BOW moved a few months ago. In their move to Kent, Darrel seemed to stay behind. Yes, he made some visits, but hasn't been on many videos in the last few months.

Hey man they moved to Essex. Big difference. One is the garden of England and the other is a latrine north of London

BOW went downhill after the guy John left, he was the guy who knew tons about WW2 and 40k and was a better painter than what they have now. He was much easier to follow and easier to listen to than Romain's awkward silences.
Fair play to Darrell for starting this, but it's a lost cause, he is a good tournament player, but doesn't know much beyond Space Puppies.

Yeah, really liked John, he did great painting tuts when they were still free for all to see.

i kind of liked a few of his ideas,especially playing live games.But what would be kool is playing via webcam.But he really needs a staff of people for all of the other games out their. Especially all of the Historical Wargamers,more people are leaving the GW games and playing them.
He has also inspired me to start my own kickstarter up. i think i will call it three drunk guys in gargage Wargaming.... Featuring Flames of war,Blood bowl, 40k and Fantasy.
ahh.. what the heck i think illl throw him a fiver,if things go the worst for him atleast he can get a couple pints.

Brettz, I too have a dream. I have a dream in which you send me $50, which I spend wholly on lemonheads candy.

Help me realize my dream, Brettz.

SOLD! Where do I send the money?

If he sent us a photo Doing what Danny Devito for advertisement billboard I would send him some money.

2 gorgeous girls, giant cans and Darrel in the middle with his thumbs up.

Beasts of War is just a shopping channel for Wayland games now.

And he lost 40 GBP since I last looked, now 102 GBP.

I have a feeling this will turn to be just like miniwargaming.....possibly go good for a little while but then charge a subscription fee to watch anything.

No need to worry about subscription fees on youtube, always plenty of batreps there too. Oh and as for live....meh, time zone problems, long drawn out turns with no fast forward or skip ahead.

Beasts of War is probably worse for this subscription thing. At least you gets downloadable DVDs from MWG.

Cancelled. Such a shame, showed great potential.

I think it's still doing a good job realizing its greatest potential - as a textbook example of how not to run a Kickstarter.

No! It can't be cancelled now, I wanted my phone call!

Maybe this will knock his completely unjustified arrogance levels down a bit. Him and the remaining BoW people all came across as complete spankers. Apart from the ginger guy with the beard, he seemed alright.

Hmmm, I have not taken much more than a glance at BoW in a fairly long while.

Mostly... it comes down to their extremely non-critical reviews.

Everything is always excellent....

This does not endear sites such as IGN to me nor did I like it all that much on BoW. I want critiques with teeth, that point out the bad as well as the good.

Darrel... at least had the spine to say when he did not like something (Finecast!).

I wish Darrel luck.

I blame the competing lemonhead kickstarter people keep talking about. I hear their next stretch goal was a pack of warheads with each 25+ GBP pledge.

As this project has been cancelled, I think we can safely lock this thread.
