One of my impulse purchases at Adepticon this year was Wreck Age’s new Seed Bank two-player starter. $60 buys you two five-model crews, a mini rulebook, and a bit of terrain. A pretty good value all around.
It took some time, but I finally got around to painting it up, starting with the Stakers.
The Stakers are the homesteaders in the dystopian future of Wreck Age. They’re just trying to settle down and build a community.
The package is a great value, although some of the detail is a bit muddy.
The Wreck Age game itself seems to be a hybrid between a RPG and a wargame. The rulebook even suggests having a narrator / GM. That makes it a bit hard to fit into my game schedule.
The Forgotten Marshall is the final model needed to complete my Forgotten collection. In game I like to give him The Whisper, to either summon a model or tee up for nice attack. His summon is a bonus action, so worst case he uses it to consume the worst card The Whisper lets me see.
Even though Wyrd has announced a special fishy edition of the Rogue Necromancy, I’m still happy with my classic version.
It’s actually a somewhat difficult model, as you need to figure out what everything is, and make them different without being too loud about it. As usual, I use metals for the stitching. Even though it’s not very realistic, I like how it exaggerates the stitches without drawing too much attention to itself.
I’ll probably still get the fishy version to play with my pirate Molly. Maybe this one will get more play with McMourning.
From time to time I’ll reach into the hobby vault to feature models painted before I started this blog.
Assault Terminators pouring out of Land Raiders has always been a key image for me in 40k. So naturally, when I started playing the Land Raider was one of the first things I picked up.
It never performed nearly as well in game as I thought that it should, but that rarely stopped me from trying again.
I magnetized the turrets to allow play with either modes, although I don’t think I ever brought it in the flamer-tastic Redeemer edition.
