Ehh, that's kind of what I was figuring. Most of those cards seem to only have a few unique pieces of information anyway. Seems legit, especially until they get off their bums and make another run of those ships that are coming up hard to find. Obviously the kind of thing you won't bring to a tournament, but also the kind of thing your friends and local players really shouldn't be inclined to care about.

Yeah, I don't see myself playing in any tournaments. I only got the game to play with friends at home over Christmas.

My whole plan from the start was to just make a small 'self-contained' Star Wars game, using only the base set, the Millennium Falcon, and Slave1 to balance things out. That would have given me Luke, Han, Chewie, Lando, all the most famous ships and Boba Fett as the bad guy. That sounds like quite a comprehensive scenario, so I never wanted to expand the forces beyond that.

But yeah, not being able to get the Falcon or the Firespray anywhere was a major spanner in the works. I ended up getting the Lambda and the Yt-2400 instead to try and make do. But the Lambda isn't much of a match for the Outrider, and it didn't feel the same with half the characters and the most iconic ships missing. Which is why I decided to just try and proxy the missing ships.

I'm not really sure what to do with the other ships now. It seem like having the Falcon and the Outrider together (both with 360 turrets) is going to be a bit unfair on the Empire team, and the Lambda isn't very fun if it's the only ship you get to control. Perhaps I'll house-rule it that the Lambda can pivot once stopped, that might solve some of its issues and make it feel a bit more agile and shooty.

Today, I need to tidy my hobby room... It is such a mess!

The Revel Mini milenium falcon is a pretty good deal. think I got mine for less than a fiver. Sadly my girlfriend knocked it over at some point and the cover for the cockpit is lost to the ether.

Today was fun. Played through the tutorial of Star Wars Imperial Assault and then created a smuggler character for Star Wars Edge of the Empire.

I think the Lambda is mostly there to support your other ships anyway, being hard to control is likely part of it's deal... but you're right that it may not be as fun to solely control. The Lambda is more the opposite number to the HWK anyway, the YT 2400 seems to be more balanced against the Decimator. At least in terms of being both large ships that were released in the same wave, much like the falcon and slave1.

Good to hear it Carlos, always warms my heart to hear of other gamers gaming

Revel Falcon huh.. may have to look into that.

Just gonna throw this out there... saw it while looking up the small one:
http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Millennium-Falcon-Model/dp/B0013J5QQ0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418577926&sr=8-1&keywords=revell+star+wars+snaptite

If you watch the video, the little Han and Chewie components look fairly similar in scale to 28mm models. Could make this Falcon a nice centerpiece for a 28mm wargame table And it looks to go for around 35 bucks Or maybe 40, I guess that other one sold.

Still working on the endless vampire counts hordes

Still working on BA, now Death Co and HQs, and mixing it up with some neatening/repainting on Malifaux and Infinity stuff. Hopefully there'll be a large update on the blog tomorrow, pending lighting ect.

I got my Dreadball Xtreme today, wrote an unboxing and tried out the first couple of turns as well.

Already found out one major tactical error to avoid.

Game looks good though, just need to flatten the mat out over night.

Trying to make a hill out of cardboard. Probably should have used better cardboard. Maybe it'll be a... really ugly hill, instead.

The first of many ...

Adam, that looks pretty good!

Today, get hobby room tidied.

I am going to work on my Steel Legion a little more this morning, then off to the hardware store for some MDF board for a gaming table I want to make.

Is that a Dreadnought pod?

That Drop Pod looks damn good. Nice scratch-built!

Centurion Sergeant and Half of another Centurion assembled, hopefully today I take care of the other one and then I'm ready to paint more Terminators!

I may very well read through the free infinity 3rd edition rules today.

Found a new formular for my banana marines

i think this is the one

Shiny! Bonus points for getting yellow that clean!

Yeah those look good

Let us know how you find it Carlos, I don't think I'll have time to look today.

Making some fluff for my space marine chapter.

Also, great yellow!

GW put the templates for that style drop pod in french online years before the new Forgeworld Dreadnaught drop pod was a thing.

The doors are the most fiddly bit to shape and glue, so I'd rather only deal with it 3 times per drop pod instead of 5.

I have only had a cursory glance through so far. Will have a better look later if I dont end up trying to finish off a Flames of War Vickers machine gun team.

Finished Treeman, working on some Hellions.

Working on some Mantic Orcs. Would prime but it is still raining a lot outside.

Drawing looks better than I could do, nice work

Got a few games of Mars Attacks in. It's quite fun.

Researching Pulp Alley, may be playing that soon.

Today, I want to hot glue many skeletons to MDF movement trays, prep more Dreadball Convicts and get the rest of the grass paper glued to by 6x4 MDF board.

Painting 20mm Austrian Grenadiers as I get into Napoleonics using the Black Powder system.

OSL Day..

I may have accidentally started Raven Guard army...

For the first time, I actually got interested in painting black doing my Death Co, and having dug out an old Tactical Squad and some Scouts, decided they needed painting up... So yeah, SM army number 7 is underway... I may have a Power Armour problem...

Also tidied up some more Malifaux.
