Freeblades Game Concepts

In this video John demonstrates the Game Mechanics used in Freeblades. He specifically touches on casting a spell, ranged combat, and close combat. Freeblades is a fantasy based skirmish game that uses a variety of dice in its system. The models use dice based on their “caste”. For example a minion/henchman uses a d4 while heroes use a d12. I am pretty much sold on the system.

The Freeblades miniature line is not one that is intimidating either. It has a lot of appeal to the experienced and the inexperienced painter.

Starting Heavy Gear with the Northern Starter

As a result, I believe I will be expanding each article while I learn more about each faction. Then if all goes well I hope to attack the Leagueless lands. They are an interesting set of build rules that allow so much freedom, I do not believe one will ever stop writing on them.

So you have done it, you bought the Northern starter and finally assembled the models. Now what? You say to yourself looking at your four Hunters, four Jaguars, and your two Grizzlies. You pick up the rule book and tug at the hair on your head. “What have I gotten myself into? This starter is worthless.”

I will admit the starter is not the easiest thing to build with, but it is possible. Especially if you use priority level 1, 3, or 4. It does seem that the most accepted set of values is a TV of 750 with a priority level of 2. Which means you will have to upgrade if you want to play set games (like some tournaments).

The Voltigeur Tank For Heavy Gear

The Voligeur is a uniquely designed NuCoal weapon. It is the main battle tank for sale to the Eastern Sun Emirates and other Badland Communities. The original production stagnated do the cost of the armament. Production picked up again with and under powered barrel.

When you get to take a look other pictures you will be impressed with the overall size of the model. It is not an HHT 90 mind you, but you can clearly see it earns its size rating of 13. It is certainly large enough to spearhead an assault.

The Voligeur can now be found on the battlefield in 3 variants.

Mage Wars Coming in June

Board Games Comments Off

May 112012

Mage Wars is a tactical board game, a combination of a card game and miniatures game, combining the best elements from each game. The game is played on an arena game board which is divided into square areas called “zones”. Zones regulate movement and placement of objects. Each Mage (player) starts in a corner of the arena, opposite his enemy. Each player holds a spellbook, from which spell cards are pulled out as they are cast during the game. This has the feel of being a real Mage, turning the pages of your tome of magic, as you plan your strategy each turn. You have full access to cast any spell you want each turn, allowing for an unprecedented level of rich strategy and tactics.
