The X-Wing Imperial Aces Expansion arrived (if you could get hold of one… ). Expensive and fragile, TIE Interceptors are rarely the go-to choice for X-wing players, but they are a classic Star Wars design. I sure hope the Imperial Aces expansion, with two alternative-paint-job TIE Interceptors – gives the “squints” a bit more oompf on […]
I started unboxing the new Imperial Knight for Warhammer 40K yesterday, and started too look at the first sprue, which largely builds the legs. Sprues No. 2 and 3 aren’t so easily classified. They come with bits for the main-body (“the Skeleton”), the weapons and the outer armour-plates. #1 – The Imperial Knight Skeleton This […]
Games Workshop’s Imperial Knight! It’s flying of the shelves everywhere, and I couldn’t really resist it. To be fair, it’s been a long (long, long) time since I build anything this size. No time like now to get stuck in. #1 – Imperial Knight – Box Contents The Imperial Knight comes in a typical GW […]
More DreadBall! DreadBall Xtreme is close, though Mantic put out a tiny tournament-themed expansion to keep people playing through the Kickstarter: Azure Forest, which is also billed as the first of a (annual?) Galactic Tour Series. My Azure Forest box arrived, including new cards to simulate the dangers of tropical forests to a kinetic match […]
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 continue to build my X-Wing miniatures collection. I now own 4 Rebel ships, 2 X-Wings (incl. the one from the base game), an A-Wing and a HWK-290. These make a few nice 100 pts. squadrons to play with. Building a squadron for the “Dark Side”, however, feels trickier, mostly because I feel buying a […]
The Imperial Tie Interceptor!!! If you’ve seen some of my earlier X-Wing unboxings, you might know that I’ve explored the game from the Rebel side. What about the Empire? Well, the most popular way to play the Imperials is arguably with large squadrons of Tie-Fighters. It’s a indubitably an iconic theme for Star Wars, and […]
I have played DreadBall for a solid year now. With a steady supply of new toys coming from the DreadBall Kickstarter, I had no need to actually buy any DreadBall miniatures the old-fashioned way (as far as ordering from an online-store can be considered “old-fashioned”). With Christmas closing in, I treated myself to a new […]
My little X-Wing Miniatures Game collection is growing, at least the Rebel side of it. I admit it’s very refreshing to rip open boxes and lay right into it.. no painting required. Pre-painted miniatures were a thing I was skeptical about, but I am definitely coming around to it. My newest recruit, the A-Wing. The […]
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 […]
