We find out how things are going for Nate now that his beautiful space aliens have taken to the battlefield.
Things might not be turning out so well but maybe something will explode...maybe? Quick, fudge it!
I must admit I am jealous! Here in the US, only the 2 player set is available. I have to wait until the January release to add my PHR to the collection.
Same here in Oz, Starter Set is in the post, can’t order anything else at this stage 🙁
Whatever you playing: a series of sixes can win the game.
that depends on the game. sometimes 6’s are the worst
This. Right. Here.
Must get my buddy into this.
The game is shaping up nicely. I was also looking at availability in the US, looks like the new year might be the time to jump in.
Boom!!
How viable is a carrier heavy list? I really want battlestar galactica from the UCM 😀
I love the friendly atmosphere – even showing what ‘might have been’. I need a gaming table
Curse those Xenos and their trickery.
Squids attack!
Scourge seems pretty solid…. i’d say they look like BRUTES! heavy hitting good resiliance… not so many shaenigans!
Be cool if you had spare bit of kit to make destroyed versions of the ships to leave on the board as you go.
That’s a good idea for using the spare bits you end up with. Debris of exploded ships.
I don’t know why the Scourge aren’t more popular. They have a good aesthetic and even better playstyle from what I can tell.
I think it’s because the aesthetic is a love it or hate it sort. I’m not a huge fan of the aesthetic personally – it suits the force thematically of course, it just doesn’t pop for some people. Also I think of all the factions their weapons are the hardest to see “at a glance” and that might have something to do with it.
That said I am actually considering picking them up just to have something different, so maybe it will grow on me 😀
I love the Scourge, they’re fast and brutal, but very fragile, it’s a strange mix of very sneaky submarine style combat with vicious charges… like a whole load of aquatic predators…
Seems you want to keep the ships close to their max distance apart because of explosions.
Where’s the special effects on these explosions?
Wondering why so many litte scourge players. They’re wonderfull antagonists
Those Scourge seem pretty Killy!
Sorry, Ben, I couldn’t hear you over that sweater.
@beetle pfft it’s a jumper :p
Was bloody boiling in that….
I was irritated the first time I saw it in one of the pictures too. I needed a closer and more intense look on that one, than on the grey Star Wars one that was worn at the bootcamp the same day.
I like it!
Looking good, nice to see the scourge.
“I rolled a lot of 6’s” well that is an easy way of saying how the game is going 😉
At last the gribblies are in play
What I want for Christmas is trained dice!
Scourge are the best 😀
pretty alien brain parasites
yeah, get up and at ’em!
