Don't know why I am so surprised
Nov. 4th, 2012 11:26 pmFinally got to start work on my Covenant of Antarctica Armoured Battle Group. The bases are clear acrylic - I guess I had just assumed that they would be black plastic like almost every other company's figures are. I don't know why it surprised me but it did!
Movie review: The Cabin in the Woods
Oct. 28th, 2012 11:34 pmI was really surprised by this movie - there was far less Cabin and far more of the "other stuff" than I expected. Still, funny, thrilling and Fran Kranz went up yet another notch in my estimation.
I have them!
Oct. 27th, 2012 11:30 pmI got my copies of both Dollhouse S1 and The Cabin In The Woods at JB Hi-Fi today!
WOOHOO!
Dollhouse even had the bonus comic in - I thought they might have deleted that for the R4 release.
WOOHOO! (again)

More DW purchases
Oct. 25th, 2012 10:54 pmWith the upcoming Storm of Steel expansion and the infantry tokens, I decided to bite the bullet and get my first DW land units - off to Tactics it was (on the way back to the station after a meeting in Perth) and bought a Covenant of Antarctica Armoured Battle Group. I'm actually quite curious to see if the land models are as well cast as the sea/air models I'm used to.
New CoA models coming
Oct. 21st, 2012 09:41 pmSpartan Games just released the details for the two new models coming for the Covenant

Movie Review: Paranormal Activity 4
Oct. 20th, 2012 10:51 pmOnce: an accident
Twice: bad luck
Three times: stupidity
Four times: unspeakably foolish
I can't believe I got dragged along again to the fourth of these films but I did. I also can't believe that this one actually had some horror moments in it at last - sadly I had to wait about 85 minutes for that to happen but still .....

rdmastersAnd now terrain too
Oct. 10th, 2012 09:59 pmI am becoming quite impressed with the releases from Studio Sparta and they've now added some terrain to the range. Both the Military Base Island Set and the Industrial Complex Set look quite impressive
( and here's the photos to prove it. )

Right on cue
Oct. 9th, 2012 11:47 pmThe very day after the long-overdue Invaders pdf finally gets released, my Invaders bundle arrives in the post! Looks like everything is there although I am not looking forward to attaching those long spindly legs though - I wonder if Dave might help me pin them .....
Spartan Games finally released the Invaders rules in a blog post. I'm still redaing the rules to figure out just how the Invaders will play - they certainly look tough, taking damage only on CR's but the drone clusters look a bit daunting too!
Now, if my Invaders starter pack would just arrive, all would be fine!

The infantry are here
Oct. 3rd, 2012 06:56 pmJust got the latest newsletter from Spartan games and the infantry tokens will be released with the Campaign Guide: Storm of Steel book. I'm glad they have gone with abstract tokens rather than the tiny 1.5mm figures they would have had to do if they had kept in scale!
The tokens themselves look quite nice - not quite sure what the dice thing is, maybe morale and unit strength/wounds perhaps?

They really are coming - and soon!
Sep. 25th, 2012 11:12 pmJust got the e-mail from Spartan Games to say that my Invaders bundle has now shipped. Should get here about 9th October, maybe - that's the usual rough shipping time.
They are coming!
Sep. 18th, 2012 11:35 pmI just ordered my Invaders Bundle from Studio Sparta. I'll order a second one next fortnight. That should give my Dystopian Wars games a new dimension. Now I just have to wait until that bloody PDF with the stats and unit rules on appears on the website!
Not the word I'd have chosen
Sep. 16th, 2012 02:12 pmI drove into the petrol station today to check up the tires on my wife's car. AS I drove around to the air pump, I could see that someone had parked their white van in front of it. No problem though, as that pump has a 20-30 foot hose on it. I am partway through pumping up the tires when I hear footsteps behind me and a male voice speaks out, "Oh sorry, you must think I'm such a slut, just leaving my van there!"
I said no problem and then he drove off before I processed what he said. I checked with my son who had heard him speak. "Did he ....?" My son just nodded and smiled.
