Or Perhaps the Warmaster!"After building and painting Brother Garam, my World Eaters Contemptor last month the 30k bug has finally bit me. For some reason Dark Angels as a Legion never quite appealed enough, but I've now found my Legion Love, a Shattered Legions Love to be exact. I am on track for 3000pts of Blood and Steel, my combined force of World Eaters and Iron Warriors. My goal is to build a 3000 point Heresy list that can be broken down, roughly into two 1500 point lists that Tim and I can play against each other here at home too.<br />

So as you see I've got a good start in building so far, but 3000pts is a big goal so this'll take some time. All the longer when I start thinking about the cost of Forge World models...<br />
I plan on getting my shoulder pads from Shapeways, I've bought some <a href="http://www.shapeways.com/shops/popbits" target="_blank">Pop Goes the Monkey </a>products and been super happy with them. When it comes to third party a lot just isnt good enough, Anvil Industry however has a great reputation and I was very satisfied when my <a href="http://anvilindustry.co.uk/Wargaming-Chain-Axes?search=Chain%20Axe" target="_blank">Chain Axe </a>order arrived, almost 50 of them is a good start for a World Eater army; gotta love +1S.<br />
<br />
To help keep me motivated I've joined the <a href="http://age-of-darkness-podcast.blogspot.no/" target="_blank">Age of Darkness podcast</a> 'Two Week Hobby Challenge', here's hoping I don't spend too long in the Box of Shame with JP.<br />

<br />Well All Hallows Eve marks the end of October, and that's the end of #Dreadtober too, or is it?<div>

Joe, the organiser has left us one last week, and one last (and potentially tough) exercise if we want to try it. That is to improve our photography skills. Now I've only recently begun with a white background and using light editing to get a better/cleaner image, but hopefully I'll get a chance to go over the <a href="https://brokenpaintbrush.com/challenge-photograph/" target="_blank">tutorials Joe has offered </a>up and do something impressive.<br /><br />
In the mean time I've been busy. I was away for a while last week helping family move house, so sorry about the lack of update, I've got models done though.<br />
<br />
First up is The Fury, the name I came up with eventually for my Death Company Dreadnought. He's been taken by h Back Rage for so long that he doesn't know who he is any more.<br />

And Codicer Tuvial is almost complete.<br />
<br />
First up the Angels Sanguine. I started getting some base colours on my dreads during the times I couldn't build. I quickly realised I'd made an undercoating error and red'ed up half of my Death Company dreadnought along with the other two. I spent a moment debating rolling with it, but both the fluff and general opinion said go all black. I did however decided to go with a red 'blood smear' image across his 'face' just to make him a little different, I'm thinking of going with this throughout my Death Company models, we'll see.<br />

The other two were easier to continue on, my Furioso got his red's and blacks blocked out fully and Leadbelcher on the metal sections, it's a start. Over a few evenings, in between building Brother Thanatos, I've managed to almost finish Codicer Tuvial, my Librarian Dreadnought. It's been great fun picking out the details and making a character of him whilst retaining the quite simple and clean style of the B@C Contemptor. All that remains now is basing, which will be for all three later in the month, and weathering. I may go heavier on the weathering on my Angels Sanguine than my Dark Angels who are mostly only dirty, we'll see that'll be a new trick to learn.</div>

I've struggled a little with his left shoulder, I want to have the iconic Deathwatch text, but none of my attempts have been good enough... yet! My greenstuff version was OK, but not clear enough to make out as text, the silver paint pen I tried wasn't fine enough to be worth it, next up I'm going to have to try painting it on. Otherwise it's all good, the base covers up the wiring problem I created just fine and all of the other little conversions I've made I'm very happy with. The Deathwatch style shoulder auspex is made from the light in the Ven. Dread. set with a small piece of Chaos fencing added on the top and some lenses placed on rather than the lights you normally get (they are greenstuffed away on the back side). I cleaned up a sarcofogus front to add the Deathwatch I on and trimmed down the backpack top for his left shoulder.<br />

