
  strode 2 brightly coloured figures adorned with tattoos.
• 24:35
  These sea species were unknown to the Mythos Mythosonians, but
• 24:40
  they were a terrifying sight to behold.
• 24:42
  I've. Got to say something, you were
• 24:46
  bananas. Brit to say.
• 24:48
  I love that they batter their food before they eat it.
• 24:54
  Fish. They're obviously Scottish.
• 24:56
  Thank. You thank you.
• 25:00
  Amazing thank you. So you're a bananas.
• 25:04
  Wacker is actually a shark God from the Fijian culture, so
• 25:08
  isn't it still that Yes. That does sound like some sort
• 25:11
  of a chant that you know, like a hacker chant for rugby or
• 25:16
  whatever. You know that maybe the Fijians
• 25:17
  do, right? So so 2 brightly coloured
• 25:20
  creatures walk out. John shows the first head
• 25:23
  sculpt. Boom.
• 25:26
  Here we go. So for anyone who's not watching
• 25:29
  this on YouTube, we have a shark man head sculpt.
• 25:32
  Can't believe you. Can't believe you did that shark
• 25:35
  head do. You know what I mean?
• 25:36
  I never mentioned them on the show at all.
• 25:38
  So it's it's a genuine surprise. Yeah, so I wanted to do sharks,
• 25:43
  but there's been a few sharks out there, head sculpts people
• 25:46
  have done, so I want to do something a bit different.
• 25:47
  So I went for prehistoric sharks.
• 25:51
  So having spent more time than I'd like to mention Googling
• 25:54
  prehistoric sharks and which ones looked cool, I found a
• 25:58
  couple. There was three that were really
• 25:59
  good, and I went with two of them in the end.
• 26:02
  So here's the sculpt. It was expertly sculpted by John
• 26:05
  Luca, who's GN Art does lots of stuff for other the like actual
• 26:10
  company sort of thing like. Borderlands and stuff.
• 26:17
  Yeah, he's worked for everybody. He's a great sculptor.
• 26:20
  So here's the first one. So it is a bonker shark sculpt
• 26:24
  with rows of very big teeth. It's got a fin on the back of
• 26:29
  its head and it's also got a flat a raised but flat fin on
• 26:34
  the top of its head with little nodules.
• 26:36
  For the audio audio listeners, imagine those scrubbers you have
• 26:39
  in your shower, you know, for for doing your back there.
• 26:43
  There's ones like that, you know.
• 26:45
  Yes. And in the actual shark the the
• 26:48
  flat fin was further down its back, but obviously you know for
• 26:51
  a fact to go at the top of its head.
• 26:53
  Yeah, yeah. So John, have you got the the
• 26:57
  full custom figure to show next? There we go there.
• 27:00
  We go. It's already.
• 27:01
  Painted. So there is the figure.
• 27:04
  This was wonderfully painted by Mark Calver and Mark printed as
• 27:07
  well. So thank you very much indeed
• 27:09
  Mark for that. So here is the first of the two
• 27:12
  brightly coloured figures. It's using a Azar and ILGA body
• 27:20
  combinations there and then the. Trident, you got the patina from
• 27:24
  ILGA. Yes, and the Trident is from
• 27:27
  Aliexpress, of course. No, go ahead.
• 27:30
  Very cool. Yeah.
• 27:31
  Just just like that, not painted and like that's how it.
• 27:34
  Can comes like that, yeah. Wow.
• 27:38
  And then there's a little bit of like hessian on the waist paste
• 27:41
  because when I put them together, I realized that the
• 27:42
  Olga weight belt didn't cover the top of the legs, so.
• 27:47
  OK. I think, I think they're having
• 27:48
  talked about all that. We should clarify it is the head
• 27:51
  sculpt we will have, not that particular one, but a version of
• 27:55
  the head sculpt will be for sale there.
• 27:56
  Will be unpainted head sculpts for sale?
• 27:59
  Yes, so you can paint it a normal grey color anything you
• 28:02
  want. It can be a space shark, bright
• 28:05
  colors, just whatever you. Want if you want to use it on a
• 28:09
  zenith on the grey body, that's a good one for Sharkman as well.
• 28:14
  Yeah, so really nicely done here.
• 28:17
  The yellow. So this obviously fits in with
• 28:19
  your story. Basically, this is the character
• 28:21
  it does. Unfortunately, we've shown these
• 28:23
  in the wrong order and I should have told you that.
• 28:24
  So can we see the second one as well, John?
• 28:25
  Because the stories don't make sense if we do outboard.
• 28:27
  OK. And here is sorry, I thought
• 28:30
  that's poor planning on my behalf.
• 28:32
  And here is the second head sculpt.
• 28:34
  This is a really unusual shark from the prehistoric period.
• 28:38
  Its main feature is that it has just one row of teeth right down
• 28:42
  the middle of its mouth on the top and bottom.
• 28:45
  So there's no teeth around the sides.
• 28:47
  It's just down the middle, which is a bizarre adaptation.
• 28:50
  I'm not quite sure why, you know why it evolved like that, but it
• 28:55
  did. So, yeah, so sharp man head.
• 28:57
  One set of teeth on the lower jaw in the middle, one set in
• 29:00
  the upper jaw and then a cool shark fin on the top.
• 29:03
  And then some battle damage here as well.
• 29:07
  Yes, there's some battle damage on the fins and then there's
• 29:09
  some gills on the side as well and a bit of battle damage there
• 29:12
  as well. So real bruiser.
• 29:14
  You can tell he's a badass. Yeah.
• 29:17
  And you want to see the the custom then?
• 29:20
  And let's see the painted Custom 1.
• 29:22
  So here we go again, wonderfully painted by Mark So it uses a
• 29:26
  Zazar body and an ILGA combination, Mythelegions
• 29:31
  Trident and a shield from Aliexpress.
• 29:33
  It's. A very cool shield as well.
• 29:35
  It is some great stuff out there, Rich.
• 29:38
  Just just get like a dozen of these.
• 29:39
  It's just sellers like you know, for 10 bucks on the table I
• 29:43
  think. Well people have heard me send
• 29:44
  us like £4. Now I'm going to be like, you
• 29:45
  know, lynched. We're trying to sign up for a
• 29:47
  tenner at the event. You you, you did all the hard
• 29:51
  work getting them delivered. Don't get me wrong, I'm not
• 29:52
  saying that thought didn't go through my head when I ordered
• 29:55
  these and I did debate it, but no.
• 29:58
  OK. OK, yeah.
• 30:01
  So it's the the heads painted blue.
• 30:03
  Obviously you can see a little bit better, if better if people
• 30:05
  zoom in, you can see that the one row of teeth in the top and
• 30:09
  the bottom right then. So here we go.
• 30:13
  Here come the stories. The first of the two creatures
• 30:16
  was clearly a shark of some kind, but the Mythosians had
• 30:20
  never seen a bright blue shark before.
• 30:22
  He was cladding what appeared to be ancient armor, corroding and
• 30:25
  oxidizing. He carried a shield bearing
• 30:27
  water serpents and a Trident weapon.
• 30:30
  But it was when he spoke that he truly became strange.
• 30:33
  His teeth were not around the outside of his mouth, but
• 30:36
  instead they were down the middle.
• 30:39
  Lord Eddies said the Hammerhead. These outsiders have arrived on
• 30:42
  our holy shores without. The Hammerhead bowed and stepped
• 30:46
  back from the prone prisoners. The intimidating blue shark
• 30:49
  slammed his shield into the ground so hard the ground itself
• 30:52
  shook. He then approached the Mythosins
• 30:55
  and walked slowly around the group, raising some of their
• 30:57
  heads with the point of his Trident.
• 31:00
  Humans have reached our shores, Stack.
• 31:03
  He said to the other brightly coloured shark.
• 31:05
  We have haunted them and enslaved them for millennia, but
• 31:08
  now they have found our lands. We must take this news to the
• 31:12
  Council of Ancients. Anyone who's listened or watched
• 31:15
  our podcast knows Hive. Big thing for sharks and I would
• 31:19
  love to become Canon in mythos one day.
• 31:21
  This is me just talking generally.
• 31:23
  I should have made that clear. In the meantime I wanted to do
• 31:27
  some creations on my own. So this is based on an actual
• 31:30
  prehistoric shark called Edestus was the species.
• 31:34
  Nobody wants to look it up. OK.
• 31:38
  And then go back to the yellow guy for a second job?
• 31:40
  Yeah, of course. So this is Steph, the guy he was
• 31:44
  talking to. Let us think on this my friend.
• 31:47
  Replied the bright yellow shark to Lord Eddie's.
• 31:50
  If this is the start of the expansion of the peoples of the
• 31:52
  North Continent into the wider world of Mythos, then it is not
• 31:56
  just a matter for the Ocean clans.
• 31:59
  The rest of mythos be damned, replied Eddie's.
• 32:01
  We rule the oceans and are the true masters of all the other
• 32:05
  continents and the empires within them would disagree, said
• 32:08
  Steph. The Audra Baya theory is backed
• 32:10
  by a dragon, one who if reported to be relieved, has woken again.
• 32:15
  Let us question the humans first to know if this is the start of
• 32:18
  an expansion or an invasion. The other creatures here can be
• 32:22
  food for the people. Take them away and we will feast
• 32:26
  tonight. With that the Hammerhead and
• 32:28
  other guards took the non humans away.
• 32:31
  The remaining mythos IANS were herded to a building away from
• 32:34
  the temple to await their fate. So there we go.
• 32:39
  Amazing. Great bias.
• 32:41
  Yeah, very cool. So I wasn't planning to make the
• 32:43
  shark people evil, but they are full on evil.
• 32:46
  Yeah, and I managed to do a close up here of the shark teeth
• 32:52
  down the middle, so you get a good view there.
