It’s OTTWeekender Time! In this week’s Weekender we have a chat about a 90s old-school gaming classic that could end up helping is relive the 90s and that epic wargaming magic. Could Urban War help us relive it today in the here and now? We also take a look at an immense range of miniatures from SolGood Creations over on Kickstarter that should be a collector’s dream!
Did you play the original Urban War and if not, could you be tempted by these re-released miniatures to see if they can help you recapture that magic? With a new edition in the works and all of the classic 90s miniatures to pick up, this is a great time to dive in and relive the action or perhaps start fresh!

2 giveaways!!
Just adding to the Urban War fun, they came in VHS tape "looking" boxes. I had 2nd edition and it was the very first game I ever bought anything for ever. They came to a show in Kirriemuir in Scotland and my auld man took me in the early '00s.
Also, they have released 2 starter sets,
Junkers Vs Viridians was released this week
Great show
Urban War WOOOOHOOOO
Sunday morning…& my weekend starts now😂…..
Oathmark elf cavalry look amazing, even though I don't like elves. Silver bayonet Canadian minis look great. Be grabbing that for sure!
I wonder if in fuzzy Justin head he meant American Warships a cashin film around the the same time as Battleship, and a few others, Bermuda Tentacles with Linda Hamilton is interesting!
So the Urban War minis were originally made by a Scottish company called i-Kore games, and they originally came out in 2000 for a game called Void. IIRC Void's development team were the guys who made the original Mutant Chronicles Warzone game and ported the core game concepts to Void after Target Games folded. When I-Kore in turn folded around 2004 the Void IP wound up with Urban Mammoth/Grendel who reissued them as Urban War. IIRC at one point Grendel were selling those modular Hexagon and Platformer terrain sets that were everywhere in the 2000s in the Urban War line.
Great show as always 👍. Re. the Warlord Games Epic Pike & Shotte: despite the funny size given by WG (13.5mm) these figures fit perfectly with several 15mm ranges – particularly the ‘smaller’ of the ranges. In particular Steel Fist Miniatures do a fabulous ECW range in 15mm and, when painted, are indistinguishable from the WG Epic stuff. Steel Fist are lovely minis to boot, and a great way to compliment the Epic stuff, to give you more variety.
Sweet Christmas, those minis from Urban War are a throwback! I went and checked out the Scotia Grendel website. I don't recall seeing that game in Oz, but the style of the minis takes me back!
Back in the days, for my was too expansive buy from England for the import tax and expedition cost… maybe this is the right time for finally paint some Viridian guys!
Rampart product is amazing. I've missed looking over their site for too long!
At non stuff is great. Rampart is perfect for skirmish games and soon they will show off prepared terrain.
Cool prizes from Archon Studios!
Great stuff again guys
sci-fi ruins my friend would love it … that SolGood Kickstarter I don't have a printer and would consider it
Thanks for the show!!! I’d love some of that terrain goodness
Good show as always! 👍
Rock duvet made me chuckle
That terrain set from Archon looks treemendous…
Final Countdown!
Love Dungeon and LazArs range . Have several lots super detailed great to paint
Me getting stl and helping ukraine against Putin. Win.
Do like the Rampart terrain.
Love this week's prizes. Would love to get the Elven terrain
Hex based Napoleonics? Can’t wait to see it.
great terrain kits
That STL collection is so big I'm struggling to make sense of it all!
STL files seems to me a great format for charity. It makes the collaborations like the Battle Cries KS so easy and meaningful for artists. Thanks for this compilation and discoveries!
So much stuff it has taken me 4 days to watch the video
Great show!! Have a good weekender
I actually like a lot of the Christmas battleforces more than usual this year
Only Just seen this. That teraain looks Lush!
Really want that massive tower!
Another great show as always. The Archon Studios stuff looks interesting, the Kazumi Temple would be great for some Indiana Jones-style pulp miniatures I've been working on.
53:50 I'm pretty sure Gerry is thinking of The Final Countdown. F-14s and Zeroes. What's not to love?
Archon studio’s website here I come. Thanks guys!
Finally geting back into the hobby! good start for it
The Archon stuff just looks so versatile it could be used in most modern, sci-fi and post apocalyptic stuff.
Warlord's Epic Pike & Shotte are true 15mm (foot to top of head). They mix well with older ranges of figures designed before all the scale creep since the 1980s
Good god
I have those
Lol
Archon's Dungeons and Lasers campaigns are such a guilty pleasure. I have so much from them still boxed up and untouched but still can't resist backing every one because they end up being such good value for the amount of content.
I love the return of Urban War. It’s one of those games I hoped to get.
