3D Stands and Stuff

 

We have put Mrs. Blackheart's STLs all in one spot for free! Just a recap, she currently has two bases for Eldar and Tau vehicles, the Doomsday Ark stand and a new 3-figure movement tray for 28mm bases.

Get them here!

Plague Marines

 

I've finished my test squad of Death Guard Plague Marines. Sorry for the bad contrast with my painting surface. There will be some action shots soon.

The box set includes seven figures with a good deal of options. Of course not all figures can have all options, so you must plan a bit. I'm still torn on this design concept. On one hand, it does make for some really nice dynamic poses, but at the coast of not all parts being useable on all bodies. 

I think my biggest gripe is that they come in a box of seven. Sacred number and all that, sure. But nowadays if you are using Power Rating, not points, you can take them as a squad of five or ten.

Awkward. I just wish the Codex editors/playtesters paid just a smidge more attention to odd situations like that.

That aside, they are very good models and fun to paint.

Old Lictor Pics

I found these unpublished pictures from a few years ago. Clearly from 1st edition Kill Team, (well not really, that would be from...3th Edition?) Last edition, 2016 maybe? Kill team version are not super clear anymore, if they ever were.

Whatever. It does make me realize the new Kill Team really needs Lictors.

Horrified: American Monsters

 

Horrified American Monsters is the follow-up game to the hit game Horrified (I gave it a quick look last year). It is a stand alone game, so ownership or knowledge of the original game is not necessary. 

It is the same gameplay, but it has a new map, monsters, items, and characters. Which is not a bad thing at all if you liked the first one. As the title suggests, the classic monsters have been replaced with Cryptids from all over the United States. Five of those are pretty well known. I was stationed in South Dakota for four years, been to the Badlands a few times and somehow never heard of the Badlands Banshee. Pre-internet times were different...

The biggest question is of course, should you buy it if you already have the first one? If you enjoyed the first one and want some more variety then it is a must buy. Fairly inexpensive, it is a good gaming value.

There are no official rules for any kind of cross-over between the two games, but I'm sure it would not be that hard to figure out something. The only real issue would be starting placement and other location based gameplay. Now I want to try that out.

There has been no word on a third game, but a real expansion for this should be straightforward. Plenty of cryptids that are not in the game, although I would like to see a "Grey" alien as a creature. One can only hope.

It's a fast and fun game, and we enjoy it. Give it a shot if you are looking for a lighter solo/Co-op experience.
