Xena: Warrior Princess

-

Another pack of figures from Tangent Miniatures. This time they are based on characters from the TV show 'Xena: Warrior Princess'.

There are four figures in the pack and they are easily recognisable as Xena, Gabrielle, Callisto and Autolycus.

Xena is armed with a Chakram (the trademark weapon of Xena). Once thrown it has the ability to ricochet off objects and return to the thrower. The figure is supposed to be throwing the Chakram, but no amount of pinning or glue would keep the arm upright for a bond to develop. As a result, Xena is holding the Chakram down be her side.

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

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.

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
