the safe hΘle

our last two battles. as this chronicle played out we were still learning several rules that we didn't use all the time. for the first battle of the last clash we did not have a lot of time to play so we picked Rita's favorite scenario. first battle she wanted to play Crumbling Grounds again. this scenario is a nerve wrecking, after every turn except the last pieces of the board "drop" from underneath our figures. those that fell we lose, so at random you could lose quite a bit or only a few figures. layout of the board. we had the one window curtain open so there was a small glare on the table. figured i would get Char up in there and take out some of Rita's, just to have the chance of those dying might parish and not return in the last game. and yet Char does not disappoint. took a bit but i took out a few of hers including her merc. wish Char having the Cleave ability is so devastating. the Tyrant takes out the Prince of the Um'Tull. after only a turn or tw...

last week i went out and bought a small handful of WizKids D&D miniatures again. and this time around i managed to get the Fire Giant miniature and was amazed on his size. but like usual i didn't paint it as it is always shown or named, i painted this fellow with a gray skin-tone color and nothing related to with fire. he might possibly be a named villain in my upcoming D&D campaign. i went with basic colors. did not want to go all fancy like and such. i used browns and whites and with a black wash, the white colored armor actually turned into a dirty and muck looking suit. group of heroes facing the large villain in the middle of town. another Firbolg Ranger. this lone Firbolg is named the White Wolf. once again another dwarf. this time armed with an axe and shield. a Dragonborn paladin with an epic cloak and massive shield and sword. taking a short cut on painting his armor, using the same idea as i did on the large miniature mentioned at the top of the blog post. this dw...

found some pics from last year i totally forgot i had. it was a late night and i was teaching Rita how to play Fistful of Lead, mainly using the Galactic Heroes rules. i threw down some GW kill team terrain i had primed earlier that day. was using the Necromunda miniatures i had handy at the moment. didn't really plan anything but made it a quick and easy game to learn the basic rules. the Goliaths on the hunt... i figured i would mix in some cool weapons with a few special rules, so she can see what certain are able to do. not going to lie, she likes the flamer very much. i think this was before i got myself the official Wiley Games game counters, so i was using FantasyFLight Games SW Legions tokens. my favorite Goliath got caught and taken down by the Escher gang leader. for being a small battle it got pretty intense. lone Goliath is rethinking his life choices...
