Miniature Monday: Heroes from Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Just a short Miniature Monday today. This is some late WIP:s of three of the first heroes I started to paint up, and happens to be the three heroes we have in the first of our campaigns in Imperial Assault.

I really like to paint these miniatures up as they are quite different from what I normally paint, and although you can't compare the details with pure Wargaming miniatures they are really nice.

These are as I said late WIP:s there are the final touches left, like the last highlights, eyes, and extra details like source lighting from the lightsabre.

As a sidenote we lost the mission to obtain Diala Passil's (the Jedi apprenctice/wannabe) lightsabre past weekend so no lightsabre for her (this is my character in this campaign). So maybe I should paint it up in metal instead? :.( dammit!

Miniature Monday: Star Wars Imperial Assault Stormtroopers, Royal Guard and Probe Droids

Iv'e been busy painting up more stuff for Star Wars Imperial Assault. It's just such a fun game to play (currently running two campaigns) so I really want to finish painting these models up. Al tough the quality is superb for a boardgame, it's not like the miniatures you the in your typical miniature wargame (not far off though). So it's a little harder to paint them up nicely (not all, some are really easy). But in the end I think it does pay up if you try to do a nice paintjob on them, and it's awesome to see them on you board tiles as you play.

So for this Miniature Monday I have several new models to show you, hope you like.


Royal Guard

Probe Droids

Stormtroopers (more on the way)

Final hours of the Conan boardgame Kickstarter!

Just a remainder for you who haven't checked this one out yet. Look at the poster below to see all the awesomeness you get (so far). If it looks interesting, just click it to get to the KS page, let's unlock some more goodies now folks!

Kickstarter: Conan is going like crazy

I told myself not to get into to many KS projects this year, but I couln't let this one pass. It's a miniature based boardgame inspired by the epic tales Conan the barbarian, written by the brilliant author Robert E. Howard. I love Conan, and even if I´m not totally familiar with all the lore this project grabbed me straight away. And apparently that have happened to many others to, the KS campaign is really really successful already and we even have a couple of days left.

So why do I think this will be an awesome game that me and my friends will have many fun hours with?

1. It's Conan... need I say more? Okey.

2. The miniatures looks amazing, and even if they will be produced in plastic and many have the exact same poses (remember this is a boardgame first not a miniatures game) the plastic will be in really high quality according to Monolith The sculpts is superb and have a lot of character.

3. The game machanic sounds easy to learn yet giving you a lot of opprtunities and varied gameplay. The game simpley looks like it will be really fun and easy to play, last in this post I will share some of their videos showing basic rules and gameplay. I really recommend you to watch these, I got super excited to play it.

4. Bang for your buck. There's two pledge levels, I recommend the more expensive one called King's Pledge just becasue you get better value out of that one. You get so much goodies for that prize it's really amazing, and hopefully we will get even more with more stretch goals being crushed the last days of the campaign.

5. Varied game play. You get a lot of different characters, villains, monsters and other creatures as well as plenty of different and really nice looking gameboards and large amount of different scenarios, giving you the opportunity to have really different kinds of games. There will will even be tools to create your own scenarios on their upcoming webpage for the game.

6. There's some really talanted people working on this. Some of the best sculptors, artists and writers in the indutry is involved in this project.

So to sum it up, why haven't you pledged yet? I for one is super excited for this game, paint up the minis but mostly just play the game because it looks so fun.

So far this is what you get if you only go for the King's Pledge without add ons.

Also here's the youtube clips from Monolith showing you a game and rules etc. Really interesting to watch.
