(Kickstarter) Space Dwarves Auto Rifles by Macrocosm

Macrocosm's Space Dwarves line increases by a few figures with a small Kickstarter for six Space Dwarves Auto Rifles.

Minis are done in resin.  First pledge set is about $25 for a squad, $61 for three squads, withe extra squads added on for $21 or so. 

Shipping is not included until afterwards, and it is from the UK, but as a customer in America, they are my favorite international shipper.

Recording Rod

Originally from Chandrila, Lira was a holonet weather girl, and a mildly popular one to boot.  One she started getting to report from the field, she started noticing what was occurring across New Republic.    She cut her hair shorter, finally reveling the left scar across her cheek, and willingly enlisted in the New Republic army.  She has an uncanny knack of avoiding trouble, but also has been known to distract guards and hoodlums with her journalistic persona.

Living with a Non-Gamer Spouse

Another Monday, another game night with the crew.  I've been blessed to keep my Monday nights pretty consistent that we play something 40-45 weeks out of the year.  It's a lot cheaper than a poker night, and I get to see my friends who live in four different states on a regular basis. 

All five in the current group have non-gamer spouses (ex in my case).  Thankfully Monday Night Football has been a bigger reason for guys not making it from time to time then the spouses scheduling something.  

(TWERPS) Lady Vespara - Anti-Paladin Fly-By-Knight #CharacterCreationChallenge

I’m well into the second half of the #CharacterCreation Challenge, and I realized I haven't broken out TWERPS "The World's Easiest Role-Playing System."  Using Fly-By-Knights and TWERPS Magic, here's a simple take on a mysterious character from my Gamma World camapign.  

Lady Vespara - Warrior of the Human Kingdoms

Noble Warrior 

Strength: 7 

Equipment: 

Sword (+1 to hit)

Lance (+1 to hit in mounted combat)

Plate Armor  (+3 defensive Strength)

Shield (+2 defensive Strength)

Spell: Harm 2

Mount: Giant Bald Eagle "Wingston the Bold"  Strength 6, +2 Movement, +1 Damage

With the world still collapsing around them, the human kingdoms are relying more and more on technology to survive.  Lady Vespara, one of the few surviving Knights of Genetic Purity, uses her noble rank, her magicks, and a big-ass bird to recruit more pure-strain humans to return to the human kingdoms, and defend them against any unnatural threat.    

Vespara acts like she's in good faith for all people, but she heavily relies on her Harm ability when under the pretense of healing the non-humans, and calling them out as not worthy if they die.  

Gnomes vs Rats by Irrational Number Line Games

One of the website I've always loved and need to be better at checking is Irrational Number Line Games.    

It's fitting that the organization of the website is lot like their name, but they did have a Gnomes vs Rats game that I missed.  I love the buildings and the set-up.

(Pew-Pew) Crasher - Black Wings Driver #CharacterCreationChallenge

Day 18 of the #CharacterCreationChallenge and here's the third and final attempt at a GI Joe-esque character from the world criminal organization, The Black Wings

Crasher - Black Wings Driver

Nightcafe

Drives:

Causing Mayhem

Skills:

Scrambler

Driving Gloves

Vehicle:

The Thunder Talon

Blasters

Rear Smoke Screen

3 Gravity Implosion Mines  (360 Turret)

Shields  (3 uses) OOO

Vehicle Damage: 7 OOOOO OO

I used AI for the action figure image, a proper name for the behemoth of the vehicle he drives, and the edited toy packaging description below:

"Crasher tears across the battlefield with the unstoppable THUNDERTALON! Born on the streets and forged in the flames of demolition derbies and high-octane races, he’s the only driver crazy enough — and skilled enough — to unleash the fury of this thunder-charged behemoth! With a laugh louder than the engines he burns, Crasher crushes all in his path. The Black Wings call him a driver… but the world calls him an unmitigated disaster! "

Dragon Bait Miniatures Shuttering Operations

It's just recently that I noted the Assyrian Gnome (Dwarf) that Dragon Bait Miniatures posted on social media, and it's not that far in the past that they acquired the molds for Hinterland Miniatures.  

Alas, like all things with the hobby, the graying has claimed another good one, as they recently posted on their Facebook page that due to health issues, they'll be ceasing operations in the near future.  

For the next month or so, they'll be running a 15% off sale, as well as accepting inquiries for their various miniature lines.
