Warhammer 40K & Wargaming Blog
How is the wargaming industry doing? Which games are hot, which games are not? Who is expanding, who is not? Is the wargaming market expanding or contracting? Lots of interesting questions. Unfortunately, I cannot answer them here! What I can do however, is some fun speculation based on some recent numbers from ICv2, a consulting/analyst […]
Fantasy Flight’s fantastic X-Wing Miniatures Game is a bit at a cross-road. They’ve mostly exhausted the known ships from the classic Star Wars movies that make for good dog-fighting: the TIE Fighter and its movie-variants, the eponymous X-Wing, the Millenium Falcon and Slave 1, etc.. . The game has clearly been a massive success for […]
The final ship to talk about in Fantasy Flight Games’ recently announced fourth Wave of X-Wing Miniatures: The Z-95 Headhunter. The Z-95 appears to be a deceptively plain entry to Wave 4. It brings no fancy new cloaking rules like the TIE Phantom for example. And yet, by offering Rebel Squadrons a cheap-as-chips ship to add […]
Fantasy Flight Games revealed the 4th wave of X-Wing Miniatures. They are scheduled for the second Quarter of 2014, though delays are not unknown with these miniatures. Unlike the majority of previous X-Wing miniatures, the new ships all come from the Star Wars Extended Universe. Even so, it’s a surprise it took so long for the […]

Unlike the majority of previous X-Wing miniatures, all the new ships come from the Star Wars Extended Universe. I’ll be honest and say, that the E-Wing, the pricier, more […]

Fantasy Flight just put up some information about the next wave of ships for their incredibly successful X-Wing Miniatures game. Though I am excited for things like the Imperial Aces, these are some genuine new ships, including the Z-95 Headhunter and the Tie Phantom! Wow! From Fantasy Flight Games Each of the wave’s four starfighters […]
I continue to grow my Imperial squadron for the X-Wing Miniatures game. Though I have a Slave 1, which I field regularly (the only way I get to 100 pts. on the Imperial side), having started with Rebels made me long for more missiles and bombs. Enter the Tie Bomber Expansion Pack. Another awesome-looking ship, […]
I’ve clearly been sucked into the X-Wing Miniatures Games over the last few months, late to the party and all. Though I am mostly sticking to the Rebel side so far, it’s interesting to see what Fantasy Flight Games is planning for the future of the X-Wing Miniatures Game. The Imperial Aces Expansion is an […]
Having unboxed the X-Wing Miniatures Game and an extra X-Wing, I’m well on my way to a small Rebel Squadron. Time to spice it up with something different. In this case, the more recently released (“Wave 3″) HWK-290 Leight Freighter Expansion, which is (I believe) the first and thus far only X-Wing Expansion that brings […]