The silver text is first glossed to make the Lamian Medium & Stormhost Silver mix flow in nicely and the the panel above is touched up with black to get it sharper. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.<br />
<br />
All in all a good week, tomorrow I begin work again so we'll see how much more I can get done. At the least I hope to complete Tuvial and Thanatos. #Dreadtober is turning out to be so much fun. That is in a large, large part to all of the activitey going on around the net, Twitter is fantastic, and the hashtag keeps popping up on various Facebook groups too, all thanks to Joe at the Broken Paintbrush, please check out the<a href="https://brokenpaintbrush.com/dreadtober-build-showcase/" target="_blank"> latest showcase post </a>where many participants explain how their week has gone much more briefly than I just have.Drake Poldragonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07710237345618842164noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089240000379603287.post-21881931681587803372016-10-04T15:21:00.000-07:002016-10-04T15:21:06.660-07:00The Remorseless - Dark Angels 9th Company - Demi-Company<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Back at the end of June my local GW held a hobby week for 40k. Running up to the 27th the staff had helped me with list planning and conversion ideas. I got together a ton of bits from various boxes at home and ordered a couple last pieces to complete the list.</div>

Still my kids were also away on holiday so I was able to make up the time during the evenings. It was great fun, and really inspirational to hobby in a real active environment for a change. Over the course of the week I managed to finish building all 58 Infantry models, the two Predators (the WHW Command Tanks were already built and basecoated) and the two Dreadnoughts.</div>

By the end of the week I'd got a few games in, tried out my first ever Predators in a multiplayer game, another chap had one so we teamed up to form a Squadron, now I know I want a third. Some people got a lot more than me done, by the end of the week I'd got all 62 new models built, undercoated, drybrushed and the blacks were basecoated. I also got one mode complete.<br />

It's been magic, it's also granted me a lot of extra hobby time. :) Hence the (for me) massive amounts of Dark Angels I've painted this year, and the 4000+ points of other armies I've built.<br />
<br />
Knowing that Jay time will be harder to come by for my small soldiers very soon I've now dived into building my Deathwatch Veteran Dreadnought, Brother Thanatos, for #Dreadtober. As Chris the Geek <a href="https://twitter.com/angelsofbaal/status/782276336073240576" target="_blank" title="Twitter Berating">recently admonished me</a> on Twitter, I shouldn't be so hasty, I have got some wires crossed going up Thanatos' legs and that left me a messy base to deal with, apart from that it's been great fun to put together, as Dreadnoughts always are.<br />

I still have some detail work to go on the big guy, likely a purity seal or two here and there, and the tough part, trying to create a Deathwatch style shoulderpad on his left arm out of greenstuff. Wish me luck. I'll post some photos up when he is finished and I'll be getting into the painting as soon as I can so as to get the most out of this last week off work.

Joe at <a title="Broken Paint Brush" href="https://brokenpaintbrush.com/" target="_blank">Broken Paint Brush</a> is organising this year, and he's got us off to a lovely start. A few e-mails to keep us upto date on where we should be, some articles on his own blog outlining the goals and structure of the (slightly long) month and so far a couple of links to advice for getting done what we need to get done. There is a <a title="Dreadtober Facebook Page" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/164346417343189/?ti=icl">Facebook page </a>for the event, but most of the action seems to be taking place on Twitter, follow <a title="Dradtober Twitter Search" href="https://mobile.twitter.com/hashtag/dreadtober" target="_blank">#Dreadtober</a> to see it all.
The big picture point of Dreadtober is to get a model done, a Dreadnought or similar sized model, and show it off to a larger community. By all joining together to do it hopefully we'll motivate each other to finish. The nails and tacks up to the minute goal for this week is to make a plan and declare what we want to get done. So here are my goals for the month, a little on how I have arrived at them and how I hope to achieve them.
<ul>
<li> Build a Venerable Dreadnought with LED's in, <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">copying from</span> taking inspiration from <a title="Sweet Ultramarine Dreadnought" href="https://twitter.com/brunomassa1969/status/777761177602523136" target="_blank">Bruno Massa's recent AoBR Dread</a>. </li>

