Both look good on the pitch and they are good smashy teams. </span><div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">Chaos are pretty straight forwards as a team, but lacking a defensive combat skill and are not great with ball skills.<br /></span><div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">Khorne needs to be played by a coach with more skill and luck than me though. I did not play optimally and that led me to some bad frenzy blocks.<br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAgaLkXc34ylYVFMa1bkUzHoV1ffqUAeQyI8E8_vaG-RsSksqJoqEZDwzBOUdi01D57JJPB27kAVm3kIG8Ym09sqk72MmNKyMtclgMQwaUbZ-d33xgf_xMFB3Qr5MTrWs73KPIjm-_bSQwG5E4e5NhlI9eWFLUAq03V131wgdA7e0Pu-l0nxUbB-ZB/s1613/Filthy%20Elveses.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Contrail One;"><img border="0" data-original-height="907" data-original-width="1613" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAgaLkXc34ylYVFMa1bkUzHoV1ffqUAeQyI8E8_vaG-RsSksqJoqEZDwzBOUdi01D57JJPB27kAVm3kIG8Ym09sqk72MmNKyMtclgMQwaUbZ-d33xgf_xMFB3Qr5MTrWs73KPIjm-_bSQwG5E4e5NhlI9eWFLUAq03V131wgdA7e0Pu-l0nxUbB-ZB/s320/Filthy%20Elveses.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">Next the Filthy Elveses. The Wood Elves and Elven Union went together quite well and they painted up nicely. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">The Dark Elves were another story. A pain in the butt to build and they took ages to paint because I did not have a colour scheme that I liked. Finally settled on a burgundy with a drybrush of a vibrant red. This contrasts well with the green of the Cold One hide.<br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR1Po141CIUhH5URVPSikCxLOPrCDY3eUV-rcJY6m61o6jtMLGd71e1Cy2Zm1OKMejRarXp0DzqZTAKkPREGlI4n_aUr3ygQTrtw7MGXssI5VKYJhBapakpJDNATBA0JilVAw663O_FO1FvkABsDtGe2Eadrbr4uQvQrjdmoqYwefBc8hKZc978yLt/s1613/Greenskins.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Contrail One;"><img border="0" data-original-height="907" data-original-width="1613" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR1Po141CIUhH5URVPSikCxLOPrCDY3eUV-rcJY6m61o6jtMLGd71e1Cy2Zm1OKMejRarXp0DzqZTAKkPREGlI4n_aUr3ygQTrtw7MGXssI5VKYJhBapakpJDNATBA0JilVAw663O_FO1FvkABsDtGe2Eadrbr4uQvQrjdmoqYwefBc8hKZc978yLt/s320/Greenskins.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">Greenskins are some of the most fun and frustrating teams to play for me. They have a lot of strange things going on with them, Goblins and Snotlings especially, but they are massive risk/reward teams. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">The Snotlings have yet to be played because it took me a while to get the impetus to paint them. I do not like playing with unpainted teams.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">The Orcs get stuff done, but their Animosity can throw a wrench into the coaches' plans on occasion.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">My Black Orcs painted up well. They Black Orcs are great miniatures and they are very simple to paint. The Goblin Bruisers were less fun to paint, but they are decent on the pitch.<br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcptoqwEw3nY7_t5qWnZUCJkgWfYB1HQnWLBiby9LYUf5b2fTstdeVUYbH98ULSY6Uyyc7q7erow-4xMMVs2lwEeupLG-1gU2NH9lqAlXLeKokQnUv9eKStKVlDOTNwmQQEx4Nlp1qORMG0myoxsClt7v0bcYa7BwLNgXQHXUI4oIcZpjN_BVb7PaJ/s1613/Halflings%20Dorfs%20and%20Ogres.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Contrail One;"><img border="0" data-original-height="907" data-original-width="1613" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcptoqwEw3nY7_t5qWnZUCJkgWfYB1HQnWLBiby9LYUf5b2fTstdeVUYbH98ULSY6Uyyc7q7erow-4xMMVs2lwEeupLG-1gU2NH9lqAlXLeKokQnUv9eKStKVlDOTNwmQQEx4Nlp1qORMG0myoxsClt7v0bcYa7BwLNgXQHXUI4oIcZpjN_BVb7PaJ/s320/Halflings%20Dorfs%20and%20Ogres.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">Halflings took a while to be finished because I wanted a nice treeman for them. Saw GW's effort, and decided to make my own using the old Treekin kit. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">The Dwarfs were done speedily and I have yet to try them out. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">The Ogres have been played a fair amount and they continue to both annoy and surprise me with their plethora or lack of Bonehead rolls. Gnoblars are annoying to play against, my opponents say.<br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq76kQ4o48YuA73jMfecc2-ORLUo7rJqBc13ls12nXkK_rcI38B4_xGy-LJmNYw_FehquZEoOsgpa7DREnoMmxhWNKve_jgz3lopoIXwB6VASQK36tOo_nIhq7TNQQtCQNDe_6GtBk_zib9YohpGHKSFYXAeMRAvuUGQMs47trEs7pjSbdHzyhSBuN/s1613/Human%20Teams.