  • Star Wars Legion, Skirmish Warfare

    Considering signing up for a local Star Wars Legion tournament using Skirmish mechanics and getting out to try some competitive wargames. Never actually have tried this before, beyond friends and family, so a bit of a stretch for me. Of course, I am opting to go entirely new, and play a Rebel army instead of…

  • Crafty Twitch Stream

    As mentioned before, I am working to increase my live streaming presence, in many cases on Twitch. I have been streaming a number of times recently from my 3d printer, just a steady view of the printer at work with some status graphics – nothing too engaging, but simple to do. Recently, I have been…

  • Darth Maul

    The third model I have been working on painting this week is Darth Maul – a piece that was actually back-ordered for a very long time. I had even gone to the extent of 3d printing a proxy model, though I never ended up painting or using it. The model as pictured isn’t quite finished.…

  • Landspeeder

    Continuing my recent painting, and opted to spend some time on the old landspeeder. Still have several figures to go on and in the vehicle, but it is nice to finally have paint on this particular model. We decided to apply a snow-theme to all the Rebel bases, so eventually this will actually be more…

  • Super Tactical Droid

    A second model I have been working on, and recent acquisition over the holidays, is the recent Super Tactical Droid. The figure was fairly simple to assemble, being just a basic droid, and I opted to paint it in more neutral colors (rather than a special pattern of the named versions). Nothing too fancy here…

  • Painting again

    It has been a while, but with recent gaps in gaming, I am making some more progress on the painting backlog. My son and I are tackling more of the Legion troops, myself with a mix of Rebel and CIS forces, and George working on his Clone army. First up is an unlikely pair of…

  • Wednesday Legion

    Another Wednesday, and a new Star Wars Legion game pitting the Republic Clones against the CIS Droids. Mission selection ended up with a “Intercept the Transmissions”, during “Clear Conditions”, and a “Roll-out” deployment. I was playing my unmodified Droids, while Thad was playing George’s standard Clone force. Terrain was decidedly “fantasy”, utilizing a fair bit…

  • Warfare Wednesday Redo

    After the one-sided battle last week, we have challenged ourselves to repeat the battle, with lessons learned. Per our house standard, the victor (myself with Separatists) have not modified the force, while the loser (Republic) has made some adjustments. With those changes, a bit more time to analyze and consider the battlefield, and (hopefully) a…
