Are we talking about the same thing here? Warlord and GW are two different companies, thus Contrast paint has nothing to do with Warlord.

In Sean's defense I don't think he was conflating the two companies - the speculation was whether Warlord needed the funding and Sean pointed out that even GW were struggling and only Contrast paint helped restore liquidity.....

Of course, Stallard and Sawyer are ex-GW employees which blurs the connections in people's minds. Foundry used to get the same conflation with GW due to CEO and designers.....

Thank you Neil. No conflation...just relatable circumstances.

Don't think I can manage 2+ hours of that.

Interesting but the schoolboy smutty innuendo got a bit wearing after a short time.

I suppose they pitch it to the level of their target audience.
I got a bit lost when they use "in vocabluary".
I did notice that they introduced "symbol on the 6"  many years after PP  (2003).

Both Warlord and GW use very off-putting hyperbole, which is indeed a real turn off for me. I also find a lot of GW artwork a bit like I used to see frequently in 15 and 16 year olds' art classes  - the disturbed, over-active angst mind (which probably tells us something about the target audience). Yet another real turn-off for someone my age.
