Played our first game today. Was not good at all.  Points system is bizarrely unbalanced, way too many fiddly random modifiers and non-random modifiers. Assaults rules are far too unwieldy.

The system is a touch disorganised. It is a more complex system than Bolt Action since it adds a lot more tech, weapons and armour. It does take a bit of work…[Read more]

No blog post but here is a photo of my targeting probes

And the second unit of Privateers are now done.

Second Privateer unit finished

I do not. I was going to wait until I had the entire force painted and then do a group shot

And all of my drones are now done

The Privateer army has limited options for drones so these three are the limit to what I can add. In fact I can only ever take one of the Plasma drones and a Subverter maximum.

And a unit of Privateers are now done.

I also finished basing the other models that I painted previously.

And the first Boromite Weapon team is done

The basing isn’t finished yet as I want to do the basing in a large batch instead of a few figures at a time.

And here are the first set of probes that I have painted.

They are not based yet as tend to do basing in batches of 20 or 30 minis at a time

All of the initial models that I will be using are now built

I think Litko sells a product very similar to the Dropzone Commander parts

I believe that they will be resin and not plastic. There are rumours of a few additional types of troops as well

The Tsan Ra are being resculpted for the next edition of Antares. I am not sure but I suspect that Warlord will not be restocking them until the new models are available.

Are Ghar Empire / Ghar Rebels equal in difficulty to master or is one easier than the other?

They both have their issues. The Empire will have fewer activations until they start to use their Amplifiers. The Rebels have fewer suits and more activations but their troops are squishier.

Which starter do you guys recommend? And why?

If I was to get one of the current starters it would be the Strike on Kar’A Nine starter. I don’t think that the original one was very balanced or really that much fun. I would actually look at getting one or more of the army boxes. They cost more but you get a better selection of models and you can…[Read more]
