Golden on the Tabletop: HUNTR/X Join the Collection

-

With my fondness for the film K‑Pop Demon Hunters, and the fact that I’d already picked up and painted 3D‑printed models of the Saja Boys, it really only felt right to complete the set by adding their rivals: HUNTR/X (pronounced “Huntrix”), the fictional K‑pop girl group at the heart of the movie.

In the world of the film, HUNTR/X aren’t just chart‑topping idols. Beneath the lights, choreography, and fandom energy, they live double lives as demon hunters. Their music and performances aren’t merely entertainment - they are rituals, reinforcing a mystical barrier known as the Honmoon, which keeps demonic forces from breaking into the human world.

The members of HUNTR/X

The group consists of three distinct personalities, each bringing something vital to both the band and the fight:

  • Rumi – Leader & Main Vocalist
    • Calm, driven, and quietly burdened, Rumi leads the group both musically and in combat. As the emotional and strategic centre of HUNTR/X, she carries the weight of responsibility with a mix of strength and inner conflict.
  • Mira – Main Dancer & Choreographer
    • Bold, rebellious, and fiercely confident, Mira channels her energy through movement. Whether it’s on stage or in battle, she brings power, precision, and relentless momentum.
  • Zoey – Rapper & Lyricist
    • The youngest member of the trio, Zoey is sharp‑witted and fast on her feet. Her close‑range fighting style mirrors her lyrical delivery - direct, precise, and hard‑hitting.

Miniature‑wise, I currently have two complete sets of HUNTR/X figures. One depicts them in their everyday street clothes, grounding them as idols navigating normal life between tours and threats. The second set shows them in their stage costumes from the climax of the film.

Having both versions is particularly satisfying from a hobby perspective - they capture the dual identity that makes HUNTR/X so compelling: pop stars on one hand, frontline defenders of humanity on the other. It also gives me plenty of visual variety on the table, whether they’re facing off against the Saja Boys or standing triumphant under the stage lights.

One small but fun detail I appreciate from K‑Pop Demon Hunters is the presence of Derpy and Sussie, two minor but memorable supernatural creatures in the film. They originally appear as Jinu’s pets, before later switching allegiance to Rumi, becoming her pets instead. While they don’t spend much time in the spotlight, they also provide moments of levity and charm.

The Botched Deal

-

The Wayfinder dropped out of hyperspace with a shimmer of stretched starlight snapping back into stars. Brains deftly guided the aging freighter through reentry, hands dancing across the control panel. “I’ve got the beacon. Plotting for the settlement now.” Cap’in leaned over his shoulder, eyes scanning the glowing readouts. She pointed toward a cluster of rugged hills at the edge of the valley. “Set her down in the shadow of those cliffs on the outskirts. I don’t want anyone making off with the Wayfinder while we’re in town.” Brains nodded and adjusted course without a word. The ship landed with a gentle thud, its engines cycling down in a dusty haze. The ramp lowered, and the crew stepped into the arid wind. “We’re making our way to the town on foot,” Cap’in said, tightening her cloak against the gusts. She swept her gaze across the distant jumble of buildings. “It might look like a ramshackle, dust-choked outpost, but it’s crawling with bounty hunters, slicers, and desperate types...

First game of 'Exploit Zero - Mission Critical'

-

Expolit Zero - Mission Critical by Patrick Todoroff is a set of miniature wargaming rules designed for small-scale, fast-paced sci-fi skirmishes.  Designed for two players, the game is intended for use with various sci-fi settings between elite three-person teams - known as Direct Action Units (DAUs). Each player commands a DAU comprising a Ronin (ranged specialist), a Razor (melee expert), and a Specialist (medic/hacker). Players engage in missions with hidden objectives, meaning each team may pursue different goals within the same environment. The game employs a streamlined action system where each operative has access to three dice - a D6, D8, and D10 - allocated to perform actions such as movement, attacks, or hacking attempts. Successes are typically achieved on rolls of 4 or higher. Also, a free movement action is allowed as well and this can be substituted for other actions. The game incorporates stealth deployment, allowing units to remain concealed until specific act...

The Overgrown Factory

Buried deep within the jungle and long forgotten by the galaxy, this ruin was once a Separatist droid foundry  - an industrial hub designed to churn out battle droids around the clock during the height of the Clone Wars. Back then, it echoed with the clank of metal feet and the cold hum of assembly lines. Now? It’s quiet , choked by vines and wrapped in rot. But the jungle hasn’t buried it. Not completely. And rumour says there’s still something alive inside . The Wayfinder crew spent hours trudging through suffocating undergrowth , machetes swinging, boots sinking into moss and mud. The air buzzed with heat and insects. It was the kind of place that smelled of rust, rot, and old wars . Finally, the jungle parted and the target emerged -  a skeletal factory , its structure buckling under the weight of time. Concrete walls split with roots , shattered walkways led nowhere, and thick vines strangled what was left of the upper decks. Nature was reclaiming every bolt. But not e...
