Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5

Would you like some Lion nuts with your beer?




The biggest and baddest Tabletop Kickstarter ever.  12 Million dollars?  YEP!  Kingdom Death known for their boutique horror miniatures made a game called Monster.  The latest release is version 1.5.  19lbs. of adventuring goodness.

I am one of the crazy people that bought into the game and I am extremely excited to play it.  The biggest draw for me as a hobby painter/modeller is the sheer amount of miniatures that come with the game.  You have to assemble your starting 4 and the first monster before you can even play the game.    The sculpts are so amazing and so detailed it is very intimidating to me as a novice painter not that I don't know how to paint them.  It's just that I fear I cannot do the sculpt justice.

The game itself plays 1-4 players in a series of Lantern Years.  In it players will hunt quarry to harvest materials they then use in the Settlement phase.  This phase is where you will develop your town and civilization with everything from fighting arts, religion, how you treat the dead, its very very granular.  There are many perils though in this universe and there is no guarantee that even your settlement will survive.  As your settlement and survivors make it deeper in the Lantern Years, more difficult enemies and nemesis will appear.  Just don't get attached to your character because they will die; it is a horror game after all, its ok though if you have been developing your civilization you can get another victim volunteer from town.




Tempted to turn this into a Lamp.


Ready for a dish soap bath, toothbrushing and then off to priming.

Unarmored Survivors ready for posing!  I need to channel all my Gunpla skills!

Not a KDM Game Piece but a Kingdom Death Pinup Sculpt - Base colours down - weeks to go! 
Ta Da!!!

Flashpoint Painting Diary

I hope that everyone had a chance to decompress during the holidays and recharge your batteries for 2018.  My Christmas was full of family stuff and I was hoping to get some more board gaming in but alas I succumbed to a nasty flu virus and was knocked out for 4 days. Anyhow before any of that happened I managed to make some progress on the miniatures for Flashpoint.   When we left each other last you saw a preview of the HAZMAT Operator: Colour Diary When ever I am going create a painting diary post I am going to list the colours so that, if you at home someday are reading this blog you can follow along.  Citadel Paints are easily found in most Gaming Stores and if you are in a large city and have a Games Workshop they would carry the full line.  When I started painting I bought a lot of Citadel paints, but about 4 months in I switched over to Vallejo because it comes in a dropper bottle.  Let me tell you how much easier it is to work ...

Magic Maze

Don't let yourself get attached... ...to anything that you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner. Nominated in 2017 for the Spiel des Jahres; losing out to Kingdomino.  Magic Maze is a co-operative realtime heist game for 1-8 players.   In the game you are a band of adventurers who has lost all their stuff!  How can a Barbarian slay without Steel?  Can a Dwarf and an Elf have a orc slaying competition without an Axe and a Bow?  And our poor Mage without components you just have a nice squishy target.  So what do you do?  You embrace your inner Mallrat, engage in some shop lifting and then try to escape the mall without getting caught . The game features some cool game mechanics.  Because there are only 4 pawns everyone controls all the pawns.  What happens is that at the beginning of the game the starting map tile is placed on the table with the 4 pawns on it....
