The Concept for The Priestess is outstanding, as usual.  What I want to know is she wearing armor or are those scales on her back?

Maybe the greens will tell us more…

Bushido the Game Quick Start Rules Review

 Bushido, GCT Studios, Miniatures  Comments Off on Bushido the Game Quick Start Rules Review
Aug 022012
 

Image Copyright of GCT StudiosI have finally managed to read through the quick start rules for Bushido The Game. While reading the rules I kept thinking does this work? When I was done reading I didn’t even want to play the game. My first rule on a game review play before you write. I’m glad I am disciplined enough to follow my rules. Because the game is fun and a lot of it.

 

If you didn’t already know Bushido the game is an Asian themed fantasy skirmish game. It is played on a 2×2 board with about 5 models a team.

Heavy Gear Arena and Tea time.

 Arena, Dream Pod 9, Heavy Gear  Comments Off on Heavy Gear Arena and Tea time.
Aug 012012
 

How does Heavy Gear Arena and tea time really go together? It is quite simple given current events the ideas for this post came to me during the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, but how, you still ask.

The Olympics originated in Greece and we all think of Gladiatorial duels of the gods which is much of what Arena is but with Mecha instead. Over the next few weeks i will talk more about arena especially seeing that Matt and myself will be giving the game a spin this weekend. Based on just my read through of the rule book my head is flooded with the endless possibilities. However that will have to wait till next time.

This years Olympics are being held in London which brings us to tea time.

Cryx Kraken Colossal

$ 124.99 SRP

 

Kraken—Cryx Colossal (resin and white metal) The Kraken ranks among the most terrifying necromechanikal fabrications ever loosed upon the mortals of the Iron Kingdoms. With surprising agility for its size, a Kraken can quickly maneuver to take advantage of any situation on the battlefield. As it rises from the depths, its hellblaster cannon delivers devastating payloads supported by bursts from its flayer cannon to cut down infantry. The Kraken’s long tendrils erupt like steel serpents in the midst of formations, tearing apart warjacks and grasping victims to fuel its vile hunger. The Kraken colossal comes in a box (PIP 34050) and includes a colossal wreck marker. A player may field up to two Krakens for each warcaster in a Cryx army.

Warmachine Cygnar Avenger/Centurion/Hammersmith

Warmachine Cygnar Avenger/Centurion/Hammersmith

$ 34.99

 

Avenger/Centurion/Hammersmith—Cygnar Heavy Warjack (plastic) Caspian engineers developed the hulking Centurion to rival the size and strength of Khador’s warjacks. Its increased armor and heavy shield makes it one of Cygnar’s most durable designs, and its mighty piston spear can easily pierce the hulls of enemy warjacks. The Hammersmith swaps out shield and spear with massive twin forge hammers meant to flatten anything in its path, while the Avenger features a stun blade and a groundbreaking seismic cannon. Representing a step forward in Cygnaran technology, the seismic cannon fires sophisticated projectiles that can unleash a localized earthquake upon impact. This box set contains three color stat cards and one multi-part heavy warjack plastic model (PIP 31074). Included are all the components to assemble one of three heavy warjack variants: Avenger, Centurion, or Hammersmith. A player may field any number of these heavy warjacks in a Cygnar army. SPECIAL NOTE: PIP 31074 contains the same Mk II stat cards as PIP 31025 and PIP 31039. The model in this box represents the same figures as those PIPs in the game. However, the model in PIP 31074 is a new sculpt and therefore looks different from the models found in those PIPs. In addition, this model is plastic rather than metal. PIP 31025 and 31039 will no longer be available from Privateer Press beginning August 1, 2012.