<div>When it came to deciding what Dreadnought to build I first thought about what I had lying at home, two Ven. Dreads and a Contemptor from B@C, the Venerables lended themselves nicely to the LED idea so job done. A quick poll to my Twitter followers gave the the answer that it should be my first model towards a Deathwatch force rather tgan Dreadnought #6 for my Dark Angels, 100% of votes actually. With this in mind I needed to find a Chapter, I didn't want to go for anything I already collect (Dark Angels, Mentors or Angels Sanguine) and decided that I'd like to avoid any of the Chapters with pads in the DW Veterans box as we'll be seeing enough of them. I hit the Lexicanum pages and went a-browsing. It didn't take long for me to find the Red Hunters, with a nice simple and clear Chapter symbol, a few colours that could be used nicely with Deathwatch black and a background full of Inquisition and reasons to be interesting they were a pefect fit for a model I'd want to show off. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I then briefly played with the idea of using a Dreadknight's sword for his CCW, but I decided that it wasn't the right scale for a MK.IV Dreadnought, also it looked to be a nightmare to make LED's work well. Then I questioned the WH 40k Deathwatch group on any tips for a weapon to go next to the CCW. I didn't want a Plasma Cannon as I'd just painted so many for my Dark Angels, the suggestions and thoughts helped and we ended up deciding on an Assault Cannon as I've not painted one on a Dread before and it's a nice in your fave weapon for a Dreadnought that'll be up close supporting his Battle Brothers. </div>

<div>Next up I'll post a small piece of fluff about my Red Hunter Deathwatch Battle Brother. </div>Drake Poldragonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07710237345618842164noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089240000379603287.post-57079992643592908342016-09-24T13:59:00.002-07:002016-09-24T14:21:34.208-07:00We Do Still PlayWell I last posted in March, we're almost in October, by my maths (math for Americans) that's over half a year! So appologies, excuses and reasons abound. We hope to do a little better in the future, let's call this a wip.<br />
<br />
In the past almost seven months there has been a lot of gaming and modelling though. The Highlights include Pandemic Legacy: Season 1, Sushi Go Party, over 6000 points of 40k built, and about half of that finished painted and based, some AoS & 40k has been played, the Marvel Super Hero game was tried out and we've completed all four scenarios in Mansions of Madness 2nd. Ed.<br />
<br />
On top of that Mari's broken a finger, we've been to Disney World, Sweden, Cornwall and Stavanger. Life has been great, and now I'm just starting on my<a href="https://brokenpaintbrush.com/dreadtober" target="_blank"> #Dreadtober</a> and Tim has recently gifted me Destiny to try out (Level 17 Titan already).<br />
<br />
I'll be in touch again soon, some details about all of the models I've been building and painting and a few photos of some of the games played.

We'd chatted plenty in advance and decided on our armies and mission as well as a narrative around the events. So we set up a nice looking wooded board and got to it.<br />
<br />
In early August 1944 a small force of well equipped British Commandos from No. 4 supported by a Matilda infantry tank infiltrated the forest of Chantilly in Northern France and began an aggressive scheme of disruption from behind the German lines. at 14:00 on August 11th the Germans launched their raid on the British camp with an elite Waffen SS force.<br />

The Germans came in hard and fast over the rough terrain, they quickly won the battle of the snipers although the STuG III never managed to get a bearing on the Matilda as it quickly found some light cover behind a tree. The Pioneer's rode their Hanomag into the centre of the British, scattering them for cover, and unleashed a torrent of flame that killed many men, although a heavy retribution was laid upon them afterwards.<br />

