Welcome back to another Figure Forge!  In this episode I finish off the Gortisi by assembling some Skirmishers from the two player Starter set for Wrath of Kings from CMoN.

I have had a few people ask If I have assembled the Dance master yet.  No, I haven’t I will try to pick it one up soon.  CMoN is currently sold out – Maybe I will find the kit at Origins Game Fair.

Watch as Matt assembles the Slorza Alpha for Kings of War. This model is part of the two player starter kit from CMoN

What can I say about Wrath of Kings? Well, those of you that know me know I like d10 games.   I have only played twice now so I am not ready to give it a review just yet, but the mechanics are easy to pickup.  You can buy the starter and be playing in under an hour

Watch as Matt sift throw the goodies in Myth’s Blackwall Warrens box set from Megacon Games.  If you are familiar with Myth then you already know these models are awesome!

I use these models for everything from Myth to to RPG’s.  The boards too!

When I play Myth I reminisce about Dirk the Daring.  How about you?