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Contrail One;"><img border="0" data-original-height="907" data-original-width="1613" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq76kQ4o48YuA73jMfecc2-ORLUo7rJqBc13ls12nXkK_rcI38B4_xGy-LJmNYw_FehquZEoOsgpa7DREnoMmxhWNKve_jgz3lopoIXwB6VASQK36tOo_nIhq7TNQQtCQNDe_6GtBk_zib9YohpGHKSFYXAeMRAvuUGQMs47trEs7pjSbdHzyhSBuN/s320/Human%20Teams.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">The Human teams. Imperial Nobility was THE most annoying colour scheme to pull off. Using the vibrant green against charcoal grey and black was likely a dumb idea, but they do look good on the pitch. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">Norse were fun to paint and they are surprisingly good. Block and the Valkeries are the main reasons for my success I think. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">The Human team.... I still do not like their models, but they are a good team to start learning how to play with. I still need to finish off their coins.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">The Amazons were my fastest team to paint. 3 hours after building, and undercoating. Contrast paints and a bit of Gold, covered with a wash. They are good to play with as well, although they can struggle against some teams. <br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxuOhSySerC7t6HRFD-UjC_ZTt2jp5UzaImIEd_sTl65SPZG0nAuN3H-g3klGHd1MJSxf3KT-gKM_L5oLpoIqO5_fRreiTACX8ujWzC1yhcq5T0b_0YDYflqR5lcZeO7FMxTQN0dGmGS35R6ZPUCyNUI9TKPuaYVpdSTEvLBmN1L8s1buON5Z4k5iE/s1613/Nurgle%20and%20Lizards.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Contrail One;"><img border="0" data-original-height="907" data-original-width="1613" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxuOhSySerC7t6HRFD-UjC_ZTt2jp5UzaImIEd_sTl65SPZG0nAuN3H-g3klGHd1MJSxf3KT-gKM_L5oLpoIqO5_fRreiTACX8ujWzC1yhcq5T0b_0YDYflqR5lcZeO7FMxTQN0dGmGS35R6ZPUCyNUI9TKPuaYVpdSTEvLBmN1L8s1buON5Z4k5iE/s320/Nurgle%20and%20Lizards.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">Nurgle and Lizardmen always look good on the pitch. Lots of niggling details on the Lizardmen, but the Lizards are one of my favourite teams to play with.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: "Contrail One";">Nurgle is less fun on the pitch, but they do look awesome.</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2f9EOMKXHJJ8_y86F_ag0KnTRPdWWlpwe9U9vAJkWS00tZbWR9k53LQykws1mRBiyPb2tBVkfTEiaicYm9vsyS5x-xi0-XkC1gFu7xObFFSE_220hMhC6OkUdfi6RvheRIqmtBNx3uJ0VN0rWDehfctBojUfJDMlMYgdtEyAArDJFjg73mE-QYRPV/s1613/Undead%20Teams.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Contrail One;"><img border="0" data-original-height="907" data-original-width="1613" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2f9EOMKXHJJ8_y86F_ag0KnTRPdWWlpwe9U9vAJkWS00tZbWR9k53LQykws1mRBiyPb2tBVkfTEiaicYm9vsyS5x-xi0-XkC1gFu7xObFFSE_220hMhC6OkUdfi6RvheRIqmtBNx3uJ0VN0rWDehfctBojUfJDMlMYgdtEyAArDJFjg73mE-QYRPV/s320/Undead%20Teams.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">The Undead teams can also be used as a College of Death team.

A mess of cheap Goblins for fouls and the Skaven for getting things done. The Troll, when he works, can get stuff done. The addition of the Rat Ogre will be much more entertaining though as a big guy. </span><p></p></div></div><div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">Skaven are one of the easiest teams to pilot for me. Insane speed and ball handling with the thrower and the Gutter Runners, cheap, but fast Linerats and some hitting power in the Rat Ogre and the Blitzers. I would like to see some alternate Skaven Clan teams in the future.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">So, that is 22 teams. Only the OWA and Chaos Renegades are not counted amongst the plethora of teams. Blood Bowl scratches an interesting itch for me. It has a simple enough rules set, but a lot of variety in the teams. Also you do not have to go too nuts with painting 847 guys to field a valid force.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">We have had a few (2) tournaments with some of the participants using some of my teams for various reasons. We used the Blood Bowl 7's rules as it sped up the games so we could get at least 3 games in per day.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Contrail One;">It has been a hell of a journey.