Heavy casualties caused by the Pioneer's and the ADKFZ 250/9's autocannon during the middle of the battle left few Commandos to retaliate, soon it was just a few men left trying to hold off the horde. The officers were amongst the last to fall, the SS officers even ordering that the medic was a valid target.<br />

We had a great game as we always do, it made for a change to not be spearheading an attack against German held lines with my Commandos. I'm not sure when we'll play again, but I'll try and get myself a heavier mortar next time to lay down some more pain, perhaps even a bigger tank. The Matilda survived the game through thanks to some poor roles by the STuG, but it wasn't very effective either.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
This is the start, and currently the extent of the fluff I've dreamt up for my emerging Seraphon force. I imagine them, as the Battletome describes, as a force of celestial power, imagined into being by the Slann that leads them and fading away outside of battle. But I think he summons the same Seraphon to being each time, and through his experiencing their actions in one campaign they come back different each time, slowly developing a greater capability and understanding. Somewhat like Pokemon and their Pokeballs.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To capture some of this on the table I'm going with a starfield pattern on the skin of the Seraphon, which will hopefully show them to be 'made of the stuff of the stars' and give a nice uniform look to the army amongst the different colour of their scales. I also see the star pattern showing how Lord Soquala lost touch with almost the entire physical world on his journey and coming to battle now his mental constructs are not as solid or bound in tradition as many other Slann's are.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Obviously I have a way to go on the background for my army, I want to next write up some details about how Lord Soquala found his way to the Mortal Realms and what now motivates him to fight. For the time being I intend to leave very vague what he may have met out in the far reaches of space.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you enjoyed this little look, please let me know what you think and any ideas on where I could take the theme.</div>

Hey, a couple of weeks missed and I apologise for that. I've been pretty busy in the evenings so the spare time I have had has gone towards painting not writing. Tim also promises a new game write up soon. :) I have got in a couple of good sessions whilst I've been an author-absent.<br />
<br />
I've built up a bunch of Seraphon now, beyond the Ripperdactyls I begun with I've made enough models to equal the new Starter Set (Old Blood on a Carnosaur, eight Saurus Knights and 12 Saurus Warriors) I alos got a chance to get out to the garage and undercoat a bunch of models. So here comes a photodump of what I've got done since last we met. Enjoy and please comment.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">That's another week gone by, how fast they pass.
I've not made any progress on the Seraphon discussed in the last post, but I
haven't been idle. I decided to finish up a couple of small parts of larger
projects before cracking on with the new army, and I converted up a 1st Legion
Praetor from the Betrayal at Calth set too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Project one was to get some models ready to use
in a small game. My Dark Angels, as discussed were built mainly in the summer
of 2013, before "Basegate", meaning they were all standing pretty on
25mm bases. So although I have built all 107 Astartes for The Feared, I
technically only had one completed, as I mentioned on Twitter, that is less
than 1% of the Company. Well that's changed, now I have 32 completed. These were
the models that preciously were finished, so rather than ditching the (I think)
quite nice bases I had, I bought 32mm </span>converter<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> rings from Eccentric
Miniatures and was very pleased.</span></span><br />

applied a light coat of kit bashing to them to let them show their Dark Angel
roots and will be painting them up as Eighth Company assets. The pose on the
Company Master in the Excelsior is perfect and reminds me very much of a
popular meme. :)</span></span></div>

Because I find myself with so much free time on my hands (not at all true), and most of my other projects are wrapping up now (also, surprise surprise, not at all true) I've decided it's time to pull out and dust off some WHFB boxes and turn my Lizardman sprues into a Seraphon army. I know most of the reviews of the new Battletome have been less than stella, but I find the new space faring reptiles of the imagination quite appealing. Mostly, as before, because of the great big dinosaurs, but also the freedom the Slann now have from the Old Ones plans make them a less predictable and more exciting force.<br />
<div>

