Episode 5 of the Legion battle reports should be live now, recorded in 4k. The audio problems from the prior session are gone (I remembered to use battery). The battle itself was relatively fast and decisive – it was fairly clear after about turn 3 where the victory was going. But it was a fun session regardless, and a useful chance to train another player on how to play the game. I do suspect that now that everyone has learned the game, future games are going to become much more competitive, and my win/loss record will quickly suffer. YouTube

This weekend is our next session of the Carrion Crown, with the group recently level’ed to level 7. The group has mostly resolved the issues faced at Ascanor Lodge and are now taking on the next stage of their journeys into the Shudderwood. As usual, the game will be streamed live, and we welcome any potential viewers. We ended up having to cancel the prior session, so most of the group is eager to continue the storyline. As a reminder, we have an active give-away for miniatures used in the campaign – simply leave a comment on the prior session…

The new Legion terrain is hopefully finished, and ready to go – I set up a starting play field for the current picture. As designed, the tiles can be rotated four different directions, and generally speaking, continue to line up. The boards are currently supported over our regular gaming setup on a set of fence pickets, which actually helps setup and tear down significantly, along with raising the play surface up a lot. Construction is based on 18″ squares of 2″ pink insulation foam. From there I either built up or carved into the surface, attaching as necessary with PVA…

For quite some time now, I have been streaming and recording our sessions and activities with OBS Studio. It makes it very easy to consolidate and pre-configure a great many things, and it is very compatible with my Zoom H6 audio recorder I use to capture all the audio. However, sometimes it is necessary to have some players remote, and for that we utilize Discord. When that happens, I routinely receive complaints about poor audio and difficulty hearing, despite numerous attempts to fix it. This latest Extinction Curse session was a good example, much frustration during the storyline, which made…

Continuing the work and printing on the life-size B1 Battle Droid, which is now able to stand on its own. Central body pieces are still printing, then I can tackle the arms and hands, but the main structure is intact. Total height to the top of the head is about 6 foot 4 inches, taller than me which was a surprise. The base of the statue is a 24″ round piece of wood, the feet will be secured to that stand for stability. Color scheme will be mimicking my Star Wars Legion figures, using a white undercoat and the airbrushing…

Our latest battle report should now be posted on YouTube, a recent game between an inexperienced Separatist and my Empire force. Very interesting battle that definitely shifted a few times over the course of the game and did not end how I expected it. This marks game 4 of our recent trend, with game 5 set for next week. Hoping to be able to continue releasing a game session battle report every week, though potentially will mix it up with the Armada or X-Wing at some point as well. YouTube

It seems that our recent content for Star Wars Legion is rather successful. Not breaking any major milestones yet, but the videos are far more popular than our ongoing RPG sessions. Won’t be stopping those anytime soon, but certainly pivoting for more wargaming content. Legion tends to be more time consuming – the games are a bit shorter, but the editing process is quite a bit more intensive. However, the recent surge in subscribers is definitely encouraging. YouTube With that in mind, consider a like and subscribe on the YouTube channel, and help us grow the community. I am edging…

Continuing the effort to craft a terrain board with a Hoth theme, and so far, the hills and rocks seem to be working well. I settled on a recipe for the grout mixture, which makes it fairly easy to mold. I suspect due to the filler material I add it causes the drying time to be much longer than originally (the fibers hold on to the moisture), but in general it looks pretty good. My next step is to spray down the surface with a PVA/water slurry, to harden and protect the surface. Then I plan on a layer of…