Greetings,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Here is my Nurgle Team. Gloriously draped in a pinkish-purple and a subdued green. I was also playing around with Nurlge's Rot and trying out different skin tones on the Nurgle Blockers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The box is pretty good. 4 Blockers, 2 Pestigors and 6 Rotters. It is not quite the best fit for the team but it is passable. More Pestigors and Rotters are needed for more flexibility in starting team builds though. In the box you have 4 Blockers, 2 Pestigors, 6 Rotters and 2 Re-Rolls.</div>

<br /> These were really quick to paint to be honest. It was also the first time I have used Nurgle's Rot. It is one of the more fun Technical paints to use and also one of the easiest ones to figure out what it looks like while you are still painting it.<br />

Greetings,</div>

It has been a long time, but I have not been idle. Very much not idle.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Here is a start to what I hope to be a prolific resurgence of posts. The next dozen or so should just be about my Blood bowl teams. They are all based around a simple colour combination to unify them as a modern sports team would be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The basic colour scheme is orange, brown, black with silver and brass armour. All GW paints, some getting on to be ancient, some will likely disappear soon.</div>

The first 12 miniatures are all contained in the plastic team box from GW. You get some variant heads and the build is pretty much what you would want for a starting Chaos Chosen Team.<br />
<br />
Then I went a bit silly and bought the Minotaur Big Guy from Forge World. The miniature was really easy to put together, but it did require the gluing of a coin to the bottom of it as there is a hell of a lean in the pose.<br />
He is numbered XVI, but that is mainly because he is unlikely to be used in a regular game as Minotaurs, while fun, are not as predictable as people would like.<br />

I do have the dice as well, but they are currently at work. I Will do a separate post about them soon-ish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I hope that this will do as a re-entry into blogging again. I am going to set up a better photo booth and play around with my camera functions a bit more to hopefully take better photos.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These were a lot of fun to paint and go to town with the insignia and the different logos upon the vessels. I can't wait for the other ships in the fleet become available.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Greetings,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a follow up on the Morkanaut that was painted a while ago.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DYXVrCQEJoM/VBbdlndGEDI/AAAAAAAACM8/-f0ssPltGMk/s1600/L1010284.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DYXVrCQEJoM/VBbdlndGEDI/AAAAAAAACM8/-f0ssPltGMk/s1600/L1010284.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Full view of the Morkanaut from the front. He has a similar paint scheme as to my other Orky stuff, so he has a pretty intensive red paint scheme and flames upon the armour plates.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qKrIr2XgOd4/VBbdluaz_7I/AAAAAAAACM4/wz-sBRmlslo/s1600/L1010285.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qKrIr2XgOd4/VBbdluaz_7I/AAAAAAAACM4/wz-sBRmlslo/s1600/L1010285.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A close up of the upper torso and the head. The flame decals upon the left shoulder is one of the only ones that I am not a particular fan of. The triple flame doesn't look like it works as much as some of the others.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eifyeVo56a8/VBbdli0Zr4I/AAAAAAAACNA/u6Hn8FE70eM/s1600/L1010286.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eifyeVo56a8/VBbdli0Zr4I/AAAAAAAACNA/u6Hn8FE70eM/s1600/L1010286.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The skull glyph upon the belly plate was fun to do. The flaming green eyes add a nice spot colour to the front of the model.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qxrhNI1qG0o/VBbdotpSr7I/AAAAAAAACNQ/A_Bq8IgfKjo/s1600/L1010287.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qxrhNI1qG0o/VBbdotpSr7I/AAAAAAAACNQ/A_Bq8IgfKjo/s1600/L1010287.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a closer look at the flame design added to the Kustom Mega Kannon. It is hard to discern the difference to the red due to the angle of the photo, but it was the flame design that I am the most proud of.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is the other side of the head. This is the Cylon-esque head. It isn't as good as the other side of the head though. It needs a jaw to go with it due to the amount of dead space on the top of the belly plate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh and by the by, the base isn't dealt with due to me not wanting to affix him to a base due to transport and storage issues.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here is something a little different to my recent painting. I only got this on Saturday. He took about 80 minutes to finish, including a little bit of green-stuffing to marry up some of the parts better.. i am pretty happy with it. The base needs some work though. I am postulating possibilities at the moment...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The following species are called the Kedorians. These are for the Zenian League and they have a very different playstyle to the rest of the Zenian League. Their main weapons and omni-directional, but not turrets. They can put the same firepower out in all four arcs. All of their vessels have shields, a very rare thing in the Zenian League. The battleship, carrier and cruisers can use battle shunts (or they can purchase the upgrade). They move slowly in general, but with them shunting around the battle space can be very horrifying for opponents.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Greetings,</span></div>

Apologies for the lapse, but here is another game review. This is another one that was played on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGaCjM2hal4">Tabletop</a>, while I wasn't enamored with one of the guests, the game itself was rather nice and simple mechanics and a lot of random chance, dashed with some strategy.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
By Richard Garfield</div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Published by <a href="http://www.iellogames.com/">Iello Games</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">King of Tokyo is for 2-6 players, ages 8+. It is a quick game to play, a 6 player game can take 30 minutes if people know the game well, and there is little deliberation during the players' turns.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
