Batman The Animated Series was a staple cartoon that I watched as a kid and when I first got into Knight Model’s Batman Miniature Game, I was excited to see that they had some Animated Series figures. Unfortunately, they only had a handful of minis and with the game being heavily skirmish-based, you couldn’t make much of a team out of their offerings. The minis were great but they needed more of it.
As I mentioned on Friday, we had an intro to painting session with a friend that has decided to join the hobby fold. He’s been on the sidelines, listening in, but now he’s ready to get into the game. I decided to start from scratch so we first put together a mini from the North Star Frostgrave Soldiers set and then dove in with the two models I assembled/primed earlier.
No, this won’t be a new series, it’s just a cheap alliteration. I still have stories that need be told from my adventures at Gen Con and I wanted to focus in on my Frostgrave experience in particular. The best event I participated at the ‘Con was the Frostgrave free-for-all hosted by the game’s designer Joseph McCullough. The host was nice, the game was great and everything was well run.
This weekend saw a lot of Dropzone as we celebrated a friend’s birthday with a bunch of Dropzone Commander games going off simultaneously. With 6 players, we had all five factions represented and I did a poor job of capturing the event as we had several interesting games going on. My map featured the orbital defense laser in the “Laser 2” scenario from Reconquest Phase 1. The Shaltari v UCM was river defense layout and the Shaltari v Scourge was a custom narrative scenario with some elevated highway terrain.
Likely not a very inspired post but I took all the photos I could of the new expansions coming up for Song of Ice & Fire Miniatures game at Gen Con 2018 and figured I should post them up for others to see.
During our Dropzone Commander event at Gen Con, I saw a clever hack to the standard flight stands and wanted to make sure I duplicated it for my own forces.
With my Gen Con days concluded, I only have a quick wrap-up of some final thoughts and this year’s spoils.
The final day for Gen Con 2018 was upon us and there wasn’t much for me to do except run my last two events of the Con. First up was my third annual Loopin’ Chewie tournament.
With half of the Con down, Saturday started with the usual crush of weekend attendees. I tend to avoid the dealer hall on the weekend as it is just too crowded. Instead, I had my Dropzone Commander event in the main event hall.
Gen Con 2018 Day two began a little later, thankfully and was tournament-free. Up first was the Frostgrave Event with the designer, Joseph McCullough.