• 32:54
  Look at that. So that is, I hadn't noticed
• 32:58
  that when I was, even when I was looking at the sculpt itself and
• 33:03
  turning it and twisting it to get the screenshots.
• 33:06
  That's amazing. It's just a really cool feature
• 33:08
  and a genuine thing, you know? It's yeah, yeah.
• 33:12
  Evolved from that. So people can, you know, people
• 33:16
  can paint these any color they want, obviously, but I've gone I
• 33:18
  Despair, Zaza and Azar around. So it was like, let's go
• 33:21
  brightly colored. Yeah, it works.
• 33:23
  Do you think? I wanted them as they were, as
• 33:25
  your ancient sharks. The one didn't stand out.
• 33:27
  So I've got like three other sharks or we'll have a couple of
• 33:31
  being painted one by John here, which will be more like a grey
• 33:35
  sort of thing. So I wanted these to stand out.
• 33:39
  And do you think that humans may ever evolve from this kind of
• 33:45
  teeth configuration you imagine? What's the We'll have this type
• 33:50
  of teeth? No, we did like back in the, you
• 33:54
  know. The same point if you go far
• 33:56
  enough back. Yeah, so that's grim, isn't it?
• 34:02
  It may clean your teeth easier, or they might gag a little bit.
• 34:04
  It's got to the back. The teeth go all the way back on
• 34:07
  the tongue. Maybe, maybe.
• 34:10
  Yeah, There we go. So.
• 34:17
  So that's the first two of the the 12 exclusives.
• 34:21
  Keep watching the show guys. We'll be showing the rest over
• 34:24
  the next few weeks. I'll also put the the figures up
• 34:27
  on on the Cabal or on Instagram with the BIOS and everything
• 34:32
  there as well for people. And as I said, there'll be
• 34:34
  unpainted versions of the scopes available exclusively from the
• 34:37
  Eurolegions podcast table at legions.com.
• 34:42
  There you go. And we also had some more stuff
• 34:47
  to promote for our friends. That right?
• 34:50
  We do, yes. So good friend of the show Mark
• 34:53
  Calvin, I said he painted the Sharks and me.
• 34:55
  He's been working with Diego, who goes by MO Away on
• 34:59
  Instagram. Really good sculptor.
• 35:01
  We've shown loads of his stuff recently.
• 35:03
  Yeah. And Mark's a great sculptor and
• 35:05
  painter and everything. And the two of them have been
• 35:06
  working in collaboration on some things to go with all the new
• 35:11
  nights that we've had out recently.
• 35:14
  Right. And they will be launching the,
• 35:17
  sorry, John, they'd be launched launching these for sale in the
• 35:22
  next couple of days. It's so probably Saturday when
• 35:26
  people are listening to this. OK.
• 35:27
  So it's a it's it's not allegiance counting.
• 35:30
  This is a. It's not no.
• 35:31
  And they're selling the SDLS so people can buy them and print
• 35:34
  them out themselves. I think you did originally say
• 35:37
  Friday. So it might be as people are
• 35:40
  listening to this that they they're up for sale, perhaps,
• 35:44
  yeah. So.
• 35:46
  Yeah, so, so basically it's they've designed a range of
• 35:50
  helmets that fit over the new Knights heads.
• 35:54
  So like Sir Elijah Serenoch, Adelrich, the skeletal versions
• 36:00
  of them obviously. So there's 12345 I think it's
• 36:04
  like 5 or 6 different heads. You go on like a very
• 36:09
  traditional crusader tile style, quite tall, pointed on with a
• 36:12
  nose shield. But then a bit of a helmet that
• 36:16
  goes underneath it. You got on the full face shield.
• 36:20
  You got Conquistador style one. I really love that one.
• 36:24
  You got another one with a lower face shield with this black
• 36:27
  breathing stuff through. And then just a couple of more
• 36:31
  like man arms type helmets that you might see on a knight
• 36:34
  wearing or a medieval soldier wearing as well.
• 36:37
  And then they've also done one head sculpt as well to go with
• 36:40
  it. So there's a human knight head
• 36:42
  sculpt which is amazing, as well as parts of the set.
• 36:47
  Yeah. Umm, shall I play the little
• 36:49
  video that Mark sent? Yes.
• 36:52
  Can Tuesday's work? There you go.
• 36:57
  You can pop the helmets on. This is all done over the
• 37:04
  chainmail skeleton face. So that comes with Elijah, is
• 37:08
  it? Yes, yeah.
• 37:10
  But they'll, they'll fit over, I don't reckon.
• 37:12
  And all those sort of head sculpts, basically.
• 37:16
  It'd probably fit on skeleton builders and that.
• 37:18
  They probably would. Yeah, they probably would.
• 37:21
  And there's some more painted versions of course, Spectrum,
• 37:26
  Merck. Yeah, and he's used a Valiant
• 37:28
  night body for these, but obviously, you know, there's
• 37:32
  plenty of night bodies out there and available, including some of
• 37:34
  the cheap Legion builders still as well.
• 37:35
  So yeah, these are and they look, I don't know about you
• 37:39
  guys, but I think these look amazing.
• 37:41
  Yeah, they're awesome. Yeah, really cool.
• 37:44
  Again, it's just it's just extra character you can give to your
• 37:46
  figures about having to do too much.
• 37:49
  Yeah, and there's the one with the face mask.
• 37:54
  Yeah, and there's that Conquistador.
• 37:56
  I love that one. Yeah, it's kind of so well done
• 37:59
  guys. And I mean, always great to have
• 38:04
  people collaborating. So Diego with the designs and
• 38:07
  then that's my way do I Diego? Yeah.
• 38:10
  He is, yes. And then mark with the printing
• 38:13
  and painting, so you've all your bases covered there.
• 38:17
  Yeah, no, great stuff. And I said not.
• 38:22
  So these aren't exclusives or anything.
• 38:23
  They'll be available for sale Friday or Saturday as SDLS and
• 38:26
  I'm sure Mark will print some paints.
• 38:28
  I'm sure there'll be people that will have them as as prints and
• 38:33
  maybe even painted versions eventually.
• 38:35
  Yeah, as Rich finishes his McDonald's.
• 38:40
  Whatever. Milkshake.
• 38:42
  Milkshake, what did you? The the the sugar is the only
• 38:46
  thing keep me awake. I'll be honest.
• 38:50
  Like I got water in my LFC glass mouth.
• 38:53
  Wow. To keep me first, keep my thirst
• 38:57
  dealt with. But yeah, I need the sugar of
• 38:58
  milkshake. Yeah, football is back.
• 39:01
  There you go. And balls back United are losing
• 39:05
  already. It's all back to normal.
• 39:06
  I mean, you know, give them, let's give it a couple of weeks
• 39:09
  because Oh yeah. I mean, that was a match that
• 39:12
  was, you know, wasn't probably they expecting to win at the
• 39:15
  moment? I think United have to win all
• 39:18
  the the crappy games that they weren't winning now.
• 39:21
  Isn't that it? Yeah.
• 39:22
  Yeah. And then and then you look for.
• 39:25
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
• 39:26
  That'll take care of itself. Yeah.
• 39:28
  Yeah. I know, but I can't just dig in
• 39:30
  a mile a little bit. He knows.
• 39:31
  It's fun, yeah. And then American football will
• 39:33
  be starting up in September. So yeah, then we're back.
• 39:36
  Yes, I was looking forward to that.
• 39:38
  And then the Commanders have had a couple of absolute thumpings
• 39:40
  in preseason, so. OK, we'll see how that goes.
• 39:44
  Did they did they get any new players in or?
• 39:47
  Oh yeah, signed loads of new players.
• 39:48
  Yeah. And the preseason is it's like
• 39:49
  the web Premier League football pre season, you can lose every
• 39:52
  game. It doesn't matter what happens
• 39:54
  when the you know, it goes live that you know a lot of players
• 39:57
  are rested or don't play much and that sort of stuff.
• 39:59
  So it's. Right.
• 40:02
  Shall we get into this mythic legions chest thing then?
• 40:06
  Because otherwise we might. And last at the end, is that
• 40:10
  right? Will you guys be fine?
• 40:13
  I'd be like. Yeah, well, after a milkshake.
• 40:15
  I mean, I wouldn't, you know, I'd either be on my way to the
• 40:19
  bathroom or asleep. Yeah.
• 40:21
  Hopefully that doesn't occur, but if I did jump up all of a
• 40:24
  sudden, we know the milkshakes gone through me.
• 40:27
  OK, so chess, I'm sure everyone is on some level familiar with
• 40:32
  chess. So these are the pieces that are
• 40:35
  in play. And we got the king, the the one
• 40:38
  that you're trying to kill. That is the goal in chess to get
• 40:41
  to kill the game. And you got the queen, the
• 40:44
  Bishop, the knight, the Rook, and the pawn.
• 40:47
  So the pawn, there's eight of them.
• 40:50
  I don't know how you guys have approached it.
• 40:52
  I've just kind of gone for two different types of legion
• 40:56
  builder for each set of pawns. Yeah, I have to.
• 41:00
  Yeah, Mal's face suggests. He hasn't.
• 41:02
  No, no, no, I'm going to let others go first because I have a
• 41:05
  feeling I might have stolen something Rich was thinking of.
• 41:09
  If not, then. OK.
• 41:12
  And and what we're going to do just to be clear.
• 41:14
  So there's a in chess, white plays against black and we're
• 41:18
  going to do white as the legions of light and black as the
• 41:21
  legions of dark. So that's how we're going to do
• 41:24
  the the sets. And, and there is in chess
• 41:28
  there's 2 bishops, there's 2 Knights and two rooks.
• 41:30
  So, you know, I mean, obviously in chess it's just two of the
• 41:33
  same pieces, but we're not going to be that boring.
