Kill Team: SM2 Mission

 

Having just painted my Lt. Titus miniature, I felt I should give the Kill Team: Space Marine 2 Mission Pack a go (free on the GW Community site). It has a slightly altered rules set, and stat cards for three Ultramarines: Titus, Gadriel, and Chairon, plus four Tyranid NPO cards: Tyranid Warrior, Lictor, Termagant, and Hormagaunt. Which I'm going to use in normal Joint Ops Kill team games. 

It's only one mission, but does have replayability, and will easily altered for more variances. I already have the outlines for a few new missions. 
Any game were Lictors are actually scary is a good thing in my book.


 A quick and fun time if you just want to break out some Marines and kill Xenos.

The Barbie Star Collective

 

Funny things can happen when you say "It doesn't matter". 

Fat Dragon has released the 5th expansion for Battlefront Valkyrie, a brand new faction with a very cool Cylon-ish feel. I asked Mrs. Blackheart to print them for me on her fancy Prusa XL, and she asked, "What color do you  want them?" 

I am going to prime them, and then spray a silver base coat, so it didn't really matter, and I said so.  

I kinda love my hot pink, A.I. controlled starships. I think I may just try a dark wash and see what happens.

Thunderhawk Stand STL

Due to a sudden increase in requests for the old Lexan Flight Stand (which is no longer available) here is a reminder that the STL for a nice stand is still up. I do not know if it will fit the newer Forge World model. 


The STL for Mrs. Blackheart's Thunderhawk Stand can now be found at:

It's free! So get one now.

*Thunderhawk not included

3D Printed Starship Game

 

Battlefront Valkyrie is a Starship Combat miniatures game from Fat Dragon. It is made so you print out everything. And it is quite easy to do so. The ships are designed to be printed on a filament printer with no supports, so it is quick and easy. As are the stands and game markers. The nice ship facing graphics are also supplied, I printed them out on photo paper and the result is impressive.

Two fleets come with the base game, both kinda Star Trek-ish, which I do love.

The Terran Fleet.

The Kurgun Fleet.

At the moment five small expansions have been released with a bunch more planned, including a new fleet. 

Painting was fun and easy, and they really look sharp on the tabletop. I'm printing the game tokens (filament) and the ship control cards (paper) and will be ready to try out this new game next week.

Advice from the Internets on reviving your (mostly) dead blog: Use cats.