I've spent a few days now thinking about colour schemes and modeling posibilities, reading through all four pages of rules for Age of Sigmar, looking up more rules, such as the Clash Comp., HeelanHAGG and the Norwegian Masters comp to help me structure my army and considering a story and style to my 'Constellation'. One of the great, yet insignificant aspects of the Seraphon (don't Google that at work btw) is the army structure is based upon a comstellation model, each with a Slann at their centre. With this fact in mind, I went to work. I found an image of a starscape and drew a dragon on top, this was a much better result than my attempt at drawing a dragon myself. </div>

The mighty Poldraken Rex Constellation has plenty of stars, and a good few of them are nice and large to represent all of the big dinosaurs I want to field, now on their beautiful round bases. The initial list I'm going to work on is the models you now find in the Starter set, a Carnosaur, 12 Saurus Warriors and eight Saurus Cavalry. This should give me an opportunity to see if I like the game, army and paint scheme enough to continue.

Plenty of big monsters and some tough space lizards running between the legs, great fun. So as I plan to start work on these next week, if I don't have the sense to push further in one of the earlier projects, I'll be posting some updates here soon. </div>

I've been a Dark Angels player for only a few years. With the launch of 6th ed. I jumped on board with the Dark Vengeance starter set. Tim and I played through the intro games, he hadn't played since 2nd ed. and I'd fallen out during early 5th. We loved the games we had, the feel of the rules, the 'Forge the Narrative' attitude to play and in my case, the Deathwing Terminators. I got a hold of the 4th ed. Dark Angels codex and made up a 1000 point list, I joined a campaign being held in my local (Oslo) GW and had the first 1000 points painted in about three weeks. The Dark Vengeance set with the Ravenwing and Company Master replaced with Belial and five more Deathwing. This was just before the 6th ed. codex release so I even converted up my own Belial.</div>

Six-nine months later, my Dark Angel collection had grown, I'd painted most of it and was happily playing fairly often (Norway has ten weeks of paternity leave). Then with the announcement of a re-release of Apocalypse coming I cracked, the only thing that would do me was a complete Company, the Fourth would be complete. As it turned out I only needed to order a few Dark Angel and Assault Squad shoulder pads and buy another Devastator box, a good rummage of my bitz box(s) provided the other 60ish marines I lacked. It was good times. I decided that with the Dark Angels reputation for stubbornness I'd get them terrain to stand in during Apoc games rather than transports, this had the advantage of cutting down on time I spent moving the mass of single models around. Games Workshop released some amazing terrain pieces at the time, so my Unforgiven manned a Wall of Martyrs centred around an Aquila Strongpoint (that reminds me I should get one of those Fortress of Redemption kits) and one place or another I played a good few Apoc games over the next few months. </div>

Then came 2014, I was too busy with my son and home life to make any regular games and I felt a little cheated by the quick release of 7th edition after investing in 6th. I went from playing regular games to having one game of 40k in January over the while of 2014. :( However, I didn't stop hobbying, just gaming. Most of the painting I did was for Bolt Action, I started a British Commando force. And the Dark Angels still got plenty of hobby time devoted to them, it was just mostly on my iPad. I'd built up the Fourth Company, now it was time to detail them, build up their fluff and turn my models into characters. The following pictures are from what I have now, details have been added over the past two years, and they got a good re-haul with the release of the 7th ed. Dark Angel codex. That involved a new Company Master name, a rank given to the character I had already leading the Dark Angels fleet, a whole extra Tactical squad in the company as I before had used Veterans in the first squad position and the new title of The Feared to the company.</div>

