What was I thinking when I came up with this list?

Mantic Deadzone, Kickstarter

This is one of the items I backed on Kickstarter.  It's a board game with miniatures and a derivative of Warpath, from Mantic Games.

X-Wing

Here are the photos from Nov when I got in a quick game of X-Wing to learn the rules and maneuvers.  This is a game that is quick to pick up and quick to play.  We finished this battle in under an hour.  

Mercs versus Scyrah

It's a sunny Saturday and we laid out 35pts of shooty Scyrah and mass infantry of Mercs.  Lord Ossyan led this force.  The Mercs were a force of specialists, with the McBain, Kayazy Assassins, Alexia Ciannor and the Risen, and Cylena Raefyll and Nyss Hunters.  No pictures from this fight.

This was an ugly game, with tricks being thrown around on both sides.  Kayazy Eliminators and Mage Hunter Solos faced off on the flank.  The Nyss Hunters charged their Mage Hunter Strike Force opposites, only to fall from the volume of crossbow bolts and swords.  Alexia fell to a charging Phoenix Myrmidon, losing her life and all of her Risen in one strike.  The battle ended with the Phoenix charging into McBain after leaving combat to finish McBain off before the Mercs won on scenario.

5th Edition Revisited

As the title says it, we went old school in our last group gaming session.  We broke out 5th edition Space Marines, Imperial Guard, Chaos Space Marines, and Tyranids.  It was a blast to pull out models that have been gathering dust and dueling each other.  Here are some of the pictures.

August going away

It's been a while since we've had most of the group together.  Too bad it's was a going away party for our resident Khador and Dark Angels player.  Good luck in all your future endeavors.

A lifetime of hoarding

I think the title says it all.  Since I had to pack and move, that meant I had to face the reality of owning a very large collection of miniatures.  This is best described in a series of pictures.
