Last weekend I got a chance to use my Laser again in another Dropzone Commander game. This time it was with some friends in a three-army free-for-all.

Alright, so with my new Sniper variant underway, I wanted to break for a little bit before hitting up my next session of The Pit.
This time, we’re going to throw in another twofer (Pit be hungry, yo) with Billy & Ben.
I know I do a Wednesday Walking Dead update but Mantic’s Blog is dedicating a whole week to Walking Dead: All Out War so go check it out for previews on the Wave 4 releases and hopefully some “beyond Wave 4” news. Wave 4 isn’t the only thing getting showcased this week as I have version 1.0 of my first AI enemy for Walking Dead ready for use:

Thanks to Facebook poster, William Cuthbertson had an interesting suggestion to run a parent/child combo into The Pit. I liked the idea so I grabbed Morgan and Duane and started to set them up. I soon realized that this Pit session wouldn’t be complete unless the whole family was involved.
Mrs. Morgan wasn’t expecting the spotlight so she had to go under makeup.
This weekend saw the conclusion of our Dropzone Commander Winter Campaign.

The campaign coordinator had us bring our Aegis Orbital Defense Laser so I was glad to finish mine up for the game. I’ll have final pictures of that up later this week but for now, on with the game!
Just a quick little note on Dropzone Commander’s sister game Dropfleet Commander: TTCombat (who bought Hawk Wargames late last year) has gotten their webstore up and is celebrating by releasing some of the show exclusive models early. In there store, I stumbled upon this beauty:

I have the last game of our Dropzone Commander Winter Campaign coming up and the event coordinator wants to use the Aegis Orbital Defense Laser as the focal point. I’ve been wanting one of these for a long time so I thought it was high time I picked one up.
Welcome back, Walking Dead fans! I didn’t get to paint up a new survivor but the show must go on and The Pit is hungry. So without further adieu, I have Carl Grimes, Trainee Sharpshooter taking on The Pit.
It’s Ladies’ night Carl. Hope you can handle it.
Cutting apart my X-wing Miniatures Game Ghost model to customize the shuttle docking bay was just a precursor to my next big X-wing project: Uglies.
It’s funny how projects can get set aside and then sudden inspiration will strike and move the project forward. A friend of mine got me a Phantom II ship pack for the X-wing Miniatures Game. While very nice, I had initially made fun of the ship because I wasn’t aware of what it was- a replacement shuttle for the Ghost in the Rebels cartoon series. Being tied the Ghost, I was more interested and dug out my Ghost, still in its box.
It wasn’t sealed because it was part of a custom project I had started back in June, ran into some trouble and shelved to be completed at a later date. That date became last night.