In the box you get the teeny-tiny board, a deck of cards with purchasable upgrades or boosts, 6 plastic bases, 6 very thick card monsters, a control panel for each of the monsters (each control panel has two dials, 0-20 for victory points and 12 to skull for health), about 50 green cubes which are used as currency and eight special dice(6 are black with green symbols, 2 are green with black symbols).</div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The aim of the game is to either be the last monster standing or to get 20 victory points. How you do this is roll the 6 dice (which can be altered by in-game events) and choose to either keep certain results or re-roll any of the dice a further 2 times. On the dice there is six different symbols; 1, 2, 3, heart, claw and energy. If you roll three of the same number you get that number of points. If you roll a fourth, fifth or sixth number that is the same as the triple, you get a further point, for each one of these numbers.</div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
i.e.</div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2,2,2 = 2 victory points.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2,2,2,2= 3 victory points.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The energy provides currency that can be used to purchase cards which give power ups and extra abilities.</div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The claw does damage, with a couple of caveats, If the player is not in Tokyo, then the monster(s) in Tokyo are the recipients of the attack, and vice versa if the monster in in Tokyo. </div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The basic idea is, those monsters in Tokyo only attack those outside Tokyo and those outside Tokyo only attack those in Tokyo.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The heart heals a single point of damage, but only if the Monster is not in Tokyo.</div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><u>Anatomy of a game turn.</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If the person was in Tokyo from the start of their turn they get two victory points.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The person whose turn it is rolls the six dice and chooses to keep or re-roll any of the six. They can even choose to roll dice that they had kept from the previous rolls. But there will only be a maximum of three rolls.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The dice sides are totalled to check the effects. Damage is scored upon the other monsters as mentioned earlier. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If a monster in Tokyo has been damaged, they have the option to flee Tokyo and the attacking monster takes it's place AND gains a victory point. If a monster in Tokyo flees the attacker MUST take it's place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After the attacks have been resolved and the monsters may have moved then the player may choose to buy one or more cards if they have the energy to do so. They also have the option to burn the cards and have them replaced for 2 energy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The game continues until one of two conditions are met. Only one monster is alive or one of the monsters has managed to get 20 victory points.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Good Points</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2-6 players from the box and a small set of rules to follow. Changes to this mainly happens via the upgrade cards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lovely artwork which is all in a single style. Only a few things that are remotely gruesome, but it is a game about big, stompy monsters...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">High quality of the game pieces.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is able to be tailored to fit the audience. I remove things, or change the victory conditions so that I can play it with my students.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You can't pick on a single person for long as you get rotated in and out of Tokyo pretty quickly.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Bad Points</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some people just don't like it. It can be too abstract for some gaming groups (one of my classes really found it boring)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There is no real difference between the monsters apart from cosmetic. This has been dealt with in the first add on pack.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Killing monsters is not the best tactic. Going for a victory point win is often much safer. This does depend on your gaming group though. Some of the best games we have had in my classes is when people went for killing other players.]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Players can be eliminated before the end of the game. This does lead to some issues in some gaming groups.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Some of the cards are strangely worded. Their effects are not that complex, but the wording on some of the cards could cause some issues.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2 players isn't enough. You need at least three to get a good swing of power going. 4 or more is better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Overall</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I really like this game. I have used it with my students who, apart from one class, loved it. The older students liked it better, especially when I was able to join in after getting the first expansion (making it a 7-player game with the Evolution cards). Playing it with my friends has been good on the whole, but since we only managed a one on one it wasn't as fun. This is really a game to be played with more people. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Greetings,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here is my second part of the board game reviews. I don't quite know how many of these I will end up doing, but they are pretty refreshing. The next game was created by Philippe Keyaerts.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The basic background of the game is that small tribes of humans were alive before a tiny event happened 65 million years ago. These humans had an ability to alter the genetics of the dinosaurs. This obviously takes time, but each turn is over a few thousand years to show climate change. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Speaking of climate change, there are two main things in the game that force people to alter their dinosaurs. The climate will most likely alter from one turn to the next. The map has 4 different coloured regions, white, yellow, brown and green. Every turn a counter is flipped and a dial is used that will show how the climate alters. These changes to the environment will show which region are fine to inhabit and which will need fur or thermo-regulation adaptions for the dinosaurs to survive. There is also one or two regions that are completely unable to support any life. If you are in here when the climate change occurs then your dino is a kebab....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The way to survive is by using adaptations. You can get extra feet (+1 move), horns (extra attack and defence), fur (one dinosaur can survive in a cold zone for each fur), thermo-regulation (same as fur, but for hot zones), eggs (+1 baby per turn) and special. Ignoring the special for the moment. These evolutions are one of the better parts of the game. It makes people want specific evolutions to survive the current round, but it will also allow them to play for the long game since they have a rough idea of the likely climate changes if they have played it a few times.