<span style="color: white;">I managed to get back into some gaming last year after not having to travel so much for work. These games are all on the PS4, as that is my preferred gaming platform. The console works best for me as having to use a PC during the day it’s nice to sit back and be further from the screen.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: white;">Basing this on the most fun I have had two games come out equal top are The Talos Principle and Destiny.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp6HakQP-fWLXwswuZiLxRsgC5DYtab6fL9-OuUvqveTpBMqiz90PIS6gCIyscyy7XPt-5Dmz3HP6gViF3AqByXh4aRIg7LWi4dZR6s2vJWmdxEY2SFkKY_HUC_0sleJvFeYApO4g6-JU/" style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="color: white;"><img alt="" data-json="{\"requiresResize\":true}" height="317" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp6HakQP-fWLXwswuZiLxRsgC5DYtab6fL9-OuUvqveTpBMqiz90PIS6gCIyscyy7XPt-5Dmz3HP6gViF3AqByXh4aRIg7LWi4dZR6s2vJWmdxEY2SFkKY_HUC_0sleJvFeYApO4g6-JU/" title="The Talos Principle" width="500" /></span></a></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="color: white;">The Talos Principle really hit the spot with the a great story, think <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/">Matrix</a> levels of introspection. Its got nice tight handling controls when combined with the first person view point giving a good feeling of interaction, the level of freedom given in the game world means you get enough choice not to feel enclosed and have enough to do but not so much free reign as to feel lost. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: white;">The game world works well with the many puzzles there are to solve, as when played over time you up skill and learn the systems so you get a great feeling of success from beating some of them and a sense that you yourself have improved. The personal feeling of progression with wanting to learn more about the story really are the two key things which push you through to see the end.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: white;">I saw the latest version of Destiny on sale on the Playstation store, and after reading the feedback on the latest patch and expansion thought it was time to give it another go. This is after getting the original release on the xbox 360 then getting it again in a bundle with the ps4. The graphics upgrade from the 360 to the ps4 did make this worth it.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: white;">Originally after reaching max level then getting bored of the grind for light levels it fell out of interest and I stopped playing before any of the expansions were released. They did not seem to offer good value or much content. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: white;">The current version of Destiny is the original game plus three expansions, with the latest The Taken King being the largest, altogether it is a much larger game then when first released. The amount of content makes it great value now, they have also rerecorded much of the in game voice work and redone the cut scenes, making the story more detailed and easier to follow.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: white;">Its said that the Diablo 3 team gave advice to the latest work done on Destiny (<a href="http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Team_3">Diablo 3 Team</a>) and it really shows. Both Diablo 3 and Destiny are much better games than when they first released.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: white;">Basically if you liked the old Halo games or Borderlands 2 or Diablo 3 you should get on well with Destiny.</span></div>

<span style="color: white;">The last pick from the last year goes to Rocket League. I got this inclusively from Playstation plus, or I don’t think I would of tried it but it really is a little gem. The prequal for this, by the same developer, had such a great name, <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_Acrobatic_Rocket-Powered_Battle-Cars">Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars</a>.</span></div>
<span style="color: white;">

<span style="color: white;">It’s just a nice game to play, the clear graphics with the style of little remote control cars suits it well, the matches are not too long and even when on the losing side its not annoying and you can still feel good. Its much less annoying than being on the losing side in Destiny PVP. For a quick blast of fun it really hits the spot.</span></div>

With threes tiers of cards, half a dozen resources and a few 'Nobles' to offer patronage the game is a simple affair that offers plenty of things to think about and reasons to worry about what your opponents will be getting up to in their turns.

Players are merchants of the Renaissance trying to buy gem mines, means of transportation, shops—all in order to acquire the most prestige points. If you're wealthy enough, you might even receive a visit from a noble at some point, which of course will further increase your prestige."</span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tim picked up Splendor for us to try as an alternative to Dominion, we'd played that a number of times over the past few years and although we'd enjoyed it we always felt like it wasn't quite the game we wanted. I'm sure it was just us but games often boiled down to who picked up that little extra gold in the late mid-game, fun but not quite right. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The main trick in Splendor is that you only get one action per turn, this means plenty of stress as whilst you feel you have so little effect on the board each round your opponents seem to have completely changed the state of affairs by the time it comes back round to you. Your choice of action each turn revolves around choosing to take resources (coloured chips representing gems and gold) or spend them on assets (cards representing trade routes, shops or mines, etc.). Each card provides one resource you can use each turn too, allowing you to pay for more and more expensive assets.</div>

