Long time since we've posted

It's been a real long time since anyone has posted anything.  Here are some pictures of my Ghostbusters board game from the Kickstarter I was apart of last year.  I also have a couple of my Robotech miniatures built and here are the pictures too.  I'll post some belated and annual resolutions later.  Enjoy.

Robotech RPG Tactics - Zentraedi

So here are my first Robotech models: Rico, Bron, and Konda.  First set of 3 has taken over an hour total.  I'm working on my second set, and it looks like I'll be averaging an hour for every 3 Zentraedi Battle Pods.  Not too many poses with the fixed feet and leg poses, but the arms, waist, and hip joints are adjustable so you can get more variation.  The main and chin guns are also on ball joints, so additional variation can be achieved.

At this rate, I'm looking at a 12 Pod Squad to take 4 hours to build.  The Battle Cry set has enough Pods for 8 hours.  I won't touch the Command Pods or Scout Pods until I get the 2 squads finished.

Update: Robotech Kickstarter

There's only 12 more days to get in on this Kickstarter as of this blog post.  This game will be released, but this is really getting an opportunity to invest into the game while it is affordable (assuming that these models are going to go up in price after release).  To help decide on what models and pledge level to look at, here's a copy of the playtested force org charts.

Robotech!

Why am I blogging about this?  It's because this is an opportunity to help get a miniatures wargame that has been in hibernation for 20 years out into the open.  This is the granddaddy of most modern anime and big robot shows.  I won't debate that other, more notable, anime titles that came before Robotech, but the influence on American audiences, good or bad, was helped by this 85 episode epic.