• 41:35
  I don't think so I've done two different characters for each of
• 41:40
  those pieces, one king, 1 queen and bonds.
• 41:44
  As we said, a couple of legion builders from the different
• 41:49
  groupings. A little bit about chess.
• 41:52
  So chess can be chased traced back to the ancient Indian game
• 41:57
  of Chaturanga. I'm sure it butchered that
• 42:01
  pronunciation, but that sounds sounds about how it's spelled.
• 42:05
  So, you know, can't go. But in that 6th century that is
• 42:09
  from and the pieces represented the different divisions of the
• 42:13
  military. So including infantry, which are
• 42:16
  the pawns, the cavalry, which are the Knights and elephants in
• 42:21
  Indian culture back then. So that's the bishops.
• 42:24
  So I don't know how it got from elephants to bishops, but I
• 42:27
  think I've definitely I've kind of kept on bishopy, but not not
• 42:34
  not fully with the I haven't gone full religious with the
• 42:37
  bishops. I have to say more the the
• 42:41
  slightly higher ranking generals and then the rooks castles, you
• 42:46
  might know them as as well. They were the Chariots in the
• 42:50
  original game. So you can imagine the Chariots
• 42:53
  with the with the horses and the guy on the thing.
• 42:57
  So the real I would say that's kind of big, the big bruisers.
• 43:04
  Yeah. And these pieces, along with the
• 43:07
  King and his counsellor, which evolved into the Queen and
• 43:13
  formed the basis of the game. So I think that's an interesting
• 43:19
  context to talk about it. It is, and I can confirm, I mean
• 43:23
  very quickly. Googled it and I'm sure whatever
• 43:25
  AI told me was correct that it changed from an elephant to a
• 43:29
  Bishop in the 12th century when the game right in Europe where
• 43:32
  elephants weren't. Yeah, never knew what elephant
• 43:34
  was. So, so elephants were cool and
• 43:36
  we decided, uh, let's go over. We're in Europe now, let's make
• 43:40
  it boring. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 43:43
  So apologies for that. And, you know, in the Indian
• 43:48
  culture, I suppose, and, and there's a lot of good Indian
• 43:52
  chess players these days. So, you know, it's still a very
• 43:56
  popular game over there. So how are we going to, are we
• 43:59
  going to do this? I think, I think it would be
• 44:01
  incoherent if we just went piece for piece.
• 44:04
  So I think we'll go one person's lights at the other person's
• 44:09
  lights at the other person's, you know, do step by step how we
• 44:12
  do that, Rich as it was your idea.
• 44:15
  You can go first to set the ground rules and myself and Mal
• 44:17
  can scramble in the background if we realize we have completely
• 44:22
  messed it up. Sticking with mine.
• 44:24
  I like mine so I'm sticking. With whatever or you can reframe
• 44:30
  it. I'll start off by saying that I
• 44:35
  tried to spread the love around the various factions.
• 44:37
  You're always spreading the love.
• 44:39
  With one very, very notable exception.
• 44:42
  Who's got no entrance on this list.
• 44:44
  If you listen to the show, you'll know which faction that
• 44:46
  is. Yeah, but the Legions of Light
• 44:48
  do not include this faction. They sort of do.
• 44:51
  They helped him in the war. Yeah they do in mine and there's
• 44:54
  some non legions of dark in my. Dark.
• 44:57
  I have. I have.
• 44:59
  I have not included them or the red sun.
• 45:03
  So there you go. Goodman John, get those filthy
• 45:06
  Barbarians out. OK, right then.
• 45:09
  So as the King, I would have Ethan.
• 45:14
  So a super majestic with that cool armor.
• 45:18
  I inspires loyalty. I mean, what else do you need in
• 45:22
  the King? I'm not going to go through too
• 45:25
  many bullets for each of these. That's just, I thought that was
• 45:27
  a really cool figure. Yeah, and we're not doing
• 45:29
  pictures for all of these because you've got there's time
• 45:32
  for that. You can go to source Sourceman.
• 45:34
  If you don't know what ether on looks like though, why you
• 45:36
  listen to this? If you don't, let's be honest.
• 45:41
  Then for the Queen, I have Zylona.
• 45:44
  Good. She's the most real of the four
• 45:46
  great beasts, yeah, Regal Queen. And when her antlers are back in
• 45:51
  their battle pose, she is super powerful.
• 45:53
  And the Queen is obviously the most powerful piece on the
• 45:55
  board, so. This this I had forgotten about
• 45:58
  but I know I'm really hoping they do the announcement of the
• 46:03
  Zealona 2 because. We're the That'd be amazing.
• 46:09
  And if they don't do it, I'd see who you're which of the Four
• 46:11
  Horsemen employees you're chasing her and legions can't
• 46:14
  train, correct it or give out about it.
• 46:19
  OK, so my first Bishop, so I thought religious ish.
• 46:24
  So I had to pick somebody from the orderly throne.
• 46:27
  So it was Surrogatius. It's got wonderful pleasant
• 46:31
  armor, so very flashy armor and those sort of winged helmets
• 46:35
  attachments gives that sort of angelic feel to him.
• 46:37
  So I thought he'd be a good fit. And then for Bishop 2 is Harris
• 46:41
  Serpent Spire. Oh, that's a nice that was a bit
• 46:44
  left field. Yeah, she looks like a priestess
• 46:46
  of sorts, so again, fits in with the religious think.
• 46:48
  Drived as a priestess. Oh yeah, and she has a very
• 46:52
  fancy staff and like bishops, like medieval bishops always had
• 46:55
  the fancy Staffs and I'm sure it's a technical term for them,
• 46:58
  but the fancy stuff. So I went for her the.
• 47:02
  Two biggest stuff. Yeah.
• 47:05
  Oh God, yeah, it doesn't. She can't hold it, but it's
• 47:08
  there. My hair is arm is like that even
• 47:12
  though it used to be like that. Our hand, Sorry.
• 47:17
  She's just, she's just having a good time right then.
• 47:21
  So for the Knights first up, it had to be Magnus.
• 47:30
  Go on, do your Magnus smell? Sorry do your Magnus voice, I
• 47:34
  forgot. What it was, well, it was
• 47:37
  something like this. Wasn't.
• 47:38
  Yeah. This is a flash forward to the
• 47:41
  next recording. It's like, how did we do that?
• 47:43
  But yeah. Yeah, fortunately they do.
• 47:47
  The ones I remember. You're true.
• 47:50
  He's the baddest knight in mythos, so he's got to be in the
• 47:52
  chess set. Yeah.
• 47:53
  And how can you not have that head sculpt in the set?
• 47:57
  It's a beautiful beard. It's a beautiful head sculpt.
• 47:59
  So I had to get him in. It's like you were here,
• 48:01
  basically. Yeah, pretty much, and a lot
• 48:04
  less grey. Oh, well, we don't know.
• 48:06
  I mean, what age is Magnus? I mean, you didn't have Gray at
• 48:08
  some point. Pray he's probably about there
• 48:13
  anyway. I always imagine.
• 48:15
  He uses. Maybe he's just for Magnus men.
• 48:18
  I guess I imagine a bit like Chuck Norris.
• 48:20
  So Magnus doesn't go grey, grey goes Magnus.
• 48:27
  He's a dirty girl. OK, then, and for the second
• 48:33
  night, so I went a little bit off piece here and the night to
• 48:37
  me is the sneaky thing. You know, there's no like
• 48:39
  horizontal movements and vertical and diagonal.
• 48:42
  It's like, no, I'm just going to go over.
• 48:44
  I want within reason. They start to nail.
• 48:46
  Yeah, they they start going all over the place.
• 48:48
  So I wanted something sneaky. So I'm with Kai Patcher.
• 48:52
  Oh yeah. So yeah, he's a sneaky little so
• 48:56
  and so moving in all directions, and he strikes when you least
• 48:59
  expect it. Umm, this is probably my
• 49:02
  Neptitude at chess as much as anything that I think.
• 49:04
  Where do that might come from? What the hell?
• 49:06
  Yeah, in one of the original versions of chess, apparently
• 49:11
  the queen also could do the night move as well.
• 49:14
  Oh really? That would No, that would spice
• 49:17
  things up, Yeah. The Queen doing the night always
• 49:19
  spices things up a bit. The Authorian version.
• 49:23
  It is right then. So for my I'll be referring to
• 49:30
  the rooks as castles because that's what I've always called
• 49:32
  them. So base my figures on that.
• 49:34
  So castle number one, it's Fawnus.
• 49:37
  Oh, good one, yeah. So we can literally move the
• 49:39
  walls of Castle Silverhorn. So, you know, and as you say, a
• 49:45
  sturdy tree root type of guy. So he's the first castle and
• 49:49
  then the second castle is the serpent Spire Royal guard.
• 49:54
  They guard things. Castles have guards.
• 49:58
  Oh, that's one of the snakes that we haven't got yet.
• 50:01
  They're an ancient race. Castles generally are ancient.
• 50:06
  Unlike castles, they're appreciated more as they get
• 50:09
  older. They grow tails into their legs.
• 50:11
  Castles send to tourist attractions and people flock
• 50:14
  around them and then the pawns so for.
• 50:18
  The All I know. Can you just imagine that as a
• 50:20
  chesset? How magnificent that back roll.
• 50:23
  It would look like just. You know, so carved grand and
• 50:27
  like kind of, I don't know, ivory or granity looking pieces,
• 50:31
  even wood. Let's be honest of those
• 50:33
  characters. Oh well, I mean, they've done,
• 50:36
  you know, such a good job with the the bottle stoppers.
• 50:39
  Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
• 50:40
  You know, yeah, chess set surely is a the kind of way to go.
