As of this morning, our Star Wars channel has reached the 500 subscriber milestone. This is notable for several reasons, not the least of which is my simple appreciation to all our viewers. Back on February 23, we hit 300 subscribers, then on April 18 we hit 400 subscribers. Now 10 weeks later, and another 100 followers of the channel. Up until recently, this would only be a vanity item, YouTube only really recognizes channels when they hit the full 1000+ level. However, in the last few weeks they updated their Partner Program policy to allow all channels (in select…

Featured in a recent battle report recording, Sabine Wren enters the battle for the Rebellion with her colorful armor and decorations. This is an older model that I held off on due to the extra decorations – a rather intimidating pattern. However, once I had actually started, I didn’t end up finding it particularly hard and instead rather fun. In this case, I opted to first paint the Mandalorian armor the basic greys, as if it has not been colorized. From there, I used a reference photo and added most of the graffiti. Much of the yellows ended up being…

The conclusion of our Star Wars Legion 1600 pt mega-battle is now live, with the final three turns of the match. If you haven’t had the chance to view the prior half, that one is obviously available still as well. The battle was a tough fight, and a long recording session, stretching into 11 hours of game time. Although we had a couple of technical challenges, the cameras and microphones performed well and the final edit was in line with our current material. By the end of the game, most of the players were eager to try the scale again,…

This was supposed to be auto-posted on the 15th, but apparently was missed. The most recent release for Star Wars Legion was the Fulcrum edition of Ahsoka Tano. Initially my plan was to paint her up the same weekend, but as usual various other challenges got in the way. We were planning on a battle report to feature her, so I had to go ahead and knock it out quickly, but I am overall satisfied with how it came out. The biggest challenge for me was the eyes again – these continue to be problematic. It is plenty serviceable at…

We are continuing to work on painting and assembling all of the core set for Shatterpoint, which proved to be quite a task. Assembly is finally finished after a couple of weeks, and I am now starting on the painting effort. First to be tackled was the B1 units – these are quick and easy to paint, but crazy detailed to assemble. In the process, I ended up painting all of the various bases in order to be consistent. Painting approach was as simple as Legion – a full layer of Skeleton Horde Contrast and some Black Templar for the…

This Friday will be a new episode of the Carrion Crown Pathfinder 2e campaign, recorded this last Sunday. With various scheduling conflicts over the last month, the campaign (and Extinction Curse) has been on pause, so it was nice to resume the story. Unfortunately we had lost a lot of the momentum, which showed in the session, but at least the general technical issues are resolved for now. In this session, the group continues their search for the serial killer who has been preying on the Vampire clans of Caliphas, and their investigation brings them to the Nobleman’s Stitch. Video…

One campaign that continues to be going strong is our Warhammer Fantasy/Rolemaster mashup, playing (loosely) the Enemy Within campaign. This storyline has been going on now for nearly 3 years (with a 1-year break in the middle) and is very popular with the players involved. Despite schedules, we are able to routinely get together and continue the challenge, despite the relative slowness of the story. Currently, the group is locked into and engaged in the assault of Castle Wittgenstein, suspected of harboring Chaos forces and having cursed the local region. For the past 5 sessions, they have battled the defenders,…

A view behind the scenes, as I work to assemble the mountain of plastic that is the Star Wars Shatterpoint starter set. I opted to pick this game up on release day, and have been working on it off and on since. Within a few weeks, I hope to have everything assembled and painted, and to hopefully get in a few practice games before we start adding this content to the channel. For the models, I am both amazed and horrified by the amount of detail. The individuals follow more of the style of the animated series, which is fine,…
