Just what is a Colossal?   We do not have a lot of information to go on.  What we do know  is they are big.   These special warjacks rest on a 120mm base and have multiple weapon systems.  You will learn a lot more if you watch this video.

 

 

What do they mean for you as a gamer?  We have been tossing ideas around.    After some debating we have come up with these questions.

Is this the end of  Warmachine as we know it?  Maybe, but we doubt it.  It is about to get better.

Will players want to play bigger games?  Lets hope so, there is nothing better than playing with everything.

Will they be too much for a regular game?  This is a tough one, that really depends on what you consider regular and how many points they cost.

Matt paints up the Alkemy Character far Eye for the Aurlok Nation.   This video is about 40 minutes long.   10 minutes longer than his goal.  oh well, he isn’t pefect.

 

 

Another figure of Matt’s is painted only 2,950 left to go.  Actually he has more than that to paint, we doubt he will get them all painted.  Hope you enjoyed Off the Palette.

Upon a Salty Ocean  $ 49.95 SRP

At the beginning of the 16th century, the city of Rouen is the main French port. The city’s wealth depends on fishing and the trading of salted fish.

Every week ships full of salt barrels leave Rouen for the fishing grounds of the Atlantic Ocean, and once back, the goods are sold in the city markets. The players represent city merchants, and they invest in ships and city buildings to try to get rich. Who will be the richest merchant of Rouen, when Francis I, King of France, comes to visit the City?

Romulans RPG Soure Book Will be Out in March

Romulans

$ 24.95 SRP

 

ROMULANS! The very name sends shockwaves of terror through the Federation (and waves of anguish through the Klingons and other empires). With their cloaked ships, deadly plasma torpedoes, and self-aggrandizing attitude, the Romulans are just full of themselves (and full of trouble for everyone else in the galaxy). This sourcebook has been updated and revised for the modern versions of 20-sided dice RPG systems. Everything you want to know about these ex-Vulcan renegades is here. History, political system, politics, culture, and society, it’s all here. The Great Houses, extended families that function as gigantic corporations, control most of the economy, but each House is more concerned with its own wealth than with the Empire at large. Somehow, the Emperor must play the Great Houses off against each other to maintain any progress (and keep himself on the throne!) in the face of Federation economic pressure. The book details the justice system, religions, military forces, weapons, starships, and much more. The book includes complete deck plans of the SkyHawk war destroyer, the workhorse of the Romulan fleet. Deck plans and characters are included for Abbraxas Station, the primary point of contact with the Federation. Also included are detailed surveys of all major (and several more) Romulan planets. This book has everything you need to fight the Romulans — or to become one!

L5R Embers of War BD

L5R: Embers of War SD

In the distant Colonies, once known as the Ivory Kingdoms, the samurai of Rokugan gather the resources the Empire needs to survive. Threatened by unknown enemies and pitted against one another in politics and economics, will their honor and steel prove strong enough for the Second City to survive? Embers of War is the brand new expansion for the fan-favorite Legend of the Five Rings Collectible Card Game from AEG. It follows the release of Emperor Edition, the new base set, releasing in February 2012. Now that peace has settled and the riches of the new land conquered by the Empress’ forces are discovered, new alliances and rivalries are formed, both on the mainland and the Colonies. Who will benefit the most?

 

 

I have recently reclaimed some of my L5R collection and I am looking forward to this.