• 50:44
  You might even do it in exactly the same style, couldn't you say
• 50:47
  yes rather than yeah, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
• 50:52
  And then for the pawns. So I wanted a uniformed look for
• 50:54
  the good guys. So I went, Oh no, this is good
• 50:57
  guys, sorry. Yeah, yeah.
• 50:58
  So I went for the Templar Knight Legion builder for the first
• 51:01
  half, interspersed with a Templar Relic Guard Legion
• 51:04
  builder. Oh.
• 51:05
  That works you've. Got the crosses, very similar
• 51:08
  helmets, the Reds and the whites and the blacks and silvers, so
• 51:12
  quite a good mix of colours and you know, they're both great
• 51:16
  generic Knights looks as well. So.
• 51:18
  So that is my legions of light chess set.
• 51:21
  Very good would buy it. So that's mere you then, Mel go.
• 51:27
  For it, you can go there, yeah. OK.
• 51:29
  So have some crossover it. So yeah, so which is what?
• 51:33
  About to be there. I think if you listen back, the
• 51:35
  ones that I was most vociferously agreeing with were
• 51:39
  the ones that crossed over and King I've gone with.
• 51:44
  I knew somebody would pick ether on and I don't have him so I
• 51:49
  don't have this one either, but I do.
• 51:51
  I will have him lead this year as I went with.
• 51:53
  For the king he was, he was my second option.
• 51:56
  Yeah, yeah, You know, I mean, love cats.
• 51:58
  He's a big cat and couldn't squeeze Balaam into this set.
• 52:03
  So we've got we've got some. I mean, you could have yes, but
• 52:07
  you know, just the way it was going possibly.
• 52:11
  And Queen agreed with you, rich Zeilona, absolutely the no
• 52:16
  brainer there for the legions of life.
• 52:18
  The queen, I mean, Artemisic was thinking maybe as well, but I
• 52:24
  think Siloam outranks her for me, so that's why I went with
• 52:29
  her. And then Bishop number 1 was
• 52:32
  also a crossover with you, Ignatius, the same kind of
• 52:36
  thinking kind of religiously aspect and big kind of powerful
• 52:43
  looking figure. So, and actually the perfect
• 52:47
  color scheme for the white pieces.
• 52:50
  Anyway, Bishop too, had to get him in here somewhere.
• 52:55
  Lord Bardrick, one of my faves, and I thought he was kind of,
• 53:01
  he's bishopy enough, you know? What do you think?
• 53:05
  Yeah, yeah. It's a good character and I
• 53:08
  think he'd work well in the chess set, but then no way is he
• 53:10
  bishoping maybe. No, no.
• 53:12
  Or he's a cool figure though, and he's got that cool sort of
• 53:16
  like wooden. Oh, that head, head headdress of
• 53:20
  a dress. Sort of thing.
• 53:22
  So that gives it like a sort of, you know.
• 53:24
  And he's Lord, so you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 53:27
  You get a pass on that one, John.
• 53:28
  I'm happy with that. I'd buy.
• 53:29
  I'd buy him. He's.
• 53:30
  Not happy with the Bishop, but yeah, I.
• 53:32
  No, no, I'd buy. I'd buy him as Bishop, but I'm
• 53:34
  not, you know, not criticizing John.
• 53:36
  And for the legions of light, then I thought, they're Knights.
• 53:38
  They have to kind of, you know, they have to work hard here.
• 53:41
  So night number one is Sir Gideon on his horse, Bishop.
• 53:46
  So sticking with the chess team, the knight is a horse.
• 53:51
  But here we have Gideon on Bishop, ironically, not a
• 53:55
  Bishop. You know, maybe that would have
• 53:57
  been the most obvious Bishop to have.
• 54:01
  But Gideon on Bishop, I mean, he's probably one of the best
• 54:05
  night figures we have. And you can say this or that
• 54:09
  about his bio character. I think the Gideon 2 bio
• 54:12
  especially is awesome so. I'll be an amazing looking
• 54:17
  figure. Despite the fact he's in need to
• 54:19
  run, he has to get in there and then if you're.
• 54:23
  Going If you're going for night, fancy nights like that on
• 54:25
  horses, you have to go for the Odysseus as the king just so we
• 54:28
  can tower over them. Yeah, exactly.
• 54:31
  They're so big and so cool. Yeah, exactly.
• 54:33
  Yeah, we don't want to. We don't want the Knights pieces
• 54:38
  on the board and night #2 to balance things out a bit.
• 54:42
  I want to, I want a knight that it's going to kind of get into
• 54:46
  the back, the back ranks of the Legions of Dark kind of, you
• 54:50
  know, catch them unawares. Do ban on Boreas I went for.
• 54:57
  So, you know, he's the Ranger. He can kind of be the one up the
• 55:00
  board, you know, causing havoc while, you know, Gideon is
• 55:05
  standing back and kind of defending other pieces of pawns
• 55:09
  probably. And then we had a Rook #1 So
• 55:14
  I've gone with dwarfs from my rooks.
• 55:16
  That's a. Cool idea.
• 55:18
  You know, that that that kind of just popped out was obvious to
• 55:23
  me and I was hoping that maybe you guys wouldn't go the same
• 55:26
  route to give it a bit of variety.
• 55:28
  So it sounds like we didn't. In any of my.
• 55:30
  Pieces So there you go. So Jordan Jordan rune Shaper is
• 55:36
  my first one first thing first, get a Basilia member in there.
• 55:40
  I mean, you know, so Oh yeah, they had to my favorite faction.
• 55:44
  And two, he's one of the coolest dwarfs, so you know, and he can
• 55:48
  do a little bit of magic. So, you know, who knows, he
• 55:51
  could maybe, eh, instead of just moving up and down and side to
• 55:54
  side, he could maybe do a little sneaky magic move there.
• 55:58
  Some point in the game wins. That's called cheating.
• 56:03
  I didn't say anything, you know, You know, he just wave his, eh,
• 56:06
  Yeah, he's magic. Down chess with John Allegiance
• 56:09
  Connor. Anyway, keep an eye on.
• 56:11
  I used to be very good, so you know.
• 56:14
  I won't be playing chess. Legions cons.
• 56:16
  I've always been bloody useless. Yeah, Sir Valgard, then was my
• 56:23
  other Rook. Ah, Dwarf.
• 56:25
  I went through all the dwarfs from the good guys and I thought
• 56:30
  he was probably cool. And this is where I could have
• 56:32
  gone Noble bear with them. What's his name?
• 56:36
  Helmer, Golden Tooth or Tord. But no, Sir Valgard.
• 56:41
  He's rare. He's awesome.
• 56:44
  He's. Gold.
• 56:47
  Yeah, he's a good one. Yeah.
• 56:49
  And then for Paul? Thanks for bringing back that
• 56:51
  PTSD memory for me again, John. So that's great.
• 56:53
  Yeah, for pawns, could have gone the Templar Knights.
• 56:57
  I didn't want to go any the other nights because we have
• 57:00
  Knights on horses there. So I went for a mixture of
• 57:06
  Xilinian guards and Silverhorn sentries the front there.
• 57:10
  So like that, yeah. So they're going to be, uh,
• 57:16
  doing the porn stuff kind. Of.
• 57:21
  What sort of chest did you used to play a job?
• 57:23
  Place for it. I don't know, you're reading an
• 57:25
  awful lot of innuendo here. I hadn't expected, so you know.
• 57:29
  Anyway, that's my eh, Legions of Light.
• 57:32
  That's another cool. Yeah, I I have to say like then.
• 57:36
  Yeah, I like the idea with this Silanian guard and the silver on
• 57:39
  Sentry too, because they've got different head helmets and
• 57:42
  different except, you know, wings and porn.
• 57:45
  You know, you could, you could actually, although they're the
• 57:47
  same character, you can actually make the pawns a little bit
• 57:48
  different as well. So yeah, I like that.
• 57:50
  Definitely. Yeah, right.
• 57:54
  So my Legions of Light, I actually actively made the
• 57:57
  decision not to include the Great Beasts or the Dark 4 in my
• 58:04
  leadership team. I kind of wanted them to be
• 58:08
  something else, you know? And then so I went with my king,
• 58:12
  the king that we have in Mythos. He might not be my favorite, but
• 58:16
  Attila Leasia. I knew one person would have the
• 58:21
  Dick in there. Yeah, yeah.
• 58:22
  Yeah, he just seemed perfect for that king piece in the middle of
• 58:26
  his head, dress and all that. So.
• 58:27
  I am glad because I've already done the YouTube toenail and I
• 58:30
  did put a teller in there. Probably someone would pick
• 58:34
  it's. Kind of obvious, but again I I
• 58:36
  wanted. To and I yeah, I didn't want to
• 58:39
  pick Lee Odysseus because I thought that was one maybe
• 58:41
  people wouldn't think of yet because it's not out.
• 58:43
  So yeah. Cool.
• 58:46
  The Queen, funnily enough, when you thought about and I think
• 58:50
  she kind of matches with what I'm doing in terms of Attila and
• 58:54
  that's Artemis Silvacord. I'd actually go with the young
• 58:58
  Artemis where she's actually a Princess, but I just think the
• 59:02
  designer, the character I prefer just overall I think she looks
• 59:08
  better. First Bishop Rich and I had the
• 59:12
  same idea. Her serpents by her the same
• 59:16
  reason she looks grand. She looks like she's in
• 59:19
  ceremonial dress. And you know, it would look it
• 59:23
  would look quite dramatic on a board as a as a as that kind of
• 59:28
  character. Bishop too, again, kind of had
• 59:32
  the same idea as you guys, but I went with someone else.
• 59:34
  I went with Gadriel again. Oh nice.