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">How people get these adaptations is by bidding for them. You can bid from 0-6 points. If you bid 6 points you get the evolution automatically. There is always number of (players -1) evolutions on the bidding board. The final slot is taken up by a card which is normally pretty powerful, but it will only work a single time. The fur/thermo-regulation adaptations are always good to have, but eggs and feet work on a more regular basis. Horns are the one that is kind of strange. Unfortunately, you can't build an effective strategy around attacking people with horns. The pay off just isn't there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There is also a number of special adaptations. These range from extra feet (+2 move), and flying (one dinosaur can move 2 spaces instead of 1 for the cost of one move) to Killer Babies (in the birthing phase you can place a baby in an opponent's space and roll the combat die. You have a 2/3 chance of killing the opponent no matter their horns) and chameleon skin (your dinosaur token isn't removed if you lose a fight, if there is an available empty space to move to).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There is also a regular token that reduces the cost of adaptations during the bidding phase, but we don't use this as it detracts from the game itself and makes it a lot less fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Good Points</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2-5 players. There are 2 double sided boards in the box one for 2, 3, 4 or 5 players.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Wooden dinosaurs. These are cool, especially if you are used to card or low quality plastic tokens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lots of variation due to the different tokens for the adaptations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The artwork. I know some people would buy the game for the player sheets and frame them. They are that good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The box fits everything in there without any muss or fuss after you have finished playing. This is an insane boon to anyone who buys games and wonders why they can't fit back in the box after they have opened it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bad Points</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are some lethal combos. Killer Babies (see earlier) and Hardened Shell (babies can be placed up to 3 spaces away). Tactical nuclear killer babies was the phrase we coined... This was devastating.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Wooden dinosaurs. How can this be a good point and a bad point, I hear you ask. Well, there are 5 different player sheets showing 5 different dinosaurs. The wooden dinosaurs are all Apatosaurus... It is annoying being the Tyrannosaurus and having your blood curdling dinosaurs being represented as a bleeding herbivore!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Colour choices for the players is.... interesting. Red, blue, black, purple and pink.... Why not yellow or green?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Overall</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The game is a lot of fun. There is a chance for huge swings in momentum where one person trying to benefit from one adaptation becomes hampered when another one is, for the moment, more beneficial.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is also pretty easy to make small changes to suit the players. I have played a slightly watered down version with some of my students in Korea (no cost reducing vial and 3 of the more complex cards were removed from the deck), which was really blood thirsty. The other was with some of my friends. The wife of one is totally freaked out be frogs. One of the tokens looked like a frog and it was hurled across the room we were playing in. That token was removed in future games....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is my 100th post. A rather significant milestone, but I had wished to have reached it about 18 months sooner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have been doing a lot of painting and gaming recently, but not a lot of posting due to the horrible heat in Korea at the moment (mid to low 30's Celsius during the day and no colder than 24 Celsius for the past month or so at night) and the insane humidity (80%+ everyday) which makes the temperature feel 5 to 10 degrees hotter. This coupled with a new boss at work, new responsibilities, picking up an extra 10 hours teaching and doing a project with a friend , etc... All of these things make my brain go wibble.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What I have been doing recently is playing a number of board and card games. This is mainly because they take up a lot less time to set up and pack away than a 2000pts Fantasy army.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have been playing (in no particular order), Smash Up, Small World, EVO, Shadows Over Camelot, Blood Bowl: Team Manager and Pandemic. Links to each game's web page and the company producing the game (if any) will be placed on the game or company name at the start of the review.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I will start with two games in this post and follow up with more in later posts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_minisite.asp?eidm=130&enmi=Blood%20Bowl:%20Team%20Manager"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Blood Bowl: Team Manager</span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">By Jay Little</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Produced by <a href="http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/">Fantasy Flight</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Blood Bowl is a passion of mine. The miniature game is one of the most enjoyable games that Games Workshop have EVER produced. The mechanics are complex on appearance and the number of skill have the appearance of being broken in the extreme. Multiple platforms to play the basic game or minor variants allow the game to be played at a dizzying array of levels.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Blood Bowl: Team Manager allows Players to play through a season in a much shorter amount of time. Typically 4 to 6 rounds, each round consisting of 2-3 games per player (2 games normally, 3 games potentially if there is a tournament being played that round).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are 6 teams in the basic set (Humans, Dwarfs, Wood Elves, Skaven, Chaos and Orcs), along with a multitude of cards and tokens. This was my second game from Fantasy Flight, so I was well aware of the high level of quality of the components in the box. The tokens are thick cardstock. The cards come in two different sizes, basic playing card size for the game cards and half sized for the upgrade cards. There is also a pair of custom dice that represent the block dice in the board game.