A detailed account of my various commission/hobby projects.
Board Games - I don’t know if it’s nostalgia or if the game is really that good, but this is the third complete set of Aliens: Another Glorious Day in The Corp that I’ve painted. I don’t mind because the miniatures are great and I’m a huge fan of the franchise.
Board Games – Many people were sad when the Alien vs. Predator game was canceled when Disney acquired Fox. While it’s a bummer that game went away having another company pick up the license is a very good thing.
AvP was a pretty overly complicated game that missed that sweet spot where fans of the series intersect with fans of boardgames. They tried to rectify that with the one-piece sculpts of the second edition but still had the issue with the average person doesn’t want to invest the time it takes to learn, build paint and play a tabletop miniatures game.
Another Glorious Day in the Corp mixes really nice screen-accurate miniatures with a simpler system that most people could pick-up and play fairly quickly. The hard plastic minis are color coded by faction as assembly is really simple with some plastic cement and clippers.
Board Games – Some game feature miniatures that don’t really need to be painted, but it’s pretty amazing how a simple basecoat and wash can take simple plastic ships to something really cool.