• 59:38
  Yeah, yeah, again, I was thinking the presence on the
• 59:40
  board with the wings and the you know, and again that religious I
• 59:45
  did wonder about a Yosef, but but I just think I don't know.
• 59:50
  I went with a classic I think is and a female.
• 59:54
  I liked that fact that the I've done, you know, A2 female Bishop
• 59:58
  characters. I think, yeah, cool to balance.
• 1:00:00
  No, it's good. Call that Mel.
• 1:00:02
  Yeah, and then when John so my Knights, when John mentioned all
• 1:00:07
  in our chat about oh, you know, I think cool if it's someone on
• 1:00:11
  horseback, I was like, yeah, that actually that would look
• 1:00:15
  awesome as AI mean it would be a giant piece.
• 1:00:17
  But yeah, it's a piece. So my first one was Magnus
• 1:00:23
  Umbalius, the Knight, the old. That was another one of my
• 1:00:27
  choices and I was like, OK, I just have to sacrifice here.
• 1:00:32
  Yeah, I just think, you know, he's we've he's the bad ass,
• 1:00:35
  isn't he? He's the United as I say, he's
• 1:00:37
  missed a knight. He'd be the knight like that.
• 1:00:40
  You've seen that video where where they re enacted something
• 1:00:44
  and the guy on the horse hits the guy dressed as a knight and
• 1:00:47
  knocks him into the middle of next week.
• 1:00:48
  I mean I don't think I even survived him so hard.
• 1:00:51
  But they were trying to show what happens when horse in
• 1:00:53
  armour runs into people dressed in armour.
• 1:00:55
  So I'd imagine that as Magnus he just goes straight through.
• 1:00:58
  Every else is like fighting and it's like plowing through.
• 1:01:01
  Yeah, yeah, this. If this was a chess video game,
• 1:01:05
  Can you imagine the battles when you know Magnus kills a pawn?
• 1:01:12
  Stop at Magnus. He's dead.
• 1:01:14
  He's dead and then the other night I thought this would be a
• 1:01:21
  bit different, kind of cool looking and I get my favorite
• 1:01:24
  figure in there. Atlas on Bodva would be the
• 1:01:28
  second night. That is a good, that is a good
• 1:01:31
  show. You know, even Rich has to admit
• 1:01:34
  that. Even I have to admit that's.
• 1:01:36
  A good it would look striking as a knight character, wouldn't it?
• 1:01:39
  Yeah, yeah, definitely. Then the Rook slash castles I
• 1:01:45
  went with the idea of. So I always think the Rook piece
• 1:01:49
  basically looks like the tower of a castle, doesn't it?
• 1:01:52
  It's that kind of vibe. So big characters didn't want to
• 1:01:56
  go as big as the trolls. So I've first one almost looks
• 1:02:00
  like a walking castle. Serug, Jack.
• 1:02:04
  Yes. Brilliant.
• 1:02:05
  Yeah. And then this one was a bit of a
• 1:02:08
  for who do I go here? So again, I kind of just went
• 1:02:11
  with one of my favourites, but it works.
• 1:02:13
  He's quite on 80's the noble barge set on, you know, you
• 1:02:18
  stick out. Oh yeah.
• 1:02:19
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that works. With the big shield and the
• 1:02:22
  helmet, he just has size to him, doesn't he?
• 1:02:25
  Damn it, Mal, I can't object to either of those household
• 1:02:28
  things. I mean they would look good.
• 1:02:31
  Obviously the the figure is better than noble barge one, but
• 1:02:35
  the name is better. Both or the tower was what I was
• 1:02:38
  thinking when you mentioned but. Yeah, I mean for.
• 1:02:40
  For the castle but but I think the noble barge is a better
• 1:02:43
  figure for. It's more.
• 1:02:44
  What it is you know that dramatic cooler?
• 1:02:47
  Yeah. And then the pawns, based on
• 1:02:51
  sort of what had been said about multiple characters, or well,
• 1:02:54
  Rich had a type, didn't you, rather than an actual character?
• 1:02:57
  Yeah. So it made me think because I'd
• 1:03:00
  originally I'd written the Silver Horn Sentry, but then I
• 1:03:03
  changed it after you'd talked about that.
• 1:03:05
  And I was like the Kings under the mountain.
• 1:03:07
  So we get dwarfs as our little characters.
• 1:03:09
  Yes. And then the Kings of the
• 1:03:12
  Mountains, a set of different bits.
• 1:03:14
  So you have multiple. Characters.
• 1:03:17
  Different types of dwarves. Like that male?
• 1:03:19
  Yeah. So that's one of light set.
• 1:03:22
  That's, I love the idea of the dwarfs being the the pawns of
• 1:03:25
  belittle, Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:03:27
  And I'm quite pleased with that. I think it looked.
• 1:03:28
  Quite I'm so glad that one of us didn't do the legions the light
• 1:03:33
  that they picked the the more kind of regular characters, you
• 1:03:37
  know, the the less super beings, you know, for the king and queen
• 1:03:42
  thought that was cool. Yeah, awesome.
• 1:03:47
  So now we got legions of dark. Now this is where I think things
• 1:03:53
  could go anyway, because I know when I was trying to figure out
• 1:03:57
  mine I was like whoa, I could pick so many things for
• 1:04:00
  different fakers here, so rich. Back to you for this.
• 1:04:05
  Do you want to you 2 want to go? Because I obviously nicked the
• 1:04:07
  limelight last time, didn't I? And then you just go and yes,
• 1:04:09
  I've got. To do it in reverse, then shall
• 1:04:11
  I. Yeah, yeah, if you still have
• 1:04:14
  the energy, let's go. Yes, yeah.
• 1:04:15
  Well, so with my Legions of Dark, there was an element of
• 1:04:20
  balancing it out. And as I say, some of these, a
• 1:04:24
  couple of these I realized aren't actually part of the
• 1:04:28
  Legions of Dark, but for balance and the look across the sets, I
• 1:04:33
  went with them. So King Balance, again, it's his
• 1:04:38
  enemy. It's a bit story driven.
• 1:04:40
  Gorgo Etherblade. Awesome.
• 1:04:43
  Yeah, have to get him in there somewhere.
• 1:04:46
  Yeah, and I think he'd look good again on the board.
• 1:04:50
  And then there was like, who who could play opposite Artemis?
• 1:04:55
  Who who was that? And I was like, well, there's,
• 1:04:58
  I've forgotten the name here and now, but there's the the
• 1:05:01
  vampire. Lucretia.
• 1:05:04
  Lucretia. She'd fit in that, but she
• 1:05:07
  doesn't look quite impressive enough maybe to be that central
• 1:05:11
  character. So I went with Morgolith.
• 1:05:16
  Yeah, great chat. One of the big the leaders and
• 1:05:21
  the headdress adds to that. Or late nature.
• 1:05:23
  Yeah, it does. I mean, she's running the until
• 1:05:27
  Necronominus came back, she was running the show for those guys.
• 1:05:30
  So yeah. You know, and then Bishop one,
• 1:05:35
  this is one of them that isn't strictly legions of dark, but
• 1:05:39
  was kind of a balance and who gives off that hair of vibe in
• 1:05:43
  who's got a more sinister vibe? I thought Aria the talent bearer
• 1:05:48
  would be a good one. Oh.
• 1:05:51
  Yeah. She's got that priestess element
• 1:05:53
  to her as well, you know, gives off the hair of vibe, as I say,
• 1:05:58
  but a bit more evil looking and Sinner.
• 1:06:01
  So we don't know if she is yet really, but.
• 1:06:04
  She's a bad guy, isn't she? Yeah, bad.
• 1:06:07
  The people making the chess piece would love you too Mal
• 1:06:09
  with a small dragon having to go around.
• 1:06:14
  Curving away their little magnifying glass on who?
• 1:06:18
  Who designed this and? Then this is probably in some
• 1:06:21
  ways the weakest, but one of my favorite picks.
• 1:06:25
  And it was like who won Earth? And I was going through though,
• 1:06:28
  and I was like, and then there's a little fat herbologist who is
• 1:06:33
  perfect. So I've gone with Owit sitting
• 1:06:39
  there with his pipe getting stoned.
• 1:06:41
  He'll never move. He's AI thought that would be
• 1:06:46
  quite a fun for that kind of role, you know?
• 1:06:52
  He's getting taken off the board straight away that.
• 1:06:55
  He's forgotten what he's doing, Yeah.
• 1:06:56
  He's trying to play drafts. It's like, no dude.
• 1:07:00
  No, what's happened now is Lord Bushati is just scratching his
• 1:07:03
  head, going wondering why isn't he the king?
• 1:07:08
  That's what's happened here. Right.
• 1:07:11
  And then so the Knights, so I thought they should be again
• 1:07:15
  they said I thought this would be kind of fun.
• 1:07:18
  And then A twist on the horse thing.
• 1:07:21
  So I've gone with the shadow centre for night #1.
• 1:07:26
  Yeah, that is a good show. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:07:28
  I forgot. I kind of forgot about the
• 1:07:30
  centers, actually. They're great shouts for the
• 1:07:33
  nights. And then night #2 is, again,
• 1:07:36
  it's more for the balance and they're not really a legions of
• 1:07:42
  dark character, but I kind of fit it.
• 1:07:46
  And that's Jackal. Iron Bones on is Beyond.
• 1:07:49
  So we've got the opposite of Oh yeah.
• 1:07:52
  From the latest wave. Yeah, from the latest wave.
• 1:07:57
  So we got polar bear. Yeah, you thought about the
• 1:08:00
  symmetry way too much. Well, I would just like that
• 1:08:02
  character who's going in there. That is, that was part of my.
• 1:08:05
  That is part of it. I think that's brilliantly done,
• 1:08:08
  yeah. And then so yeah, Rook cat slash
• 1:08:13
  castle number one for Legions of Dark again, the balance, the
• 1:08:18
  conflict, Barodac. He's the, He's the.