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The game is primarily a card game. Each player either randomly selects a team or chooses one to be for the entire game. Orcs and Chaos are more damage output orientated, Dwarfs are more into defensive plays and denial, Wood Elves and Skaven are more into running or passing, while the humans can do a bit of running or hitting. the teams as the cards go are pretty balanced and they are like their tabletop compatriots.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As soon as they upgrade cards are added the game starts to work in a number of different ways.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">the game can be played with 2-4 players and I have had fun with all of the different number of players, but the best fun is really with 4 players. I have played this with gamers and with people who didn't think that they were gamers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Good points.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lots of humour in the cards. It is similar to the actual board game with the insanity of the universe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is pretty easy to pick up and play. Normally after one round players are understanding the mechanics of the game pretty well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Banter... This game brings out the best/worst in you. The banter my gaming group uses isn't as bad as some as other groups I know of, but the taunting and abuse hurled between the players has made the game run a little longer than normal, but it had been more enjoyable because of it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bad Points</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For my own preferences there would be no Humans or Wood Elves in there. Humans appear to be very bland, although I do win with them lots, and Wood Elves are tree-hugging-hippies. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Skaven upgrades can be an issue. The Skaven team gets a lot of thematic upgrades that makes any loss almost as good as a win. It means that they will always get points even if they lose. It may even be better for them to lose instead of win depending upon the available matches.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cheating tokens. You will need more. Due to some of the cards and events that are available we almost ran out of tokens.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You need the FAQ. The rulebook is a little unclear on some of the interactions between the cards.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Other points.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There is an expansion pack (<a href="http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_npm.asp?eidm=163">Blood Bowl: Team Manager Sudden Death</a>). There are three new teams; Vampires, Dark Elves and Undead. My issue with this pack is that it came and was sold out quicker than I could buy it. The three new teams add a different mechanic during play. Check the link for an idea of it. Since I haven't got the add on I can't really comment about it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Overall.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The game is really fun, seriously. If you like Blood Bowl, give it a go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.alderac.com/smashup/"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Smash Up</span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">By Paul Peterson</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Produced by <a href="http://www.alderac.com/">Alderac Games</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I saw Smash Up on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZpMEVQYBO8">TableTop</a>, hosted by Will Wheaton. This game looked AMAZING! It was actually one of the most watched episodes of S2 of TableTop that I have watched. A nice simple concept of multiple different decks of 20 cards.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Choose two of the decks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Shuffle them together. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Play. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is that simple.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The box has 8 different decks (Aliens, Dinosaurs, Ninjas, Pirates, Robots, Tricksters, Wizards and Zombies) with the cards being either Minions or Actions. There is also 16 'Bases' which the players fight over. Each base awards a number of points whether you come first, second or third, the winner is the first to 15+ points. The bases sometimes have an attribute that can alter how points are gained for the final victory or they will alter how Minions are moved once the base has scored.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Rules are simple for the game. Each turn you can play one Minion and one Action. The description of the cards effects may allow more actions accordingly.You can get some ridiculous daisy-chained combinations. A Wizard and Robot deck I had made me put down 9 cards in one turn.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here is a very basic overview of the different decks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Aliens- they can move enemy cards back to their owner's hand making them go over the 10 card limit. They can also disintegrate cards putting them at the bottom of the players draw deck.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dinosaurs- aggression, aggression with a side of outright devastation on the side.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ninjas- Stealth, last minute points seizing and assassinations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pirates- give faction mobility and other smaller movement shenanigans along with the mass slaughter of low power Minions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Robots- Powerful abilities that boost Minion power and allow extra Minions to be placed as a single action.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tricksters- Masters of denial. Not overtly powerful, but they can be really f#%@^$* annoying.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Wizards- They can do multiple actions. One of the best companions for Robots. Extra Minions and extra Actions.... YES PLEASE!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Zombies- uuuuuuuuhhhh...... They are Zombies. Their discard pile is their best friend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have played the game as 1 on 1 and a 3 player. Both versions of the games were pretty good, but I do want to play a 4 player game.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
Good Points<br />
<br />
Pretty cards. The art design is very good on the cards.<br />
<br />
Simple gameplay rules. The play a Minion and an Action a turn works nicely.<br />
<br />
Different decks. Each deck does play very differently from the others, some of them compliment each other very well, some not so much. There are no useless pairings though.<br />
<br />
The box holds the basic set and it has enough slots for both of the add-on packs.<br />
<br />
Bad Points<br />
<br />
The colloquial nature of the rulebook. For people who don't have English as a first language the book is pretty hard going. It uses a lot of colloquial English and it can be hard going if you are unaware of its usage.<br />
