lrn2play: X-Wing 1st ed. co/op

-
i introduced my girlfriend to X-Wing miniature game this past weekend.
was actually surprised she caught on fairly quickly.
we had lots of fun and sometimes we did really stupid things we couldn't stop laughing.

layout of the table.
nothing exciting just a straight forward shooting game.
no special missions.

we had Empire Strikes Back playing on her iPad for background noise.
but we did stop and watch the battles scenes and such.

I gave her ships of the Galactic Empire.
two TIE fighters and Darth Vader.
I took a Silencer and two f/o TIE fighters.

everyone on the move.

i flew my Silencer towards Vader to get an early kill but she plotted his movement
zig zagging as she was getting used to the maneuver dials.
at one point I had to execute a k-turn to get back on course.
 
it was funny watching her trying to get a hang of the dials and templates. 
the crazy moves she was doing benefited her in the end.

as heavy firing was taking place elsewhere I broke away with my Silencer.
Darth Vader ended up taking a scenic route across the stars.

Darth Vader finally entering what would become the second hot spot on the battlefield. 

i ended screwing up my movement with my Silencer and flew him off the table edge.
at this point most shots i was making he was saving.
game was such a stand still.

at this point I had managed to bring Vader and one other TIE fighter down to one hull point
and lost a Silencer.
she managed to keep all her ships from being destroyed.

legion of undead

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...
