Tiny Terrain Waystone

Miniature Market's Tiny Terrain Waystone is a cool small miniature that will go with most scales and settings, including fantasy. They do not sell the regular waystone but do the Spectral Waystone for $2.5 US funds. My two were painted with various dollar store paints.

Tiny Terrain Radar Dish

From Miniaturemarket is the Tiny Terrain Radar Dish. It is not sold at this moment but may pop up again. It was painted with various dollar store paints.

 It can be used with many different scales of models, except for the back part of the terrain.

The control panel is definitely for 25-35mm scale models but its not a big deal next to the smaller scale models.

Tiny Terrain Sci-Fi Power Cell

I picked up these Tiny Terrain Power Cell from Miniature Market for $1 US each. It was painted with various dollar store paints.

Tiny Terrain Jersey Barriers

I picked up these Tiny Terrain Jersey Barriers from Miniature Market for $1 US each. They will be suitable for Gaslands, Batman Miniature Game, and Horizon Wars. They were painted with various shades of Dollarstore grey paint after priming them black.

These are the regular Jersey Barriers.

 These are the Damaged Jersey Barrier A.

X-Wing Campaigns and Scenarios

I have been playing an X-Wing miniature game campaign off and on for over a year with a friend, called "Heroes of the Anturi Cluster". We picked it up again this past week with another four games.

My friend also let me know that there is a plethora of other campaigns and alternative scenarios, both for the first and second edition of the rules. Here is a small assortment:
1.0: Galactic Civil War, Defenders of the Empire, Flight Group Alpha, Alternative Play Scenarios, Aftermath of Hoth, Objectives for X-Wing
2.0: None seen yet.

End of 2018 and beginning of 2019

This year was quite the year of playing games.

To start I read only two game books, Malifaux: Broken Promises, which is the latest book for the Malifaux miniature game, and Horizon Wars, a 2mm to 10mm science fiction skirmish game that includes mechs and aircraft.

This year there were only 18 roleplaying games played and one megagame, down from 30 last year. Of the RPGs, nine were my own Star Wars force users adventure set during the Clone Wars (overview here), and the other nine was Blades in the Dark, a great heist style rpg where you are part of a gang in a dystopian world with no sun. The megagame was Watch the Skies were I played the Chinese defense minister for seven hours during an alien invasion (overview here). Looking forward to more Blades in the Dark, a new 5e D&D campaign, and I will be running a Star Wars: Edge of Empire adventure with the players making new characters.

For boardgames I played 102 of them, up from 75 last year. Most played was Pandemic Legacy (14), Dominion (11), Crib (8), Splendor (7), Azul (5), No Thanks! (5), and Lost Cities (5). New games played/have that I want to play more of are Virgin Queen, 7th Continent, This War of Mine, Betrayal at the House on the Hill, and Bios Genesis.

For miniature games, I played 86 of them, up from 51 last year. Guildball was the clear leader in most games played with 46. Malifaux (11), Gaslands (9 plus 3 demos), X-Wing Heroes of the Anturi Cluster campaign (8), Kings of War Armies of Men (4), X-Wing (2), Batman Miniature Game (1), Dystopian Wars (1), Star Wars WOTC (1) were the other games I played. I am looking forward to more games of Guildball, Gaslands, Kings of War, as well as the Batman Miniature game. Two new games that I will be playing in 2019 are Carnivale and Horizon Wars.

For painting miniatures, I have finished the following:
-30 for Batman (9 Brave and Bold, 7 Joker faction, 14 Free Agents)
-29 for Malifaux
-28 for Guildball (1 Mason, 21 Union/Solthecius, and 6 terrain)
-64 for Gaslands (16 terrain, 8 buggies, 4 bikes, 36 basic modifications to cars)
-18 Terrain pieces

I have also been participating in the Malifaux 3rd edition beta test but only through reading the changes because the local Malifaux players did not sign up. I can promise it will be quite the strong changes from crew selection and a tightening up of the rulebook.

Have a fun 2019! I sure did.
