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,…

On Friday of last week, we managed to record our planned oversized Star Wars Legion battle report – two armies of 800 points each, on two different sides, for a total of 3200 points of figures. The battle results were impressive, both sides fought hard and long for victory. Without any spoilers, the victory was our closest to date, with only a few points separating the winners from the losers. The actual event was an exercise in endurance. We started at 6:30 PM, and wrapped up at approximately 4:30 AM the following morning, making it a 10-hour effort. After editing,…

The next of our ongoing Legion battles – this time sees my return to my Separatist army, with Count Dooku and Cad Bane leading the forces. I am playing against the Empire, running General Veers and Commander Krennic, and four full squads of Death Troopers. Mission selection is Intercept the Transmissions, in a Long March layout. Video publishes on schedule on Friday, but is available now for Patreon supporters – Halfling13 Patreon

Patreon has just released the option for a free trial membership. Not sure how motivational that would be, but I have enabled it for a couple of our tiers. Ultimately, it is really just showing support for the channel, group and content, but you can view our videos early for a bit. This also would unlock our small STL library, in case you wish to print any of our designs. Perhaps this will jump-start Patreon, perhaps not. But doesn’t hurt to add the option. Patreon