<br />
The card rules can start HUGE chains of cards and it can be rough for the players to keep track of all of the things going on at the same time. Check the TableTop video to see what happened to Will Wheaton during the Smash Up video.<br />
<br />
Other Points<br />
<br />
there is one expansion pack out now <a href="http://www.alderac.com/smashup/awesome-level-9000/">Awesome Level 9000</a> which has 4 new factions (Killer Plants, Steampunk, Bear Cavalry and Ghosts) and 8 new Bases. There is another expansion set out in September; <a href="http://www.alderac.com/smashup/the-obligatory-cthulhu-set/">The Obligatory Cthulu Set</a>. The second expansion pack includes 4 more factions (Cthulu Cultists, Elder thingsa, Miskatonic University and Innsmouth) and 8 more Bases. These two packs bring the decks to 16 and 32 Base Cards. All oif these decks can be mixed for a much more varied game.<br />
<br />
Overall.<br />
<br />
This game takes some time to get used to it. It is really fun after you have got a few games under your belt. After you have a bit of experience it is an amazing game.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Greetings,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It has been a long time since my last post as the busy workload that I mentioned about in my previous post has increased (.....yayyy.....).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here are my latest offerings for the Aquan Sebrutan Fleet.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tsunami Heavy Cruisers</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WKgJAr8uE_c/Ufcc5bNdgqI/AAAAAAAAB4E/z-tS0S0IBl8/s1600/L1000582.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WKgJAr8uE_c/Ufcc5bNdgqI/AAAAAAAAB4E/z-tS0S0IBl8/s320/L1000582.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These vessels are bruisers. They work better in a full shoal of 4 as they can target enemy vessels with silly amounts of firepower and they each have a shield, which can stop some of the incoming fire from becoming too hideous. They can also take a lot of damage as they have 5 hull points instead of the normal 4 for cruisers.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Poseidon Battleship MkI </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-env1Vcbus9s/Ufcc2Uqx_TI/AAAAAAAAB30/C8-YUnl6Go0/s1600/L1000584.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-env1Vcbus9s/Ufcc2Uqx_TI/AAAAAAAAB30/C8-YUnl6Go0/s320/L1000584.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Poseidon is a pretty good workhorse for the fleet. It is fast and has a relatively high damage and critical rating with 2 points of shields in tow. The torpedoes and mines are a nice addition too, but I need more luck with them.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Manta Battle Carrier</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MBK6H7XQ5Tk/Ufcc-84V1KI/AAAAAAAAB4Y/yMgRBUQUFNs/s1600/L1000585.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MBK6H7XQ5Tk/Ufcc-84V1KI/AAAAAAAAB4Y/yMgRBUQUFNs/s320/L1000585.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This vessel makes the Poseidon look like a girl. Better firepower, more hull points and carrying 9 wings over 3 for 30pts more. The benefit to having both in one list is that the Manta's cost comes out of the Carrier allowance and not the Battleship allowance, so I can have both, whereas other fleets have to choose.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These are a joke, and not a good one. You have to get within 8-16" to do any good with your weapon load and that means that if you don' kill something pretty damned fast you will lose some of these to the enemies retaliation. No shields and a low damage and critical rating means that these are only taken if points or numbers are neeeded.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Oh these ships....</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have wanted to get these since I first saw them, years ago. Their stats are not bad for their price of 65pts. Long range torpedoes. close to medium range boresight forward guns, and slightly weaker broadsides. But the caveat to the vessel, 2 shields. These things shrug of damage like no ones business.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now the only issue that I have with them is their constrction. The engine and main hull is resin. The orange/red energy thingy in the center is plastic, bit the rest of the model is metal. This thing is rather over-balanced. And getting the three metal strips to match up in actuality and not just by eye was a pig.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I would still like two more though.</span></div>

Greetings,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Been having a hell of a busy fortnight at work, hence a lask of posts. I have bee painting though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Here is my current fleet for Firestorm Armada. My fleet is from the Aquan Sebrutan, and they are fish people... well aquatic sentients at any rate (their species includes whales, dolphins, humanoid water breathers, crabs, lobsters, squid-thingys and more. Just don't mention a smorgasbord...).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The paint scheme is more or less sorted out. The hulls are painted in a variety of purples and greys, and are washed with a purple ink. the weapon crystals are the reddish orange blisters and the engines will be a two tone blue, when I get around to finishing them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The ships, on the whole, are simple to put together. Unlike most of the other faction fleets, the Aquans are mono-piece. In fact, the only multiple piece vessel that I currently have is Zoidberg.... ahem... the Medusa Class Dreadnought (the big, tentacled monstrosity).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Manta Battle Carrier. This is kind of like the Battlestar Galactica</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Medusa Dreadnought. This is like the Battlestar Pegasus</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Poseidon Battleship. Hits similar to the Manta, but with a much reduced strike craft compliment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X2xDGkB4IQU/UbPIsUchJQI/AAAAAAAAB20/goVDF8_dLuY/s1600/L1000519.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-X2xDGkB4IQU/UbPIsUchJQI/AAAAAAAAB20/goVDF8_dLuY/s320/L1000519.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The three vessels on the left are called Stingray Class Destroyers, The central three are Storm Class Cruisers. The three on the right are called Tsunami Class Heavy Cruisers and the six minnows at the front are called Piranha Class Frigates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Fleet's basic characteristics is a mass of broadside power from close to medium range, backed up with a mess of torpedos and strike craft. The vessels are pretty fast and they do tend to attack like schools of fish. Swarming their opponent and shooting from every angle. