Weekly Update - 2018/10/21

Week In Review Gaming Arkham Horror LCG - The journey to Carcosa continued this week with The Pallid Mask.  We got wrecked.  There were a few errors on our end, but definitely the scenario made it as difficult as it could be, and each of our investigators ended up taking an additional trauma of one kind or another.  Luckily for Roland, he took physical trauma this week. Menoth I have completed construction, including magnetization, of the Colossal kit, so I am now 100% constructed for the Mystery Box showdown!  No pictures today, but I will try to get pictures for next time. Spotlight: Arkham Horror LCG - Hard Mode That's right.  Hard mode.  As though normal wasn't hard enough, hard mode makes each draw from the chaos bag all the more terrifying, adding additional low negative numbers and generally worse effects from the bad stuff tokens. What does this mean for us, the investigators?  Anything we can do to accomplish the tasks faster, and with fewer cha

Week In Review Gaming Warhammer Underworlds!  Got in 3 games with Magore's Fiends.  They spilled a lot of blood for the blood god and I cruised to solid victories against the new Stormsire's Cursebreakers and the Chosen Axes. Menoth Finished construction and magnetization of the Guardian/Indictor heavy kit.  The only remaining model to complete from the mystery box haul is the Colossal kit. Harlequins No additional paint work this week. Sentinels of the Multiverse: Oblivaeon I finally received this Kickstarter reward including the Ultimate Collector Case.  I am going to try out some card sleeve varieties in the coming weeks to see how I would like to get it all together. Imperial Assault Well, that's right.  I finally purchased Imperial Assault. Having punched out all the chits it has become apparent I should find a better way to organize it all.  That is, better than the no organization that comes in the box.  I haven't decided what the b

Week In Review Gaming Basically none.  I did start a game of Defenders of the Realm with a distant friend on Tabletop Simulator, but that is the extent of my gaming this week. Menoth Lots of progress with assembly here.  Completed assembling Exemplar Cinerators and Starter Box.  Started assembly of Guardian/Indictor kit, which I plan to magnetize.  The only remaining pack from the mystery box is the Colossal box. Harlequins I did start looking at painting these guys.  I am going to be mostly following the GW guide for painting the first mini, which if you're interested can be found here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ospUJu2L2fA  So most of what I've done so far is get my painting set up prepared - found my brushes, arranged and organized my paints, and discovered I don't have all the paints I will need yet.  I did apply a quick undercoat of Abaddon Black on top of the Chaos Black spray primer, and I've started painting a couple sections wi

Week In Review Pandemic Legacy Season 2 We completed the November and December missions of Pandemic Legacy Season 2 during the first half of each month.  Out final score was 864, which put us into the best outcome category, and also a quick examination of BGG indicates that we even did very well compared to other gamers.  Spoiler free overall impressions of the game: Some people preferred the story of Season 1, but everyone enjoyed the new mechanics of the game, and we all had a good time with it.  I can definitely see how the game could spiral out of control if you were making different choices, but we were fortunate to not have to deal with that issue. We haven't decided 100%, but probably our next game will be Betrayal Legacy, which is currently due out in November. Gloomhaven We completed Scenario 8 and Side Quest scenario 63.  Won both times, though the side quest was more challenging for us than Scenario 8.  I reached level 3 with my Mindthief, but I was not blown a

State of the Games

    In this entry I am going to list each of the ongoing games that I have been playing and/or preparing for and give a spoiler free game state as best as possible.  I will also include pictures of any miniature work that I have accomplished for each game and specify if the next gaming session for that game is scheduled or not. Kill Team I haven't gotten to play this game yet.  I am excited for the opportunity, but it is not yet scheduled. Harlequins:  Finished getting all 6 cleaned and constructed.  Next task for them will be to prime and start painting.  See pictures: Space Marines/Necrons: I have some minis I haven't touched in ages.  Definitely might try to dig them out and see what can be done with them. Warmahordes Menoth: The next time I play will probably be the Mystery box matchup with my new Menoth, which is not scheduled.  Started assembling the Menoth starter box as pictured. Legion: The Throne of Everblight is together, b
