It can’t accelerate worth a wheep and it turns slower than a comet, but if you get in its sights, it can blow you to itty-bitty pieces. It would be embarrassing to have to inform your family you got shot apart by a shuttle, so stay alert. It’s been nearly 3 waves into Fantasy Flight’s […]

Not all miniatures are completely in gold, like the Blood Angels Sanguinary Guard but, but there are small gold-sections on a lot of miniature.
