lrn2play: Gaslands co/op

-

these past several days my girlfriend was staying with me since she was having her place get repainted.
so i figured the other night to show and teach her how to play Gaslands.
such a mistake on my part.
just a small set up, using a 3x3 mat with some primed 40k Kill Team terrain pieces and racing gates.
after gate one vehicle weapons become active and ready to fire.

with the cars lined up i got the pole position and moved first.
we didn't use sponsor perks or any real advanced rules, just wanted to show her,
the basic move, fire and of course, collision.

her very first dice roll of the game.
two hazards and a slide. to me this was great so i had to take a pic.
at this point i talked about "Pushing It" with the dice.

with my first car out in front, my girlfriend took her car which is ironically named as her,
Rita, "55 Chevy armed with rockets,
and swerves out in front of my next car. honestly in my head this is the turning point of everything going south.

so i had to make some adjustments on how i wanted to move since i couldn't move forward.
still ended up clipping her.

Rita hits the junk pile in the middle of the way to get to Gate One.

her second car, Eleanor was stuck behind and was able to finally move.
i had to do some good turning to get my other car back into the race for Gate One.

Rita was able to cross Gate One first.
WEAPONS ONLINE and HOT!!

everyone is able to cross the first gate.
i was able to take some handgun shots to Rita and inflict some damage.
i wiped out with my Impala and my girl thought is was great to spin me in the wrong direction.

Rita works out range for her rockets and was able to deal some damage to my one car that
i put into reverse to save my other car.

with my one car that i went reverse, i went forward to get closer and opened up with my minigun and did enough damage to wreck her but since she still had ammo tokens her explosion did more damage to my Impala.

after all the carnage i am pleased to say she had fun and is eager to play again. I told her about Mishkin weapons and now she's keen on trying that sponsor team. i am afraid.

still plugging away at the mess of undead miniatures i still have. these skeletons are from the Undead Encounter pack from Mantic Games. i went with a simple color scheme, i didn't want to spend a lot of time on them. the so called leader of the group. with the simple color and shading these came out nicely. i might go back and retouch the eyes, maybe add a green glow or redness in the eye sockets. rest of the group. way these came out i might purchase another pack of these, add more to the more ranks. Beholder Zombie. this fellow was fun to paint. cannot wait to unleash this on my D&D group. (insert evil laugh here) Crawling Claws. wanted to make some low CR creatures for this weekend's game, and since the group is heading to a den of evil what better way than this. made from dismembered hands from an old GW zombie plastic set. last year i came across some board games called Dark World, and the miniatures were pretty cool to use elsewhere in my table top games. so i used t...

for the Lord of Wolf, for Russ!

ever since my last game of 40k Kill Team with my buddy Jayson, i've been thinking on a second team for the game. lots of ideas were swirling in my head. and i narrowed it down to the faction i always wanted ever since i first started playing 40k back in 2nd edition. the honorable and ferocious Space Wolves. with all the new material coming out for 9th edition and what has been out already i have to say i am disappointed on how much character the new Primaris space marines lack. i mean yeah there's the upgrade packs you could get but still there isn't much to separate one group of Primaris marines from another of a different chapter except shoulder pads. so deciding on this i went with the classic look of the Space Wolves. but with that also there is only a few units and not much i can use if i do a non-Primaris Kill Team. and with these marine i also tried the Citadel Colour Contrast paints. and i have to say i like them very much. very easy...
