Star Wars Legion – The Emperor and his guard
Another set of the Christmas additions to our Star Wars Legion set, consisting of the Emperor himself, and his Royal Guard. Unlike most of the Imperial forces, these won’t be the routine white on black, though of course I am not sure when I will manage to actually paint them. Worse, it is a challenge…

Star Wars X-Wing – TIE Reaper
Continuing my X-Wing collection, with the last of the First Edition/Second Edition combo packs – ships that come with materials for both editions of the game. This one is the TIE Reaper, appearing in Star Wars Rebels, and featuring Director Krennic as a pilot option. Since I mainly fly Rebel, this won’t serve me much,…

Star Wars Legion – Fleet Troopers
Going to be more than a few new miniature sets, thanks to the recent holidays. First up, we have a squad of Fleet Troopers, reinforcements for the Rebels (who desperately need more help). As usual, the models are detailed, but easy to assemble. Compared to my prior experience with Games Workshop, they might not be…

Zombicide
This last Sunday, we managed to play some more Zombicide: Black Plague, and wrapped up missions 6 and most of 7. Mission 6 was won in the first attempt, despite our lack of game time recently, everyone was working well together and the zombies could not catch up – though it did get a bit…

Magic: The Gathering, Tournament Trophy
Wrapped up and finished the first place trophy for our upcoming tournament, by adding the final details. Likely will still add a coating of sealant, just to help protect it a bit, but it is otherwise complete. Overall, I am happy with the results, and the design works well. I may adjust it a bit…

X-Wing – Rebel victory
Managed to play a game of X-Wing this past Sunday, and for the first time, managed to actually finish the game without running out of time. The battle was pretty good, though due to lucky dice rolls it ended up going bad quickly for the Empire. For our fleets, we are stretching the rules a…

Your all clear, kid!
Continuing my collection of the initial releases of the X-Wing Second edition starships, and added the Millenium Falcon (Lando version). Initially, I was not excited about the model – the addition of the escape pod in the front just doesn’t seem right and makes the ship look weird. But after digging a bit, I discovered…
