Gaming | In the Grim Darkness of the Far Future, there are Games I Don't Like

Now before we get down to the fact that I'm embroiled in a Necromunda campaign, yes, I finished the last Mordheim campaign. No I didn't post that here because I forgot to, and now I have photos for a game that I don't really remember. So instead of me rambling about it, know that Chaos won and I finally managed to get my Undead warband cooking. On to the subject at hand: Necromunda. My game group has lots of Necromunda players, and at the closer of the Mordheim campaign it was decided that we would all try a Hive Secundus game. After about 4 games, I can confidently say that I don't like the game very much at all.

Hobby | Tiny Houses

Unfortunately for myself, I didn't complete more of these little buildings in time for the Season of Scenery challenge. Nonetheless, they are done for myself, so a win is still a win. These 3 buildings are a continuation of my previous post, where I started with 15mm ACW. They're MDF buildings from Sarissa Precision. More precisely, a dutch style barn, a stable barn, and a house. 

Hobby | Barn Storming (Season of Scenery)

Well it happened. I have, ironically after posting about it not too long ago, met the requirements for truly starting historical wargaming. There is a little Space Dino on the way. They have timed it perfectly with my local game store's anniversary sale, and so I scooped up a little something. Something about the best Civil War. And of course, with the little time remaining in the Season of Scenery challenge, I had to get some terrain in. It can't all be vehicles. 

Hobby | Funboat Gunboat (Season of Scenery 2024)

We now return from outer space, away from the high tech past into our much lower tech past with some gunboats for Black Seas. The name makes them sound more threatening than they are, but if enough of them get into your face you can be in a world of pain. 

Review | X-Wing Battle of Yavin

Not a lot of photos, and a bit of a short one, but I squeezed in a game of X-Wing. We played a 3-player game of the AMG scenario, Battle of Yavin, with myself as the Empire and the other two taking command of the Rebel forces looking to destroy the Death Star. 

Hobby | Black Seas 38-gun Frigate (Season of Scenery 2024)

Back from space ships to sea ships, I have another Black Seas model completed, also in Royal Navy colors. This time it's a 38-gun frigate, one of their models from the plastic range and provided in the starter set. 

Space Din-O-Pinions | RIP to Star Wars Armada and X-Wing (Season of Scenery 2024)

This will be a sort of weird hybrid post. I'll be talking about my thoughts with the recent announcement that Armada and X-Wing are ceasing development, but nobody likes a wall of text, unless you're into books. But this isn't a book, and pictures are required, so I've gone ahead and interspersed my ramblings with photos of my painted Armada squadrons. So it does double duty for the Season of Scenery challenge as well.  

Gaming | Mordheim Treasure Hunt

No, the warbands weren't given a list of clues to go hunting about the city. They had to find a chest, hidden amongst the ruins, and keep the other warband from finding it. This time my Restless Dead warband was up against the Pit Fighters.  

Hobby | Black Seas Brig (Season of Scenery 2024)

With the Mordheim campaign in full swing now, Black Seas is taking a pause, but not before I finished painting one of their plastic ships, the dimunutive brig, this one in Royal Navy colors.

Gaming | Mordheim Map Campaign

The next Mordheim campaign has begun in my group! Now that we have the basics down, we're going a little fancier with this one. Now we're trying the map campaign from the book, and we have to take control of territories to gain bonuses. So off the Restless Dead go with zombies and skeletons in tow to further some eldritch end of the big liche in charge, who is still nameless because I'm terrible with names.
