Wraith 20 Year Anniversary Edition

Of all the White Wolf games, Wraith was my favorite even though I never played a game. The backstory and theme of playing the recently deceased including playing another players shadow self just tickled me pink.

So when they announced an anniversary edition on Kickstarter, I went for it. It finally arrived several years late but what a product it is.

The font and art throughout are reminiscent of the original art.

The cover has an embossed chain motif, symbolizing the chains that tie the players to the world of the living.

The spine has a Wraith symbol and the title. Nicely done.

The pages are touched on the edges with silver and has lots of pages. It will be a treat to read through.

Horizon Wars - United and Insurgency so far

I've done enough work on two of my Horizon Wars factions: United and Insurgency. Its enough to have up to 14 pt games. During my half hour painting sessions at work over lunch, I will be working on more for up to 25 pt games, including flyers.

United

Insurgency

Horizon Wars - Ruined City

Painted with dollarstore paints is my Horizon Wars Ruined City terrain. It is Games Workshop Epic 40k terrain and I have more but wanted some just to have a few buildings for small games.

 My work in progress models with the terrain are my Insurgency models.

It was primed black, drybrushed dark grey, and lightly drybrushed light grey.

Ratcatchers - Goal and Balls

The Ratcatchers guild box comes with a goal, terrain (rough ground), and a ball. I also painted the Broken Toad kickstarter ball for the Ratcatchers. They were painted with mostly dollarstore paints.

 The Broken Toad ball is on the left.
