Zombicide - Character Pack
/
Board Games - Zombicide Black Plague has several “Artist Editions” much like the other versions of the game they invite a guest artist to do character designs. This is one of those sets.
Scythe – The Wind Gambit
/
Board Games – I still haven’t had a chance to play Scythe but I’ve heard good things. The fact that I have another expansion on my table to paint confirms those good things.
Read MoreIncursion – Weird War II
/
Board Games – Wolfenstein 3D was a big deal when I was a kid, as I’m sure it was for anyone reading this. The first real First Person Shooter it was pretty amazing at the time. Of course then came Doom and Quake and the plethora of of FPS games and now you have millions of people screaming at each other online about some kid sniping them. Ok so maybe I want to rethink that nostalgia train
Read MoreCrusader Kings - The New World
/
Board Games – Earlier this year I painted up some knights and fighters for the Crusader Kings board game based on the popular video game. The latest batch of models to cross my table is the Councilors and Inventions expansion.
Unlike the other pieces I’ve painted these aren’t force specific so they needed to be a bit more generic in color. As with the other models these are on the smaller scale so not as much detail as a 28mm figures I typically paint the people seem to be closer to 20mm scale.
The Last Bastian
/
Board Games – If you’re stuck at home co-op games are something worth having on the shelf. Sure you could sit and play a video game, but playing a single player board game is a unique experience that you should give a try if you’re missing your game night.
Read MoreMythic Battles – Oedipus and the Spinx
/
Board Games – What walks on four feet in the morning, two in the afternoon and three at night?
Read MoreMourneQuest - Getting My Irish Up
/
MourneQuest is a neat board game with some pretty colorful miniatures. Based on the novel by Garry McElherron …
Read MoreDark Souls - Vordt of the Boreal Valley
/
Board Games – Vordt is another expansion for the Dark Souls board game. It’s an interesting model as it appears to be some type of mount but is most definitely humanoid.
Read MoreThe Hunt Begins - Again
/
Board Games – AvP is an odd franchise similar to Star Wars it has a pretty rabid fanbase that is consistently let down by the latest film. Part of the problem is with 20-40 year old franchises is the nostalgia is strong and fans don’t like to embrace “new coke” …
Read MoreBlack Plague - The last box?
/
Board Games – Zombicide Black Plague seems to have more expansions than the “modern” version and I think I may have finished the last of the big boxes.
Read MoreMythic Battles
/
Board Games – Mythic Battles is a fairly large game. My client sent over just a small expansion featuring some of the monsters. These are pretty nice sculpts, the Basilisk and Manticore are exceptional, however the wolf is a bit lacking.
Blood Rage
/
Board Games – Blood Rage is a game about Vikings, this expansion introduces the Gods of Asgard. Sadly I don’t know much more than that. The sculpts are ok and feel similar to Zombicide with a different skin.
Jim Henson's Labyrinth: The Board Game
/
Board Games – As a kid I really loved the Muppets and Jim Henson’s The Story Teller, I wasn’t a huge fan of the Dark Crystal or Labyrinth though. As an adult giving those movies another watch I can appreciate the films more and see why some people have so must love for them.
Read MoreDeep Blue - Lil' Boats
/
Board Games – Some games come with really nice pawns. I remember as a kid always gravitating toward the games that had cool pieces I could play with. My grandparent’s board game collection had plenty of random buttons or other substitute parts because so many kids thought the same thing.
Read MoreWasteland Express - Post Apocalyptic Delivery Service
/
Board Games – Mad Max influenced a whole genre of movies and continues to do so almost 40 years after the original film was released. Wasteland Express is a board game that delves into what a delivery service would be like in that world.
Read MoreGoing on a Crusade - Knights Painted Up
/
Board Games – Often I get large commissions for board game miniatures. Most of the time these are colored ABS plastic that very in the quality of the sculpts. Putting a little paint on them brings the overall quality of the experience way up in my opinion.
Read MoreSwamp Monsters - Shadows of Brimstone
/
Board Games — I think I’m nearly done with all the Shadows of Brimstone monsters. This latest batch includes monsters form the Swamp expansion as well as some individual enemy packs.
Read MoreFirst Martians: Adventures on the Red Planet.
/
Board Games – Mars has been a very popular subject fo games over the last few years. Not many of the games feature highly detailed miniature though, which means I haven’t been exposed to many of them first hand. While researching this game I found a ton of variations of the same theme, most of the games are worker placement variations in which you have to set up a colony on Mars.
First Martians is a game based on a previous award winning game called Robinson Crusoe. I guess it can be played solitare and uses an app. It looks pretty cool and the miniatures are detailed enough that a simple paint job really makes them pop.
Shadows of Brimstone - In Space?
/
Board Games – Shadows of Brimstone is a really weird game. I haven’t played it personally but one of my clients is all about it. I get a few models for the game in just about every batch she send over. Initially I was under the impression it was some type of cthulu-esqu cowboy game, which in the simplest terms i guess it is. The concept is a mining town the discovers a mysterious type of stone, the ensuing “gold-rush” causes an explosion that rips a hole in reality allowing for all sorts of oddities to appear. It feels a little bit like Rifts or any number of RPGs that throw in everything plus the kitchen sink.
This particular batch is the abandoned space station. Featuring undead astronats, probe droids and gun batteries it’s a well themed expansion.
Zombicide – Green Horde Heroes
/
Board Games – I wrapped up what should be the last of the Zombicide Black Plague Expansions. This was a different kind of project because there were just so many models and several varying degrees of detail on the models
