Mister Monkey Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 My gaming table for X-wing, which I may of become addicted to over the weekend.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 You too, eh? Very well done game. I need to get another X-wing, but beyond that I've got more than enough to play the game with. I got a second starter and the TIE Advanced and the Y-wing... the Y-wing is one that I found myself impressed with, honestly. Toss on that turret and it gets nasty. Granted, without the turret it's pretty useless, but still, the ability to fire in all directions is handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yeah I got two starters coming, then get another X-wing and advanced tie maybe. Then bide my time till Slave 1 gets released.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 That one and the Falcon look pretty good sized. Although I'm honestly more interested in the Interceptor and the A-wing than the larger ships... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yeah interceptors look cool, look forward to seeing what else they release. My only disappointment is there is no Porkins card.... ---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ---------- Oops looks like we confused poor Mako Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Who comes with the X-wing set? Wedge and who else? I'm looking forward to seeing what Baron Fel and Tycho Celchu do with their Interceptor and A-wing...those are some of my favorite characters. It'll also be interesting to see how they expand in the future. With those models out, the only things missing from the movies are the B-wing and TIE Bomber, at least at that size. Wonder if they'll go for including the E-wing, TIE Defender and other later ships. Or maybe earlier with the Clone Wars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Not too sure, but he wasn't on any of the cards I looked through. Looking forward to the Tie bomber and B-wing those are two of my favourite ships. Hows things with you Mako? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 By the by, and an excellent example of how tired I am, congrats on tying for third in the Quill, Monkey. Good job with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thanks.... blew me away when I read that, was well behind in the public poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (shrug) That's how the first contest went, actually. I think Mako had the least public votes of any who were in the running, but got the most of the private votes. And congrats to Mako for second place this time around!

Mako Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 It's always fun when you realise how important author scores are. That said I'm still shocked when people vote for my stuff! I'm not too bad monkey, how are you? I'm guessing there's a Star Wars space combat game I don't know about, that you two are enjoying? Lol. I'm trying to avoid getting into Dropzone commander, I like the models and the last time I saw the rules they were fun, but I can't be spending money on whole new game systems at the moment!

Mister Monkey Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I am the usual... and yes congrats on the second place.... X-wing is a new starfighter combat game very similar to fantasy flights old Wings of War world war one system, pretty fast and heaps of fun.... still managing to hold off on dropzone commander for now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm holding off on Dropzone purely because of lack of players. I now own two games with few players (Malifaux and X-wing) don't need to add another, lol. That said, those Archangel fighters could make for some awesome ships for X-wing... And welcome to part of why I'm working on a fighter pilot for the novel, Mako, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Ah, sounds like a good laugh that X wing then! Yeah, DzC has so few players so far. But I suspect I'll end up with two armies to try and coax people to play it (partly because its fun, part because the models are pretty, and a little bit because my mate runs the company lol). The archangels are good fun in game too. As is the napalm bomber the humans have. That thing can make a real mess if you leave infantry in the open... But I definitely won't get it until April. I might return from England with two small armies (hell, if I could afford it all four) but for now I'll be good. And that's knowing that my paintwork is in the book, and my name is on one of the command cards! Fighter combat is awesome though, to play and to write.

Mister Monkey Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 The main thing keeping me away from DZC at the moment is sheer lack of time. Too many games too little time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 It's always the way really, the new games have to wait their turn to get into people's play stack I think. It's a 'not yet' until something falls off the top few places, then it can sneak up and in! Ugh, in my current fragile state the last thing I need is Sophie full of ideas and energy.

Mister Monkey Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 The biggest issue I have with new games is it always seems to fall on me to do the grunt work and push the game to the masses, DZC I am willing to get behind but I really want somebody else to spearhead the push into gaming consciousness... so might be a long wait. What new ideas you thinking of now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 What kind of ideas? Writing or painting? ---------- Post added at 01:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 AM ---------- And what'd you paint in the book? o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Oh, every idea under the sun in a confused jumble of concepts! Lots of painting and sculpting stuff (I refuse to try for the five foot high coiled dragon sculpture, I don't have the time or space), some rather jumbled scenes for various stories but nothing to connect them together, and so on. I painted a couple of bits in the guest painters pages, and got pride of place central on the first page of it. Need to get a copy of it when I'm over next. Also did a bit of play testing for it. In fact, I played the first ever game of it way back at the start of testing! We got drunk doing it too... ---------- Post added at 07:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 AM ---------- Here's one of the bits I did, the other featured one I don't have a good shot of except the one in the book.

edonil Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Woah. Impressive. I actually think I like that one, and I'm not a real fan of those models... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Nice job on that model.... now stop showing it to me, you know my resolve is week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) They work as an organic type, I'm less of a fan of them in metals. But they are the quintessential evil alien race, so they have to be in my collection eventually! Still think for now I'll be getting the two human races first, they're lovely. And one day I'll have the space to retrieve those models back, and I'll have several tanks and a giant desolator already painted for that army! I have some on my desk to be made into a diorama for April, although I haven't yet worked out how I'll resculpt parts of metal models that are so tiny as the infantry!