• 1:08:23
  Absolutely. Exactly.
• 1:08:24
  Yeah. Obstacle checks.
• 1:08:26
  A bit boring, perhaps that one, but great.
• 1:08:29
  Yeah, perfect. And then alongside him, the
• 1:08:34
  Frost Ogre as the other rock castle again.
• 1:08:37
  It's another one you could have picked.
• 1:08:39
  There's a bunch room you could pick, but I just thought he
• 1:08:41
  looked a bit more dramatic with the stuff he's wearing compared
• 1:08:45
  to some of the others. So so with with barrel deck,
• 1:08:50
  when when he's kind of in danger and being kind of attacked, you
• 1:08:55
  could just switch out and put the skeleton head in them.
• 1:08:57
  Yeah, yeah. When he's in a nasty fork, you
• 1:09:02
  know the queen. Right.
• 1:09:07
  And then my pawns again. I went with the little
• 1:09:09
  characters way to get goblins in there.
• 1:09:12
  Brilliant. Same idea as the Kings under the
• 1:09:14
  Mountain, the malignancy of Gob Hollow, and you've got all
• 1:09:17
  tools. You could do lots of different
• 1:09:20
  characters with one set. I love this.
• 1:09:22
  I was half expecting this all to end up with the same stuff, so
• 1:09:25
  I'm I'm really impressed the different thought processes
• 1:09:29
  going on here. I'm.
• 1:09:31
  Not sure any of mine were on that list.
• 1:09:33
  That's pretty good, so let's see how we fare with mine.
• 1:09:35
  One was there we go. One of mine is on miles left
• 1:09:38
  here. That's good.
• 1:09:39
  But not as the same piece so. Oh, that's interesting and I
• 1:09:44
  love that. Man.
• 1:09:44
  I'd buy both of those. I'm quite pleased.
• 1:09:48
  It's much better thought outset than mine.
• 1:09:50
  I just like to point out at this at this moment, I am many horses
• 1:09:53
  in mine because originally I was trying to keep them all as just
• 1:09:56
  normal sized pieces since my Legions of light are all just
• 1:10:00
  normal sized. And then I got to the Legions of
• 1:10:03
  Dark and just gave up on that. I got 2 absolute brutes.
• 1:10:06
  There's the castle, so really weird to be like, and then
• 1:10:09
  there's just like this couple of big guys on the end.
• 1:10:11
  So yeah. Right, well in reverse order
• 1:10:15
  it's me then. So legions the Dark for me, King
• 1:10:19
  Arathiranathan. So I didn't get horses into the
• 1:10:23
  Knights this time, but still decided got to get horses in
• 1:10:28
  here somehow. So are they around Nathan?
• 1:10:31
  That fiery sword as well, like raised up, that's that's a
• 1:10:34
  really cool look for chest pace. I mean, the other option there
• 1:10:36
  is, of course, Necronominus on cannabis and both, yeah, yeah.
• 1:10:43
  Yeah, yeah. Bit more mental and and for the
• 1:10:47
  Queen. Can I just say my Dark King is
• 1:10:49
  very different to yours? I love it, I love it.
• 1:10:52
  This be interesting. This is why we podcast you know
• 1:10:55
  we don't all think the same way and for the queen lithium
• 1:11:00
  phobus. So again, obvious but works with
• 1:11:03
  our theorem 8th on lithium Phob I I do wonder how they would
• 1:11:07
  really get on together in reality, but.
• 1:11:13
  He'd burn a lips a lot. I think it's bad to say.
• 1:11:16
  She'd be like trying to bite him.
• 1:11:17
  He's like. Ah, I don't like my meat cooked
• 1:11:23
  spicy, right. And Bishop #1 Arzak, evil wizard
• 1:11:34
  Bishop. I think that works.
• 1:11:36
  And he's a cool character and I think one of, in hindsight,
• 1:11:42
  probably one of the best figures out of the boxes Wave when I
• 1:11:45
  look back in it. Definitely my favorite wizard
• 1:11:49
  now, even though. Yeah, no, I think he is.
• 1:11:53
  Yeah, he's just cool. And comes the last of Bishop
• 1:11:58
  number 2. Not over to the Skelly's again.
• 1:12:03
  Cloaked, hooded Maxillius the Harvester.
• 1:12:07
  He's doing reaping. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:12:10
  Yeah. Really good.
• 1:12:11
  You wouldn't want to, you wouldn't want to sacrifice him
• 1:12:14
  early in the game if you were playing the chess pieces, you
• 1:12:16
  know, because you just think, no, I need, I need Maxillius on
• 1:12:19
  my side for. And again, you got him stood
• 1:12:22
  there with a big size. Yeah, just for that impact.
• 1:12:24
  Yeah. That's great piece, John Oliver.
• 1:12:27
  Night #1 So thinking, right? If you think of Lord of the
• 1:12:32
  Rings, who are the kind of bad guys and how do you get them
• 1:12:34
  into this jet chess set? 4th Hog.
• 1:12:37
  Bjork got to get an orc in here somewhere.
• 1:12:41
  So I think 4th Ox probably my favorite.
• 1:12:44
  Don't have our sock. So that's probably why he's my
• 1:12:48
  favorite. I think he's probably still a
• 1:12:50
  better figure than Erzak, but Herzog is super rare now and I
• 1:12:54
  think version 2 Erzak will be better than Fourthag probably,
• 1:12:58
  but more thug is general I think the equivalent of the evil
• 1:13:03
  version of a knight. So yeah, he doesn't have a horse
• 1:13:06
  to go on, but he doesn't need one.
• 1:13:09
  Yeah. And he certainly doesn't need a
• 1:13:12
  horse. When he has Knight, he's buddy
• 1:13:14
  Knight. Maybe defending him or attacking
• 1:13:18
  with them. More likely Gore go out to blade
• 1:13:22
  as night #2 so Mal had him as his king, which I fully support
• 1:13:28
  given the the the way Mal was, you know the logic he was using
• 1:13:32
  with his sets. But I was able to get Gore go in
• 1:13:36
  there and that's a lesser piece but still right?
• 1:13:41
  Rooks castles sticking on the dwarf team.
• 1:13:46
  Who do you think? Rook #1 Scally Bones splitter.
• 1:13:51
  Yeah. He's not, he's not as kind of
• 1:13:55
  tankish as the other dwarfs, but he's evil.
• 1:13:58
  He's a skeleton. Yeah.
• 1:14:00
  He's going to do some damaging dead.
• 1:14:04
  And for Rook #2 we've got another king in there.
• 1:14:07
  King Brandon. Yeah.
• 1:14:09
  Perfect choice for. That one of my one of my faves.
• 1:14:13
  Brilliant figure. And so that's that, that's the
• 1:14:18
  back row. And then the pawns a bit left
• 1:14:22
  field. They're they're legion builders,
• 1:14:24
  but you wouldn't think of them as legion builders.
• 1:14:27
  So my pawns are going to be Vargs and bug goblins.
• 1:14:32
  I like that. Yeah.
• 1:14:33
  Yeah, that we went. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:35
  So we got fags and bug goblins. So I got goblin in there
• 1:14:39
  somehow. My favorite government,
• 1:14:40
  actually. The bug goblin alone.
• 1:14:41
  That's cool, Very cool ones. So there's my pawns.
• 1:14:46
  I have one of your characters as well.
• 1:14:48
  So I'm going to sit back and enjoy the the rich legions of
• 1:14:55
  Dark. There's definitely a Vampire
• 1:14:56
  Knight in there somewhere, that's all I'd say.
• 1:14:59
  I can confirm there is. Spoiler alert.
• 1:15:03
  Yeah, so my king choice for the Legions of Dark may actually put
• 1:15:08
  people off buying the set, but I'm very happy with this.
• 1:15:11
  So it's King Noglin. That's cool.
• 1:15:14
  Wow, I like that. No one would have any idea how
• 1:15:17
  we got game that powerful. Be like on the hell.
• 1:15:21
  It's a goblin, but he's got that happy little grin going.
• 1:15:23
  Yeah, I'm the king. Look at me.
• 1:15:25
  On a on a stairs diorama is it? Yeah, basically that would be
• 1:15:32
  good. And also, he very much relies on
• 1:15:34
  others for protection. Nagaland.
• 1:15:35
  So that's what the King's role is on chess.
• 1:15:37
  He's just like. True, true.
• 1:15:39
  The king isn't really an alpha in chess.
• 1:15:41
  Yeah, what's true? Wasn't in the 1000 Squigs story,
• 1:15:45
  wasn't he seated on a huge seated seated on a huge throne?
• 1:15:50
  So Oh yeah. So you couldn't like goblins
• 1:15:53
  stretched out? And they still have 1000 Squigs
• 1:15:56
  to sell on. John, I've just realized I got 2
• 1:16:01
  the same issue. Alethia is my queen, yeah, and
• 1:16:06
  super powerful so, but yeah, I had to get her.
• 1:16:09
  In well, it's not the same because I had her sitting on
• 1:16:11
  Phobus. You didn't weren't that smart.
• 1:16:13
  At this point I was, I was all trying to keep her from the same
• 1:16:15
  height on this point. And then my other duplicate of
• 1:16:19
  you, John is Bishop and the one Arzak.
• 1:16:23
  You know, it's got that big cloak and all that, as you said.
• 1:16:25
  And you tend to see in films and books that bishops flip flop
• 1:16:28
  from side to side. They're like, I'm a good guy.
• 1:16:31
  No, I'm not I'm evil. And, you know, Arizac did the
• 1:16:33
  both. So I thought that would.
• 1:16:36
  My second Bishop is Morgolith. Very fancy headgear.
