Back from a long hiatus.  My last entry took place in January of 2015.  Last year was special, I got married and that took center stage.  Happy to say my excellent wife and I have completed our first year of wedded bliss.  We are still getting the hang of things, we are sticking to the three C's communication, commitment, and compromise.  Now that our home has settled into a steady pace, there's time to do extra things such as this blog.  I'm going to give it another go.

One of my favorite miniature games to date is Kingdom Death: Monster. I enjoy the way the game is set against the player, always looking to cut your session short.  The game play is unforgiving, if you make a mistake, your party will pay the consequences.  That alone makes ever victory a cause for celebration among the survivalists.  The only thing better then a hair raising game of KD:M are the nicely detailed miniatures included with the game.  When it comes to the models Adam Poots the game designer, hit it out the park.  Below you will see a few of my painted KD:M models, they were an absolute pleasure to paint.

Sendition Wars Extras

I finally received my second box of Sedition wars miniatures and terrain from the Studio McVey Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster Station on Kickstarter.  I am happy to finally have the rest of my items here at home.  Investing in a Kickstarter feels risky, since you don't know how things will work out in the end.  Stucio McVey delivered on their promise to make a game, and get it out to their backers.  Things took a while, but it's over with now.  If Studio McVey puts out an expansion to Sedition Wars, I'll definitely pick it up. 

Dark Potential

One of my favorite Canadian war gaming websites is Miniwargaming.com. This Ontario based outfit does it all.  The owners Dave and Mathew have a genuine passion for war gaming and it shows through the way they promote war gaming on their site.  Last year Mathew came up with an idea, to create a new post apocalypse table top skirmish game he titled Dark Potential.  Mathew turned to Indigogo.com to acquire the crowd funding he would need to turn Dark Potential from a concept to finish product.  Last week I finally received my Petrove-Morales Corporation and the X'lanthos starter sets in the mail.  The miniatures are all metal.  They look hardy, and a bit taller then Corvus Belli miniatures, but slimmer than Games Workshop miniatures.  I'm looking forward to putting them together.  I'm thinking of using Cool Mini or Not Dark Age base inserts, or Secret Weapon Miniatures town square bases.
