More New Toys Received

Whew, two more boxes of figures arrived in the mail last week. I had some travel plans for the weekend and thus didn't have a chance to really have a look at everything until now.

First up is my second and final package from the Freebooter's Fate - Legends campaign on IndieGoGo. I received 17 figures, each with a square plastic base, character card (actually two or more cards in both German and English), and a sculpted integral base that fits into the plastic one. A few of the character's names changed from the time of the campaign to release, but it only took me a few moments to figure out who was who.

The first package that I received back around Christmas included the rule book, game cards and a starter box. I'm quite looking forward to putting together a bunch of these figures. Several of the 'legends' figures come with extra components like alternate heads and arms with which to class them up. Likely I'll start with two of the starter boxes and add a couple of faction-specific legends to add some more variety.

The second box was my Dreadball season 2 stuff from Mantic. I've really enjoyed playing this game and the prospect of adding four new teams is really exciting. The striker pledge really was a good deal. I'll be looking forward to the stuff from their DeadZone campaign later this year too. Let's focus on Dreadball though...I received six teams (2 Female Corporation, 1 Robot, 2 Judwan and 1 Z'zor team), plus all of the season 2 MVPs. I didn't buy any cheerleaders or coaches, but I don't see using them anyway, and that's being hopeful that I can even get a second league running.

It'll take a little while before I get all of these put together. I haven't even started on the Freebooter's Fate starter boxes I already have, and I have several figures left to construct for Sedition Wars as well. Maybe I need to stay home on a few rainy nights and just hammer through all these things. Hey that might actually work...it's supposed to rain straight on thru Sunday!

Oh I forgot that I also received the last few figures from my Carnevale pledge back in April as well. Into the storage box they go. I still have those four starter boxes I put together a few months ago to paint!

New toys, new fun. Where to start...?

Yes the Freebooter stuff is quite nice. I'm not a fan of square bases but the sculpted ones that the figures come with are a really nice touch.

Too many toys not enough time!

A Spot of Fiction: Part 3

Outside, the two searching figures slowly return to the main building. As they approach the light from their flashlights reflects off of the building and their shapes resolve. They're wearing simple, nondescript military style uniforms and armed with automatic weapons. One of them snarls at the other, "There's nothing out here except coyotes, dirt and wind. Besides, if I were in charge I'd have come out here and checked it out myself!" "Yeah right! If you were in charge we'd all be dead already Carlson. That door was rusted shut, I'd bet money on it. Ain't no coyote cracking it open like that," says the second guard. They pause outside the door and turn off the flashlights and he digs a pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket. Lighting up a cigarette he offers the pack to his companion. "So if it ain't a coyote what the hell was it? Nothing around here for miles!" "I don't know Staves, but I'm not taking that...

Painting Dreadball - The Etherian Horde

You know what's really sad? I've got all four season 1 Dreadball  teams in varying states of painted-ness, but none of them are actually  finished . My corporation team was pretty much finished until I messed them up, but I'll be posting more about them soon enough. Anyway, after over two weeks of being displaced from my home I was finally given the go ahead to return Sunday. With hot water and electricity restored I had to begin cleaning unspeakable organisms from my fridge and freezer, start vacuuming, do dishes that had long languished in the sink, and of course...laundry. All the stuff people love to do right?! With most of that complete or in progress I sat down to some (in my opinion) much-deserved personal time. I flipped the TV on and broke out some figures that I thought would be relatively quick and easy to work my way through: Season 2's robot team! These things look a lot like the robotic Horde trooper minions that work for Hordak (from Masters o...
