Our latest battle report should now be posted on YouTube, a recent game between an inexperienced Separatist and my Empire force. Very interesting battle that definitely shifted a few times over the course of the game and did not end how I expected it. This marks game 4 of our recent trend, with game 5 set for next week. Hoping to be able to continue releasing a game session battle report every week, though potentially will mix it up with the Armada or X-Wing at some point as well. YouTube

It seems that our recent content for Star Wars Legion is rather successful. Not breaking any major milestones yet, but the videos are far more popular than our ongoing RPG sessions. Won’t be stopping those anytime soon, but certainly pivoting for more wargaming content. Legion tends to be more time consuming – the games are a bit shorter, but the editing process is quite a bit more intensive. However, the recent surge in subscribers is definitely encouraging. YouTube With that in mind, consider a like and subscribe on the YouTube channel, and help us grow the community. I am edging…

Continuing the effort to craft a terrain board with a Hoth theme, and so far, the hills and rocks seem to be working well. I settled on a recipe for the grout mixture, which makes it fairly easy to mold. I suspect due to the filler material I add it causes the drying time to be much longer than originally (the fibers hold on to the moisture), but in general it looks pretty good. My next step is to spray down the surface with a PVA/water slurry, to harden and protect the surface. Then I plan on a layer of…

Going to be a bit of disruption in our regular gaming schedule over the next week or two, due to Band Camp commitments with several of our players. As such, the Carrion Crown campaign is being postponed this weekend, and the Enemy Within campaign next week will be similarly delayed. In place of those streams, we will be trying to fit in a number of Legion games instead. Hopefully this gives me a backlog of sessions to post and lets us fill the time easily – plus gives the opportunity for other players to get in on the action. As…

Latest episode of our Extinction Curse campaign should be posted now at the below link. The group continues to explore Xul-Khundar in the Black Desert, searching for clues on the location of the last Aeon Sphere. This session was a bit heavier on the combat – the nature of high-level Pathfinder is much more long epic combats, but the group finally (after only 15 levels) might be starting to work together. The first battle against undead Xulgath guardians was a bit chaotic, but the group did arrange themselves with tanks in the front, damage in the back, which helped a…

Updating on my 3d-printed life-size B1 Battle droid, which is slowly taking shape. I have completed the head, and most of the torso, after several days of printing. All the parts go together remarkable well, and ample use of super-glue is holding strong. I am currently working on finishing up his blaster rifle, which can then be assembled and displayed independently, while the rest is finished. I have also ordered bolts and screws for more permanent assembly (the neck is just dry fit right now, which is why it’s at a weird angle). Then I need to acquire some steel…

I have gotten it in my head to craft a modular terrain board for Star Wars Legion (and potentially other games) and have settled on a rolling hillside based on Hoth terrain. To this end, I have been studying various YouTube options, and have acquired a bit of foam and supplies. The design is to have a set of 18″ square tiles, each decorated with terrain and ground cover, that can then be positioned in any location or facing to vary up the board. One set will be tall mountains or hills, a large set of flat-ish terrain, and an…

A topic long ignored is my ongoing 3d printing, mainly around the filament printer. In my case, my current model is a Prusa i3MK3s, honestly a very solid work horse of a machine. It has been very reliable system, except for the occasional user errors with re-adjusting calibration and filament temperatures. However, over time, the metal plates included with the machine have progressively lost their ability to adhere models. Originally, it was reliable – eventually I experienced warping and then eventually not much would stick. For troubleshooting, I tried the normal recommendations – wipe down with Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), and…