Eventually a player will win by having the most prestige at the end of the round where at least one player reaches 15 prestige. Prestige is collected from assets, the cards have values from 0-5 on, or patronage of nobles (a reward for having varied asset types in quantity). This building up of a buying engine makes for a slow and steady start followed by a scarily fast rush towards the finish as all players reach a point where the cheapest and even some of the better cards become free purchases and the board is in a state of constant flux.
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The simple design and clear colours make Splendor feel very in touch with its theme; something that we consider a big bonus to our games. It's of no surprise to me to see how many awards and nominations it received in the year of its launch (2014) and for only £25 or so it's great value in the money to hours ratio. Whilst there isn't a lot of content inside of the (way too big) box it all feels very nice quality and shouldn't get too easily destroyed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'd be happy to recommend Splendor to anyone who thinks they may be interested, and if you're really on the fence there is also an app version that is apparently very good and accurate for only a couple of quid (£1.99). We were certainly very happy with our New Years Eve entertainment. </div>Drake Poldragonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07710237345618842164noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089240000379603287.post-86238676818542846012016-01-02T13:24:00.000-08:002016-01-02T13:33:59.648-08:00Jay Played: 2015 in Review2015 was a good gaming year for me, we tried out plenty of new games, many with a Star Wars theme, played a good bit of some classics like Pandemic, Dominion and Dice Masters and finally tried out 7th ed. of Warhammer 40k.<br>
<br>
I record all my games played on <a href="https://www.blogger.com/boardgamegeek.com">Board Game Geek</a> which is a great feature. I not only know what and when I've played games but also note down who wins and who played etc, really fun to look back at, I have stats going back to 2012. This doesn't include time spent painting and building models or sat in front of the computer gaming. So beyond what I have here I've also been working on my Dark Angels and Mentor Legion Space Marines and played a lot of Shadowrun games from Harebrained Schemes and Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, an amazing group computer game.

<br>
<br>
Clearly up in the #1 spot is D&D, my group played all the way through the beta test for DnD Next and then at the end of 2014 we started playing the Horde of the Dragon Queen adventure module. It's been great fun, we've at this point only one character remaining from the original party after some killer DM weeks in a row and have a feeling of dread as we move in to the next module of the campaign. The last few sessions of the year have been a break from the Forgotten Realms with a classic Ravenloft adventure updated to 5th ed.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The five games of Muskets & Tomahawks were all in one evening. We were playing small 200pt games (about 20 men per side), of French vs. British in the Peninsular Wars the games were fast, bloody, fun and amazingly narrative. I'm really looking forward to finishing the two starter forces I started last year and playing more of this great game.
<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My biggest regrets of the year have been only getting in the one game of Bolt Action (we gave the Tank Battle rules a try) and three games of 40k. I came to the 7th. Ed. party late but am quite impressed now I've tried it. Finding the time to play miniature games is hard, but I hope to manage a little more of it in '16. </div>

When it come to Star Wars gaming the Fantasy Flight Games rpg has been the best of a great bunch. I've GM'd the three times I've played and really enjoyed the way the rules allow for anything to happen and really embrace the "Yes, and/No, but" attitude to roleplaying I like. On top of the great rules we have beautiful rule books and an amazing community (<a href="http://start.d20radio.com/home/the-order-66-podcast">The Order 66 podcast</a> and twitter are great places for support) that make it such a fun game. </div>

Okay, I'm Jay (@DrakePoldragon on Twitter), a British ex-pat in Norway and father to two small kids. I'm a gamer, nerd and big Star Wars fan. You may find me reading rpg rules, painting models for wargames or playing the occasional video game, likely from Nintendo or Bioware. My DnD group now play 5th weekly, I'm the awkward player who chimes in over Skype. Other than that my main hobby love is Warhammer 40k, I've a large and ever growing Dark Angels army as my focus, although I'm slowly getting more into historical and skirmish games.<br />
