Galactic Heroes - Star Wars. Another Forest Moon!!!

-
To help christen some new 4ground Star Wars inspired terrain, we had a game of Galactic Heroes. Taking inspiration from 'The Return of the Jedi', we set-up an Ewok village and some Imperial buildings.

Looking towards the Imperial Bunker.

The view from the Bunker end.

The Imperials and the Rebels were given different missions. For the Imperials, they were to capture or kill as many of the Rebels as possible. For the Rebels, it was a case of getting the two missing droids back to the Rebel camp.

The Imperials advance.

The Imperial plan was to keep their troops on the ground and intercept the Rebels after they found their missing droids.

General Solo finds R2D2.

Splitting their forces, Imperial Stormtroopers advanced through the Ewok village and across the forest floor. Accurate fire from Chewbacca forced the Imperials to find cover.

Ewoks and Rebels locate C3-PO.

Stormtroopers spy the Rebels and open fire!

An Imperial Officer leads the way (not for long!).
 
Stormtroopers advance.

The Rebels pour fire down on the advancing Stormtroopers.

The Rebels prepare to make a last stand.
 
Even the great Chewbacca is taken down!

The Rebels managed to get R2-D2 and C3-PO off the table. However, the Imperial forces managed to capture Chewbacca and the Rebel Commandos. Only Han Solo and various Ewoks escaped for the Rebels.

We're all going on a Tribble hunt!

-

Inspired by the 'Attack Tribble' that appeared in an episode of Star Trek: Picard, I found some suitable miniatures that would lend themselves to gaming. The Attack Tribble from Star Trek: Picard I purchased these Triblite sculpts (designed by Lost Heresy) from a TwistedPinnacle3D on Etsy . The sculpts needed a little TLC upon arrival, as a few of the Triblites were misprinted. Also, some of the base rims had broken and neded repairing. Triblite Queen and Swarms protect their nest. More Triblite Swarms. I managed to create some Xenos Rampant stats for my Klingons and Triblites and had a quick game with them both. Klingons attack the Queen. Triblite Swarms charge some Klingons. Klingons find themselves surrounded by Triblites.

Ambush at the Canyon - A Fistful of Lead game.

Woohoo, first game of 2024! This time we dived into the 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' scenario book. Picking the first scenario ' The Waterin' Hole ' as the basis for the game. Whilst on a manhunt for the 'Bad Hombres' gang, Marshal Bill and his posse have stopped for some rest and much needed meal. What the Marshal doesn't know is that the 'Bad Hombres' led by Ricardo are about to spring an ambush in the canyon. The posse start surrounding the camp fire. The 'Bad Hombres' start on the high ground in the canyon. Also, they took up the option of  placing a gang member in reserve, with the caveat that he turns up at one end of the canyon within the first three turns. Marshal Bill would get 5 Renown points for killing or capturing Ricardo. Also, he would get 1 Renown point for each of the 'Bad Hombres' killed or captured. The 'Bad Hombres' had different victory conditions. Ricardo couldn't leave the

28mm 3d printed Star Trek style warp shuttle

Earlier this year, there was a Kickstarter run by 2nd Dynasty for some 28mm compatible spaceships. I was pleased to see that one of the ships (a shuttle) was available as a Warp Shuttle variant and looked very suitable for Star Trek. However, my initial interest was then dampened by the fact that the Kickstarter was just for the files and that you would have to print the ships yourself. Not having a 3d printer, I let my interest wane. My interest was recently renewed by a couple of threads on Lead Adventure Forum and The Miniatures Page. Another wargamer had one of the 2nd Dynasty ships custom printed for him. More importantly the printer they used was based in the UK. Having found their website ( https://www.proteus3dmodelling.com/ ), I sent them an email asking if they could print the Warp Shuttle version. Imagine my joy when they replied with a yes! Proteus 3D Modelling were very professional and kept informed with updates and pictures of my shuttle. Additionally, they consulte