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the only flaw I have with the Aquan ships is that they are rather insubstantial compared to the other races. the Poseidon is 13 and a bit centimeters long, but that pales in comparison to the vessels of the Dindrenzi. The design of the MkI vessels aren't as good as the MkII either. When the starter fleets came out in Orctown all of the other fleets were snapped up quickly, apart from the Aquans. I hope that this will not be a sign of things to come.</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Greetings,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here is what I have been doing this past week.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Buzzcut is a MVP Guard, someone who hits people into paste. He is of unknown heritage, maybe Orx, maybe some kind of Ogre-esque breed. I like the look of the green better than the official model painting him as an Ogre.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Z'zor are painted with a brown dermis and an orange carapace. The eye colour is different for the position that the model plays. Red for Guard, yellow for Striker and blue for Jack.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Me and my friend have started playing a mini-league on Sundays. Starting with the Sunday just gone. We have both played with every S1 team and I have played with all 4 S2 teams and he has played with the women. The S2 teams do require a bit more thought to play with, especially since, apart from the women, they are so alien to the S1 teams.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Z'zor has him a bit worried though. We played a Marauders vs Z'zor game (using SP201.b), and the Orx took a hell of a beating. I managed to drag out the score due to hitting things and being incompetent. I finally scored around turn 11, leaving him two rushes to score, which he did. I have never seen the Orx take such a beating from any other team. I didn't cause any deaths, but for about 4 turns he had only a single Orx on the pitch and there were none on the pitch for two turns... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Z'zor Guard is insane to start with, but having two in the starting team...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Not that I am really complaining though.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The paint scheme is a mix of reds and oranges, using green as a spot colour and purples for the lenses. There is a gold/bronze used for certain areas too. </span><br />

Here is my most recent painted miniature. He is one of the new-ish GW multi-part plastic hero models. He went together pretty easily, but I am annoyed that there is only a single pose and no other options for pose or wargear. The actual options in the Codex are similar though, as in not many at all for the entry...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
One thing that annoys me is that there are no drones in the pack. They are really the only visible pieces of wargear that he is likely to get.</div>

The colour scheme is similar to the Orks I have. The Tau are going to be used as Allies for my Orks as it allows me to have more Klank...<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I tried them out using a Imperial Armour 8 Ork Dreadmob 1000pts list yesterday. They died to Ghazghull, but they almost killed him. If it wasn't for a 'Lookout Sir!' he would have died. The FW list allows a lot more Deff Dreads and Kans to be used, but it does allow some changes to the way the normal Ork units are made.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here are all of the Orks that are finally painted. Deff Dread, Battlewagon, 8 Burna Boyz and 5 Boyz. I am currently working on 8 Lootas, which are about 40% done.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here are some photos of my recent-ish efforts.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Cameronian has come out looking more like a fox than a werewolf, but this is one of the complaints with the model in general. I think it is awesome, and I like the idea of it being more like a fox anyway. One of my more successful attempts at tartan and layering of orange and blue.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">William Wallace is a nice little miniature. The tartan doesn't work on him though. I shouldn't have tried to put a red in with the blue. I like him otherwise.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Sepulchre Knight wasa lot of fun to do. I used masses of layering for the tabard and the heraldry. The blues need more work, but they are a damned sight better than I used to be able to do.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have had De Fersen painted for a while. I tried to do a slightly different heraldry scheme on his tabard. There is an older Korean flag from the 1900's, with a different ying-yang pattern. I tried to emulate that and I think it came out well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Greetings stinky humans!</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is the future of your worthless, pitiful lives! Death and slavery for the Glory of the Morat Supremacy!!! Oh, and the Evolved Intelligence!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The RaiZot (or Raicho, as it is called by forces from the Human Sphere) is a fairly average TAG. The main weapon is a multi-HMG and then there are two basic variants through a different secondary weapon system. One has a heavy flamer, which is never anything to stick your nose up at. The second has a heavy grenade launcher. Armour 8 and 3 structure points means you can expect similar from other no-frills TAGs in the same weight class. It is a little bit cheaper than similarly armed TAGs of the same weight class, although only by a few points.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The biggest thing it that the Morat Aggression Force can have two in their sectorial force. Taking two would be nice, but you can't have Imetrons in the Morat sectorial, so having two becomes more of a liability than a good idea. Cheap order ONLY happen in other factions. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lacking in any form of Camouflage or ODD (Optical Disruption Device) means that unless you are hugging cover or hiding in smoke, there are no penalties, barring range, to shoot at you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was a pretty simple TAG to throw together though. It did need the arms and legs pinning though. I made a mistake in not attaching the 'puppeteer,' arms on until last. This was a big pain in the proverbial... I was swearing like a sailor in Orctown trying to attach those little blighters!</span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The biggest issue with the model is that it overhangs the base. A LOT! Similar with the Jotums and Dragoes, it is in dire need of needing a 50mm or a 60mm base and not a metal addition.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yes, I am a sad nerd who wrote 'RaiZot' in Morat characters. I think I slightly got the method of writing them mixed up though. It appears that each syllable should be written vertically, top to bottom, instead of horizontally. this way looks prettier though.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The hair was really easy to do, but it does make me wonder why all of the Morat have 80's metal hair?</span></div>
