Imperial Assault, and some quick "Opening the Box" pics

 
Hi there! I got myself an early birth day present :) I've been drooling for the Imperial Assault board game from the day it got released, and now I finally got it... with a salty price of 110€ (AAAaaargh! Thanks for the expencive SW-lisence fee George... or is it Walt nowadays).
In comparison, Descent 2nd edition starter box was 80€, and it shoud be basically the same game with a different theme... But was this worth my savings? Lets see what's in the box...


Ok. Here's four rule booklets, and some advertising stuff...


Seven sheets of floor tiles and markers, and the small sheet looks like some kind of stickers...


 And they're double sided of course. Art looks really high quality. Me like...


Next we have some hero cards and tons of other smaller cards, as can be expected from Fantasy Flight. There's Deployment Cards, Story Mission Cards, Side Mission Cards, Agenda Cards, Reference Cards, Hero Class Cards, Imperial Cards, Item Cards, Supply Cards, Reward Cards, Command Cards, Condition Cards... ... ... "Piii... pii... Uiiii... R2-D2 do not compute". I get back with some details later. Dice look familiar if you've played any Descent games.


And finally some miniatures. Including "bonus" Luke Skywalker and Darth Warder figure packs!
Lets see those miniatures little closer...











 

All the minis are really nicely sculpted, and the plastic seems quality stuff too! So I think I'm happy with my investment so far... Now I'm gonna do some reading, and I'll be back with some details of the game rules and those cards and tokens. Bye now!

Ruins3, WIP

I'm making some ruins again... Here's the pics.


I carved the base out of foam board.


Then I added some floor tiles and columns. Glued with hot glue. I used coctail sticks to give some strenght to the thin pillars.


Here's another angle... More soon, I hope. Bye now!

Some Purchases and Arachnarok WIP

Hi there! Here's where I spend my hobby money lately, and first pic of my Arachnarok project...


First some reading. Gav Thorpe goodness from Black Library. This should inspire me to paint my Successor Chapter few more minis..


like this Space Marine Attack Bike still in a box, that would be most welcome support for my bikers.


More reading. Amazing campaign for Pathfinder. Every FRPG GM should have it!


We've been playing some Pathfinder 2nd edition with my son, and now he wanted some more dungeons to delve into... This seems like a great expansion so far. Still some rules to study.


And finally this huge thing...


Some assembly done here... Howdah crew not ready. In comparison, there's one of Empires elites taking blows. More of this spider soon. Bye now!

Second Ruins Done

Hi there. Inspired by my first ruins scenery done, I tried to make another small piece yesterday. I had no building plan ready (shows abit in result), so I planned as I went along... but it was more of a testing of different materials and colouring project for me. And it turned out Ok, so here's some pics...


Here's the front, where somebody stole the door... or maybe I could make one. Hmmm...


Here's the back side and a piece of the second floor...



Secod floor is really way up there... Let's play it's an attic. I have to make ladder now. Bye!
