    The Beginnings of My Minion Force 

    Got some pig goodness today and got to work on them right away. I’m hoping to have a playable 25 point force by a tournament on the 21st.

      Carver and 2 War Hogs eh? What list are you planning on for 25 points?

      • Larkin Vain 12:10 pm on August 11, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        Based on what I have I’m thinking of doing the following:
        Lord Carver
        2x Gun Boar
        2x War Hog
        6 Farrow Brigands

        Still need to work out some tactics. :)

      No worries! And thanks for the mention here. I’m already planning our group journey to Gen Con next year. We need to talk promo-ing for Press Passes…

    Malifaux Monday 

    Played 2 games of Malifaux on some awesome terrain made by Pat Ota of Senji Studios. First game I played with Rasputina and a 30 Soulstone crew. The game was very intense and ended up in a draw. The second game I play with McMourning and it was very brutal. I had some lucky draws which lead to some dissected pigs. I had a total blast with the Ressurectionist force that I may build up on it some more. Also nurses are awesome. Here are some pics from last night.

    AE-Bounty Is Here 

    Just got this in the mail yesterday. I only had time to do an initial thumb through but it looks really good. I’ll post more after I have had some time to read it more.

      I picked this up as well as all the minis for AE Bounty at Gen Con.

      I’m enjoying the book but so far I haven’t been able to get in a game. Seems all my buddies are stuck playing computer games!

    Quiet for a while 

    Just a heads up that I will be very quite here on my blog for a while as I am in the middle of a big renovation project for my house. Lots of stuff has been packed away and put into storage.

    Voltron Monsterpocalypse Initial Thoughts 

    Today I got an advance copy of Voltron Battle Miniatures game. The set is a stand alone set that is compatible with Monsterpocalypse. Included in the set are 22 figures. 1 Voltron figure, 5 Voltron Lion figures, 5 Voltron Galaxy Garrison Cruiser, 1 Lo-Tron, 4 Robeasts and 5 Lo-Tron force Skull Ship figures. Also included are 4 health tracking tokens, 4 dice tracking tokens, a double sided game mat and 1 full color rulebook.

    The map smaller than the normal Monsterpocalypse map and measures roughly 2′ x 2′. There is no building placement or strategy in this game as all the “terrain” elements are right on the map. On each side are rules references for each corresponding side so thumbing through the rulebook to look up a special ability is not require nor is checking the base for special abilities. There are elements on the map that take place of your standard Monsterponcalypse health tracker (the one that comes in starters) and takes place of requiring each player to have their own set of dice. Cardboard token are used to keep track of life and dice pools on top of the map. The downside to this method is that the tokens can easily be knocked out of place.

    My Ashlynn Conversion 

     
    • Wally 6:32 am on June 9, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      Very nice. I may do this as well. Of course if they do a epic Ashlynn then I may not need to do this

      • Larkin Vain 11:42 am on June 9, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        Thanks!

    • Koldunlord 9:40 am on June 9, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      That is awesome! How much filing did you have to do to get the pieces to mesh?

      • Larkin Vain 11:43 am on June 9, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        Surprisingly not that much. I used by clippers to but the original arms off and used a Dremel to file down.

    • Quixotic 10:23 am on June 14, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      This looks great! I have been holding out hope that they will release an alternate sculpt.

    • Pink Foam 6:41 pm on August 10, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      Wow. I absolutely love what you’ve done here. This model looks great, so much better than the original warcaster. I plan to attempt this myself (with credit where it is due) I feel so inspired haha.

        Glad you like it. Thank you for the kind comments.

    • Askew 6:35 pm on August 11, 2010 Permalink | Reply

      I really like this. I mean I REALLY REALLY like this. I’ve wanted to pick up Ashlynn forever, but hated the model.

      Besides the listed pieces, what other modifications did you need to make? Any green stuff sculpting or hacking apart bits?

      Also, hope you don’t mind if I steal this formula for my own Ashlynn :-)

      • Larkin Vain 8:14 pm on August 11, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        That’s just about it. No green stuff just cutting off the old arms.