• 1:16:42
  You know, flowing ropes. I love to get a big powerful
• 1:16:46
  character in there as one of the kind of mid ranks.
• 1:16:48
  That's brilliant. Yeah, First Knight Spoiler is a
• 1:16:53
  vampire knight. It's got Knight in his name.
• 1:16:58
  I had, I had them down as pawns, so yeah.
• 1:17:01
  And it's my favorite figure, so still until this Batar comes.
• 1:17:05
  So yeah, it's in there. And then Next up, and I'm going
• 1:17:12
  to say this is to give some sort of balance in the shape of the
• 1:17:14
  figures. But it's it's not.
• 1:17:15
  I just picked it the other night is Grisha.
• 1:17:20
  Right. Be cool.
• 1:17:21
  That's cool. Again, this is this is my sneaky
• 1:17:23
  move, Silent but deadly you. Know, yeah.
• 1:17:28
  Yeah, basically. And then at this point I gave up
• 1:17:32
  on my keep everything the same scale idea, and we got some
• 1:17:35
  castles. So my first castle is
• 1:17:39
  Archimedes. He's a builder and master
• 1:17:42
  Craftsman, you know, he would build big things like castles
• 1:17:46
  and that sort of stuff, and he's huge, so.
• 1:17:50
  And he's not going to. He's a long forgotten figure at
• 1:17:52
  this point, but he's super underrated.
• 1:17:55
  Really good and I will have an amazingly painted head to go on
• 1:17:59
  him at Legions Gone for sale if anyone's interested.
• 1:18:02
  Presume the parcel will get lost in the way to Anthony.
• 1:18:04
  But. Cross that bridge when we come
• 1:18:08
  to. Exactly.
• 1:18:08
  Yeah, and then my other castle is as a hazer again.
• 1:18:14
  Wow. Once I'd once I'd gone for an
• 1:18:18
  ogre scale. Is that what I meant to go for
• 1:18:19
  another? Yeah, I didn't want anything
• 1:18:20
  armoured. Because armoured.
• 1:18:24
  No, I'd already had already had three vampires down on my list.
• 1:18:27
  I was trying to limit it. So you.
• 1:18:30
  Got too much blood on the board, do you it?
• 1:18:32
  Gets flippy. People have fallen over.
• 1:18:35
  Just may have. Can't see the squares anymore.
• 1:18:38
  Exactly. I also really like with him the
• 1:18:40
  idea like the just the big demon horns.
• 1:18:42
  I think that's just an imposing sort of look on the board as
• 1:18:45
  well. So he'd be good.
• 1:18:47
  And then for my pawns, I've gone for the vampire phalanx legion
• 1:18:49
  builder. For the first one, I wanted
• 1:18:53
  something very generic and it's black, so it fits in with the
• 1:18:55
  legions of dark look as well and he's a vampire.
• 1:19:00
  And then for the other one, and this is what I was talking
• 1:19:02
  about, type smell, I went for the skeleton Raider.
• 1:19:06
  Right. OK.
• 1:19:06
  Yeah, yeah. Which to me is like it's, you
• 1:19:10
  know, it's straight out of Jason and the Argonauts.
• 1:19:12
  It's a Harry house and skeleton and I absolutely love it because
• 1:19:14
  a lot, you know, and you need skeletons on the board.
• 1:19:18
  You need a lumbering skeletons as a lot of things.
• 1:19:22
  So that's my. I was very close to getting a
• 1:19:25
  skeleton Raider in there somewhere, but I'm glad you got
• 1:19:28
  him in also. I mean, I buy all three of those
• 1:19:32
  and it just shows you the scope. Like when there is bucket loads
• 1:19:35
  of legions characters and some of them are more obvious than
• 1:19:38
  others. Obviously, like the king and
• 1:19:41
  Queens that I chose are quite obvious.
• 1:19:44
  But you can do what Mal did and you can say, right, I'm taking
• 1:19:47
  out the the kind of the other beings and sticking more to the
• 1:19:54
  kind of people on the ground. Love it.
• 1:20:00
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:20:01
  So there you go. Mythically.
• 1:20:02
  Yeah, no, I. Guess there's.
• 1:20:04
  Aesthetically looks much better than mine so I'd buy miles but
• 1:20:09
  they're all good. No, no, I think they're all
• 1:20:11
  excellent. I really like the dwarves as the
• 1:20:13
  castles, as the rooks. Yeah.
• 1:20:16
  Yeah, I think I hit gold there with that one, Yeah, at least.
• 1:20:21
  I didn't think of the little guys as the pawns, so I let
• 1:20:24
  myself down there, but there we go.
• 1:20:28
  Yeah, but we covered it as the three, you know, exactly.
• 1:20:30
  You know, we all have our own strengths and weaknesses and we
• 1:20:36
  covered them all. All right, guys.
• 1:20:39
  Well, do we have any more we want to say this week or?
• 1:20:42
  My All Stars 6 arrived earlier today and I was so tired when
• 1:20:45
  I'm from work not only I forgot the box was here so I'll be
• 1:20:49
  opening those at the weekend. I've got 2 insane days of work
• 1:20:53
  coming up, one of which I'm away for as well, so this weekend I'm
• 1:20:57
  going to have a lot of fun playing with some All Stars 6
• 1:20:59
  figures. And you haven't had them in hand
• 1:21:04
  yet, have you? I've not noticed this will be my
• 1:21:06
  this will be my first first time in hand.
• 1:21:08
  So I got an all in and then I got two extra Siri knocks and
• 1:21:12
  two extra Sir Andrews. So I I just took my hand in the
• 1:21:19
  box, I just opened my box. You know the of extras that they
• 1:21:22
  got and the first thing I put out.
• 1:21:24
  This is like listening to Steve for Shotty the First.
• 1:21:27
  Thing the first thing I put out is the weapons packs is I get 1
• 1:21:31
  you know that's fine you're the the belt packs what over there,
• 1:21:33
  so I'm glad they got extra those.
• 1:21:35
  Do you like that noise great. So who have I got first look at
• 1:21:39
  that? Oh, nice, nice.
• 1:21:42
  He is very, very cool. He's such a good figure.
• 1:21:46
  Yeah. I'm going to try and.
• 1:21:48
  I think. Was he the one you were looking
• 1:21:50
  for extras of now? Yeah, yeah, I'd be happy if
• 1:21:52
  you've got one extra you can spare.
• 1:21:54
  Well, I'll buy him off you. To be fair, I've got a big box
• 1:21:57
  of extras here that really don't need to sell, but I'm not going
• 1:22:02
  to sell them all. I definitely think I have a
• 1:22:04
  couple of customs ideas with those because the parts are
• 1:22:07
  great, but I'm very happy to get a night into your hands.
• 1:22:12
  No, that's. What that's what it is with
• 1:22:13
  e-mail are. They sold out there.
• 1:22:16
  Umm, I can't remember but. No, Enoch.
• 1:22:19
  Well, it was up until recently. We're still available on
• 1:22:22
  Emporium. I didn't even look because of.
• 1:22:25
  The price of. Them is so.
• 1:22:26
  Yeah, they're too. I am.
• 1:22:27
  Yeah, but individually they are more so than the all in.
• 1:22:33
  But yeah, I've got an extra of him, but I've already got a plan
• 1:22:35
  for that. So it'd be nice to have another
• 1:22:38
  one that if I get another idea in the future, it's you.
• 1:22:42
  Know any spateful it's? Just so.
• 1:22:44
  Great figure. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:22:45
  So I've got a an extra surrender.
• 1:22:48
  I got 2 terraces, definitely custom coming with one of those
• 1:22:52
  we can. Have the one dead one on squint
• 1:22:54
  lens dealt with him? Oh yeah, true.
• 1:22:56
  Yeah, yeah, it's sticking with your bio.
• 1:22:58
  Yeah. And eh, got an extra core talk.
• 1:23:06
  I don't know why, but in a way I do know why.
• 1:23:08
  Because he's an Army builder as well, if he's to their head.
• 1:23:10
  Yeah. And yeah, a few of the ones.
• 1:23:15
  Oh, I have the shooter. It's so bad.
• 1:23:19
  You ordered these things so long ago and you remember an extra
• 1:23:22
  Sir Ignatius. I wonder why I ordered that.
• 1:23:24
  I suppose because they didn't have an extra scally bones
• 1:23:27
  spitter. That's good.
• 1:23:28
  It's. A good one, yeah.
• 1:23:29
  Yeah, and two Siri knock. Oh good.
• 1:23:35
  Nice. And the bells packs.
• 1:23:37
  Happy days, Yeah. My plan is to pick up some more
• 1:23:41
  extras of a lot of these legions.
• 1:23:44
  Con has to be said. Yeah.
• 1:23:46
  This rate I might have to buy another Bureau lift completely
• 1:23:49
  unrelated and a few but my colleague she has just decided
• 1:23:53
  she does not want to stand up all of a sudden she's.
• 1:23:56
  Well, why is that rich? 2.0 ankles.
• 1:24:01
  She's she's been absolutely fine.
• 1:24:03
  And then like a couple of weeks ago, last week, whatever it was
• 1:24:06
  when we were, the weather was a bit hot suddenly I heard ago.
• 1:24:09
  So I went to look and put her up and she she just will not stand
• 1:24:12
  up anymore. I don't know what it's like
• 1:24:13
  stick. Her in the freezer for an hour.
• 1:24:15
  It probably is what I need to do because even though it's cooler
• 1:24:19
  now, it's still a bit muggy and. Yeah, and I without getting on
• 1:24:23
  around about 2.0 ankles, but I found once they do go, even if
• 1:24:27
  you use like figure stands and that sort of thing, they just
• 1:24:29
  they're just not strong enough. They'll just take the stands
• 1:24:32
  over as well unless it's a really heavy stand.
• 1:24:34
  It's not a bad one to have a second one of anyways it is for
• 1:24:37
  parts, so if I do decide to do. That just the accessories and
• 1:24:40
  that that chimera. Chimera.
• 1:24:44
  Yeah. Well done, John.
• 1:24:46
  It's like bit my tongue in 1/2. Well, well done, Padawan.
• 1:24:50
  You're learning. I'm trying rich every day.
• 1:24:53
  I'm trying to be better. Just before we we go, can I do a
• 1:24:57
  shout out something I'm very excited about?
• 1:25:00
  Yeah, Corsair creations on Instagram.
• 1:25:05
  They are doing a pirate themed line called Realms of the Black
• 1:25:12
  Tide. Oh yes.
• 1:25:14
  The Four Horsemen have been involved in helping them sculpt
• 1:25:18
  and design the characters and it will be going up on Kickstarter
• 1:25:22
  very soon. First Wave.
• 1:25:26
  I assume that you know first funding Wave that I don't know
• 1:25:30
  if they'll unlock anything. I've not spoken to anyone, this
• 1:25:33
  is just me excited about something that I've seen.
• 1:25:37
  First Wave is going to be 3 captains, one of whom is human
• 1:25:42
  called Captain Alistair Morningstar, one of whom of whom
• 1:25:48
  is a skeletal captain who's Captain Algol Death Mould and
• 1:25:55
  then a squid Cthulhu esque captain called Captain Caribtus.
• 1:26:02
  And all three of them are just about absolute winning, Awesome
• 1:26:05
  looking characters. I think you can see that from
• 1:26:10
  the designs and the the joint style and all that that the
• 1:26:13
  horsemen have been involved. It's very there's some very, you
• 1:26:17
  know, horsemen esque articulation in there, and I
• 1:26:22
  think they just look amazing. So I think I I everyone take a
• 1:26:26
  look at it. I think they look amazing back
• 1:26:29
  it because we need these made. I'll be back in.
• 1:26:33
  I think these look absolutely superb.
• 1:26:35
  I'd be. Very interested to see what the
• 1:26:38
  unlocks are because they do look great but there's only three and
• 1:26:41
  it's like, well you need more than three you know?
• 1:26:44
  This Captain Cara does here, Rich.
• 1:26:49
  That's yeah, that's up your street now.
• 1:26:51
  Oh, all over that. And have you seen his like his
• 1:26:55
  hands have got little suckers on them as well.
• 1:26:58
  Yeah. They're so good.
• 1:27:01
  Have they said how big they are, Mal?
• 1:27:03
  Are they like a bit bigger than 112?
• 1:27:05
  So more in line with the. Horsemen.
• 1:27:08
  Yeah. I mean, I don't think they
• 1:27:10
  actually specify anywhere, but they do look like I'm.
• 1:27:13
  Just thinking if they if they come with hands packs or extra
• 1:27:15
  hands then there's a good chance some of those will find the way
• 1:27:17
  to legions figures. Yeah, well, and they, I feel
• 1:27:20
  like, as I say, certain joints on it look very legion, like
• 1:27:24
  certain articulation. Oh yeah, there's extra hands.
• 1:27:28
  And bands, yeah. So, yeah.
• 1:27:32
  So could be something that parts will be compatible, not not
• 1:27:37
  exactly and might require a bit of tweaking, but could be with a
• 1:27:41
  bit of fiddling, compatible with the allegiance as well.
• 1:27:44
  Yeah, but now these are great. When does the Kickstarter launch
• 1:27:47
  Mal? They have put something up just
• 1:27:50
  today, but I don't think that landing page is on its way, so I
• 1:27:54
  want to. OK, Yes, no, these look amazing.
• 1:27:59
  Yeah. I, I, I mean again, they don't
• 1:28:02
  really say what what site they're going to be on display
• 1:28:04
  at Legions con the prototypes will be at Legions as well.
• 1:28:08
  So that'll definitely. Nice.
• 1:28:10
  We'll try and get some nice pictures of them to to put up on
• 1:28:13
  our page as well. I'm sad I've not been as excited
• 1:28:16
  about a reveal of a potential toy line for a while.
• 1:28:20
  You know? I mean, I love legions.
• 1:28:21
  I mean, to them, they are rooted there.
• 1:28:25
  They're going nowhere. But I saw these like holy cow
• 1:28:27
  they look good. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:28:29
  And it helps that I just, as I said to you guys, done a rewatch
• 1:28:33
  just coincidentally, of all the Pirates of the Caribbean films,
• 1:28:37
  and he's like, wow. You're right in the Wheelers
• 1:28:41
  area. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:28:43
  Well, when I got home today I was because I was knackered.
• 1:28:46
  I took him like watching stuff. I was like, right, I just need
• 1:28:49
  to watch a series that I don't need to concentrate on too much.
• 1:28:51
  So I started watching Twisted Metal.
• 1:28:54
  Oh yes. The live action one, which I've
• 1:28:56
  not seen before. Watch the first 3.
• 1:28:57
  I loved it. It was really good.
• 1:28:59
  Fantastic. Isn't it really?
• 1:29:00
  Auntie Mackie's great, absolutely great in it.
• 1:29:02
  And that's, yeah, I really like it.
• 1:29:04
  And Kerry likes it too. So the two of us are watching it
• 1:29:06
  together. I was like, I didn't think you'd
• 1:29:08
  like this. And she's like, there's just
• 1:29:09
  something about it. It just, it's worked really
• 1:29:11
  well. Yeah.
• 1:29:12
  It's really good. It's based on the computer game
• 1:29:15
  John, the post Post apocalyptic computer game.
• 1:29:17
  So yeah. I'm sure you played it.
• 1:29:21
  I haven't. I'm not a gamer.
• 1:29:22
  Particularly so, I know, I know it's, but yeah, yeah.
• 1:29:25
  But it was it was more of a driving game than anything made.
• 1:29:28
  Oh, was it? Yeah, OK.
• 1:29:30
  Destruction Derby style sort of thing, but right, Isn't that
• 1:29:34
  really, is it? Yeah.
• 1:29:37
  One last bit of toy news before we go.
• 1:29:38
  It'll drag us over the hour and a half mark.
• 1:29:42
  I messaged you guys the other day saying I'd gone in for the
• 1:29:44
  Hazlab Snowcat. Finally, I am now no longer
• 1:29:48
  going in for the Hazlab snow cap because everyone else can't
• 1:29:50
  afford it. So they didn't take my money
• 1:29:53
  that they had a glitch at their end, so when they come to try
• 1:29:55
  and take the money it'd just be a no.
• 1:29:57
  OK, so you just. Yeah, I might double checked and
• 1:30:01
  you can cancel anyway sort of thing.
• 1:30:03
  But they, yeah, they sent an e-mail out to everybody going,
• 1:30:04
  yeah, our system's messed up. We haven't taken any money.
• 1:30:08
  So I just decided as much as I love it and I said it was 1
• 1:30:11
  vehicle I'd get as a haz lab. No time and money just done for
• 1:30:15
  me so. Fair enough.
• 1:30:16
  It is pricey. I yeah, I was surprised.
• 1:30:19
  I was surprised you went for it, to be honest.
• 1:30:21
  Yeah. So, no.
• 1:30:22
  So common sense, very unusually for me, has prevailed.
• 1:30:26
  Well, I, as I said to you at the same sort of time as you were
• 1:30:29
  talking about that is I decided against back in the snake Claire
• 1:30:34
  from Mattel. It looks like they're going to
• 1:30:38
  it's going to fund by the looks of it, it's something like 50
• 1:30:41
  off funding this point and I just can't, I don't there's just
• 1:30:46
  not it's going to cut. It would cost £335.
• 1:30:50
  That's not including shipping. I don't see where the they're
• 1:30:54
  getting £335 worth of value in in in what they're doing so.
• 1:30:59
  Even with accessories the snow cat was the same.
• 1:31:02
  To be honest, it was like £330 and it's like you, you can't
• 1:31:05
  justify that. Yes, there's some lights that
• 1:31:07
  flash on it and that sort of stuff.
• 1:31:09
  But it's, you know, at the end of the day it's, it's a lot of
• 1:31:11
  not particularly painted plastic.
• 1:31:14
  It's, you know, you can't justify that sort of money for
• 1:31:17
  it. I do feel there was more value
• 1:31:19
  in the snow cat and the detail and the size and all that than
• 1:31:23
  whereas, yeah. But yeah, I can understand why
• 1:31:25
  you'd change your mind as well though, so yeah.
• 1:31:31
  Very good. Yeah.
• 1:31:33
  What's not very good? Our friend in the community,
• 1:31:36
  Scott Ball, he got a very tough cancer diagnosis.
• 1:31:39
  Well, cancer kind of prognosis this week.
• 1:31:43
  So thinking to you, Scott, hopefully things turn out better
• 1:31:47
  than the doctors say, and hopefully you managed to fight
• 1:31:53
  through it. But yeah, tough times at the
• 1:31:56
  moment for Scott. So everyone in the community is
• 1:31:59
  thinking of us, of him, including us.
• 1:32:02
  So I just wanted to shout that out.
• 1:32:04
  I meant to do it at the start, but the start of these shows
• 1:32:09
  kind of sometimes goes a bit the way it goes.
• 1:32:12
  So anyway, got it in there, Scott.
• 1:32:15
  Hopefully if you are listening to us and or someone tells you
• 1:32:21
  that we shouted Joe, she can at least take some comfort that
• 1:32:25
  there's people around the world pulling for you.
• 1:32:27
  So, you know, that's about Buddy, you know, O, that's it
• 1:32:31
  now. So I don't know how to end the
• 1:32:33
  show after that, but we'll try.
